What has the City spent on Art and Music Expense?
$662K across 3,035 payments, July 14, 2017 to September 8, 2026 — 572 purchase orders and 171 vendors, run by Cultural Affairs.
As published: ART AND MUSIC EXPENSE
This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 572 separate purchase orders. A single payment in the register shows none of that — the commitment outlives any one order, and the orders are how it gets renewed.
