Board reports Ward 7 Director BJ Wyrick named vice mayor for 2025–26 after executive session
Summary
After an executive session Jan. 7, the board reported Ward 7 Director BJ Wyrick as the new vice mayor for 2025–26; a motion to recess to executive session was made by Director Hines and seconded by Director Miller.
After returning from executive session on Jan. 7, the Little Rock City Board of Directors reported that Ward 7 Director BJ Wyrick will serve as vice mayor for the 2025–26 year.
Mayor Scott asked for a motion to adjourn after the executive-session report. Earlier, the board recessed into executive session on a motion from Director Hines with a second from Director Miller; the chair recorded the vote by voice, and the meeting went into recess.
Why it matters: The vice mayor is a formal leadership post on the board and the announcement sets the board's designated vice mayor for the coming year. The appointment was reported out of executive session; the record at the Jan. 7 meeting does not include details of any executive-session deliberations beyond the report.
Ending: Following the report that BJ Wyrick will serve as vice mayor, the board moved to adjourn the meeting.
