<br />Total General Fund expenditures for 2025 were $1,510,799 (7.3 percent) less than the previous year.
<br />Natural inflationary increases and the continued growth in development in the City contributed to the
<br />overall changes in current expenditures. Other expenditures were down by $2,992,947, due to the timing
<br />of capital spending, which was down in the current year.
