Good Afternoon,
Please see responses to your requests in yellow in your email below.
2000-2009 budget data is not included at this time. We will need to go to our remote facility to pull the previous budgets. I am unsure at this time of the budget format for these years and if the data you're requesting will be contained within these particular budgets. We will have an answer on years 2000-2009 by Friday July 16, 2021.
Thank you,
Judie
Judie Milner,
City Manager
City of Franklin

Attached are the budgets that were not on the website. They are structured very differently but if your scroll to public safety, you will see police budget detail. Scroll to capital (near the bottom) for any police related capital items budgeted. Other data that was available in the FY10-FY21 budgets were not available in these previous versions.
