What has the City spent on Child Care and Learning Centers?
$14.9M across 4,594 payments, January 28, 2022 to September 1, 2026 — 321 purchase orders and 70 vendors, run by Recreation and Parks.
As published: CHILD CARE AND LEARNING CENTERS
This budget line has run for 6 fiscal years across 321 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.
