The FY2025 report answers Yes to funding new programs in the year and lists Salary for Hope One Youth Program as 2025 Fiscal Program 3, funded 11/26/2024, launch date 01/01/2025, 65,000.00 funded and 26,810.88 expended (pp6 to 8). The same block says the program had reached over 10,000 participants since its inception as of 08/26/2025. The FY2026 report says the Hope One for Youth debuted in April of 2024 (p7). The county payroll register shows the youth coordinator paid every two weeks from 01/05/2023, first on grant budget codes G-14-22-774 and G-14-22-788 and, from 08/17/2023 to 08/27/2026, on the county grant suspense code G-14-99-999-99-332-20001. The settlement account G-15-22-042-00-275-00011 does not carry that payroll. It repays it. Purchase order 25-02403, check 201633 on 04/21/2025, repays the pay periods of 01/02/2025 to 03/27/2025 to the county's state fund, one line per payroll. The launch date the report gives is the start of those repayments, not the start of the program. The 26,810.88 certified is eleven repayments and a 26.00 nameplate order, to the cent.
