Please attend or watch Telecom Board tonight. It may not be live at 5:30 but is to be run immediately afterward and may be found live on the city site

Although the local media harshly criticized the City's recent denial of a Council Member’s scheduled issue forum on the government channel, you probably haven’t heard about a Telecom Board member’s proposal to totally eliminate such forums. The Board will hear the proposal today at their “live” meeting at City Hall (5:30 p.m.)..

Board Member Bell will present the proposal as a slide show, after consulting privately with the City Attorney Kit Williams and Susan Thomas, Policy and Information Officer. Kit has said that the forums are legal and constitutional, and both he and Ms. Thomas have said they thing the forums are great, so it’s hard to figure their decision to nix the forums and completely bypass the Telecommunications Board in the process of denying the earlier forum request..

As I see it, the City Hall folks have presented only opinions and conjecture as their reasons for denying the forums, and I have filed a complaint to the Board that also should be considered at tonight’s Board meeting. In addition, several local citizens have followed current channel policy to request an issue forum to discuss Board Member Bell’s proposal, as well as to provide more public iinput into how the government channel is used and programmed.

Please tune in to the Board Meeting tonight on Channel 16. You can also call in or send an email during the meeting.

Derailments happen but no one addressed the possibility mentioned by the Town Branch neighbors when the Hill Place student-apartment PZD was approved

 
No one injured, no hazardous material released in 11-car train derailment

Derailment in Brentwood in NWAT

BRENTWOOD — Arkansas & Missouri Railroad crews worked all day Friday to realign 11 cars that were derailed from a portion of railroad track near Brentwood, in southern Washington County.
According to Railroad Chief Ron Sparks, the derailment happened at about 9: 40 p. m. Thursday. The southbound freight train was traveling 35 miles-perhour, carrying a conductor and an engineer, when 11 cars derailed. No one was injured.
“ Seven of the cars were empty and four of them were loaded with general commodities, ” Sparks said. “ There were no hazardous materials released into the environment — that’s the most important thing for people to know. ”
Sparks wouldn’t identify the specific contents of the train due to customer confidentiality agreements.
Railroad crews worked through Thursday night and until dark Friday trying to realign the cars.
“ We’re busy recovering what we can and putting the cars and the track back together, ” he said. “ Derailments happen on a weekly basis, but ones of this magnitude happen about every two years. ”
The cause of the derailment has not been determined, but Sparks said the circumstances don’t appear suspicious.
Washington County Emergency Management Director John Luther said area response agencies worked together during response efforts Thursday night.
Responding agencies included: the Boston Mountain Fire Department, the Washington County Emergency Management Agency, Washington County Haz-Mat, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Fayetteville Fire Department, Springdale Firefighters and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.
“ It was a real good cooperative effort, ” Luther said. “ It was hard to get to, but everyone worked well and shared information. Once everything was stabilized, it was left in the hands of the railroad authorities. ”
Sparks said railroad crews are well equipped to handle all types of derailments.
“ The railroad industry is very durable, ” he said, “ These kind of incidents could cripple an industry, but the railroads deal with them on a daily basis. We have the manpower and the equipment to handle it. ”
Freight between Fort Smith and Northwest Arkansas, he added, won’t be dispatched until Monday.
Luther said the Washington County Sheriff’s Office is currently working in conjunction with the Washington County Emergency Management Agency to form a class geared toward train accident response. “ We’ve had a couple train accidents over the last month or two and now we’ve had another one, ” he said. “ We recognize that it’s something we don’t often deal with, so we got with the proper authorities to get something on the books so our people are better prepared to deal with it. ”

Fayetteville Council tells Telecom Board to come up with policy to manage forums

Forum issue goes to Telecom Board
BY MARSHA L. MELNICHAK Northwest Arkansas Times
Posted on Thursday, June 5, 2008
URL: http://www.nwanews.com/nwat/News/65893


Council sends forum issue for Telecom Board advice, NWA Times says

June 3, 2008, City Council meeting archived video

Any potential changes in policy regarding forums on the Fayetteville Government Channel moved to the Telecommunications Board this week.
“ We in the council decided if there ought to be a change, why not let the people closest to the issue, which is the Telecom Board, let them come up with the proposed changes they come up with and then we’ll act upon them, ” Ward 3 Alderman Robert Rhoads said Wednesday.
Richard Drake, Telecom Board chairman, told the Fayetteville City Council that he thought the board could make a policy recommendation in August.
Jim Bemis of Fayetteville, one of the speakers at the council meeting Tuesday and a strong proponent of forums on the Government Channel, hopes to speed that process along through complaint and appeals.
Bemis said Wednesday he will ask for written explanations of the opinions of Susan Thomas, public information officer and policy adviser; and Kit Williams, city attorney; that led to stopping production of new forums and the airing of earlier forums.
“ It is all opinion. It’s not law, ” Bemis said.
“ My interpretation was that what we were doing was outside of the scope of council-approved policy, that the forums we were conducting did not fit that definition, so we stopped, ” said Thomas, who told Bemis in an e-mail that the council affirmed her decision.
Bemis disagreed.
“ I think many people had the impression, at least I did, that they would not continue with Susan making decisions for the council and the Telecom Board, but she’s saying she will continue to make the decision that there will be no forums until the Telecom Board comes back with a recommendation, ” he said.
Rhoads confirmed Thomas’ understanding of the council’s direction regarding the forums.
“ The real issue is that there’s definitely a policy on these forums and it’s been in existence for several years, ” he said. “ Susan was just enforcing the policy. ”
Ward 1 Alderman Brenda Thiel said the council asked the Telecom Board to review the policy and make recommendations for changes if they were needed “ so we can actually follow what’s written because we’re doing one thing and the policy says something else. ”
Bemis said he plans to go back to the Telecom Board with his complaint based on Thomas’ responses to his earlier complaint about stopping the forums.
“(I will ) take my complaint all the way through to the council and make them make a decision at least on the forums, ” he said. “ Otherwise it’s going to take another two or three years. ”
At Tuesday’s meeting, the council agreed that the Telecom Board is an advisory board.
Agreement on the forums or what should happen next were not so easy to come by.
Thiel said she thought forums could be shown on the city’s public access channel, Cable Access Television. Acknowledging that there is an argument for only showing forums about government issues on the Government Channel, she said the issue then is who determines what are government issues.
“ That’s what needs to be clarified by the Telecom Board, ” she said. “ Who’s going to make the decision of whether or not it actually is a city government issue ?”
Ward 2 Alderman Nancy Allen said she thinks that shedding light on city government is one of the primary functions of the Government Channel.
“ The forums I have seen on the Government Channel have been well balanced and enlightening, ” she wrote in an e-mail to the Times. “ They are informative. It is hard for me to believe that an exchange of ideas could be anything other than a positive. ”
“ I think everybody would agree: Let’s have a fair and balanced forum, ” Williams said. “ Nobody’s going to argue with that. The problem is how can you get there. Who is going to be the designated decider of what viewpoints fit that and what viewpoints do not ?
“ When it says they have to be fair and balanced on the Government Channel, that means if that was actually true, that somebody from the government would be saying, ‘ OK, you’re fair and balanced, but you over there that want to speak, you’re not going to speak because you’re not fair and balanced. ’ That’s exactly what the government can’t do is choose between different viewpoints. ”
His advice is to keep all advocacy off the Government Channel and have it “ just be a purveyor of unvarnished information, just what the government is doing, whether it’s good, bad or indifferent. ”
