City Attorney Stevenson read for the first time an ordinance to create a transportation department and to establish “WM Connect” as the City of West Memphis public transportation service. The item was heard for first reading and scheduled to return to the agenda in two weeks.
The measure as read would authorize the implementation, operations, funding and oversight of WM Connect. No vote on adoption occurred at this meeting; councilors concurred that staff should provide additional details before the second reading.
