Concerns over a life safety issue regarding a malfunctioning stove and ongoing efforts to manage a bat infestation took center stage at the recent Board of Directors Agenda Meeting in Little Rock.

City officials confirmed that the stove issue, which posed a risk due to carbon monoxide emissions, has been promptly addressed. “That has been resolved,” stated a board member, emphasizing the urgency of the situation as a life safety concern.

In addition to the stove issue, the board discussed the ongoing efforts to remove bats from a local tower. The process has involved collaboration with wildlife experts and pest control, as officials worked to safely relocate the animals. “It wasn’t an overnight process,” one member noted, highlighting that the city had been actively addressing the bat situation for several weeks.

As the board moves into the final phases of this wildlife management effort, they remain committed to ensuring public safety and resolving these pressing issues. The discussions reflect the city’s proactive approach to both immediate safety concerns and longer-term environmental management.
