City government finances summed across the 14 covered cities with Census finance data - not every government in the area, and county/state/school spending is not included. Read from the Census Bureau government-finance file.
Reported by 14 city police agencies to the FBI (NIBRS) and read from the FBI Crime Data Explorer. Offenses reported to the FBI by the covered cities' own police agencies, summed - not sheriff or state patrol activity, and not every city reports every year; reporting practices differ between agencies.
The next one on the calendars is Regular Council (Farmington) on Tuesday, September 8 - one of 139 meetings currently scheduled across Arkansas's covered cities. Each meeting page links to the city's own agenda.
Cities set their own rules - sign-up forms, comment periods and time limits differ - so every agenda page here shows that city's own participation instructions when the record includes them.

51 (Limited) - city scores weighted by the records behind each, from the 11 cities with a full record base. It describes what official records show about responsiveness, safety and spending; it never ranks governments or predicts anything.
17 of 17 covered cities have enough official records for a number: 1 Good and 16 Limited. A Limited band means the records show gaps or there are not yet enough records to say - never a judgement.
From the governments themselves: city meeting portals and agenda documents, city and statewide land-use records, reported crime and government finance files. Every item names its official source, and pages refresh every 12 hours.
