What has the City spent on BID General?
$706.0M across 5,656 payments, July 13, 2017 to September 4, 2026 — 509 purchase orders and 66 vendors, run by City Clerk.
As published: BID GENERAL
This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 509 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.
