<br /> prior year, and were $216,945 (or 1.5 percent) under the final budget. Underspending in general
<br /> government, highways and streets, and other, were partially offset by amounts over budget in public
<br /> safety and culture and recreation. Public safety was over budget, due to pension pass-through payments to

<br /> current year.
