What the records showRelated decisions, supporting records, and unanswered questions.

Retirement spending has documented budget context: the city provided for an additional contribution to its defined-benefit pension plan in FY2024–25. This is separate from changes in employee pay or staffing.

2023-2024 actual source · page 32 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 33

The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $14,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0501-5144), changing its budget from $15,000 to $29,000. This is its share of the $629,000 General Fund retirement increase, not a separately verified actual payment. Department pension amendment allocation · page 119.

The audited FY2025 discussion identifies the $629,000 retirement budget increase as an additional defined-benefit pension contribution. Audited pension amendment context · page 24.

Still unanswered: The budget allocation is documented; the actual pension postings are still needed to reconcile the annual retirement amounts and distinguish regular contributions from the additional contribution.

About these figuresWhat is included and what changed between reports.

The 2022-2023 column uses the complete later FY2025-26 account schedule; the older source column is archived. Administration division 501 only; department-wide totals are excluded. FY2022-23 Office Supplies is 689 older versus 653 later; the new Other Operating Supplies row is 36. Office Supplies and Other Operating Supplies are grouped under Office Supplies, preserving original detail. Salary and Telephone overlap each differ by 1 in opposite directions.

Amounts are shown as reported, without adjusting for inflation. A dash (“—”) means the source shows a dash or does not list a value; it does not necessarily mean zero. Related accounts are grouped for comparison, with available detail under each row.

How the years were matched
  • The 2022-2023 column uses the complete later FY2025-26 account schedule; the older source column is archived.
  • Administration division 501 only; department-wide totals are excluded. FY2022-23 Office Supplies is 689 older versus 653 later; the new Other Operating Supplies row is 36. Office Supplies and Other Operating Supplies are grouped under Office Supplies, preserving original detail. Salary and Telephone overlap each differ by 1 in opposite directions.
  • Physical PDF pages: FY2022-23 33; FY2024-25 32; FY2025-26 32; FY2026-27 33. All displayed columns are actual years, not estimates or budgets.
  • Source zeros and dashes remain distinct. Subtotals are excluded. Missing historical categories remain absent; mapping confirmation does not establish unchanged operational scope.
  • FY2022-23 mapped overlap differences (older to later): Salaries: 128800 → 128801; Telephone: 475 → 474; Office Supplies: 689 → 653. These are not adjusted away.
  • FY2023-24 repeated-source comparison: 01-0501-6090: absent → —. Totals: 195,401 → 195,401. Absent rows are not assumed zero.

These changes do not establish changes in service quality or explain why spending changed. Budget amendments and meeting decisions have not been reconciled with this series.
