Confidence & sourcing
High — explicit dollar figures quoted directly from the posted agenda (Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 9; the $250K threshold in Item 8).
Moderate — Item 8's $250K is a proposed contract-authority cap, not a committed spend; Byrne JAG net amounts depend on the 10% admin deduction holding.
Low / Unknown — Items 6 (ambulance fee yield) and 10 (5-year street/CIP plan) list "See report" with no figure on the agenda face; amounts live in the linked staff PDFs.
Item 1's appropriations figures are the full-budget gross/net totals, not new spending introduced on July 7.
