Funds
Each fund row below re-adds exactly (beginning + cancelled encumbrances + receipts − expenditures = ending unencumbered). These are selected funds from Schedule 2, not the county total.
| Fund | Receipts | Expenditures | Ending unencumbered |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | $2,665,086 | $2,412,072 | $939,427 |
| Road and Bridge | $1,554,089 | $1,382,914 | $416,468 |
| Special Bridge | $172,380 | $49,671 | $717,807 |
| Good Samaritan | $403,393 | $442,889 | $250,622 |
| Hospital Maintenance | $669,118 | $669,118 | $0 |
General Fund walk: $686,280 + $133 + $2,665,086 − $2,412,072 = $939,427. Road and Bridge walk: $245,293 + $1,554,089 − $1,382,914 = $416,468. Special Bridge walk: $595,098 + $172,380 − $49,671 = $717,807. Good Samaritan walk: $290,118 + $403,393 − $442,889 = $250,622. Hospital Maintenance took in and appropriated the same $669,118 and closed at $0. Disclosure — scope gap: no county-wide total and no long-term debt total are stated on this page, because the summary-statement and debt-note tables did not extract legibly; the absence of a debt figure here is not evidence the County has no debt.

Debt & notes
No long-term debt total is stated on this page for the reason given in the Funds section: the debt-note table did not extract legibly from the state filing, and this page does not guess at it. Cash balances on this page are therefore not net of debt.
