- Source used: Haines Borough, FY27 Adopted Budget (Ordinance 26-04-742) Read the source document; June 9, 2026 Assembly packet (Agenda Bill 26-1588, item 7B) packet; June 9, 2026 approved minutes minutes; ordinances index index.
- Adoption: Ordinance 26-04-742, adopted June 9, 2026 (motion to adopt as amended carried 5-1, Smith opposed); effective July 1, 2026 per Ordinance Section 5. The adopted-budget cover states “Adopted June 9, 2026.”
- Not the adoption: Ordinance 26-08-758 (FY27 Budget Amendments, adopted September 8, 2026) is a later amendment, not the adoption; no figure from it appears on this page.
- Sum checks: TOTALS REVENUES $42,876,025 − TOTALS EXPENDITURES $45,627,553 = $(2,751,528), matching the budget’s “revenue over (under) cash expenditures” line; areawide 5.65 + debt service 0.09 = Borough levy 5.74 mills.
- Identity: this is Haines Borough, Alaska. It is not the City and Borough of Juneau.
- Not yet on this page: livability, housing prices, and schools sections, and a neighbor comparison. No Alaska livability, housing, schools, or neighbor peer datasets exist on file, so no figures for those sections are shown here and no neighbor figures are hand-filled; they come in Alaska's standard pass.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified rendered homepage palette was on file for this jurisdiction, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
