Zero in these aggregate schedules means no reported activity in that category, not proof that a missing detailed account is zero.

What the revenue records show

FY2023 to FY2024: Of the $5,520,534 revenue increase, $2,421,000 is a reporting change: City funding previously shown as a transfer appears within revenue in FY2024. It is not all new income. State funds rose $2,302,333, property taxes $485,850, and County revenue $226,842; other categories supply the remainder. The audit describes increased funding and electric buses, but does not allocate the entire change to individual programs. FY2023 also sent $500,000 to School Construction, leaving $1,921,000 in net transfers; that net amount is not the gross City contribution. FY2023 source FY2024 source FY2024 source

FY2024 to FY2025: Revenue increased by $1,592,639. Miscellaneous and other local taxes rose while property taxes declined. The separate $1,214,893 opening-balance correction is not revenue. FY2024 source FY2025 source
