Detailed Spending & Budget vs. Actual

The granular view, straight from the City's accounting records: what we spend by category and by department, tracked against budget as the year goes on. Every figure here ties back to the City's books.

Straight from the City's accounting records. These figures come from the City's QuickBooks books (City of Linn Valley QuickBooks — Profit & Loss Budget vs. Actual) — the working budget and actual spending. That's a different cut from the adopted budget (the legal ceiling) shown on Where the Money Goes — the two reconcile, and we show exactly how, below. These numbers are still being validated by City staff.

Where it stands

Actual spending current through June 25, 2026.

$1,039,491 Total budgeted (2026)
$672,981 Actual spent so far 65% of budget
$366,510 Remaining
48% Of the year elapsed Spending ahead of pace

A quick way to read this: about 48% of the year has passed, so spending near 48% of budget is roughly on pace. Each bar below has a faint vertical marker at the year's pace — green is on/under pace, gold is ahead of pace, red is over budget.

By category (what we spend it on)

Spending grouped by type across the whole City — payroll, insurance, utilities, facilities, and so on. The 2025 actual column shows what the City actually spent in each category last year, for comparison — the City spent $1,679,772 in all of 2025.

Revenue — money in (budget vs. actual)

The other side of the ledger: what the City has collected so far against what it budgeted. $1,316,966 collected year-to-date.

Note on revenue budgets. Some revenues — most of all property tax — are budgeted through the mill levy and the adopted budget, not in QuickBooks' income budget. Those show the actual collected with “not budgeted in QuickBooks” rather than a comparison. The fee-based revenues (water, sewer, permits) are the meaningful budget-vs-actual ones.

Do the utilities pay for themselves?

Water and sewer are enterprise funds — the idea is that the fees residents pay should cover the cost of running the service, rather than property taxes subsidizing it. Here's how the adopted budget plans for that, with fees collected so far.

Fees budgeted to cover 89% of cost

Fees & charges (budgeted)$576,500

This year the Sewer Utility plans to spend $71,437 more than it collects, drawn from reserves — largely the $200,000 of one-time capital work. Day-to-day operations are much closer to covered by fees. See the Sewer Utility Fund →

These use the adopted budget's fund totals (the authoritative figures) so the comparison is clean; “fees collected so far” is the actual from the City's books. A big capital year (new water tower, sewer work) makes a fund look far from self-funding even when daily operations roughly break even.

How this compares to the adopted budget

You may notice this page's operating total ($1,039,491) doesn't match the adopted General Fund budget ($1,332,875) on Where the Money Goes. Both are correct — they're two different documents:

The working General Fund budget of $1,039,491 sits $293,384 below the adopted ceiling of $1,332,875 — meaning the City plans to operate well within its legal authority. That difference breaks down as:

General Fund — adopted ceiling vs. working budget
Department Adopted (ceiling) QuickBooks (working) Difference
Administration $430,000 $205,743 −$224,257
Police Department $400,000 $379,600 −$20,400
Codes $190,000 $188,850 −$1,150
Legal $80,000 $95,465 +$15,465
Fire Department $70,000 $81,150 +$11,150
Municipal court $50,000 $56,185 +$6,185
Governing body $20,000 $32,498 +$12,498
Planning & zoningnot budgeted in QuickBooks $25,000 −$25,000
Capital outlaynot budgeted in QuickBooks $57,875 −$57,875
Contingency / othernot budgeted in QuickBooks $10,000 −$10,000
General Fund total $1,332,875 $1,039,491 −$293,384

The other funds — water, sewer, street, and capital projects — are adopted in their own funds (the adopted all-funds total is $2,550,108 for 2026); in QuickBooks several of those carry actual spending without a separate budget column, so they appear here as “no budget set.”

How this is kept current: these numbers are refreshed from the City's accounting export (the date above shows how current they are). For the big-picture adopted budget by fund, see Where the Money Goes; for definitions, the glossary.
