9. Approve Resolution setting public hearing regarding the placement and

amount of liens to be placed on certain properties for mowing andremediating unsanitary and unsightly conditions. This process ismandated by State law. The City has been forced to take action toremediate weeds and tall grass and other unsightly conditions at thesubject properties. Code Enforcement advised the property owners of the

violation and requested that they take action prior to the City stepping into take action. Property owners have also been advised of the costs andthat a lien would be placed on the properties if the costs were not paid. Allproperty owners have been invoiced and failed to pay as of the date thisitem is submitted.

10. Approve Ordinance adding the Parks and Recreation Director to the TrafficSafety and Signage Committee. Many events that come to the Committeefor approval and planned street closures involve coordination with Parksand Recreation staff, due to the corresponding use of an impact to Parksfacilities. For example, many events also utilize the Square or MemorialPark. To fully address potential traffic and safety issues and facilitate

orderly scheduling, City staff is asking Council to formally approve theParks and Recreation Director as a member of this committee. The Chiefof Police, Assistant Fire Chief and Transportation Engineer all support thisaddition.

11. Adopt Resolution certifying the rate of taxation levied on real and personalproperty in the City of Bentonville. This Resolution is required to by theQuorum Court and County Clerk in order to facilitate the millage levy tobe collected in 2012. This year, the City is proposing to adopt only thestandard taxes and omit the voluntary taxes. In our experience, theconcept of a voluntary tax statement is somewhat misleading to citizens,creating unnecessary confusion and ill-will. Voluntary tax is not a

significant or reliable source of revenue (see attached spreadsheet fromthe Finance Department), and citizens who wish to donate to a particulardepartment or facility will still have an opportunity to do so. Finance andthe departments that receive the voluntary funds support this proposal.
