# Resident questions how the county calculated a $102 million savings figure

## What happened
Repeat public commenter Debbie Constantine asked the oversight board how officials arrived at $102 million in reported savings when this year's total budget is $180 million. [t=275] The chair (unnamed on the record) replied that the $102 million was a 10-year cumulative savings figure rather than a single year's number, and said the board would look into the discrepancy and get back to her. [t=313]

## The outcome
No board action was taken; the chair said the board would research the figures and follow up with Constantine directly.
