Frederick reports $2.77 million surplus boosts 1986-87 outlook
The city of Frederick posted a $2.77 million budget surplus for the year ended June 30 1985, up $580000 from the prior year, with Finance Director Betty E Rice noting it allows a steadier property tax rate and reinforces the city’s strong financial condition. The water and sewer fund gained $399286 aided by higher water rates, and the general fund finished about $2 million ahead of expenses. The surplus is treated as a recurring revenue source and supports next year’s budget after a federal revenue sharing cut.
