Sources: FY27 Vol. I v3 Appendix A (FY25 actual, FY26 adopted, FY27); Auditor Monthly Financial Report June 30, 2026 pp. 58-59 (adjusted budget, expenditures, encumbrances). The Auditor's adjusted budgets include the commissioners' 75% rollover and mid-year transfers, so they exceed the adopted amounts for those offices and for General Administration (which also holds the $256M working capital).
