What has the City spent on General?

$35.0M across 372 payments, August 29, 2017 to April 22, 2026 — 179 purchase orders and 15 vendors, run by City Clerk.

Spans more than one contract

This budget line has run for 9 fiscal years across 179 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.
