The Faulkner County Budget and Finance Committee voted to forward two ordinances to the full court during its meeting.
The committee placed ordinance 24‑54 on the table and approved forwarding it to the full court after a brief discussion. The chair called attention to section 10 of the ordinance, which authorizes a $500,000 appropriation from the county 911 fund. The chair said the appropriation is connected to the public safety answering point (PSAP) consolidation that is occurring with the City of Conway.
Committee members then moved to put ordinance 24‑55 on the table. The chair said this item had been heard recently in personnel; no additional committee questions were recorded and the committee approved forwarding ordinance 24‑55 to the full court.
Both measures were advanced by voice vote; the chair called for those in favor to say “aye,” and no opposition was recorded in the committee’s public remarks. The committee took no final action to adopt the ordinances — both were forwarded to the full court for further consideration and any subsequent formal action.
