Primary-government walk: beginning unencumbered cash $13,095,483, less cancelled encumbrances $27,548, plus receipts $37,344,565, less expenditures $41,987,127 = ending unencumbered cash $8,425,373; plus encumbrances and accounts payable $2,746,161 = ending cash $11,171,534. Each fund row below re-adds exactly (beginning + receipts − expenditures = ending unencumbered).

Disclosure — over budget: the County Health Fund spent $2,278,383 against a $1,812,764 budget, $465,619 over budget, in Schedule 1. Disclosure — printed total does not re-add: the statement’s printed total-reporting-entity line ($8,838,435 unencumbered, $11,603,722 cash) does not re-add from its printed components by $27,548 — the Community Corrections cancelled-encumbrance amount appears in both the primary and related-entity subtotals. This page therefore headlines the primary-government subtotal, which re-adds exactly; related municipal entities (four fire districts and four sewer districts) are excluded from that headline.
