How to read this page
Budgeted does not necessarily mean spent
An adopted budget authorizes spending. It does not necessarily mean the entire amount was ultimately spent.
A budget entry also does not prove that equipment was purchased, a vendor contract was signed, or a project was completed.
Contracts, purchase orders, invoices and audited actual expenditures provide additional evidence about what happened after funding was approved.
