<br /> Budget Actual
<br />
<br />Total General Fund expenditures for 2021 were $4,967,284, which was $245,696 (4.7 percent) under the
<br />final budget. As presented in the budgetary comparison schedule (within the City’s ACFR), expenditure
<br />variances were both favorable and unfavorable within the various functions and departments, while
<br />overall, they remained within total appropriations approved by the City Council. The functions for general
<br />government, public works, and parks and recreation, were under budget, largely in personal services and
<br />other services and charges. The public safety function was $251,927 over budget, mainly in other services
<br />and charges for protective inspections with elevated activity in the current year and the need to outsource
<br />these services, due to difficulty in filling open positions.
