each fund equals the total amount of resources in the fund for the same period.
(2) Estimates
required under subsection (1) of this section must be prepared by
organizational unit or by program. For purposes of preparing the estimates, organizational
unit does not apply to hospitals, school districts or education service

for each activity of a program. Estimates under each activity must be detailed

expenses and general capital outlays that cannot reasonably be allocated to an
activity within a program and for special payments, debt service and interfund
revenue transfers.

expenditures for personnel services must include for each organizational unit
or activity the total budgeted cost of all officers and employees and the
number of related full-time equivalent positions. Upon request, a municipal
corporation shall make available the current salary of each officer and
