Expenses are not finalized until CU Boulder bills the police department for the various items and services used to close campus on April 20th. However, with no CUSG- funded concert, last year's concert cost can be disregarded to get an estimate of how much 2013 might cost. CU Boulder's 2013 expenses are categorized similarly to 2012's expenses, but the cost of each varies with the year. Accurate figures will be released by CUPD around early June on a press release and on their website.
