# Conway 2025 City Budget The City of Conway's adopted 2025 budget, 42 pages, produced in response to item 1 of `FOIA-2026-125` (2025 budget proceedings). The document is a text-layer PDF that extracted cleanly. The budget is the produced deliverable of the City's normal annual appropriation process — the budget the Conway City Council reviewed and adopted in late 2024 for the fiscal year that began January 1, 2025. It is the budget Chief Harris referred to on 2024-12-13 when he wrote that the Flock LPR cameras were "unexpectedly cut from the 2025 budget" ([[Morning - Procurement Pivot Thread]]). ## What's inside The produced PDF is the adopted 2025 budget. It contains fund and department appropriations across the City's general fund, enterprise funds, and special-revenue accounts, organized in the City's standard budget format. ## Key takeaway > **A keyword scan of the produced 2025 budget for "flock," "license plate," "LPR," "forfeiture," and "surveillance" returns no matches.** The adopted 2025 budget — the document the Council deliberated and approved — contains no Flock LPR camera line item under any of these labels. The absence is consistent with the prior-corpus narrative in [[Morning - Procurement Pivot Thread]] (Chief Harris's "cut from the 2025 budget" email) and is the budget-side corollary of [[Ordinance O-25-09 — LPR Bid Waiver and Asset Forfeiture Appropriation]] — the cameras were funded entirely off-budget, by ordinance, from the asset-forfeiture fund (250). *Observation, distinct from the record:* absence in a keyword scan is not absence in the budget; a budget item might be labeled under different terms (e.g., a generic "computer equipment" line at a fund-department level). The wiki records the keyword-scan finding and the contextual evidence supporting the "cut" reading. ## People and orgs mentioned - [[City of Conway]] — adopting authority. - [[Conway City Council]] — deliberating and adopting body. ## Concepts invoked - [[Asset-Forfeiture Funding for Surveillance Procurement]] ## Cross-references - [[Morning - Procurement Pivot Thread]] — the 2024-12-13 "cut from the 2025 budget" email. - [[Flock LPR Cameras Capital Request]] — the general-fund capital ask the budget did not adopt. - [[Ordinance O-25-09 — LPR Bid Waiver and Asset Forfeiture Appropriation]] — the asset-forfeiture-fund route that the Council ultimately took. - [[2024-12 Flock LPR Cameras Cut from 2025 Budget]] — the event page anchored to the December 2024 budget action. ## Open questions / follow-ups - A line-level review of the adopted budget (beyond keyword scanning) for any item that could route to ALPR / surveillance procurement remains an open task.
