Sources & notes
- Only source used: City of Hanford Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 (city DocumentCenter PDF). ACFR FY 2025. The biennial budget context (Resolution 25-29-R, adopted June 3, 2025, 5–0) is confirmed in the ACFR's MD&A, which states the biennial budget was balanced under that resolution.
- Sum checks: revenues exact ($60,138,376); expenditures exact ($64,589,779); fund-balance walk exact (−$4,451,403 + $5,492,575 = $1,041,172; $12,942,192 + $1,041,172 = $13,983,364); unassigned share verified (13,596,699 ÷ 64,589,779 = 21.05%, stated as ~21.1%).
- What is not claimed: no explanation for the Miscellaneous revenue spike; no government-wide audited debt total; the MD&A's “$908,363 million” is read as $908,363 (apparent typo).
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified City of Hanford palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a city color.
