Two topics of public focus will be discussed Tuesday evening by the Fort Smith Board of Directors.
The board will first discuss the city government s possible role in the COVID-19 vaccine distribution process in the city, which was requested Jan. 5 by Ward 3 Director Lavon Morton. Directors will then discuss its plan for water leak mitigation in the city.
The board will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Fort Smith Convention Center.
Vaccines
Ward 3 Director Lavon Morton at the Jan. 5 meeting said he wants Fort Smith to help roll out the COVID-19 vaccine efficiently, and the city is responding.
City and county officials on Tuesday will assess how they can use their resources to better distribute the vaccine. These resources could include providing facilities for vaccine administration and communicating to the public which groups of people can get the vaccine and when.
