July 28 2026 - City Council Meeting

The City Council of Conway, Arkansas, held a meeting on July 28, 2026, where several procurement and zoning matters were discussed. The council approved an ordinance appropriating $43,617.65 in insurance proceeds for the replacement of the band shell cover at Simon Park. They also adopted an ordinance amending the Conway zoning code to update language regarding temporary certificates of occupancy and add a fee table. Multiple rezoning requests were considered, including proposals to rezone properties from R1 to R2 and from S1 to R2; however, motions to approve some of these rezonings failed due to lack of second, leading to the items being sent back for further review. Additionally, the council approved a conditional use permit for retail high impact zoning to allow storage units and tenant flex space at 1550 East Dave Ward Drive. The council also approved an ordinance appropriating reimbursement funds for the Conway Police Department and authorized entering into an agreement for school resource officers with Conway Public Schools. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but several budget appropriations and zoning-related ordinances impacting future development were approved or discussed.
