2026 budget to actuals report
At a glance
- What: the standing monthly report comparing 2026 spending with the adjusted budget, including labor and non-labor, overtime, travel, and alcohol and marijuana tax funds.
- Where it stands (Oct 15, data through Sept 30): the municipality had spent 72 percent of its budget at 74.5 percent through the year. Labor was 75 percent and non-labor 68 percent, the gap mostly financial transactions not yet booked (tax anticipation notes, convention center, reserves). Project management and engineering showed a misapplied encumbrance being corrected. Chief administrative office costs run high with venue contracts and risk management.
- Other lines: alcohol tax appropriations were 99 percent spent (mostly homelessness providers and health grants); travel about 13 percent under budget; police, fire and transit overtime were deferred to the next day's budget presentation.
- Caveat: figures come from auto-captions. Spending on foot patrol overtime is tracked at Downtown foot patrol funding.
