Supt. Odell Slaughter the repairs at Tilden Rogers Park are almost complete. They are doing general cleanup
work of cleaning up leaves and ditches. Sanitation Supt. Leroy Turner reported we have received the new front
end loader. They talked about what could be done to make community awareness regarding the matter of illegal
dumping. They are cleaning several dump sites throughout the city that people are dumping tires and debris.
City Engineer Phillip Sorrell reported, other than what was taken care of at this meeting, the Ingram Blvd project is
under review at the State Highway Department. A signal improvement project is underway which will make the
traffic flow on Broadway much better.
Airport Commission -Councilor Robinson reported Airport Engineer Stacey Morris reported AIP#22 (the design
phase of Taxiway A rehabilitation) is on schedule for a March 28"' bid date. Work has begun on the drainage
project on the west side of Hangar 1 last month. The electrical work has been completed, and the dirt work began
last week. The Airport thanked City Engineer Phillip Sorrell and Commissioner Mel Bearden for their work on this
project.
Police Commission -Councilor Tyrone reported they discussed the ordinance establishing the Police
Commission has an irrelevant section regarding feeding and housing prisoners and voted to recommend the City
Council approve amending the ordinance removing this section.. The amendment will be recommended at the
next City Council meeting. They voted to keep the same meeting time and date which is the last Thursday of
each month at noon. Discussion was held regarding meth lab clean up. They have an agreement with the West
Memphis Fire Department that they will take the lead on future meth lab cleanups after the Police Department lost
its federal funding for the cleanups. This is subject to EPA and DEA guidelines. It was clarified that officers
responding to a call should use lights and/or sirens intermittently to alert other drivers as they approach when
driving in excess of the speed limit. He also reported that officers are trained to pass on either side but it is
preferable to pass on the left and should only pass on the right after getting acknowledgment from the other
driver. If any complaints are received regarding high-powered rifles and shotguns they are to get specific dates, f
times and locations so dispatch log and video can be checked if necessary. Officers are only using
rifles/shotguns on stops where primary officer requests it by giving a signal by the primary officer. There have
been no promotions, three were hired and are attending the academy. There are 77 officers on staff.
Budget Committee -Councilor Catt reported the combined city and county sales tax receipts for the first three
months of this year were down more than 4% compared to 2010 figures creating a projected shortfall of
$157,796.74. If they continue to decline in April and May, they will have to meet with administration and
department heads to see what can be cut. To get the budget back in balance there are only two things that can
be done if the decline continues and that is raise revenues or cut expenses.
Insurance Committee -Councilor Coleman reported that the city needs to accept bids for group health insurance.
Presently we are self insured but are asking for bids for self insured or fully insured plans. All bids will have to be
turned in by 12:00 pm April 29"'. The Wellness Committee is to meet immediately after the City Council meeting.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Councilor McClendon announced they had a Town Hall meeting at City Hall on March 24th at 6:00 p.m. and it was
requested the City Council meet after 5:00 at the second meeting of the month to allow people that work an
opportunity to attend. He also said there was a request for utility bill extensions reinstated due to the tough
economic times. They requested a customer be allowed an extension once every six months. Mayor Johnson
said he would bring this matter to the attention of West Memphis General Manager, John Rimmer. Mayor
Johnson said the City Council meetings had been changed in the past to evening meetings and the attendance
did not increase. However it was the discretion of the City Council when they meet.
CITIZENS REQUESTS
