The FY2024 report certifies 15,167.65 appropriated or encumbered but not yet spent between 07/01/2023 and 06/30/2024 (p1). Account 4-01-40-340-201 opened with 16,811.31. Eight payments on 05/22/2024 and 06/19/2024, 1,643.66 in all, took its running balance to 15,167.65, the certified figure to the cent. Every order on the account to that date was paid by 06/19/2024. The next order was not encumbered until 10/15/2024. No order was open on 06/30/2024. The 15,167.65 is the unspent balance of the appropriation, with no purchase order behind it. The same report lists 44,938.51 unspent on hand (p1). The two figures together are 60,106.16, more than the 42,029.83 the report says the Borough had received since 2022.
