What has the City spent on Department Administration?
$4.4M across 1,461 payments, July 11, 2017 to September 8, 2026 — 291 purchase orders and 47 vendors, run by Recreation and Parks.
As published: DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION
This budget line has run for 9 fiscal years across 291 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.
