# 2026-05 Conway Mayor Office FOIA-2026-127 Response
On May 22, 2026 evening (approximately 18:09 local), the Conway Mayor's Office completed its production response to Joshua Dunlap's Arkansas FOIA request `FOIA-2026-127`, released via the City's JustFOIA portal. The production — 99 files / ~212 MB — is the **largest single Conway production in the corpus to date** and is the Mayor's-Office-side companion to the City Clerk's `FOIA-2026-125` (filed the same day, May 19, 2026).
## The request
Joshua's May 19, 2026 12:32 AM email to Mayor Castleberry (cc Felicia Rogers) requested four categories of records under Ark. Code § 25-19-101 et seq.:
1. **Mayor's Office Flock-mentioning correspondence** — January 1, 2024 through receipt — from Castleberry, Rogers, Tiffany Maddox, and other Mayor's-Office personnel.
2. **DOT right-of-way permitting requests** for Flock-camera installation.
3. **Asset-forfeiture-fund disbursement records** for the Flock procurement.
4. **Council notifications** regarding the December 2024 budget-cut → asset-forfeiture pivot.
The request was confirmed as `FOIA-2026-127` on the City of Conway JustFOIA portal at 15:37 CT the same day, with due date 2026-05-22.
## The production
Substantially answers items 1, 2, and 4; partially answers item 3. The production was delivered on the due date.
The substantive findings (see [[_overview|FOIA-2026-127 overview]] for full treatment) cluster around:
- **Pre-Council procurement coordination** ([[Pre-Council Procurement Coordination Dec 2024 – Jan 2025]]) — Maddox-Rogers signoff December 30, 2024 and the "sole source" language-strip January 2, 2025.
- **ARDOT right-of-way permitting trail** ([[ARDOT Right-of-Way Permitting — Case 941655 and Permit SP-08-2025-0036]]) — fully documented from the 2025-02-11 support letter through the 2026-02-09 special permit.
- **Springbrook ERP corroboration of payments** ([[Springbrook PO Workflow Notifications and Flock Vendor Onboarding]]).
- **Spring 2026 citizen FOIA and reconsideration wave** ([[Spring 2026 Citizen FOIA and Reconsideration Wave]]) — including the Mayor's-Office formal decline of public reconsideration.
- **Flock-supplied talking points** to Mayor Castleberry ([[Flock Talking Points to Mayor's Office April 2026]]).
## Items left open
- **Item 3 inflow side** — the seizure-source ledger that produced the $180,000 in asset-forfeiture-fund balance remains unproduced. A separate request to City Finance / the asset-forfeiture-fund custodian is a candidate.
- **The contemporaneous 2024-12-13 Council-notification memo** — no written notification dated to the pivot itself is in the production.
- **City Attorney legal review** of the bid-waiver theory is not in the production.
## Significance
- **Closes the Mayor's-Office side of `PD-2026-477`'s referrals.** Items B (Mayor's-Office Flock-mentioning correspondence) and J (DOT right-of-way permitting) — both referred to "Conway City Hall" in the Conway PD `PD-2026-477` response — are now in the record via this production.
- **The Mayor's-Office search returned a wide keyword sweep.** The production includes substantive material on the Flock procurement plus tangential keyword-matches: an October 2023 AIMS Parking Management Software conversation (matched on "LPR"), a 2023 Soccer Complex networking quote (matched on "LPR" mention in the camera specs), a UCA Campus PD separate Flock-deployment request (matched on "Flock"), and seven JustFOIA confirmation messages for other requests. Mayor's-Office records sweep behavior is broader than Conway PD's.
- **Closes Open Follow-up #5** (the Mayor's-Office side) in `PLAN.md`. The remaining open item from `PD-2026-477` is the appeal of items D/G/H/I withholdings.
