General Fund and non-General Fund, FY 2026-27
The General Fund total is printed in the resolution’s fund list and in the “Budget Summary Report General Fund FY27” TOTAL row. The non-General Fund total is printed in the “Budget Summary Report NON GF FY27” TOTAL row itself — it is a printed figure, not merely the total minus the General Fund. The two fund totals sum exactly to the printed total budget.

Sources & notes
- Adoption record: Board of Supervisors meeting, September 22, 2026, agenda item 18; Resolution No. 2026-026; meeting action summary records the motion by Supervisor Starkey, second by Supervisor Short, Yes: Short, Starkey, Howard, Borges, Wilson, No: None (5-0). CivicClerk agenda portal, September 22, 2026 meeting, item 18.
- Adoption-record qualification: the resolution attachment itself leaves the adoption day and vote lines blank. The September 22, 2026 date and the 5-0 vote on this page are therefore cited to the meeting action summary, not to a filled-in resolution form.
- Sum checks (exact, no rounding gap): appropriation components $56,849,233 + $53,120,325 + $78,928,134 + $45,832,552 + $47,437,743 + $1,622,339 = $283,790,326; fund groups $53,614,829 + $230,175,497 = $283,790,326.
- Basis flags: all figures are the FY2026-27 ADOPTED budget throughout. Only the resolution and summary lines are reproduced: no department-level detail beyond these lines is claimed, and no revenue breakdown is claimed.
- Officials note: supervisors and the Clerk of the Board are named as in the September 22, 2026 meeting record; District 3 is shown for Supervisor Howard only, as recorded, and no other districts have been added from any other source.
- Photo note: no hero photo — photos are a separate pass and this page ships without one rather than with a substitute.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Del Norte County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
