Budget Transparency
Article X — Budget Transparency
Full expenditure traceability at resident level. Headline figures above are the FY2027 budget as passed by the Council on second and final reading, June 5, 2026 (Bills 55–56, unanimous) — now on the Mayor's desk, effective July 1 on signature. The to-the-penny ledger below remains the FY2026 proposed ordinance baseline until the adopted FY2027 ordinance text publishes; council-watch ingests it the day it posts and this page re-reconciles exactly, including negative reimbursement entries. Node budgets are glyph-verified and publicly ledgered under this article.
Operating — salaries vs operations
FY2026 proposed baseline — re-parses automatically when the FY2027 ordinance publishes.
Department appropriations
FY2026 proposed baseline · all 22 departments and offices, sorted by appropriation, exact to the penny. Blue bar = Finance, which carries the countywide costs (fringe benefits, debt service, fund transfers) detailed in section 03 — its departmental operations alone are ~$16.7M. FY2027 department detail lands here when the adopted ordinance posts.
Countywide costs — inside Finance
The largest single appropriations in the county, held centrally. Green = money flowing back (reimbursements, shown as negative in the ordinance).
