By year
Budget years run July to June. Adopted is the appropriation in the adopted budget; budget is the appropriation after changes during the year, which can include money carried over; spent is what has been charged to that year's budget so far; committed is reserved under contracts and purchase orders but not yet paid. Revenue is what the fund collected in that fiscal year. Funds carry balances from year to year, so a year's revenue and spending are not a surplus or shortfall.
