RLS/wa ,-- An Enuril Opportunity Employer City Attorney STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE BY MAYOR LEO CHITMAN 1985 and 1986 TO: THE WEST MEMPHIS CITY COUNCIL AND CITIZENS toe By law, the Mayor of cities of the First Class is required to give a report on the state of the City affairs and outline programs for the coming year. The Mayor may also report to the City Council on the conditions of the city affairs and make any recommendations that he deems advisable in accor- dance with Arkansas Statute 19-1013. The following is a report that the Mayor make to the West Memphis City Council and the Budget Committee on November 27, 1985 the proposed budget for 1986. As of November 27, 1985, I am pleased to present you with the Pro- posed Budget for 1986 in compliance with Act 28 of 1959 for the operation of all departments in the City based upon anticipated revenues and proposed ex- penditures for 1986 is being presented to the West Memphis City Council and iliT Budget Committee. This budget is in the amount of $25,000,000 plus in view, of limited revenues, the Mayor was not in a position to propose a salary increase for personnel during this budget preparation, however, should there be revenue sufficient to consider salaries a new source of revenue as proposed by the City Council and then salaries and other vital needs will be considered as deem necessary for our City Council and Citizens. We were able to provide fringe benefits at a continued level without a substantial cost to personnel . The Mayor is requesting that the Budget Committee Chairperson and the City Council when reviewing the Budget that the Mayor and the Department Headc be advised by the Budget Ccmmittee cf it revision in the budget and that li, consideration be given by the Mayor and Department in reference to dollar amounts that needs to be added or deleted from said departments budget. This will allow the Mayor and Department Heads that are affected to explain the impact that the addition or reduction will have on said department's ability to render services as departmental responsibilities. The Budget Committee has asked to please advise the Mayor if assistance is needed for scheduling budget hearings with department heads. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -2- January 13, 1986 In preparing the Budget for this city and 1986, the Mayor has determined what services will be performed and what departments will be needed, what purchases will be made, the number of salaried employees and in general , the framework for rendering municipal services to the people, and where the finances of court, those services will come from. The City Council shall on or before February 1st of each year adopt a budget for operation of the City, of course, the Council can amend the Mayor's budget or reject it or draw up another one. Once a budget has been adopted it constitutes an appropriation. Then the Mayor has the job of administering the budget. One of the principal ways to administer the budget is through department heads with definite plans of improvements and work schedules. Another way the Mayor has for administering the budget for the city is through purchases under Act 28 of 1959. The Mayor of Cities of the First class is a purchasing agent for the City. The Mayor may also sell or exchange any supplies, material or equipments. (OW Of course, the budget can be admended from time to time, and additional employees authorized or additional purchases authorized. The Budget can be revised aslo by reducing the number of employees authorized and to cancel a proposed purchase not needed. Most cities revise their budgets at least once a year, and around July 1 , and other revise their budgets three or four times a year. I am pleased to report to our Council and Citizens of West Memphis that our 1985 budget, we were able to operate with providing the services according to the revenues without over expending the budget that was anticipated for the year, 1985. The Mayor proposed a budget consisting of all departments or the former departments as were previously operated, without reduction in personnel which was presented to the City Council prior to the February deadline date. The Mayor proposed ?. balanced budget based on rnticipated revenues , .however, there may be some members of the City Council that would question whether or not I presented a balanced budget. I asked members of the Council whether or not the city is insolvent? The Mayor's answer to this question is that the city is solvent and the budget is balanced based on anticipated revenues. If at such times it is of the opinion of the Mayor that revenues is not sufficient to meet the services, that appropriate adjustments, reductions will be made and a report made to the City Council and Citizens as to our status. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -3 January 13, 1986 I am pleased to say that with this Administration tenure in office that in the past three years we have provided an increase in salaries to personnel across the board without substantial increase in revenues , somethings maybe bought to the attention of our citizens and Council members that if we continue to provide the same services without an increase in new revenues at a cost of additional supplies means that there must be a reduction and that is where the administration will make the appropriate kinds of adjustments and recommend to the City Council and citizens what their wishes and desires for services may be. I bring to your attention to the year 1987, we are recipients of Revenue Sharing Funds and based on the Act of Congress, as Proposed by the President of these United States to reduce revenue sharing in the year 1987. The City of West Memphis enjoys receiving revenue sharing funds in the excess of $500,000 per year. I raise this question for our citizens and members of our city council in West Memphis, What would we do to replace the $500,000 that we will no longer receive for revenue sharing. These funds are basis in the departments of the tawFire Deparmtent and Police Department. This is a question that if we do not have funds to replace those there are no longer coming to our city we must make appropriate reductions in the services that are being provided. It is not the desire of this administration to give you less services that you deserve or demand but I must in terms administer the city in accordance with the laws of this state and it must be that in terms that we not enter into deficit finance therefore, I administer this budget with the approval and direction of the Council under the operation of budget procedures. I shall talk with you in regards, to the departments that this city employs services from an they are in the area of some twenty three departments with sub-departments which are major league parts of the Utility Departments that I will be talking with you about in the basis of this report about the Mayors State of the City Address to the Council and its citizens. I am pleased to report to the Citizens of West Memphis that the budget for 1985, was administered by some 300 employees for which I will give you a break down concerning the various persons that have assisted as far as administrators fo the budget for 1986. I shall give you a summary of the reports of activities for 1985. Beginning with the various topics we have STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -4- January 13, 1986 our City Council which consist of a ten member Council that meets approximately twenty four (24) times out of 12 months or more in order to govern the activities of the city's business. Following the City Council , the Office of the Mayor, which consists of three members that are responsible for the administrative duties of the city and various other departments. This Department has been without a Switchboard Operator for a portion of 1985 of which it may not reflect a total amount according to the budget that was in the previous year. I wish to inform the Citizens that in view of review of the budgets and the cost of living. The City Council saw fit to increase certain positions, that of the City Council Members as well as the Mayor's Salary in keeping with those comfortable size cities. These happened in a number of other departments as well as changes were concerned. The City Clerk's Office, I will report to you that consist of three members and have responsibilities of collecting funds for the entire city.

The City's 1% Tax collections for the year, 1985 total $261 ,435.00. 1985 Ambulance Fee Collections total $61 ,904.00. Two employees take care of all the work in the City Clerk's Office, and the general work of collecting all the money for the City is still the duty of this office. That is the City Clerk's responsibility as well as record keeping and other duties as assigned. Our City Attorney certainly has been involved in providing our legal counsel as well as prosecuting cases that have been brought to the courts by our Police Department. This has been done with a staff of three people; one, City Attorney; one, Assistant City Attorney and one, Secretary. There have been numerous litigation that the City Attorney has been involved in representing the city as well as utilizing outside legal counsel in reference to the various kinds of litigation that has been brought against the City. The record will indicate further as fas as there is a need for additional report. The Code Enforcement Office was recently filled by Mr. Charlie George. This office consists of three employees of which this office was not completely staffed with three employees until near mid-year. I am pleased to report, The Code Enforcement Office progress report for 1985 shows a number of permits issued for a total of 2,244 and a total dollar amount of $39,194.54.

The Finance Director had assisted in a number of activities. The Finance Department consists of seven employees and these seven employees assist in finances for an accounting for the complete city government. This is a job that takes considerable time. These employees are the ones that account for the $24,000,000 and the $25,000,000 plus budget that we have proposed for this year as well as the past year. Our audit reports have been those that have been found acceptable by the legislative audit commitee of state government.

Excessive downtime due to hardware failure was encountered during the last quarter of the year. The Date Communication Network grew to 22 terminals and 6 remote printers. Four terminals and 2 printers were added in 1985. In reviewing the year, it is felt that some of the department's most significant accomplishments were: 1 .

This system will be installed during the first quarter, of 1986. A feasability study was undertaken to determine if the main fire station should be added to our Data Communications Network. If approve, this will be done sometimes next year. In summary, 1985 was a busy year in the Data Processing Department. If approved, we anticipate the new computer, with it's additional capacity, will allow us to continue to offer increased services to other departments in the City Government. The following is a report of the West Memphis Police Department. lok The Department consisted of 61 slots for employees out of the 61 slots forty nine officers were budgeted for the Calendar year, 1985, as of January 1 , 1985.

The following you have heard is a brief summary of the Police Department activities and there are many other activities that follows but this part of the report is available for additional information. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -8- January 13, 1986 The West Memphis Fire Department has a total of 45 employees that provide fire services to the citizens of West Memphis, Arkansas and they are the ones that are included in the budget with regards to the proposed budget for 1986 as well as the budget just completed for 1985. I am pleased to report that the City is now moving 911 telephone that is available from the West Memphis Police Department to the West Memphis Fire Depart- ktifrment, this was approved by the Mayor as of January 6, 1986. The reason for this request is that the insurance rating office cannot give credit toward the city's fire rating with this line at the Police Department. By moving this line and with other improvements planned hopefully, we can insure either a better raing or at least be able to maintain our present rating. The expense for moving this line will be paid from the fire department budget. These are the recommendations with regards to the 911 telephone lines for emergency services. Other activities in the Fire Department include those persons that were hired. We have broken additional new grounds of the hiring on the basis of equal opportunity. We have hired at least two or more females in the Fire Department that work with the Emergency Medical Services, or work with the to, radio operation services as such as a result these are the kind of things that will show in relation to fire services. The Fire Department made a total of 551 runs in 1985. This is a slight decrease in total runs over 1984. 286 out of this had a monetary loss, the remainder had no monetary loss and usually consist of grass fires, false alarms and calls for assistance for a variety of other reasons. In comparing monetary loss calls since 1983, this is a decrease of over 100 calls. For the first time in several years, in 1985 we had no fire related deaths, within the City of West Memphis. As compared to 1984 our monetary loss due to fires, within the City of West Memphis, was reduced by over a $117,000.00. to civilians has been reduced b Since 1983 fire related injuries .y over 50%. This is a portion that have to do with the Fire (Department fire services. But of great concern is the fact that injuries to firefighters in the line of duty has increased by 50%. This could be directly related to the decrease in manpower from three firefighters on a company to two STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -9- January 13, 1986 firefighters. Two firefighter companies are not viable and present added risk to the firefighters at a fire scene. The fire department now has all civilian operators for the radio room. They now serve not only as dispatchers, but typists and varied other duties. By using civilian dispatchers, the city is saving several thousand dollars. Emergency Medical Services which is a part of the Fire Department Report is included. A New modular ambulance was purchased in 1985, as well as a cardiac monitor and defibrillator. On March 11 , 1985 at 0700, the City of West Memphis begain its first ever Paramedic service and in just six short months the results were very real . Our resusitation rate went from under five percent to over fifty percent. These are pretty significant numbers, because we are referring to human lives. On January 1 , 1985, we began using the services of data processing to bill the patients who use our services and the results have been significant in that we nearly doubled our collections over the period of a year ago. lir Our9 oal for 1985 was for a fifty percent collection rate, which is considered very good in the industry as far as emergency medical services. We achieved that goal in 1985. The ambulances answered nearly 1200 calls in 1985, a 25% increase over 1984 and a 40% increase over 1983. We now have three paramedics and three EMT-A's permanently assigned to the ambulances. We have two paramedics who are lieutenants in the fire service and serve as reliefs for our regular paramedics. In addition, we now have 18 trained EMT-A' s who are assigned to the pumpers and serve on the back up ambulance. Our average cost per run in 1985 was $155.83, our average cost per run in 1986 is projected to be $125.83. This completes the Emergency Medical Services report which is a part of the Fire Department' s report. In addition to the Emergency Medical Services report this number of permanently assigned persons to the Emergency Medical consist of five (5) employees that have responsibilities for Emergency Medical Services , the others are fire personnel that are assigned to work with them. STATE OF THE -CITY MESSAGE -10- January 13, 1986 The West Memphis Municipal Court in our budget for 1985 as well as 1986 consist of seven employees which includes the Municipal Judge as well . This department has provided services to the City as well as to the County with legal cases that have been presented for both city police department county police department as well as State and other law enforcement agencies. This Municipal division has committed to the Sheriff Department $225,376.70 for 1985 and has committed to the West Memphis Police Department $125,725.88 p P case wise this represent for the State Docket 2,113 cases for the city's docket 1 ,117 cases. This has kept the Municipal Court as well as the Judge busy with regards to legal matters. We are proposing if funds become available to add or consider adding the court system to the Computer program as well as to purchase a small computer for the West Memphis Police Department that will enable this department to retrive information much faster than what has been in the past. There is additional reports and information that is available concerning the West Memphis Municipal Court in as much as the Judge and staff work with not only cases from the City but from the County as well as the State. thr Parks and Recreation. There are two full time employees for the Parks and Recreation Department, the other members are part time employees that are assigned generally during the summer months. The Parks and Recreation Department wishes to report the following for your consideration. In 1985 the Parks Commission was basisly still on a limited maintenance budget. Because of this thereEre still many areas in the Park system needing additional repairs and or replacements. New playground equipment is needed, new working equipment, additional land for ball fields, additional labor, shop building for work area, new light poles and fixtures at two (2) fields, D.O. Whitaker and Whitley plus major ground repair in many areas. Our baseball and softball leagues were still active in 1985. There were over ", one hundred organized teams in the City with ages ranging from 5 to 6 years olds (T ball ) to adult softballers. Tennis activity also was up. Ron Bran a Young Tennis Professional from Memphis initiated a lot of interest at the Airport Road Park Complex because of the tournaments he held, the free clinics for both youth and adult and lessons that were held. Additionally two district high school tournaments STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -11- January 13, 1986 were held there - the 7AA and 4AAAA consisting of some 20 teams. These are some of the activities in addition to a number of others that went on during the summer program that was provided at the facilities that were provided by the Park Department. There is a desire to provide more as funds become available in order to provide those facilities and activities for those citizens that desire a better program of recreational activities. tor The Street Department consist of 15 employees that are full time. This. is the number of slots that are aouthorized. The Report that I wish to give' you at•,this time for 1985, this year the Street Department operated with a crew of 13 employees. Summer youths were used during the summer months to cut the rights of way and ditches and any other activities that were eligible during summer months for youth employment. Throughout the year the Street Department responsibilities are to do patch work with concrete and asphlat on the street shoulders, filling potholes on city streets, leveling and clearing of ditches and repairing of all storm drains, as well as many other duties that are not listed that are required by ordinances of our city. The Sign shop maintain the posting and repairing of all street signs and street markers within the City of West Memphis, Arkansas. The Street Sweeper is used for the up-keep of all streets within the city limits. Stripping of all school crossing and turning lanes is one of the the street department duties. During 1985 the Street Department purchased a street sweeper, dump truck and a used asphalt roller. During 1985, through the efforts of the Mayor, through the efforts of the Community Development Agency and others the city was able to obtain an EDA grant in excess of $880,000 for the process of improving Rainer Road, that I am pleased to inform members of theCity Council and the City that our contract has peen approved during our recent meeting of the City Council and we have been informed by the Office of EDA that they can concur in the application that was received that we will let a partial contract in excess of $500,000 to began work at a date to be announced in regards to contract work for Rainer Road. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -12- January 13, 1986 Rainer Road and Airport Roads will be improved in segments which has to do with the southern part of Airport Road south of Highway 70 as well as North of Highway 70 on Airport Road between North of Highway 70 and Interstate 40 west. Thses segments sections of the roadway is anticipated to be improved in cooperation with the City, the County of Crittenden, 1160 Arkansas Highway Department and the Federal Urban Transit System. We are working to improve that with the benefits of those activities in the Street Departments. In addition to the Street Department's report, this year as we look back at our accomplishments we appreciate the handicap ramps that we built at the Civic Center, Police Department and City Hall in order to enable citizens that have handicapping conditions to be able to utilize these buildings to be able to enter and exit safely. This is the desire of the Street Department to work to improve for 1986 the services of the Citizens of West Memphis, certainly with the increase in the sales tax for gasoline this is accounting for an increase in revenue for the Street Department which is anticipated that this will allow additional street improvements that the City Council will be able to expand the number tip of miles that have been improved of our city streets are in bad need of repair but lack adequate funds to complete the work. Our next report deals with the City Shop which maybe referred to as Fleet Maintenance. This department has seven authorized employees and they provide the services for all city vehicles with the exception of the Utility Commission. The report of the City Shop is as follows: The City Shop performs maintenance work for six departments. The shop works on equipment ranging in size from lawnmowers to bulldozers. In addition to the maintenance work, the shop oversees the gasoline pumps which all city department with the exception of the Utility Department uses 24 hours per day. A daily report on all fuel and oil used is made each day There are over twenty police cars, nine garbage and trash trucks, two overhead loading garbage trucks, one bull dozer, one roadgrader and one front end loader. All all of these up , pick up trucks, compresors and lawnmowers and you can see that the shop is busy during the activity of a year in order to maintain the appropriate maintenance in order to keep this equipment operational . STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -13- January 13, 1986 In any given month the shop spends over $4,000.00 for parts and over $5,000.00 on gasoline and diesel fuel . This may seem to be a large amount but when you maintain over 70 pieces of equipment and the cost per vehicle is averaged out it is not such a great amount. When one considers the Police Cars are used continuously for eight hours and garbage and trash trucks the same, problems can and do occur on a frequent basis, with the problems of keeping up the equipment the city is fortunate to have a competent Shop staff who is working to improve this as we in terms are able to sercure the appropriate equipment and recommend change out on obsolete equipment in order that we might be able to operate this department in a manner that is less costly to the city. As the city grows so do the demands on the city equipment. The garbage trucks must haul more garbage and trash over longer distances, police cars must operate on more streets. The streets must be cleaned and repaired, ditches and storm drains must be cleaned out and the vehicles and machines, must be there for the employees to perform their various jobs. The cost of equipment goes up yearly as does the cost of maintenance. It is important that we keep costs down as much ti, as possible wfnile performing the best possible maintenance that are available to us. The shop is probably the least known department in the city, but its importance is felt througout the city and we hopethat we will not be overlooked the impact the shop has on the city's day to day operation. The following is a report from the Sanitation Department. This department has received much criticism yet it is a vital necessity to the City with regards to health and safety of our city. This department has authorized 38 employees considerable less employees have been had in previous years yet the size of the city has grown for demands for services have increased. The Mayor has proposed a budget for 1986 for maintaining the Sanitation Department is operated by the uity for wnat is felt by the acim i ni s Lrati on is all adequate staff. 41, The following are reports that have been made to the City Council and to citizens by way of the local cablevision of West Memphis and I shall review a part of that report for you as well as a report for the Sanitation Depart- ment. To replace the following means of equipment that are causing the department their financial problems. The department is currently operating two rear-end-loader garbage trucks STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -14- Janaury 13, 1986 that has cost the following up to May, 1985 in maintenance and are seven (7) years old, $24,601 .08. The department currently operates four (4) rear-end-loader garbage trucks that has cost the following up to May, 1985 in maintenance and are nine (9) years old, $74,558.61 . The department currently operates one (1 ) rear-end-loader garbage truck that has cost the following up to May, 1985 in maintenance and is ten (10) years old, $22,233.65. The old equipment has cost us in the Sanitation Department a total of $121 ,393.34. This is what obsolete equipment has cost in order to try to maintain and keep the equipment operating without back up equipment. I propose the following for your consideration: We need your help, the City Council as well as the Citizens: A. We need an additional nine (9) full time employees in the Sanitation Department in order to provide the services that you need and are demanding. 1 . Five (5) of the above employees would be placed on a new established residential garbage route. 2. Three (3) of the above new employees would be used as extras, in order ILw to maintain full crews at all times to allow for the average absentee rate of 6.8% in this department for such things as: (illness, vacation, business, compensatory time, and etc. ) 3. One (1 ) of the above new employees will be used on the additional overhead truck that we need to purchase to serve the 300 dumpsters that we have placed with customers for apartment and commercial use. The dumpster demand has increased from 300 to 300 to this date. B. In order for the City to serve the residential needs of the city we will need to place an order for atleast two (2) rear-end-loader garbage trucks, in order to replace the old out dated equipment that was mentioned above at a cost of ($45,000-$55,000) as funds become available. I wish to remind our citizens and members of the City Council that the Sanitation Department funds only come after services have been provided and there are times when those funds are not given especially when there is a write off these acccounts which are not collectable. This department operates on funds that come in this department only not from general revenues. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -15- January 13, 1986 C. In order for this City to serve the commercial and apartment needs of this city we will need to place an order for atleast one (1 ) overhead truck at a cost of $70,000 - $80,000 as funds become available. D. For your information the Sanitation Department is currently serving approximately 8,022 residential customers as opposed to a lesser number (7,328) in 1982. E. In order to be certain about our sanitation needs, I have mentioned to the Sanitation Commission, and the City Council the need for a feasibility study of the Sanitation Department. This recommendation has received no support from the Sanitation or the City Council . In my opinion, such recommendation would remove speculation by our customers. We, are currently serving some 10,343 residential and commmercial customers, as opposed to 9,196 in 1982. F. The Sanitation Commission and the City Council need to decide if the city will continue to operate the sanitation department or place your sanitation services up for bids. A definite decision will allow for appropriate planning for the future needs of West Memphis as a growth potential and as part )of Arkansas. This definite decision will enable employees that are in the Sanitation Department to feel at ease and to feel as though they have some job security and be able to tilowwork and provide for their families and provide for their welfare without worrying as to whether or not one week, one month, or one year, that they may not have a job due to the uncertainty that is proposed by the present conditions of our status. The Mayor propose that the department be funded and I am so recommending in the budget for 1986. G. Crittenden County, has been directed by EPA to develop an approved landfill . Will WEst Memphis Be included in these landfill plans? Are questions that I propose. We, need your help, West Memphis need your help, and as Mayor of the City I need your help, in order to help make West Memphis a better place to live, work, relax, and educate our youth. Please, join with us in showiny i.he positive things that we all know about West Memphis. This is what I shared with the West Memphis citizens back in June, 1985. The report of the Sanitation Department is as follows in addition, the Sanitation Department operates with 37 employees whereas in the past there have been CETA workers and part time workers. The department operates five (5) garbage trucks, two over head trucks, and two trash trucks. While in the past years more equip- STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -16- January 13, 1986 ment was used with less garbage and trash pick ups. Although this year, we have purchased two garbage trucks with the old trucks being used as standbys. We have not been able to add another route because of more man power needs that have not been approved by the City Council and are indicating there are too many employees in the department that presently exist. to, This summer trash pick up was rescheduled for once a month and garbage pick up one and one half times a week due to the heavy load and fewer laborers, whereas picking up trash over the 135 miles more or less in streets in West Memphis with two trash trucks is a monumental task. he trash volume is so large that we cannot give the same trash service that the city provided when the Sanitation Department worked six (6) days a week and worked many hours ov overtime as well as on Sundays that the demand dictated. In 1986, we are looking forward to a better year with additional laborers and favorable weather, and better working conditions. The Sanitation Department will continue to serve our citizens according to the needs that they demand if provided adequate man power and equipments to do the job that is necessary. The next report is that of the Library. The West Memphis Library consist of five (5) employees which are full time staff. Currently, the Library is now without a head librarian and we are currently seeking to fill that position that remains four employees that are at the Library; the main library and the branch library in the City. Efforts are being made to fulfill the vacancy. The West Memphis Civic Complex has six employees and this department includes the Civic Auditorium and the Eugene Woods Community Center, enjoyed more than a 15% increase in usage. At the City Auditorium seventy-six contracts were written which translated into 246 days of operation over and - above the normal eight hour work day. The types of events that were presented ran the gamut of entertainment and information. These events included every- thing from Fine Arts presentations to Circuses from School Choirs and Band concerts to Country and Western and Gospel programs. An average of over 600 citizens and visitors a week enjoyed the facilities of the Auditorium. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -17- January 13, 1986 The Eugene Woods Community Center continues to be the prime facility for meetings and gatherings in West Memphis. The twenty-one year old building host an average of 120 programs a month. Many civic groups call the building home. Also, in 1985 both buildings working as the West Memphis Convention to, Complex welcomed several exciting new groups to West Memphis. One of the highlights was the State of Arkansas Convention for the Church of God of Prophesy, which brought over 1500 visitors into our city for a week's stay. The event was so successful , they will be back again in 1986. The West Memphis Utilitiy Department is the largest commission and one of the city's largest departments which consist of approximately 70• positions. This department provides electrical services, metering department, water and electric, utility plant, administrative offices and Wastewater treatment as well as the Sewer Treatment Plant. The Utility completed an implemented an Industrial Pretreatment Monitoring Program which was started in 1979. Utility started construction on a new Wastewater Treatment Plant for West Memphis which has been under consideration for in excess of 11 years. th, Utility negotiated, with a consultant, a new peaking power contract with AP&L, this contract will save approximately $3,000,000 per year for the next five (5) years. Grand Gulf was resolved by the FERC and allocations of cost were made to all parties, West Memphis share was approximately the same amount of the savings as the peaking power contract so no rate increase was necessary. Utility gross revenue will exceed $20,000,000 in 1985, this is highest on record and was accomplished with basically the same number of employees that have been utilized in past years. The commercial accounts on Mound City Road were provided sewer service, this area even though in the City had never been on the city system. The pump station for this area was built by utility personnel at a considerable savings to the city. The utility building received extensive roof repairs, new paint outside and new carpet. First renovation in 16 years. The interior of utility building was painted by some of the employees at no additional cost to the city. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -18- January 13, 1986 The Community Development Agency - The activities below were untaken during 1985 by the Community Development Agency of West Memphis. The Community Planning and Development Division - This division administers the Community Development Block Grant program, the Rental Rehabilitation Program, and performs all planning activities for theAgency. Approximately $625,000 was received during 1985 from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment (HUD) and the Arkansas State Highway Department (ASH&TD) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to administer these programs. Public Facilities Improvements - The South 16th Street, North 9th Street and Hulbert Area Site Improvements Projects were contracted in June, 1985. This $386,650 project resulted in street, drainage and utility improvements. The project is 95% complete as of December 31 , 1985. Demolition and Clearance- The demolition and Clarence of 35 dilapidated structures was completed. These demolitions were undertaken in the north- east, southeast, and Hulbert areas of West Memphis. A total of $17,206 was expended during 1985 under this program. Housing Rehabilitation - The rehabilitation of 35 houses located through- tio, out the city was undertaken. The financial assistance provided by the Agency consisted of grant/loans to low income owner occupants. Through the use of approximately $120,000 in federal funds , approximately $70,000 in private funds was generated for housing improvements. The Agency contracted for the rehabilitation of 7 housing units under the Rental Rehabilitation Program which provides a zero interest loan to eligible owners and a Section 8 Certificate or Voucher to eligible low income tenants. The loans may be made for 50 percent of the rehabilitation cost not to exceed $5,000.00. The Agency initiated the planning activities associated with the pre- paration of a new comprehensive plan for West Memphis. This work will be done entirely by the Agency staff. Work was also initiated on a new zoning ordinance and subdivision code which is being done in conjunction with the Agency staff, a planning consultant, the West Memphis Planning Commission, and the City of West Memphis. STATE OF THE CITY MESSAGE -19- January 13, 1986 The close out procedures for the HUD-funded Small Cities Program and State administered Small Cities Program were completed. These two grants brought approximately $1 ,000,000 into the local economy and resulted in street improve- ments and housing improvements within the city. The independent audit showed no adverse findings in either program. An application was prepared and submitted for Airport Road and Rainer Road Industrial Street Improvement Project. The actual project improvements set forth in the application, which was subsequently funded by the Economic Development Administration in conjunction with the ASH&TD, FHWA, City of West Memphis, and Crittenden County, will begin in early 1986. The Agency prepared the recertification of eligibility for the City of West Memphis under the Urban Development Action Grant program. The city is now eligible to participate in this public-private partnership program through November, 1986. Applications for three areas under the Arkansas Enterprise Zone Program were prepared by the Agency. All three applications were approved by the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission. Transportation Planning Activities were administered by the Metropolitan tiowPlanning Organization (MPO) through the Agency. The MPO coordinates all transportation related activities and planning within the West Memphis - Marion area and is funded through the ASH&TD. The primary projects undertaken during 1985 were the replacement of theRich Road bridge, the traffic signalization program, and the accident monitoring and analysis activities. The Housing Division administers the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program designed to provide persons of very low income with decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Approximately $528,613 was received during 1985 from HUD under this program. Section 8 Program has been approved for 220 housing assistance Certificates and 4 vouchers which will provide rent subsidies. Currently, 30 percent of the hcusehulds receiving assistance are made .up of elderly persons and SO per- cent are headed by women. The assisted units are dispersed throughout West Memphis. These are the activities that are in part but not the complete State of the City Message but a portion of these activities for your consideration at this time. , • STATE QF THE CITY MESSAGE -20- January 13, 1986 I wish to present this State of the City Address for your consideration and thank you very kindly for your consideration.
