Reserve fund in Franklin County reaches six hundred thousand
Franklin County maintains a reserve fund of at least 600000 with an additional 100000 in a 90 day note as state law requires cash on hand for purchases. The fund comes from unspent funds and various revenues and is viewed as prudent management. If revenues halted, the reserve could cover about three months of costs, and officials plan to avoid tax cuts by trimming department requests.
