<br />General Fund expenditures totaled $14,390,861 in 2022 and were $101,779 (or 0.7 percent) under the
<br />final budget. Spending was over budget for public safety by $313,466 and highways and streets by
<br />$63,191. General government, culture and recreation, and other expenditures were $197,202, $36,599,
<br />and $244,635 under budget, respectively. Open positions and conservative budgeting largely accounted
<br />for these variances. The largest variance in overspending for public safety was largely due to pension
<br />pass -through payments to the fire relief (offset by intergovernmental revenues) and additional overtime
<br />spending required in the current year.

<br />Total General Fund expenditures for 2022 were $224,458 (1.6 percent) more than the previous year.
<br />Natural inflationary increases and the continued growth in development in the City contributed to the
<br />overall increase in expenditures. Less capital spending reduced "other" spending from the prior year.
