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 63 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 64
The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $19,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0601-5144), changing its budget from $21,000 to $40,000. 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.
Police Administration (0601) only, not the entire Police Department. Accounting categories do not establish unchanged responsibilities or staffing.
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.

- Each column is an ACTUAL fiscal-year column from a later annual budget; source labels, zeros and dashes are preserved. Subtotals are excluded to avoid double counting.
- FY2022-23 PDF36 supplies 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 actuals; FY2024-25 PDF35 supplies 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 actuals.
- FY2025-26 PDF63-64 supplies 2023-2024 actuals; FY2026-27 PDF64-65 supplies 2024-2025 actuals. Later Administration is department 601, prefix 01-0601.
