# 2026-05 Conway City Clerk FOIA-2026-125 Response
On 2026-05-22 the [[City of Conway]] City Clerk's Office completed Arkansas FOIA request `FOIA-2026-125` — Joshua Dunlap's 2026-05-19 records request to `
[email protected]`. The production released eight PDF files: the 2025 City budget; the January 14, 2025 City Council minutes and full agenda packet; the recorded **Ordinance O-25-09** (LPR bid waiver and asset-forfeiture appropriation); the original Flock LPR camera capital-request form; and two payment records (the City's $60,000 and $120,000 checks to Flock with the underlying Flock invoices). A separate 2026-05-20 City Clerk letter answered items 3 and 4 of the request — Council-member Flock-related correspondence held by the Clerk, and ALPR purchasing records held by the Clerk — with: "The City of Conway City Clerk's Office has no records in response to your request."
This response is the City-side companion to [[Conway Police Department]]'s `PD-2026-354` and `PD-2026-477` productions and closes the City-Council and budget portions of `PD-2026-477`'s referrals (items A and the Council portion of C). It resolves the corpus's longstanding [[Asset-Forfeiture Funding for Surveillance Procurement|asset-forfeiture-authorization]] open follow-up by producing the formal Council ordinance.

## Significance
- **The asset-forfeiture-authorization gap closes.** [[Ordinance O-25-09 — LPR Bid Waiver and Asset Forfeiture Appropriation]] is in the record, with its full text, the unanimous Council vote, the Mayor's approval, the Clerk's attestation, and the Faulkner County recording.
- **The Council's ordinance ratified an already-executed contract.** The chronology is on the record: contract 2024-12-18, ordinance 2025-01-14 — 27 days apart.
- **The budget-side absence is now documented.** The produced [[Conway 2025 City Budget]] contains no Flock / LPR / forfeiture line item by keyword scan, corroborating the prior-corpus claim that the cameras were cut from the appropriated budget.
- **City-Council and budget items of `PD-2026-477`'s referrals are now substantively answered.** Items B (Mayor's Office) and J (DOT permitting) remain pending in `FOIA-2026-127`, filed the same day to the Mayor's Office.
- **The Clerk's-office "no records" determination is a narrow custodial finding.** Council-member Flock correspondence held on council members' City accounts, and ALPR purchasing records held by the Mayor's Office / Purchasing Department, are not addressed by the Clerk's determination. `FOIA-2026-127` covers the Mayor's-Office side; the council-member accounts remain unaddressed by any filed request.
