An operating surplus between revenue and expenditures of about one million dollars is projected.

The All Funds budget of $1.5 billion, which includes the General Fund, the Health and Human Services Funds, and Special Revenue Funds, is projected to end the year with expenditures $132 million under budget, again reflecting careful fiscal management.
