City of Knoxville · Budget season

Fiscal year 2012

July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012

Every budget & taxes decision the body made in this fiscal year, in the order it happened. Each step shows who moved it, how the body voted, and any dollar figure written into the motion — and links to that meeting and its source minutes.

What this shows — and what it doesn't. This is the sequence of published motions carrying the budget & taxes topic whose meeting fell in this fiscal year (City of Knoxville's runs July 1 – June 30). It is not the county budget document, not actual money spent, and not a complete account of budget deliberations. Movers, votes, and dollar amounts are copied from the record; nothing is inferred. Amounts sum only across adopted motions.

Excludes 114 motions not yet published. Contested and deferred votes publish only after review, so this arc can run short until the queue clears.

How this is built. The arc is every published motion carrying the neutral budget & taxes topic whose meeting fell in this fiscal year, ordered by meeting date. Movers, dispositions, tallies, and dollar figures are read straight from the record; amounts are copied verbatim and summed only across adopted motions. This is a view of the record, not the budget document itself. See spending approved and Methodology.
