Aug 20, 2026

Staff flagged several calculation and spreadsheet issues: a retirement calculation failed to carry into the budget (page 118), a minor salary discrepancy of under $10 on page 70, and a missing $1,500 part-time entry for the district clerk on page 119.

Staff also flagged a minor salary discrepancy on page 70 that would cost less than $10 to fix.
