Beckley City Recorder not required to live in Beckley
The state attorney general ruled that Beckley’s city recorder need not be a Beckley resident. Assistant Attorney General J Patrick Bower noted the Beckley charter, under a pre-1937 special charter amended in 1954, allows appointment without city residency though the general rule requires residency. The ruling matters for the $1.1 million city building project as the recorder must attest revenue bonds.
