The FY2025 report certifies Street Lighting Inventory at 148,000.00 expended (p3). The FY2026 report updates the same program at 26,142.50 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p4) and certifies the same 26,142.50 at Q6 (p1). It says the money paid outstanding invoices for the existing program. Together the two reports certify 174,142.50. Purchase order 24-05983 is 150,000.00, and the account paid it in full by 09/19/2025. The FY2026 figure ties. Checks 148318 for 9,480.00 on 08/01/2025, 148395 for 15,130.00 on 08/08/2025 and 148772 for 1,532.50 on 09/19/2025 make it to the cent. The FY2025 figure had already counted 24,142.50 of that tail as spent, so 24,142.50 is certified twice.
