The FY2024 report certifies 13,008.30 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1). The same page certifies 29,542.61 received since 2022 and the same 29,542.61 as unspent and uncommitted on hand. Committed and uncommitted together come to 42,550.91, which is 13,008.30 more than the Town had received. The settlement account G-02-41-746-2300, on the audit trail for 01/01/2022 to 05/28/2026, prints an adopted budget of 39,552.08 with nothing amended or transferred and Encumber YTD 0.00. Its first purchase order, Tate Law Group 25-00547, was encumbered on 05/01/2025, ten months after the reporting period closed. No order of 13,008.30 appears on the account or in the Town's vendor report for every fund from 01/01/2018 to 09/09/2026. The FY2025 report then carried the figure forward, reporting 11,983.30 on hand, the 13,008.30 less the 1,025.00 spent.
