The Alexander City Council seems to be returning to short agendas. While this month's agenda has only five items listed, some will invoke lengthy discussions.
Under Old Business council members will return to the issue of approving a sewer connection for a proposed subdivision of 150 townhouse units. The issue was tabled at the February council meeting while Planning Commission Chairman Michael Huck was recounting a meeting the commission had with the development's engineer Michael Grobmyer. Council members decided they wanted Grobmyer to attend a council meeting and provide drawings.
The proposed subdivision, tentatively entitled "The Cottages at Meadow's Edge," will be built across from the entrance to Meadow's Edge along Highway 111. The city council must approve the subdivision connecting to the sewer line operated by the Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority (LRWRA). The LRWRA provides sewer service to North Alexander. The council must approve the connection before the LRWRA will consider allowing the connection.
Under New Business council members will decide whether to accept a scaled down version of a street paving bid provided by the Arkansas Department of Transportation. At last month's meeting a low bid of over $380,000 was received. Original estimates were in the $325,000 range. Under the state program $300,000 of the cost will be paid for by Arkansas while the remainder will be funded by Alexander.
Also on the agenda under New Business is bids to install a fire alarm system at city hall, hiring a City Attorney and repairing the fountain in the City Park.
The next meeting of the Alexander City Council is April 17 at 6:00 PM in the courtroom in the Alexander Municipal Complex. The public is invited to attend.
