What the records showRelated decisions, supporting records, and unanswered questions.
From FY2023–24 to FY2024–25, Contracted Services increased from $48,639 to $117,069, while Fixed Assets increased from $9,348 to $81,829. These are confirmed spending changes; their specific causes remain unresolved.

The source schedule reports the contract amounts under Other Contracts and the asset amounts under Fixed Assets. The schedule identifies the accounts but does not list the underlying purchases or vendors. Traffic Control actual expenditure schedule · page 88.
The later FY2026–27 budget describes contracts for interchange lighting, signal maintenance, line-marking materials and fiber repairs, and planned assets for signal controllers and network switches. These descriptions explain the types of work covered, but concern a later budget and do not establish what caused the FY2024–25 increase. Later budget priorities — context only · page 87.
The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $7,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0902-5144), changing its budget from $8,000 to $15,000. 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: FY2024–25 purchase orders, invoices and contract amendments are needed to identify the projects and vendors behind these increases. Later planned purchases should not be substituted for those records.
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. FY2022-23 detailed overlap differences (later minus earlier): Workers Compensation Insurance +1; Other Operating Supplies -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.
