Years are fiscal years (July to June). The last column is a partial year: it stops at the latest transaction the Controller has published, so it is not comparable with the full years beside it. A year's figures can change as late entries are posted. “No district recorded” is the dataset's own blank: those rows carry “NOT ENTERED” in the council district field.
Which funds the money came from
FY2024-25, every record in the dataset, by the fund the Controller recorded it against.

Fund names are the Controller's. Each district's real property and public benefit trust funds are grouped into one line apiece; the two street furniture fund names are combined.

Who received the money
This dataset has no payee field. Recipients appear, when they appear at all, inside a free-text transaction description, often as an invoice or contract number, so the records cannot be totalled by recipient without guessing. Payments to outside vendors also appear in the City's checkbook, which does name payees.
Sources
- The source is the Controller's dataset “Council Districts Discretionary Expenditure Since FY23”, published on the Controller's open data portal with a stated bi-weekly refresh.
- Its description of each amount: “The amount made to outside vendors and/or other city departments. A negative amount typically indicates a discount applied to another purchase.” Totals here can therefore include money sent to other City departments, not only payments to outside vendors.
- Its notes: “Notes: Transactions with a Budget Fiscal Year prior to 2023 are not included (due to limitations in the FMS_GL_09 universe), regardless of the Fiscal Year specified. To ensure data completeness, the bi-weekly update retrieves records based on a record date set two weeks prior to the extraction date, rather than the retrieval date itself.”
- The dataset's fiscal year field is read here as the year a fiscal year ends, which is what the transaction dates show (rows labeled with a year run from the July before it to the June of it).
- The Controller last added rows on Jan 21, 2026; the latest transaction is dated Jan 16, 2026.
