We have 4 tournaments, as well at City Of Colleges Park,\" Burton said.

Denise (staff member) reported regulatory permits and short‑term rental activity. \"We've issued 4 mobile food vendors A and P permits since last month,\" Denise said, and added that Scooter's Coffee has been permitted for Oak Street. Denise said short‑term rental permitting is difficult to track: she reported 32 Airbnbs with city permits but noted third‑party listing sites show more listings and that many hosts book through those sites, making accurate counts difficult.

Commission staff described the delinquent business list and recent enforcement work. Staff said Anchoredown Ice, Del Soria and El Grocery Store resolved their outstanding issues after citations; Love's Donuts was noted as caught up. The Kohana Asian restaurant’s mailed notices were returned and staff said they are using an alternate home address for contact; another vendor listed for prior citation did not appear at a May 28 court date, staff said.

A commissioner moved to adopt the commission’s standard 30/60/90‑day enforcement schedule for code enforcement delinquents; a second was recorded and the motion passed by voice vote.

On appointments, staff said Jose’s first partial term was expiring and that he was eligible to serve a full term. A motion to forward Jose’s nomination to the City Council for a full four‑year term passed by voice vote.

Commissioners discussed loss of two restaurants (Volstead Proper and Verona Italian) and noted staff generally do not receive formal notice when a restaurant closes; staff said they will continue tracking delinquent accounts and follow the code enforcement schedule approved by the commission.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 9 2025 - Advertising & Promotion Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Conway City commission heard parks and events updates, was told short‑term rental permitting remains hard to track, approved a standard 30/60/90 enforcement schedule for code delinquents and voted to forward Jose's reappointment to City Council.","taxTitle","Conway City, Faulkner County, Arkansas","taxId",3550,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6196060,"A&P commission reports improved balances, approves May financial statement",379,669000,1048000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858205-dd0f817006fae4bbaffc5d3c5500d59d&start=669&end=1048","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858205-dd0f817006fae4bbaffc5d3c5500d59d/thumbnail_669000.jpg","/articles/6196060/Conway-City/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/AP-commission-reports-improved-balances-approves-May-financial-statement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196060-e906d1229992533ef71a17b36368a1de/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164288&Signature=A9V5WqxUBRwJbc-bPyE7c~GBhqIo7Jm16wN9KOD9fXvmFIgAeuYpO~SbJP~2v74ZIsWIDgyw9R1ncnppW~kYBBDROMPW2ylIegfiRi8jkmFJDDEIqqopSDpvIdfPlpitJPDx4oLkNLsBTWtJOpRKbAMqpVrMMh7~5mbjyhPKD47HnDQTHnLlmibQJjbvU0KPsKbAFUr38NpOj8WgwEU7LKgdIETcTUaQ8rfwLOSA9Anl0hKjIXdeR3Gs03U9IHs2PL9q6yco1l61TzfvaSMR1UxNy5zgzizUIFmCnIPfqTOe5bBiEpqvmj6FJZYogTQVj9pcVUYJ26mBhWtWSOj4gg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A staff presenter reviewed the A&P Commission’s financials and the commission approved the May financial report on a voice vote.

The presenter reported total bank balances of \"$4,274,000.\" For May, the presenter said total revenue was about $628,004.31 and expenses were about $514,000, producing a monthly surplus the presenter called about $89,661. The presenter reported year‑to‑date income and said year‑to‑date profit stood at about $356,000 compared with about $343,000 at the same point last year.

Staff described collections that month and the portion remitted to the city and the A&P commission. The presenter said approximately $497,000 went to the city portion and about $106,000 to the A&P commission in May. The presenter also reported PaySimple (A&P) payments of about $319,003.06 for the month compared with $269,004.67 in the same month last year.

A motion to approve the financials was made and seconded; the chair called for the question and the motion passed on a voice vote. No amendments or follow‑up tasks were recorded during the motion.

Commissioners later moved to discuss the delinquent list (code enforcement and short‑term rental collections were addressed in a later agenda item).","The Conway City A&P Commission reviewed May financials, heard collection figures and approved the month’s financial report; staff reported improved bank balances and revenue increases over past months.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6196066,"Organizers say Conway tournaments brought thousands of visitors; ask city support for future bids",2066,76000,2142000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3858205-dd0f817006fae4bbaffc5d3c5500d59d&start=76&end=2142","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3858205-dd0f817006fae4bbaffc5d3c5500d59d/thumbnail_76000.jpg","/articles/6196066/Conway-City/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Organizers-say-Conway-tournaments-brought-thousands-of-visitors-ask-city-support-for-future-bids","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196066-3c9e9a64fd8c6acc6ea20aeaf4a56be1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164288&Signature=HlT3hHWYiStF3sZjeOScgjsblMN50-gtgoe31SzON2vVr4abWQJ~djo72~pcipk4WHrjMi9RLiFK-p-fLLYKFZLr3fUZ76KNSkR-i17UJ8URulqL4x4BYzlOLQ-o7NqGGyVlUE3h5IeC9WiCFxu1xrCXVSB5TA-11YSkw5WaAWkkAmT1XUvMVWvbMJj1V4--EKQ1Pft1fBWzRA8qFhMCQj~mEPqeOySPpF1BWYxggVnsI8fPUKdSJncCZdNu5J0TXJdXS3YrgMriY0vy-sduccyRlsCncROgTVvzGGVSrlUlE~To5biA4cxbZ7y-GF6IcNj~oD2OYNf4zgZuSXusmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Coach Henson, a coach at Central Baptist College, told the Conway City A&P Commission that hosting an AMC conference tournament brought visitors and local spending to Conway. \"It was definitely, you know, a good deal for Conway for sure,\" Henson said.

An event organizer who supplied a handout told the commission the larger travel tournament used about 16 fields in Conway and drew teams from roughly seven states. \"We have about 6,300 participants,\" the organizer said, explaining that figure was calculated using an industry average of about 38 people per team, which includes players, coaches and accompanying family members. The organizer added the tournament relied on local turf fields at City of Colleges Park, Conway Station and Don Owens and that the tournament brought vendors and visiting businesses into town.

The organizer estimated roughly 300 hotel rooms were used during one college tournament, about 1,800 meals were consumed in Conway, and roughly 400 fans attended per day; the speaker characterized those counts as approximate because teams and families often book lodging independently.

Coach Henson said he plans to bid again and asked the commission for informal support because the AMC requires bids two years in advance. \"If I've got y'all support and y'all think it's good, you know, I definitely would like to try to bid on it,\" he said, adding he would follow up with city staff.

Commission staff also reviewed the larger \"Weekend of Champions\" event and the AAA (event organizer referenced in the meeting) state championships that took place in Conway. Rachel (staff member) and Jamie (staff member) said weather and scheduling over Memorial Day weekend forced some championship games to be played at alternate locations, and that the three‑year contract for hosting the AAA event is in its final year. Rachel said the city and staff are preparing materials and outreach to help the city remain competitive when the bid reopens in January. Jamie noted the weather disruptions reduced gate attendance for some events but did not necessarily eliminate hotel stays and restaurant business: \"We could have record low people through the gate, but still have a ton of folks who had to have a hotel room and who were here all day eating multiple meals,\" Jamie said.

Jamie and Rachel told commissioners the event is not purchasable by price alone and must be earned by delivering the experience; staff said they plan to seek a longer contract in the next bidding round and to develop contingency planning for weather‑affected sports (for example, identifying alternative turf sites within a reasonable drive).

The commission did not take a formal vote on providing financial guarantees for future bids during this meeting. Organizers said they will follow up with staff on formal requests and that bids are due on schedules set by the event organizers (the AMC and AAA).","Coaches and event organizers told the Conway A&P Commission that recent college and travel tournaments drew thousands of participants and spectators to Conway, producing hotel nights and meals; organizers said they will seek city backing to bid for future events.","actionData","errors"]
