Sources & notes
- Only source used: Franklin County Legislature, November 20, 2025 resolutions packet — Resolution No. 319 (adoption of the 2026 budget, as amended by Resolution No. 317) and Resolution No. 318 (appropriation resolution under County Law §360). November 20, 2025 resolutions packet.
- Correction to the inventory record: the queue text cited the adoption as Resolution No. 307; in the packet itself, Resolution No. 307 is an employee-recognition resolution and the budget adoption is Resolution No. 319. This page follows the packet.
- Jurisdiction check: the packet’s town list (including Malone and Tupper Lake) confirms Franklin County, New York. A separate “Franklin Budget 2026” file for the Town of Franklin was rejected — it is a different government, not the county.
- Sum checks: fund appropriations exact ($142,211,063). Funding-side items as printed do NOT sum to the appropriation total ($142,783,263 vs $142,211,063, a $572,200 gap) — disclosed above and in the basis notice, never silently resolved.
- Hero photo: none — no freely-licensed photo of Franklin County (Malone), New York, with a verified photographer and license was confirmed, so no substitute image is used.
- Jurisdiction palette: No verified New York jurisdiction palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color.
