Disclosure — Bond & Interest: the certificate lists a Bond & Interest fund line but prints no budget-authority or tax figure for it; it contributes nothing to the total below and is shown nowhere as a number rather than guessed.
Disclosure — funds without a tax levy: the funds marked “—” carry budget authority but no 2023 ad valorem tax in the certificate; they are funded from other sources.

Debt & notes
No bonded-debt total is stated on this page: the budget’s statement of indebtedness did not extract legibly enough to quote a total, and its lease-purchase schedule is likewise only partly legible. The budget authority figures above are therefore not net of debt, and no debt figure is guessed here.
