All funds — revenues and activities, FY 2025-26
Revenue lines sum exactly to $91,615,362. Activity lines sum to $97,368,210, $1 below the stated $97,368,211 total — a rounding difference, disclosed here. The budget message states expenditures exceed revenues by approximately $6.02 million and the gap will be closed through reserves; the summary tables' own totals differ by $5,752,849 ($97,368,211 − $91,615,362), so the message figure appears to reflect a different scope and is quoted as the message's wording, not as a computed total.

- Sum checks: all-funds revenues exact ($91,615,362); all-funds activities lines sum $97,368,210 vs stated $97,368,211 ($1 rounding difference, disclosed); General Fund walk exact (excess $184,000; net change −$1,115,000); contingency components exact ($188,000); enterprise totals exact; capital program exact ($15,180,000).
- What is not claimed: no council vote count (not found in the document); the General Fund beginning balance is the reconciled figure described in the basis note; the message's “approximately $6.02 million” gap wording is quoted, not computed, because the summary totals differ by $5,752,849.
