Budgets are self-auditing: every total should equal the sum of its parts — accountants call that cross-footing. Line items must sum to category totals, categories to departments, departments to funds, funds to the ordinance's own grand total of $23,211,651.26 — to the dollar, no rounding. This page is the arithmetic receipt for the whole money trail. Any line that cannot be checked yet says so on its own citation page.
