Departmental Expenditure Summary: At this point the City is 4 months or 33.33% through the budget year. It is important to remember that expenditures do not occur equally throughout the year. For example, capitat expenditures and association memberships are one time expenditures that if made early in the fiscal year can produce a distorted expenditure percentage. In this year's budget both stability pay and the Council authorized lump sum payment were made in November and are reflected in the departmental budgets. Within the General and Water & Sewer Funds there are 11 departments whose expenditures are over 33.33% at this time. 1. City Manager-35.43%.
