On Sept. 23, 2025, the Pulaski County Quorum Court unanimously approved five ordinances that appropriate emergency-management and juvenile-detention funds, authorize a five-year interlocal agreement for emergency medical services in unincorporated areas, establish an E‑911 property system, and expand the county PACE district to the metro region.
The Pulaski County Quorum Court on Sept. 23, 2025, approved five ordinances covering county emergency-management funding, juvenile-detention grant aid, a five-year interlocal agreement with the City of Little Rock for emergency medical services in unincorporated Pulaski County, an E‑911 property system, and expansion and renaming of the county PACE district.
The measures were adopted unanimously, with each roll call recorded as 15 ayes and 0 nays. The court moved through the items with little discussion; clerical reading of the ordinances and roll-call votes followed motions by individual justices.
Ordinance 25 I 60 recognized and appropriated reimbursement funds for the Pulaski County Office of Emergency Management. Justice Stowers moved for adoption; the motion carried on a 15-0 roll call. Ordinance 25 I 61 amended the annual county budget to recognize and appropriate grant and aid funds for the juvenile-detention department. Justice Massey moved for adoption; the measure passed 15-0.
Ordinance 25 I 62 authorized the Pulaski County judge to enter into an interlocal agreement with the City of Little Rock to allow Metropolitan Emergency Medical Services to continue providing services to residents of unincorporated Pulaski County for five years. Justice Capps moved the ordinance; the court approved it 15-0. Greg Thompson, introduced during the item as “director of Williams,” and Scott Gordon, introduced as a board representative, were present when the measure was called; no substantive public commentary on the ordinance was recorded.
Ordinance 25 I 63 established an orderly system for addressing property and other provisions to maintain an effective E‑911 system. Justice Young Baker moved for adoption; the court approved it 15-0. Ordinance 25 I 65 expanded the Pulaski County energy improvement PACE district to the metropolitan planning region and renamed it the Arkansas PACE Improvement District to facilitate an Arkansas PACE program. Justice Massey moved for adoption; it passed 15-0.
All five ordinances were read aloud by the clerk during the meeting packet review and then adopted on roll-call votes with no recorded amendments or substantive debate in the transcript. The agenda committee had earlier reported favorably on the items referenced as 25 I 60, 25 I 61, 25 I 62, 25 I 63 and 25 I 65.
The court concluded the business portion of the agenda and moved to announcements and public comment; the transcript records no substantive public comments following the ordinance votes.
