Scope & interpretation notes

Secondary 2026 award/funding reports have different figures; not merged into primary verified fields. OTF search URL /grants-awarded/731 resolved to another grantee when opened, so grant is sourced to municipal report instead.

Make sense of the money

Your taxes called. They’d like a receipt.

Budget: Planned costs for a stated year or project.
Annual allocation: Funding assigned for one year. It may be part of a larger project.
Lifetime project budget: The stated budget for the full project across its years.
Forecast: An estimate of the eventual cost, as of the date shown.
Tax requirement (levy): The amount to raise from property taxes, after other funding.
Contract award: The accepted contract price, with its stated tax and scope.
Recorded costs or payments: Amounts reported for the period shown. They do not establish project completion.

Why are there different County totals?

The detailed 2026 budget lists $279,035,275 in operating expenses and $127,855,640 in financed capital: $406,890,915 combined. The $103,039,171 property-tax requirement is a different measure, after other funding.

The budget hub retains an earlier $406.1 million headline. Spending explanations here use the detailed approved schedule.
