“Adopted” is the budget as first adopted; “final budget” adds the changes and transfers made during the year, such as grants received; “spent” is actual expense recorded against that year's budget. All funds, as the Controller's budget data files them under this department. Most employee benefits, pension contributions and liability payouts are budgeted in citywide accounts outside any department (see non-departmental accounts), and some special-fund work for departments is budgeted there too, so they are not included. The year in progress shows only its adopted budget.

“Full-time employees with active status” counts distinct people whose full-time job was active when the Controller extracted the data, the measure the payroll page uses. “Everyone paid” also counts part-time, seasonal and per-event workers and people who left during the year. Total and overtime pay cover everyone paid. “Pay per full-time employee” is those employees' total pay divided by their number. Pay excludes the City's pension and benefit contributions.
