serve both through their direct service
and by managing millions of additional

budget that is before Congress right now
that the president submitted proposes to

66

a program that was started in one nine
hundred seventy four by President Richard

68
00:05:44,07 --> 00:05:49,17
Nixon by the way and I would urge people

I will get it into the format and change

199
00:15:40,73 --> 00:15:46,07
it that way but I want to tell you
before you voted OK very good.

200
00:15:48,22 --> 00:15:51,54
Director Richardson you're recognized

responsive Bittern as

203

a couple purchases than his professional
services in one I think for actual.

204
00:16:06,74 --> 00:16:10,07
Infrastructure work and it's not
clear so no they don't well have

205
00:16:10,08 --> 00:16:13,82
a clear definition to understand that
they're not our appease over you loud and

206
00:16:13,83 --> 00:16:20,60
sole source agreements are of
key use your virtues and. The

207
00:16:20,64 --> 00:16:23,20
main way to differentiate if it's

208
00:16:23,21 --> 00:16:28,50
a sole source it will always be an ordinance.
So all these are resolutions which

209
00:16:28,51 --> 00:16:33,83
means they went through the proper. Bidding
procedure so are those we don't have

210
00:16:33,84 --> 00:16:36,85
a clear understanding description
that that it was our B.

211
00:16:36,86 --> 00:16:42,42
We can assume those are key or you can
you give me example of which one you're

another. Contract to the construction

225
00:17:56,53 --> 00:18:02,11
first of the last it's Friday I
didn't get anything. I think he put

on the M five resolution please dealing
with the cultural diversity incompetency

229
00:18:18,10 --> 00:18:20,79
training programs and when
he finishes I have one more.

230
00:18:24,79 --> 00:18:30,86
Members of board. We had been. Doing.

231
00:18:32,36 --> 00:18:38,97
Cultural and diversity training.
With recruit school and with our

232
00:18:39,20 --> 00:18:45,94
police officers. But.
During Thomas' tenure as

233
00:18:45,95 --> 00:18:51,57
we began to talk about some of the
issues that we saw that were.

234
00:18:53,05 --> 00:18:59,95
Coming up in the police department with
our officers. I realize that. They

235
00:18:59,96 --> 00:19:06,91
didn't have anything to do with them getting
not getting proper training but I felt

236
00:19:06,92 --> 00:19:12,78
it was important to have. Someone outside
of the police department conducting this

237
00:19:12,79 --> 00:19:15,79
training so we put out an R.F.P.

238
00:19:16,01 --> 00:19:21,10
Well actually we got a proposal
an excellent proposal from

239
00:19:21,11 --> 00:19:28,01
a professor you are. To do this and we
were ready to move forward with it and

240
00:19:28,02 --> 00:19:32,25
Mr Carpenter and his office
felt like in order to do

241
00:19:32,26 --> 00:19:37,04
a sole source you're basically saying you
know this is the only entity in tandem

242
00:19:37,05 --> 00:19:41,94
that can do this and obviously that
wasn't a case so we had to go through

243
00:19:41,95 --> 00:19:48,56
a request for proposal process the original
one we receive six back in two thousand

244
00:19:48,57 --> 00:19:55,42
and fourteen the committee met read a
proposal then selected J.C.A. So J.C.A.

245
00:19:55,43 --> 00:20:02,28
Had been conducting this type of training
since two thousand and fourteen. Earlier

246
00:20:02,29 --> 00:20:04,10
this year we put out

247
00:20:04,11 --> 00:20:09,97
a nother bid for this training
and things have changed

248
00:20:09,98 --> 00:20:16,14
a lot of things have changed thousand and
fourteen as far as what our offices are

249
00:20:16,15 --> 00:20:17,12
dealing with on

250
00:20:17,13 --> 00:20:23,52
a daily basis so we included allow the
cultural competency competencies the

251
00:20:23,53 --> 00:20:30,51
escalation type of training in
this particular bid. And we

252
00:20:30,52 --> 00:20:37,32
got multiple. Bitters and this
company was selected. Can you

253
00:20:37,33 --> 00:20:40,66
elaborate on how many hours of this type
of training our officers are going to

254
00:20:40,67 --> 00:20:44,70
receive the Massey Bucknor to. Come up in.

255
00:20:49,38 --> 00:20:55,42
Mexico vice mayor away and
directors Mr Carpenter Mr Moore.

256
00:20:56,98 --> 00:21:03,68
The hours roughly will be two
hours block of instruction for

257
00:21:04,11 --> 00:21:09,59
our in-service which is the officers there's
also the command in service that we do

258
00:21:09,60 --> 00:21:15,18
for full staff and then there's also coats
all for service and they recruit classes

259
00:21:15,52 --> 00:21:20,13
Alice for non sworn folks who all
already with the agency will be

260
00:21:20,14 --> 00:21:25,15
a two hour block and then the block of
instruction for our recruits coming on will

261
00:21:25,16 --> 00:21:32,15
be six to eight hours that they were
received. In the first group you mentioned

262
00:21:32,16 --> 00:21:38,60
was two hours for which group I may
have confused you but it were Kreutz

263
00:21:39,13 --> 00:21:41,77
receive six to eight hours
everyone else will receive

264
00:21:41,78 --> 00:21:45,31
a two hour block and one two hour block to

265
00:21:45,32 --> 00:21:50,09
a yes one to hour block and all that's
adequate to deal with those various

266
00:21:50,10 --> 00:21:54,11
different kinds of scenarios I don't know
what that what that number would be I

267
00:21:54,12 --> 00:22:00,73
could tell you that the state requires
that the that we receive one hour for

268
00:22:01,58 --> 00:22:07,43
officers and two hours for two hours for
recruits and we exceed in both instances

269
00:22:07,56 --> 00:22:11,35
weeks see what the state were quite
many is because it's also a part of the

270
00:22:11,56 --> 00:22:16,16
a CLIA requirement for the state accreditation
you understand we do our own academy

271
00:22:16,52 --> 00:22:19,25
so we've exceeded that but that's that's

272
00:22:19,26 --> 00:22:24,94
a common question that we get. Mehr the two
hours is an annual thing for and serve

273
00:22:24,95 --> 00:22:30,34
instead all officers go through they
take a week off of the street and do

274
00:22:30,35 --> 00:22:36,19
a forty eight hours worth of classes so
this is two forty hours that they get that

275
00:22:36,20 --> 00:22:39,62
includes everything from recent
developments in the law to how far

276
00:22:39,63 --> 00:22:44,20
a weapon Well you know I was staying with
forty hours is that you know what the

277
00:22:44,55 --> 00:22:51,17
obviously the in the increased. Review of

278
00:22:51,56 --> 00:22:56,14
what our police officers are. Having to do
and the pressures that they're put under

279
00:22:56,15 --> 00:23:02,07
the I think the questions about the
escalation cultural competency some of those

280
00:23:02,08 --> 00:23:07,48
things the question has really been you
know are they getting enough training in

281
00:23:07,49 --> 00:23:12,36
the areas and I would hope that you will
monitor that closely to make sure that is

282
00:23:12,40 --> 00:23:17,72
that if it is not that we increase the hours
of training I mean I think it probably

283
00:23:17,73 --> 00:23:21,17
does everybody good to get
that refresher and once

284
00:23:21,18 --> 00:23:27,02
a year maybe maybe more frequently even I
would suspect sometimes would be helpful

285
00:23:27,53 --> 00:23:28,26
Well there are

286
00:23:28,27 --> 00:23:31,72
a couple of things and I agree with you
one thousand percent in that we should

287
00:23:31,73 --> 00:23:36,59
always be continually assessing where we
are what the needs are what are can best

288
00:23:36,60 --> 00:23:39,78
practices as you know
were stated we have state

289
00:23:39,79 --> 00:23:42,96
a created and also Kaliya
credit which is which is in

290
00:23:42,97 --> 00:23:47,86
a national of the state requires us to do
sixteen hours of annual training we do

291
00:23:47,87 --> 00:23:50,20
forty that with the requirement to become

292
00:23:50,21 --> 00:23:53,64
a police officer in the state of Arkansas
the state gives you about four hundred

293
00:23:53,65 --> 00:24:00,35
hours we do about nine hundred hours so
we're far exceed what the state requires we

294
00:24:00,39 --> 00:24:03,98
well within the realm of what.
Requires because there are

295
00:24:03,99 --> 00:24:05,94
a lot of challenges in
Little Rock that maybe

296
00:24:06,64 --> 00:24:10,88
a city that has two thousand people could
get away with sixteen hours of training

297
00:24:10,96 --> 00:24:15,35
we don't feel it is adequate for all the
challenges that we face but we continually

298
00:24:15,55 --> 00:24:19,86
monitor that we always want to make sure
that we're hiring the right people that

299
00:24:19,87 --> 00:24:23,87
we're training them in there in the right
way but I think the set up that we have

300
00:24:23,88 --> 00:24:29,44
here is adequate considering
what we're facing. OK.

301
00:24:31,21 --> 00:24:37,14
Dr Richardson you're next on this list you
have questions yes thanks Bruce thanks

302
00:24:37,15 --> 00:24:43,00
me as she does more for Bruce revenue and
Bruce My question is do we not have that

303
00:24:43,01 --> 00:24:45,60
capacity internally with our C.D.C.

304
00:24:45,88 --> 00:24:49,42
Or is it is it that they're not set up to
do that kind of work they don't have to

305
00:24:49,43 --> 00:24:53,13
kind of function as part of what they set
up designed to do well originally that

306
00:24:53,14 --> 00:25:00,06
was my intent. To have them do
it and I believe they conducted.

307
00:25:01,73 --> 00:25:08,43
Training and then said that they just
didn't have the capacity based on

308
00:25:08,54 --> 00:25:14,40
everything that they were working on and
doing but they have participated with the

309
00:25:14,41 --> 00:25:18,37
recruits in the past but that's
when we decided to go out with

310
00:25:18,38 --> 00:25:23,64
a request for proposal because they felt
they didn't have the capacity to conduct

311
00:25:23,65 --> 00:25:27,98
the training and that came from them great
OK one seems to me like we should be to

312
00:25:27,99 --> 00:25:30,50
do it internally but they
don't have a capacity as

313
00:25:30,51 --> 00:25:32,95
a way for us to say fifty eight thousand
dollars but if they don't have the

314
00:25:32,96 --> 00:25:34,38
capacity don't have capacity.

315
00:25:40,78 --> 00:25:46,35
Or say Thank you Chief our thanks
to. Director Hendricks do you have.

316
00:25:49,54 --> 00:25:54,46
A. Go ahead please thank you
I want to finish that think.

317
00:25:56,77 --> 00:26:01,48
I want to ask Mr Miller Do we still have
sex offenders that dissipate in the

318
00:26:01,49 --> 00:26:06,13
program that have to deal with
locks we do so is will this be

319
00:26:06,14 --> 00:26:10,97
a part of that this is the government I
mean we've got and you all know I mean you

320
00:26:10,98 --> 00:26:17,47
know we got so many requests to me
we're just now dealing with. Twenty

321
00:26:19,19 --> 00:26:24,40
two thousand and twelve requests so this
isn't it and we have some sad what money

322
00:26:25,25 --> 00:26:30,85
through that three eight so this is an
attempt to. To get more these requests done

323
00:26:31,10 --> 00:26:36,08
and if I could go back to one of the questions
about the training I think it's you

324
00:26:36,09 --> 00:26:37,59
know we talk about the escalation

325
00:26:37,60 --> 00:26:42,60
a lot. And you get that throughout
your forty hours that's in

326
00:26:42,61 --> 00:26:47,08
a lot of different blocks that's just not
in that two hour block that we're talking

327
00:26:47,09 --> 00:26:53,52
about the diversity. We fail to mention
that you get that throughout including the

328
00:26:53,53 --> 00:26:59,26
recruits that that's something that
is talked throughout the forty hour

329
00:26:59,27 --> 00:27:04,69
requirements for our current officers and
then the number of hours are that are

330
00:27:04,70 --> 00:27:09,87
recruits have thinking OK.

331
00:27:17,19 --> 00:27:24,13
I'm sorry. Please director

332
00:27:24,14 --> 00:27:28,71
RICHARDSON Yes Thank you members one of the
question. Two of the questions actually

333
00:27:28,72 --> 00:27:32,83
reentry program psywar program
always to six at a time to have

334
00:27:32,84 --> 00:27:34,56
a number on it and to have

335
00:27:34,57 --> 00:27:40,10
a cumulative total that we've done over
time since we instituted that number of

336
00:27:40,53 --> 00:27:47,47
case of employees you know we average ten
to twelve in addition to the right of way

337
00:27:47,47 --> 00:27:54,16
. Team that we started and we
have eight. On the right of way

338
00:27:56,89 --> 00:28:02,44
eighteen and so now we have we we keep
least on the sidewalk about ten to twelve

339
00:28:02,45 --> 00:28:08,43
and then on the right of way Moe ing that
we started and those are reentry they're

340
00:28:08,44 --> 00:28:08,71
about

341
00:28:08,72 --> 00:28:16,39
a They're all sort of become actual
employees of the city you know. This

342
00:28:16,40 --> 00:28:23,28
is very interesting because the go the
program if you remember right was to

343
00:28:23,29 --> 00:28:23,66
teach

344
00:28:23,67 --> 00:28:30,51
a skill. And then they would go out we

345
00:28:30,76 --> 00:28:35,19
would resume writing we had classes and
everything and they would go out and find

346
00:28:35,20 --> 00:28:39,58
private sector jobs and you look at the
unemployment rate in Little Rock is very

347
00:28:39,59 --> 00:28:46,58
low so there's opportunities but what we
have found is they feel like the city is

348
00:28:46,59 --> 00:28:52,64
a great place to work and
they're not moving. So

349
00:28:53,41 --> 00:28:55,99
then it takes them while
they then they're in

350
00:28:56,00 --> 00:29:01,75
a rotation with their other colleagues in
public works because. You have to work

351
00:29:01,76 --> 00:29:01,89
there

352
00:29:01,90 --> 00:29:07,94
a certain number of years that we've talked
about before you become full time. And

353
00:29:07,95 --> 00:29:11,89
but you know I don't move those folks ahead
of the other group they just sort of

354
00:29:11,90 --> 00:29:14,60
get in line and so we have

355
00:29:14,61 --> 00:29:21,55
a lot of that. Do still work
for us some have left and

356
00:29:21,56 --> 00:29:28,25
come back. So I could provide
your report about the

357
00:29:28,26 --> 00:29:34,32
numbers appreciate that and one of the
issue on the first retraining seems to me

358
00:29:34,33 --> 00:29:38,41
like I heard you make reference to this
training only happening to the recruits is

359
00:29:38,42 --> 00:29:41,45
there any kind of own goal in training
once these people who are in on the force

360
00:29:41,49 --> 00:29:47,24
you know that. If I said that now this
chief mentioned each officer Tom mention

361
00:29:47,25 --> 00:29:54,15
each officer has forty hours annual mandatory
training and they get this training

362
00:29:54,16 --> 00:30:00,03
also just annually and their limit in terms
he or Bruce in Limon in terms of how

363
00:30:00,04 --> 00:30:04,29
many years do we feel like they complete
disarray and it was this ongoing process

364
00:30:04,36 --> 00:30:11,09
every year OK thank you OK

365
00:30:11,33 --> 00:30:16,76
I have one card that wishes to
speak on issues of Mr Tolle or.

366
00:30:27,68 --> 00:30:34,64
Good evening Mayor stolen directors
suddenly my director directed him drinks

367
00:30:35,04 --> 00:30:40,23
who we all there proud of in Ward one we
absolutely adore my question is brief

368
00:30:41,20 --> 00:30:46,74
global purse global perspectives consultant
can anyone tell me anything about that

369
00:30:46,75 --> 00:30:49,96
company Mr Moore.

370
00:30:56,36 --> 00:31:00,99
I'm interested because it appears
that they are not Arkansas based.

371
00:31:08,64 --> 00:31:14,07
I mean Mr Moore. My global perspective is

372
00:31:14,56 --> 00:31:20,44
a company called Diversity incompetency
company out of Colorado Springs Colorado

373
00:31:21,26 --> 00:31:22,08
well that microphone

374
00:31:22,09 --> 00:31:28,78
a bit more closely to out of Colorado
Springs caliber Colorado. It is

375
00:31:28,79 --> 00:31:35,37
staffed by. Numerous professors also

376
00:31:35,41 --> 00:31:42,28
a. Retired. Chief of Police out of

377
00:31:42,29 --> 00:31:48,93
Colorado Springs that's OK. Well
the concern is this you know

378
00:31:49,47 --> 00:31:49,63
in

379
00:31:49,64 --> 00:31:57,21
a brief look at the company's website the
concern for me is that their staff. Itself

380
00:31:57,22 --> 00:32:03,15
does not appear diverse and that these
people are conducting this diverse training

381
00:32:03,16 --> 00:32:08,18
and so I'm wondering if anyone else other
than myself is concerned about that.

382
00:32:15,84 --> 00:32:19,38
And did I mean we don't
generally engage in

383
00:32:19,39 --> 00:32:23,79
a dialogue back and forth but I'll ask if
anyone wants to respond or enter enters

384
00:32:24,18 --> 00:32:28,49
I'm going to add that you're here you're
asking those of us who know about proof

385
00:32:28,87 --> 00:32:31,69
but I guess I won't be up with so if
you're about to approve the bill the first

386
00:32:31,70 --> 00:32:37,75
thing I would suggest you look at is companies
within the state number one who are

387
00:32:37,76 --> 00:32:41,93
capable and who provided this training
before and then number two if you're going

388
00:32:41,94 --> 00:32:46,62
to go outside of the state you certainly
should be paid attention to companies that

389
00:32:46,66 --> 00:32:52,93
are diverse themselves if they are conducting
diverse training and that's really it

390
00:32:52,93 --> 00:32:59,92
. I agree with him we said it what you
may mean I know you know you know that

391
00:32:59,93 --> 00:33:04,94
my Miss Vincent all over right thank
you stamped into the My Yes ma'am.

392
00:33:06,92 --> 00:33:11,71
Can you think I think I want you
to hold it up I'm not then I'm

393
00:33:11,72 --> 00:33:16,54
a fan of you talking to a
Young Man Yes ma'am I'm in

394
00:33:16,55 --> 00:33:20,83
a bit more about what do you think we
should you know well I think we certainly

395
00:33:20,84 --> 00:33:23,35
should look at companies
in Arkansas that have

396
00:33:23,43 --> 00:33:28,41
a history of doing this sort of training
first and foremost and then second if

397
00:33:28,42 --> 00:33:34,50
we're going outside of the company we
certainly should be going to. Companies that

398
00:33:34,51 --> 00:33:39,26
we couldn't necessarily get in the state
and suddenly we should look at the team

399
00:33:39,27 --> 00:33:43,72
members of the company before we're talking
about awarding an outside contract

400
00:33:43,73 --> 00:33:48,66
because there are people in Arkansas that
can do the same work. Mr Miller what do

401
00:33:48,67 --> 00:33:49,12
you say to.

402
00:33:55,93 --> 00:33:58,47
You know. We have a I think

403
00:33:58,48 --> 00:34:04,01
a very strong procurement process. And.

404
00:34:05,79 --> 00:34:11,75
You know as much about this company and
this young man as TOTUS I mean I didn't I

405
00:34:11,76 --> 00:34:14,44
don't sit on the review committee there's

406
00:34:14,45 --> 00:34:20,97
a diverse committee. City staff members
ever viewed all of the proposals.

407
00:34:23,40 --> 00:34:29,67
We understand what we. Are
looking for as far as we put out

408
00:34:29,68 --> 00:34:35,62
a requirement this is here's what you
have to provide We don't say. One is not

409
00:34:35,70 --> 00:34:42,18
limited to Arkansas these are not companies
were allowed to be it obviously and in

410
00:34:42,39 --> 00:34:43,62
twenty fourteen we've had

411
00:34:43,63 --> 00:34:49,07
a little rock based company doing this
we're MISMO not respond to you by saying

412
00:34:49,88 --> 00:34:52,31
a lot of us. There's

413
00:34:52,32 --> 00:34:56,67
a vote we don't know anything about these
people maybe that maybe something timely

414
00:34:56,68 --> 00:35:03,68
you found about. You know I was frowning
but director hundreds of thing that

415
00:35:03,69 --> 00:35:07,37
strikes me is this city has taken

416
00:35:07,38 --> 00:35:12,43
a fairly bald stand saying we're not going
to discriminate in the award of any

417
00:35:12,44 --> 00:35:19,25
contracts number of factors one of
which is race and so but I think

418
00:35:19,26 --> 00:35:25,46
you seem to experience it these people
have well and that's why that's why you

419
00:35:25,47 --> 00:35:26,62
don't do

420
00:35:26,79 --> 00:35:33,09
a position like this on the low price you
do this based on qualifications and the

421
00:35:33,10 --> 00:35:38,18
manager make sure that the committees that
are selected know what they're looking

422
00:35:38,19 --> 00:35:42,50
for and know what they
need and then they make

423
00:35:42,51 --> 00:35:48,94
a recommendation what I'm going to suggest
to you young man is that if you. Saw to

424
00:35:48,95 --> 00:35:55,30
be. Sort of like and. Let us know before
we vote because he voted for this Had

425
00:35:55,31 --> 00:35:58,78
think so since you and I consider it

426
00:35:58,79 --> 00:36:03,43
a money all they have backing it yes well
to raise questions up here to some of

427
00:36:03,44 --> 00:36:10,43
these people OK Yes thank you.
Director right you recognized please.

428
00:36:11,92 --> 00:36:16,75
Well my question was going to be
for the manager about the R.F.Q.

429
00:36:16,76 --> 00:36:23,29
That went out about this and how many
responses that we received and did we have

430
00:36:23,30 --> 00:36:26,29
a review committee he's responded
and said Yes we did have

431
00:36:26,30 --> 00:36:31,07
a review committee I don't
know how many applicants.

432
00:36:38,23 --> 00:36:41,98
Were total of six companies that put

433
00:36:41,99 --> 00:36:48,47
a bid in the final assessment was done
of two that actually qualified for the

434
00:36:48,69 --> 00:36:54,10
eighty percent requirement in order to to
be vetted to be full consideration. OK.

435
00:36:55,54 --> 00:37:02,41
And that committee the committee. That
selected those individuals was made

436
00:37:02,42 --> 00:37:09,36
up of. One black female one black
male three white females. OK Thank

437
00:37:09,37 --> 00:37:15,60
you. Director Richardson you're right
nice place yes ma'am stay honest

438
00:37:16,20 --> 00:37:22,75
blue stuff for you but Bruce
back to. Not making any

439
00:37:22,76 --> 00:37:27,92
judgment on disparaging it's very you know
remarks about this essential better I

440
00:37:27,93 --> 00:37:32,20
want to go back to the process when he's
our accuser ridden they come from towns

441
00:37:32,21 --> 00:37:36,95
office their right who writes our cues and
what kind of information is put in and

442
00:37:36,96 --> 00:37:40,71
then also was advertised in process of
mass handed over by to apply was kind of

443
00:37:40,72 --> 00:37:44,42
advertising process that we utilize to
get the word out and the information out

444
00:37:44,43 --> 00:37:49,95
that these kinds of services supports
needed no vailable. Well the first thing we

445
00:37:49,96 --> 00:37:53,82
do is you know if it's a little
rock based company that has

446
00:37:53,83 --> 00:37:57,29
a that it deals with this
type of work they get

447
00:37:57,30 --> 00:38:04,17
a notice to let them know that we are
advertising this type of service we

448
00:38:04,18 --> 00:38:11,15
offer all of our bids are
in. And then some are in

449
00:38:11,16 --> 00:38:16,56
the newspaper back and I don't know if
this was in particular in these paper. And

450
00:38:16,57 --> 00:38:22,57
then the process is the department and
whether it's in this case the police

451
00:38:22,58 --> 00:38:28,64
department or public works or community
programs they sit down and talk about what

452
00:38:28,65 --> 00:38:32,85
are the needs we have a new
project purchasing manager

453
00:38:32,86 --> 00:38:39,05
a new purchasing procedure in place. And
so there are certain questions that are

454
00:38:39,63 --> 00:38:45,69
included to ensure that they have
experience in this area so it's.

455
00:38:46,95 --> 00:38:51,91
Put together mainly through the department
and through the purchasing department

456
00:38:52,12 --> 00:38:56,71
and then the purchasing department handles
the bidding procedure and they accept

457
00:38:56,72 --> 00:39:02,69
the bids thank you so not any more you
know when you're playing your office.

458
00:39:03,47 --> 00:39:04,66
Has final say so

459
00:39:04,67 --> 00:39:09,47
a looks at all look at all in terms of
content the process I'll just stay within

460
00:39:09,52 --> 00:39:10,28
the department is

461
00:39:10,29 --> 00:39:17,17
a shoe for it's well it depends
on what we're for curing. In

462
00:39:17,18 --> 00:39:19,83
this case the chief and I talked

463
00:39:19,84 --> 00:39:25,17
a lot about what was important as far as
what we were looking for with you again

464
00:39:25,80 --> 00:39:29,99
about how the world has changed so much
since we first started doing this since two

465
00:39:30,00 --> 00:39:33,77
thousand and fourteen so there are things
that we have learned through the twenty

466
00:39:33,78 --> 00:39:39,11
first President Obama's twenty first
century policing that we ensure they were

467
00:39:39,12 --> 00:39:45,89
included as far as training automatic
disqualifiers that the chief is looking at

468
00:39:45,90 --> 00:39:51,73
so we're constantly researching looking
for best practices so I think we put out

469
00:39:51,74 --> 00:39:55,83
a good product as far as what we
were requesting and I think we got

470
00:39:55,84 --> 00:40:02,08
a very valid bid Yeah I'm not I'm sure we
do and I think that this company would

471
00:40:02,09 --> 00:40:07,33
have done the research. And think there
will qualified to do and it went to the

472
00:40:07,34 --> 00:40:12,68
process but going back to them Well the
question you may want statement that those

473
00:40:12,69 --> 00:40:15,95
that we know and I'm assuming that
we're not all know and there's

474
00:40:15,96 --> 00:40:19,89
a lot and you see the entities out there
that we don't know what those are we

475
00:40:19,90 --> 00:40:24,71
utilize just to print advertising in those
paper only on the nail kind of medicine

476
00:40:24,72 --> 00:40:31,18
you know what I said Remember in order
to give Little Rock in these sort of at

477
00:40:31,19 --> 00:40:34,16
least a heads up if you if you got

478
00:40:34,17 --> 00:40:38,75
a privilege license that talks about you
do this type of training are these you

479
00:40:38,76 --> 00:40:41,04
have this type of service
you get an hour you get

480
00:40:41,05 --> 00:40:48,05
a email from our Treasury Department
by the way the city is advertising for

481
00:40:48,06 --> 00:40:51,44
this service now it didn't mean they're
going to bid on it but at least

482
00:40:51,45 --> 00:40:56,48
a little rock companies are aware of it so
what methods do we utilize for companies

483
00:40:56,49 --> 00:41:01,72
that are not Little Rock based meaning the
Arkansas base mainly online I mean these

484
00:41:01,73 --> 00:41:06,55
type of companies low. At this work
throughout the country and over time as have

485
00:41:06,56 --> 00:41:10,72
been some sort of evaluation to see if
this is the most effective way to get the

486
00:41:11,48 --> 00:41:16,20
quality and number of applicants that
we want to have parties process we very

487
00:41:16,21 --> 00:41:22,87
seldom only have one bitter
when we go out so I think that

488
00:41:22,91 --> 00:41:25,44
says to a lot of ways we're doing

489
00:41:25,45 --> 00:41:31,11
a good job of. Getting the word
out and again most cities.

490
00:41:33,47 --> 00:41:39,99
Have been doing. Just as part of our
legislative package it just got an act passed

491

00:42:04,01 --> 00:42:08,49
a look at what their qualifications are
what kind of capacity had to do this but is

496
00:42:08,50 --> 00:42:13,40
there any consideration any review given

Webb just add to what Director Ed Cox and
it looks like three of the principals

either have Ph D.'s or writing their
dissertation in this field and as we said

506
00:43:03,88 --> 00:43:04,17
there's been

507
00:43:04,18 --> 00:43:11,72
a lot of changes in the last few years
on this incredibly impressive. Group

508
00:43:11,73 --> 00:43:18,64
of people director Hendricks
since the volcanic ruining

509
00:43:18,88 --> 00:43:23,10
my last comment about the comment that
the young man me I think we need to be

510
00:43:23,11 --> 00:43:28,80
cognizant when people come and tell us
because Mr Moore would use supplied whatever

511
00:43:28,81 --> 00:43:34,75

for this list that we're talking about on

512
00:43:34,76 --> 00:43:41,69
this. You would you happy with their
proposal read their resume everything and we

513
00:43:41,70 --> 00:43:45,30
need to at some point and now that we're
going to have to really look at some of

514
00:43:45,31 --> 00:43:48,43
these people cause I have question the
ten years I've been on this board

515
00:43:48,90 --> 00:43:54,87
a lot of these people I would
not have time. OK Thank you.

516
00:43:56,03 --> 00:43:58,51

523
00:44:49,87 --> 00:44:50,38
McCoy.

524
00:44:57,47 --> 00:45:02,16
The mayor and directors what I want to
talk about is public safety and public

525
00:45:02,17 --> 00:45:06,23
transportation the key information
right now the problem I have I have

526
00:45:06,24 --> 00:45:10,91
a nineteen year old son who pretty much
does not really commute by city bus because

527
00:45:11,31 --> 00:45:15,90
the bus has changed on our route especially
my street however two issues have

528
00:45:15,91 --> 00:45:22,06
occurred last Friday and last Thursday my
son's life was threatened he was walking

529
00:45:22,07 --> 00:45:26,33
from Broadway England Bulang to
lynch drive and he was followed in

530
00:45:26,34 --> 00:45:32,27
a truck by three gentleman who had been
a bike themselves as neo nazis that is

531
00:45:32,28 --> 00:45:36,36
a big problem in literature and specially
in north Iraq where I live the second

532
00:45:36,37 --> 00:45:40,13
matter is that the bus terminal
rock region metro where he's always

533
00:45:40,14 --> 00:45:44,51
a harassed by homeless mean
because he wears heavy metal T.

534
00:45:44,52 --> 00:45:50,57
Shirts he wears Mohawks because he talks
different and he speaks six languages

535
00:45:51,35 --> 00:45:55,66
I have to sometime escort him because his
life has always been threatened and there

536
00:45:55,67 --> 00:45:55,76
was

537
00:45:55,77 --> 00:46:00,26
a gentleman who threatened his life on
last Friday I have brought this to the bus

538
00:46:00,27 --> 00:46:04,93
company or more than one occasion and I
will say thank you so much to Sergeant

539
00:46:05,01 --> 00:46:07,81
Christopher Scott because
he's been a mentor to buy

540
00:46:07,82 --> 00:46:11,72
a son and he's always been there when
there's been a problem but this is

541
00:46:11,73 --> 00:46:15,90
a big problem and my son has Compline
and ask questions with home within the

542
00:46:15,91 --> 00:46:18,69
company that he needs
to speak to but this is

543
00:46:18,70 --> 00:46:22,98
a big problem and you know not all young
men that are nineteen year old walk around

544
00:46:23,07 --> 00:46:29,96
with their pants hanging down raise my son
in the correct way. Well thank you Miss

545
00:46:29,97 --> 00:46:36,87
McCoy did he report. Well actually I
believe already when I called in we have

546
00:46:36,88 --> 00:46:41,88
not heard anything from the bus company do
you call the police department I didn't

547
00:46:41,89 --> 00:46:45,65
call because it's always an issue within
that community and especially on that

548
00:46:45,66 --> 00:46:49,45
particular topic you don't call the police
department they have no way to follow up

549
00:46:49,46 --> 00:46:53,03
and investigate but they never really do
anything because this is the on going to

550
00:46:53,16 --> 00:46:57,32
matter I suspect the chief is here he
probably would he probably would take issue

551
00:46:57,33 --> 00:47:02,64
with you about whether they. Say this is
in the past especially not in Iraq nothing

552
00:47:02,65 --> 00:47:06,27
is ever done anything about it other than
you know you know if it happens again

553
00:47:06,28 --> 00:47:10,07
call us but the issue is that back at the
travel center where homeless man are

554
00:47:10,08 --> 00:47:15,00
harassing him if you will call Jared Garner
who's the director of Rock region Metro

555
00:47:15,39 --> 00:47:18,84
and visit with him he can probably take
care of that from administrative standpoint

556
00:47:18,97 --> 00:47:22,26
but if you don't call the police there's
no way they're going to know about other

557
00:47:22,27 --> 00:47:25,88
be able to investigate it and that's when
I was spoken with Mr Borrow more than one

558
00:47:25,89 --> 00:47:30,72
occasion as I've e-mailed and even I've
even spoken actually e-mailed Mr Moore on

559
00:47:30,73 --> 00:47:31,00
several

560
00:47:31,01 --> 00:47:34,69
a case about matters but regarding the bus
company but just because you're at the

561
00:47:34,70 --> 00:47:40,72
bus terminal you shouldn't be harassed and
let me just say Lieutenant Dan. Tenet

562
00:47:40,73 --> 00:47:47,45
for downtown is here and we'll get your
information and also follow up OK Thank you

563
00:47:47,45 --> 00:47:52,96
. I have is from Karl on lines

564
00:47:54,75 --> 00:48:00,94
Karl-Heinz Mr Hines welcome.

565
00:48:04,72 --> 00:48:11,26
Classmate of OK. Go to the neighborhood

566
00:48:11,27 --> 00:48:18,20
meeting when I can and. Ms definitely call

567
00:48:18,21 --> 00:48:25,15
me this morning told me that come to me
because they were trying to locate the home

568
00:48:25,93 --> 00:48:28,76
ground I'm out and I'm here.

569
00:48:32,92 --> 00:48:39,72
Because no. As long as I've been in Iraq
I know where the homeless are I know how

570
00:48:39,73 --> 00:48:45,05
they operate Yes And smart people that
homeless and homes for different reason and

571
00:48:45,37 --> 00:48:49,97
I would like if you could be somebody
interview someone at home to see how they

572
00:48:49,98 --> 00:48:52,44
feel about it because if you take

573
00:48:52,45 --> 00:48:54,56
a bunch of homeless people
putting together you going to

574
00:48:54,57 --> 00:48:59,94
a problem and now only homeless
we have close to us is right that

575
00:49:00,49 --> 00:49:06,67
a drug bill shot because the live in the
woods there and they go over to get food

576
00:49:06,68 --> 00:49:10,95
just like that and then I can live close
to where the restaurants running get food

577
00:49:10,96 --> 00:49:16,42
in the tough light distro which consider
and try to check for any cause I know some

578
00:49:16,43 --> 00:49:17,98
educator and I know some guys

579
00:49:17,99 --> 00:49:22,45
a college degree and their homes are the
reason veterans homeless are different

580
00:49:22,46 --> 00:49:29,08
reason so they human being like we are and
that's why they're homeless because they

581
00:49:29,09 --> 00:49:35,55
don't like to live close together I can
show you or on appraisal. Or move all all

582
00:49:35,56 --> 00:49:39,97
out that they've got dotted bang you know
no no homeowners but I know where they

583
00:49:39,98 --> 00:49:44,56
lived I've talked to some of you be surprised
how smart some of my what I'd like to

584
00:49:44,57 --> 00:49:50,27
take to the location of out there how
they're going to get back and get to go out

585
00:49:50,28 --> 00:49:55,56
that they put on the black they can't get
any food eating chips or anything like

586
00:49:55,57 --> 00:49:58,03
that they like to be called a
restaurant but I'm just here just

587
00:49:58,45 --> 00:50:03,09
a potion of the Internet and put them all
together because when you put them all

588
00:50:03,10 --> 00:50:04,57
together they will be stealing

589
00:50:04,58 --> 00:50:09,35
a fight and you have laid it out at home
or two and you have more problems or apply

590
00:50:09,36 --> 00:50:15,49
I would like to see just let alone to trash
an instate in Iraq you know because I

591
00:50:15,50 --> 00:50:15,70

592
00:50:15,71 --> 00:50:20,71
a lot of you know or live there living close

595
00:50:31,70 --> 00:50:37,02
And yet come on would you tell them how
you all contacted me because there was an

596
00:50:37,08 --> 00:50:41,78
article and Sunday before last democratic
is that so tell them what you're speaking

597
00:50:41,79 --> 00:50:47,62
on and that's why you're here you want to
hear the home. Home this article that was

598
00:50:47,63 --> 00:50:54,03
and so. She can spring or

599
00:50:54,38 --> 00:51:01,11
spray you might buy because they're calling
all of her with Mr Owen over that they

600
00:51:01,12 --> 00:51:06,99
were at the meeting they said they were
trying to locate him and that is right and

601
00:51:07,00 --> 00:51:12,36
I just remember but I'll just gesture and
say did they give you some of these homes

602
00:51:12,58 --> 00:51:16,17
and see how they feel about putting together
that's all I'm sure you would give me

603
00:51:16,18 --> 00:51:21,22
the topic thanks car Thank
you. OK glorious prayer.

604
00:51:25,75 --> 00:51:30,20
By smear and city board but it was glorious
spring from the neighborhood of granite

605
00:51:30,21 --> 00:51:36,30
hiked Granite Mountain in Ward one and there
was an article in the paper and at our

606
00:51:36,31 --> 00:51:38,91
last neighborhood meeting we had

607
00:51:38,95 --> 00:51:44,58
a person who came to join Actually he was
another minister we have six churches on

608
00:51:44,59 --> 00:51:51,39
Granite Mountain and he was wanting
to help and we don't want to have

609
00:51:51,40 --> 00:51:53,73
a tent city we don't have

610
00:51:53,74 --> 00:51:58,84
a bank we don't have very much in
granite mountain we have a Kroger and

611
00:51:58,85 --> 00:52:00,96
a Dollar General and we have

612
00:52:00,97 --> 00:52:05,75
a highway that goes straight through our
neighborhood and you've seen us been there

613
00:52:05,76 --> 00:52:09,79
before and now we have more
senior citizens because we have

614
00:52:09,80 --> 00:52:13,03
a senior residence on top
of granite mountain we have

615
00:52:13,04 --> 00:52:18,68
a mix used property with three different
types of people in come in there and

616
00:52:18,69 --> 00:52:22,08
that's working out well but the neighborhood
is becoming more and more senior

617
00:52:22,09 --> 00:52:28,35
citizen we have water she we have
Union Rescue Mission we have

618
00:52:28,36 --> 00:52:35,07
a place where the homeless can come and
clean up they have meals. And we have safe

619
00:52:35,08 --> 00:52:39,20
harbor which I'm really not sure what Safe
Harbor does but I do know on the weekend

620
00:52:39,21 --> 00:52:44,42
the fellas take out walking through the
neighborhood to go do their shopping but we

621
00:52:44,43 --> 00:52:48,46
have children we have one little playground
most people don't know where it is

622
00:52:48,47 --> 00:52:52,65
because it was built when I was young
and people don't let their children run

623
00:52:52,66 --> 00:52:58,97
across Interstate three sixty five anymore
and so at the meeting we decided that we

624
00:52:58,98 --> 00:53:05,67
wanted to let the city know as you consider
housing more people in need please

625
00:53:05,68 --> 00:53:11,85
don't consider granite Mount we are helping
we don't mind helping but we cannot

626
00:53:11,86 --> 00:53:18,31
sustain another increase of people in
need we are in need and that's what

627
00:53:18,91 --> 00:53:23,38
we wanted to tell you the president of our
neighborhood association is Stephanie

628
00:53:23,39 --> 00:53:29,35
feels and she's serving somewhere else
right now and she did call the team up and

629
00:53:29,36 --> 00:53:33,77
that's why Mr Hines was here and that's
why I'm here is that we just cannot

630
00:53:33,78 --> 00:53:39,88
maintain more homeless as I say it's
safe harbor is all men and they live in

631
00:53:39,89 --> 00:53:45,72
a gated facility that children have to see
that and we have to bring that to their

632
00:53:45,73 --> 00:53:51,88
daily consciousness that these people in
need are here they are grown men and we

633
00:53:51,89 --> 00:53:56,82
have that then we have water see it were
many different types of people come on

634
00:53:56,83 --> 00:54:01,85
occasion to get help and people bring him
to water she and they disperse food they

635
00:54:01,86 --> 00:54:06,77
disperse cloves and they do Christmas they
do all kinds of things and anybody may

636
00:54:06,78 --> 00:54:13,28
know what Union Rescue Mission this
right at the. Railroad tracks into our

637
00:54:13,29 --> 00:54:19,40
area and there are people gathered there
daily to eat people gather at the facility

638
00:54:19,41 --> 00:54:25,99
across the street to clean up so we have
the indigent community and while we care

639
00:54:26,00 --> 00:54:32,95
about them if they did come there we need
to house homeless or to hit city not

640
00:54:33,67 --> 00:54:40,09
anger and unmount. Thank you misprint

Thompson's same as the Thompson.

657
00:56:12,01 --> 00:56:18,66
The mayor and city officials on board
of directors I'm coming this afternoon

658
00:56:18,67 --> 00:56:22,11
because of harassment at the bus term I am

659
00:56:22,12 --> 00:56:26,55
a minister and I've been doing homeless
ministry for four years just not for here

660
00:56:27,16 --> 00:56:32,15
and I go to the travel center to be able
to help the homeless I've been out of

661
00:56:32,16 --> 00:56:36,78
doing ministry in shelters so therefore
I noted in the it's an out of the what

662
00:56:36,79 --> 00:56:41,58
these people are dealing with my motto is
If you can't be part of the solution it's

663
00:56:41,59 --> 00:56:47,32
only talking about the problem and I tell
people all the time I tell them that

664
00:56:47,33 --> 00:56:51,64
people don't care how much you know but
they need to know how much you care every

665
00:56:51,65 --> 00:56:57,26
time I go to the Travel Center I'm harassed
I'm always asked Oh you're catching

666
00:56:57,27 --> 00:57:02,31
a bus you need delete them. I'm not
like they always say and I want

667
00:57:02,32 --> 00:57:06,77
a lottery so since I've been going down
years for last few months I've been

668
00:57:06,78 --> 00:57:11,36
destroyed made against because the
police officer told he said he made

669
00:57:11,37 --> 00:57:12,90
a comment because that was

670
00:57:12,91 --> 00:57:18,71
a guy that was there that was this
past week that raped me a year and

671
00:57:18,72 --> 00:57:24,11
a half ago I panicked when I saw him and
so he made the comment His name is obvious

672
00:57:24,12 --> 00:57:30,34
or more he made the comment So what you've
been right so as I made comments was

673
00:57:30,35 --> 00:57:34,52
sorry if that was your mother to
tell your daughter your cousin it is

674
00:57:34,53 --> 00:57:39,47
a female in your family how would you feel
and he told me you go case to bust you

675
00:57:39,48 --> 00:57:45,31
got to get away from here but you're not
concerned about how I feel because that

676
00:57:45,32 --> 00:57:49,97
was trumped traumatic in my life there
really was to see him again after do you see

677
00:57:49,98 --> 00:57:55,17
years and and he went away scot free nothing
happened he was arrested and released

678
00:57:55,18 --> 00:58:00,56
in one hour but I've got to live with it
even family members didn't want to be

679
00:58:00,57 --> 00:58:01,78
around because they thought I had

680
00:58:01,79 --> 00:58:07,45
a chappie So that's very traumatic to me
between about heroes but I tried to help

681
00:58:07,49 --> 00:58:13,88
homeless people because I know that they
need somebody to show some concern I work

682
00:58:13,89 --> 00:58:17,97
out of five ministries I don't want first
of all I don't have time to do no lottery

683
00:58:18,19 --> 00:58:23,77
I do you think history I do elderly care
ministry I do women's ministry and I have

684
00:58:23,78 --> 00:58:28,69
a ministry place tabernacle so I don't
have time to larder I go down there I may

685
00:58:28,70 --> 00:58:32,01
walk with one of the women there but she
doesn't have sense enough to open our

686
00:58:32,02 --> 00:58:36,55
mouth to let nobody know that I'm
down there to walk with her and I'm

687
00:58:36,56 --> 00:58:41,56
counter-terror to I really am sick of
going to the travel center being harassed

688
00:58:41,77 --> 00:58:46,37
because all I'm trying to do is help
that's it I've been banded from some every

689
00:58:46,38 --> 00:58:50,71
time but the same homeless people I'm
trying to help down here not about the Word

690
00:58:50,72 --> 00:58:56,26
of God. That's how I got to tell him you
know I had to rely on the resource you

691
00:58:56,27 --> 00:59:01,02
need to start looking to the source that's
what you need to look to because all

692
00:59:01,03 --> 00:59:04,63
this other stuff can be eliminated if you
only would give your heart and your mind

693
00:59:04,64 --> 00:59:08,20
to Christ that you could be alleviated
from all of what you're going through and

694
00:59:08,21 --> 00:59:10,24
all of that but I try to him I'm

695
00:59:10,25 --> 00:59:16,79
a person I am I serve I don't want anybody
to give me nothing but I try to give

696
00:59:16,80 --> 00:59:22,75
everything I can to try to help people and
because of that I've got to be harassed

697
00:59:23,05 --> 00:59:26,78
I was told that if I'm going to talk
I need to go across the street what

698
00:59:26,79 --> 00:59:31,73
a smoke I've been told what to say and
what not to say and that's invaded my my

699
00:59:31,74 --> 00:59:34,00
freedom of speech and my
religion Thank you Mr.

700
00:59:40,51 --> 00:59:46,49
Mr Moore if you would visit with Mr
foreigner and find out what kind of

701
00:59:47,39 --> 00:59:49,29

speak against this I am only
calling Karen bulbous please

758
01:03:56,55 --> 01:04:02,01
Good evening Mayor Mr Moore and
directors I'm opposed to this.

759
01:04:03,60 --> 01:04:09,67
Over ordinance However we have worked with
the little We've met with the law school

760
01:04:09,68 --> 01:04:11,27
district in the architects and we had

761
01:04:11,28 --> 01:04:16,14
a list of concerns and they seem like
they would are able to meet all those For

762
01:04:16,15 --> 01:04:18,25
that I'm very pleased but I do have just

763
01:04:18,26 --> 01:04:23,43
a couple more concerns the main one
is the traffic. There's already

764
01:04:23,44 --> 01:04:26,79
a lot of traffic on my Volvo
pi and I'm just wondering if

765
01:04:26,80 --> 01:04:28,42
a traffic light would be better than

766
01:04:28,43 --> 01:04:34,72
a roundabout. Also there's

767
01:04:34,73 --> 01:04:39,50
a buffer mostly of one hundred fifty but
it goes to fifty fifth and I think it

768
01:04:39,51 --> 01:04:43,31
should be a hundred fit all the way
around and the last thing I have

769
01:04:43,32 --> 01:04:46,67
a concern with is there is forty eight
parking spaces that are very close to the

770
01:04:46,68 --> 01:04:48,05
neighborhood and I feel that's

771
01:04:48,06 --> 01:04:53,34
a problem thank you for your consideration
thank you thank you Ms Baldrige.

772
01:04:54,94 --> 01:04:55,75
Elizabeth peel.

773
01:05:01,80 --> 01:05:08,73
Present also my bill residence. As
well oppose. However I am for progress

774
01:05:09,00 --> 01:05:14,00
and I know we can't change that but I do
have safety issues also with those forty

775
01:05:14,01 --> 01:05:19,80
eight that microphone closer to you can
hear me. I do have an issue with those

776
01:05:19,81 --> 01:05:25,75
forty eight parking spots because
they do basically not buffer but.

777
01:05:28,33 --> 01:05:33,66
They're right behind the maybe circle
residence in that concerns me the loud music

778
01:05:33,67 --> 01:05:37,22
and so on and so forth that will be played
more than likely past the hours of eight

779
01:05:37,23 --> 01:05:42,13
o'clock we're older people in that area
and it does bother us we're able to hear.

780
01:05:43,18 --> 01:05:49,67
It but we can definitely hear that kind of
stuff. But I do have other concerns that

781
01:05:49,68 --> 01:05:54,08
we did speak with the Little Rock school
district and they were awesome about it

782
01:05:54,09 --> 01:06:00,73
too I also oppose the one hundred feet in
the fifty feet of the buffer that they're

783
01:06:01,15 --> 01:06:06,55
asking to give us I would prefer that they
go ahead in and give us one hundred feet

784
01:06:06,56 --> 01:06:13,18
all the way across versus the one hundred
fifty or maybe even work with maybe with

785
01:06:13,19 --> 01:06:19,78
the seventy five at that point that
they are going to do the beat. And

786
01:06:19,79 --> 01:06:25,04
dense. Tree lined. Thing to do is that.

787
01:06:26,96 --> 01:06:31,01
I guess my biggest concern is with the
Little Rock school district or the Southwest

788
01:06:31,13 --> 01:06:36,71
new school is that. I do and I appreciate
the fact that you guys want to do

789
01:06:36,72 --> 01:06:43,30
a newer and better and bigger and have these
kids be proud of what you know we can

790
01:06:43,31 --> 01:06:47,21
do for them but I'm taken back to one
thousand nine hundred two when J.

791
01:06:47,22 --> 01:06:48,91
Fair first was

792
01:06:49,19 --> 01:06:54,51
a stablished and now you're shutting it
down I guess in order to merge de Fer and

793
01:06:54,52 --> 01:06:56,83
McClellan and it's on a mistaken J.

794
01:06:56,84 --> 01:07:02,71
Fer first came from McClellan because of
the student population that you guys had

795
01:07:03,08 --> 01:07:06,93
some kind of confused you know with all
this that you guys are merging them again

796
01:07:07,03 --> 01:07:12,43
when they were once merged and removed
from sight and put in another facility and

797
01:07:12,44 --> 01:07:17,72
it's only taken less than thirty five years
you know for them to go ahead and say

798
01:07:17,73 --> 01:07:21,48
OK let's go ahead and just merge
and put you in a new division

799
01:07:21,49 --> 01:07:26,39
a new new or better school and let's
see what we can do with that I'm just

800
01:07:26,40 --> 01:07:31,13
concerned about that I'm concerned for our
safety I'm concerned for you know the

801
01:07:31,42 --> 01:07:38,17
disrespect of our community that will curry.
Just like any other community here you

802
01:07:38,18 --> 01:07:42,38
know what's happening here at Granite
Mountain could be happening in Mabel bill at

803
01:07:42,39 --> 01:07:45,56
a later date and I don't want
that to happen maybe Bill is a is

804
01:07:45,57 --> 01:07:50,55
a strong little community it's
it's a it's a hideaway home for

805
01:07:50,56 --> 01:07:56,20
a lot of people that nobody really knows
how wonderful it is and I'm afraid that

806
01:07:56,21 --> 01:07:58,40
you guys are going to really for lack of

807
01:07:58,41 --> 01:08:03,25
a better word screw it up by bringing in
all these kids all over again when thirty

808
01:08:03,26 --> 01:08:08,91
five years ago you removed them and placed
them in another school so among all mall

809
01:08:08,92 --> 01:08:13,85
for progress and I I'm all for education
but the kids need to know and learn

810
01:08:13,86 --> 01:08:17,92
respect first and foremost it starts at
home it doesn't start with the police

811
01:08:17,93 --> 01:08:22,44
officer It starts at home with the parents
on both sides and the police officers

812
01:08:22,45 --> 01:08:29,07
can go ahead and patrol that and as parents
as community residents we can go ahead

813
01:08:29,11 --> 01:08:34,42
and also stand up to that and be witnesses
to what we ought to be responsible for

814
01:08:34,57 --> 01:08:38,06
and what kids can be responsible for
unless you start teaching them at

815
01:08:38,07 --> 01:08:44,67
a young age to respect you've got diddly
squat. Diddly squat so I'm just saying you

816
01:08:44,68 --> 01:08:50,67
know I'm all for progress but I really
want our Mabel Bill residents to

817
01:08:51,58 --> 01:08:57,50
be awarded and be protected also so if we're
going to be put on the map by this big

818
01:08:57,51 --> 01:09:02,32
school then I want something to happen to
our neighborhood and be protected by it

819
01:09:02,33 --> 01:09:09,28
also so I thank all of you thank you
again THANK YOU THANK YOU director Eric

820
01:09:09,29 --> 01:09:09,69
you have

821
01:09:09,70 --> 01:09:21,86
a question or comment for this bill. The

822
01:09:21,87 --> 01:09:28,15
dentist and you to say that you or expect
you refer to it three times just to this

823
01:09:28,16 --> 01:09:32,87
bullet where you where we can't do it we
have no control at old school district you

824
01:09:32,88 --> 01:09:39,02
know I know that but I know that you guys
can police our area in that one section

825
01:09:39,03 --> 01:09:43,33
it looks like we're surrounded by the
Little Rock School District except for that

826
01:09:43,34 --> 01:09:50,00
one section of Mabel pike that were being
left basically depend for ourselves. On

827
01:09:50,01 --> 01:09:54,03
that stretch what you're asking us to road
I just want to make sure that we have

828
01:09:54,04 --> 01:09:58,30
community you know involvement I want to
make sure that the police are constantly

829
01:09:58,31 --> 01:10:05,17
patrol in that area you know days of leaving
our doors open are long gone you know

830
01:10:05,21 --> 01:10:11,02
I was able to go out and drink my cup of
tea last two weeks two days ago thinking.

831
01:10:12,18 --> 01:10:17,96
You know come May ninth I'm not going to
have that ability any longer because of

832
01:10:17,97 --> 01:10:24,60
the constant motion from six to six am to
pm on Mondays through Fridays on whatever

833
01:10:24,61 --> 01:10:26,35
they're going to start doing to erect

834
01:10:26,36 --> 01:10:32,65
a school. Saturday is my understanding
from six to seven pm six am to seven pm

835
01:10:32,66 --> 01:10:36,88
They're going to be working that's if the
milage goes through and my Sundays from

836
01:10:36,89 --> 01:10:41,50
one to six you know and then God knows
what ails along the way that comes through

837
01:10:41,51 --> 01:10:46,26
with these kids that are going to be coming
you know so you're nearly sation what

838
01:10:46,27 --> 01:10:52,78
happens you want to sit if you eat this.
Is that what you're asking I would

839
01:10:53,27 --> 01:10:56,56
say yes but I know that progress
has to go on thank you.

840
01:11:05,22 --> 01:11:06,89
One of the card Dr Whitfield

841
01:11:12,54 --> 01:11:18,27
thank you I'm just curious about the
establishment of the zoning for this area I

842
01:11:18,28 --> 01:11:19,71
know the Little Rock School District has

843
01:11:19,72 --> 01:11:24,66
a millage That's coming up May the ninth
which the resident may reference to and it

844
01:11:24,67 --> 01:11:29,14
will end that Milledge it promises that
south those that are school be built and so

845
01:11:29,15 --> 01:11:34,97
I just want to get clarity is this
ordinates asking for permission to build

846
01:11:34,98 --> 01:11:38,75
a building where the our school history is
already promised the citizens that they

847
01:11:38,76 --> 01:11:43,50
can build the building is that what this
is asking for I don't want to clarity on

848
01:11:43,51 --> 01:11:48,86
that yes I mean the this is

849
01:11:48,87 --> 01:11:50,93
a motion is an ordinance to approve

850
01:11:50,94 --> 01:11:56,24
a plan zoning development. Southwest High
School to be located at ninety seven

851
01:11:56,25 --> 01:12:00,83
fifteen may well Pike which is the intersection
of Mabel pike and Sibley who wrote

852
01:12:01,97 --> 01:12:08,66
So Mayor I'm pretty well what I'm
asking you is was this area not already

853
01:12:08,70 --> 01:12:09,79
zoned for

854
01:12:09,80 --> 01:12:15,63
a school. To be built it was not that's
why it's before you write and so the

855
01:12:15,64 --> 01:12:20,97
promise that the citizens of Little
Rock are being asked to vote on is

856
01:12:20,98 --> 01:12:26,20
a far far city because you all have not
yet voted to approve that this land could

857
01:12:26,48 --> 01:12:33,02
be used for school well and that's what's
on the agenda. Right but the. The voters

858
01:12:33,03 --> 01:12:36,92
to the request of the Little
Rock school district to ask for

859
01:12:36,93 --> 01:12:40,27
a militant and director high and
you know I know you it's been

860
01:12:40,28 --> 01:12:44,01
a long night and I hear you sighing
but I'm a citizen that pays

861
01:12:44,02 --> 01:12:49,13
a lot of property taxes and so I'm trying
to find out with what I'm being asked to

862
01:12:49,14 --> 01:12:54,66
vote on I'm being asked about on today
before you guys vote on this I'm being asked

863
01:12:54,67 --> 01:12:57,58
to vote on property that is not zoned for

864
01:12:57,59 --> 01:13:02,33
a school to be built on at this coming
with voters on May ninth so right but I

865
01:13:02,34 --> 01:13:04,06
think I get I could R.T.

866
01:13:04,07 --> 01:13:08,31
Have some some patients who've already
voted on this because they were not aware

867
01:13:08,49 --> 01:13:12,33
vote is for the bonds to get
the money shouldn't it be for

868
01:13:12,34 --> 01:13:16,63
a high school then if they were in southwest
literally this is where they wanted to

869
01:13:16,64 --> 01:13:21,57
be but this is not approved and they can
put it someplace else outside so that now

870
01:13:21,63 --> 01:13:23,43
that's a good point I want to leave that's

871
01:13:23,44 --> 01:13:28,60
a point but that's that's incorrect OK
so I would like our planning director Mr

872
01:13:28,61 --> 01:13:34,02
Brzezinski to come forward the majority
of that property out there you can build

873
01:13:34,03 --> 01:13:38,91
a school and right now this is to deal
with some access issues so tell me if you

874
01:13:38,92 --> 01:13:45,85
would come forward please yes thank
you. Like an opportunity once

875
01:13:45,86 --> 01:13:49,56
we hear from him if I have some more questions
to be able to come up and ask his I

876
01:13:49,57 --> 01:13:52,74
understand my questions aren't
time is that correct OK.

877
01:13:58,78 --> 01:14:03,34
Mayor vice mayor member of the members of
the board if you look at the graphic in

878
01:14:03,35 --> 01:14:09,11
front of you that crosshatch area is
what's being proposed for this new school

879
01:14:09,12 --> 01:14:16,03
which is approximately sixty one acres.
I don't mean it the greatest percentage

880
01:14:16,04 --> 01:14:21,06
probably ninety five percent ninety
six percent is currently zone C.

881
01:14:21,07 --> 01:14:23,85
Three general commercial the C.

882
01:14:23,86 --> 01:14:25,66
Three district allows

883
01:14:25,70 --> 01:14:32,10
a school by right with this proposed
site plan there are the two

884
01:14:32,78 --> 01:14:38,61
entrances into the school the southern
one and then the northern one the main

885
01:14:38,62 --> 01:14:45,50
entrance that property is own are two
So that's and then with the this

886
01:14:45,51 --> 01:14:52,07
side plan that they have is multiple
structures multiple buildings so we felt to

887
01:14:52,14 --> 01:14:56,55
address all that at one time to go
through the plan development process

888
01:14:59,27 --> 01:15:03,34
with Tony would you would
you mind addressing

889
01:15:03,35 --> 01:15:09,39
a couple of other issues the parking
spaces in the the buffer issue Yes Well

890
01:15:09,40 --> 01:15:15,21
current if we can stay on that zoning map
for one minute Mr Carter you can see

891
01:15:15,25 --> 01:15:20,82
right directly adjacent to Mavis circle
on the property in question there is

892
01:15:20,83 --> 01:15:23,02
a one hundred foot zone O.-S.

893
01:15:23,03 --> 01:15:29,58
Area open space that area it's
in black Yes That area is

894
01:15:30,01 --> 01:15:36,93
reflected on the site plan if we can go
to the site plan next the sketch Scuse

895
01:15:36,94 --> 01:15:37,14
me.

896
01:15:47,11 --> 01:15:52,52
So the Mavis Circle neighborhood is that
area that's right there where the cursor

897
01:15:52,53 --> 01:15:56,78
is and then directly east of that for

898
01:15:56,79 --> 01:16:02,53
a majority of that area is that one hundred
foot open space area or buffer in this

899
01:16:02,54 --> 01:16:09,35
case reference was made to forty eight
parking spaces those are broken up

900
01:16:09,36 --> 01:16:16,09
into sections or areas of twenty four
spaces adjacent to the softball field and

901
01:16:16,10 --> 01:16:22,81
also to the baseball field they are oriented
towards those fields so you have the

902
01:16:22,87 --> 01:16:26,52
hundred foot air buffer area then you have

903
01:16:26,53 --> 01:16:32,35
a drive and then the parking spaces and
again they're pointed towards the fields

904
01:16:32,36 --> 01:16:37,68
and I would soon because where they're
located their use would probably be limited

905
01:16:37,69 --> 01:16:44,60
to when they have activities
at those two fields and nagger

906
01:16:44,61 --> 01:16:47,57
I'm Was there something else that was
brought up there was an issue of

907
01:16:48,20 --> 01:16:54,70
a round about well I can I get
the school district had Ernie

908
01:16:54,71 --> 01:16:55,42
Peters do

909
01:16:55,43 --> 01:17:00,26
a traffic study in through that traffic
study and Mr Honeywell can probably go into

910
01:17:00,27 --> 01:17:04,93
more detail but it was determined that
for this type of development that the

911
01:17:04,94 --> 01:17:08,76
roundabout would work
or function better than

912
01:17:08,77 --> 01:17:14,50
a traffic signal and that's at the main
entrance Sidley hole in the northern

913
01:17:14,51 --> 01:17:21,37
entrance to the school OK. We've got some
directors who may have some questions for

914
01:17:21,38 --> 01:17:27,34
you or comments director has your first
please I'm going to reserve my comment

915
01:17:27,64 --> 01:17:34,31
twenty four hour rule
mayor director Ed cut to

916
01:17:34,32 --> 01:17:38,74
recognize please if I do not have
questions of Tony I want questions of the

917
01:17:38,75 --> 01:17:45,04
applicant please OK question for the
applicant either Mr Adams them is to put

918
01:17:45,49 --> 01:17:52,25
Steve who who is going to be
representing the applicant here Mr Bork

919
01:17:53,04 --> 01:17:59,98
welcome. Yes

920
01:17:59,99 --> 01:18:03,02
to poor spam the other night when we had

921
01:18:03,03 --> 01:18:06,66
a meeting you was not able to
attain and correct but we had

922
01:18:06,67 --> 01:18:12,26
a how long list of items and the neighborhood
has worked through all those with Mr

923
01:18:12,41 --> 01:18:14,72
Adams and with Steven and
the other staff that was

924
01:18:14,73 --> 01:18:21,67
a year except we're down to two I cannot
ask you to do these two Mr Carpenter would

925
01:18:21,68 --> 01:18:27,80
stop. But I think these two are very
important to the neighborhood one is parking

926
01:18:27,81 --> 01:18:33,50
places and you can see the before here
can I have the zoning map Mr Scott the

927
01:18:33,51 --> 01:18:40,40
zoning map I don't think some
people understand how close East

928
01:18:40,51 --> 01:18:47,45
houses are this oh yes here is two
hundred feet but then it goes

929
01:18:47,46 --> 01:18:52,62
to fifty feet and the neighborhood had asked
that that hundred feet extend all the

930
01:18:52,63 --> 01:18:57,07
way up to behind the houses
the people and maybe

931
01:18:57,08 --> 01:19:03,54
a circle have very long lots I would
imagine the an acre in the lot so these

932
01:19:03,77 --> 01:19:04,81
houses about there may have

933
01:19:04,82 --> 01:19:10,56
a circle of very close to those who are
and so they was asking for hundred feet

934
01:19:10,60 --> 01:19:16,95
they are and those parking places Scott if
you can go back to the other place those

935
01:19:16,96 --> 01:19:19,75
parking places people becoming after

936
01:19:19,76 --> 01:19:26,00
a ballgame and Scott if you show those
parking places on this map this map to by

937
01:19:26,01 --> 01:19:30,42
the green they're coming out of a
ballgame with people outside is never

938
01:19:30,43 --> 01:19:33,90
a thing they're going to get in a
car remember how close a system

939
01:19:33,91 --> 01:19:38,83
a vicious circle because they'll be slamming
those doors there have been there be

940
01:19:38,84 --> 01:19:43,31
Lafon and everything and their homes are
right there their bedrooms are right here

941
01:19:43,66 --> 01:19:48,86
behind the parking places there are some
to eat trees and everything but you know

942
01:19:49,44 --> 01:19:55,44
loud noise carries fast but you can in the
winter time of the fall these are the

943
01:19:55,45 --> 01:19:55,98
two things

944
01:19:55,99 --> 01:20:02,33
a neighborhood have come down to is parking
places and the fifty for being extended

945
01:20:02,34 --> 01:20:08,75
two hundred foot. OK to respond Yes Go ahead
please thank you Mayor and also Thank

946
01:20:08,76 --> 01:20:12,67
you Director Ed Koc First off
the buffer zone was extended as

947
01:20:12,68 --> 01:20:17,08
a part of the meeting that took place and
so we are agreeable to extending that

948
01:20:17,09 --> 01:20:22,97
buffer zone and so that is something that
we will go ahead and do the parking spots

949
01:20:23,71 --> 01:20:24,23
just to add

950
01:20:24,24 --> 01:20:29,01
a little more clarity on that that there
again there are forty eight spots those

951
01:20:29,02 --> 01:20:32,74
are for both the baseball and softball
field the baseball and softball fields in

952
01:20:32,75 --> 01:20:37,26
terms of competitive when you see those
type of vehicles those are happening in

953
01:20:37,27 --> 01:20:41,92
this only to spring is when that
those two sports compete so there is

954
01:20:41,93 --> 01:20:42,41
a lot more of

955
01:20:42,42 --> 01:20:47,86
a limited amount of access on to those
fields other than if we rented out the

956
01:20:47,87 --> 01:20:49,19
facility so I do want to make

957
01:20:49,49 --> 01:20:52,88
a point that that could happen in terms
of bringing it out in the fall to some

958
01:20:52,89 --> 01:20:57,10
community group or something that might
want to have it there we did keep the trees

959
01:20:57,35 --> 01:20:57,62
that was

960
01:20:57,63 --> 01:21:01,85
a part of our presentation to all of you
and we talked about this the first meeting

961
01:21:02,11 --> 01:21:06,07
to try to keep as many trees along the
perimeter to also cut in the buffer and I

962
01:21:06,62 --> 01:21:06,86
create

963
01:21:06,87 --> 01:21:09,34
a little more of the buffer in terms of
the noise and I appreciate you bringing

964
01:21:09,35 --> 01:21:15,47
that up Director Ed Koc. But we
we do think that. This plan.

965
01:21:16,63 --> 01:21:21,46
Does as much as we humanly possibly can
to support the neighborhood and cut down

966
01:21:21,47 --> 01:21:25,28
the noise and if there's other things
that we can look at in terms of solutions

967
01:21:25,29 --> 01:21:30,87
we're we're probably open to that these
cars going to pop facing the. Place in the

968
01:21:30,88 --> 01:21:37,29
homes Well you know you cars will I couldn't
tell you that I could guarantee that

969
01:21:38,14 --> 01:21:43,62
you know I know that some people park the
direction that would be facing towards

970
01:21:43,63 --> 01:21:49,68
that that neighborhood is my guess but.
So I can't guarantee that one way or the

971
01:21:49,69 --> 01:21:52,90
other if they was part of the way their
lights when they turned them on would not

972
01:21:52,91 --> 01:21:57,48
be would help them I agree with you and
that would help also I think if I'm not

973
01:21:57,49 --> 01:22:04,44
mistaken those parking places are not
altogether the. Some space in between them as

974
01:22:04,45 --> 01:22:08,38
aphids said that some fencing could be
put up at that place was added to your

975
01:22:08,57 --> 01:22:13,35
application that is correct that we will
do that as well just as we said at the

976
01:22:13,36 --> 01:22:19,52
meeting with the community that
chair that OK Thank you Director or

977
01:22:20,23 --> 01:22:26,37
you Rick Nash. Well Joan beat me to that
she already covered all of the sticky

978
01:22:26,95 --> 01:22:28,93
points that we had from our meeting it was

979
01:22:28,94 --> 01:22:32,94
a very good meeting I don't think we followed
the Adinda in fact that was the first

980
01:22:32,95 --> 01:22:39,06
time I saw the agenda. And it was
a very active group there were

981
01:22:39,07 --> 01:22:43,48
a lot of people that appreciated what
school district trying to do with this new

982
01:22:43,49 --> 01:22:49,14
and improved school on this property and
as Joan said we got down to these two

983
01:22:49,15 --> 01:22:55,41
issues one has been removed one hundred
foot buffer has been added my question

984
01:22:55,93 --> 01:23:01,42
and. The parking spaces

985
01:23:02,84 --> 01:23:09,57
and how people maybe not appreciate
how much noise that park cars

986
01:23:09,58 --> 01:23:16,57
parking getting in. Turning on loud
music people laughing horns going

987
01:23:16,58 --> 01:23:21,30
off those kinds of things can impact a
neighborhood and I'm wondering if there's

988
01:23:21,31 --> 01:23:24,87
a way. It just seems like there's

989
01:23:24,91 --> 01:23:29,81
a ton of parking that to the north of
where this place is as if you don't have

990
01:23:29,82 --> 01:23:35,90
enough parking already there to take care
of at least one of the strips of parking

991
01:23:35,90 --> 01:23:42,28
. In the one that is just
adjacent to. A circle

992
01:23:45,37 --> 01:23:52,32
that would probably be what
twenty four spaces Yeah

993
01:23:52,38 --> 01:23:58,08
but by the softball field it just seems
to me that you've got. A ton of spices

994
01:23:58,09 --> 01:24:04,30
already and it's still close to the
softball field. But I just think that that

995
01:24:04,31 --> 01:24:04,70
would be

996
01:24:04,71 --> 01:24:09,76
a really great great thing to do for the
neighborhood you you have taken into

997
01:24:09,77 --> 01:24:11,27
consideration a lot of

998
01:24:11,69 --> 01:24:15,42
a lot of their name and trying to
trying to make the future for them

999
01:24:15,43 --> 01:24:21,82
a little bit better and we did talk
about the roundabout think Mr John has

1000
01:24:21,83 --> 01:24:25,60
convinced us that the roundabout probably
is the right thing to do at that location

1001
01:24:25,61 --> 01:24:27,85
as opposed to a traffic light I was

1002
01:24:27,86 --> 01:24:31,77
a little bit nervous about teenagers and
how they might maneuver their rant about

1003
01:24:31,78 --> 01:24:38,36
but everybody tells me they're smarter
than them do fine with that. But

1004
01:24:39,06 --> 01:24:44,33
anyway that that was my that was my Warry
remaining parking spaces and the loud

1005
01:24:44,34 --> 01:24:46,55
noises that they would hear from that

1006
01:24:52,11 --> 01:24:56,69
Mary OK if I respond to that yes please go
thank you and Thank you Director water.

1007
01:24:58,77 --> 01:25:03,92
Is. One thing just to make sure that
everyone understands that we have set up

1008
01:25:03,93 --> 01:25:08,11
a situation also to help out with the
neighborhood in terms of just traffic flow

1009
01:25:08,45 --> 01:25:14,33
after hours to be able to close this campus
down so that Access will not be able to

1010
01:25:14,37 --> 01:25:19,56
come into the campus unless they do something
breakthrough or whatever so we are

1011
01:25:19,60 --> 01:25:23,12
shutting down the campus so that you can
have traffic coming in there at one in two

1012
01:25:23,13 --> 01:25:29,46
in the morning zipping through this area
and we we will be agreeable to moving

1013
01:25:30,24 --> 01:25:35,53
a bank of those parking spots to again
find middle ground with everyone to try to

1014
01:25:35,54 --> 01:25:35,81
make it

1015
01:25:35,82 --> 01:25:42,82
a better situation for YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU Mr poor Yes I

1016
01:25:42,83 --> 01:25:45,95
appreciate you doing that I think that
will make their lives much nicer there

1017
01:25:45,96 --> 01:25:51,84
shaking their heads back there. Thank you
very much OK Dr Whitfield did you have

1018
01:25:51,85 --> 01:25:58,28
any thing else you wish to add. And
so I guess one of the things that

1019
01:25:58,81 --> 01:26:03,56
eliminate it for me is the fact that yes
most of the facility is actually zoned for

1020
01:26:03,57 --> 01:26:07,48
a school but in order to actually access
or be able to get into the school this is

1021
01:26:07,49 --> 01:26:10,87
what we're really voting on is that and I
just want to get clarity is that we're

1022
01:26:10,88 --> 01:26:14,52
saying. Well it's

1023
01:26:14,53 --> 01:26:20,60
a ploy and zoning development which
means. Staff are committed to the school

1024
01:26:20,61 --> 01:26:27,09
district. The entire area of land to be
planned and sound which is why you see this

1025
01:26:27,51 --> 01:26:33,53
elaborate fairly elaborate layout of the
school so it is prompted by virtue of the

1026
01:26:33,57 --> 01:26:37,03
access issues but it does it is

1027
01:26:37,04 --> 01:26:43,92
a resolving. Very specifically to
the. Sketch that you have in front of

1028
01:26:43,93 --> 01:26:49,30
you so the seat three designation will it
remain that or is it going to change some

1029
01:26:49,34 --> 01:26:52,46
to something else plans to be a P.C.B.

1030
01:26:52,55 --> 01:26:58,37
He's eating OK and so I guess my next
question is brought up and I think Tom's not

1031
01:26:58,38 --> 01:27:02,57
there anymore but Tom brought up an
interesting point and that was that if this

1032
01:27:02,58 --> 01:27:07,25
didn't pass that they could move
or find other places to put

1033
01:27:07,26 --> 01:27:12,09
a Southwest Little Rock school and I'm
just interested to know and I. Want in

1034
01:27:12,10 --> 01:27:16,06
a porous here what other places
he might have in mind to place

1035
01:27:16,07 --> 01:27:19,66
a school in south US Little Rock other than
this location I clarified I was saying

1036
01:27:19,70 --> 01:27:26,03
OK please please DO you were asking what
you were voting on in the school election

1037
01:27:26,22 --> 01:27:31,89
right and I was merely pointing out that
the school action is to provide the

1038
01:27:31,90 --> 01:27:32,67
funding for

1039
01:27:32,68 --> 01:27:37,32
a high school this is where they want to
put it if something happens and they can't

1040
01:27:37,33 --> 01:27:40,53
put it there that has nothing
to do with funding for

1041
01:27:40,54 --> 01:27:44,63
a high school that doesn't suggest that
there's another place they want to put it

1042
01:27:44,64 --> 01:27:45,25
can't put it

1043
01:27:45,26 --> 01:27:48,60
a thought about putting it or anything of
that nature which is making the simple

1044
01:27:48,61 --> 01:27:51,22
statement that you're voting
for the funds to build

1045
01:27:51,23 --> 01:27:57,37
a high school right and ice is not part
of that and I understand your point right

1046
01:27:57,41 --> 01:28:00,82
but what the ex if you actually read it
I know you're an attorney but if you

1047
01:28:00,83 --> 01:28:05,58
actually read what the issue the bond issue
says it says in southwest Little Rock

1048
01:28:05,59 --> 01:28:11,01
and so my question is if not they are way
are in Southall as little as it was I

1049
01:28:11,02 --> 01:28:14,71
think we'll see whether those passes or
not and if it doesn't pass then that

1050
01:28:14,83 --> 01:28:20,46
question might be real and so the last
question that I have is and I'm and B.J.

1051
01:28:20,47 --> 01:28:24,41
I think you are the person that I want.
The city hall meeting that night that

1052
01:28:24,42 --> 01:28:27,24
brought up the fact that it was very
important to ask the residents in that

1053
01:28:27,25 --> 01:28:31,19
neighborhood and community and I commend
you on that because I think that before we

1054
01:28:31,20 --> 01:28:35,95
ever talk about locating anything in any
neighborhood or community the impact that

1055
01:28:35,96 --> 01:28:40,26
it has on those neighborhoods is very
important and to allow the neighbors I mean

1056
01:28:40,27 --> 01:28:43,51
we've we've heard neighbors say that
this is a very hard decision for them

1057
01:28:43,52 --> 01:28:47,65
a tough decision they're more concerned
about the students than they are in fact

1058
01:28:47,66 --> 01:28:50,84
for their own conveniences but we also
heard some neighbor saying that they were

1059
01:28:50,85 --> 01:28:55,36
concerned about not only their safety but
the state safety of the students and

1060
01:28:55,37 --> 01:29:00,01
their residents while construction is going
on and so I think it's always important

1061
01:29:00,30 --> 01:29:03,43
to include the people that
things are being zoned

1062
01:29:03,44 --> 01:29:07,66
a reason for and I'm very familiar with
the process when we change comparable of

1063
01:29:07,67 --> 01:29:11,59
our to Springer Boulevard I walk the streets
and talk to everybody on the street

1064
01:29:11,87 --> 01:29:15,44
and so before you even take it to the
Planning Commission you want to make sure

1065
01:29:15,45 --> 01:29:20,07
that you have already hit the neighborhood
and community so busy I thank you for

1066
01:29:20,08 --> 01:29:24,05
kind of redirecting and stop in the process
to make sure that the neighborhood was

1067
01:29:24,06 --> 01:29:28,15
actually involved in it thank
you thank you Dr Whitfield.

1068
01:29:30,75 --> 01:29:36,16
Director director aren't you recognized
police questioned announcement Durch

1069
01:29:36,17 --> 01:29:42,77
computers to do. If you want
your rightful place Thank you.

1070
01:29:45,55 --> 01:29:50,58
I always impressed. How we represent
neighborhoods and I think B.J.

1071
01:29:50,59 --> 01:29:51,48
And Joan do

1072
01:29:51,49 --> 01:29:58,33
a great job there. But I want to
remind people that this master

1073
01:29:58,34 --> 01:30:02,67
facility plan was actually passed by the
school board that was in existence at that

1074
01:30:02,71 --> 01:30:08,64
time on January twenty second two thousand
and fifteen they actually wanted three

1075
01:30:08,65 --> 01:30:12,85
hundred seventy five million dollars to put
it on the side and the milage increase

1076
01:30:12,86 --> 01:30:19,40
at that point. There were forty eight
community forums the selected this

1077
01:30:19,41 --> 01:30:24,88
side so the thought that this is just
haphazardly falling into this side it was

1078
01:30:24,89 --> 01:30:29,88
well thought out there was community
involvement and the amount of money that will

1079
01:30:29,89 --> 01:30:35,30
go into this is less than they were asking
for and there will not be an increase in

1080
01:30:35,31 --> 01:30:40,95
the millage so you know as things
happen and as we work our way through

1081
01:30:43,35 --> 01:30:46,20
as we work our way through things then

1082
01:30:47,17 --> 01:30:51,64
a lot of times because we are diligent
and looking at things like B.J.

1083
01:30:51,65 --> 01:30:56,38
And Joe were on this we end up with a
better product so I think we're in

1084
01:30:56,39 --> 01:31:02,89
a good place all right thank you
Dr Pierce their motion to prove

1085
01:31:03,12 --> 01:31:09,60
so well second May we need
to amend the. Ordinance

1086
01:31:10,51 --> 01:31:14,30
and I think Tom has been working on some
language regarding those parking spaces

1087
01:31:14,58 --> 01:31:19,57
right and the buffer I guess for the
buffer zone after starting clearly was

1088
01:31:19,58 --> 01:31:26,48
included right Dr Whitfield we're finished
with our public discussion I just wanted

1089
01:31:26,49 --> 01:31:30,88
to follow up on something that was not quite
clear but that's fine I will leave it

1090
01:31:30,89 --> 01:31:33,80
as it was thank Meryl it's.

1091
01:31:41,96 --> 01:31:46,87
No our our public discussion is over with
certainly he'll be around and ask him

1092
01:31:46,88 --> 01:31:51,20
a question about that later but I think
he's pointing out historically that there.

1093
01:31:52,83 --> 01:31:58,19
Has been lots of discussion lots of meetings
in the past about this basic piece of

1094
01:31:58,20 --> 01:32:04,39
property. And previous discussions
about what it might cost to build

1095
01:32:04,40 --> 01:32:08,81
a new school there and sounds like as
time has evolved we've been able to be

1096
01:32:09,49 --> 01:32:14,70
a lot more. Effective in
not only constructing

1097
01:32:14,71 --> 01:32:18,80
a school that's going to take care of the
children that we want to take care of but

1098
01:32:18,81 --> 01:32:20,67
also do it without asking for

1099
01:32:20,68 --> 01:32:25,37
a milage increase so that's that's obviously
very some very important to people all

1100
01:32:25,38 --> 01:32:27,17
it does is extend the existing Milledge

1101
01:32:35,99 --> 01:32:40,21
All right Mr Carpenter Yeah put it
at the end a section three and put

1102
01:32:40,22 --> 01:32:44,07
a comma that's the section that deals with
the approval of the final slide plan.

1103
01:32:45,18 --> 01:32:45,83
And just put

1104
01:32:45,84 --> 01:32:52,65
a calming kludging the removal of twenty
four spaces closest to Mavis circle

1105
01:32:53,52 --> 01:32:58,63
and to the extension of the one hundred
foot buffer that was what was discussed by

1106
01:32:58,64 --> 01:33:05,36
Mr poor if he wants to offer those
amendments that's right but it thank you.

1107
01:33:06,50 --> 01:33:11,15
Mr Moore and Mr Carpenter for clarification
and helping clarify what I have already

1108
01:33:11,16 --> 01:33:17,45
agreed to and so I would approve these
amendments to support of the concerns that

1109
01:33:17,46 --> 01:33:21,29
have been brought forth the night and the
District is behind that very good is

1110
01:33:21,30 --> 01:33:23,85
there a motion to amend
the ordinance there's

1111
01:33:23,86 --> 01:33:25,91
a motion to say and to amend
the ordinance that I was

1112
01:33:25,92 --> 01:33:30,68
a Mr Carpenter just recited all in favor
of the motion to amend indicate by saying

1113
01:33:30,69 --> 01:33:37,62
I say nay the motion is passed

1114
01:33:37,63 --> 01:33:44,08
but go ahead director and it's made
and I'm it's you back I think. OK

1115
01:33:44,74 --> 01:33:51,23
Mike question is to attorney conference
Have you talked to Tony drew this up an

1116
01:33:51,24 --> 01:33:57,10
issue I do you have to talk to Tony I have
you talked to Joe and I did talk and. I

1117
01:33:57,11 --> 01:34:02,36
did talk to them about where the language
would be that would accomplish what he

1118
01:34:02,37 --> 01:34:09,04
said that he was offering and he accepted
that I am yes OK that's what I said

1119
01:34:09,40 --> 01:34:15,88
I don't get up and jump cause. You
know I think Director highest

1120
01:34:18,47 --> 01:34:24,25
there at your Richardson do you have

1121
01:34:24,26 --> 01:34:30,34
a comment before we get to
that. One simple matter.

1122
01:34:31,52 --> 01:34:35,75
With respect to the amendment of the parking
issue and they want to my colleagues

1123
01:34:35,76 --> 01:34:40,06
have concerned Pro which direction they
will be parking and can we mandate that was

1124
01:34:40,07 --> 01:34:46,57
signed to say back in the only way. I
mean it just so we know from you know

1125
01:34:46,58 --> 01:34:51,78
a lot of people what that the rector's
preference is. I got to say right in next to

1126
01:34:51,79 --> 01:34:56,100
me when I want to unload it. All right the
question's been called on the ordinance

1127
01:34:57,01 --> 01:34:58,69
is amended and there's

1128
01:34:58,70 --> 01:35:03,79
a second to it all in favor of the approval
of the ordinance is amended on item ten

1129
01:35:03,80 --> 01:35:09,44
indicate by saying I suppose same day
they were in and as amended as passed

1130
01:35:10,68 --> 01:35:17,32
very good. Director Hines.
We are finished with the

1131
01:35:17,75 --> 01:35:24,02
formal agenda mayor have. You
know we did we do I don't know.

1132
01:35:27,03 --> 01:35:32,01
Mayor I have I have three items
I'd like to go over real quick.

1133
01:35:35,01 --> 01:35:41,89
Bruce and mayor. This panhandling in
the median I continue to get calls

1134
01:35:41,90 --> 01:35:46,43
on it discussing with the city attorney
we do already have an ordinance in the

1135
01:35:46,44 --> 01:35:53,20
books that makes it illegal for them to
panhandle you know and I've seen it all

1136
01:35:53,21 --> 01:35:57,98
over the city I travel the city every day
there's no particular corner it's just as

1137
01:35:57,99 --> 01:36:02,29
prevalent west of Iraq as it
is downtown in midtown even

1138
01:36:02,30 --> 01:36:08,32
a Southwest even at Moffat's on Roosevelt.
In fact on the median it's in all

1139
01:36:08,33 --> 01:36:12,37
Parkway in Markham they have more in
the grass off the media I mean it's

1140
01:36:12,38 --> 01:36:18,81
a bare spot for twenty feet. Bruce I'm
asking you in here's the here's the thing

1141
01:36:18,82 --> 01:36:22,36
we've got Norman it's not being
enforced I understand that L R P.D.

1142
01:36:22,37 --> 01:36:28,51
Is busy but they roll by these these
locations daily and I would ask that you

1143
01:36:28,52 --> 01:36:35,32
direct. The chief to order his
officers if they see. If they see

1144
01:36:35,33 --> 01:36:37,96
panhandling going on in the
media and if they're not on

1145
01:36:37,97 --> 01:36:44,42
a call for not headed somewhere to you know
instigate at least getting them off the

1146
01:36:44,43 --> 01:36:51,13
median. And documenting them the other
question is how how do we advise citizens to

1147
01:36:51,14 --> 01:36:56,54
reported that I get reports that they're
becoming aggressive. That they're getting

1148
01:36:56,55 --> 01:37:01,47
in the roadway obstructing traffic so how
would you do they need to call nine one

1149
01:37:01,48 --> 01:37:08,48
one to report it how do we want citizens
to go about reporting it. The second thing

1150
01:37:08,49 --> 01:37:13,07
is you know one of the solutions I want to
have this conversation with folks could

1151
01:37:13,08 --> 01:37:14,93
we put together a P.S.A.

1152
01:37:15,53 --> 01:37:19,53
For panhandling just advising our says and
also the one thing we talked about with

1153
01:37:19,54 --> 01:37:21,84
Tom It's also illegal to give money out of

1154
01:37:21,85 --> 01:37:26,53
a car to somebody in the media crackdown
we've also got enormous on the books for

1155
01:37:26,54 --> 01:37:30,91
that so maybe we need to start writing to
do it both ways write some citations to

1156
01:37:30,92 --> 01:37:34,93
folks if that officer sees it
happening and put out a P.S.A.

1157
01:37:35,29 --> 01:37:39,30
You know these folks would be on the
corner doing this on the median if if they

1158
01:37:39,31 --> 01:37:44,49
weren't getting money and I would advise
we've got several homeless organizations

1159
01:37:44,90 --> 01:37:50,20
that. That work with the homeless and
that's where the money needs to go the most

1160
01:37:50,21 --> 01:37:54,67
of these folks in even had somebody said
that over on that marker mention all their

1161
01:37:54,68 --> 01:37:56,69
fault a guy to his truck got in

1162
01:37:56,70 --> 01:38:01,30
a very nice truck and headed off and on
maybe even some are homeless are doing this

1163
01:38:01,31 --> 01:38:06,52
is a second job or nice way to get
some tax free income but it's reached

1164
01:38:06,53 --> 01:38:10,96
a fever pitch and I don't know why it's
become so heavy it started this winter has

1165
01:38:10,97 --> 01:38:17,19
gotten worse so if we could address that
the other last thing involves nine one one

1166
01:38:17,20 --> 01:38:21,04
and I want to give the credit on this to
our Democrat because that reporter Chelsea

1167
01:38:21,05 --> 01:38:25,45
boozer because she she brought up the idea
on her story about nine one one and long

1168
01:38:25,46 --> 01:38:28,95
wait times could we see about
doing some kind of P.S.A.

1169
01:38:28,96 --> 01:38:35,77
And I'm sure our local. Stations will air
it for us on the fact that when you call

1170
01:38:35,78 --> 01:38:38,49
nine one one to not hang up it may take

1171
01:38:38,50 --> 01:38:42,13
a while for them to answer but they will
answer because the consequences when you

1172
01:38:42,14 --> 01:38:46,51
hang up is our nine one operators are going
to have to follow up by law and call

1173
01:38:46,52 --> 01:38:50,39
back so you know there are some factors
that go when that when you're on

1174
01:38:50,40 --> 01:38:54,06
a cell phone sometimes your cell phone
rings three times before it actually even

1175
01:38:54,07 --> 01:38:58,98
rings in dispatch the other thing is that
if you call in and hang up when you call

1176
01:38:58,99 --> 01:39:03,68
and you call back you're at the end of the
line so if we could advise with our with

1177
01:39:03,69 --> 01:39:05,98
our public works to do some type of P.S.A.

1178
01:39:05,99 --> 01:39:10,88
And get it out there I think it would
help it would help with response times I

1179
01:39:10,89 --> 01:39:11,48
haven't had

1180
01:39:11,68 --> 01:39:15,47
a friend of mine had his car stolen this
weekend I told him to call and I want what

1181
01:39:15,48 --> 01:39:19,84
he did and I had the conversation with him
well I called non-emergency couldn't get

1182
01:39:19,85 --> 01:39:23,53
through so I called nine one one they didn't
answer song up and then they called me

1183
01:39:23,54 --> 01:39:28,16
back and I said quit hanging stay on the
line so I think we need to do some public

1184
01:39:28,17 --> 01:39:34,53
education on nine one one on the panhandling
and you know this goes back to.

1185
01:39:35,88 --> 01:39:42,02
And director Forte's and I were talking
about how New York City used to be. Crime

1186
01:39:42,03 --> 01:39:47,52
ridden infested and what they did when
they started out was. Started out and

1187
01:39:47,53 --> 01:39:52,95
forcing the little laws the little things
spin on the street literally that kind of

1188
01:39:52,96 --> 01:39:56,40
thing and I know our police officers are
busy and they think they've got higher

1189
01:39:56,41 --> 01:40:01,76
priorities but. I think it leads to
greater greater causes of we're going to

1190
01:40:01,77 --> 01:40:06,51
tolerate panel in the media and you know
it is it leads to other things and I think

1191
01:40:06,52 --> 01:40:10,54
we just need to I think our citizens are
is requesting it and I would say everybody

1192
01:40:10,55 --> 01:40:15,19
up here has probably heard from folks
we're hearing it from our citizens that

1193
01:40:15,20 --> 01:40:20,34
they're getting accosted at the at the
travel center by homeless people panhandling

1194
01:40:20,35 --> 01:40:25,69
So I think I think we need to do some
to address it. Appreciated thanks

1195
01:40:27,46 --> 01:40:34,22
director right and she's the director
Hendricks you next please. Director

1196
01:40:34,23 --> 01:40:40,88
right thank you Mr Moore while you were
out I requested that the right away crew

1197
01:40:41,56 --> 01:40:48,08
cutting clean along thirty six Street
and it is people cannot use the few

1198
01:40:48,60 --> 01:40:53,52
feet of sidewalks that we do ham
and I need it cooked cleaned.

1199
01:40:55,40 --> 01:41:00,68
From or par road at
least down to Katherine

1200
01:41:02,38 --> 01:41:05,88
you she's grown up sidewalks
you cannot No probably walk on

1201
01:41:05,89 --> 01:41:08,67
a snake walk there like
that because we have

1202
01:41:08,68 --> 01:41:12,55
a lot of people that walk to that grocery
store if we want to walkable community

1203
01:41:12,56 --> 01:41:13,36
yet we don't provide

1204
01:41:13,82 --> 01:41:18,62
a safe way for them to walk to the store
and I would also like for your public

1205
01:41:18,63 --> 01:41:22,52
works staff to give me a
cost analysis for including

1206
01:41:22,53 --> 01:41:27,47
a pedestrian walkway across that bridge
at Rock Creek because I'm seeing more

1207
01:41:27,48 --> 01:41:32,84
people in wheelchairs trying to get to the
other side so that they can get down to

1208
01:41:32,90 --> 01:41:36,43
the City Market grocery store it's like

1209
01:41:36,44 --> 01:41:41,54
a cost analysis on that and it prompted
by what was imagined tonight on the the

1210
01:41:41,55 --> 01:41:48,45
amount of money to replace the bridge
the other bridge here. Think that

1211
01:41:48,49 --> 01:41:52,62
on the right avenue if we can pay for that
when we can at least we can pay for them

1212
01:41:52,63 --> 01:41:58,36
one on thirty six street people need to
have access to the grocery store nearby he

1213
01:41:58,37 --> 01:41:59,71
doesn't have a car and

1214
01:41:59,72 --> 01:42:04,95
a lot of people do walk down there and I'd
like the sidewalks to be extended from

1215
01:42:04,96 --> 01:42:09,97
that bridge down to connect to where city
market is and that would get people out

1216
01:42:09,98 --> 01:42:16,92
of the street holding up the traffic also.
I saw the report that you gave on the

1217
01:42:17,01 --> 01:42:23,49
on the bus service at car. Whose
responsibility is it to have SAD walks

1218
01:42:23,53 --> 01:42:30,45
down from barrel roll to the car tabulating
is that our responsibility to provide

1219
01:42:30,46 --> 01:42:34,91
the infrastructure for that because that
was mentioned in the memo that there was

1220
01:42:34,92 --> 01:42:40,47
no way for people to even walk down there
and if it is our responsibility I'd like

1221
01:42:40,48 --> 01:42:45,97
a cost estimate as to what it
would take and also some type of.

1222
01:42:47,95 --> 01:42:53,19
Assessment of how much it
would be used do we have

1223
01:42:53,53 --> 01:42:58,52
a lot of people that need to walk that way
I know we've heard from folks the saying

1224
01:42:58,53 --> 01:43:04,62
that the bus doesn't drop them off there
but. I need to be able to compare what

1225
01:43:04,63 --> 01:43:09,06
it's going to cause with the amount of
usage so I appreciate that thank you.

1226
01:43:12,36 --> 01:43:17,81
Director accurate you know please may I
add like that the board to come Saturday

1227
01:43:17,82 --> 01:43:21,16
and Sunday to Southwest community
center we're going to have

1228
01:43:21,17 --> 01:43:25,85
a consulate there will be seeing several
hundred people and I think you all would

1229
01:43:25,86 --> 01:43:31,93
enjoy coming in seeing how we assist several
hundred people with things that they

1230
01:43:31,94 --> 01:43:36,45
need from the concept from Guatemala I know
some of the busy Sunday afternoon with

1231
01:43:36,46 --> 01:43:42,97
the affair that is invalid You Tube after
you go to that if you can please come by

1232
01:43:42,98 --> 01:43:48,71
Southwest community center and see what's
happening thank you one side of that

1233
01:43:48,72 --> 01:43:52,80
since Spanish and one side's in
English so maybe everybody can read

1234
01:43:57,17 --> 01:44:01,50
trainer she just turned
herself. Turned it off.

1235
01:44:04,22 --> 01:44:10,84
I. Know if you just won't touch it OK
here's what I'm looking at the last line of

1236
01:44:11,77 --> 01:44:15,69
that Mr I'm getting ready to
mention what's what I have

1237
01:44:15,70 --> 01:44:21,43
a question OK. Just for. Me Because

1238
01:44:22,35 --> 01:44:26,15
a lot of people do watch this indirect
riches and have some very specific questions

1239
01:44:26,16 --> 01:44:32,39
about how we advertise and get the
word out when our bid mentioned

1240
01:44:32,40 --> 01:44:37,86
a few of them but the other ones are we
use Arkansas Miss Mississippi minority

1241
01:44:37,87 --> 01:44:42,76
supplier development council we sent all
our bids to them we also sent it to the

1242
01:44:42,77 --> 01:44:47,22
southern regional minority supplier development
council and we also sent all of our

1243
01:44:47,23 --> 01:44:54,11
business to director
Hendricks. Since. It's just

1244
01:44:54,67 --> 01:44:57,02
today since you asked about

1245
01:44:57,03 --> 01:45:03,06
a year ago probably. Must be something wrong
with your computer direct interest as

1246
01:45:03,07 --> 01:45:09,42
we send them out. You know what
I don't use it but thank. You

April eleventh for the purpose of the
finishing up the city attorney valuation.

following. We'll try the following me
