North Little Rock City Council Meeting 10-12-26

The North Little Rock City Council meeting was held October 12, 2026. The council adopted Resolution R26-235 declaring city-owned items and equipment surplus and authorizing their sale by auction. It also approved an industrial development revenue bond ordinance for a development near Highway 70, Amazon, and Lowe’s. The project was described as an investment of up to $275 million, expected to be closer to $242 million; the city representative stated that the financing would create no financial obligation for the city. The ordinance authorized the bond sale and related agreements, including a bond purchase agreement and payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement. The transcript records affirmative votes, though the roll call is partly garbled.

The council also considered a special-use request for a short-term rental at 1217 Garland Avenue, which failed, and approved a lot-size waiver for property at 4271 East 43rd Street (also identified as 335 Smoky Lane), including the emergency clause. Several cleanup-lien resolutions were considered and passed. No vendor contract awards or other purchasing decisions were identified beyond the surplus auction.
