Greetings Chief Klopfenstein:

The stubborn obstruction of our PAST DUE Public Records Request is the main reason

why the following preliminary table remains incomplete as of today (6/12/2020):

http://supremelaw.org/cc/DoCo/2021budget/discrepancy.table.htm

Please turn to Douglas County's FY21 Proposed Budget, Page vii (see link above).

And, please focus on the ENDING FUND BALANCE

in the column headed "Adopted Budget FY 19-20":   $91,416,510

Now please focus on the BEGINNING FUND BALANCE

in the column headed "Proposed Budget FY 20-21":   $124,550,867

Calculate the difference, as follows:

$124,550,867

($91,416,510)

-------------

 $33,134,357.

=============

Because so many responsible Douglas County officials have chosen

to fall completely silent concerning our PAST DUE Public Records Request,

their silence has given us a reason to suspect that more large discrepancies

are likely to be confirmed on all 10 x NOTICE OF BUDGET HEARING that

are now being obstructed by that silence.

Where has all this public money "disappeared", please?

We believe our Public Records Request has motivated those same officials

to focus on the 3 large discrepancies that we have already confirmed,

in the 3 x NOTICE OF BUDGET HEARING that we have been able to obtain

from other sources e.g. The News-Review legal notice staff.

All 3 discrepancies each exceeded $20 Million U.S. Dollars!

And now, the Commissioners have published a Proposed Budget for FY 20-21

in which some $33 Million U.S. Dollars have almost magically re-appeared!

We won't know the "actual" ENDING FUND BALANCE as of June 30, 2020,

until the County's financial books are closed for the current Fiscal Year, and

until a statement of the actual UNAPPROPRIATED ENDING FUND BALANCE

is published, perhaps in the audited CAFR (if not sooner).

As soon as reliable data are available, we intend to update the

above calculation by adding the missing data to our

"PRELIMINARY TABLE OF ACCOUNTING DISCREPANCIES"

(see above).
