Britton told councilmembers the CCR district is an action item in the City Plan 2040 and is intended to conserve, protect and enhance Fayetteville’s natural resources. The Planning Commission’s version (in the packet) includes certain conditional uses — notably use units that could allow utilities or cell-tower equipment — while the EAC recommended excluding those uses to preserve the district’s conservation purpose.

Nut graf: staff emphasized the two bodies’ slightly different recommendations and offered to provide bridging language that would allow necessary utility maintenance while preserving conservation goals. Britton said staff could present illustrations to clarify what conditional uses (for example, small utility cabinets or cell‑site equipment) would physically look like on the ground.

Councilmembers discussed how CCR would differ from the existing Residential Agriculture (RA) district and noted CCR would be a voluntary rezoning that requires property-owner consent; Britton and EAC members said CCR is intended as a true conservation zone rather than the low-density RA category. EAC representative Craig said the committee spent extensive time on the draft and urged caution about allowing uses that would undercut the district’s conservation aims; councilmembers asked for visuals and a reconciled ordinance before formal action.

Ending: Staff asked council to hear the ordinance and be prepared to table it if members want more time; Britton said staff would return with possible compromise language and illustrative examples to aid council review prior to a vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Agenda 6.10.2025","oneSentenceSummary","Long Range Planning staff presented a draft CCR (Conservation, Cultural and Recreation) zoning district; the EAC and Planning Commission differ on whether to allow conditional utility/communications uses.","taxTitle","Fayetteville City, Washington County, Arkansas","taxId",5768,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195987,"Council reviews $215 million capital improvement plan revisions; funds reallocated to natural resources and parks maintenance",231,1268000,1499000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78&start=1268&end=1499","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78/thumbnail_1268000.jpg","/articles/6195987/Fayetteville-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Council-reviews-215-million-capital-improvement-plan-revisions-funds-reallocated-to-natural-resources-and-parks-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195987-23b7c15e1b7c169debcfe2a32c2de4d7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207326&Signature=hEku~p5Jlp1mzLekzh1mR7oEzmWvUAA5cDxQlW2UkI~TGqIGW-Asi-kuGVAEuuCRg4xET-d1F4HhzMgTZoS7rSn0~yETN3Iw5cKcN~Sz49s81LYGcWdGLNVDu9KmYcaDZHmUM5xdVDy7ikCiW-4ZUEnzcd0K8uUe4Lyif69fGpIaD7OtCFqfGtA-wr4pBjajJPPx4qHur0xLoZn7tlWcSVSxkw3Cn2hzMnpXHTZbAIG67~oTk78XeXdqzyTswwGUdxq8f2-m4lPxIIVSU4WMK4LfBfA5W2ABYGI2m8Ebyi37nVTgM-OxrVVqjAIu6C4Bb-H6XwZd2inaW6YHv8Ac8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff presented the proposed 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Plan, a five-year roadmap that totals approximately $215,121,000 and lays out the city’s planned capital investments and vehicle/equipment acquisitions.

Steven (city staff) summarized changes since the May presentation: reprogramming $50,000 from contingency to fully fund natural-resources prescribed burn projects in 2026–27; removing a parks marketing line item and moving $45,000 into community and neighborhood resources; shifting $150,000 from contingency into community and neighborhood resources; and moving $200,000 from contingency to parks maintenance in 2028–30 to address aging park infrastructure.

Nut graf: staff said these reallocations do not change the CIP total but shift internal priorities toward natural resources, neighborhood resources and parks maintenance. The community-and-neighborhood-resources category was increased to $345,000 for 2026–27 (up from zero in the earlier draft) to reflect near-term needs; staff noted many requests likely belong in operating budgets rather than capital.

During discussion Councilmember Moore and others asked about contingency levels and the effect of potential litigation-related attorney’s fees; staff said contingency was reduced and that unknown legal costs could limit discretionary spending. Councilmembers also emphasized the CIP’s role as a “north star” while recognizing elements will be revisited in future biennial updates.

Staff told the council the CIP would come back for formal adoption (agenda item B3) at the regular meeting; staff said the changes are reflected in the current draft linked in the civic clerk packet.

Ending: The council heard the CIP briefing and directed staff to bring the finalized CIP for adoption at the next council meeting; councilmembers asked for continued detail about contingency assumptions and operational transitions for items moved out of capital into operating budgets.","Staff briefed councilmembers on the proposed 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), noting a total of about $215.1 million and several reallocations — including funding for prescribed burns, community and neighborhood resources and parks maintenance — and explained contingency changes tied to potential legal fees.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195992,"City staff recommends switch to weekly single‑cart recycling; proposal would raise residential bills but lower long‑term costs",1824,5754000,7578000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78&start=5754&end=7578","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78/thumbnail_5754000.jpg","/articles/6195992/Fayetteville-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/City-staff-recommends-switch-to-weekly-singlecart-recycling-proposal-would-raise-residential-bills-but-lower-longterm-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195992-3ba7993d9d9861a03399798c0f3eae9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207326&Signature=ifQiH7G2-kMPvFDDt9iRMAWzL874wGKIPh9xy2lfwH8c8JdQ7RovRUu5d5CQsvCND-eQGzXnUG9u-zutJVEx5WSk9qQGGg-aD5AhTqFY67Ub-uV~XqkLGdQGEf9h6sz4fbXu-B53y4uKMhpDaL4UN3mXpOkfPMPRQfWTUTXmKRgxM9mIy5RQxmS6PUtt0dw-4eo0DLfmaQUu13iD8NTrPv0HrQ8rUuyF6uNQQFpbE-S9ZiNUcCrlAyOuj5wM3FDB-xPSKZQtj7hIq2a5Qp-PFgMkLRj4Z2-AYevMpTaMd5KX7T4M8fdJBEXPB-xF1Lz2~y6Ez6QvCs3-oEhT3HjE2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peter Nierngarten, the city's environmental director, and consultants presented a solid‑waste cost-of-service study that recommends replacing curb-sort recycling with a weekly, single-cart (all-in-one) collection system to improve diversion, worker safety and long-term financial sustainability.

The recommendation would require up-front capital to buy carts and at least six new automated collection trucks; staff estimated a multiyear capital program concentrated in 2026 as trucks and carts are deployed. Consultants said the single-cart weekly model is expected to roughly double captured recyclables versus the current program, reduce worker injuries, lower ongoing operating costs and rebuild the solid-waste fund reserves earlier than the status quo.

Nut graf: under the recommended transition, the consultant proposed an initial rate adjustment — a 9.5% increase for year one (2026) followed by a 7.5% increase in 2027 — with smaller increases thereafter; for the city’s most common household service (a 64‑gallon cart) the consultant estimated a levelized $5.78 increase in monthly bills over five years compared with a $7.22 increase under the status-quo operational path.

Staff said the city currently diverts about 20% of residential waste and that a 2016 Recycling Master Plan target of 40% has not been met. A September waste sort showed an estimated 3,800 tons of recyclables buried in the residential trash stream last year — roughly a 40% capture rate of recyclable material generated — and commercial capture rates were lower. Consultants flagged cardboard and glass as large components of the recyclables stream by weight.

Councilmembers asked about contamination control, privacy concerns related to truck-mounted cameras and the cost/availability of regional processing capacity. Councilmember Bernal and others requested additional data on contamination rates from nearby cities piloting automated contamination-detection systems (Springdale was cited as a pilot site) and asked staff to provide processing cost comparisons and projected contract terms in the RFP that staff will run for an external processor.

Staff said a transition would require ordering trucks (long lead times), buying carts for residential customers, designing a public education campaign and issuing an RFP for a processor; staff recommended bringing a formal rate ordinance for council consideration on July 15. No formal vote occurred during the agenda session.

Ending: Staff will return with the full rate ordinance and implementation schedule, including truck lead times, RFP timetable for processing services, contamination-management specifications and answers to privacy questions about automated on-truck cameras.","Consultants and staff presented a solid-waste rate study recommending a move from curb-sort recycling to a single-cart weekly recycling service; the plan would require new trucks and carts, an initial capital outlay and proposed rate increases in 2026 and 2027 to cover costs while increasing diversion.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195995,"Fayetteville councilmember proposes $630,000 \"SafeCamp\" pilot to shelter up to 40 unhoused residents",1260,3244000,4504000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78&start=3244&end=4504","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78/thumbnail_3244000.jpg","/articles/6195995/Fayetteville-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Fayetteville-councilmember-proposes-630000-SafeCamp-pilot-to-shelter-up-to-40-unhoused-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195995-09bdb8d77fb4cbe54fea8d401a527fcb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207326&Signature=eE-Kth-6LNPyTbVyjfZ~4g7fnbJpmfidwtyTYtjU9wXyDhiVCjgpLJ5AHUEP7B5OLgoDEq37ipK40fjfv3DIBJCtsTpi3WnJESN6TlMssa4~BbSopFexWSq5GQXQBcQi9ksprQEovg0T971EAeUDudTuNg1EwUtYKZ7DXPM32OG7c37GcwawzryNMoKtQz3hGBUSRdIKj--E~fOAxCLsfmkjzXQuYlQu-aMLTtw7nJkjnfyi7PJgWKszf-~uHW6ZYY3qf3YLs80v~LPX4MtNrZtIlfqiZnGR1SluM7RChWd-XVdEdD7F~7s~Vk-lNR9ieWa6QKK4lfawAxW43lpLqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmember Lort introduced a walk-on resolution proposing a one-year SafeCamp interim initiative and a $630,000 budget adjustment to provide staffed, temporary shelter for up to about 40 people experiencing homelessness.

The proposal would fund heavy-duty all-weather tents, portable restrooms and showers, laundry, waste disposal and on-site staffing including 24/7 coverage and social‑work case management. Councilmember Lort said the site under consideration is the Walker Park property (the previous San Jose site) and described the program as an interim response while the city pursues mid- and long-term housing strategies.

The measure’s nut graf: proponents framed the SafeCamp as a near-term, humane alternative to unsanctioned camping, arguing it would connect residents to supportive services and housing pathways while reducing unsafe camping in parks and on private property. Lort told colleagues she reviewed models in other cities (Denver, Bay Area) and consulted local providers; she asked the council to grant administration flexibility on procurement and operating arrangements so implementation could move quickly if the council approves.

Discussion at the agenda session focused on program design, scope and cost. Councilmember Jones pressed for strong wraparound mental-health supports and asked that comparisons to other jurisdictions’ models and metrics be included in the final proposal. Councilmember Moore asked how the sponsor arrived at the target capacity of 40 and whether the program would serve families; Lort said the number reflects provider recommendations and that family-serving models require different facilities. Lort said staffing and case management were intentionally budgeted at a higher level to avoid problems seen during earlier, under-resourced efforts.

Council members also asked operational questions about provider selection, procurement timelines and insurance. Lort said she expected administration to decide whether to use an RFP or a noncompetitive contract based on timing and emergency needs, and she suggested that some services (food, volunteer support) could be offset by community partners. Councilmember Bernal asked whether providers would carry primary liability insurance; Lort said the $60,000 insurance line in the draft budget is an estimate provided by experienced operators and that final terms would be set during contract negotiations.

No formal vote occurred during the agenda session. Councilmembers asked staff to bring a detailed implementation plan, procurement approach and comparative examples from other cities to the regular council meeting for formal consideration. The sponsor said she would welcome amendments and stressed the item was an interim, one‑year commitment while longer-term housing initiatives proceed.

Ending: The SafeCamp proposal will return to the full council with a detailed implementation plan, budget breakdown and recommended procurement approach; councilmembers directed staff to provide comparative program outcomes and the proposed provider model prior to a formal vote.","Councilmembers reviewed a walk-on resolution proposing a one-year SafeCamp interim program with a $630,000 budget request to provide staffed tented shelter, sanitation and case management for roughly 40 people while longer-term housing solutions develop.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6195977,"Council revisits ordinance to require disclosure of rental fees; staff to finalize standard form and bilingual template",524,699000,1223000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78&start=699&end=1223","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858423-0c70671c1f041ed3d6c39d7448edde78/thumbnail_699000.jpg","/articles/6195977/Fayetteville-City/Washington-County/Arkansas/Council-revisits-ordinance-to-require-disclosure-of-rental-fees-staff-to-finalize-standard-form-and-bilingual-template","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6195977-d18425eee84be1ff2a90ad3a1071ee20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207326&Signature=SoJL6Hy5pZ5O-WPbzv2QeGNJA5gFCizat~X95OOfIhhIOnKvrzYwUAx4ti9HCdlVZ0Ar0iLh40JpJR6DI~6CLOBUW72S2aSh40IYBsENTTZ4uRd4LYY5Gt5b05WwefhebaGmfpatj7XuWhOmEVo9Bxx8Kgs60UmyQw-kUYYGg7nIlrY-kqaU~JbA7312ob9dtihugXhf6MPCOkaOnCL1o3l0YaOfwvnnZhlh6gQTdkCLOIACZDcjVhIcgnaZsBwbl~7FhGNTBzae4b-IAG~ZnupHm3pbl8qS22NRWH3vNpa6hg4m3OuYXQZKbplKBn6OXz-WLPjcjbBNtSr0R9TOFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmember Moore revisited an ordinance to enact Section 120.03 requiring disclosure of rental fees and costs for leased residential properties in Fayetteville. The ordinance was left on the agenda at prior meetings and remains scheduled for the upcoming regular council meeting.

Moore thanked staff for convening focus groups and for producing an English and Spanish template form; she said the ordinance should require disclosure of primary advertising locations where rental costs are shown and asked the attorney’s office to propose concise language that is least burdensome for property owners while ensuring the disclosure is meaningful. Moore said her intent is to offer the form as a courtesy or guide rather than a mandatory fillable obligation.

Nut graf: councilmembers emphasized they want clarity about what the council will vote on and avoid changing language on the dais. Staff and the city attorney were asked to provide a final draft and to circulate competing shorter templates provided by stakeholders for review; Moore said staff would attempt to finalize the ordinance amendments by the end of the week so the council could vote on Tuesday.

Councilmembers debated whether the ordinance should reference an administrative form and whether the administration should maintain and update the form rather than codifying it in the ordinance; Moore and other members said they preferred staff to administer form content and to reserve the ordinance for substantive disclosure requirements. No formal vote took place at the agenda session.

Ending: Staff and the attorney’s office will prepare amended ordinance language and a standardized English and Spanish disclosure template and circulate revisions to councilmembers before the regular meeting.","Councilmember Moore led discussion on an ordinance to enact Section 120.03, requiring disclosure of rental fees and costs for residential leases; council directed staff and the city attorney to refine language and prepare a standard form in English and Spanish for council review before adoption.","actionData","errors"]
