The Board of Aldermen for the Town of Jonesboro has appointed Warren “Woogie” Bradley as the Public Works Director and Carl Johnson as the Water and Sewer Division Operator.

The actions by Aldermen Robbie Siadek, Nia Watkins, Devin Flowers, Tracy Ginn, and Robert Hunter took place during the Board’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting that was held at 6:00 pm in the Conference Room of Jonesboro City Hall on Tuesday, January 13th.

Prior to the session was a Public Hearing at 5:30 pm regarding Ordinance 2025-014, which was then adopted as the first order of business once the regular meeting began. 

Ordinance 2025-014 amends Chapter 32 of the Town of Jonesboro Code of Ordinances to add Section 32-105, which refers to estimated fees for tampering with water meters. 

Fees/fines set were:
1st Offense: $100.00
2nd Offense: $200.00
3rd Offense: $250.00 plus having a lockbox attached to the water meter, along with the inability to have water turned back on until all amounts owed, late fees, disconnect fees, reconnect fees, and the cost to install the lockbox are paid. 

Additional business handled was the adoption of the revised Town of Jonesboro employee handbook and procedures for Public Records requests. The session closed following the monthly department heads’ reports, along with final comments from council members and Jonesboro Mayor James “Spike” Harris.
