Jonesboro committee forwards five property easement and right-of-way resolutions to full council
Summary
During a brief Jonesboro City Council committee meeting, members approved minutes and recommended five resolutions to the full council to accept rights-of-way, easements, and a property purchase for sidewalk, drainage, roadway and pedestrian/bicycle improvements.
The Jonesboro City Council committee voted to approve minutes from the June 3, 2025 meeting and recommended five resolutions to the full City Council to accept rights-of-way, easements and a property purchase for sidewalk, drainage, roadway and pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure improvements.
The items advanced included resolutions to accept a permanent five-foot right-of-way at 593 South Madison Street for sidewalk work; a 15-foot drainage easement from Patsy Sue Brown for drainage improvements; a permanent right-of-way conveyed by James Keller, trustee of the James Keller Living Trust, for roadway improvements (described in the packet as 0.25 acre); a construction easement at 1509 Wood Street for sidewalk construction totaling about 466 square feet; and the offer and acceptance to purchase additional right-of-way at 101 Mark Street, described as 383 square feet, with funding identified from the city’s capital improvements budget. Committee members moved and seconded each item and instructed staff to forward them to the full council for final action.
The committee approved the minutes identified in the packet as "Minutes 25 0 47" from the June 3, 2025 meeting and then considered the resolutions. For the purchase at 101 Mark Street the resolution text in the packet specifies the purchase offer has been made and accepted and that the necessary offer-and-acceptance documents will be executed upon passage; the packet also states funding will come from the capital improvements budget.
No public comments on these items were recorded in the committee meeting transcript. The transcript does not list individual vote tallies for the recommended resolutions; in each case the presiding officer asked members to cast their votes and the clerk recorded the recommendation to forward the item to full council. The committee chair also noted one councilmember, Mark, as excused during roll call.
The forwarded resolutions will appear on the full Jonesboro City Council agenda for final consideration and any required votes.
