These include the new <br />financial management software (a two-year project) and the Comprehensive Planning <br />process (a multi-year initiative). <br />As mentioned, the City Hall expenses were moved to an internal service fund, and there are <br />transfers from all city center departments. The prior-utilized City Hall department is <br />reflected in this table for this year to show actual expenditures in the general fund. <br />Similarly, the Communications Dept. was rolled into the Administration Dept in 2024. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
