CEMETERY RESOLUTIONS The council considered two cemetery resolutions; Hazel D. Loggins, #2001-86-2 for $100.00 and Lois Brazil, #2001-86-1 for $600.00. Councilmember Cargill moved to adopt the resolutions and Councilmember Watkins seconded. All voted for. LIAISON REPORTS Mayor Biard said the Interlocal Board met and recommended two minor changes in the Interlocal agreement. The first change was in section J to delete the word felony from the following sentence. "The Sheriff is authorized to use any employees as the Sheriff deems necessary which are a part of the Metropolitan Branch for the purpose of investigating alleged felony offenses of the Arkansas Criminal Code which may occur in either the County or the City. The Sheriff said if an officer is being dispatched, it is not always clear at the time if it is a felony or not. The second change is in section L that states that the Interlocal Board will meet twice a year on the third Tuesday of March and the third Tuesday of September. The Mayor said the City Clerk and the County Clerk, who are both required to attend the September meeting are out of town attending schools at that time. The board recommended the second Thursday of September for the annual meeting. Councilmember Cargill moved to approve the recommended changes and Councilmember Pectol. An ordinance to incorporate the changes and a revised Interlocal Agreement will be presented at the next meeting.
