OAKLAND — The city’s bill for the Golden State Warriors title parade has been reduced by about $29,000, or the approximate cost of one Steph Curry jumper.

The team promised to pay for the parade earlier this year but questioned why the city’s bill for the event was more than three times higher than the original estimate.

The city’s finance department has since reduced the equipment charges to reflect three days — the day before, day of and day after the parade and rally — that accounted for the discount on a revised invoice sent to the team.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf previously said police and fire labor costs would also be reduced to account for employees who were scheduled to work a regular shift on June 15 — parade or no parade — but those stayed the same.

Karen Boyd, a spokeswoman with the City Administrator’s Office, said the labor costs had already been adjusted by about $25,000 in the first invoice sent to the Warriors in July. With the latest reduction in equipment costs, the final bill for the Warriors’ 2017 title festivities came to almost $787,000.

The team has said it agreed to “split” those costs with Oakland, but even that has been a bone of contention between the two sides.

In total, the final invoice asks for $1.03 million from the NBA’s best team. Boyd said city officials met with the Warriors and gave them the new invoice on Sept. 14.

“The City has submitted the invoice and is awaiting payment,” she said.

A Warriors spokesman said the team received the new bill and would be discussing it.

“At this point, we have not had a chance to meet and discuss the most recent invoice internally,” spokesman Raymond Ridder said. “We hope to have the opportunity to do so at some point this week.”

Earlier this month, a behind-the-scenes disagreement between the team and Oakland City Hall became public after an invoice was released showing the city in July had asked the Warriors to pay for both parades but that no payment had been made. At the time, the Warriors and city said the two sides were still hashing out a final tab, with the team scratching its head over how an initial pre-parade estimate rose from $300,000 to nearly $800,000.

City officials said those costs rose in response to terrorist attacks around the world, and increased parade attendance.

City officials have repeatedly said they believe the Warriors will honor their pledge. However, even with the latest reductions, the grand total did not drop much from the amount the team had questioned two months ago.

The 2015 parade reimbursement may also become an issue as the two sides have divergent recollections.

“We agreed to share the costs of the parade in 2015 and lived up to that agreement and more,” Ridder said earlier this month.

However, Boyd said the city does “not have any record of other payments made to the city by the Warriors for 2015 parade-related expenses.” She added that the $244,000 request is lower than the actual costs, because they only reflect staffing for police and public works, not fire.

The bill for the 2017 costs only became an issue because at the June rally team owner Joe Lacob made a point to tell adoring fans that he’d pick up the entire tab for the parade.
