Spending
Minutes are in for 52 of 53 Council meetings and 9 of 10 Planning Board meetings held so far, so the totals below are incomplete, not final.
Approved so far (meetings with minutes), since January 2025
How spending is counted
Approximate. Figures are pulled from the minutes automatically, and each approved item counts once, using its largest dollar figure. Left out: 6 rates (like dollars per hour), revenue and property-value figures, and the city's annual budget total ($114.2M, Sep 15, 2026). An item that a consent bundle repeats is counted once. Check the linked meeting for the details.
