>> A MOTION WAS MADE WITH THE SECOND THAT WE SENT 277 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DUE PASS RECOMMENDATION.
JUSTICE LOUISON WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN OR DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN FOR YOU?
>> I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING AND THEN YOU CAN EXPLAIN.
THE YOUTH SERVICES RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM DELTA DENTAL IN THE AMOUNT OF $12,000.
THESE FUNDS ARE PROVIDING ENHANCEMENTS FOR EACH OF THE OUT-OF-SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AWARDED TO THE COUNTY TILL JANUARY 2020.
COME ON UP AND TELL HOW YOU GOT THIS GRANT?
>> 2022. YEAH. WHOOPS. WE MISSED IT WE'RE TWO YEARS LATE.
SORRY. I'M JAMIE SCOTT, DIRECTOR OF PULLASKI YOUTH SERVICES.
THIS IS JUST A GRANT TO PROVIDE ENHANCEMENT SERVICES TO OUR ALREADY COUNTY FUNDED AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS. THAT'S HARRIS ELEMENTARY, DAISY BATES, OUTGROWTH AND LANDMARK ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS OUR NEW PROGRAM.
THIS IS JUST TO BRING AWARENESS ABOUT ORAL HEALTH AND HOW THAT TIES TO OTHER FITNESS AND OVERALL WELL-BEING FOR THE KIDS.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR OTHER FUNDS TO ELEVATE THE SERVICES, THE QUALITY OF SERVICES THAT OUR YOUTH ARE CURRENTLY RECEIVING.
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, WE GOT ANOTHER ENHANCED GRANT THAT WILL PROVIDE SERVICES FOR TUTORING, SORRY, FOR ADDITIONAL TUTORS TO ADDRESS THE ACADEMIC LOSS THAT HAPPENED DURING COVID.
JUST TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE MENTAL HEALTH STUFF THAT'S GOING ON WITH THE KIDS.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR JUST ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENT GRANTS.
THEY'RE SMALLER GRANTS, BUT THEY ALL MAKE A BETTER PROGRAM FOR OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR THE KIDS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE GOTTEN THIS SPECIFIC GRANT FROM DELTA DENTAL.
THEY'LL ALSO BEGIN EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS.
THIS GRANT WAS BASICALLY TO BUY A LOT OF THE KITS AND EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND WE'LL HIRE A CONSULTANT TO COME OUT AND DO STUFF ON A MONTHLY BASIS WITH THE KIDS AT THE PROGRAM.
>> DIRECTOR, SCOTT, THANK YOU.
BUT WE'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS JUSTICE GOLLY.
>> I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR HER.
I JUST WANT TO BE ADDED AS A SPONSOR.
THIS CAME DOWN THE LOOP SO FAST.
I NORMALLY TRY TO SIT DOWN AND CALL THROUGH ALL OF YOU-ALL BECAUSE I LIKE TO ADVOCATE AND LET YOU-ALL KNOW WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
THIS WAS A SHORT TURNAROUND FOR US TO GET THIS ONE ON THE AGENDA.
THAT'S WHY I ONLY HAVE THREE SPONSORS, BUT NO DISRESPECT TO ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ROOM. MY APOLOGIES.
>> I'VE GOT ONE QUESTION BECAUSE YOU SAID KITS, WHAT KITS ARE WE BUYING IT?
>> WOULD THEY COME UNDER GENERAL OFFICE SUPPLIES, IS THAT WHERE?
>> THIS IS THE THING WE RUN INTO WITH THE STATE AND THE CITY AND COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
THINGS THAT WE SEE AS OFFICE SUPPLIES.
OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT SEE AS PROGRAMS SUPPLIES.
THERE'S NOT A PROGRAM SUPPLY LINE ITEM IN OUR STRUCTURE IF THAT MAKES IT SOMETIMES.
SOMETIMES WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT WHAT WOULD BE AN OFFICE SUPPLY IN A DIFFERENT LINE ITEM JUST BECAUSE THE FEDERAL, THE STATE AND EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY IDENTIFY THE SAME ITEM, BUT THEY IDENTIFIED A DIFFERENT WAY.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE HEAVIER IN ONE AREA, IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE THE GRANTOR MADE US PUT IT IN THIS LINE ITEM AND THEN ONCE WE APPROPRIATE THE FUNDS, WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOES THE COUNTY, MAKE US A MISTAKE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS AUDIT PURPOSES ACCOUNT FOR THAT SPECIFIC ITEM.
>> THANK YOU, DEBORAH AT DISGUISE. JUSTICE BLACKWOOD.
>> I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A SPONSOR.
>> THANK YOU. JUSTICE [INAUDIBLE].
>> TO LIVE IN MORE TAXES, PERSONAL AND REAL ESTATE TAXES ON THOSE.

>> OKAY, I'M AT AS 76, I'M SORRY.
>> NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
DIRECTOR SCOTT. AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL?
>> A VOTE OF 15 TO ZERO WE WILL SEND 21 AS 77 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DU PASS RECOMMENDATION.

AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE READ 21 AS 78.>> AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 17 OR 78 THE PULLASKI COUNTY PURCHASING POLICY TO CHANGE THE MINIMUM SPEND LIMIT ON PURCHASES THAT REQUIRE A PURCHASE ORDER AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
[00:10:01]
>> I MOVE THAT WE SEND THIS TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE RECOMMENDED TO DU PASS.
>> A MOTION WAS MADE WITH THE SECOND THAT WE SEND THIS TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH A RECOMMENDED DU PASS.
>> JUSTICE MASSEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN?
>> THERE MAY BE SOMEONE HERE STUFF THAT CAN DO THIS, BUT I'LL JUST SAY THIS MUCH IT IS JUST A LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT THAT OUR YEARLY RECOMMENDATIONS AND THIS IS ONE FROM THIS YEAR GOING FORWARD.
>> THANK YOU, MR. KEITH. DID I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, AND ADAM CAN YOU VALIDATE THIS, THAT THESE ARE CHANGES THAT CAME OUT OF THE LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT WE NEED TO MAKE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW.
>> THESE ARE BRINGING THE COUNTY PURCHASING POLICY, THEN THE CONFORMITY WITH THEM.
>> ARE ALL THE CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN THIS ORDINATES SPECIFICALLY TIED TO THAT LAW OR NOT?
>> DO YOU WANT TO GRAB A MIC? SORRY. THANK YOU.
>> YEAH, INSTEAD OF JUST YELLING.
I CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION SPECIFICALLY.
I KNOW THAT CHANGES WERE MADE IN THE LAST GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT ARE REFLECTED HERE, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME LOWER LIMITS THAT ARE BEING MODIFIED AT THE REQUEST OF PURCHASING.
[NOISE] OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARE A LOT OF NUMBER CHANGES, BUT WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE OF THIS ORDINANCE? I DON'T MEAN THAT JUST IN TERMS OF A DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON DEPARTMENTS.
>> I KNOW THAT FOR OPEN MARKET PURCHASES, FOR INSTANCE, IF IT'S NOT AN OPEN MARKET PURCHASE, IT DOES PLACE ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS ON THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT.
FOR ANY CONTRACT THAT THEY HANDLE, THEY'VE GOT PROCESSES THAT THEY FOLLOW, THEY'VE GOT DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH FOR A PERIOD OF YEARS.
BY INCREASING THAT OPEN MARKET FROM, I THINK IT'S 2,000 OR 3,000 OR UNDER 3,000, IT WILL PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY AND ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE BURDENS ON THAT OFFICE.
>> CAN YOU SPEAK INTO YOUR MIC SO WE CAN HEAR YOU?
>> WHAT I WANTED TO ASK WAS, THE MINIMUM SPENT LIMIT ON PURCHASES THAT REQUIRE A PURCHASE ORDER, WHAT IS THE CURRENT LIMIT NOW AND WHAT COULD IT GO UP TO? CAN YOU GIVE ME THAT ANSWER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> IT'S MOVING FROM $2,000 TO $3,000.
>> IS THERE ANYONE HERE FROM PURCHASING TONIGHT? I KNOW THE JUDGE [OVERLAPPING]
>> MR. STOWERS, I THINK HUTCH WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BEST ONE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
HE'S OUT ON MATERNITY LEAVE AT THE MOMENT.
HE WILL BE HERE FOR THE FULL QUORUM COURT IF THERE'S FURTHER QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS PROBABLY MORE OF A HUTCH IN THE WHEELHOUSE.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. BLAGG.
>> WITH THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, IT SEEMS TO BE SOME QUESTIONS HERE REGARDING THIS CHANGE IN POLICY.
I KNOW THE JUDGE LIKES US TO TAKE CARE OF OUR QUESTIONS AND OUR BUSINESS AT THE AGENDA MEETING AND NOT TO HAVE A LOT OF DEBATE AND DIALOGUE WITH FULL QUORUM COURT.
BUT GIVEN THAT STAFF IS NOT HERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE, AND ADAM IS DOING HIS BEST, BUT ULTIMATELY, PRICING OWNS THIS, HUTCH'S DEPARTMENT OWNS THIS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ABSTAIN THIS EVENING AND ASK MY QUESTIONS AT THE FULL QUORUM COURT.
I WOULD ASK JUSTIN THAT HUTCH OR A REPRESENTATIVE FROM PURCHASING BE HERE AT THE FULL QUORUM COURT.
>> I'M JUST CURIOUS IF DIRECTOR LOVE OR DIRECTOR SCOTT MAY HAVE ANY INPUT ON HOW THIS AFFECTS OUR DEPARTMENT.
[00:15:01]
I ASSUME THEY'RE GOOD CHANGES AND ALL, BUT WITH MY VOTE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CONFIDENCE.IF THEY CARE TO COMMENT, I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.
I'LL TAKE THAT AS A NO. [LAUGHTER]
>> I'M CURIOUS AND MAYBE THIS IS FOR ADAM.
DO WE HAVE A CHOICE IN THIS? [LAUGHTER] IF WE DON'T APPROVE THIS, THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
>> SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO SUE US.
I HIGHLY DOUBT THEY'RE GOING TO SUE US.
>> YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE IN THE MATTER, BUT I WOULD DEFER [OVERLAPPING] IN LARGE PART TO HUTCH IN PURCHASING.
>> OKAY. THAT'S FINE. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING ELSE, JUSTICE MCCOY?
>> ADAM, I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I WAS JUST SAYING SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO SUE US.
I DOUBT SOMEONE'S GOING TO SUE US FOR THAT, BUT WHO KNOWS?
>> OKAY, THAT COOL. WHEN WE DO THAT AGAIN [INAUDIBLE]
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS? THERE BEING NONE. AMY, WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL?
>> TEN AYES AND FIVE ABSTENTIONS.
>> THAT STILL SENDS IT TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.
WE WILL SEND ITEM 21 I-78 TO THE FULL QUORUM COURT WITH THE DO PASS RECOMMENDATION, AND JUSTIN HAS NOTED THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE HERE FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
[21-I-79 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 20-OR-44 (2021 ANNUAL BUDGET, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS) TO RECOGNIZE AND APPROPRIATE GRANT FUNDS FOR THE COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT FOR THE ZEUBER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PHASE II PROJECT TO IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION COMPONENTS AT THE LITTLE ROCK PORT AUTHORITY INDUSTRIAL PARK.]

>> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE QUORUM COURT.
FREDERICK LOVE, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES.
REALLY, THESE ARE JUST PASS-THROUGH FUNDS.
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL PHASES OF THIS PROJECT AT PORT AUTHORITY.
AS YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THE FIRST PORTION WAS ZUBER ROAD, AND WE PUT THE ROAD IN AND THAT WAS JUST FOR AMAZON AND CZ.
THE SECOND PHASE WAS JUST TO WIDEN IT SO THAT THE TRUCKS CAN COME THROUGH, AND THAT IS PHASE 2, SO THAT THE STREETS AND THE ROADS ARE BUILT SO THAT THEY CAN HANDLE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC.
WHERE THE CITY COMES INTO PLAY IS THAT SINCE PRATT REMMEL AND FISH DAM ARE IN THE CITY LIMITS, THEY'VE ACTUALLY CARRIED OUT THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT.
WHILE THE COUNTY IS BEING REIMBURSED, WE'RE JUST PASSING THE MONEY TO THE CITY BECAUSE THE CITY IS THE ONE THAT PAID OUT THE FUNDS FOR THIS PHASE OF THE PROJECT.
>> OKAY. JUSTICE GULLEY, DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
>> CAN YOU SPEAK INTO YOUR MIC, PLEASE?
>> YES, SIR. ZUBER, SO THIS IS IN LITTLE ROCK?
>> YES, IT'S ON THE PORT AUTHORITY.
PART OF ZUBER IS IN PULASKI COUNTY; PART OF ZUBER IS IN LITTLE ROCK.
>> OKAY. WHEN YOU MENTIONED AMAZON, IT THREW ME OFF BECAUSE I KNOW AMAZON IS IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK.
>> NO, AMAZON HAS A FACILITY OUT IN THE PORT AUTHORITY.
>> OKAY. I WAS UNAWARE OF THAT.
I WAS JUST AWARE OF THE ONE AT THE GALWAY. [OVERLAPPING]
>> YOU SHOULD GO OUT THERE AND SEE IT.
>> RIGHT. I'VE SEEN THE ONE IN MY DISTRICT, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN [OVERLAPPING]
>> NO, THAT'S A MINI FACILITY COMPARED TO THIS ONE.
[LAUGHTER] THIS ONE IS PROBABLY [OVERLAPPING]
>> IS [INAUDIBLE] THE ONE THEY JUST FINISHED BUILDING OUT?
>> YES, IT'S FIVE OR SIX STORIES.
[00:20:01]
>> CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY FEET OF ROAD IS BEING IMPROVED? IS IT A MILE, IS IT HALF-MILE? [OVERLAPPING]
>> I'LL BE HONEST. I COULDN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY MILES OF ROAD ARE BEING IMPROVED.
>> BECAUSE TYPICALLY, $1.6 MILLION JUST DOESN'T GET YOU A WHOLE LOT [OVERLAPPING] MILES.
>> NO, THIS IS JUST A FIRST REIMBURSEMENT.
>> THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL REIMBURSEMENTS THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, SO THANK YOU, SIR.

>> SHE WANTS IT OFF THE TABLE.
OKAY, AND THE PARLIAMENTARIAN, WHAT DO WE DO?
>> IT'S YOUR CALL, MR. CHAIRMAN.
>> [LAUGHTER] WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME THAT AUTHORITY?

>> I AM NOT TRYING TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT OR ANYTHING.
>> EXCUSE ME. CAN I SAY SOMETHING? I'M CONFUSED. OKAY. IF SHE SECONDED, HOW DID THE MOTION FAIL?
>> I HAD CALLED THAT THERE'S AN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT A MOTION HAS TO GET A SECOND, AND I GAVE PROBABLY ABOUT A GOOD MINUTE AT LEAST, AND SHE DIDN'T SECOND UNTIL AFTER I CALLED THAT FOR FAILING.
>> I THINK THAT WAS SOME CONFUSION BECAUSE EVEN WHEN I WAS COLLABORATING WITH JUSTIN,
[00:25:01]
IT'S CONFUSING TO ME THAT WHEN YOU SAY THE WORD 'REMOVE', IT'S LIKE I'M JUST TAKING IT OFF THE TABLE, ALL TOGETHER AND NOT DISCUSSING IT, AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO DISCUSS THIS.>> THE MOTION WAS MADE TO REMOVE THE ITEM FROM THE TABLE AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME, DID NOT RECEIVE A SECOND?
>> THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE AT. IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK AND ALLOW THAT SECOND TO BE MADE, THAT GOING TO BE YOUR CALL HIM, MR. CHAIRMAN.
IF THAT SECOND IS ACCEPTED, THEN IT'S AN IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF HER MOTION TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE.
>> OKAY, SO IT'S AN IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION.
>> THE MOTION IS NON-DEBATABLE, AND NOT AMENDABLE.
>> OKAY. IN THE INTEREST OF TRYING TO BE FAIR, WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL ALLOW THE SECOND TO STAND, AND THEN WE HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY GO INTO THE QUORUM COURT TO THE FULL BODY TO VOTE TO SEE IF WE WANT TO ACTUALLY HEAR THE AMENDMENT.
>> YOU WILL BE VOTING TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE?
>> YEAH. TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? WHAT WE'RE DOING, I'M GOING TO LET HER SECOND STAND, AND WE'RE GOING TO IMMEDIATELY GO INTO A VOTE TO ALLOW IT TO BE REMOVED FROM THE TABLE OR TO ALLOW IT TO STAND, AND THE UNFORTUNATE THING IS THAT THERE IS NO DISCUSSION, AND NO DEBATE, SO WE HAVE TO GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE VOTE.
>> I HAVE A PROCEDURAL QUESTION.
>> CAN WE ENTERTAIN A PROCEDURE?
>> PUT POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.
>> IT'S NON-DEBATABLE, NOT AMENDABLE.
>>I AM GIVING EVERYBODY AN OPPORTUNITY EVEN THOUGH IT'S NON-DEBATABLE.
>> I HAVE MY HANDS UP FOR A QUESTION
>> OKAY. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS CALL THE ROLL, AND IF THE BODY WANTS TO HAVE IT PULLED FROM THE TABLE, WE CAN DO THAT.
>> REMOVE FROM THE TABLE MEANS TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE THEN? [BACKGROUND].
>> REMOVE FROM THE TABLE THEN IT'S BACK UP FOR CONSIDERATION EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS WHEN YOU TABLED IT.
>> A YES VOTE IS TO BRING IT BACK UP FOR DISCUSSION.
A NO VOTE IS TO KEEP IT TABLED.
