Okay.

It is 4 30.

So we are now gonna begin the agenda meeting for the for what will be the March 17th City Council meeting.

The first thing we'll have at the meeting next week is a do I have the right?

Forgive me just one moment.

Yes, first up, we will have a report from the nominating committee.

And then we will move right into consent.

And after the meeting minutes, here are our consent items.

We have item A2, a joint funding agreement.

It's a resolution to approve a joint funding agreement with the U.S.

Geological Survey for stream gauge operation and maintenance and water quality sampling and monitoring at various locations in the city of Fayeville in 2026 with the amount paid by the city not to exceed $60,700.

And Chris is here and available to speak more about that if anyone would like.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah, so this is a um a stream gauge monitoring program.

We've got two locations in the city, one on town branch near the White River, uh, and one on Mud Creek near the the uh city limits to the north.

Um these gauges are um maintained by the US Geological Survey, and uh they so they take samples periodically and we we pay for the uh for the service that they provide.

Um this is uh this is looking at stream gauge uh stream heights, uh so when we have floods, we know what kind of uh flooding event we have.

Uh it also has some some water quality uh sampling that it that we take.

Uh this is funded uh the USGS paid to put these in.

Uh we pay for the maintenance and upkeep.

Generally they they do contribute five thousand dollars per year, but we pay the remaining and we split that between uh the stormwater fund and the uh water and sewer fund.

Thank you, Chris.

Go ahead, Teresa.

Uh thank you, Mayor.

Um, I just wanted to ask Chris.

I mean, this is a long-term data set that the city gathers so we can really look at change over time in terms of um flow height and and how qu uh rapidly the stream will rise.

How many do you know off the top of your head how many years we've but we've got this data set for?

Um I think it's been Alan before I go here.

So I think it's been over 10 years, yes.

Okay, I think it's really important that we maintain that.

So thank you for bringing it forward.

Sure.

I I just have one more question.

I'm sorry.

Um do you have data to share with us about the the data that they're collecting?

Um I believe these now and correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe this is online and available.

We can provide a link to that if you if you'd like.

It's continuous information.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Sarah, this morning.

That was just what I had had my light on, was just I was curious about the different places that it does get reported, just so the public if they have an interest where they can go locate it.

I was just trying to do a Google search to find it and I couldn't locate it.

So yeah, we can we can send that link out to y'all so you can have it.

Yes.

Great.

Thank you, Chris.

Um, the next A3, A4, and five are all out of fleet, and Ross is here should you have questions.

The first one, A3 is a resolution to approve the purchase of automotive, heavy duty, and off-road aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment, accessories, and additional services from multiple vendors as needed within the approved budget, pursuant to a source swell cooperative purchasing contract through January 10th, 2029, and any future renewals.

Terry is also here for that item.

A4 is a resolution to approve the purchase of two Ford F 550 plow trucks and the total amount of 186,789.

Um Olatha Ford Sales Incorporated, pursuant to a source well cooperative purchasing contract, plus any applicable surcharges, freight charges, and delivery fees, up to 10% of the original purchase price.

Minister Jones.

Thank you.

Um going back to A3.

Um, A3 is not for the purchase of any automotive vehicles.

Is it just for the parts?

Parts and tools, supplies, equipment.

That is correct.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yep.

Okay.

And A5 is a resolution to award bid 26-23.

Ross, if you'll kind of stay close.

And approve the purchase of standardized low profile trailers as needed within the approved budget for $21,385 per trailer, plus any applicable taxes from 36 North Network Solutions of Arkansas through the end of 2026.

And Mr.

Stafford, we are reading A5 right now.

Ms.

Moore.

Sorry, I'm back on the back on the other item about the snow plows.

I just didn't know.

It says it went faster, so I didn't know if there was anything in particular with our like more recent uh winter events or you know this was a unique incident of those going a little faster than expected.

Uh faster is our fleet management software.

It gives them that actual support.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right, thank you.

Yep.

Great.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Next, I'm gonna ask Devin to go ahead and come up for item A6.

Um it's he's gonna present to us a resolution to approve a five-year lease agreement with OSM Aviation Academy for the hangar located at 4578 South School Avenue for rent in the amount of $1,900 per month.

Thank you.

That's what they are paying us.

Um, and $3,026 square feet of office space in the airport terminal building located at 4,500 South School Avenue for rent in the amount of $3,782 per month with an option to renew for an additional five-year term.

This is exciting and big news for the airport, and we have several people that can take questions, but we're gonna start with Mr.

Howland.

Thank you, Mayor.

Good afternoon, Council.

Devin Holland, economic development.

The item before you for your consideration next Tuesday is a resolution that authorizes a lease agreement between the City of Fayetteville and OSM Aviation Academy for facilities at Drakefield Airport.

This lease agreement secures a globally recognized commercial aviation training operator and represents a significant and very consequential step forward in bolstering Drake Field as an economic development asset for Fayetteville.

OSM Aviation Academy is one of the largest commercial airline pilot training schools in Europe.

Founded in 1963 and headquartered in Arendahl, Norway, the company operates training campuses around the world and has partnerships with companies across the globe.

OSM's establishment of a commercial airline pilot school at Drake Field transitions a meaningful portion of their operations from outside of the U.S.

into the United States.

And selecting Fayetteville as a strategic location for that expansion was very intentional.

Large scale pilot training academies select locations based off of a very narrow set of criteria, including access into airspace, weather, operational flexibility, and also the community they're in.

The presence of a globally recognized aviation training center at Drake Field is going to create a boon of economic activity in the daytime at the airport.

It is going to bring students from around the world to live, train, and work and participate right here in our community.

And it establishments a new commercial aviation pathway to become a commercial airline pilot that would be accessible to local residents in the middle of 2027.

From an economic development standpoint, this operation this project represents a very significant step forward for Fayetteville, the city, and South Fayetteville specifically.

It has the potential to position Fayetteville as a national commercial airline training hub and expand additional pathways for our residents.

Additionally, it secures a very significant employer who in and of themselves will create an immense amount of jobs.

The proposed operation is designed to scale over time.

Initial operations will begin in 2026 with a small fleet of aircraft and approximately 18 students.

By year's end, you could expect that to be about 10 aircraft and 90 students.

By the end of 2027, you'd reach the cap of what this lease structure would be able to facilitate, and that's about 25 aircraft and about 190 students throughout that year, with long-term potential to expand through 100 aircraft and 700 graduates annually.

This phased expansion allows us to both capture immediate economic activity, but also long-term commercial workforce development pipeline development.

The action before council is straightforward.

Staff is recommending approval of a five-year lease agreement with OSM for a corporate hangar at the address mayor listed, as well as 3,026 square feet of office space within our terminal building.

Under the terms of the agreement, the $1,900 per month for the hangar has a 3% annual escalation.

And the office space is leased at $15 per square foot.

OSM is going to be making substantial improvements into this office space.

All tenant improvements to that space will be at their own expense, which will temporarily offset rent until those improvement costs are recaptured.

Importantly, all tenant improvements are funded by OSM.

There is no municipal capital investment being discussed.

The Air Force, the air the office space in the airport terminal building has not generated revenue beyond $25 a day for over 20 years.

And that is rare when it's been used.

In addition to lease revenue, the project will generate direct operational revenue for Drake Field through fuel sales.

At the scale of 25 training aircraft, staff estimates about $103,000 in net profit off of a year of fuel sales.

Take into account across five years, we're at $515,000.

We add that in to the planned lease revenue across that.

This five-year package has about a direct benefit of $877,000.

And it also is conservative in staff's opinion because it assumes they will never grow above the 25 aircraft.

If they did, additional lease agreements would have to come back to you for consideration.

OSM Aviation Academy in the pursuit of this tenants is also consistent with the aims of the airport master plan, which itself has estimated annual single piston aircraft, which are the majority of this fleet, growing at a rate of 9%.

And then further, annual aircraft operations are estimated to increase by 25% from 2024 to 2028, 65% 2024 to 2033.

Additionally, the master plan contemplates revenue generations in areas of the main terminal, and this agreement meets that goal too.

As Mayor Ron said in her state of the city, Fayetteville prides itself in being a welcoming community.

Approval of this lease agreement will enable students from around the world to travel to Fayetteville to learn.

It's actually a big reason why this company's here is our community.

More broadly, it lays the foundation for an aviation and commercial cluster in South Fayetteville and the possibility of expanded partnerships, expanding training opportunities, et cetera.

Council, this agreement is more than a lease agreement, an office agreement.

It represents the beginning of a new chapter for our airport, and it unlocks a public asset that has not been fully leveraged the best that it can to create revenue, but also a new school.

Opportunities like this for a city of our size and an airport of our size are very rare.

And we have the chance to capture that momentum now.

We're I'm happy to answer any questions.

And Jared Rabin, who's been worth me hand but or been with me side by side through this process, is also here.

Thank you, Council.

Happy to answer any questions.

Great.

Thank you so much, Devin.

I appreciate you.

Uh Mr.

Wheedaker.

Thank you, Mayor.

I I'm excited about the project.

I can't thank you guys for all of the work.

The airport runs on fuel sales.

And the more you can sell, the more cash you have to maintain the facility.

I think we underestimate what this kind of project means to the FAA and the grants we become eligible for to maintain the airport, the fence around it, the control tower, all the safety features.

So the more it gets used, the more federal dollars that flower flow our way.

So I don't know how you found these people or they found you.

I know you don't speak uh Norwegian or Swedish, so you know, God bless you and uh thank you.

Thank you.

Um Ms.

Turk.

I think Okay, Minister Jones.

Thank you, Mayor.

I I just had a question.

What I heard you say was they were going to lease this office space at $15 per square foot.

But we were going to offset the rent until they have improvement.

It's gonna end up being $3780, I think you said a month, but what is the anticipated length needed to update the space?

Absolutely phenomenal question.

And there's a provision in the lease because we don't have a number set tied to that.

That was an intentional and strategic decision by our airport director because as soon as you do, they're just gonna run up to that number.

Right.

There's an improvement section of the lease, and then that improvement section it says this is not a blank check.

Every single expenditure has to be approved by the airport director.

And so as they work with their construction firms, should this lease be approved?

Jared's gonna have to approve that at that point in time, we'll have a much better idea.

What we know is this is not intended to be some blank check that causes you to get free rent for five years.

Right.

It's gonna be much more reasonable, and that's why his oversight will be on that every step of the way.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you, Councilmember.

Ms.

Turk.

Thank you, Mayor.

It's a perfect follow-up.

So um I am very excited about this prospect.

I think this is a great addition to Fayable.

I think it will help fund the airport, or it's kind of been, I would say, lagging there for a while.

So um I'm really excited about this.

One thing uh that is just a nice follow-on to what council member um Jones had to ask is if there are any requirements for upgrading upgrading or expanding water sewer capacity or electrical, who who bears that cost?

As of right now, and Jared correct me if I misspoke, the terminal has plenty of capacity to handle this operation on there.

There's an additional provision in the lease that kind of addresses that very question.

We contemplated what would happen outside of these facilities for that very reason.

OSM and this tenant cannot add to the hangar with an office per se.

They can't add to the terminal, they cannot engage in work outside of the footprint.

That is subject to separate negotiation and would have to come back to city council for approval.

That was very intentionally designed, recognizing we don't know what all those answers may be, and we may have to figure out is it grants?

Is it a public-private pursuit?

I don't know, but that's why that structure is there.

And so those questions would come back to you with answers should they arise.

So for example, um, let's just say that the I mean, you know, the airport's quite a few years old, and if they're not up to um standard electrical code right now, um, that would be something that would come back because that's kind of in that gray area about who would pay for the upgrade of cost to meet code while they're undergoing remodeling.

Well, it would depend on we we have the least structured as inside the footprint of the building and not.

And so inside the footprint, if they're gonna move electrical boxes around, that's on that's on OS.

That's all on them.

Okay, all right.

Thank you for answering that.

You're very welcome.

Ms.

Moore.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, so I had a lot of reservations, and I really appreciate that.

I've had a lot of time to talk with staff and answer a lot of the questions that I had.

And so, you know, with opportunity also comes additional possible, you know, opportunities or hurdles that could exist with the project.

And so um, I appreciate my I had similar you know questions with my colleagues.

Um I know that um I don't know if the screens are frozen, so hopefully nothing else is broken.

Sorry, I see council member Turks here and back at us.

I don't know if I broke something.

Sorry, we're working, they're working.

Okay.

Um sorry.

Um so in regard to especially what was spoken about with like the fuel cells, right?

Knowing we have such sustainability efforts in our community, um, you know, air travel is a huge pollutant, and so that was concerning to me at the high level that we are suddenly gonna have air travel.

Um I did speak with Jared today and really appreciate that he spoke about, you know, there is a window um long term working with the FAA to try to look at alternative fuels that become you know cleaner.

Um my question is, you know, can we is there a way as we're looking at this to be able to um kind of report back on some of those or any offsets or opportunities that happen over time?

And my hope is it's not 10 years.

I think we talked about maybe there's some opportunity for that window to get smaller, but just want to make sure we've got some sustainability matching with us as as a master plan.

And then uh separately, um I did a lot of research quickly trying to hear and understand what other communities had undergone when they'd had just such a vast change in their airport.

You know, I hear today from residents who you know, their windows and their houses are being shaken, right, from certain flight paths or that live close by the airport and have certain times that they you know feel very inconvenient.

So that quality of life that we all talked about on a panel is so important.

Um sounds like these airplanes are gonna be much quieter that should be compliant, but my question is um are we monitoring and can we report on the noise complaints happening today with this contract?

And then um as they come on, my question is you know, if we start to see those uptick, just wanting, I saw there are some programs around like uh friendly skies or others, just to be more proactive so that because so much of our stuff is complaint-based, just hoping that we don't um inconvenience those residents potentially if there ends up being a situation in that regard.

Um and then my other question was around um the pollutants that happen with like the the lead, gasoline, um, and you know, that can have neurological um impacts to to kids and respiratory and things.

I didn't know if there would be a way that we could monitor what it it's like for currently to create a baseline.

I think we talked about there's an ADQ spot, but I don't know that that's our rating, and then being able to monitor that ongoing in the event, you know, if we see those faint levels rising of those particular pollutants, I didn't know if there might be any offsets that we can do, just thinking about that area of the population and not wanting to just over you know pollute in that particular area with thinking about um, you know, and um and again hoping we're gonna get to a cleaner fuel.

But those are my initial uh concern areas where you know the noise, the um the uh pollutants, you know, the the potential that that you know disrupts the quality of life for folks over on that side of town, and I appreciate that the team talked with me about those and that we you know talked about there's some longer term things that might be happening, but just hoping too that we can monitor and report on some of those things too.

Of course, thank you.

Um, in regards to I've learned a lot about aircrafts through this project as well.

And this and this tenant actually accelerates the city's ability to step away from and are offering a more help an unleaded fuel, MOGAS, as it's called, motor gas.

I'm learning all this new.

Avgas is what has the jet fuel in it.

And so we've never had that need, but a user of this demand could usher a new era of offering for us.

And in regards to noise, these are some of the smallest quietest of train aircraft in the world.

They're very small, they're coming out of Italy.

They're a little two-seater training aircraft.

They will be the quietest airplanes that use Drakefield Airport.

And Drakefield Airport has been an active airport for 90 years in the city.

We have jets that come in, et cetera.

People aren't going to really notice all of these types of things.

And when we think about where these where this company and where their students are excited to fly, they have all this amazing wooded area to the south of us, et cetera.

They're really looking forward to that.

And that was one of the big selling points about why Fayetteville.

And then lastly, too, the big why Fayetteville was the community as a whole.

It was they did not want to be far from downtown.

It was the school.

They're asking people to uproot their lives for nine months to 12 months to come and live in a city.

And they needed them to feel safe and accepted, and that was huge value core for this.

And so that was another synergy with this as well.

But in regards to monitoring all that, I'm happy to coordinate with Jared and look at reporting out on any of those types of things.

And yes, I have a feeling this is just but the first step with this one.

And but yeah, we can definitely track noise complaints too.

Mr.

Stafford.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, Devin, I I know that you and Jared are probably aware that I am uh slightly excited about this.

Uh um, very excited about this.

The amount of economic development this is gonna bring with with jobs with students coming to stay here in our community uh to learn to fly.

Um, the these aircraft, I've studied them.

I'm a little bit of an aviation geek uh that are coming out of Italy.

I didn't bring my notes today.

But these are some of the most fuel efficient low burn rate uh planes.

They it if Maverick had a runway, they could pull right up to Maverick and use the same gas that you and I use to fill up our our cars.

Uh now we that won't be available to them at first, but as Devin mentioned, if they grow, they would be able and we supplied them motor gas, aka gas, uh they would be able to use that in their uh unleaded gas.

Right now, all that's available at Drakefield would be the Avgas.

Um, but these are some of the quietest planes, some of the most fuel efficient planes they're gonna be bringing is their main single engine planes.

Um the the again the amount of economic development bringing, I am so excited about this.

Uh and and uh very much looking forward to it.

And I I think those uh environmental concerns, I would say that this is an opportunity we bring them here.

They create a need for that unleaded gas, and then we're gonna be able to supply it.

And then a lot of the other aircraft that are already operating our airport that it can also take that type of gas, but don't create the demand, will also be able to move to that gasoline.

So again, I think this is a net benefit for Fayetteville in so many different ways, and it's a game changer for Drakefield.

Um, Mr.

Burnett.

Thank you, Mayor.

And I should also say we have Dr.

Jones on Zoom now, so turn your light on, Keith if you need Mr.

Burner, go ahead.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um Devin, refresh my memory.

Can you tell me what year that uh the airport uh they transferred operations from there to um XNA roughly 98 okay?

So since 98 we went from an economic driver to our in our area to basically a drain on our uh on our area.

Uh not a drain, but it was uh I mean I absolutely something we need, and but it's the the revenue was gone uh for the most part from from that driver.

Uh this to me, when I first heard it, I thought there's not enough people in in Fayetteville, it's gonna take flight less flight schools for this gonna be a major deal.

But when you made your presentation, I thought, uh, hold on a minute, this has got some serious uh potential.

Uh so uh I I hope on Tuesday that we can pass this overwhelmingly and uh uh because I do think it's has some trickle-down effects that uh bringing kid uh foreign uh kids to our area.

Uh you know, that that's a driver in the fact that they're gonna have to rent a place, they're gonna have to go to our restaurants, they're gonna have to.

We're gonna see tax revenue that from this.

So I I think it's a a very positive thing.

Thank you.

Ms.

Moore, um, and I let staff know um I am asking to pull this off consent.

I just that'll allow for more of the public to be aware and ask questions.

I add a lot.

I'm sure there'll be some from the public, and that just doesn't happen when it's on consent.

Do you have go ahead, um Mr.

Stefan?

I'm I just say I I'm happy to have this off consent because it it gives us an opportunity to promote it and let the people know what awesomeness is coming to Fayetteville.

Yeah.

Are there specific questions you have for Devin or for Jared or for Terry or Chris or anybody on the staff that that haven't been answered that we can make sure we're prepared for it?

Okay.

You just want the residents to be able to there have been some folks that have just recently seen it, and so I don't know if they have questions or not.

And so if it's on consent, obviously they can't ask those questions.

So I'm continuing to take on new information, and so I'm happy to share those questions if I have them prior to the meeting with staff, but it's a lot of new information just to take on.

So got it.

Okay.

Um, okay, great.

Thank you so much, Devin, and thank you, Jared.

And hopefully, this is the first of several things like this we're gonna see.

So we appreciate you.

Um, next takes us back to the airport, A7, a resolution to authorize a contract with Garver LLC pursuant to RFQ 25-26 to provide on call aviation engineering services for a period of one year with automatic renewals for up to four additional one year terms and to approve task order number one in an amount not to exceed $20,000 per year.

And I don't know if this is Chris or Jared.

Jared, it's Jared.

Come on.

Okay, please come on up.

Or I'm assuming that based we may we may not have questions about it.

So I was maybe premature on that.

And it doesn't look like we did.

So the next A8 is a resolution to approve a contract with more.

I can fano Goltzman Incorporated, pursuant to RFP 25 27 in an amount not to exceed 359,564 dollars for services associated with the planning and development of the downtown plan, and to approve a budget amendment in the amount of 23,238.

Britain.

Thank you so much, Mayor Ron, and good afternoon, council.

I'm Britton Bostick with long range planning.

Here to talk to you about one of my very favorite projects, give you a little bit of an update, and then also request the council's approval of a contract.

Since the middle of September 2025, we have been at 52 events and presentations, received over 1,100 comments, and published 22 online media posts and all of that to get our community input for the downtown plan before we go to the planning work itself.

Um that's a little bit different.

We normally hire a big consultant and then we begin the work and we involve our community later.

And we went the opposite way this time.

And I'm really glad that we did.

So here's some photos of that work over the last several months.

Um I however a huge thank you to a lot of our downtown businesses and institutions who have hosted us at all of these meetings.

That includes everyone from Georgia's Majestic Lounge to the Walton Art Center, Pinpoint, the Fayetteville Public Library, Crisis Brewing Plomo, the Fayetteville Farmers Market, Pink House Buzz Bugsies, and as of this morning, Fayetteville Public Schools, we met with our second fifth grade class at Holt Middle School.

They would like you all to know how interested they are in sporting and active recreation opportunities in the downtown.

Um our class with Holt last week was very interested in retail and restaurant opportunities, and I'll be back tomorrow morning for one more round with our fifth graders to understand what their goals for the downtown are.

And that has been a really enjoyable experience.

Um so if you would like to see the data on our middle schoolers' preferences captured this morning, here you are.

They had a very high priority for housing for all incomes.

Our young people are incredibly supportive of their neighbors.

They also had a very high priority for safety for all ages, active places, and natural character.

And we're looking forward to balancing those things in our upcoming downtown plan document.

If the council remembers, you all did approve the first consultant contract at the end of last year.

Um that was with the downtown Fayetteville Coalition.

So we did bring them on as our first contracted partner to be with us on the downtown plan.

We know that engaging with our business and institutional community in our downtown is very, very important.

It also takes a lot of work, so we've been glad to have them as partners uh all of this time.

And we are looking forward to working with them as we continue to move forward through the summer and into the fall.

But we also need a planning consultant to do that work.

And so that's what the contract in front of you for this item is.

Um it's with a firm uh that has a lot of experience in downtown plans, comprehensive plans, planning generally.

Um, they had a very competitive proposal, so we're pleased to bring that to you all.

Um so they'll be doing planning support and development of the downtown plan and also community engagement events.

Think the big community engagement events that our neighbors are all expecting us to have following these more intimate uh conversations over the last several months.

And then that focus of their work will reflect community priorities for housing, cultural and public spaces and improve mobility.

So we're excited to be working with them on this if the council uh says yes.

And then what you can expect moving forward is that we'll be moving fast to get that plan document done.

Again, we've done a lot of public engagement already, had a lot of conversations about what the plan needs to look like when we're ready to get to work.

So over the summer, we'll be developing that plan, and we intend to have a draft ready for public review and comment in September.

October and December, we'll be going through the plan adoption process.

Um, and we'll get this wrapped up and then on to the next long range project.

So I'm happy to answer any questions if you all have them.

Um otherwise, thank you for your support for this.

And thank you so much to our community for the hard work on the plan.

Thank you, Brenton.

Okay.

I'm not seeing any questions.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

A9, a resolution to authorize the acceptance of a certified local government grant from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program in the amount of 47,300 for phase two of a citywide windshield survey of historic properties and historic district commission training and to approve a budget adjustment.

And so this is a grant we have already been awarded it.

We just have to permission to accept it.

And Kylie is here to answer questions about that if you have them.

And that brings us to A10.

A resolution to approve amendment four to the engineering services contract with Hawkins Weir Engineers Incorporated in the amount of 21,520 for additional construction services associated with recycling and trash facility improvements.

Peter Nearingarden is here.

Should you have any questions?

A11.

A resolution to approve.

This is, I think, like the fifth one we've seen in the past several months.

Uh Councilmember Turk, I know you and I were talking about this.

A resolution to approve an agreement with Access Dumpsters LLC for the hauling and disposal of solid waste in the city of Fayetteville for a period of two years with automatic renewals for two additional two-year terms.

We've had a ton of these come through.

I don't know if you've noticed recently.

Um Peter is here to answer questions about this one.

But just in general, be thinking right now, if you're wondering why we bring this to you, the ordinance requires that anybody that wants to haul um solid waste in the city that it come through the council.

If you would rather that be something that's done administratively, let us know and we could work with the city attorney and do that.

If not, we were gonna continue to see them.

I don't expect that's gonna slow down.

So just letting you know.

A12.

Excuse me.

A resolution to award bid 25-57 and approve a contract with metals treatment technologies LLC for remediation of lead contamination at the old police shooting range in the amount of 180,719 dollars and 35 cents, and to approve a project contingency in the amount of 45,000 45,179 and 84 cents.

Keith is here and can take, I don't have a name on that.

So Keith is here and can take questions about this, and I assume also Peter.

Yes.

Um, Ms.

Turk.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um I thought we allocated funding for this cleanup, like maybe last year.

And so um I I'm just I probably need a memory update or correction uh to understand why it's it's here again.

Uh yes, ma'am.

So we there was money allocated in the CIP, um, I believe in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

So we needed three years worth of CIP to accumulate enough money to do to to fund both the design of the improvements and now the construction to make the remediation and the improvements.

So if I remember correctly, the previous um monies were spent to just haul off all the lead or recycle the lead that was in there.

Is that accurate?

No, we have not done any of the lead removal yet.

The previous um action you may remember was authorization of the contract with Olsen Engineering to do the design for the remediation, basically to put together the plans and specifications that this contractor bid on.

And um, what you are authorizing here is the um the remediation, which will be the removal of the lead that you're you're talking about.

So this will be the final expense that we see before us, or will there be additional uh encumbrances?

This should be the final expense.

Um we've included a 25% contingency in the contract because it we have a rough idea of how much lead is in the ground, but we won't know for sure until we get in and begin excavating.

So the hope is that we've completely covered it with that 25% contingency.

And then that lead will be recycled.

That is correct.

Okay.

Yes.

Thank you.

Uh council member more.

Thank you.

Councilmember Turk got part of my question, so thank you about just if this is a complete cost, but um, I believe this is then gonna have the ability to have expansion for services that's down in that area.

And I just didn't know are those gonna require like additional monies to put because I believe is it the composting that's gonna move into this area?

Yeah, so this area is directly adjacent to the city's compost facility.

Um it is it is um below the floodplain currently, and so uh once the lead is removed and all the remediation work is done, uh we'll be looking at um uh attempting to try to do some um eleving of that uh space so that we can use it for storage and potentially uh expanding our compost area.

Okay, and is that somewhere within our like CIP budgets for future years potentially or we anticipate using um uh CIP monies that are in the compost um facility CIP in order to fund that work at a later date.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, thank you, Peter.

Um A13, a resolution to approve a budget amendment in the amount of 14,634 dollars, recognizing hazmat services revenue received from Washington County and increasing the related expense budget.

Chief Harden is here to speak about this.

And that I don't think they have questions, unless you just want to tell us about it, in which we case well.

Yeah.

A14, police department policies.

You could also, if you wanted to, Brad, you could come up and speak about this one if you'd rather.

Yeah.

A resolution to approve amendments to Fayetteville police department policies um policies section 41.3.8, body worn camera and digital mobile video recorders, and 52.1.1 Office of Professional Standards.

Deputy Chief Tad Scott is here and is gonna go ahead and come up and answer your questions about this item.

And maybe a brief summary first, and then we can take questions.

I gave the fire chief all my notes.

I don't understand.

So, yes.

Uh good afternoon.

So the Federal Police Department is currently reviewing and updating existing policies to meet accreditation standards that reflect current practices, comply with state statutes, and ensure language consistency.

As outlined in your package, staff recommends approval of a resolution updating policies to make necessary changes to meet new protocols.

The two policies I bring before you are one.

The first one is 41.3.8, which is our body worn camera and digital mobile video recorders, which are our in-car cameras.

The changes within this policy consist of language from officers to swarm personnel, will to shall it also matches up language to our two accreditation programs that we the that we work with in the bulk of this policy is we had our in-car cameras were watch guard, different company, different operational um functions, if you will, different processes.

Our body worn cameras were acts on.

They were provided by Axon.

So we moved away from WatchGuard to Axon.

So all of our body worn cameras in our digital mobile vehicle recorders are all under one company under one software platform.

So the bulk of that yellow that you see in there is we took two policies and we're merging them into one.

So the bulk of that yellow that you see in there is the operations, the processes, the protocols of how axon works versus how WatchGuard worked.

And again, we we had some we had them under two policies, and we had some various uh directives that we we moved them all under under under, I'm sorry, one policy.

So our second policy is 52.1.1, which is our office of professional standards, which is our fancy word for internal investigations, if you will.

It contains changes to meet language, also the the will to shall officers to swarm personnel to comply with Arkansas State statute and law enforcement bill of rights, as well as other language to fall within our our the two accreditation agencies that we comply with.

So that is it in a nutshell on those two policies.

I will gladly take questions.

Thank you, Tad.

Ms.

Morton.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, and thank you, Tad, for the summary of that.

Um, these are policies that while I know you're changing certain areas.

Um, these have not come in front of this current body.

I think both of these show um the last date that they were um effective and approved was from 2020.

So bear with me.

I've got questions um about each of these policies that I wanted to go through with you.

Absolutely.

Um page two, and just let me know if you're not following me, Tad.

I'll try to give you body worn cameras.

Um on body worn cameras on page two, under a use of equipment on number four.

Um, it says that um vehicles not routinely used for traffic stops or enforcement actions, such as those assigned to school resource officers or community-oriented units may be exempt from the requirement of the cameras.

Um I it says they may be exempt, but I just was curious what occurs today.

Do they have those in place today?

No, ma'am.

So, like our school resource office, so they're incredibly expensive systems, so we don't outfit every single vehicle that we have with them.

The vehicles that we would we would transport, I say individuals, um, folks that have been arrested with are the main vehicles.

So all of our patrol vehicles have them, and their vehicles that are for this policy, if you wear a uniform, to simplify this, if you're wear a uniform, you're required to wear a body worn camera.

So if you're transporting somebody, you're transporting them in a marked vehicle for the most part.

I can think of rare exceptions when you might not be.

And in that, those vehicles are equipped with the I'm gonna call it a DMVR.

That's the in-car, if that's easier, and then obviously body worn camera.

So our school resource officers, they don't they don't routinely transport individuals like that.

And then we have obviously our various vehicles like our our crisis intervention response team, our detective vehicles, various other vehicles that aren't commonly used for transportation for transporting individuals.

Those those do not have those.

Okay.

Um thank and thank you for that explanation.

But it but it could be possible that those um vehicles could end up detaining or arresting individuals potentially or no.

Tremendously unlikely.

For safety purposes and practicality for for the officers and those you're transporting, they'll use they will call a patrol unit, a marked patrol unit over that has an officer that has this camera, and then the in-car cameras will.

Okay.

And then um on the number six, um, I just wasn't sure.

I know there's something called a trail team, I think it's called, it says um uh motorcycle or bicycle patrol are required to wear unless improved by a supervisor, and yeah, I know like there are folks that are just out on our our trails, and so I didn't know if those were falling underneath that for body worn cameras, given that it said in unless improved by a supervisor.

Yes, ma'am.

So so when it some of that covers when it talks about a class A and a Class B uniform, class A is the super nice one.

You got your ties and your polished shoes, your polished shoes.

Your class B is probably more like you're gonna see with our our bicycle patrol folks or our trails and parks patrol folks, but all of those individuals are required to wear body worn cameras.

Okay, all right, thank you, Tad.

Yes, ma'am.

I had a few other that's everything for Tad or No, I'm sorry, I just was trying to get to the page.

On page six on D, it just says the language is when possible the sworn personnel shall activate their um recording.

Um and I just didn't know how that's monitored or tracked on the when possible.

The very beginning there, sworn personnel shall activate.

Yeah, when possible is what it says.

Yes.

So on page six, it shows the directives to the officers that that laundry list right there.

You will activate it under these circumstances.

Let me go to the second page and I'll come back.

Second page shows automatic activations.

So as there's speed, there's if they're involved in collision, they turn the blue lights on.

They autumn they pull their their weapon out of their holster, their pistol out of their holster, it automatically activates.

So to go back to your question, they shall.

If I'm sitting in my car and I'm working on a report, and frankly, somebody walks up and surprises me, and I get out to talk to them for safety purposes.

I want to get out to talk to them, whatever it is.

I may forget.

So I might not activate it.

So to go to the other part of your question in that is yes, they're supposed to say, Hey, I I was sitting there working on my reports, I should have been paying attention.

Somebody walked up on me, I had to jump out, I didn't activate my body worn camera.

Okay, and they can activate it any time.

Each supervisor of each squad, or or anybody that has a body worn camera, trails and parks, your bike patrol, they do a quarterly audit of our mobile data computer terminals, our in-car cameras, and our body worn cameras.

And then on top of that, our administrative our administrative personnel does a secondary audit on top of that.

So they are audited quarterly at the very least.

Okay.

Thank and thank you for explaining that.

Um I think I might have had you might have answered one of the questions I'd had in the back.

Um on item F on page eight.

Um, one of the the areas under FD, it just says sworn personnel may deactivate or not activate when dealing with reluctant witnesses or victims.

I just I didn't know, I could understand if someone felt you know unsure and maybe you know, trying to make someone more comfortable, you might deactivate.

My question is how do we navigate that in the event, you know, sometimes folks as they're talking, they might have a complaint with an officer, and so I just didn't know how we navigated that.

That's exactly what that's for a couple fold there.

Somebody can request us to turn it off, but we are required to get that request recorded before we turn it off.

Same situation here.

They would try to understand why why that makes them uncomfortable and probably explain that to them.

Hey, I understand where you're coming from or you're reluctant.

They have to have a reason to deactivate that.

Um if that answers your question.

It does.

Um, and I'll I'll end on one more question.

Um and I'll send, I've got other questions, I'll just email them to you.

Um, but on page um 10, there says like how long we actually retained the body worn camera, and it says on the no action 270 days incidents that do not result in police action.

I just didn't know how the 270 days lines up to if someone potentially again they had an interaction with an officer, they maybe file a complaint down the road or needed to pursue something.

How does that work with like the statute of limitations or how long we might take a complaint for somebody versus that no action 270 days where we might then destroy or get rid of that recording?

We'll we'll certainly take a complaint at any point.

We rarely have ever run into a situation where generally it's it falls into one of these other categories, if that makes sense, where a complaint stems from an arrest from a citizen contact.

So there's obviously there's a number of instances that you can have a no action.

I may get out and go look for a dog.

Um I may change somebody's flat tire, but it's not an action.

So they may retain that for 270 days.

So it's I can't recall an instance in which we've come back and and we haven't had that available.

But at some point, obviously they take up a lot of space.

So at some point we have a number to it, and that seems to have worked for us so far is 270 days.

So a no action, they've again they fall into a number of these categories where they're going to be captured probably either somewhere else that's going to retain them for a period of uh so a misdemeanor arrest four years, felony seven years.

Um, some of these other investigations.

You could have these uncategorized, and and what they're required to do is so if I do come in contact with somebody, and maybe it doesn't fit into one of these categories, but maybe it is a no action, or it ends up in that no action.

If I know that's coming, or I had that on favorable experience, or I provided a level of service that somebody wasn't happy with, there we ask them to let their supervisor know so we can retain those.

We can change those.

And I'll email you the rest on that particular um one.

And then I had some questions on the Office of Professional Standards as well.

And in particular, it says towards the back, it talks about that there's a detailed report that's done, I think each year.

I think it's on page eight that says an annual statistical summary based on the records, and it what will be made available for review to interested persons.

Um is that something that's posted somewhere or is it just at the police department and it has to be requested?

I don't know that we I do know we do, so we do annual analysis of a number of use of force vehicle pursuits, uh this included our our our Office of Professional Standards investigations, and we do those reports for A-LEEP, the Arkansas Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, and then our CalEA certification program.

So we we have those reports.

I don't know why they wouldn't be available to anybody.

Okay.

Um, and then I have a few other questions that I'll go ahead and just work on emailing um just to save us some time and maybe can sit down with you separately.

Um but I'm gonna ask to pull these off consent just because I might have some additional questions that come from those follow-ups.

Um, but I'll I'll plan to send all the questions that I've got on these to your department.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Get them answered for you.

Okay.

Um moving on to um item B.

It's a pub.

This is a public hearing.

We haven't had one of these in a while.

And it is a private club application for Caldi Investments.

It's an ordinance to approve the application of Mohammed Caldi on behalf of Caldi Investments LLC for a permit to operate the Muse Lounge as a private club in the city of Fayetteville at seven East Mountain Street.

For those that haven't been here for one of these before, private club isn't as you know, interesting as it sounds.

It's just the you know, bars in Arkansas are all private clubs, and ordinance requires that they be approved by the council.

I know they've already worked with the police department, and I believe Deputy Chief Scott andor Keith can answer questions if you have them.

Kid, is that this a private uh public hearing that then goes to public comment?

Is that right?

I want to make sure I do the procedure.

Yeah, she would open it up almost like an ordinance where you'd read uh the title, I'd probably read the body of it, and then you open it up for the public.

That's the start of the public hearing.

At the end, that's the end of it, and then you all will get to vote.

Okay, great.

Well, I read it, so I just had a process question.

I noticed on the packet, like it had a long list of people's names, and I didn't remember that that's been with something in the past.

Is that common that it had a big long list of private club participant member names?

Generally, we get a report from the police department about whether we've had trouble and any problems from uh the people that are applying to have a private club, and they're the ones that really give us some advice about whether or not it makes sense to approve this or not.

And I guess they can list their members.

I don't know if they have to do that.

The founding member, I just had never seen that and didn't know if that was I know what you're talking about because I saw that.

It struck me as odd.

I've never seen that before either.

I don't think that's a requirement.

Um Deputy Chief, do you know of that being a requirement to list their members?

I'm I'm assuming they just wanted to go above and beyond and proactively sent that.

I don't want to speak on term, but I think there's a portion within the ABC that a certain percentage membership is which like Scott has 51% of it.

I see.

So I don't know if that's what you're referring to, but there they there's also listed the stakeholders in there because there's a certain percentage of an individual that's basically running that out instead of having 27 people and when ABC has a problem, they don't they want to know who to go to.

Do you have any um do you or the department have any um concerns about this application?

If it got this far.

Yeah, no.

Okay, all right, great.

Okay, do we have any members of the public that would like to comment on this item?

Uh the public hearing's gonna have to be at the city council meeting.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot that's not where we were.

I'm just having I'm having so much fun that I just did just yes.

Just wait.

Great.

So that's what we'll do there.

Umfinished business is the next part that we'll hear.

Item one is um the crossover road and East Dion Road um PZD.

Um that was left on the second reading at the March 5th meeting.

Um, Mr.

Berna, I believe you had asked for traffic information, which I know you received, and then John subsequently emailed out to all the council members.

Other than that, is there new information, Mr.

Kirth?

I don't I don't have any additional information.

The two exhibits that you saw the applicant pull up on the screen was also emailed out to you.

There's also a drop box link in that email in case you have access or issues accessing those those attachments.

Uh also uh I did hear the request.

Excuse me, I'm sorry, for some more visual exhibits about uh specifically the property's relationship with Hilton Creek and topography.

Uh we're working on those as well.

I hope to have those out before the end of the week uh so you can look at them before the meeting, and then I can pull them up during my presentation as well.

That's all I have unless there's questions.

Ms.

Turk.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, Jonathan, could you add or is it possible to add all that information that you sent out to us today to the packet so the public can see it uh ahead of time?

And uh I don't know if we've missed the deadline, so um that would be I think that would be really helpful for the public to have access to that.

Okay, I can coordinate with the clerk.

And and then also if if if again if we make it in time, the topography and the other um the other uh drainage issues kind of that I requested, I would appreciate that if possible.

Thank you.

Okay.

The next item of unfinished business is on Willow Avenue.

Um rezoning petition RZN 2025-71.

This was also left on the second reading at the March 5th meeting.

Mr.

Kirth, has there been any additional activity related to this?

Not specifically.

I if as a reminder to the council, the applicant had come forward with an alternative request.

The council reasonably asked to have exhibits in front of them before they made a decision about that.

I emailed those to you as well.

I have paper copies here.

I can give you tonight.

I don't know if you want them tonight or at the council meeting or both.

Uh, whatever works best for you all, if you would like to have that to take home, I can certainly hand that out if you not I'm seeing yeses.

So I'll pass those out real quick, Mayor.

Great.

Okay.

Thank you, Jonathan.

Thank you, Mr.

Witiger, for volunteering to help pass out.

Yes.

You don't get one.

Oh, okay.

I was being genuine.

Yes.

They didn't show up yet.

Okay.

And there if it helps preempt uh the the question or concern, these uh were also shared with the clerk's office as well, and I asked if this could be sent out with the the agenda that goes out Thursday.

Okay, great.

Thank you, Jonathan.

Um we have a third item of old business.

This one was only left on the first reading, though, and it's the property at Dead Horse Mountain and Gough Farm Road.

Um, rezoning to um urban neighborhood and no, I'm sorry, rezoning to I'm sorry, I'm just gonna read it.

South Deadhouse Mountain Road and East Gough Farm Road and Ward 1 rezoning from RA residential agricultural to UN urban neighborhood and NC neighborhood conservation.

Has there been any additional updates you'd like to share about this one, Jonathan?

I do not, Mayor.

Uh I was um working on coordin or getting information on the coordination with the Department of Transportation on what it looks like to have a traffic signal installed to the northeast of this development along Huntsville, uh, and I'll provide that for you at the council meeting.

Got it.

I don't think I missed any other requests for information, but please let me know if there's something.

And Minister Jones has questions.

Thank you.

And then Ms.

Turk.

Um Jonathan, I just had a question.

I know um during the planning meeting, you get a lot of public comment and you attach those into the packet.

Do you ever receive public comment outside of the meeting that you attach?

That's a good question.

If it is received before the planning commission meeting, staff strives to characterize those and include them in the packet.

Once they leave the planning commission meeting, uh, I do the same thing unless they come to your agenda item email, which goes directly to you all.

And because of that, I don't I don't try to characterize those since they come to you verbatim.

Thank you.

Ms.

Turk.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, you know, we received an email today from uh a citizen about um that lives in that neighborhood about water constraints, constrictions, and I don't recall us really uh discussing that last week.

So um if you all could kind of take a look at that, I would really appreciate it.

Um hopefully you got the email too.

If not, I can forward it to you.

Did I I've been away this afternoon for a bit.

Did it come in to the agenda item comment email?

Uh I believe so.

Okay, I'll look for that.

If I don't see it, I'll reach out.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Um final item of old business is an ordinance to rezone the property on Ash Street.

This was also left at the first reading.

And I don't think there was any information necessarily that we were waiting on though we did agree to leave it.

Mr.

Kurth.

I did send in it in that packet of uh items I sent out to the council, there was a request for the conceptual drawings for that ash trail uh that's being worked on internally by staff.

So that's in there as well.

I think you saw the applicant reference that in one of their drawings indicating where they may or may not be proposing to place a building.

So uh what was sent to you all is a conceptual design that effectively goes from old wire to the east to uh the potential Rami location on the west.

And that's the effectively one of the final segments of the midtown corridor to orient you.

Right?

Yeah, oh Ms.

Turk, I'm sorry.

Um thank you, Mayor.

Um, so Jonathan, thank you for sending that out.

Um when we meet next Tuesday, if you could just kind of blow up that area where they proposed or likely or requested um house might be placed.

Because I want to make sure I understand, and maybe I misunderstood last week about the three foot uh three feet off the um off the bike trail.

But if you could actually visually kind of show us that, I think that would at least be very helpful for me.

Okay, I can do that.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jonathan.

That brings us to new business.

D1 is a resolution to approve ADM 2026-1 and amend the Master Street plan by modifying the alignment of a planned neighborhood link connection between East 19th Street and East Pump Station Road in Ward 1.

So is that yours to present, Jonathan or it is mayor.

I can speak to it if that's helpful.

Yes, if you could give some more detail about that, that'd be great.

Certainly.

This item is coming to council with a recommendation of approval from staff, the planning commission, and the transportation committee.

Uh, what this is specifically is the proposal to realign a planned future street uh that is currently proposed on our master street plan to end on the west side uh where 19th Street dead ends, uh, just beyond the new beginnings development.

If you're familiar with that is in South Fayetteville, uh that's on the west end on the east end it's intended to connect to the intersection of Pump Station Road and where Morningside transitions into City Lake Roads, the same street, but just changes names at that intersection.

Uh there have been a several properties that have changed hands in that area recently, including property that has been sold from the university to a private developer.

Additionally, the council may recall there was a PZD approved in that area for a uh a mixed development of intent to have a culinary slash events slash hospitality venue.

Uh and as a part of evaluating that development request, the applicant expressed the desire to uh see the street realigned to more accurately accurately reflect the topography in the area and and potentially reduce the impact on their property.

Uh we evaluated the full length of it, which is about a half mile, so not just the impacts on that piece of property, uh, and ultimately came to a recommendation uh that we brought forward as staff to realign the street uh slightly northward, where currently today it runs due southeast from that dead end of 19th Street to a piece of existing right-of-way before jogging back northeast to that intersection.

Uh so the route we've chosen, we feel is more consistent with the topography in the area and may be more realistically realized in the future.

Uh the main reason we're not recommending it be removed as you've seen some requests in the past is this still represents or still this would only this would represent the only street connection, east-west street connection between 15th Street to the north and Willoughby to the south, which if you're not familiar with Willoughby, is that's on the that runs just north of the airport.

So it'd be a very extensive area in Fayetteville that uh would would lose the potential for connectivity into the future.

Uh we have received some public comment uh from uh some people on it.

Uh there were at least one or two residents that uh had a preference to see the connection removed completely, but acknowledge that the alignment serves uh their interest more than uh or the proposed alignment serves their interests better than where the current alignment is.

Uh and again, staff is recommending in favor of this.

The planning commission forwarded it to the transportation committee unanimously, which uh if you don't recall, it's codified that Master Street Plan amendments have to go through the Transitation Committee.

Uh and when the Transportation Committee heard it, it was forwarded unanimously to this body.

I can take any questions the council has.

So Jonathan, I'm kind of looking through the planning commission packet, and maybe I overlooked it.

Um if there's a topography topo map in there, that's awesome.

If not, if you could add one, I would appreciate it before next week.

I don't believe there is one, but I'll I'll uh I'll confirm and if not, I'll get that out.

Thank you.

Mr.

Staffin.

Yeah, Mayor, I I just uh have a question.

I I must have zoned out for a second.

Did we go over to zone four uh C4 Ash Street?

Um we did, yes.

No, but did you have questions for Jonathan about it?

I just completely uh must have been in a mental state for that brief second.

Um I I did get a request.

Uh the the applicants were wondering if the city council would want to do a street uh a site tour of that um property on the city.

On the ash street.

Um so the the council members would have a better uh idea of what's going on there and uh I'll leave it to my fellow council members if they want to do that.

I'm familiar with the site, but um okay, okay.

I just wanted to make sure I made the request.

Yeah.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Great.

Thank you.

Um did that get all of our questions answered regarding D1.

Okay.

Um D2 is an ordinance to rezone the property described in RZN 2026-1 for approximately 0.8 acres located at 3513 West Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard in Ward 1 from C1 neighborhood commercial to UT Urban Thoroughfare.

Jonathan.

Thank you, Mayor.

This request is coming to City Council with SAS recommendation of approval and the planning commissions as well.

This is in Southwest Fayeville on the south side of MLK, about equidistant between the Walmart and Lowe's to the east and RuPaul Road to the west.

It includes about uh 0.8 acres of land that's currently zone C1 neighborhood commercial, and the applicant is requesting to rezone it to UT Urban Thoroughfare.

Again, staff is recommending in favor, and it came to you forwarded by the planning commission unanimously.

And at this point, we have not heard any public comment on the item.

And I can take any questions that the council has I do not think that we have any.

Um D3 is amending city code, an ordinance to amend sections 33.290, 33.291, and 33.302.

Um, I'm yes, that's correct, sorry.

Of the Fayetteville City Code to transfer paving program approval authority from the city council to the city council transportation committee and to clarify the committee's role in the review of transportation division work plans.

Chris.

Thank you.

Uh you said exactly what these uh two proposals or two proposed changes are uh to do uh to transfer that responsibility for review of paving programs to the from the council to the transportation committee, and then also clarify the the committee's role in that.

Um and really the the reason behind this is the the paving plan is developed uh using uh a database system uh back in the good old days.

There were there were some uh things that happened, I think, on the on the paving plan um that that made the council want to have a uh higher level of uh purview over it.

Uh but the paving plan generally is is based on a um uh computer program that tells us what uh what work needs to be done, and uh so there's there's really um you know not a lot of of uh uh um human uh discussion about it.

It's really uh the the paving program is developed from that computer program.

Uh we also from time to time have changes that uh need to be made, uh uh uh water line break or some other damage to the street, so we need to uh change our paving plan.

So this allows us more flexibility.

Uh we did present this uh to the transportation committee um at the at the last committee meeting, and the committee recommended uh approval of these changes by a 3-0 vote.

Uh council member Minister Jones was uh was not there, had to leave early, but uh the other three members uh recommended approval and I can answer any questions.

Okay, great.

Moving on, thanks, Mr.

Stafford.

Uh moving on to our final item of new business, amending section 161.38 district CCR conservation, cultural and recreation.

It's an ordinance to amend 161.38, district CCR, conservation, cultural and recreation, to prohibit detention and retention ponds on CCR zoned property.

And I believe this is being brought forward by council member Turk.

Thank you, Mayor.

If you all recall, we had this conversation, I think about a month ago about what the intention of the CCR was.

And um at as I explained then, uh we never envisioned uh having uh a detention or retention pond on that on that zoning designation, and so this is uh an amendment to clarify that the prohibition of those um detention retention ponds.

And um, so I'm happy to answer any questions and we can discuss it further next Tuesday.

Do we have questions?

Okay, do we have any staff are there any zoning things that you want to weigh in on from a or anything we need to do?
