Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Sagamore Hills Township 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 $350,000; payments to other governments $995,000. With these, the whole budget was $3.8 million.
About “Other”.96% of Sagamore Hills Township’s day-to-day spending ($2.4 million) is filed by the Census Bureau outside the named functions above, so the receipt can’t say what it buys.
