# City of Little Rock The capital and largest city of Arkansas, seat of [[Pulaski County]]; a city-manager / board-of-directors municipal government at 500 W. Markham Street, Little Rock, AR 72201. Respondent to Arkansas FOIA request `CLR-2026-778` — the **first City of Little Rock production** in this corpus — which produced the procurement record for the [[Little Rock Police Department]]'s surveillance and investigative-technology stack (Flock LPR, Cellebrite, NICE, SoundThinking/ShotSpotter, Fusus, Motorola Watchguard, and others). See [[_overview]]. ## Governance (as named in this corpus) Contracting authority runs through a **Board of Directors**, which authorizes contracts by **resolution** or **ordinance**; the **City Manager** executes on that authorization. - **Mayor:** [[Frank Scott, Jr.]] — approves Board resolutions ([[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]], Resolution No. 16,846 p. 2; Resolution No. 16,202 p. 2). - **City Manager:** [[Delphone Hubbard]] — named as City Manager and signatory in the 2025-10-31 City Attorney memo on the Flock renewal ([[Flock LPR Renewal (Resolution 16846)]]). Successor of Emily Cox (Acting City Manager named on the 2024-05-24 Apricot memo). - **City Attorney:** [[Thomas M. Carpenter]]; **Senior Deputy City Attorney:** [[Sherri Latimer]] (reviews EULAs / contract terms). - **City Clerk:** [[Allison Segars]] — attests resolutions (signs Resolution No. 16,846 and other 2025-cycle resolutions). - **Procurement (Department of Finance):** [[Lisa King]] (Senior Procurement Analyst); [[Latreasa Mullins-Sanders]] (LRPD Administrative Services Finance Manager) — signs the department's competitive-bid exemption requests; [[Kasha Gansky]] (CPA, Deputy Director of Finance) — routes major budget amendments. Plus Vitesh Patel (Procurement Manager) and Amanda B. Jones (Grants Manager) for procurements routed through Finance/Grants rather than LRPD/Procurement. - **Chief Information Officer:** [[Abdoul Kabaou]] — approves IT Technology Approval Forms for technology procurements. ## Roles in this corpus - **Contracting party** for every vendor agreement in `CLR-2026-778` — the City (not the Department alone) is the counterparty on the master agreements (e.g., the [[NICE Systems]] Master Relationship Agreement names "the City of Little Rock"; the SoundThinking agreement is "between City of Little Rock and ShotSpotter"). - **Procurement-vehicle user** — the City routes most surveillance purchases through **cooperative-purchasing contracts** ([[Cooperative Purchasing Vehicle]]) and, where no co-op vehicle applies, files a **competitive-bid exemption** ([[Competitive-Bid Exemption (Sole-Source Procurement)]]), authorized by Board resolution. ## Notes - The City Clerk / Board resolution record is partly visible in this production (Resolutions 16,202; 16,489; 16,846; Ordinance 22,602 are referenced), but the production is a **procurement** production, not a Board-minutes production. Full Board deliberation records are not included. - Distinct from the separate **Little Rock Police Department** FOIA portal request `PDFOI-2026-1874` (filed 2026-05-20), which remains pending as of this ingest. - The City's contracting practice across the [[CLR-2026-778]] corpus shows three distinct funding-source pathways for surveillance/investigative-technology procurement: (a) **general fund** (e.g., Flock LPR funded from Account 105225-63360); (b) **asset-forfeiture proceeds** (Fusus from Seized Funds 270529-G3514; Motorola Watchguard partly from State Asset Forfeiture 110520-60200) — see [[Asset-Forfeiture Funding for Surveillance Procurement]]; (c) **federal pass-through grant funding** (ShotSpotter from ARPA 270529-G0601 AR52A; Apricot CRT social-worker case management from ARPA Social Workers 271529 G0316AR52A).
