Sources & notes
- Only source used: City of Concordia adopted budget 2026 (city site). Read the budget (PDF).
- Sum checks: the eleven fund authorities sum to $11,440,301; the General Fund build ($5,579,881 + $837,000 + $345,235) equals $6,762,116; the five levy funds' ad valorem amounts sum to $1,843,808; the Debt Service principal and interest splits sum to $405,000 and $128,926. All were verified by addition before publishing.
- Scope limit disclosed: the budget's certificate/summary page was not legible in text extraction, so the $11,440,301 total is the sum of the individual fund pages, not a city-printed certificate total. The allocation page's $1,741,700 total reflects a prior-year levy basis and is reported here only to prevent mixing it with the 2026 levy figures.
- City palette: no verified City of Concordia palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a city color.
