[6. September 2025 Financials]

WITH 83% OF THE YEAR GONE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE BUDGETS WOULD HAVE 83% OF THE MONEY SPENT. SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE WE SEE SOME BUDGETS THAT STILL HAVE 100%, BUT SOME OF THOSE ARE FOR LIKE POSITIONS THAT MAY HAVE OPENINGS. SO I KNOW WE'LL BE LOOKING AT WHAT PERCENT IS LEFT OVER AT THE END OF THE YEAR AS WE BUDGET. YES, MA'AM. YOU ALL

SO WITH THAT, I HAVE IT ON YOUR SCREEN IN CASE YOU NEED A VISUAL. SO LOTS THREE AND FOUR.

THIS IS THREE AND FOUR. THE REQUEST WAS TO REZONE TO C3 AND WITH A MORE INTENSE ZONING ON LOT FIVE AND SIX TO THE REAR OF THE SUBDIVISION. SO WITH THAT, PLANNING COMMISSION DID RECOMMEND A COMPREHENSIVE REZONE OF LOTS THREE AND FOUR TO C3 AND FIVE AND SIX TO C4.

THERE ARE A SLEW OF USES. IT CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM A RESTAURANT TO A SERVICE STATION WITH A CONDITIONAL USE.

AND JUST TO CLARIFY, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS? YES. I JUST NEED TO MOVE 60,000 FROM FROM A TREATMENT FROM TREATMENT COST, WHICH WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE THE WHOLE. BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK, IF YOU FINANCIALS, WE GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH TO THE ENGINEERING AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES.

IS THAT WHAT WE'RE THINKING? YES, YES, BECAUSE I'M SURE WE'LL BE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. WE'LL BE ENGAGING IN THAT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ENOUGH FOR THAT BEFORE THE NEW BUDGET, YOU KNOW. SO AND JUST JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT THAT MEANS IS. IF WE ARE IF WE ARE GOING TO BE RENEGOTIATING THE EXISTING COURT ORDER, THEN REALLY WE NEED A SPECIALIZED ATTORNEY, AN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW. SO THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD BE FOR.

THERE'S NO ONE HAS BEEN SELECTED AT THIS TIME, BUT THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF IT. AND I'LL GO AHEAD. AS THE MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, IT'S ON THE WASTEWATER COMMITTEE. WE DEFINITELY SUPPORT THIS. WE ALSO YOU'LL SEE A REPORT IN THE NEXT ITEM THAT'S RECOMMENDING SOME THINGS AND TALKING TO HIGHLIGHTING SOME PEOPLE. SO AS YOUR REPRESENTATIVE, I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU DOING THIS. OKAY. I'LL MOVE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION FOR ADOPTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER THOMAS.

ROLL CALL, PLEASE. BROOKS I BRODERICK, I MCCULLOUGH I TREAT I TOWNSEND I THOMAS WILLIAMS I WADE THE MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT UP WE HAVE A REPORT FROM THE WASTEWATER COMMITTEE. COUNCIL MEMBER WILLIAMS. YES. I'M GOING TO ASK I NEED TO SHARE SOME THINGS WITH YOU. AND THIS IS JUST GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS. EVERYONE IN OUR HOME, WE WE KNOW HOW TO FLIP THE SWITCH TO TURN ON OUR ELECTRICITY. YES. OKAY. I NEED TO TALK LOUDER. PLEASE PULL IT CLOSER TO YOUR MOUTH. SOMEONE IS SAYING THAT. OH MY GOSH, Y'ALL HEARD THAT. FOR THE RECORD, WE CAN FLIP A SWITCH FOR OUR LIGHTS. WE TURN THE FAUCET AND WE HAVE OUR WATER AND WE HIT THE COMMODE FLUSH AND WE HOPE IT WORKS. ALRIGHT, I'VE BEEN ON SEVERAL COMMITTEES. THIS IS A COMMITTEE THAT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AND WE ALL JUST ASSUME EVERYTHING WORKS IN THIS AREA. WELL, I WANT TO JUST SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS BECAUSE WE HAD WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF GOOD MEETINGS HERE LATELY, AND I'M GOING TO ASK ERIC FLEMING TO STAND UP THERE WITH SCOTT GREENWOOD, PLEASE. THESE TWO GENTLEMEN ARE OUR EXPERTS IN SCOTT, WHILE YOU'RE WONDERFUL AND YOU'RE EMPLOYED, THIS IS A VOLUNTEER. AND I WANT TO SAY SOME THINGS ABOUT ERIC TO YOU GUYS. SO PLEASE LISTEN JUST A SECOND. HE VOLUNTEERS TO CHAIR THIS COMMITTEE AND HAS BEEN THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. LIKE TEN. HOW MANY? ERIC I'VE BEEN ON IT. 13. OKAY. SO HE'S BEEN THE CHAIR FOR 90% OF THAT TIME. HE HAS A DEGREE IN WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT. I'M GOING TO READ YOU A COUPLE OF LITTLE THINGS

[00:15:03]

SO HE'S WORKING WITH US IN OUR CITY HERE, AND HE INSPECTS BOTH THE SITES IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND HAS INSPECTED THE ONES IN SHERWOOD. HE ALSO HAS BEEN A BRANCH MANAGER, AND HE TRAINED THE INSPECTORS ACROSS THE STATE AND PROBABLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HE'S CONSIDERED AN EXPERT WITNESS, HAS TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF A GRAND JURY WITH REGARD TO WASTEWATER ISSUES. HE'S BEEN RECOGNIZED AS AN OUTSTANDING PERSON IN WASTE INDUSTRY, AND HE SURPASSED CHAIRMAN OF THE ARKANSAS ASSOCIATION. NOW THIS MAN IS OUR IS OUR LEADER FOR OUR WASTEWATER. AND IF YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS I DO, I MEAN, WHICH IS Y'ALL SAW HOW LITTLE IT IS. I LIKE HAVING SOMEONE IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HECK HE'S TALKING ABOUT. WHEN SCOTT'S USING ALL THESE PHRASES ABOUT THESE NUMBERS AND WHAT THESE INTERCEPTORS ARE GOING TO DO, AND, AND I JUST NOD AND THEN I HAVE TO GO LOOK EVERYTHING UP. BUT THESE GENTLEMEN, BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE THINGS, HAVE ACTUALLY WE USED TO HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL ATTORNEY THAT WORKED AND WAS ON OUR BOARD, ON OUR, OUR BOARD. AND ERIC AND SCOTT ARE ASKING THAT THAT PERSON THAT WE SEARCH AND FIND SOMEBODY, THIS IS GOING TO COME TO THE BUDGET, OBVIOUSLY, BUT I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT IT WAS A UNANIMOUS VOTE OF THE GROUP. THERE'S FIVE PEOPLE ON THE COMMITTEE IN ADDITION TO ERIC, BUT AND A LADY WHO IS ON IT WORKS FOR ADK AND HAS WORKED FOR LIKE 20 YEARS FROM ADK. SO WE HAVE EXPERIENCED RESIDENTS WHO KNOW THIS BUSINESS AND THEY'RE HERE HELPING LEAD US. SO WHEN THEY'RE RECOMMENDING THAT WE HAVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERSON HIRED WHO IS HERE PROTECTING THE THE RIGHTS AND THE INTERESTS OF SHERWOOD, I THINK WE OUGHT TO LISTEN. AND I'VE ASKED IF HE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY. AND HE'S SHY LIKE ME. BUT HE DID SAY HE MIGHT SAY SOMETHING. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO REPRESENT THE CITY OF SHERWOOD AND VOLUNTEER OUR WASTEWATER SYSTEM. THERE'S BEEN SOME MISINFORMATION OUT THERE THAT WE HAVE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS, AND THIS IS ALL INCORRECT. YOU KNOW, IF IF YOU LOOK IN THE PUBLIC RECORD AND EVERYTHING PAST INSPECTION REPORTS, ADK COMES THROUGH HERE ALL THE TIME. THEY INSPECT THE WASTEWATER PLANTS. AND SCOTT HAS DONE A GREAT JOB. THEY'RE ALWAYS IN COMPLIANCE. ALL THESE STORIES ABOUT FLOODING AND OVERFLOWS AND STUFF SHOW THEM TO US. WE WE IF THEY'RE GOING ON, PLEASE BRING IT FORWARD TO US. WE CAN ADDRESS IT. BUT AS FAR AS WE KNOW, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS LIKE THIS THAT YOU'VE BEEN READING IN THE MEDIA AND SEEING OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC. SO I JUST WANT TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW SCOTT'S DOING A HECK OF A JOB, AND I'M HELPING EVERY WAY I CAN, AND OUR SYSTEM IS IN GOOD SHAPE.

SO AND JUST THANK YOU BOTH FOR COMING. I THOUGHT WE DON'T ALWAYS DO REPORTS ABOUT COMMITTEES, BUT I THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO HAVE THIS COMMITTEE REPORT THIS MONTH. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU FOR COMING ON YOUR DAY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO. SCOTT, DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? WELL, WELL, ERIC PRETTY MUCH SAID IT. I WAS GOING TO SAY WE WE ARE NOT. THE BIGGEST THING IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS WE'RE NOT IN THE DANGER OF SHUTTING DOWN AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THAT'S, YOU KNOW, I GUARANTEE I PROMISE YOU, NOVEMBER 1ST THE PULLETS WILL FLUSH. THANK YOU. SCOTT, DOES EVERYBODY HEAR THAT? YAY, SCOTT. YEAH, OKAY. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. BEVERLY. THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE NOT ON THOSE COMMITTEES. BUT THAT WAS GREAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU. WE APPRECIATE THAT. THANK

[9. Old Business]

MAYOR, I HAD ASKED MR. COBB IF HE WOULD SPEAK TO YOU, AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE DID OR DIDN'T OR IF HE MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN. BUT JUST LIKE MISS WILLIAMS JUST DID, I THINK I KNOW WE TOOK THE REPORTS OFF THE AGENDA BECAUSE WE KEPT SAYING, WELL, WE DIDN'T MEET, WE DIDN'T MEET, WE DIDN'T MEET. IT GOT VERY REDUNDANT HEARING THAT WE DIDN'T MEET, WE DIDN'T MEET.

BUT I THINK IF A COMMITTEE OR COMMISSION MEETS, WE NEED TO HAVE A REPORT ON THE AGENDA AND NOT JUST FOR US, BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL, BECAUSE THEN THEY CAN HEAR WHAT HAPPENED, ALSO BECAUSE THEY DON'T GET THE REPORTS IN THE PACKET. AND FOR INSTANCE, AMP MET ON SEPTEMBER 17TH AND ON SOME STUFF GOING ON OVER IN LAKE CHERRYWOOD. AND

[00:20:08]

THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO START PUTTING OUT SOME NO PARKING THIS SIDE OF THE STREET. SIGNS IN THE CONSTRUCTION ZONES OF NOT JUST ANY SINGLE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, BUT THESE, THESE AREAS WHERE THERE'S LOTS OF HOUSES BEING BUILT BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING THE CONTRACTORS PARKING EVERYWHERE AND THE GARBAGE TRUCKS, MUCH LESS, YOU KNOW, REGULAR TRAFFIC TO JUST HAVING TROUBLES, YOU KNOW, MEANDERING THROUGH THERE. SO THEY'RE GOING TO START THAT AND GET, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LEAVE A LANE OPEN FOR THAT. AND OBVIOUSLY FOR MEDICAL AND EMERGENCY SERVICES TOO. SO GETTING CALLS ABOUT THAT, THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THAT'S DOING. IT WASN'T REALLY A VOTE, BUT WE WERE ALL IN FAVOR OF, YOU KNOW, AND THEY WERE LETTING US KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING ON THAT. SO THANK YOU. I DON'T THINK THERE WERE ANY OTHER CORRECT COMMITTEES THAT MET. OKAY, GREAT. UNDER NEW BUSINESS,

[10. New Business]

ALRIGHT. THIS IS MINE. I WAS ASKED TO REMIND EVERYBODY. BY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT.

WE HAD A COUPLE CALLS. PLEASE DO NOT RIDE BIKES AND BRING DOGS IN AND SO FORTH INSIDE THE PICKLEBALL COURTS BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE DETERIORATION OF SURFACING AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. WE JUST WE NEED THEM TO BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES IN WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED FOR. SO AND TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, BECAUSE IT WAS IN OUR WARD WHERE THESE COMPLAINTS WERE HAPPENING, AND IN TALKING TO THE PARKS AND RECS, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE A SMALL CHILD ON A TRICYCLE INSIDE THAT LITTLE FENCED IN AREA LEARNING HOW TO RIDE. BUT WHEN THEY TIP THAT OVER IN THE HANDLEBARS OR THE PEDALS HIT THAT SURFACE, IT DETERIORATES THAT SURFACE AND TEARS IT UP. AND I'M SURE PEOPLE HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT THIS IS. AND THEY'VE HAD TO RESURFACE ONE OF THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AT LEAST TWICE. WELL, THAT ONCE ONE TIME. OKAY. YEAH, BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING NICKS AND HOES AROUND IT WHERE PEOPLE WERE GOING IN WITH SKATEBOARDING AND, AND DIFFERENT THINGS IN THE PICKLEBALL COURTS. SO THAT'S WHAT BROUGHT THIS TO LIGHT, AND I MIGHT ADD, BECAUSE WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME UP HERE AT CITY HALL PARK, THIS IS A GREAT PLACE WITH THE SIDEWALK UP HERE TO TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO RIDE YOUR BIKES UP HERE. SO WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME SCOOTERS, BIKES, ETC. SO IF YOU NEED ANOTHER PLACE, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER PLACE AVAILABLE. YES, I WAS ASKED TO ALSO PUT ON HERE AN BEFORE WE MOVE ON. YEAH. DO WE HAVE ADEQUATE LARGE SIGNAGE OKAY. YES. AND I THINK THE RULES ARE UP. IT'S JUST IT'S SOMETIMES BULLET NUMBER SIX ON THE PICKLEBALL COURT RULES. NO BICYCLES I THINK THAT DOT DOT DOT. OKAY. UPDATE FROM TOWN HALL MEETING. I HEARD I HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT. I HEARD SOME PEOPLE MADE SOME COMMENTS. THEY LIKED HAVING THE PROFESSIONALS DO THE CONVERSATIONS AND SHARE THE THEIR PROFESSION. AS YOU SAY, WHEN YOU HAVE SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING VERSUS US LAYPEOPLE, WE'RE NOT THE LAYPEOPLE ABOUT BUILDING BUILDINGS OR BOND ISSUES, BUT THEY APPRECIATED IT. AND I WILL SAY THAT I'VE HEARD SOME PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO'S THEY WERE ON THE FENCE OR, AND HAVE CHANGED TO BEING VERY POSITIVE FOR THE BOND ISSUE BECAUSE OF THAT MEETING. SO I HOPE THAT PEOPLE. YES. AND JUST TO

[00:25:05]
