ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ward Wimbish, Director of Economic Development addressed the Council. He announced he would be
leaving soon and wanted to take this opportunity to update the council on a couple of things. In two
weeks, he will be taking a similar position for the City of Eugene, Springfield and Lane County in Oregon.
To update the council, he said for the fourth year in a row West Memphis won marketing awards at the
annual Southern Economic Development Council Conference. He also wanted the Council to know that
by the next City Council Meeting he should have the agreement for the eleven million dollar Tiger Grant
ready to go back on the agenda for approval after it was taken off several times for revisions to be made.
This grant will be for upgrading our existing 2.5 miles of industrial rail, to acquire 44 acres of property
along the rail, and to build a Trans Load facility there. The next item that will need the Council's approval
will be to approve the revised contract with the engineering firm for this project. The contract was
previously approved by the City Council, but now needs approval with the revisions. Mr. Wimbish said
he really loved working for the City of West Memphis, Mayor Johnson, and the City Council.
Councilor McClendon asked Mayor Johnson to check into spraying to kill the grass on the lot where
Mayfair Apartments were torn down.
Having no further business to come before the City Council, Councilor Harris moved, seconded by
Councilor Taylor to adjourn. Upon voice vote, the voting was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at
1:45 p.m.
PASSED and APPROVED this 15th day of September, 2016.
