# Charles Finkenbinder Charles Finkenbinder is the City Attorney for the City of Conway. He was present at the April 22, 2025 regular City Council meeting at which the three Project Stratus land-use ordinances were adopted ([[Conway City Council Agendas and Minutes on Project Stratus]]), and was on the distribution list for Jamie Gates's [[Project Stratus Next Steps and Sequence|April 1 sequencing memo]]. ## Role and affiliations - City Attorney, City of Conway. - Email: `[email protected]`. ## Appearances in the corpus - **April 22, 2025** — present and acting at the Council meeting ([[Conway City Council Agendas and Minutes on Project Stratus]]). Did not address Council substantively per the minutes (city attorney presence at routine Council meetings is procedural). - **2025-04-01** — recipient of [[Felicia Rogers]]'s forward of Jamie Gates's [[Project Stratus Next Steps and Sequence]] memo to Council. ## Notes The City Attorney's substantive views on Project Stratus — including the MOU drafting (per the April 1 record: "during that process we've involved leadership and legal counsel from the city and Conway Corporation"), the Act 9 bond structure, and the trade-secret stamp on the MOU itself — are not documented in the FOIA-2026-126 production. The City Attorney's communications with [[Forgelight Ventures, LLC]] counsel (presumably [[Kutak Rock LLP]] given the [[Project Boar Site Survey|Project Boar parallels]], though the Conway counsel is not identified in this production) would be the substantive record of legal-side negotiations. Those records may be in the City Attorney's privileged files.
