<br />■ Actual ■ Budget
<br />General Fund expenditures totaled $20,819,869 in 2024 and were $20,101 (or 0.1 percent) over the final
<br />budget. Spending was over budget for other expenditures by $520,686. The variance in overspending for
<br />other expenditures was largely due to capital outlay spending that was budgeted for the prior year, but was
<br />delayed to fiscal year 2024. General government, public safety, highways and streets, and culture and
<br />recreation were $224,015, $8,359, $201,719, and $66,492 under budget, respectively. Open positions and
<br />conservative budgeting largely accounted for these variances.

<br />year as previously mentioned.
