The Alexander City Council is expected to have the third and final public reading and vote to approve two new city ordinances at the July 21 council meeting. Under Old Business are the “Ordinance establishing a dollar amount for a fixed asset” and an “Ordinance establishing the procurement process and dollar limitation for Mayor to spend.” Both received their first public reading at the May council meeting and their second in June.
There are four items under New Business. Items listed include one ordinance, one resolution and two discussion items.
The ordinance will transfer ownership of the former Alexander Human Development Center back to the city. It was temporarily deeded to the Central Arkansas Planning and Development District as part of the process to receive a Brown Field grant from the E.P.A. to cleanup and raze the old hospital building.
The resolution gives the mayor the authority to apply for a grant from the Arkansas Community Assistance Grant Program. The grant will be used, “[F]or improvements of Fire and Police Department buildings and emergency generator.”
Two residents are scheduled to speak under New Business. One is Patty Henn who will discuss “Autism Awareness.” The other is Scott Chaloner who will again discuss amending the city’s fireworks ordinance. An online survey was conducted by the mayor. Results will be available at Monday’s meeting.
The next meeting of the Alexander City Council is Monday, July 21, at 6:00 pm in the courtroom of the Alexander Municipal Complex (City Hall). Meetings are open to the public.
