DEPARTMENT / DIVISION FUND
NON–DEPARTMENTAL UTILITY
PROGRAM NAME
NON–DEPARTMENTAL
DESCRIPTION / MISSION
Non-departmental is the department where expenditures not identified with any particular department in the City are identified.
These expenditures are not associated with any one particular department or are applicable to all departments. Therefore, these
General Fund non-operational expenditures are set aside in Non-departmental and benefit all General fund operational
departments. Allocating these costs among the departments would not be reasonable nor practical because there is no rationale
for distributing these costs to the departments or a large one-time expenditure would skew the historical costs to such an extent
that year to year comparison would be useless.
