BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF JONESBORO, ARKANSAS THAT:
SECTION 1: A permit process for temporary street and lane closures is hereby established.
SECTION 2. The attached Temporary Street and Lane Closure Regulations are hereby adopted and shall become part of the Jonesboro Municipal Code in Chapter 58, Article V.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 5th day of September, 2017.
