Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tracy Johnson, Gina Rambo, James R. "Rick" Bright, Greg Moon, and Karen Pryor v. Carol Wright

March 10, 20222022 Ark. 48

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of an emergency injunction seeking removal of three members of the Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission. It held that the Constitution did not require the at-large commissioner to reside within the city when the governing statute allowed residence in either the municipality or county, and that the statute specifically authorizing council members to serve on the commission prevailed over the generally applicable restriction on council members' appointment to municipal offices.
