- What is not claimed: no department, fund, revenue-source, or debt breakdown is shown, because only the summary comparison table was text-extracted; the exact council vote date is not stated because sources differ by one day; no outstanding-debt total is shown from this document.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified San Jose palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a city color.
