CheckbookBudget line

What has the City spent on Equipment?

$12.0M across 562 payments, July 19, 2017 to July 10, 2026 — 150 purchase orders and 41 vendors, run by Non-departmental: Appropriations to Special Purpose Fund.

Spans more than one contract

This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 150 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.
