THOUGH THERE BEING NO OBJECTIONS. MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE.

WILL YOU PLEASE READ FOR US THE AMENDMENT 1 TO 24I60? CERTAINLY. DO YOU WANT ME TO READ THE WHOLE AMENDMENT OR JUST THE TITLE? I THINK I JUST WANT THE TITLE. OKAY. AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE FINDINGS OF THE COUNTY WIDE LAND USE STUDY AND PLAN FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS.

JUSTICE LEWIS, AND YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR A MOTION.

A MOTION TO ADOPT THE AMENDMENT. CAN I FIND A SECOND? SECOND. MEMBERS. YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION AND YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND.

TO ADOPT AMENDMENT ONE FOR 24I60. EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR? DID I JUST SAY 24 AGAIN? IT SAYS 24 ON IT. THAT'S.

24, ISN'T IT? THAT IS. THIS ONE IS 24. SO, 24 IS CORRECT.

OKAY. THIS IS CARRIED FORWARD FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS AMENDMENT ONE? MISS CURRY. I'VE GOT YOU HERE. LET ME GET YOU UP.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVEN'T GOT YOU UP YET.

THANK YOU. NOW YOU ARE. I'D LIKE TO ASK, PROBABLY FROM LEGAL.

I NOTICED THAT IT'S A LOT OF REFERENCE TO THE WEST PULASKI COUNTY.

OKAY? OKAY. I APOLOGIZE. WELL, SO WE'RE ON AMENDMENT ONE.

OKAY. NOT AMENDMENT TWO. OKAY. MY APOLOGIES, I WANTED TO.

NONE NECESSARY. YOU BROKE US UP THERE. WE GET OUT OF THAT MONOTONY OF SAYING 24 INSTEAD OF 25.

OKAY. THANK YOU. SO, THERE BEING NO OTHER NO FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING AMENDMENT ONE FOR 24I60.

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE ADOPTION OR THE APPROVAL OF THAT AMENDMENT.

12 AYES, THREE ABSENT. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

MISS LEWISON, YOU ADOPTED YOUR AMENDMENT. AND NOW, MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU READ FOR US AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO ON ORDINANCE 24I60 AN ORDINANCE ENACTING THE COUNTY WIDE LAND USE STUDY AND PLAN FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF PULASKI COUNTY.

MISS BLACKWOOD, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR A MOTION.

CAN I GET A SECOND? SECOND. SECOND. MEMBERS. YOU'VE HEARD THE MOTION.

YOU'VE HEARD THE SECOND. TO ADOPT AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO TO ORDINANCE 24I60.

ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING AMENDMENT TWO FOR 24I60.

[00:20:07]

WOULD IT APPLY TO ALL OF THE AREAS? WHY WOULD IT BE SO SPECIFIC TO THAT? CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT? SO, I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY MORE OF A QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE SPONSOR OF THE AMENDMENT, BECAUSE SO IT'S THE OKAY, THIS IS, THIS HAS THE EFFECT OF A RESOLUTION BECAUSE OF THE WHEREASES AND THE LANGUAGE WAS I WASN'T SURE THE LANGUAGE BEING PROPOSED IS FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF WESTERN PULASKI COUNTY.

AND THAT'S THAT WOULD BE MY BEST EXPLANATION TO THAT.

AND THERE'S NO ACTION, INCLUDING THAT CAUSED OR REQUIRED BY THAT AMENDMENT.

IT'S COMMENTARY. OKAY. JUST WANTED TO UNDERSTAND.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING AMENDMENT TWO FOR ORDINANCE 24I60? OH, MR. STOWERS IS FLASHING OVER THERE. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE RECOGNIZED, MR. STOWERS. THANK YOU, SIR. I BELIEVE WHAT JUSTICE DAVIS IS STATING HERE IS HER CONSTITUENTS SENTIMENTS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS THE NEED FOR SOME REGULATIONS AS IT RELATES TO LEAPFROGGING AND HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THEY ARE OPPOSED TO LAND USE REGULATIONS THAT WOULD INTERACT AND CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR SMALL LANDOWNERS.

I'M NOT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF JUSTICE DAVIS, BUT I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT HER AMENDMENT.

IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE INTENT OR THE CONTEXT OF THE LAND USE PLAN AS IT IS WRITTEN.

AND SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD SOME CONTEXT THERE RELATED TO THE CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENED JUST PRIOR TO MY COMMENTS.

THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK WE THANK YOU FOR THOSE COMMENTS, MR. STOWERS. I'M NOT SURE. I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

AND NOW, MISS DAVIS AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK, GO AHEAD AND HIT YOUR LIGHT.

YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I DID NOT FEEL LIKE THE LAND USE STUDY COMPLETELY INCORPORATED MY POPULATION OF PEOPLE.

WE HAD THE COMMUNITY MEETING AND SO I JUST WANTED THIS ADDED, THAT'S ALL.

JUST SO THAT WHEN THE FUTURE SINCE THIS IS THE FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT, WHEN WE MAKE ORDINANCES OR WHATEVER WE DO, THIS WILL BE A SCRIPT TO GO OFF OF THE FEELINGS OF WEST PULASKI.

I YIELD. THANKS. GO AHEAD. MISS CURRY. DID I JUST NOT TURN YOUR LIGHT OFF OR DID YOU HIT IT AGAIN? NO I DIDN'T. OKAY.

OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, REGARDING AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO? J USTICE WARD. OKAY. RECOGNIZED. ALL RIGHT. MY QUESTION IS SINCE THIS WILL BE IN THE IN THERE REGARDING JUST ONE AREA, DO WE NEED AS FAR AS THE AREAS LIKE THAT WE REPRESENT, DO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AS WELL TO PROTECT? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. THIS IS JUST COMMENTARY IN, IN THE KIND OF THE INTRODUCTION THE I THINK THE VOTE WILL REFLECT THE, THE SENTIMENT OF THE BODY WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTENTS OF THE PLAN.

THANK YOU, MR. COUNTY ATTORNEY AND JUSTICE WARD, IF YOU WANT TO CAN DRAFT A, AN AMENDMENT THAT REPRESENTS YOUR WARD.

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO DO THAT. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO DO IT THAT ANYBODY ELSE HAS TO DO IT.

OKAY. JUST YOU'RE KIND OF NEW. SO JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR TO YOU, IT'S NOT A PRIVILEGED RIGHT TO DO.

JUSTICE CURRY, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. YES, I'D JUST LIKE THAT WAS KIND OF MY REASON FOR KIND OF ASKING.

ALSO, I BELIEVE THERE WERE SOME OTHER AREAS THAT PEOPLE COMMENTED ABOUT, SIMILAR COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE.

SO, IF I NEED TO DO THE SAME THING, I WILL GLADLY WORK ON THAT FOR THE AREAS THAT WE REPRESENT.

BECAUSE I HAD NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO ATTEND ANY OF THE MEETINGS THAT WERE HELD PRIOR.

[00:25:11]

I JUST WANT TO BE ON THE RECORD THAT PAGE NINE OF THE LAND USE STUDY ADDRESSES EVERYTHING LISTED IN THE AMENDMENT, SO I DO UNDERSTAND. THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU, JUSTICE PERSON. YOU MEANT THAT IT WAS REDUNDANT, I'M ASSUMING, AND NO ONE ELSE CAUGHT THAT BESIDES YOU.

SO, YOU GET A GOLD STAR FOR THE NIGHT TOO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING AMENDMENT TWO TO RESOLUTION OR TO ORDINANCE 24I60. GOING ONCE. THERE BEING NO MORE. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THIS AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO ON ORDINANCE 24I60.

CERTAINLY.

12 AYES, THREE ABSENT. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK AND JUSTICE DAVIS.
