body
PUBLIC HEARING - 5:30 p.m. - A public hearing was held to discuss the 1999 Community Development Block Grant Program. Mr. Jim McKinnon, Grant Coordinator for the City of Jonesboro, explained the amount for the 1999 grant has not been released by the federal government, but he estimated the grant to be the same as last year, $611,000.00. He explained the grant was to benefit low and moderate income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight, and to meet other community development needs. It was stated that the purpose of the meeting was to inform citizens of the funding level, to allow comments on specific projects, to report on the 1997 and 1998 program-year activities, and to obtain input into identifying and discussing community needs and priorities. Mr. McKinnon provided everyone in attendance a list of eligible and ineligible activities. Each activity was reviewed individually. He reviewed the CDBG expenditure budget for the 1997-1998 program years. The following projects were discussed:
(1) Washington Street Drainage (Phase 1) - a budget of $294,500.00. Mr. McKinnon reported that all easements had been completed, and City Attorney Phillip Crego had filed condemnation action on two structures.
(2) Sweetheart and Tulip Sewer Improvement - a budget of $94,150.00. It was explained an easement had finally been obtained after one year, and the engineer would have the plans and specs ready by December, 1998.
(3) Substandard Housing Demolition - a budget of $25,500.00. Mr. McKinnon reported the project was complete, after the demolition of 41 houses.
(4) Earl Bell Center Renovation - a budget of $100,325.00. Work on the roof, and for the heating and air-conditioning had been bid out, and the contractor estimated completion by the end of December, 1998.
(5) E. Boone Watson Renovation - a budget of $5,000.00. Mr. McKinnon reported the project had been completed
(6) Police Sub Station - Mobile Home/Radio - a budget of $10,000.00. Completed.
(7) Administrative - Completed.
(8) Washington Street Drainage (Phase 2) - a budget of $252,189.00. Mr. McKinnon reported of the six easements needed, three (3) had been obtained. He explained that of the three easements remaining, one was being litigated. He stated, hopefully both Phase 1 and Phase 2 could be bid out within a month of each other, depending on how quickly the plans and specs could be prepared by the city engineer.
(9) Mays Addition Sewer Improvement - a budget of $242,811.00. Mr. McKinnon explained the engineer is working to get the specs, but addition easements are needed. He estimated the project would be ready for consideration sometime in March or April of 1999.
(10) Substandard Housing Demolition - a budget of $10,000.00. Mr. McKinnon stated all but $50.00 had been used to demolish 11 houses.
(11) Two Police Mobile Homes and Radios - a budget of $20,000.00. He stated nothing had been done with the funds for this project, but would propose a revision of projects 10 and 11, later in the council meeting.
(12) Administration 98 - a budget of $86,000.00. Mr. McKinnon stated they had spent approximately $16,000.00 today.
Mr. McKinnon opened the floor for suggestions regarding the CDBG program for 1999. Councilman Tate recommended increasing the budget for Substandard Housing Demolition to the original amount of $25,000.00.
Mayor Brodell questioned if Phase 1 and Phase 2 would complete the Washington Street drainage project. Mr. McKinnon stated there are a total of four phases before the project is complete. Councilman Rega inquired about the cost of Phase 3. Mr. McKinnon responded by stating the estimate for Phase 3 (based on two years ago) was $395,000.00. Councilman Rega maintained once phase three is figured in at today’s cost it would consume a large part of the budget, and consideration would have to be given to the funds available. Councilman Crockett suggested dividing Phase 3 and Phase 4 making it more manageable.
Councilman Rorex requested that the Mays Addition Sewer Improvement project be continued. Mr. McKinnon reported the original estimate for this project was low and could cost an additional $70,000.00. Councilman Rorex questioned if there were problems with obtaining easements. Mr. McKinnon stated the engineer had just been hired and is in the process of looking at the perimeters to determine which route to take prior to getting easements. Mr. McKinnon reported the route would probably have to go under Lost Creek and tie into Patrick Road to the old Pratt Circle project. He explained it could become a lift station and that was also increasing the cost of the project. Mayor Brodell reported City Water & Light was considering larger sewer lines than originally planned and would cover the expense of gravity flow drainage rather than a lift station. He stated discussion regarding help with the project was being considered by City Water & Light. Mr. McKinnon stated he would report back to Council regarding any additional expenditures pertaining to this project.
Councilman Crockett questioned the estimate on Sweetheart & Tulip Sewer Improvement Project, and asked if additional funding should be considered. Mr. McKinnon responded there were approximately $15,000.00 unallocated in Administration which could be used in the Sweetheart & Tulip Project if needed.
Mayor Brodell asked Mr. McKinnon to explain the fund transfers being proposed in a resolution listed as number 5 on the agenda. Mr. McKinnon stated the resolution authorized the transfer of $69.56 from project 5, the E. Boone Watson Renovation; $2,500 from project 6, the Police Sub Station; and $7,400 from project 7, Administration for a total of $10,000 to be moved to project 10 for demolition of substandard housing. Mr. McKinnon also stated that the resolution amended project 11 from two police mobile homes/radios, to one mobile police station which would be moved as needed. He explained the budget amount for project 11 would not change.
Mr. McKinnon reminded Council that the recommendations would first go before the Citizens Advisory Committee, then to Council for approval. Mr. Dave Wimpy, Parks Director, suggested the following three projects: $1,300 for acquisition of installation of accessible water pipe in the Bell Center; $5,000 for protective padding installed on the lower six feet of gym wall in the Watson Center; and $100,000 for roof repair (or renovation) and replacement of the heating/cooling system at the Watson Center. Councilman Rorex asked about an acquisition of land on Race Street. Mr. McKinnon stated the Advisory Committee had decided against that land acquisition. Councilman Rorex asked if it could be reconsidered by the Advisory Committee. Mr. McKinnon stated it could be.
Councilman Tate recommended increasing funding for Crowley’s Ridge Development Center. Mayor Brodell stated the Arkansas State Legislative Audit requires that there be a written agreement when donating funds to an organization. Mr. McKinnon stated it would be considered by the Advisory Committee.
PUBLIC HEARING - 6:00 p.m. - A public hearing was held as requested by Mr. Berl Smith, Attorney for the vacating of unimproved street right-of-ways in Lazy Acres Subdivision. No opposition was voiced.
PUBLIC HEARING - 6:10 p.m. - A public hearing was held as requested by Mr. George Hamman for the vacating of an unimproved portion of Bee Cove and current recorded easements of Luke’s Run. No opposition was voiced.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - November 16, 1998
The Jonesboro City Council met Monday, November 16, 1998, at 6:30 p.m. A full quorum was in attendance. Present were: Mayor Hubert Brodell, City Clerk, Donna K. Jackson, City Attorney, Phillip Crego and 11 council members. Those members were: Kelton, Rorex, Province, Davis, Tate, Crockett, Rega, Pratt, Perrin, Bowers, and Roddy. Councilman Young was unable to attend.
Councilman Province moved, seconded by Councilman Perrin to approve the minutes as delivered. A voice vote was taken resulting in all members voting aye. Those members voting aye were: Kelton, Rorex, Province, Davis, Tate, Crockett, Rega, Pratt, Perrin, Bowers, and Roddy.
City Attorney, Phillip Crego provided Council with a written legal opinion regarding the calling of special meetings. Mr. Crego stated under the provisions of Jonesboro Municipal Code Ord., Section 2.20.02 there are two provisions governing the calling of special meetings. Mr. Crego explained the first provision, provides that the Mayor may call a special meeting whenever he deems it necessary, and provision two provides that three members of the council may call a special meeting by giving at least two days notice of the special meeting. City Attorney Crego suggested the Council may want to reconsider the ordinance to determine whether or not they want to put further requirements regarding a called meeting. Councilman Pratt stated the meeting was still illegal based on case notes found under Arkansas Statute 14-43-501. Councilman Pratt read the following, “The proceedings of a special meeting of a city council are legal if all the members had notice, whether all attended or not”. Councilman Pratt stated according to Mr. Crego’s opinion, the ordinance does not provide for any notification by the Mayor when calling a special meeting. City Attorney Crego agreed the provision does not provide for any notification by the Mayor, and stated that is why he recommended Council may want to review the ordinance. Mr. Crego stated however, he could envision a circumstance in which a meeting would need to be called with less than two days notice. Councilman Rega referred Council to the Freedom of Information Act which requires only two hours notice. Mr. Crego stated the notification requirement in the Freedom of Information Act was for a different purpose, other than notification to council members. However he stated it could be used as a time line for calling special meetings, or Council could choose to leave the ordinance as it stands.
The following ordinance was on the third and final reading:
ORDINANCE TO AMEND ORDINANCE NO. 954 KNOWN AS THE ZONING ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR CHANGES IN ZONING BOUNDARIES AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES (Jay Gunter / Scott Emerson)
Councilman Tate moved, seconded by Councilman Crockett for the adoption of the ordinance. Discussion followed. Mr. Scott Emerson, attorney for Mr. Gunter, provided pictures and a computerized plat of the area being considered for rezoning. He explained due to attendance problems by members of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, the required five votes were not obtained, so the rezoning was denied. However, he explained all members present at the MAPC meeting voted in favor of rezoning the property from residential to commercial (C-3). Mr. Emerson stated even though there is residential property and a subdivision located nearby, that should not take away from the fact that the property is located on a state highway and is not exclusively residential. Mr. Emerson stated the Land Use Plan adopted by the Jonesboro City Council refers to the area as commercial, so the best use of his client’s property would be commercial. He based this on other commercial properties being located to the north and south, as well as across from the property. He explained that Mr. Gunter wishes to move his existing business one block down from where he is presently located. Mr. Emerson explained this was not spot zoning and made reference to a legal case, (Smith Vs Little Rock) in which the Supreme Court upheld the council’s decision that property was commercial because commercial property was located across the street from the property in question. Councilman Kelton corrected Mr. Emerson, saying that the Land Use Plan did not reference the area as commercial but rather medium dense residential. Mr. Brian Wadley of the Inspections Department further stated the area was actually deemed to be low dense residential. Speaking in opposition to the rezoning was Linda Sanders, who lives on Maple Valley Drive. Ms. Sanders stated the computerized plats and pictures submitted by Attorney Emerson do not show the residential areas. She stated that an emergency was not necessary and commercial zoning would not be in the best interest of the community. Ms. Sanders explained that some of the commercial property was grandfathered in during annexation and some property has become commercial since then, but in either case a boundary had been maintained. She stated that originally Mr. Gunter was requesting that the whole twenty acres be zoned commercial, but amended his request to five acres. Ms. Sanders pointed out that if the five acres is zoned commercial it would set precedence for further commercial zoning, and she disagreed with Mr. Emerson’s definition of spot zoning. Second to speak in opposition was Mr. Paul Moore who resides at 5408 Maple Valley Drive. Mr. Moore stated the first structure to the north, south, east and west of the property in question is residential including his home located east of the property. Mr. Moore corrected Attorney Emerson stating that Mr. Gunter’s current business is approximately a mile away, not one block away as reported earlier. Mr. Moore stated they were interested in the orderly development of upscale residential housing because it would give visitors and commuters a better impression of Jonesboro. Mr. Moore reported that the person requesting the rezoning was not Mr. Gunter but rather Ms. Gwenn Hall who resides in Michigan. Mr. Moore stated the Council and the Mayor were elected to help the residence of Jonesboro, and requested they help the residence of his community in maintaining residential zoning. Councilman Tate questioned Mr. Moore regarding his property being immediately east of the property in question. Mr. Moore amended his original statement saying the first structure lying east of the property in question was a fire station not his residence. Next to address Council was Mrs. Virginia Moore, (Not related to Paul Moore) who lives at 5916 Southwest Drive. First Mrs. Moore corrected the statement that commercial zoning is directly across from the 40 acres in question. She explained that she lives across from the property in question and her twenty acres as well as the 40 acres are zoned agricultural. Mrs. Susan Glasco a resident of Valley View gave a brief history of Penn Fabrications. She explained that the building was originally residential and eventually became rented commercial. She stated that Mr. Paul Pickle donated the property now known as Valley View Fire Department because the area was not being provided fire protection from the City of Jonesboro. In conclusion, Ms. Glasco stated even though there is a church and fire department near the property in question, she did not feel these were commercial businesses. She requested the Council not to take her word or anyone else regarding the property, but rather care enough to view the area themselves. Mrs. Sharon Gunter was the last to address Council, speaking in favor of the rezoning issue. Mrs. Gunter stated they hoped to purchase the total amount of acreage so she could have a beauty shop and day care that would service the area. She explained that a friend was wanting to purchase ten acres to build a home in the area, and that she and her husband were planning to build a home there as well, if the commercial zoning was approved. Councilman Kelton requested a legal opinion from City Attorney, Phillip Crego regarding spot zoning. Mr. Crego agreed with Mr. Emerson that the Supreme Court in reviewing spot zoning would look at the character of the area. Councilman Perrin asked several questions regarding the zoning matter, and then moved to table the ordinance until December 7, 1998, allowing further research. Councilman Pratt seconded the motion. Councilman Tate and Councilman Crockett withdrew their previous motion to approve.

Councilman Perrin moved, seconded by Councilman Crockett for the adoption of a resolution documenting the review of the annual audit for the year ended December 31, 1997, and providing for appropriate action on audit findings and recommendations. Councilman Pratt questioned City Clerk, Donna Jackson regarding her attendance at the exit conference as stated in the audit. Mrs. Jackson stated she nor the Finance Director, Larry Flowers were informed of the exit conference. Mrs. Jackson explained that the auditor spoke with her the following business day, after the exit conference. She explained that Mr. Flowers was informed of the meeting, the day of the meeting, but she was absent that day and was not in attendance. In reference to the resolution, Councilman Pratt questioned what action is going to be taken regarding the finding that the deeds of the City of Jonesboro should be obtained and maintained by the City Clerk. Councilman Pratt stated this had been in the audit for the last three years and wanted to know what the problem was. Mayor Brodell stated it was only a recommendation not a formal complaint, and referred the matter to Mr. Flowers. Mr. Flowers agreed with Mayor Brodell that it was not an audit finding, only a recommendation. Mayor Brodell stated the Audit Committee has approved the budget. Councilman Bowers asked Mrs. Jackson if she was satisfied with the auditor’s findings. Mrs. Jackson responded by saying in the past, deeds had been filed in the Circuit Clerk’s Office rather than the City Clerk’s Office, and recommended that the Audit Committee adopt a procedure for handling property deeds. Mrs. Jackson explained the City Clerk’s Office cannot maintain deeds unless they are filed with her. Councilman Bowers questioned if Mrs. Jackson was making any progress in obtaining old property deeds. Mrs. Jackson explained it was her understanding that a volunteer was working with an abstract company in obtaining old property deeds, and she had spoken with him for the first time last Friday. Mayor Brodell stated the volunteer’s name was Mr. Ed Gill, President of the Post Corporation who was working on locating old deeds for the city. Councilman Pratt questioned what the process will be once the deeds have been located. Mayor Brodell stated they will be placed in a filing cabinet in City Hall with the rest of the deeds. Councilman Pratt questioned if the deeds would be under the jurisdiction of City Clerk, Donna Jackson. Mayor Brodell stated Mrs. Jackson has a right to them just like the Mayor does. Mayor Brodell stressed the fact that every deed is recorded at the court house to make sure that it is there whether it was dedicated, or purchased. Councilman Bowers stated his reason for asking was to make sure that Jonesboro property was receiving a proper insurance rating. Mayor Brodell stated there is no telling how much property the City of Jonesboro has had dedicated that would not have a deed. Councilman Pratt questioned if the city had a deed to the park property. Mayor Brodell stated he had the deeds to that property, the Allen property, the Parker property, and property dedicated by Mr. Jerry Craft. Councilman Pratt questioned when the process would begin in turning the deeds in his possession (and the past deeds) over to the City Clerk. Mayor Brodell responded by saying Mrs. Jackson could have the deeds at anytime, and he would tell his secretary to give them to her. Mayor Brodell stated he would be glad for the City Clerk’s Office to have the deeds, all she has to do is ask for them. Councilman Rorex stated the problem with property deeds existed many years prior to Mayor Brodell or City Clerk Jackson taking office. Councilman Pratt requested that the minutes reflect the audit incorrectly reports the attendance of members to the exit conference. Councilman Perrin called for the question. Councilman Kelton questioned Mr. Flowers and Mrs. Jackson if they would have attended the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee meeting in Little Rock, if they had been mandated to do so. Mr. Flowers responded by saying a written response was filed with the local legislative auditors which they forwarded to the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee along with the audit findings. Mr. Flowers stated unless there is a problem, public officials are not invited to attend, all though they are welcome to attend. Referring to Mrs. Jackson’s response written to the Legislative Auditors, and copied to the Jonesboro Audit Committee, Councilman Pratt stated Mrs. Jackson seemed concerned that she had not been included in the exit conference. Mrs. Jackson explained she put that in her response, so the auditors would know she had not been informed of the exit conference. Councilman Perrin clarified that Council was referring to two different meetings, the exit conference held locally and the State Joint Legislative Audit Committee held in Little Rock, Arkansas which is only a formality. Again Councilman Perrin called for the vote. A voice vote was taken resulting in all members voting aye. Those members were: Kelton, Rorex, Province, Davis, Tate, Crockett, Rega, Pratt, Perrin, Bowers, and Roddy. The resolution was assigned number 1998:76.
Councilman Rega moved, seconded by Councilman Roddy for the adoption of a traffic resolution placing the following traffic signs at the following locations:

Councilman Tate requested something be done about straightening the curve. Mayor Brodell stated he would look into it. A voice vote was taken resulting in all members voting aye. Those members were: Kelton, Rorex, Province, Davis, Tate, Crockett, Rega, Pratt, Perrin, Bowers, and Roddy. The resolution was assigned number 1998:77.
Mayor Brodell reported that Huntington Avenue Methodist Church had accepted Council’s offer to purchase their property located at 900 W. Monroe. Also, Mayor Brodell stated that each member had been provided a preliminary 1999 budget and asked they please review it. Mayor Brodell stated he would like to have it adopted at the first meeting in December.
Councilman Kelton reported on November 17, 1998, at 4:00 p.m. at City Hall the Land Development Code Committee will finalize the documents, and on Wednesday, November 18, 1998, in the Training Room at 4:00 p.m. they would meet with the Planning Commission which would be the first of several meetings since the document is so large. Mr. Kelton explained once this process is completed the Land Code would be provided the Council for them to review.
With no further business the meeting was adjourned.
