The Jonesboro Public Works Committee voted to forward Resolution 24185 to the full City Council, authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute documents to purchase permanent right-of-way at 3219 South Caraway Road for $30,500.

The resolution states the city desires the property to construct and maintain roadway improvements and that the purchase price is $30,500. The resolution also specifies that funding for the purchase will come from the capital improvement budget. Committee members moved and seconded the item and approved forwarding it to council by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The committee did not discuss design details of the roadway improvements or acquisition alternatives at the meeting. The resolution delegates authority to the mayor and city clerk to complete the transaction upon passage by council.

Final acquisition, closing and any related construction scheduling and budgets will be addressed by City Council and implementing departments once the council acts.
