The workbook names commissioners by surname only in its line items (Jones, Campbell, Davis, Borom) and a Mayor Correa in its special-events lines; no full names or roster are given in the document excerpts used, so no roster is shown rather than guessed. Finance Department: 201 N. 2nd St., Palatka, FL 32177; 386-329-0100.
Sources & notes
- Only source used: City of Palatka, FY2025-2026 Final Adopted Budget workbook, via the official Finance page (palatka-fl.gov). Palatka FY2025-2026 Final Budget.
- Sum checks: the eight fund expenditure figures sum exactly to $85,592,320; the General Fund department figures sum exactly to $25,868,803.
- Flags: (1) workbook sheets are headed “TENTATIVE” / “PROPOSED” while the Finance page lists the file as the Final Adopted Budget — the Finance page's designation is followed and the sheet headings are disclosed; (2) revenue grand total $85,592,316 vs expenditure grand total $85,592,320, a $4 difference as printed, neither adjusted; (3) the Public Works–Fleet total ($327,096) is an internal-service line already reflected in the fund figures — adding it would overstate the total by exactly $327,096, so it is excluded and disclosed here.
- Jurisdiction check: document header verified as CITY OF PALATKA, FL.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Florida jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
