Commission approves consent agenda, including $1,200 health allocation and billboard cost share
Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda, which included: approval of May 6 meeting minutes; a $1,200 allocation from unpledged sales health care sales tax to STK Health for uncompensated care; and a $1,874.34 payment from the transient guest tax fund as the city's 50% share to replace a billboard frame at Exit 213.
The Arkansas City Commission approved its consent agenda, which included three items: approval of the May 6, 2025 regular meeting minutes; a resolution allocating $1,200 in unpledged health-care sales tax funds to STK Health to cover uncompensated care; and a resolution authorizing payment of $1,874.34 from the transient guest tax fund to Cardinal Sign LLC as the city’s 50% share to replace a billboard frame at Exit 213 in partnership with Visit Arc City.
During discussion, commissioners asked whether parish/business partners would donate installation labor for the billboard replacement; staff said Cardinal and a partner would donate labor while a local contractor would assist with installation because of access issues. Commissioners also described the billboard’s location (Exit 213) and noted the city owns the sign location and had maintained a presence there since the 1990s.
A motion to accept the consent agenda carried with unanimous voice vote recorded as “Aye;” no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.
