What's not yet public
- The proposed FY 2026‑2027 budget does not yet indicate the final tax rates, revenue estimates, or approved expenditures, because it has not been adopted.2
- The audited FY 2024 financial report does not break out revenue sources or detailed expense categories, so those specifics are not available in the record.1
