All funds summary, FY 2025-26
Both sum-checks on the Fund Summary TOTAL row hold exactly: estimated fund balance plus estimated financing sources equals total available funds, and total available funds minus Draft CAO Recommended expenditures equals the projected balance.
| Fund summary line (TOTAL row) | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated fund balance | $103,878,239 |
| Estimated financing sources (projected revenues) | $139,310,146 |
| Total available funds | $243,188,385 |
| Draft CAO Recommended (projected expenditures) | $156,647,029 |
| Projected balance | $86,541,356 |
General Fund, FY 2025-26
The General Fund operating subtotal (Fund No. 100) balances exactly on the recommended side: estimated fund balance plus estimated financing sources equals total available funds, and the Draft CAO Recommended figure equals total available funds, leaving a projected balance of $0. Department requests of $25,320,589 exceed the recommended figure by $121,251 on these printed lines; that difference is arithmetic on the printed lines, not a claim about any balancing action. Separately, a General Fund contribution of $9,555,730 is earmarked for Public Safety (Fund 130).
| General Fund line | Estimated fund balance | Estimated financing sources | Total available funds | Department requests | Draft CAO Recommended | Projected balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GENERAL OPERATING SUBTOTAL, Fund No. 100 | $2,921,661 | $22,277,677 | $25,199,338 | $25,320,589 | $25,199,338 | $0 |
| General Fund contribution | Amount |
|---|---|
| Public Safety earmark, Fund 130 | $9,555,730 |

Sources & notes
- Adoption record: Board of Supervisors, Legistar File 477-25, “2025/2026 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET HEARING AND ADOPTION”; Status “Passed,” on agenda 9/23/2025, final action 9/23/2025, history “adopted — Pass.” Legistar item ID 7666667.
- Adoption-record qualification: the resolution attachment itself leaves the date and vote lines blank. The September 23, 2025 adoption date on this page is therefore cited to the Legistar record, not to a filled-in resolution form.
- Sum checks (exact, no rounding gap): $103,878,239 + $139,310,146 = $243,188,385; $243,188,385 − $156,647,029 = $86,541,356; General Fund $2,921,661 + $22,277,677 = $25,199,338.
- Basis flags: all figures are the FY2025-26 budget throughout — never the FY2026-27 budget, never Lassen Municipal Utility District figures, and never LAFCO figures, which are different years or different governments. Only the Fund Summary lines are reproduced: no department-level detail beyond these lines is claimed.
- Officials note: supervisors by district, the County Administrative Officer, and the Clerk of the Board are named as in the Legistar record for File 477-25; no officials have been imported 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 Lassen County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
