What the numbers mean

Kremmling runs city-owned utilities, which add 31.7% of its revenue. Cities that don't run utilities will look lower on revenue and spending per resident for that reason alone. What counts as utility revenue
With about 1,481 residents, small changes in Kremmling's budget move per-resident figures a lot. Compare several years, not one.
