The FY2026 report, pages 1 and 2, certifies 1,310,000.00 spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 and 0.00 encumbered. Its two program updates, Homeless Services at 790,000.00 and Police/Fire Training and Support at 520,000.00, add to the same figure. In that window the books show six journal entries out of the opioid accounts, posted in seven lines, and no vendor payment. They are 250,000.00 to the Capital Improvement Fund on 08/29/2025, 140,000.00 to the HCS budget and 130,000.00 to the HS budget on 10/28/2025, 260,000.00 to the fire budget on 12/12/2025, and 140,000.00 to the HCS budget and 130,000.00 to the HS budget on 05/26/2026, 1,050,000.00 in all. The certified figure is 260,000.00 higher. Journal entry 105 moved 260,000.00 to the fire budget on 07/16/2026, after the year closed. Of the transfers in the record posted from 07/01/2025 on, the only set that makes 1,310,000.00 is the six window journal entries plus journal entry 105. On 07/30/2026 the City also moved 100,000.00 to the public library budget, the first settlement money sent to the library.
