At this time, Mayor Nation asked if there were any comments from the audience regarding an item not on the City' s agenda. Larry Kenamore ( 207 Western Hills Drive) addressed the board regarding utility rate increases: " First, I believe you should have explained to the citizens that the city makes over$ 30 million a year profit just from the electric rates. And this was really hard to get. I can thank one of the board members here for providing that to us." He continued with several points: Requesting information about profit from water supply; Questioning why electric rates need to be raised with $ 30 million profit; Noting that businesses are " tripling and quadrupling in Siloam Springs every year"; Suggesting raising sales taxes or business rates instead of resident rates; Stating: " We're already considered a low income city with the utility rate increase.

Director Burns then addressed Item F, asking Christina Petriches about the selection process for utility commission appointments. Petriches explained: " The city administrator appoints. So, the process that we normally go through is that there is an application process and then the applications are reviewed and, but then the board, once the city administrator appoints the board has to confirm." Burns noted: " I' ve had an individual used to work for the city that, that I know is very knowledgeable with utilities. I, I don't, you know, I don't know the, I just, I' m asking that because the individual's concern that, you know, they weren't selected."

Dustin Kindell briefed the item. Director Blair- Finn inquired about charging other departments for training: " I know other cities come train here and I think it was mentioned like is there a way, since we have a lot of nice equipment, is there a way that we can get paid for the training and the things we do?" Battalion Chief Brian Garbutt responded extensively about the reciprocal training arrangements with other departments and the challenges of cost- sharing: " There is a very much joint share sharing. There are other departments though, especially smaller departments, volunteer departments that do come train with us where we' re looking to, and we' ve been in talks with them on how to kind of share some of the costs with consumables." Regarding the roof prop, Garbutt explained its necessity: " The roof prop is a high-risk proposition as far as things that we do. But it is very necessary because one, it alleviates the heat and smoke and helps us search better, helps us put out the fire faster, helps us get the victims and makes it more survivable space." Director Blair- Finn asked about the VO2 max system and whether other cities use it. Garbutt confirmed that Springdale had started using a similar system and explained: " This Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 13 December 16, 2025 has become such a focus for NFPA for our standards that we are, we are told we need to follow and what we will be judged by in any kind of court situation or anything else, are we following these standards?" Director Allen expressed opposition to the timing: " I have no problem with our city, these pieces of equipment. What I have a problem with is amending the budget in the 1 lth hour, the last meeting of the year when we're actually reviewing the budget for 2026." He stated: There's nothing wrong with coming in under budget. I have no problem with expending this in next year's budget, but these were not things that were even on the 2026 budget before when we first got it." Motion by Director Allen to move this amount of money and the expenditures to the 2026 budget. No second. Motion died for lack of a second. Motion by Director Burns to approve the budget amendment. Second by Director Carroll. Motion passed 5- 1. Item L: Contract/ Public Works Department/ Wastewater Services/ Trekk Design Group/ Sanitary Sewer Collection System Improvements/$ 209, 962. Danny Farine briefed the item stating " the proposal is for getting some engineering performed for about 10, 000 feet of sewer line upgrades. We've had a study done in the past that shows over a hundred thousand feet of line that needs to be replaced or upgraded." Director Bums asked for clarification on the footage, and Farine confirmed it was about 10, 000 feet. Motion by Director Allen to approve the contract. Second by Director Burns. The motion was approved unanimously. Item M: Contract/ Public Works Department/ Water Services/ Freese& Nichols/ Water System Hydraulic Model/$ 250, 000. Danny Farine briefed the item stating, " This will allow us to be able to determine with the growth that' s happening in the city, the, you know, what' s going on with the water lines and the water system." He noted: " We' re getting up there on the capacity for our existing tanks and towers, and this will show us in the next five years or so where a, new tank needs to be built." Director Burns inquired about how deficiencies would be determined. Farine explained: " They' ll actually, once they run the, the model in the system, we' ll go out and check hydrants, make sure they' re meeting what the model says." Burns asked about hydrant replacement recommendations, particularly in older parts of town. Farine confirmed: " This will go for our ISO rating, and we' ll identify, you know, low flow areas and they' ll get, you know, additional line size for additional flows at hydrants." Motion by Director Carroll to approve the contract. Second by Director Burns. The motion passed unanimously. Item N: Budget Amendment/ Police/ Employee Bonus/ 2025 STFE Reserve Funds/$ 282, 000. Chief Scott Miller briefed the item. Miller detailed the salary disparities: " Our surrounding nearby departments salary and s ranging from anywhere from eight to 47% difference compared to our starting salary here in Siloam Springs." Director Blair- Finn expressed concerns: " I have heard from other employees who are not happy that, that the police would get this." She noted that police had received 10- 12% raises the previous year and questioned the turnover rate: " I received that there were four uniform officers. One was at the beginning of the year before the Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 14 December 16, 2025 pay increased one the job just wasn't for them. One went to Farmington." She also questioned including command staff: " I know this also includes, this request includes command staff who seem to make a really good living." Chief Miller responded: " This is a strategic move to prevent that loss. We've worked really hard creating this culture within our department." He detailed competitive pressures: " Fayetteville starts off at 61, 000 in change. And if you' re a certified officer, you can get a$ 10, 000 signing bonus and depending on your years of service, a five- year guy will get a$ 10, 000 signing bonus. And his starting pay at Fayetteville Police Department with his current training is $ 88, 000 a year." Director Blair- Finn asked: " What do I say to the other employees who don' t get paid well, who are, who aren' t getting these, these bonuses?" Miller responded: " I don' t have that answer for you, but I would be on their bandwagon just the same because I do talk to the other department heads and stuff and everybody is going to be facing this issue in the next few years." Director Hunt expressed appreciation for the proactive approach but shared concerns about perception from other staff. She asked: " Is there any wiggle room? I mean is there, is there any negotiating the amount?" Miller explained his reasoning: " I just felt like this was the amount that put them at that 50, 000- range going into next year that would compensate them until we can figure out a long-term solution." Director Carroll supported the measure: " I do know, I'm aware that this is at the end of the year, but I also know that just from the numbers, if we lose three officers, it's gonna be about the same dollar as you're requesting to get them back." Director Wiles asked about service impacts: " Say we did lose three officers and to me safety is number one. What would that do to your service level?" Miller responded: " We would have to reallocate the current resources, whether it be shutting down the traffic unit or the street crimes unit to backfill and supplement the patrol division." Director Burns expressed support while criticizing communication issues: " I am as a board member, disappointed in the communication with staff not getting things updated towards the end of the year." He emphasized: " I have to support fire police. But I know in 2026 that I feel positive we'll get things back on the table." City Clerk Jene Fain apologized for the confusion in the agenda packet: " I am sincerely sorry for the mistake that I made. I did a disservice to each of you board members and I apologize, Chief Miller. It was not intentional, and I am sincerely sorry." Director Allen expressed extensive concerns about the timing, the amount, and the process. Public comments were made from Larry Kenamore, who strongly supported the bonus: " You have no concept of what they do. And you' re, you have all this discussion. It's been going on for what an hour on giving them a bonus at the end of the year for the job that they do." He emphasized the dangers of fentanyl trafficking and urged the board to approve the bonus. Rebecca Wyatt( 1109 East Jill Street) also spoke in support, sharing her experience as a police officer's wife: " Every year, every place we ever lived, the overtime budget usually ran out within the first few months. So, we donated hundreds, thousands of our hours of our time." She urged the board to consider what it would be like if we have this rollover where we just don' t have enough workers that are willing to stay here." Motion by Director Allen to approve the budget amendment for$ 282, 000. Second by Director Burns. The motion passed unanimously. After the vote, Director Allen stated: " I will say that I believe Brad was on point to say that this is a, well you didn' t say Band- Aid, but it is, we at the first of the year, we need to workshop it or something." He emphasized the need to address starting pay issues. Director Hunt added: " I hope the citizens appreciate that we do have to ask the hard questions. Sometimes it does take a while to ask the Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 15 December 16, 2025 hard questions, but that's, that's our job." Director Blair- Finn clarified her position: " It's not a matter of not supporting them. And I agree with Mindy, we have to ask, and it was a mistake, and I don' t hold her responsible. We were given incorrect information and that adds to it." Item 0: Ordinance 25- 36/ 2" d Reading/ Extension of Existing Levy of 0. 375 Percent Sales and Use Tax( 3/ 8ths). Christina Petriches briefed the item. She stated," Last evening we read the second reading, and this is being presented unchanged with 50% for utility capital improvements, 30% for street capital improvements, and 20% for quality- of-life capital improvements." Director Allen commented: " I think that's fair. And I have to lay it at the feet of Mr. Carroll. He's Director Carroll. He' s the one that came up with that breakout." He noted that this would go to public vote. After some procedural confusion about the proper motions needed, the board proceeded with the ordinance.

Christina Petriches briefed the item.

Maegan Thomas from Bowen Kemp Construction, representing the applicant, explained: " I looked at their landscape plan, they' re planning on submitting that tomorrow. They asked me to take a look at it, and I found that they were gonna be short on some of the parking after having to meet some of those landscape requirements."

It does nothing to help operate the city." However, he acknowledged: " Since Mindy made a good point that it. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 19 December 16, 2025 sounds like we've already committed thanks to last year's budget, I don't think we have much choice but to leave it." Motion by Director Burns to approve Resolution 47- 25 for the 2026 budget. Second by Director Carroll. Motion passed unanimously. Administrator' s Report— Administrator' s Report is attached. Directors Reports— Before director reports, Mayor Nation opened the floor for open discussion among directors regarding concerns they wanted to address. Director Burns began: " I' m on my first year coming back on the board and I remain hopeful and optimistic." He discussed the challenges of representing an at- large position versus a ward, noting changes since he left the board: " Since 22 and present, you know, we' re going on a third city administrator and so there' s a lot of instability within the city." He emphasized support for the recruitment process: " I' m on board with the head- hunting group. We' re a city administrator form of government. That's what we' re doing. That's what we're proceeding forward with." Bums expressed concerns about communication: " I don' t like the scuttlebutt. There' s a lot of it. I' m a big believer in the chain of command." He praised Christina Petriches for her patience during transitions and emphasized the need for better communication flow in 2026. Director Blair- Finn raised serious concerns about board members crossing boundaries: " I know of somebody who' s sat in on personnel meetings, which they lose immunity when staff sees a director sit in on a personnel meeting and, and it' s the same director that' s done it multiple times." She detailed specific problems: Directors making private requests to staff. Staff being too intimidated to do their jobs. Directors getting involved in personnel issues. The need for procedures to report when board members cross lines. Blair-Finn revealed: " I went to that department head and said, you know what I want? And they said, yes, yes, and they will get it together. Then on 12/ 9, I went to the city administrator because they were supposed to give that information to the city administrator and they said they were scared, they were too scared to give it to the city administrator." She listed unacceptable behaviors: Private directives or requests to staff Pressuring staff or city administrator without board approval Misleading public statements Conduct resulting in staff fear or silence. Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 110 December 16, 2025 Repeated disregard for chain of command Blair- Finn proposed creating formal procedures: " We need to do what we can to, to stop these things. And even, like I said, staff and, and they don' t, staff need to be able to report when, when directors are, are crossing lines." Director Hunt agreed: " I try not to get too involved in the day- to-day, because that is what we hire our city administrator to do." She reflected on the instability of having" three administrators currently an interim in three years" and how that affects recruitment. She emphasized: " I think our job is to work with the city administrators and I, whatever that means, to hold ourselves accountable if we need to have a process or procedure." Director Wiles added: " We' ve been pretty dysfunctional for a while. And the only way we' re gonna make the progress I think we individually want to make is to work as a group." He suggested: " Maybe we resolve to, to put differences aside, whatever they might be. And because as was pointed out earlier, we're here for the good of this city." Director Carroll expressed optimism: " I do like what I'm, I' m seeing here these last probably three or four months." He noted a shift from confrontation to collaboration: " It' s a comment made. And if we don't agree, we' re like, well, how can we work together on this?" He acknowledged his regular meetings with the city administrator and emphasized the need to avoid dictating to staff while getting to know them. Director Allen provided extensive commentary on governance issues: The importance of board rules and following them. The inability of individual board members to discipline employees. The impropriety of board members sitting in HR meetings with employees. The need to prevent employee fear of board members. The importance of the employee manual having precedence. He emphasized: " We cannot be eight uncohesive individuals." He warned against becoming too close with administrators or department heads: " You cannot be friends or socialize, I should say, close friends with the administrator or department heads. Otherwise, when there are potential problems down the road, we tend to gloss over those problems, and we refuse to address them." Allen stressed: " There are no perks. There are no perks at all to being an elected person of this board. We do not get to have special treatment period." He concluded with an example of his own mistake years prior when he wrongly confronted officers about explosive training, acknowledging: " Sometimes we get caught up in the, in our, in the heat of the moment in the temper. And if employees are doing their job, nobody should be mad at them." Director Blair-Finn distributed a draft process for addressing director conduct issues, explaining it would need to be refined and incorporated into board rules. She emphasized: " Every single Board of Directors Meeting Minutes Page 111 December 16, 2025 thing has gotta go through the city administrator because there are very specific state laws on what we can meet about in executive session." Mayor Nation thanked the board for the open discussion and emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency in addressing uncomfortable topics in public sessions. Hunt- Addressed utility billing issues and the need for easier automatic bank draft setup. Thanked Kale Properties for sponsoring the Holly Jolly Christmas Decorating contest.
