About these figuresWhat is included and what changed between reports.

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.

Sources and methodsOriginal documents, coverage, and how the years were matched.

Download separately reported historical expenditures as CSV · Each record distinguishes detail rows from totals and includes its source.

Section reconciliation and differences
  • Operations: No comparable earlier-format overlap established. Historical-only City Attorney division: the later 01-0104-5260 Legal Services account is included in City Council. Later amounts are deliberately shown there once, rather than duplicated as an additional department. This section preserves the formerly separate division.
How the years were matched
  • Four actual years available as a separately reported division (2019-2020 through 2022-2023). For 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, see City Council; absence here is not zero.
  • Both original source table images visually checked. FY2022-23 physical PDF24 (printed22), FY2024-25 physical PDF23 (printed21). All four printed totals reconcile exactly.

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.
