The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission (MAPC) has approved my rezoning. What do I need to do in order to place it on the City Council agenda for approval?
Once a rezoning has been approved by the MAPC, you must submit an ordinance, plat and publication fee in order for it to be placed on the City Council agenda. The ordinance and plat need to be submitted via email to Donna Jackson in the Office of the City Clerk prior to the publication fee being paid. The publication fee is a per word fee.

The fee can be paid at the City Collector's Office at the Municipal Center, 300 S. Church Street. Contact the City Collector's Office at 870-932-3042 to find out the current publication fee. Also, hard copies of the ordinance and plat, as well as a receipt from the City Collector's Office showing payment, will need to be submitted to the Office of the City Clerk in City Hall. The ordinance and plat, as well as the publication fee, must be submitted by 10 a.m. on the Thursday before the City Council meeting. The City Council meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month.

Note: Ordinances are legal documents. You and/or your attorney are responsible for their content.
