The proposal breaks down major funds as presented: the general fund (about 45% of the total), special revenue funds (parks, recreation, cemetery, police levy, streets and grants) at roughly 20% and enterprise funds for water, sanitary sewer and stormwater. Mr. Daffolito said the proposed general fund figures were being refined and that the police department remains the largest general-fund expense.
