Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Revenue growth was supported by state aid increases and tax increases, while expenditure growth was primarily driven by employee benefits and community services. Auditors noted that while the city currently has a financial cushion, a decline in the undesignated fund balance could create a deficit situation down the road.
