Extraction notes

The adopted book is titled FY 2026-27 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027). City-wide expenditures across all funds are printed as $148,432,501 (Summary of All Funds GRAND TOTAL / City-Wide Summary). General Fund departmental appropriations are $85,762,503. Extraction publishes both: the ten General Fund departments from the Expenditure Summary by Department, plus the other fund-type TOTAL rows. Those rows sum to $148,432,500 — one dollar under the printed GRAND TOTAL, which we leave as the book's rounding. Object-level line items come from each department's Expenditures table where the PDF has extractable text; Community Development, Human Resources, and Public Safety print those tables as charts, so only the verified department total is published for those three.
