<br />
<br />Total General Fund expenditures for 2023 were $32,690 (7.0 percent) more than the previous year. General
<br />government was lower, related to less legal costs in the current year. Public safety costs were higher, related
<br />to increased outsourced public safety costs. All other increased, mainly due to increases in capital outlay
<br />for street and pond projects and the City’s software expenditures.
