At their October meeting, the Walnut Ridge City Council adopted a natural hazard mitigation plan for the city, discussed grant money received for new police cars and made plans to meet with house inspectors concerning a homeowner's contention that leaks from the city pool has damaged her home beyond repair.

The council voted to adopt a natural hazard mitigation plan for the city. Under the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, the United States Congress required that local jurisdictions have in place a Federal Emergency Management Agency-approved Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan as a condition of receipt of certain future mitigation funding.

"We have to have a plan in place in order to receive federal money in the event of a natural disaster," Mayor Michelle Rogers said.
