Board removes Advertising & Promotion Commission member after residency discovery
Summary
The board adopted a resolution removing Diane Patterson from the Advertising and Promotion Commission after staff discovered she is a Texas resident and therefore ineligible to serve under Arkansas law.
The board voted to remove Diane Patterson from the Advertising and Promotion Commission after staff learned she was a resident of Texas and not an Arkansas resident, making her ineligible to serve.
The city attorney read the resolution noting Patterson "is a resident of the state of Texas and does not reside in Arkansas and... cannot legally sit on the Advertising and Promotion Commission." The board moved, seconded and adopted the resolution on a roll-call vote.
No member of the public spoke on the item; the board did not go into executive session and treated the matter as a procedural removal based on residency requirements.
