Deep dives

Activity-based cost methodology

How fully-loaded service costs are computed for the Village

Plain-English walkthrough of the ABC pipeline as applied to the Village A General Fund: direct lines, benefits + overhead pooled and allocated by payroll share (with the Village's bespoke police shares), dedicated revenue, and residual levy burden. Same numbers the per-fund ABC toggle shows, with the methodology and routing rules called out.

Sewer spending

Account-level burn rates for sewer operations

Where the Sewer Fund's money actually goes month by month — ongoing operations, repairs, septic pumping, WWTP sludge, supplies.

Sewer rates

Rate-setting analysis and scenarios

How sewer rates are calculated, who pays what, scenarios for closing the operating-vs-rate-revenue gap.

Sewer flow & compliance

WWTP operations data + regulatory compliance

DEC monthly operation reports, flow trends, NOAA-validated rainfall comparison, sludge pumping vs rainfall, permit-excursion timeline.

Inter-fund flows

Money moving between Village funds

Every transfer between Village funds — General Fund subsidies to Sewer, capital-projects transfers, reserve drawdowns. Reconciles each outflow with its matching inflow and flags transfers where the two sets of books don't tie.

Where the numbers come from.Adopted budgets are scraped from the Village's DocumentCenter. Audited actuals come from the NYS Comptroller's bulk Annual Financial Report data. Sewer-spending drill-downs are QuickBooks-derived. WWTP compliance data is parsed from the DEC monthly Operation Reports (DMRs).
