City of Little Rock Agenda Board Meeting 7.28.26

The City of Little Rock held a board meeting on July 28, 2026, which included several procurement and contracting discussions. The board approved multiple resolutions authorizing contracts and expenditures, including engineering services for the Hillaro Springs bridge replacement project funded by capital improvement sales tax and bonds, a public agency service agreement for fueling services with the Metropolitan Housing Authority, and vehicle purchases from Rush Truck Centers of Arkansas totaling approximately $234,912. Additionally, contracts were authorized for janitorial services at the 12th Street substation and for public safety camera network expansion with Genesis Datacom LLC. The board also approved a lease extension for the Three Financial Center and emergency demolition work for a damaged pedestrian bridge. The meeting included first readings of several ordinances related to zoning and development, as well as discussions on moratorium ordinances affecting data center permits, including those involving Google, with concerns about potential legal challenges. A new policy on accepting major philanthropic gifts was also discussed to formalize vetting and approval processes. The meeting concluded without a vote on some items due to insufficient board members present, with plans for a special meeting to finalize those matters.
