Impact analysis
This whole spat could mean big trouble for future funding if the city's accused of being fiscally irresponsible.
Ultimately, taxpayers benefit if the city can prove the funds were used appropriately and efficiently.
If the city did indeed waste the money, taxpayers could be on the hook for repayment or face cuts to other services.
