The FY2026 report certifies 52,139.43 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 (p1). That is the sum of its three program figures, Autoloader for new ambulance 34,044.07, K9 program 11,445.35 and the Education/Communication update 6,650.01 (pp5, 7 and 9). The two settlement accounts paid 77,224.76 in the same period. The difference, 25,085.33, has two parts. The Education/Communication figure is the March and April 2026 Town Criers, 3,077.51 and 3,572.50. It leaves out three Town Criers paid from account 5-01-25-752-180 in the period, check 52712 for 2,428.76 on 08/04/2025, check 52945 for 2,891.42 on 10/06/2025 and check 53184 for 3,520.50 on 12/01/2025, 8,840.68 in all. The September and November 2025 issues, 6,411.92, appear in no report. The K9 figure, 11,445.35, is the 27,690.00 paid for the dog and kennels on 04/07/2026 less purchase order 26-00873 for 16,244.65, an order to outfit cars for the K9 unit that was still open and unpaid on 08/24/2026. Money already paid cannot be reduced by an order not yet paid. The certified total is 25,085.33 below what the accounts paid.
