Bull Shoals council appoints Jessica Wilkinson as recorder, assigns FOIA duties
Summary
The Bull Shoals City Council appointed Jessica Wilkinson as city recorder and updated the role to include handling FOIA requests; pay for FOIA work was set at $14.50 per hour plus $50 per meeting.
Acting Mayor Travis Fancher announced the appointment of Jessica Wilkinson as Bull Shoals city recorder after interviews with two candidates. The council approved a revised job description that requires the recorder to process FOIA requests in coordination with department heads; the pay for FOIA work was set at $14.50 per hour and $50 per meeting.
Councilman Grede moved to appoint Wilkinson and the motion passed unanimously (Yes-6, No-0). Jessica Wilkinson was sworn in by Justice of the Peace Sandra Lee. The council also approved the revised job description and compensation terms for FOIA duties in the same action.
The change makes FOIA processing an explicit duty of the recorder and directs the recorder to work with department heads to gather records. The council did not set a separate timeline for FOIA responses in the motion, although meeting discussion referenced a three-day target for routine requests when government agencies are not involved. The council did not take further personnel votes beyond the appointment at this meeting.
