emergency person, and he went right to work right out of high school, graduated from Greenwood High School, and he sought training in EMT training and gave the highest quality of emergency services for all of our community, and this recognition is due to some of the innovations that he brought to the emergency services while serving.

clerk not less than 75 days we want to change that to 75 days currently 70 days and the requirement for the city clerk is to complete all of her documents so on occasion someone may foul at the last minute which puts a burden on our city clerks to the extent that she may have only three or four hours to complete her work so what we want to do is give her a five-day period to certify that that information
bill for cities that have city administrative forms of government currently there's only three cities in the state that's Fort Smith Arkansas Salem Springs and Barley Arkansas and basically what we want to do is it's changed the filing period to give our city clerk ample time to file the documents that she needs to certify and basically and I'll just read this as any person design to become a candidate for mayor or directorship file with the city
against any bill thank you thank you madam chair and committee I've got a very simple bill I call it a housekeeping
and particularly for the Arkansas River Valley. If we get that 12 feet, you will see a major expansion in industry, growth, and development that will impact the entire state. I urge you to vote for this resolution. Thank you. Does anyone

It's going to highlight the life and legacy of one of the greatest men to ever serve in the U.S. Army. Most consider him one of the most bravest men to ever serve. And the thing I like about it, we're kind of tied together. He was an artilleryman, and so
like to join me, I would like to have my colleagues from Fort Smith, Representative Altus and Malone, to join me. Everything that you need to know about General Darby is in this resolution.
At the same time, the city clerk has that same amount of time. So quite often, someone will file at the very last minute, which creates a hardship for our city clerk in that sometimes she may have only two to three hours to complete her certifications of those documents. What we're asking is to extend the filing period for those candidates, which will give our city clerk a window of about five days to do her certification work
your bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. this this particular bill pertains to cities that have city administrative forms of government currently in the state of arkansas there's three remaining that's fort smith siloam springs and the city of barley currently when people file for city director or mayor there they have 70 days before the election to file their statements and petitions.
days so on occasion if someone files at the last minute our city clerk may not have more than three or four hours to certify her information so what we want to do is create a situation where she'll have at least five days and the amendment takes in special elections and and the general election so we want to special elections general elections
administrative forms of government currently there's three cities in the state that that that have that that's Fort Smith Asylum Springs and Barling Arkansas and again what we're wanting to do is is add some language that the states that a person design to become a candidate for mayor or a directorship file this with the city clerk not less than 75 days the current language is 70 days and our clerk also heard date for certifying this information is also 70
