Expenditures – Total Operating Investments

Planned operating expenditures in this fiscal year across all funds total $137,682,832, which is a
$7,169,398, or 5.4% increase from the prior year adopted budgeted expenditures. Figure 12 shows
the total adopted expenditures by category, for all funds and the table shows expenditures by fund.
As previously discussed, increases in personnel costs are included in the budget, impacting most of
the funds shown below. Notable changes showing reductions in expenses from prior year are due to
previously-budgeted one-time expenses (SPDC Operating Fund, CCPD Fund, Technology Infrastructure
& Security Fund, and Vehicle Replacement Fund) that have been removed from the FY 2026 budget.
Conversely, funds with notable increases in expenditures such as the TIF Operating Fund, Strategic
Initiative Fund, and the Facility Maintenance Fund are providing funding in FY 2026 for new one-time
projects or needs. The Fund Highlights provided later in this Budget Overview provide greater detail
