The Jonesboro Public Safety Council Committee convened on April 15, 2025, to address key issues impacting community safety and infrastructure. The meeting began with the approval of minutes from the previous session, which passed unanimously, allowing the committee to move swiftly into new business.

One of the most significant discussions centered around Ordinance 25-010, which proposes several traffic regulation changes aimed at enhancing road safety. The ordinance includes establishing a 25-mile-per-hour speed limit on Creth, Kate, and East streets, as well as a 30-mile-per-hour limit on Bridge Street from Washington to Johnson. Additionally, stop signs will be installed at the intersection of Lazar and Buck Drive. This ordinance was approved and will be forwarded to the full council for further consideration.

Another critical item on the agenda was Resolution 25-030, which involves the condemnation of a property located at 2424 East Johnson Avenue. The property, owned by the Ruth Allison Stasnick Trust, has been deemed unsuitable for human habitation after inspection. The resolution to proceed with condemnation was also passed, reflecting the committee's commitment to maintaining community safety and health standards.

The meeting concluded with no additional business or public comments, and the committee adjourned after addressing these pressing matters. The decisions made during this session are expected to have a direct impact on the safety and well-being of Jonesboro residents, highlighting the council's ongoing efforts to improve local infrastructure and living conditions.
