A member of the Little Rock Board of Directors, during a meeting Tuesday, asked the city attorney to prepare a measure to express the city's rejection of a rate package that was approved last week by Central Arkansas Water's board of commissioners.Shortly after the start of the city board meeting, Ward 5 City Director Lance Hines requested that an earlier resolution he had sponsored regarding Central Arkansas Water be withdrawn.Hines' proposal before the city board on Tuesday would have directed the city's representatives on the Central Arkansas Water board to vote against any rate increases prior to "a thorough discussion" with Little Rock's and North Little Rock's governing bodies.
