Sources & notes
- Sources used: 2026 Adopted Budget Book, Genesee County, NY (80 pp) — budget book PDF; November 24, 2025 Legislature Minutes — minutes PDF; county budget page — County Manager's Office, Budget (geneseeny.gov). Adoption: Monday, November 24, 2025, 5:30 p.m., Legislative Chambers, Old Courthouse, Batavia, NY; Resolution No. 550 (offered by Legislator Clattenburg, seconded by Legislator Dibble), adopted by 174 votes (Stein-26 absent); public hearing November 5, 2025; amendments by Resolution No. 549; Ways and Means recommended adoption; Resolution No. 551 (appropriations for FY2026), same 174 vote, levying $34,303,354. The book's message dated November 26, 2025, from County Manager L. Matthew Landers, repeats the $205,460,943 All Funds figure and the $34,303,354 levy.
- Discrepancy, disclosed (hero notice and here): Discrepancy, disclosed: the book's Adopted 2026 Budget Summary table (p. 18) shows TOTAL appropriations $205,241,853, which is $219,090 BELOW the headline adopted total $205,460,943. The $219,090 gap exactly equals the Capital Project Fund increase in Resolution No. 549 (also shown as a General Fund “Transfer to Capital” of $219,090). The county's headline adopted figure is $205,460,943; the summary-table total must NOT be presented as the final adopted total without this note. Sum check on the summary table itself: $156,426,291 + $14,512,208 + $34,303,354 = $205,241,853, the summary-table total — so the gap sits between the summary table and the headline adopted total, not inside the summary table's own arithmetic.
- Sum checks: $205,460,943 − $190,415,199 = $15,045,744; $34,303,354 − $33,630,739 = $672,615; $155,157,398 − $9,920,062 = $145,237,336 (implied 2025 General Fund appropriations, shown only as an arithmetic check); $205,460,943 − $205,241,853 = $219,090.
- What is not claimed: post-adoption amendments after November 24, 2025 were NOT verified. No audit figure was retrieved, so none is shown. Livability, housing, schools, and neighbor comparison come in New York's standard pass (recovery pattern, not a defect). Meetings: section skipped. No verified official meeting pattern appears in the cited documents, so there is no meetings section on this page — nothing was built from third-party coverage. No hero photo: no verified Genesee County photo was on file for this build, so the page is photo-less rather than carrying a stock or wrong-place image. No widgets beyond table search + CSV: no calculator or tracker widget is built here — no verified widget inputs for those were on file for this unit.
- Jurisdiction identity: Genesee County, New York (county seat Batavia) — not Genesee County, Michigan. Official domain geneseeny.gov; geneseecountyny.gov does NOT resolve and is never cited as a link or source on this page.
- Jurisdiction palette: no verified Genesee County palette was on file, so this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme rather than a jurisdiction color; no palette was invented or sampled for this build.
