Walnut Ridge Mayor Charles Snapp told Region 8 News Thursday he does not believe towns will vote on the matter. If the petitions receive the required number of signatures, the Arkansas Municipal League states the city council shall pass an ordinance for the act. If the petitions are approved, he anticipates a special election for the issue. If people of College City and Walnut Ridge vote for the consolidation, Snapp wants to re-draw voting wards to allow people from College City to run for elected positions and vote in the general election.
