Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Fremont collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.

Not in the receipt.Building projects $150,000. With these and the enterprises, the whole budget was $629,000.
About “Other”.26% of Fremont’s day-to-day spending ($123,000) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
