Bagley was among three names submitted to the council for the post. After one round of balloting, Bagley and Tommie Hunt emerged as the top two choices. On the second ballot, Bagley was approved by a narrow one-vote majority. However, Bagley received unanimous support from the council members representing the portion of the city served by the West Helena Housing Authority.
Bagley said, "It is an honor to be able to serve our city in this capacity. I appreciate receiving the unanimous support of the city's aldermen representing the west side. I look forward to getting up to speed and working with the other members of the authority board because this is a vital service for our community. Housing is key to building a quality of life that is acceptable for our citizens."
