An overview of Toronto Government

A functional view 19-Dec-2012 [8184]

This is a view of the city taken by re-grouping line items of the annual city budget. It assumes that these line items represent the highest view of city operational units.

The view at the highest level distinguishes three areas of functionality:

Personal services
Interventions for individual citizens (and their property), including Support and Security
Public services
Services provided for everyone's use, including Works and Commons
Municipal services
Corporate management and initiatives, including Administration and Finance

Here are the groupings of all budget line item categories except those attributed to Municipal Administration (which is the most complex).

Note: Corporations (italicised and asterisked) are budgeted separately. The net effect of corporate financing is budgeted under Municipal Finance.
