# City of Conway Asset-Forfeiture Finance Production — FOIA-2026-205
The [[City of Conway]] completed `FOIA-2026-205` on July 22, 2026 and released eight PDFs totaling 3,608,487 bytes and fifteen pages. The release materially answers the request's inflow-source and fund-balance questions, but it does not include a native CSV/XLSX export or a complete system-generated general-ledger detail. The production instead combines an internally formatted [[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026|Asset Forfeiture Log]], annual unaudited statements, two one-month cash-account trial balances, and duplicate copies of the already documented Flock invoices.
## Request disposition
| Requested category | Disposition | Production support |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction-level ledger covering deposits, credits, receipts, transfers, and disbursements | **Partially answered.** The Asset Forfeiture Log records dated receipts and allocations, but several “Updated Audit/Balance” rows have no amount or posting reference, many 2025-2026 account fields are blank, and the four-page PDF is a horizontally paginated schedule rather than a native ledger export. | [[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], `Jan 2023 - Present Asset Forfeiture Accounting.pdf`, pp. 1-4. |
| Existing schedules identifying inflow sources supporting the balance used for O-25-09 | **Materially answered at the source-category level.** The log names 20th District checks, DEA wires, a USPS check, and interest deposits, with dates and amounts for most listed entries. It does not supply underlying seizure/case records or explain every balance adjustment. | [[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], pp. 1-2: “Check from the 20th District,” “Wire from DEA,” “USPS Check,” and “Interest deposit.” |
| Opening/closing balance and reconciliation records around the Flock appropriation and invoices | **Substantially answered, but not as one reconciliation.** The annual statements, July 2025 trial balance, January 2026 trial balance, invoices, and earlier City payment vouchers must be read together. | [[Conway Asset Forfeiture Annual Statements 2023-2025]]; [[Conway Flock Payment Trial Balances]]; [[Flock Payment Records — INV-56859 and INV-81961]]. |
The absence of a native spreadsheet or complete GL export is a finding about this eight-file production inventory only; it is not evidence that no such record exists.
## Key takeaways
- **The inflow categories are now documentary rather than hypothetical.** The schedule records recurring “Check from the 20th District” receipts, multiple “Wire from DEA” receipts, a $31,735.74 “USPS Check,” and interest deposits ([[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], `Jan 2023 - Present Asset Forfeiture Accounting.pdf`, pp. 1-2).
- **The fund supported surveillance technology beyond Flock.** The log records “Drone package from Skydio” at `-$57,962.71` on July 25, 2024 and “Axon annual payment O-26-11” at `-$52,714.52` on January 27, 2026. The Axon product is not identified ([[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], p. 1, verbatim rows).
- **The Flock accounting treatment is internally ambiguous.** The schedule records `1/14/2025 — O-25-09 Flock Safety Cameras — -$180,000.00`, while the cash-account trial balances show separate $60,000 and $120,000 AP credits on July 9, 2025 and January 16, 2026. The earlier City vouchers identify those same-dated amounts as the two Flock payments. Whether the schedule's January line is an appropriation, encumbrance, or other available-balance reduction is not defined ([[Conway Asset Forfeiture Log 2023-2026]], p. 1; [[Conway Flock Payment Trial Balances]], both p. 1; [[Flock Payment Records — INV-56859 and INV-81961]]). See [[T018 - Conway Asset Forfeiture Schedule vs Cash Ledger]].
- **The annual statements supply a second accounting frame.** Fund 250 reports net revenue of $22,275 in 2023, $27,768 in 2024, and net expense of $83,129 in 2025. The 2025 balance sheet reports $120,000 in trade accounts payable and a $605,273 fund balance ([[Conway Asset Forfeiture Annual Statements 2023-2025]], cited statements, pp. 1-2).

## Surveillance-PII handling
The second Flock invoice includes payment-remittance banking data, and the trial balances include an internal report username. Those values are preserved only in the immutable raw/extracted evidence and are not republished in the wiki. No requester-identification image entered the production folder.
## Open questions / follow-ups
1. Request the existing native spreadsheet underlying the Asset Forfeiture Log, including formulas and all columns, if retained.
2. Request the complete native general-ledger detail for the relevant fund-250 cash, forfeiture-revenue, transfer, and expense accounts, rather than only July 2025 and January 2026 trial-balance snapshots.
3. Ask the City to identify what the schedule's running-balance column represents and whether the January 14, 2025 `-$180,000` entry is an appropriation, encumbrance, reservation, or cash transaction.
4. If case-level provenance becomes necessary, seek segregated source records tying the 20th District, DEA, and USPS receipts to non-personal posting or case identifiers without civilian information.
