Newly appointed Bull Shoals Recorder/Treasurer Tina Bailey is already on the job after being selected Tuesday evening by the council in a special session to fill the vacant position.

The position was vacated in July with the resignation of Recorder/Treasurer Kim Williams.

Mayor David Nixon says both he and the council had conducted interviews of several candidates for the position, and the council was ready to move forward.

Bailey and her husband located to Bull Shoals in late 2016 from Crosby, Texas, near Houston. In her position with the Crosby Independent School District, Bailey was responsible for maintaining the mileage records for the school’s fleet of 75 buses. She is pursuing her bachelor’s degree in accounting. Bailey and her husband have family ties to Bull Shoals and have vacationed in the area for a number of years.Mayor Nixon says the position duties were reorganized during the council’s regular monthly meeting in July, and the budget was amended to reflect the action.

While the recorder/treasurer is an elected position, Mayor Nixon says the reorganization was conducted with an eye on the future, with the Arkansas Municipal League expected to support legislation in 2019 that will revamp the role of recorder/treasurers across the state.

The term Bailey was selected to fill expires December 31, 2020.
