Settlement With Rust Co Was Wise For City Finance
The city faces a tight cash situation with $88,826.81 available to run government for five months until tax revenues arrive. If the $95,564.79 held in savings had been turned into the treasury, funds could be secured at a favorable rate, but a shortfall still remains. The controller notes the general revenue fund will be about $8,000 short, with total appropriations near $96,000 and the poor fund adding $3,000. From April to June income is virtually nil, forcing use of year-to-year carryover around $20,000 and leaving a projected shortfall of at least $28,000.
