On the agenda next was to consider A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR TO PURCHASE CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY NECESSARY FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW VETERAN'S PARK, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
The Clerk read the Resolution in its entirety. Mayor Freeman asked if there was any discussion.
Mayor Freeman stated that originally the city wanted to just lease the property from First Baptist
Church, but City Attorney Candice Settle cited some possible issues with doing so. Mrs. Settle
stated that FBC wanted to include an indemnification provision and she was worried that in
doing so there would be issues of liability and the city no longer having immunity due to us not
actually owning the property. She also mentioned that after speaking to David Schoen with the
Arkansas Municipal League that he was concerned that we may be violating the Arkansas
constitution if we entered into an indemnification provision since we would be providing funds
to a private agency. Alderman Swaim also expressed concern with the fact that if we lease the
property we would also not be eligible for any parks and recreation grants because we have to
actually own the property. Mayor Freeman said that if the council approves the next step would
be for FBC to take it before their church for approval. Alderman Petty asked if he should abstain
from voting due to being a member of FBC. City Attorney Candice Settle said if he would feel
more comfortable doing so, then that would not be a problem. Alderman Swaim seconded by
Alderman Moore moved that the Resolution be adopted. On the Clerk's calling the roll,the
following vote resulted: Ayes—Alderman Swaim, Dodd, Sparkman, Parker and Moore. Nays—
None. Alderman Petty abstained.
The Mayor thereupon declared the Resolution adopted and signed the Resolution, which
was attested by the Deputy City Clerk and impressed with the seal of the City.

litigation and attorney's fees. This is also Mayor Freeman's recommendation. Alderman

around $650,000 and with change orders it totaled $720,000. Alderman Parker seconded

sell the property or demolish and create a green space. Alderman Parker commented that we do
