Mountain Home City Council will be holding a regularly scheduled meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
Tonight’s ordinances will cover three items regarding residential and commercial properties at Coley Drive, Arkansas Avenue, sections of Wallace Knob Road, and 60 Roberts Drive.
A presentation on the changes being made to each property will be presented by Ted Sanders. More information about the properties can be found in the packet below.
Danny Ellington of Engineering Services Inc. will also be giving a presentation on the final plat of Big Creek Patio Homes and the improvements that will be made to the plat pending City Council’s approval.
In addition to those ordinances, the Parks Department will be requesting permission to scrap old light fixtures. A photo of the old fixtures can be seen below.
The Water, Parks and Fire Departments will also be requesting approval of a list of items to be sold at auction. Some items include an 18-inch chainsaw, a 2 ¼ ton floor jack, generators, fluorescent light fixtures, a 4,000 gallon storage tank, desks, chairs, computer equipment, baseball equipment, riding lawn mowers and more.
Mayor Adams is also expected to request approval of several ARDOT grant applications.
Arnold Knox will also request that the City Council approve the use of ASTERRA SAR Satellite imagery to detect underground leaks within the city’s water line system. Up to 255 miles of main and service lines may be surveyed if City Council approves to go ahead with the service.
ASTERRA uses Utilis-patented technology for infrastructure condition assessment, pipe replacement modeling, and leak detection in urban treated water networks, using L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mounted on a satellite. The technology is based on a proprietary algorithm that detects soil moisture resulting from treated water leaks, through the analysis of SAR data.
Two pricing options will be presented to the Council. One for $18,000 and one for $36,000.
Finally, City Council will take up an ordinance redefining certain job classifications and compensations plans within the city’s departments. The Parks Supervisor position will be removed and replaced by two new positions for Buildings Supervisor and Grounds Supervisor.
The last ordinance for the night covers updates to the city’s personnel policy handbook.
