The total is sourced, but the detail beneath it has not been ingested yet.
A separate seven-member commission, funded by the city's 3% tax on prepared food and lodging, that runs tourism promotion, the Hot Springs Convention Center, and Bank OZK Arena (CEO Steve Arrison). Reported at ≈$16.1M for 2026, adopted Dec 8, 2025 (Sentinel Record). The commission's own budget document — with the division breakdown (advertising, convention center, arena operations, debt service, capital) and the exact figure — is not posted publicly; it is a records request. A rounded, secondary figure until that document is ingested.
Reconstructed — and the trail stops here. To see who this money actually reached, someone has to pull records, minutes, or a check register (that's Docket #6). It often stays dark.
There's another way. If the county paid this line from a transparent, line-attributed account, it would publish its own itemized transactions — payee, amount, date — the moment each payment cleared. No request required; the dead end becomes a list. That's the idea behind receipts by rails, filed as a solution to the transparency question — read it and weigh in.
