City of Nowthen · Money
Following the 2025 money through the record
This follows real 2025 dollars through the bids, contracts, and payments the council actually voted on. It is a trail, not a budget, grouped the way a resident would ask about the money, by road, piece of equipment, or vendor. Every figure links back to the meeting that proves it.
What you're looking at
Every payment, bid, contract, quote, and capital purchase the system could find in the 2025 meeting record. Itemized checks from the published claim registers sit alongside the big-ticket commitments the council voted on. Each is grouped by the road, the piece of equipment, or the vendor it touched, and linked back to the meeting that proves it.
It's an AI-read research index awaiting human review. It is a companion to, not a replacement for, the official hand-verified budget on the main Money page. Nothing here feeds the tax simulator.
Payments made
$415k
171 itemized checks from the published registers
Bids and contracts approved
$1.18M
26 jobs at an accepted bid, contract, or purchase. Each job counts once at its furthest stage. Estimates and quotes are not added.
Bonds sold
$1.25M
Par amount of the bond sale awarded this year. Authorizations are not added. This is borrowing, not spending.
Where the city published an itemized check register, every line was captured and reconciles to the penny against the printed register total. Where a payment line isn't on record yet, the ledger shows the highest stage that is, whether an accepted bid, an awarded contract, or a capital purchase.
Roads & projects
Every street the record ties money to, from first estimate to awarded contract to the checks written. The headline number is the furthest stage reached. We never add an estimate to the bid to the contract, since they describe the same job.

Bond financing (kept out of spending)
These are debt actions (authorizing or selling bonds) that bring money in to fund streets and equipment. They are not a 2025 expense, so they are listed here on their own rather than counted with the payments above. The bonds sold figure at the top counts only the awarded sale, since the authorization and the equipment and fire truck lines describe the same borrowing.
