- Scope disclosures: these are audited actuals, not budgeted figures. Wrangell Public Schools statements inside the audit are a discretely presented component unit, not the borough basis, and are not inside the governmental-fund totals above. Enterprise funds are reported separately and are not in these totals.
- Identity: this is the City and Borough of Wrangell, Alaska, a unified single unit. There is no separate seat government and no seat file.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified palette was on file for this jurisdiction — no government-specific theme color or seal palette could be confirmed from the official site through the routes available in this pass (several Alaska government sites use platform templates whose stock palettes are rejected under the family spec) — so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than an invented color.
- Photo: none. No freely-licensed photo with a confirmed license name and photographer could be verified and normalized for this jurisdiction in this pass, so this page ships without a hero photo rather than with a substitute image.
