Dover Fire Chief Charles Duvall told the City Council Tuesday evening that his department has dealt with ongoing violations, and citations are now being issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The county&#8217;s current burn ban took effect September 21 under an order issued by County Judge Ben Cross. Duvall said residents have had plenty of time to get the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And those tickets can get expensive. Under Pope County&#8217;s burn ban ordinance, a first violation carries a $50 fine, a second violation during the same ban period is $200, and a third is $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department has also been busy with several serious fires, including two that destroyed homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Owen Wait Road in the Linker Mountain area, firefighters responded to a structure fire that was a total loss. With tall grass around the property, crews concentrated on keeping the flames from spreading beyond the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fire destroyed a two-story home on Country Club Road. Duvall said that fire started with a tractor in the garage and spread to the house. A dog also died in the fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firefighters responded to a brush fire that got out of control on North Elizabeth Street, along with a dryer fire at East Camp Street. In that case, the renter had already put the fire out before crews arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department also responded to a fire alarm pulled by a student at Dover Middle School and has been conducting search-and-rescue training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">City looking at new equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The council also spent some time talking about equipment purchases, including a truck for Public Works and some expensive computer replacements at City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor Roger Lee said the Public Works Department needs a new truck. One available through the state&#8217;s purchasing program would cost around $40,000, and Lee is considering how to work that into next year&#8217;s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city&#8217;s computer server is another big expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The existing server is five years old and due for replacement. Dover paid around $7,000 for the current system, but the new one will cost $19,000. The purchase order has already been signed, and the equipment is on order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s not the end of the computer purchases. The city replaced two computers earlier this year and still needs three desktops and a laptop, an additional $9,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water department gets good review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was some encouraging news from Dover&#8217;s water department, where Public Works Director JJ White reported a successful sanitary survey by the Arkansas Department of Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sanitary survey is the state&#8217;s review of a public water system&#8217;s facilities, operations and management to identify potential problems with drinking water safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White said the city received plenty of compliments during the review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several city representatives also recently attended wastewater training in Clarksville to meet requirements under Arkansas Act 925 of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law established new financial oversight requirements for wastewater utilities, including rate studies and training for members of their governing boards. A majority of board members subject to the training requirement must complete eight hours, with a December 31, 2026, deadline for existing members covered by the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The training made for a long day, with a suggestion at the council meeting that future sessions be completed online instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Police activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dover Police Chief Josh Titsworth reported 164 incidents during September and discussed some work the department has been doing around court security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Titsworth recently attended a court security class and is looking at ways to make Dover&#8217;s district courtroom more secure, particularly around the lobby it shares with City Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also said Ozark Memories Day went well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Walking trail grant and other city projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dover also shared news of its $179,000 federal grant for a walking trail at City Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will give Dover its first designated walking trail, with two connected loops, lighting and a new parking area. One of the loops will extend into six acres of park property near Cedar Creek Drive that the city has owned for years but hasn&#8217;t developed much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee recently walked through the plans with River Valley Record, including the proposed route and other changes planned for the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivervalleyrecord.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Dover-City-Park-Trail-Grant-Graphic.png\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"2090\">Read our full story on Dover&#8217;s walking trail, including the design and our interview with Mayor Lee.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city is also collecting quotes for new &#8220;Welcome to Dover&#8221; signs, another project officials have been discussing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee wants to address the city&#8217;s franchise fees before the end of the year as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dover already collects those fees from companies such as Entergy and cable providers, but Lee said the city needs to put the charges into a formal ordinance. He plans to work on that before the end of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And although the next U.S. Census is still several years away, Dover is already getting information about the 2030 count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee said he wants to make sure everyone in the city is counted. Census figures help determine how federal funding is distributed for roads, schools, public services and other programs, making an accurate population count especially important for smaller communities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOVER, Ark. \u2014 Pope County has been under a burn ban for most of the summer and fall, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped several people from burning.
