Unofficial register compiled from the ordinances, resolutions, minutes, certifications and urban renewal reports in this archive. Every figure is as printed, with its page. Payments are the ones the archive shows (state reports from FY2021, claims lists and payables lists); a year or payment the archive does not hold is missing, so totals here are a lower bound. The City of Tiffin's records govern.
