New Business
The September City Council agenda includes three items under New Business: a Gentry Public Schools update, the Morales and Perez Annexation, and authorization related to a City bank account reassignment.
Gentry Public Schools Update
Mark Scott will provide an update from Gentry Public Schools during the meeting. This item gives the City Council and community an opportunity to hear information directly from the school district.
Morales and Perez Annexation
The City Council will consider the Morales and Perez Annexation. The supporting documents include the Petition for Annexation and the Order Authorizing Annexation Pursuant to A.C.A. § 14-40-609, which citizens can review before the meeting.
Supporting Documents:
- [View the Petition for Annexation]
- [View the Order Authorizing Annexation Pursuant to A.C.A. § 14-40-609]
The Council will review the annexation matter and consider the action presented at the meeting.
Authorization of Bank Account Reassignment
Council will consider authorization related to the reassignment of an existing City bank account to the Water Fund. The account was no longer being used for the General Fund. Rather than closing the existing account and opening a new account, the City reassigned the account to the Water Department to set aside funds for repayment of the loan associated with the City of Highfill Regional Connection to NACA.
The account had a zero balance at the time of reassignment, so no resources were transferred between funds and the reassignment did not affect the City’s financial statements.
Council will consider formally documenting the reassignment and ratifying the action by resolution. The resolution will establish a clear record of the account’s reassignment and its purpose.
Financial Reports, Department Updates & Mayor’s Report
The City Council will review the 2025 Water and Sewer Audit and August 2026 Financial Reports and receive updates from City departments and committees, followed by the Mayor’s Report. These reports provide an overview of the City’s financial activity, current projects, operations, and activities throughout Highfill.
Updates will be presented by:
- Community Development Department
- Fire Department
- Highfill Parks Advisory Committee
- Police Department
- Public Works Department
- Mayor’s Report

Every Person Counts: Why the Census Matters
The U.S. Census occurs once every 10 years, but the information collected impacts communities for the following decade.
The U.S. Census does much more than count people—it helps determine funding, infrastructure planning, public services, and representation for the next decade.
A complete and accurate count helps Highfill:
- Secure funding for roads, water and sewer infrastructure, parks, public safety, and other community services.
- Plan responsibly for future growth and development.
- Strengthen grant applications and long-term planning efforts.
- Ensure our community receives fair representation as our population grows.
When the next Census takes place, every resident’s participation helps strengthen Highfill’s future.
Because when everyone is counted, everyone benefits.
It’s My Town!
