The FY2026 report certifies 65,233.05 of unspent and uncommitted settlement funds on hand (p2). That figure is two budget account balances added together. Account 5-01-25-752-180 prints a balance of 62,109.96 as of 05/27/2026. Account 6-01-25-752-180 prints a balance of 3,123.09 as of 08/24/2026, the same balance it has carried since 05/07/2026. Together they make 65,233.05 to the cent. A budget balance is what is left of an appropriation, not what the Borough holds. The reports' own figures give a different answer. Question 3 of the FY2026 report certifies 259,486.45 received since 2022. The four reports certify 121,057.50 spent, 6,600.00, 20,720.12, 41,597.95 and 52,139.43. Question 7 certifies 16,244.65 encumbered. That leaves 122,184.30. The produced ledgers leave 97,098.97, the 259,486.45 received less 146,142.83 paid and the 16,244.65 open order. The two balances leave out the 30,387.40 of receipts not appropriated to any of the four produced accounts, 259,486.45 less appropriations of 229,099.05, and the 1,478.52 left in the 2023 account.
