Adopted vs executed — FY2021, Operating funds
Adopted (operating)$1,009,577,041
Executed (operating)$570,664,745
Deviation−$438.9M (−43.5%)
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. The SFPUC's budget sits across a fund structure where part of the Operating-fund budget is executed in other fund categories (debt service, capital), so large under-execution (for example −42% in FY2024) is a fund-structure artifact, not money left unspent.
