AVERAGES FOR THE GENERAL FUND are annual revenues of $1,177,339, total fund
balance of $631,181 and reserved fund balance of $388,521 at 33% of revenues
which would result in a maximum unreserved balance of $242,660 that could be
allocated for capital outlays or other one-time expenses.
There was consensus to allocate funds in the 2007-08 budget for capital
outlays and other one-time expenses, as follows: Purpose Amt
