General Fund expenditures reached just over $8.3 million, roughly $2.3 million or 37% more than this time last fiscal year. The largest contributor to this year-over-year change is spending on Professional and Technical Services, Infrastructure, and Salaries & Wages. Ongoing capital projects are attributed to the rise in both professional services and infrastructure spending. These categories combined to make-up roughly $3 million in current spending. Salaries and Wages have also increased by 27% when compared to the same month last year, primarily driven by wage increases and a return to previous staffing levels.
