Adjustments have been made regarding how much money the city of Conway did not pay its police officers and firefighters after settlement that was reached in April. The Conway City Council gave Mayor Bart Castleberry the OK in a special-called meeting April 22 to move forward in a settlement regarding a class-action lawsuit that was filed against the city in 2012. Castleberry inherited the case when he was voted in as mayor in 2016. The settlement previously reached would have paid out $1.15 million to nearly 130 current and former Conway police officers and firefighters. Attorneys representing the city’s officers and firefighters obtained an expert economist who “undertook an additional analysis to confirm or refute the initial computations” of the class, according to a modified damages calculation notice filed Friday in Faulkner County Circuit Court. Attorneys representing local officers and firefighters who allege they did not receive pay raises they were promised were tasked with inquiring from the entire class how much money in unpaid wages was owed.
