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 38 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 39
The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $30,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0201-5144), changing its budget from $33,000 to $63,000. 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. Finance division 201 only, excluding the separately printed Purchasing division and later Finance Department rollup. Retirement combines Retirement and 401A; Travel combines Travel Expenses and Employee Auto Allowance. Computer Supplies is grouped under Office Supplies: FY2022-23 Office Supplies 3,150 older versus 2,676 later differs by 474, the later Computer Supplies amount, without proving older composition. Surety Bonds is grouped under Liability Insurance: older Liability Insurance 4,009 versus later 3,659 differs by 350, the later Surety Bonds amount. Printed detail differs from total in 2024-2025 (+2).
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.
