<br />As the graph displays, the increase in expenditures was spread across most 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. A slight decrease in capital spending accounted for the change in the
<br />"other" category presented above.
