FY2024: Departments were regrouped again in FY2024. The county reorganised its operating categories a second time in FY2024, largely reversing the FY2013 change. Public Works, absent since FY2013, reappears and takes back four departments from Community Development and Planning, whose total falls from $24,797,319 to $5,496,367 without any department being cut. Three of the four were also renamed as they moved. Figures either side of FY2024 describe different groupings of work and should not be read as one continuous trend.

History
Every year this line appears, with the document each figure was read from. Years with nothing published say so; they are never turned into zero. A numeric zero is shown as $0. When the county printed a dash, † marks the site’s arithmetic-zero representation.

Several departments were renamed in FY2020The FY2020-21 budget book relabelled a number of lines without changing what they cover. The operating-transfers category became Other Financing Uses and its members were renamed with it; County Administrator became Council Administrator; Geographic Information System gained an S. Planning and Code Compliance was split into Planning and Code Enforcement, whose two FY2020 totals add to $4,907,755 — our sum, not a figure the county printed — against the published $4,690,825 for the single FY2019 line. Where this site can show which later line continues an earlier one, the entity page links the two.Why this is recorded
Departments were reorganisedAround 2013 the county reorganised its departments. Human resources and public works stop appearing under those names, and emergency medical services and community development and planning appear. Figures either side of this point describe different groupings of work and should not be read as one continuous trend.Why this is recorded
Employee benefits moved into departmentsThe county dates this change to FY2005: "Changes were made during FY2005 to reflect all departmental benefits within each department." The figures here change at FY2006 instead. The FY2005 department figures come from the earlier FY2004-05 book under the old arrangement, and the FY2006-07 book does not reprint FY2005 department detail.Why this is recorded
