Kennedale City Council
Special Meeting - February 2, 1989
Fire Station
Mayor Steve Radakovich called the meeting to order at 7:45 p.m.
Members present were Steve Radakovich, Pete Kirkpatrick, Jerry Mitchell and
John Mallory. Bill Abbott and Mark Wright were absent.
ITEM NO. 1. - Approval of Community Development Block Grant Projects
for the 15th year (1989).
Ted Rowe reviewed the questionnaires passed out at the January 12, 1989
meeting and supplied the following results in priority order:
(1) Streets 27 points
(2) Water 20 points
(3) Sewer 18 points
Mr. Rowe reported that the T.V. evaluation of the sewer to find where there is
any filteration has to be applied for under separate funding criteria, which
means the City would receive less grant funds. Shady Oaks Drive is the highest
priority of the streets that need repair and upgrading in the target area;
followed by Harrison Drive and Rolanda Lane.
Shady Oaks Drive is 650 feet in length. The preliminary figures indicated that
the cost is $75 to $80 per running foot for a 30 foot wide street with curb and
gutter. Using $80 per running foot at 650' would equal $52,000.
The second proposal was to replace 2" water mains within the target area. It
was estimated that 35 services need changed at $300 each equals $10,500. The
proposed 2" line changes are located on North Road, from 205 East to 733 East
Mansfield Highway and Third Street. Paula Lane and Timberline Drive are in the
target area, but the houses look to nice to qualify for the grant program.
The estimated amount of grant money available is between $63,000 and $90,000.
The total cost of street and water line improvements are $62,500 plus engineering
cost of approximately $7,000.
Motion was made by Pete Kirkpatrick, seconded by Jerry Mitchell, to approve the
above discussed street and water line projects for the CDBG program. Motion
carried unanimously.
ITEM NO. 2. - Discussion of Bingo within the city limits.
Council was informed that a petition on allowing Bingo was being circulated
within the city and the Council may place a proposition on the ballot on its
own motion. Council briefly discussed the pros and cons on Bingo and feels they
need more information on the subject.

Special Meeting - February 2, 1989, Cont.
Fire Chief Smith announced that charitable organizations sponsoring Bingo could
receive 35% of the profits.
Richard Massey, Pastor of the Church of Christ expressed opposition on Bingo
and wanted to know if a petition could be circulated prohibiting Bingo and if
a person residing outside the city could circulate a petition within the city.
Action was not taken on the Bingo issue.
DISCUSSION
Ted Rowe informed Council that the Police facility is ready to go out for bids.
Financing the facility has been reviewed with various municipal financial advisors
and the latest information indicates that it would probably be less for the City
to pay cash out of the reserves rather than long term financing.
Chief Geeslin submitted plans and bid specs for Council to review.

Ted Rowe presented the Master Land Use and Thoroughfare Plan for Council's
review and said it would be on next weeks agenda.
Mr. Doug Cunningham of Collins Ambulance Sales brought an ambulance for Council
to view for possible purchase. Mr. Cunningham explained that the ambulance
meets all federal specifications and the present ambulance does not.
There being no further business, motion was made by Pete Kirkpatrick, seconded
by Jerry Mitchell, to adjourn the meeting at 8:55 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
