Thank you so much! This is a fantastic breakdown and guide to the city budget. Biggest takeaways I noticed:

Largest percentage increase in Department budget – 42.3% – Human Rights Commission
Largest percentage decrease in Department budget – 22.5% – Port Commission

5 Departments with largest percentage increase in budget:

Human Rights Commission – 42.3%
Retirement Systems – 19.4%
Airport – 12.8%
Fine Arts Museums – 9.8%
Recreation and Parks – 9%

I am completely impressed. You have taken an almost incomprehensible set of information and made it meaningful.

This is phenomenal and so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much, Will!

Thank you, Will and Mission Local! Great work!

Is there a budget breakdown showing the amounts for pensions – both to vested retirees drawing pensions and for current employees in the retirement system. How about the amounts for current and future health benefits for current and former city employees? How about current City payroll, breaking out workers on leave?

Absolutely fantastic.
Would be great to see on the table the net amounts that are going to/coming from “enterprise departments” (ie SFO is listed as $1.49B – but of that is it all money they raised, or is any of it (ie for salaries/retirements/benefits/police/fire/etc) coming out of the General Fund?

Excellent work!
