# Andy Hawkins Andy Hawkins is a member of the Conway City Council. He **made the motion to approve the Project Stratus MOU** on April 1, 2025, chaired the April 22, 2025 regular Council meeting (in [[Bart Castleberry|Mayor Castleberry]]'s absence) at which the annexation and rezone ordinances were adopted, and is also affiliated with [[Conway Corporation]] (he uses both `[email protected]` and `[email protected]` per the [[Project Stratus Next Steps and Sequence|April 1 distribution list]] — the latter suggesting a Conway Corporation board role or similar). ## Role and affiliations - Conway City Council member. - Email: `[email protected]` (city), `[email protected]` (Conway Corporation). ## Appearances in the corpus - **April 1, 2025** — at the Special Council Meeting ([[Project Stratus MOU and April 1 Special Council Meeting]]): "Councilman Hawkins confirmed that Conway Corp had reviewed the matter and was in accord with the proposal." Made the motion to approve the MOU; Councilwoman Mehl seconded; motion carried 8-0. - **April 22, 2025** — chaired the regular Council meeting in Mayor Castleberry's absence ([[Conway City Council Agendas and Minutes on Project Stratus]]). Presented each agenda item as it came up. Voted aye on all three Project Stratus ordinances (O-25-37, O-25-38, O-25-39). ## Notes Hawkins's dual affiliation (City Council + Conway Corporation) is procedurally significant: he was the council member who confirmed Conway Corp's review of the MOU at the April 1 meeting. Conway Corporation as a separate municipally-owned utility has its own Board of Directors; whether Hawkins serves on that Board is not explicitly established in the FOIA-2026-126 production, but his `[email protected]` email address suggests an institutional relationship beyond constituent communication. The dual-domain email-distribution pattern is also visible for Councilwoman [[Shelley Mehl]] (`[email protected]` AND `[email protected]`), suggesting Conway Corp board representation overlapping with City Council membership is a Conway practice rather than unique to Hawkins. Hawkins's role as the principal motion-maker on the Project Stratus MOU (April 1) and as the chair of the April 22 meeting positions him as one of the most consequential Council voices on the project. His Conway Corp affiliation, combined with the MOU's substantial Conway Corp infrastructure commitments (the Tupelo Bayou pump station, the blowdown line, the medium-voltage service expansion), means his vote was at minimum dual-hatted on the project.
