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 54 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 55

The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $14,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0801-5144), changing its budget from $16,000 to $30,000. 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.

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.

  • The 2022-2023 column uses the complete later FY2025-26 account schedule; the older source column is archived.
  • All columns are actual expenditures from the identified annual budget page, not estimates or appropriations. Source zeros, negative values, account descriptions and printed dashes are retained.
  • Reporting group comparisons do not establish unchanged operational scope.

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.
