- Sum checks: revenues sum exactly to $391,604,090; expenditures by object and by function each sum exactly to $415,450,064; $415,450,064 − $391,604,090 = $23,845,974 implied fund-balance use, consistent with the brief's "approximately $24 million."
- Disclosed, not smoothed: the in-brief's tables label the 25/26 column "Proposed," while the column total equals the adopted $415,450,064 stated in the brief's text and in the inventory record — this page uses the adopted total and labels the column as printed.
- Fiscal-year label: FY 2025-26 (July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026); adopted June 24, 2025.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Nevada County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a county color.
