Ordinance concerning Human Development Center on Alexander agenda

An ordinance to acquire the Arkansas Human Development Center, “Property, Deed transfer and lease agreement,” is on the City of Alexander’s agenda for Monday night’s meeting. The property is located along Highway 111/South Alexander Road and has been abandoned for several years. The state is transferring the property to the city. The transfer includes the city acquiring the lease between the state and Pathfinders, Inc, which is located on the south end of the property.

Rick Ferguson and Joe White are listed on the agenda as guest speakers. Ferguson and White are involved with the Meadow’s Edge subdivision project along Highway 111/South Alexander Road. While the agenda does not specify why they have asked to speak to council members, Ferguson last spoke at the October meeting to get preliminary approval to rezone the area across the highway from Meadow’s Edge from Agriculture to Commercial and Multi-Family Housing. The council agreed but at the time of the meeting development drawings weren’t available.

Another item on the agenda is providing employees access to Delta Dental-Vision plans. “Discuss Hummer,” is also on the agenda.

The next regular meeting of the Alexander City Council is Monday, February 26. Meetings start at 6 PM and are held in the courtroom at the City of Alexander City Hall on Highway 111, across from the post office. The public is invited to attend.
