The meeting was called to order by Mayor Judy Nation. Roll Call: Hunt, Wiles, Blair, Rissler, Carroll, Burns and Allen – present. City Representatives Present: Christina Petriches, Interim City Administrator; Jene’ Fain, City Clerk; Jay Williams, City Attorney; Scott Miller, Chief of Police; Dennis Kindy, Public Works Director; Kris Paxton, Community Development Director; Ben Rhodes, and Senior Planner; Maegan Thomas, Planner II. Director Blair-Finn led the opening prayer. Mayor Nation led the Pledge of Allegiance. At this time, Mayor Nation asked if there were any comments from the audience regarding an item not on the City’s agenda. Mark Miller (22587 Westwood Dr.) brought up a development that was passed on Oak Crest Rd two years ago and a part of that discussion was about moving Dawn Hill Rd. and Oak Crest Rd. up on the road improvement projects. The master street plan doesn’t list off the streets and the timeline in which those projects will be addressed. He would like for Dawn Hill Rd. and Oak Crest Rd. to be on this list. He understands that the county has given the city money to work on Oak Crest and would like an answer as to the timeline. He also wanted to mention that he went to go recycle four items at the transfer station and was going to be charged $28 to recycle those items. Rather than recycle, he chose to pay the $10 minimum to have them put it in the dumpster. He would like for the recycling fees to be looked at being more of a flat fee. He lastly was hoping everyone votes for the Airport Improvement Project, as a previous pilot and seeing the amount of people that are moving to this area needing hangar space. Arthur Hulber (20705 Hwy 16) wanted to thank everyone for their support and all who came out to the Dogwood Festival. More people showed up Friday and Saturday compared to last year and new relationships built with economic development. He thanked all the city departments coming together to collaborate and make it successful. He appreciates how the city and board are supportive of businesses, but in talking with the staff, would like to see an ordinance revised for mobile vendors in the city. He would ask the board to pass that ordinance fairly quickly and look into the Hawkins permit. Corrie Irwin (904 W Elgin St.) wanted to thank everyone who has reached out to her about her flower truck. She echoes what Arthur said and has not had much communication from the city as Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page | 2 May 6, 2025 to the reasoning behind her special event permit denial. She is running into a lot of road blocks working with the city in getting the right licensing and permits. She left a good paying job to start this business and would not have done it had the city told her she couldn’t. She understands glitches happen but the license was completely taken away. Main Street embarrassed her in front of customers and it has been a lot/cost her a lot of money. She feels like something needs to happen to fix this issue because several businesses are leaving the city because of it. The mayor asked if there were any comments on an item on the Consent Agenda. There were none. Consent Agenda A. Regular Meeting Minutes / April 15, 2025 B. Special-Called Meeting Minutes / April 10, 2025 C.

She reminded the board about the tourism survey deadline on June 1st and encouraged everyone to fill it out. She also wanted to mention it is Public Service Recognition Week May 4th to 10th and this week we extend or heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated workers who keep our city running smoothly. Directors Reports – Mayor – May 4 – 10 is a week of celebration for serving and the 56th annual municipal clerks week. She received a call from ARDOT for study at the Kenwood intersection that does warrant a traffic signal. They plan to reduce the speed limit and place a four-way stop. She also received an email regarding basketball camps this summer and Siloam was chosen for Coach Cal to come set up a camp on June 5th. Hunt – She hopes there can be a resolution for Corrie and other businesses. She wants more communication with her. She has been encouraged with how we have handled other issues we need to do the same with these businesses. She read an article about the Public Service Recognition week and thanked the staff for all they do. Wiles – He feels like he is always telling staff what a great job they do and hopes that they don’t take for granted how much they are appreciated. He wants to call out the street department, a lot of things done are inconvenient, but they have to be done. They are working on his street this week and it is challenging since it is a cul-de-sac. They were working early and they were right in front of his house and there was a young man that was trying the vehicle that was tearing up the asphalt. He couldn’t go anywhere and they had a nice conversation and feels that it was very refreshing. He thanked the Street Dept. He appreciated the very informative trip for the Waste to Energy. Blair – She thanks Christina for her willingness and dedication to step up into the administrator position. She thanks Jene for all the hard work, professionalism and everything she has brought to the city. She thanked staff and Mr. Caldwell for their work on the sidewalk ordinance. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page | 5 May 6, 2025 Rissler – She thanked Jene for always being available for help and the work she does. She’s proud of Corrie for standing up and encourages her to keep standing up because we do want her here in Siloam. This also has affected Kris Paxton and her daughters’ lemonade stands and wants to be creative and welcome small businesses. She is proud of Corrie and thanks Arthur for standing up for small businesses. Her and her husband volunteered at the Chamber tent at the Dogwood festival and had all positive comments about the new layout. She thanked Arthur and his staff for their hard work. She thanked PD and FD for the level of commitment to protecting our citizens. She was contacted by the school board member and health and wellness committee that wants to do a wellness program to encourage kids to enter into events. She would like us to look into that partnership. Carroll – He wishes for a quick and effective solution for Corrie Irwin. He likes to see the work done on the Bird Streets. He thanked Arthur and his crew for a successful Dogwood festival and he looks forward to the direction the city is continuing to move to make a good place to be. Last Friday city staff had a picnic and he was sorry to have missed it. He thanked Jene Fain for her work she does at the City and looks forward to meeting with Christina. Burns – He thanked the Fire Department for the Bells Across America, as well as the Police Department and Color Guard from NWA. He thinks more young people should attend. He thinks that the Dogwood Festival had great weather, he heard positives and negatives and understands that change is difficult. The change he is looking at for next year is a quality of life tax. He would like to work on board goals, specifically the American Legion and Community building as well as Sager Creek. This is partly because as the bypass grows, he does not want the City left behind. He has a concern on wastewater management. Kevin will be working with the company doing this work and we have to make it a priority. He lastly mentioned that resolution 05-24 #7 cell phone and pager, need to address that no pagers use anymore. It mentions cellphones be off or on silent and should not be used in meetings, but wants some etiquette on that and update it since they do use their cell phones for various purposes. Allen – He thanked Arthur Hulbert for working with staff for hawking permitting for future issues for mobile vendors. He thanked Kris Paxton for going the extra mile on his work for this project even if it didn’t go through. He feels that there is a solution for a business to fit somewhere in our codes regardless of the type of business to operate here in Siloam. He apologized to Corrie for what she went through and mentioned it shouldn’t have been that way. Main street does not speak for the city or represent the city and feels the words from Main street were out of line. He pointed out that regarding the controversial deck on Milling Around. After the third reading, he learned some things and heard the previous administrator told staff not to tell the board certain things. He had considered requested a reconsideration. He felt they did a good job on the building and still feels it was a wise decision, but would like to see more done on striping in front of the building. Lastly, there were comments on the City facebook page stating facts that were against what he previously stated. He also was not against employee raises. He would like to clarify tonight and if you question what was said, the meetings are all on the City website. He compliments the Police Department for the response to the online threat during the Dogwood festival. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page | 6 May 6, 2025 A motion was made to go into executive session by Rissler and seconded by Burns at 7:53pm.

Background: The Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) offers financial support to municipal electric utilities through its AMI Rider Program. This program allows cities to finance the purchase and installation of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meters over time. Since initiating its AMI program, the City of Siloam Springs has installed 9,653 AMI Meters through utilization of the GRDA AMI Rider. The Electric department currently has approximately 200 meters on hand, with 480 remaining to complete the system wide conversion. TESCO Nighthawk, the vendor previously approved and utilized throughout the project, has provided a quote of $ 156,233.70 for the final meter purchases. Additionally, with several projects needing attention, staff would like to have these meters changed out before the scheduled change over in the billing platform, BS & A. TESCO Nighthawk provided a quote of $24,350 to change out the remaining meters. GRDA is willing to add the meter purchase and the contractor expenditure to our AMI Rider account. This will change the city’s current monthly AMI meter payment of $14,377.69 to $17,501.55 per month at zero interest. Fiscal Impact: The total cost of the additional meters is $156,233.70, with an additional $24,950.00 to contract TESCO Nighthawk for the change out of approximately 480 meters. Utilizing GRDA financing for this expenditure will help expedite the completion of the AMI Meter Project. This will increase the city’s monthly AMI payment by $3,123.86, for a new total of $17,501.55 per month.

The current language in the ordinance contains ambiguity, particularly in distinguishing the charges related to fuel versus power costs. Background: The ordinance, as currently written, does not clearly specify that the City is charged by its wholesale power supplier for power costs on a monthly basis. Instead, the existing wording implies a fuel adjustment. This ambiguity could lead to confusion or misinterpretation of the charges applied to the City's utility costs. Proposed Amendment: To resolve this ambiguity, the ordinance should be amended to explicitly reflect that the City is billed for power costs, rather than a fuel cost adjustment, on a monthly basis by its wholesale supplier. This amendment is a housekeeping measure designed to clarify the language and ensure accurate and transparent billing practices. Conclusion: The proposed language amendment will improve clarity and accuracy in the ordinance, eliminating any confusion regarding the charges related to power costs. This is a straightforward housekeeping change that will not impact the overall structure of the ordinance. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this amendment.

Purpose: This memo serves to address the need to amend the current ordinance that outlines the structure of the Public Services Department. At present, the ordinance includes specific language assigning particular divisions to the Public Services Department. Notably, no other department has an ordinance that explicitly defines which divisions fall under its oversight. This inconsistency creates limitations in the City’s ability to organize and manage departmental responsibilities effectively. To address this, we propose an amendment that removes the specified divisions from the ordinance. The intent of this change is to grant the City Administrator the authority to reassign divisions to different departments as operational needs evolve. This flexibility will support more efficient management and allow for timely adjustments to departmental functions and resources. We recommend moving forward with this amendment to align the structure of the Public Services Department with that of other City departments and enhance administrative flexibility. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact associated with this amendment.

The easement to be vacated is a 20- foot wide east/west utility easement located to the south of Lot 3, filed for record with instrument number 2021187812. The easements are not needed by the City or private utility operators and are requested to be permanently closed. All relevant utilities and City departments have signed off on the easement vacation, as indicated in the attached memorandum. Finally, it should be noted that these requests are forwarded directly to the Board and bypass the Planning Commission; this is because easements and rights-of-way are typically vacated by the Board. Finally, staff has received no evidence that the proposal interferes with the reasonable peace or enjoyment of the neighboring properties. Staff does not anticipate that any property values will be substantially damaged, and the proposal appears to be adequately supported by infrastructure. Fiscal Impact: Staff does not anticipate any fiscal impacts as a result of this request. Attachments: 1. Vacation Petition 2. Vacation Exhibit 3. Department Head Sign-Off Memo. 4.
