Adopted vs executed — FY2025, Operating funds
Adopted (operating)$591,092,608
Executed (operating)$624,508,020
Deviation$33.4M (+5.7%)
Operating funds only, transfer characters and related government units excluded — the one perimeter where adopted and executed are the same thing (measured; capital and multi-year project funds spend across years by design).
This deviation is a perimeter artifact. GEN is the citywide unallocated bucket, not an operating department: items budgeted here are often spent from line departments, so large deviations (for example +73% in FY2024) are a perimeter artifact of where money is parked, not overspending.
