<br />As the graph displays, the increase in expenditures was spread across all categories as anticipated in the
<br />budget. Natural inflationary increases and the continued growth in development in the City contributed to
<br />the overall increase in expenditures. An increase in capital spending as planned in the budget contributed
<br />to the increase in the "Other" category presented above.
