| The General Fund includes all services that
are funded through general taxes and fees. In other words, it includes all
city programs except those that are paid for through dedicated taxes
(for example, the state and city gas taxes) or fees (for example, water
fees). Property tax is the largest
source of general fund revenue, and it makes up over 40% of total revenues.
Other sources of revenue include building fees, traffic fines, the city's
share of county library funding, utility franchise fees, etc.
The chart below shows the relative size of
the budget of each department.
The table below summarizes the past actual and
current budgeted expenditures for each department or program within the general fund.
Note that the "Revenues" department shows no budget, since by definition there
are no expenditures in that department.
To see the description and detailed budgets for
each department, click on the department name link.
