How the numbers work
Each ward office publishes a "Ward Budget & Expenditure Disclosure" report. Total spending includes staff salaries, which the City doesn't itemize to protect employees' privacy, so itemized expenses add up to much less than the total.
Reports cover the year to date. The latest one runs to – , so its totals are for part of the year; compare full years for a fair picture.
2025 reports cover both the councillor who served until the October 2025 election and the one elected then.
"Community sponsorships" is the City's account for sponsoring individuals and organizations: event tickets, donations, and promotional items given out at events. Categories group the City's expense accounts; the account name is in each row.
Amounts are as reported, including refunds shown as negative amounts. The Mayor's office isn't included because no matching report was found.
