Sources & notes
- Sources used (official only): City home — oswegony.gov; Aug 24, 2026 overview — CivicClerk event 1166 overview; Aug 24 agenda — CivicClerk event 1166 agenda; Sept 14, 2026 overview — CivicClerk event 1179 overview; adopted book — Adopted 2027 City of Oswego Budget.pdf (33 pp). Adoption: Common Council meeting, Monday Aug 24, 2026, 7:30 PM EDT, Common Council Chambers, 13 W. Oneida St, Oswego, NY 13126; agenda posted Aug 21, 2026, 5:01 PM; Resolution No. 277, as amended (“AS AMENDED - Approve Amended 2027 City Operating Budget (+ Tax Warrant)”).
- Mandatory disclosures (hero notice and here): Disclosure 1: the mayoral announcement figure $66,707,928 is NOT used — the official adopted book states $66,706,928, $1,000 less; this page uses the book. Disclosure 2: the reported 6-1 vote is UNVERIFIED — no minutes file is posted for the Aug 24 meeting in CivicClerk or Documents-On-Demand as of this check, and the Sept 14 agenda’s minute-approval item does not attach the minutes. No vote count is presented as confirmed on this page. Disclosure 3: the four amendment motion titles only are known — Mayor’s Administrative Assistant; Director of Information Technology’s Salary; Information Technology Department Training; Adjust Sewer Enterprise Fund — amounts and text unverified. Disclosure 4: the Sewer Enterprise Fund appears in the book but is NOT a column in the operating-budget summary — it is not folded into the summary total. Disclosure 5: book detail pages carry a “2027 Budget Request” column header, but the file is labeled Adopted and was created the day after adoption. Disclosure 6: no audit figure retrieved; livability, housing, schools, and neighbors come in New York’s standard pass (recovery pattern, not a defect).
- Sum checks (exact): $55,683,411 + $11,023,517 = $66,706,928; $53,027,108 + $13,679,820 = $66,706,928; $39,933,042 + $9,304,667 = $49,237,709 (General Fund); $4,644,567 + $1,718,850 = $6,363,417 (Water); $9,304,667 + $1,718,850 + $690,000 + $1,142,285 = $12,855,802 (interfund transfers total).
- What is not claimed: 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: the single Aug 24 meeting is not a pattern, so there is no meetings section on this page — nothing was built from third-party coverage. No hero photo: this 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: City of Oswego, New York — NOT Oswego County, NOT the school district, NOT Oswego, Oregon.
- Jurisdiction palette: neutral theme by brief order — no jurisdiction palette was applied and none was invented or sampled for this build; this page uses the neutral Hometown Numbers dark-glass theme.
