Alexander Council seeks new Treasurer

With the resignation of former City Treasurer JoAn Churchill the Alexander City Council must now find a replacement, at least until the November Election. Churchill submitted her resignation in December, which became effective December 31.

At the January 22 council meeting Council Member Juanita Wilson suggested allowing whoever wins the upcoming election replace Churchill. She said the city staff can handle those duties until then.

Council Member Joy Gray said the city council should at least attempt to fill the position. A deadline of February 16 was set to submit resumes to city hall.

The only legal qualification is the applicant must live in the city limits of Alexander and be a registered voter. Having an accounting background would be a plus.

Resumes should be addressed to:

Mayor Crystal Herrmann
P.O. Box 610
Alexander, AR 72002.

Or, they can be hand delivered to the Alexander Municipal Complex, 15605 Alexander Rd., Alexander Arkansas; across from the Post Office.

In this year's election the positions to appear on the ballot will be for city recorder and city treasurer. They are both four-year terms. Council members will also have to seek re-election to remain on the council. They serve two-year terms. The petition process to get on the November ballot will begin mid-summer.
