Sources & notes
- Sources used (official only): City Finance Budgets page — cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov/department/finance/budgets (links the package as “2026 Adopted Budget here”); adopted package — 2026 Adopted Budget Package 010926.pdf (64 pp); AgendaCenter — cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov/AgendaCenter. Adoption: Common Council meeting, Thursday, January 8, 2026; resolution offered by Councilor Evans, seconded by Councilor Monette; vote: Councilors Baughn, Evans, Strack, Tallon, Monette, Collin, all in the affirmative; none absent. Tax warrant dated January 8, 2026, signed Wendell Hughes, Mayor, and Sylvia Parrotte, City Clerk. No resolution number appears on pages 1–2 of the signed resolution as read, so none is shown.
- Mandatory disclosures (hero notice and here): Disclosure 1: the resolution’s page 1 appropriations paragraph says “fiscal year 2025,” an apparent carryover typo, while the resolution title and levy paragraphs state fiscal year 2026. Disclosure 2: the page 7 fund table totals $71,014,230, $0.44 above the resolution’s $71,014,229.56 by rounding; the table rows sum exactly to $71,014,230. Disclosure 3: the total levy $18,385,990.52 includes $5,168,161.69 for the City’s certified portion of the Clinton County tax levy; the document’s labeled “City Tax” line is $12,140,700.00 — the remainder after subtracting only the county portion is NOT a city-only levy, because it also includes the school re-levy, omitted taxes, delinquents, and special assessments. Disclosure 4: the separate organizational-meeting minutes file was NOT readable — the AgendaCenter folder points to a Google Drive file that redirected to a Google sign-in chooser (direct download 404); no sign-in was used. Figures here come from the City’s own signed adopted-budget package for the same January 8, 2026 action, not from the minutes file and not from news. Disclosure 5: livability, housing, schools, and neighbors come in New York’s standard pass (recovery pattern, not a defect).
- Sum checks (exact): fund table: $26,852,242 + $557,094 + $333,756 + $4,784,008 + $7,815,452 + $977,046 + $4,000,462 + $25,694,170 = $71,014,230; warrant: $12,140,700.00 + $5,168,161.69 + $901,036.75 + $41,201.87 + $17,717.86 + $376.80 + $13,334.53 + $16,211.32 + $2,239.76 + $71,509.96 + $13,499.98 = $18,385,990.52; City Tax allocation: $10,910,380 + $376,194 + $63,046 + $791,080 = $12,140,700.
- 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 January 8 meeting is not a pattern, so there is no meetings section on this page — and the organizational-meeting minutes file itself was not readable (Google Drive sign-in block, no sign-in used), so nothing is claimed from it. No hero photo: this page is photo-less rather than carrying a stock, generic, 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 Plattsburgh, New York — NOT the Town of Plattsburgh, a different government.
- 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.
