The Agenda: Free schoolhouse, transportation grants

🏫 Accepting the donation of Morningstar Schoolhouse and adjacent 18.9 acres from the Walton Family Foundation, which would continue renovations on the building before the city takes ownership.

• The city's Parks and Recreation Department plans to use it for programming like seasonal camps and rent it out for nonprofit organizations and events like weddings, according to city documents.

🅿️ A contract worth about $2.1 million with Milestone Construction for the construction of the north entry and parking lot for Phillips Park. The project includes adding batting cages, creating walking paths and laying infrastructure for a future playground and rest area, according to city documents.

🚧 Accepting three grants from the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission:

• About $2.4 million for the Greenhouse Road improvements project.
• $2.5 million for Interstate 49 and J Street interchange improvements.
• About $1.5 million for improvements to the Southwest Regional Airport Boulevard and South Vaughn Road intersection.

Rogers will vote on:

🚲 Entering into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation to receive a grant of nearly $4 million to go toward projects in the Northwest Arkansas Regional Vision Zero Plan and the city's Safety Action Plan, which are both geared toward making transportation safer for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. The city would contribute nearly $997,000.

🗑️ Slightly raising solid waste collection fees. Exactly by how much is TBD, but curbside trash collection for a 96-gallon garbage cart and 64-gallon recycle cart could increase from just under $20 to about $21.

📍 If you go: 6pm at Bentonville City Hall and 6:30pm at Rogers City Hall

Editor's note: This story has been corrected to say the Morningstar Schoolhouse donation would come from the Walton Family Foundation (not Walton Enterprises).
