# Felicia Rogers Chief of Staff in the Mayor's Office, City of Conway, anchored on `[email protected]` and the email-signature self-identification *"Felicia T. Rogers | Chief of Staff | Office of the Mayor."* Rogers is the **central operational node** in the Mayor's-Office-side Flock workflow across this production: she signs off on the procurement structure, handles ARDOT permitting, receives citizen FOIAs from the City Clerk, is the CPD strategic-reporting liaison, and runs the Mayor's Office's internal records-pull operations. ## Role and affiliations - **Chief of Staff**, [[Mayor's Office (Conway)]]. Office at 1111 Main Street, Conway, AR 72032; phone 501.513.3561. Per (primary public record, [Conway Mayor's Office page](../../web%20archive/2026-05-18/conwayarkansas.gov/mayor.md)). - Authored the *"waive three readings"* memo accompanying the January 14, 2025 [[January 14 2025 Conway City Council Meeting|Council agenda packet]] — the operational memo that routes ordinance items into Council readings. ## Appearances in the corpus ### Pre-Council procurement signoff (December 30, 2024) Rogers's pivotal email reply on the [[Pre-Council Procurement Coordination Dec 2024 – Jan 2025|Flock Cameras thread]] (December 30, 2024 4:26 PM): > *"No ma'am! This is a great use of Asset forfeiture funds. The City's ARPA funding is allocated and had to be obligated by 12/31/2024. I am not for sure of the procurement method since all of central Arkansas uses these cameras for contiguity purposes. So council may have to waive the competitive bid process if needed. Fe"* This is the **Mayor's-Office Chief-of-Staff endorsement of the asset-forfeiture funding mechanism** and of the bid-waiver procurement structure. Tiffany Maddox relayed Rogers's signoff to Chief Harris five minutes later; Chief Harris proceeded to instruct Celeste Phillips to draft the ordinance. ### ARDOT permitting (2025-2026) Rogers handled the Mayor's-Office side of the ARDOT right-of-way permitting trail end-to-end ([[ARDOT Right-of-Way Permitting — Case 941655 and Permit SP-08-2025-0036]]): - **2025-02-04 / 2025-02-11**: Routed Chief Harris's request for a Mayor-letterhead support letter to ARDOT through Shawanna Rodgers, who printed and returned for *"BC signature"*. - **2026-01-13 9:41 PM**: Rogers → Shawanna Rodgers, *"Can you print for BC?"* — printing the issued ARDOT Permit P1948 for Mayor Castleberry's countersignature. - **2026-01-14 1:37 AM**: Rogers → Chris Harris, *"FYI – We are one step closer….. Should have this signed and back to ARDOT by tomorrow."* - **2026-01-19 5:44 PM**: Rogers → ARDOT Permit Officer Tabie Richards, *"I have attached the Traffic control form"* — completing the Mayor's-Office return of the signed form. The Mayor's-Office paper-routing workflow she runs (Rogers → Rodgers → Castleberry → return) is consistent across the 2023 pre-Flock LPR letter and the 2025-26 Flock permitting. ### Citizen FOIA routing (April-May 2026) City Clerk Denise Hurd routinely forwarded Flock-mentioning citizen FOIAs to Rogers and Adrian Moore at the Mayor's Office. Rogers acknowledged April 17, 2026's "Jacquiline Dickens" FOIA at 11:22 AM the same day: *"This request has been entered into our system. Can you also cc Adrian on these? Thanks Felicia T. Rogers."* Across the April-May 2026 wave ([[Spring 2026 Citizen FOIA and Reconsideration Wave]]) Rogers received every Flock-related citizen FOIA from the City Clerk. ### CPD strategic-reporting liaison (2024-2025) Rogers is the named recipient of CPD's End of Year Report (January 2024), 2nd Quarter Report (July 2025), and the CPD Future Goals update (June 2025) ([[CPD Strategic Reporting to Mayor's Office 2024-2025]]). The institutional liaison for CPD's strategic reporting cadence runs through her. ### Internal records-pull operations - 2025-06-20: receives the January 14, 2025 Council meeting minutes from Councilman Spencer Hawks: *"All I have pertaining to this."* — implying Rogers had asked Hawks for the minutes, eleven months after the meeting. - 2026-03-02 / 2026-03-03: requests January and February 2026 PO listings from Tiffany Maddox ([[Mayor's Office Internal PO Records Pull March 2026]]) — anticipatory or external-inquiry-driven record collection. ### April 20, 2026 Flock talking points (recipient via Castleberry forward) Rogers is one of four recipients of Castleberry's April 17 forward of the Jacquiline Dickens "negligent unanimous decision" email. She is *not* directly on the Burningham → Harris → Castleberry talking-points chain in [[Flock Talking Points to Mayor's Office April 2026]] but is on the spring 2026 oversight chain at the Mayor's-Office level. ## Notes - Rogers's role as the Mayor's-Office Chief-of-Staff is anchored on her own email signature in the corpus (`501.513.3561`) — corroborating the role she holds on the public Mayor's Office page. - In the 2023 records, Rogers's email signature reads simply *"Felicia T. Rogers / Office of the Mayor"* without the "Chief of Staff" title — suggesting the formal title was acquired some time after 2023. - Rogers's first-person initial *"Fe"* appears on her direct replies to internal Mayor's-Office staff.
