About these figuresWhat is included and what changed between reports.

General Fund Outside Agencies appropriations only. This is an agency schedule, not a General Fund operating division; revenues and unrelated transfers are excluded.

Actual expenditure detail is available for 2022-2023 through 2024-2025. The FY2022-23 and FY2024-25 books do not provide 2019-2020 through 2021-2022 actual detail for this later standalone agency schedule.

Amounts are shown as reported, without adjusting for inflation. A dash (“—”) means the source shows a dash or does not list a value; it does not necessarily mean zero. Related accounts are grouped for comparison, with available detail under each row.

Sources and methodsOriginal documents, coverage, and how the years were matched.

Section reconciliation and differences
  • Agency Appropriations: No comparable earlier-format overlap established. Source-backed expenditure grouping; revenues and incoming financing sources are excluded.
How the years were matched
  • All retained columns are explicitly labeled ACTUAL in the original annual budgets. Numeric zero and printed dash are preserved distinctly; subtotal rows are excluded to avoid double counting.
  • FY2025-26 supplies ACTUAL 2022-2023 and ACTUAL 2023-2024; FY2026-27 supplies ACTUAL 2024-2025. Every source PDF was hash-verified and every cited expenditure page was rendered for visual review.
  • Actual expenditure detail is available for 2022-2023 through 2024-2025. The FY2022-23 and FY2024-25 books do not provide 2019-2020 through 2021-2022 actual detail for this later standalone agency schedule.
  • The FY2025-26 source truncates the account suffix for McMinn County Education Foundation and McMinn County Historical Society. Their unique repeated descriptions in the FY2026-27 source supply full IDs 01-0105-5835 and 01-0105-5840; the earlier actual values remain those printed in FY2025-26.

These changes do not establish changes in service quality or explain why spending changed. Budget amendments and meeting decisions have not been reconciled with this series.
