Oversight board pays a $2,269.50 legal bill and reports an $87,135 balance
How we attribute this: speaker_22 → Heather LaBella — the chair addresses her by first name immediately before she gives the treasurer's report ("Heather you want to give a real quick treasurer's report" [t=157]); the surname is a cross-meeting match to the board's self-described accountant in the 2026-08-12 roster for this same body. Graded probable on this meeting's speaker roster.
