Analysis

Overall, City General Fund revenue has come in greater than budget over the past several years and expenditures have come in less than budget over the past several years, which means the City has the ability to maintain solid cash reserves for instances like Hurricane Harvey when millions of dollars of unforeseen expenditures can happen in a short period of time.
