Our first person on the list is Matthew Sanders of Seven Nant Twitch Circle. Good evening, council members. Mr. Mayor, I'm going to start off tonight by reading a verse from the Bible. We're going to go to Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6. For to us a child is born. To us a child is given and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father, prince of peace. Make no mistake, he is the reason for the season. And I'd like to invite anyone who's listening today and at home uh to come worship and celebrate the birth of Christ at Graceoint Christian Church in Bentonville. We're going to have two services on Christmas Eve. The first service being at 1:30 p.m. and the second service at 3 p.m. All are welcome and come as you are. With that, I have lots of thanks to say. We're at the end of the year. Um, I work with a lot of different nonprofits and a lot of them need recognition. So, here we go. Trails. Uh, we have the Bella Vista Trail Gnomes. They are a bunch of volunteers who work effortlessly to maintain our trails in Bella Vista over 110 miles. They use their own time, money, and resources to do such. There are so many to thank. I can't thank them all individually, but thank you for all of those trail advocates. Our Bella

Vista courtesy van. Um, we had our end of year celebration this weekend. Um, and we had one of the mothers or excuse me, one of the daughters of the ladies that we drive give an amazing testimony about how we were able to increase her independence. So, Bella Vista Courtesy Van offers, we've been around for over 30 years, fully nonprofit, and we help our seniors and vulnerable community to get to their uh, doctor's appointments. the Bella Vista Litter Patrol. Uh, lots of my neighbors are part of this. We walk around on a daily basis. We usually carry a plastic bag from Walmart and we just pick up all the construction debris and all the trash that's on the streets. Um, and so shout out to whoever put the amazing new art piece at the end of 71 and 49 that says natural. Uh, CVMA, the Combat Vets Motorcycle Association, has a motto that says, "Vets helping vets." Um, this summer we were maintaining multiple um disabled vets who can't maintain their own yards. My lawn mower broke. And shout out to Ryan at Lowe's of Bentonville because he stood up and was able to get us a new lawn mower. The Patriot Guard Riders is a nonprofit that we go and stand up for all of our veterans who are being laid to rest and first responders. And our motto is standing for those who stood for us. Nika, we don't need any introduction to them. They're amazing and I can't wait for next year because I get to actually do it with my son. Sheep Dog Impact uh assistance, the dirt therapy project. Um and near and dear last but not least is Cooper Elementary. Our teachers, faculty, staff, and bus drivers are amazing. Thank you city for also giving us a resource officer so that our parents and children can uh know that they're safe. So, Bella Vista, the last thing I want to say is Bella Vista is a wonderful place to live, play, and experience life.

Thank you. Uh, the next speaker is Natalie Tibs of Two Corner Lane and Rogers.

Yes. Good evening, city council members and Mayor Flynn. I look forward to having you for a tour soon and hope that other members might be able to attend. Um, thankful for another opportunity to share a little bit more about the Children and Family Advocacy Center. So, recently a 17-year-old girl from Bella Vista was sexually abused by her own biological father. She was scared, confused, and hurt. Someone she trusted betrayed her trust. Someone who should have protected her. This teenager was referred to the Children and Family Advocacy Center by one of our lo local investigative agencies. Instead of facing a maze of agencies and having to retell her trauma over and over again, she was met with a single safe place where law enforcement, child protective services, prosecuting attorneys, advocates, interviewers, medical professionals, and counselors work together at one location. She received a trauma-informed response that protected her dignity and began her healing. This response prioritized her well-being while ensuring the evidence was preserved for a complete and professional investigation. All of this possible because this community has a child advocacy center. And as you know, our center is facing significant challenges to our services with unexpected federal grant cuts that have reduced our funding by $600,000 for next year and beyond. This didn't create an immediate crisis because we've been physic fiscally responsible through the years. But it does mean we must act now in order to protect the future services that safeguard our children. Rather than relying on the uncertainty of federal funding, we're looking to our own community for solutions. And we believe that Bella Vista can help lead that way. This year alone, we will serve over 900 children and 1,800 of their family members beyond. And that's just through our acute response to child abuse. Beyond that, we will reach over 18,000

people just here in our own community through education and prevention efforts. This includes professionals such as teachers, law enforcement officers, and other community members directly involved with our children. These numbers aren't just statistics. They represent lives changed, futures protected, and cycles of abuse broken. If alternative funding isn't identified, we will be forced to greatly reduce or even cut critical services. That's not a future any of us should want. Our hope is that Bella Vista will join the Bitten County Quorum Court in pioneering a new way for communities to partner in the protection and healing of children. Discussions are underway in several neighboring cities. However, securing initial commitments is essential to spark that ripple effect. Together, we can ensure that every child who needs help finds it right here close to home. Approving this support isn't just a vote. It's a statement that Bella Vista stands for its children. Thank you.

Thank you. It's now time for council reply if anyone would like to comment. Uh Wendy, Maddie, just thank you for coming and reminding us why we're all here. Um, and when days are dark, it's so nice to hear about all the good and all the light that we can have in this community and it just makes it way more important. Thank you, Anna.

I just want to echo that. Thank you. Um, you named one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight of our amazing nonprofits here in Bella Vista. Um, and that's just one or eight of many. and we just have a really great community and thanks for being part of it.

Okay. Uh the next item on the agenda is the financial report. We have the report for the 9 months through October 31, 2025. And uh on the revenue side, operating revenue is up 11% over last year. County uh sales tax was up 3.2%. City sales tax was up 13%. I might mention the property tax now that we're through October. I think it might be a more reliable number. The property tax revenue is up 19% over the prior year at this point. On the uh operating expense side, uh we're 952,000 below budget. So, uh, the revenue is 1.9 million over budget. The expense is 952,000 under. So, we're actually $2.9 million ahead of budget through 10 months. So, that's a good feeling. And since it was uh subject to some discussion the other day on the uh on the balance sheet side, the unassigned fund balance as of the end of October is 11.4 million. So it seems like a pretty solid report at this point of the year. We usually do come back to uh Earth a little bit in December because of the uh paying all the holiday pay for all the fire and police, but uh being that far ahead on the budget at this point uh seems pretty like a pretty good situation. Uh next item, I'd like to entertain a motion to suspend the rules of order and

procedure to allow all ordinances on the agenda to be read by title only. So move second. That was Mr. Wilms and Mr. Harp. A roll call vote. Council members Newport. Yes. Wilms. Yes. Isbel. Yes. Hansaw. Yes. And Harp. Yes. And Hughes. Yes.

A motion carried. Thank you for that. I also have a second motion to suspend the rules and to have item P uh take place right after uh item or right uh before item G, right after item F. And uh Cheryl Schulerman is here from Little Rock and uh uh we'd like to give her an opportunity to speak a little earlier on. So, is there a motion to approve that? Motion to approve. Second.

That was uh Anna and Larry Wilms. Uh roll call vote on the motion to suspend the rules. Council members Newport, yes. Wilms, yes. Isel, yes. Honchel, yes. Hurt, yes. And Hughes, yes. Thank you for that. First item on the agenda is the consent agenda. Is there a motion to approve that? So move. Second. That was Mr. Wilms and Travis Harp. A roll call vote. Council members Newport. Yes. Wilms. Yes. Isbel. Yes. Honel. Yes. Harp.

Yes. Hughes. Yes. Motion carried six to zero. So, the next item we'll go to is item P, which was authorizing the mayor and city clerk to enter into contracts with u Stevens Inc. and Cruz and Associates for bond underwriting services for the city related to the 2026 sales tax bond issue. And I'd like to call Cheryl Schlutderman up to uh just speak briefly on the topic.

Yes. Good evening, Mayor and Council. Thank you for moving it up. I I did not request that, but the mayor was kind enough to offer and I accepted. So, thank you for that. Um so, just to give you uh a reminder of what we did a while back this summer, we passed an election ordinance. Um, in November, the citizens voted on the sales tax bond initiative to both extend the tax and um issue refund two of the outstanding bond issues um which basically means refinancing and issue new money. Um so tonight is the next step which is to hire underwriters. So, I am your municipal adviser, Raymond James. And what we do is we help we meet several times a year, uh gosh, probably probably a dozen times a year with the mayor and Kim to go over the financials um and review what is coming up and what is needed um for the city for various projects. and we work with bond counsel and we basically help structure um how you're going to do that, what you can afford, um the best way to go about um financing the projects and then we help you as one of the items as part of our agreement is we act we help you RFP for various services related to the bond issue and hire the underwriters um and we will do the same for trustee for the bond issue as well. So, tonight the resolution um that the attorney put together is to hire the underwriters. We sent out an RFP that was in the paper on November 30th and today at 10:00 a.m. um those were due to us and to Kim. And if you recall back uh well, let me back up a second. So what an underwriter does is

they actually will market uh the bonds and sell the bonds for you. They have an element of risk because if they don't sell um we would ask them to underwrite those and take them inhouse um and so that's that's their job. I help them navigate that, help them um come up with what the pricing structure will be um and and basically, you know, hold them accountable uh as part of my job. And so Cruz and Associates and Stevens, Inc. both submitted a joint proposal and they did that back in uh when we issued the bonds for series 2020, those sales tax bonds. Um and so they were hired by the council at that time to issue those bonds and both of their desks worked together to accomplish that. So um the recommendation is to hire them again. Um they submitted a proposal um the fees being similar to what they had submitted before. Um, and to give you an idea of what we are suggesting based on the needs of the city at this time is to issue pretty much all of the debt approximately or authorization approximately $25.5 million of that which part of that is the refunding piece and then the other part is the new money except for um approximately $5.4 million. That portion will be issued in two to three years. The reason being is that the pumper fire truck takes almost three years um to be delivered. So there is a requirement that if you issue tax exempt bonds, you're supposed to spend that money within three years. So clearly we would have a little bit of an issue doing that. So we are going to and then the fire station, that's the other part, the new fire station. Um that will take some time to spend that money

considering the other projects that are going on at this time. So, we would bring that back to you in two to three years um to do a new bond issue for that piece. So, tonight you're hiring the underwriters. We will come back to you again unless the mayor wants us to come prior to this sometime in February. Um and we're going to get a calendar. I'm going to discuss with the underwriters and bond council and finalize the calendar. But around midFebruary, we will sell the bonds and then come to you that evening to basically approve what we've sold that day. Um and so the mayor will be involved in all that. We'll keep him apprised. We'll keep you apprised of what the interest rates are. They're pretty favorable right now. So, um hopefully u by the time we do issue bonds um they'll be favorable then as well. So, but that's the tenative plan. It I'm happy to take any questions. Okay, I guess we're all set. If someone wants to make a motion about the underwriters,

so move. Second. That was Mr. Wilms and Mr. Hart. A roll call vote. Motion was to approve the resolution. Yes. Council members Newport. Yes. Wilms. Yes. Is yes. Honel. Yes. Hart. Yes. And Hughes? Yes.

Motion carried six six to zero. Thank you for that. Next uh matter is unfinished business. Ordinance amending the bill of visa to zoning ordinance and map to reszone property described in reszoning petition number 2025-59940 county parcel number 16-43269-0000 from re residential estate district to C1 neighborhood commercial. This is the third and final reading and uh I don't know what the council's temperature is, but it's a good idea to have a even if you think you're going to be against it to have a motion and second and then go ahead and vote.

Motion to approve. Second. That was Wendy Hughes and Anna Isbel. Uh, roll call vote. Council members Newport, no. Wilms, no. Isel, no. Honel, no. Hart, no. And Hughes, no.

Uh, motion failed 0 to six. Uh, next one is a resolution establishing salaries for mayor, city council members, and city clerk to begin January 1, 2026. This was tabled from November to December. Is there any discussion or a motion? In in the mo in the packet there is a substitute resolution um that there will need to be a motion to amend to

proceed with that version if that's the desire. So a member would need to move to amend and a second and a vote and then a final vote on the final proposal. Okay, Travis, is this uh the one I have still says Flynn's amendment. Is that the one you're talking about? One moment. I don't think any other There's There was It was a substitute and I'm trying to pull it up in our in our notes on the Yes, it says Flynn amendment to resolution and it it looks like its own resolution. That is the amendment. Yes. So, we don't have the resolution Council Member Hughes submitted or is this

We have She can offer an amendment and I've got paper copies of amendments. I think it was the same thing. It was the same thing. I think it's replaced my amendment with his. Well, well, keep in mind nothing has been amended until someone moves to amend it and there's a second. So, but what you have in the proposal is the mayor's requested amendment, I guess you would say, but it I it's so it's what Wendy brought up. Correct. Correct. Yeah, it was my suggestion and um the amendment I had did not remove from the table, but yes. Okay. So, the amendment does what? Attorney Kelly.

It will it increases the mayor's salary by 3% and the city uh council members by 3% and the uh clerk by 7%. Okay. Yeah. What I understood. Is that what you thought? Yep. Okay. My confusion is just why did we replace Council Member Hughes amendment with this one? That there's been nothing replaced because nothing's been amended yet. So, she can move to amend anything she wants at this point. Never withdrew my amendment when we had the last council meeting. So, that's okay. That's fine. I have a motion to approve.

Second. That's that will be out of order because there needs to be a motion to amend the proposal to read as presented. Yeah. In in the packet. Motion to amend to per per the per what's in the packet per the packet which is which is the document entitled Flynn amendment which actually is also what which is also desiring to do. Yeah. Second. So that was Mr. Williams and Anna Isbel. Uh, roll call vote. Council members Newport, yes. Wilms, yes. Isbel, yes. Honchel, yes. Hart,

no. Hughes, yes. So motion carried 5 to one. That was the motion to amend. So now we need a vote to approve it. Yes. Okay. Is there a motion? Move to approve. Second was Mr. Wilms and Anna Isbel. Uh roll call vote. Council members Isbel. I'm sorry. Newport. Yes. Wilms. Yes. Isbel. Yes. Honel. Yes. Harp. No. Hughes. No.

Motion carried four to two. Okay. Uh, next matter is new business resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to enter into a contract with BLP and equipment share company pursuant to a source well cooperative purchasing agreement for the purchase of one new case backhoe in the amount of $128,350 for use by the street department. Is there any discuss Larry Wilms in looking at the price? It doesn't look like the price has gone up in the last three years. Is that true?

Uh Karen, maybe you can address that. Push the button. Oh, sorry. We're doing a trade in on this one. So the prices So it's a little adjustment. Yes, we're replacing a 2012 that we currently have on fleet. We're using that as a tradein towards this one to reduce that bottom line cost. So this is the net cost after the trade in. This is the cost after the tradeins. Yeah. Accounted for motion to approve.

Sorry. Second. That was Wendy Hughes and Larry Wilms. A motion to approve. Uh, roll call vote. Council members Newport, yes. Wilms, yes. Isbell, yes. Honel, yes. Harp, yes. And Hughes, yes.

Motion carried six to zero. Uh, next one's a resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to enter into a contract with Sitans Martin via the HGAC cooperative purchasing program in the total amount of 1,243,431 for the purchase of one Pierce Custom Saber FR pumper truck for use by the fire department. And this was one of the items that was going to be covered by the new bond. Motion to approve. Second. It was Travis Harp and Wendy Hughes. Uh motion to approve. Uh roll call vote. Council members Newport.

Yes. Wilms. Yes. Isbel. Yes. Hansaw. Yes. Harp. Yes. Hughes. Yes. Motion carried six to zero. Thank you for that. Next one is a resolution amending the 2025 city budget in the amount of 230,000 regarding fire station number one capital budget. This I was going to say this is something we discussed at the work session that the uh construction costs had had construction had moved along and basically for the year was 230,000 more than uh the fire chief guessed it was going to be. early in the year. So,

motion to approve. Second. That was Wendy Hughes and Travis Harp. Uh, roll call vote on the motion to approve. Council members Newport, yes. Wilms, yes. Isel, yes. Honcho, yes. Ha, yes. And Hugs, yes. Motion carried six to zero. Next one is a resolution amending the 2025 city budget to appropriate eligible fire impact fees to reimburse costs associated with capacity expansion of fire station number one in an amount of $1,48,000. Move to approve.

Second. That was Larry Wilms and Wendy Hughes. Travis, uh, I would I would like some explanation about this. Uh just to reiterate what we talked about in the work session just really quickly if we could please.

Okay. Um this was uh expenses we had that were not covered by the uh earlier bond, the revenue bond. And uh it was possible to uh use impact fees even though the expenses are historical. And so as a matter of uh to enhance our cash flow as we're waiting for the bond, the closing uh Cheryl didn't get completely into the timeline, but the closing looks like it's going to be more like late March. So this was uh cut when Kim Hall realized that we could recoup these funds from the impact fees. Uh she thought it might be prudent to do that for cash flow reasons. So that was the idea of it. Larry,

I'm assuming I'm assuming that the expenditure occurred in this current fiscal year. No. No. Prior fiscal year. Yes. And that's okay. Yes. That we can approve it retroactively. Yes. Anyone else? Okay. We had a motion and a second, so I think we can proceed to roll call vote to approve. Council members Newport, yes. Wilms, yes. Isel, yes. Honcho, yes. Harp, yes. And Hughes, yes.

Motion carried six to zero. The next one is a resolution adopting a city budget for the city of Bella Vista for the calendar year 2026 appropriating money for each item of expenditure and for other purposes. And Kim Hall created a final version of the budget, which is pretty much what we had before. And uh I don't know if there's any more discussion. You want to go ahead to a vote? Motion to approve. Second. That was Shane Newport and Travis Hart for motion to approve the city budget. Uh roll call vote. Council members Newport.

Yes. Wilms, yes. Isbel, yes. Honchel, yes. Harp, yes. And Hughes,

yes. Motion carried six to zero. Thank you for that. Next one's a resolution requesting city staff explore options regarding city assistance to the children and families advocacy center including requesting financial statements or any other research from the organization to assist the council in decision making regarding the matter. Uh before we discuss I think we sent some uh documents that we had to different folks and I had spoken to Natalie Tibs and you might have noticed in that one cover letter I'm going to go over there and meet with them at 2 p.m. Wednesday and she does welcome any council members who who could make it. Uh so if somebody is inclined to come uh you can let us know. feel free to come or or maybe you can you know speak to her some other time or make other I realize a lot of you are working at that time. So but anyway that's the status of it and she was very open about sending financial statements which I thought were helpful and uh so that's where we stand at this time. Larry,

question for the attorney. Uh, attorney Kelly, is it is it possible that uh a public entity like a city can expend money uh for a nonprofit such as this? Is that a legal expense under Arkansas law? Um, there are constitutional prohibi prohibitions on city and governments and county governments from basically donating to private charities.

Okay. So that prompts the question, well the countyy's done something. What what's going on? So what you can do is you can contract for services for the citizens. And so um just having having been a prosecutor years ago and and knowing about what CAC has done in the law enforcement aspect in terms of their assistance and investigation of child abuse and um those sorts of cases, horrible cases. Um they they have worked very closely with the Benton County Prosecutor's Office. I think they've actually had on-site prosecutors at at one point in time. I don't know if they still do that. Uh, but there's been a an association between the county and the CAC for a number of years. I assume they have some sort of agreement in place if it's nothing else than for the office space and and things like that. So, that would more than cover their ability to u handle funding as as a as a part of the consideration of that contract. We have no such contract at city of Bel Vista. In fact, I don't think any other city uh does. And so, um if there's any desire to to work with the CAC, then uh what what you're going to have to do is there's going to have to be a contract with that entity to provide some sort of deliverable service to citizens of Bella Vista in exchange for some sort of funding. And and so that would need to be in place. And then whatever money was negotiated or was found to be appropriate by the council would be consideration for those services in a contract for a defined period of time and that would clear the legal hurdles. So can can you just cut a check to them? No. Is there a way to get funding to them through a process and through through appropriate relationships to cover the legal boundaries? Yes, there is.

Thank you. Uh uh Shay could too. And just as a reminder for everyone in the room, um who has the power to enter into contracts on behalf of the city? Well, the mayor does, but with depending on the amount of money with this, the approval of the council. Uh Travis,

yeah, I asked staff to send um some information to the council. I don't know if it got out. There may have been a problem with the email, but uh we do provide financial services to several nonprofits because of the agreements. Other cities do it to their chamber of commerce without a contract, I believe. Um but there there's a way to make this happen. We pay $90,000 to nonprofit for trail maintenance. They're only asking for $30,000 to take care of children that have been impacted by crimes. Uh since our last meeting, I talked to four different legal professionals. Two of them were prosecuting attorneys and two of them were attorney adlight items and they spoke on behalf of this is not just a critical resource for the children to get on the path of healing. It's also a critical resource to get convictions for the people that committed these crimes against children. Um so I support this wholeheartedly from the beginning now until the end.

Wendy

and just a couple things for clarification. I believe with the trails contract, it's a partnership with the POA for up to $90,000 um for the services. So, we're not just giving the POA $90,000. It's and we've not hit that threshold or even the 70 I think it was beforehand if I the previous threshold of 70,000. I don't think we were quite there yet either of that annually. So, there is that. It is it is different. I did briefly talk to Chief Graves. The city does use these services um to help with their cases, but also did not retraumatize the children who are impacted. I did ask, hey, would you be open if the council did approve or looked into further if the money came out of your budget line items? Um since it's a resource that the those officers use more than just the city as a whole. And he was I want to speak for you, sir. um seemed agreeable to that being an option as well if that's something we decide to do in the future going forward.

Travis, yeah, just um just to the trail maintenance argument that you made. This is not just giving them money. The in 2024 they handled 31 cases in Bella Vista and multiple of those cases or several of those cases if not the majority of them had multiple victims. So they provided services for upwards of 50 children here in Bella Vista. So we're not just handing them money. They're providing a service already. Wendy,

correct? And I'm saying we don't write a blanket check of $90,000 to the POA. It is a as needed buildout service that they pay for half, we pay our half. And so it's a maximum of $90,000. So, we don't just write a check as we might not write a check but have a contract for up to $30,000 with them in the future. Is it is slightly different? Just semantics. Thanks, Travis. It is slightly different because it's more important. Okay. Uh Anna.

Okay. So, speaking of more important, um so Maddie came up here and talked about a lot of different nonprofits. How do we ensure that we aren't providing I guess what I would call favoritism because there's a lot of federal and state cuts that have been made to a lot of really vital programs. And so as I would love for the funding to come through to be able to support this because this is a very important nonprofit. There are also many other very important nonprofits. So the question is how do we remain fair or neutral to nonprofits or or do we cut a contract with every nonprofit in the city of Bella Vista? And then number two, if it's a one year for 2026, what happens in 2027 and 2028 and 2029? Mayor Travis,

I guess my only answer to that is you could ask the citizens that pick up trash or you could ask a family member that's been impacted by child abuse. Which one's more important to them? Wendy,

I mean to that end also the individuals who utilize the courtesy van to get to their important medical appointments and get around that's also very important. So yes, no one is discounting that the work that CFAC does is incredibly important. Um I know I personally have children my my my children's friends have had to use these services. It is incredibly important but so are the other organizations in our community. They also provide important services and I know people who might be on dialysis or chemo or have other vital appointment you know appointments the cursy van is their lifeline that's also very important. So just keeping that in mind.

Uh Travis. Yeah I thank to you Mr. Sanders for coming and pointing out all of those nonprofits. I am an advocate for all nonprofits, but they're not all created equal. And I'm not aware of any of those nonprofits having funding issues right now because we haven't been approached by them. But I understand the argument and I understand your point of view that where do we draw the line? I just can't fathom this one not being funded and this one not providing the services to these children who are victims of crimes. It's just hard for me to wrap my mind around that not existing. Uh Shay,

I know we've had some questions um raised in wanting to review the financials. I just want to remind the council that this is a resolution asking staff to explore the options um to yeah and to to research into what this would look like. That's all this resolution is. It's not allocating any dollars. It's not changing the budget and um inherently it's not making any real decision other than continuing the investigation. A motion to approve. Second. That was Travis and Shay Newport. Motion to approve the motion uh the resolution I should say to explore options.

Council members Newport, yes. Will, yes. Isel, no. Honchel, yes. Yes. Hughes. Yes. Uh motion carried uh five to one. So we will uh continue studying exploring it and uh keep uh keep council in the loop obviously about anything we find out. Next one is a resolution establishing residential and commercial rates for solid waste trash collection in the city. So move.

Second. That was Larry Wilms and Wendy Hughes. Is there any uh motion was to approve, right? Motion to approve. Yes. Is there any uh discussion? Okay. Uh roll call vote. Council members Newport. Yes. Wilms. Yes. Isbell. Yes. Honel. Yes. Harp. Yes. And Hughes. Yes.

Motion carried six to zero. Um, that's the end of our resolutions and ordinances. Uh, some announcements. Next city council work session is 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 20, Bella Vista District Court. Next city council regular meeting 6 p.m. Monday, January 26, Bella Vista District Court Planning Commission work session is cancelled. Planning Commission regular meeting 4:30 PSM or immediately following BCA Monday January 12 at Bell Vista District Court Board of Construction Appeals 3 p.m. Tuesday January 13 if necessary at fire station number four conference room 1639 Forest Hills Boulevard.
