Jonesboro Board of Aldermen appoints Pam Breedlove town attorney; names Catrice Hudson clerk and tax collector
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting the Jonesboro Board of Aldermen approved Pam Breedlove as town attorney and appointed Catrice Hudson as town clerk and tax collector; the council also adopted a surplus resolution and approved routine financial reports.
The Jonesboro Board of Aldermen on Dec. 10 approved several administrative appointments and routine measures, including the selection of Pam Breedlove as the town attorney and Catrice Hudson as town clerk and tax collector.
The board, led by Mayor James "Spike" Harris, first amended the agenda to allow immediate consideration of a town-attorney appointment. Nia Johnson moved the amendment, which Robbie Siadek seconded; the council adopted it without discussion. On the amended item Johnson moved to appoint Pam Breedlove as town attorney, and James Ginn seconded the motion. Council recorded votes showed Devin Flowers opposed while Johnson, Siadek and Ginn voted in favor; the motion carried.
The council also approved the appointment of Catrice Hudson as town clerk (motion by Robbie Siadek, seconded by Robert Hunter) and then confirmed Hudson as tax collector (motion by Siadek, seconded by Johnson). Both appointments were adopted with the board recorded as "all in favor." The minutes include a signature line reading "Careth Catrice Hudson, Clerk."
Other formal actions included adoption of an "LPS Surplus Resolution" and unanimous approvals of the town's October and November 2024 financial statements, each recorded with two members voting "nay" on the minutes and financials motions. The board also tabled introduction of an ordinance to declare 824 6th Street surplus.
The meeting record shows routine procedural votes and no further debate on the appointments. The minutes do not define the acronym "LPS" used in the surplus resolution or expand on operational details of the town-attorney contract. The minutes state the attorney appointment as effective "starting January 2024"; because that date conflicts with the meeting date (Dec. 10, 2024), the minutes' year is reported here as written but the article states only "beginning in January."
