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

Recreation repairs have specific supporting context in the finance memorandum.

2023-2024 actual source · page 56 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 57

The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $22,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0802-5144), changing its budget from $24,000 to $46,000. 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.

The finance memo attributes recreation repair increases to the splash pad and Eco Park pavilion. The attached schedule increases Parks Maintenance building-and-grounds repairs by $53,000. That supports a repair-project explanation but does not reconcile the entire grouped Repairs and Maintenance change. Finance memorandum — May 7, 2025 · page 118.

The attached schedule shows the relevant proposed budget adjustments. Amounts in this schedule are appropriations, not invoice payments. Budget amendment detail · page 120.

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. Its printed total is 655,066, compared with 655,067 in the older report. FY2024-2025 printed total minus extracted source rows is +4; source amounts retained. FY2024-25 Personnel rows sum to $360,989 versus printed subtotal $360,990; Operations rows sum to $433,160 versus printed subtotal $433,163, explaining the retained $4 difference. Account 01-0802-5246 is printed Gasoline & Diesel, but its utility account position and the exact FY2022-23 Utilities overlap ($38,439) support its Utilities reporting placement. Preserve that label and keep 01-0802-5512 vehicle fuel separate. Account 01-0802-5150 has blank FY2023-24 actual in the selected FY2025-26 source, retained as empty string; the following book prints a dash for that overlap year. FY2022-23 detailed overlap differences (later minus earlier): Fica -1; Retirement +1; Downtown Beautification -1.

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.
