Section 1: In order to cooperate jointly in area planning and zoning under the provisions of Act 26 of the 1955 Assembly of the Sate of Arkansas with the County of Craighead and other public bodies in this county, there is hereby established in cooperation with the said County of Craighead the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission.
 
Section 2: The provisions for organization and the general powers, functions an duties of such commission shall be as set out in an "Agreement for Joint Planning Cooperation" between the City of Jonesboro and the County of Craighead, copies of which are on file with the City Clerk of the City of Jonesboro, which agreement is hereby approved and the Mayor and City Clerk authorized to execute such agreement on behalf of the City of Jonesboro.
 
Section 3: IT IS FOUND AND DECLARED by the City Council that the present and expected growth of the urban area of Jonesboro has created an immediate need for proper planning and zoning of the area outside the City Limits of Jonesboro but within the five-mile limitation of jurisdiction; without which planning and zoning, this area is developing haphazardly with resulting detriment to land values and future uses and, therefore, an emergency is declared to exist and this ordinance, being necessary for the preservation of public peace, health and safety, shall take effect from and after its passage and approval.
