Schedule 8 difference, explained: Schedule 8 reports “Total General” as $437,773,066, which is $39,500,000 higher than Schedule 7's General function of $398,273,066. The difference is exactly the contingencies line: Schedule 8 folds contingencies into the General total, while Schedule 7 lists contingencies separately. This is a presentation difference between schedules, not an error in either figure.

- Sum checks: governmental funds exact ($2,620,106,608 + $2,044,926,307 + $169,768,756 + $47,068,250 = $4,881,869,921); General Fund walk exact ($89,000,000 + $2,531,106,608 = $2,620,106,608); function subtotal plus contingencies exact ($4,842,369,921 + $39,500,000 = $4,881,869,921).
- What is not claimed: no outstanding-debt total is shown because none was extracted from this budget book; the Debt Service function figure ($47,068,250) is a financing use, not debt outstanding.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Fresno County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
