The Jonesboro City Council closed a public hearing on a request from First United Methodist Church of Jonesboro to abandon the alley in Block 3 of Knight's First Addition after no one from the public spoke, a staff member said.
A staff member leading the hearing read the item as "the abandonment of the alley in Block 3 of Knight's First addition to the city of Jonesboro, Arkansas as requested by First United Methodist Church of Jonesboro, Arkansas," then asked for discussion and public comment. The staff member said, "I don't see any, so we'll go ahead and close this public hearing." No council discussion or a vote on the abandonment appears in the provided transcript.
The public hearing was brief and, according to the transcript, produced no testimony or questions from members of the public in the council chambers. The transcript does not record any motion, vote, or council direction following the hearing.
Next steps for the abandonment request — including whether the council will schedule an ordinance, vote, or additional public notice — were not specified in the transcript.
The meeting then paused briefly; a staff member said, "And so we'll start city council here in about 4 minutes."
