One example through the series: a facility repair
C.L.O.C.K. Civic Education | Revised edition | September 27, 2026
Fictional exercise – not an Appling County, Baxley, Graham, Surrency or authority project. City B and County A are invented governments. The invented documents below are supplied facts for the exercise, not real legal sources.
| Record | Invented excerpt or fact |
|---|---|
| F1 – governing rule and property record | City B council may authorize repairs to City B facilities. The facility is owned by City B and lies inside its city limits. |
| F2 – signed project agreement | City B manages the repair and retains its contract, inspection and payment records. County A contributes $40,000 and retains its own approval and transfer records. City B supplies the remaining $80,000 of the revised allocation. |
| F3 – approved minutes and budget amendment | City B council initially allocates $100,000, then approves an additional $20,000. |
| F4 – signed repair contract and ledger | The contract is $115,000. City B has paid $90,000; $25,000 remains contractually committed and unpaid. No other costs or adjustments are assumed. |
| F5 – supplied completion records | No inspection or acceptance record is included. The exercise does not establish whether one exists elsewhere. |
Use these facts only for the worked exercise. They do not establish when a real contract should be paid or whether a real project complies with procurement rules.
