2 · What it shows
1
The district puts FY2024 mowing at $18,700, from fund 1306; that fund’s journal has no mowing bill.
What it means: The stated source of the mowing money and the ledger do not line up for that year.
2
The fund’s one FY2024 grounds bill, $19,400, equals the district’s summer repair figure.
What it means: That figure matches the books; the mowing figure does not appear in this fund for that year.
3
It puts all fields and grounds work at about $126,000 for FY2024, vehicles included.
What it means: The fund paid out far less than that in all of FY2024, so most of it came from elsewhere.
