Every dollar the City of Monroe’s general fund took in during the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2025, and what it paid for. The general fund pays for the city’s day-to-day work; water and wastewater (sewer) run on their own funds and are not in this picture.Cada dólar que recibió el fondo general de la ciudad de Monroe en el año fiscal que terminó el 30 de junio de 2025, y en qué se gastó. El fondo general paga el trabajo diario de la ciudad; el agua y las aguas residuales (alcantarillado) tienen fondos propios y no están aquí.
