The Little Flock City Council on Feb. 17 adopted three ordinances and two resolutions covering utility franchises, the Little Flock Police Department policy manual and adjustments to the 2024 budget and personnel handbook.

Vote recorded as unanimous among present council members. - Ordinance 2025‑002 (Adopt LFPD Policy Manual): the council suspended three readings, adopted the policy manual and voted to invoke the emergency clause so the ordinance took effect immediately; recorded votes were unanimous among present members. - Ordinance 2025‑003 (Amend certain utility franchise fee rates): three readings were suspended and the ordinance was adopted with unanimous recorded votes among those present.
