# Felicia Rogers Felicia T. Rogers is the Chief of Staff at the Office of the Mayor, City of Conway. Rogers is the **City Hall-side coordinator on Project Stratus** — the channel through which Conway Development Corporation's [[Jamie Gates]] and [[Corey Parks]] route Stratus-related materials to the Mayor and the City Council, and the City Hall-side contact for [[EMH&T]] on the project's engineering coordination. ## Role and affiliations - Chief of Staff, Office of the Mayor, City of Conway. - 1111 Main Street, Conway, AR 72032. Phone: 501.513.3561. - Email: `[email protected]`. - Reports to Mayor [[Bart Castleberry]]. ## Appearances in the corpus - **2025-01-21** — included on the [[Project Stratus Permits Sequencing and Stormwater|Project Stratus Stormwater Call Request]] email thread alongside Kurt Jones, Corey Parks, and the EMH&T water-resources team. - **2025-04-01 19:32** — forwarded Jamie Gates's [[Project Stratus Next Steps and Sequence|"Project Stratus Next Steps and Sequence" memo]] to all eight Conway City Council members and ccd Mayor Castleberry, ~3 hours before the Special Council Meeting at which the MOU was adopted. Per the email: "Council, Here is a breakdown from Mr. Gates to help assist with the MOU. I have also attached the latest version with the clarification about tax abatement. You will have copies of all of this at your desk. I am also updating the online agenda to include the final version of this MOU." ## Notes Rogers's email distribution list for the April 1 memo includes both city and personal/Conway-Corp email addresses for several Council members: - Andy Hawkins: `[email protected]` AND `[email protected]` (Conway Corp board?). - David Grimes: `[email protected]` (personal Gmail). - Drew Spurgers: `[email protected]` AND `[email protected]`. - Spencer Hawks: `[email protected]` AND `[email protected]`. - Theodore Jones Jr.: `[email protected]` (personal). - Shelley Mehl: city email AND `[email protected]`. - Mark Ledbetter, Shelia Isby, Charles Finkenbinder, Denise Hurd: city `.gov` addresses. This dual-distribution pattern (city + personal/non-city) means time-sensitive Project Stratus communications routed through Rogers may not be fully captured in any single email-server FOIA search. Personal/non-city email addresses may carry records outside the City's record-custody scope. Rogers's "I am also updating the online agenda to include the final version of this MOU" indicates the MOU posted online for the April 1 meeting was updated by Rogers' office in the hours before the meeting — i.e., the public version of the MOU available before the Council vote may have differed from the earlier draft. The "latest version with the clarification about tax abatement" indicates a substantive update to the tax-abatement language was made in the final hours before adoption. Rogers's role as the City Hall conduit for Stratus-related materials may be the channel through which the Mayor's Office controlled the project narrative — including the May 20, 2026 routing of the FOIA-2026-126 substantive cover letter through her Office rather than through the City Clerk.
