Johnson County, Arkansas

First Issues Docket

Every dead end in the money trail becomes a numbered pursuit here. When a document is obtained and ingested, the issue gets stamped with the date and what it revealed. 1 of 2 complete.
#1
Ingest Johnson County’s 2026 budget.

The county’s 2026 budget as filed with the state (artransparency.gov, May 2026), turned into a money trail with a page cite on every amount.

2026-10-08 — what this revealed: $16,825,928 across 26 funds. The largest: County General Fund ($7,441,056), County Road Fund ($4,656,281), Solid Waste Fund ($1,680,488). Every total marked complete adds to its parts to the cent; where the county’s own pages disagree, the page keeps the printed number and an open question below.

#2
Reconcile County Collector (County General Fund).

Printed total is $235,830.09; the printed subtotals add to $231,415.09 (salaries $161,906.34, contract labor $6,500.00, matching $58,108.75, supplies $0.00, other services $4,900.00). The page image shows these numbers; the $4,415.00 gap is not explained on the page. Ask the county treasurer or clerk which figure is right, and how the adopted amount splits.
