Withdrawn on 2026-10-03. The finding measured the unspent figures against the received figures the County certified, and those are short. The settlement reserve 2149623 took in 1,099,864.61 of deposits from 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025, against the 436,698.00 the FY2025 report certifies (p1). That is a separate finding. Question 9 asks what the County has on hand and gives no date. The FY2024 spending figure is the 09/30/2024 balance of the grant reserve, so that report was prepared after 09/30/2024. By 10/10/2024 the reserve had taken in 3,666,113.49 with interest (funds received pp1 to 2) and the settlement lines had paid out 389,330.77 (funds disbursed pp1 to 3), leaving 3,276,782.72. That is more than the 3,206,420.97 certified. The FY2025 report was last updated 08/27/2025 (p5). By then the reserve had taken in 4,729,605.65 (funds received pp1 to 3) and 709,583.88 had been paid out (funds disbursed pp1 to 5), leaving 4,020,021.77. That is more than the 3,477,720.73 certified. Neither unspent figure is shown to exceed what the County held when it reported.

The FY2024 report says the County has received 2,842,622.21 since distributions began in 2022, and that it holds 3,206,420.97 unspent, 363,798.76 more than it ever received. The FY2025 report says the County has received 3,384,737.25 including interest, and that it holds 3,477,720.73 unspent, 92,983.48 more than it ever received. Both reports also certify spending in the same years, which would leave less on hand, not more. No balance, deposit total or certified figure in the produced record accounts for either unspent figure.
