About these figures

The City’s remuneration schedule lists this department as “Arts Culture Community Service” in 2025; the name is written out here.

75 more roles held by 1 or 2 people (90 people, $10.4M) are counted in the department total and not listed.

Departments are listed under the name the City used each year; a renamed department appears as a separate fiche.

The threshold has been $75,000 in every year of the schedule. As pay rises, more employees cross it, so part of the growth in headcount is wages, not hiring. No police department appears among the schedule's departments.
