2007 Budget Transparency, Part 2

I'm putting this up even though it's not final. The numbers are accurate but the format will change.

The budget for expenditures is harder to illustrate than revenues. It's more complicated and understanding it depends on what you're interested in. I imagine you can't read the fine print so here's a summary.

The budget can be divided into:

• Emergency Services - 20% (red and yellow)
• Highway Department - 40% (green)
• General fund - 40% (blue)

Breaking it down further:

Emergency Services

• Fire Departments $791,869
• Ambulance $311,100

Highway Department

• Equipment & Machinery $670,000
• Roads & Bridges, labor $535,500
• Roads & Bridges, material $483, 000
• Employee Benefits $347,000
• Snow Removal $219,000
• Other $148,000

General Fund

• Public Works $482,424
• Culture & Recreation $467,714
• Administration $412,223
• Employee Benefits $293,000
• Building & Planning Dept $261,880
• Court $135,128
