Management Insurance for 2024. The additional $28,301.17 needed to cover the insurance cost will be divided between the Road Fund, the County General Fund, the Jail Ops and Maintenance Office 418, and the 911 System Dispatch Fund. The funds will be taken from the Local Assistance and Tribal Fund, which presently has over $100,000 in its account. The ordinance also unappropriated funds for elections (-$308.76), the office of the Deputy Prosecutor (-$240.76), Office of Emergency Management (-$153.76), and Jail Ops and Maintenance ($1,000).
Another ordinance was passed to protect people who travel the county roads, which assures that the county road crews are able to maintain the
right-of-way, public road easements, roadways, subgrades, culverts, and signage for the roads that the county maintains. The ordinance states that no one may create an encroachment within the road easement; throw, dump, or place items onto county roadways or any of their county-maintained areas; place poles, lines, fences, or any other item within easements without written consent; burn anything within the road easement or rightof-way; diversion of water onto the roadway; or park a vehicle, trailer, camper, mobile home, equipment of item within the roadway or its easement or right-of-way. There was some discussion about the ordinance causing problems for some county residents, but Judge Lawrence Holloway said that he
had been advised by lawyers to pass such an ordinance to protect the county. The ordinance passed with all justices voting “yes” except for Justice Paul Hooks, who voted “present.” (Editor’s note - The complete ordinances are published within this week’s edition.)
An ordinance concerning the maintenance of the land on which solar panel facilities are placed by commercial companies within the county was passed, but then held for some amendment to it.

The DeValls Bluff City Council met on July 11th with Mayor Thelma Gray, Recorder/Treasurer
Darlene Connor, and all council members present. Attorney Mike Stuart read two ordinances pertaining to a 1% city sales tax. The council approved an ordinance to levy the tax which will be used for the police department and other municipal services. A second ordinance was approved to place the sales tax increase on the November 5th ballot. Stuart stated that, if passed, the tax will not actually be an increase,
but will replace the 1% tax the city had for road improvement, which is ending.
Roben Henry presented a resolution to the council to apply for a $100,000 fun park grant through the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. The grant would be used to update the play park for children. The city has applied for the grant for the past several years, but has yet to receive it. Henry stated that parents want to see a good park in DeValls Bluff instead of having to drive to Hazen. Council member Pam Del Giorno
asked if the city would be responsible for maintenance after the park was built, and Henry said yes. DelGiorno stated that she didn’t think the city had the staff to maintain it, since the current playground isn’t maintained. Council member Shirley Goff said it would take considerable maintenance which would be required if the grant was received.
