Public-works staff reported that the pool continues to operate but that a leak remains; contractors have performed diagnostics, including listening for leaks, and found that one nearby drain was not the source of leakage. The staff member said crews had not yet located the precise source of the leak and that the pool remained open for use. The committee exchanged questions about whether a recent pipe burst during cold weather was the cause; staff said investigations had not confirmed that and the exact source remained undetermined.

Members also discussed how the pool and the adjacent renovated YMCA building should be publicly referenced. A committee member noted confusion and urged a consistent public name; staff said the facility is officially the Jonesboro Pool Complex D/B/A The Y and that exterior signage work is planned to clarify the identity.

On traffic-calming, staff outlined the city’s speed-table request process: staff will perform a traffic study when residents request a speed table; if the study supports it, staff will seek block-level consensus with residents and prioritize requests against limited budgeted funds. Committee members asked about Prospect Road and West Matthews; staff said speed and traffic data have been collected on several east–west routes and that requests are handled through the traffic-control committee and budgeting process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jonesboro - Finance & Administration Council Committee on 2025-03-11 4:00 PM - Mar 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public-works and parks staff told the Finance Committee the Jonesboro City Pool Complex remains operational despite an unresolved leak; members also discussed formally using “The Y” as the pool complex’s public name and the process for speed-table requests on Prospect Road and West Matthews.","taxTitle","Jonesboro, Craighead County, Arkansas","taxId",3532,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6641170,"Finance committee hears plans to formalize A&P Commission accounting support; MOU would pay city $10,000 quarterly",215,792000,1007000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2547331-acd5ee5b1aa9b6df8796abd70c99c04f&start=792&end=1007","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2547331-acd5ee5b1aa9b6df8796abd70c99c04f/thumbnail_792000.jpg","/articles/6641170/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Finance-committee-hears-plans-to-formalize-AP-Commission-accounting-support-MOU-would-pay-city-10000-quarterly","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641170-74defb633e5eb4604c8cb09ed2f917ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172831&Signature=FqPkIRlFRwRqdo4Z8kCOVSlpeEfveCNw3QUKfAAWAFkDc0dWI3giXbgI8Z2hU5GNdV3BP5t3cZmHmVOXra5koiYmnbxackxpJxPAFP--QntNNHN-bXnJwgp0EEUKlqAOwBtfzZw4~oOMEbivAY1tmjbre9NmYu~YIQxMrvv6fjvluFdmqos2phE83DJyUsSl4DBGPwVrD2MrfsnPCNu3~g9H1qAoulBVRbDqXDZ2XIkAWp5q4ky0jQT5m82XJeIsj2oifnpJQXCZ~3OIGhovXEFQmPuOuT6432H9olVoLzHEarlVKk59cg3UZ3Uswi8P91HAh0AVldZutt1c6dwIAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives working on the proposed Jonesboro Sports Complex told the Finance Committee they are preparing a memorandum of understanding to formalize the city’s accounting and reporting support to the A&P (Advertising and Promotion) Commission.

Michelle Allgood of Mitchell Williams said the lender for the facilities financing asked that the city’s back-office support be documented and that the MOU will include a stated compensation of $10,000 quarterly to the city plus reimbursement for third-party costs such as audits. “It’s gonna be in the amount of 10,000 quarterly,” Allgood told the committee.

Allgood and Cheryl Schlitterman of Raymond James said the lender is still reviewing requested revisions. They asked the committee to hold a special-called meeting before the City Council meeting on the 18th so the committee could review the final MOU and, if appropriate, recommend it to the full council. Committee members discussed scheduling and agreed to tentatively set a special-called meeting for 4:30 p.m. the Tuesday before the council meeting to allow time for questions.

City and A&P representatives said the A&P Commission has been relying on city staff for back-office accounting, and the MOU would formalize compensation for those services while allowing provisions to revisit the amount if the scope of work changes. No formal committee vote on the MOU occurred at the meeting; presenters said they would provide a final draft to committee members before the special-called session.","Lawyers and financial advisors working on the sports complex financing told the committee they are finalizing a memorandum of understanding to compensate the city for accounting support to the A&P Commission and asked the committee to schedule a special-called meeting to consider the MOU before the next council meeting.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6641173,"Finance committee forwards youth-sports facility agreements and $928,042.57 street contract to full council",449,282000,731000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2547331-acd5ee5b1aa9b6df8796abd70c99c04f&start=282&end=731","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2547331-acd5ee5b1aa9b6df8796abd70c99c04f/thumbnail_282000.jpg","/articles/6641173/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Finance-committee-forwards-youth-sports-facility-agreements-and-92804257-street-contract-to-full-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6641173-cd595cee6fbca8f1b4769ca0c707e9b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172831&Signature=gBincjALwd7crex5ESqT-UGGy-WpWHHPyFpAFrbxrpa-vwxgQXU4lqwVfa~svPPg8B3PU7p3J9ujNcH8ECquOSfl2gLaAeYYY5oMZWusWUhvy60ZKaO-gckL4egrXc2eidPrz1SU74EPy6nqvz5PV5ojtnOGhJ2Mro-NE-qTBXhMhXsqqoSoeIaU8AvwXeoosP16RDqLo3--UmcnFfTm5ei-yE8whnNsJqL9N0vTTFiVYya7qBzuFvB1ZdQmro4uSW1uvG16x3ZM-dvDV55pb-qIMhpBHat1J2GTlp-K~j3MW4bHf9WHtb8Z3orSjuni5I8IaxnZMieFvqeU5bJBgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Jonesboro Finance Committee moved four resolutions to the City Council for final consideration, including contracts for youth baseball and swim programs and a low bid award for a street paving project.

The committee forwarded Resolution 25-022, which would authorize a contract between the city and the Jonesboro Baseball Boosters to provide youth baseball at Joe McCampbell Park. The resolution text names Mayor Harold Copelandhaver and City Clerk April Leggett as authorized to execute the agreement.

The committee also forwarded Resolution 25-023, a one-year facility-usage agreement with Jonesboro Jets Incorporated for use of the Jonesboro City Pool Complex at 1421 West Nettleton, and Resolution 25-024, a one-year usage agreement with Sharkwave Aquatics Team (SWAT) for the same pool complex. Committee members discussed that recent lane-sharing arrangements and the yet-to-be-completed sports complex have motivated several clubs to sign one-year agreements while usage patterns stabilize.

Finally, the committee forwarded Resolution 25-025, to accept the low bid from Atlas Asphalt Incorporated — $928,042.57 — for the 2025 asphalt milling and overlay of selected city streets, with funding to come from the 2025 budget.

None of the four items was voted on for final approval at the committee; the motions were to forward the items to the full council. The committee record in the transcript shows motions and seconds and asks members to record their votes, but specific vote tallies were not provided at the meeting.

The resolutions, if approved by the full City Council, would authorize the mayor and city clerk to execute the listed agreements and obligate 2025 budget funding where specified.","Jonesboro’s finance committee voted to forward four resolutions — contracts for youth baseball and swim programs and a $928,042.57 asphalt milling and overlay bid — to the full City Council for final action.","actionData","errors"]
