West Frankfort faces upcoming payroll shortfall
West Frankfort Finance Commissioner John Simmons warned the City Council that the September 19 payroll of 35000 may not be covered. With July bills of 14808 and an extra 1359 paid, general funds drop to 3076, while sales tax receipts arrive September 1 and a Labor Day payroll remains uncertain. The city holds 305000 in a special assessment bonds account and 20000 in a parking facilities account but officials say those funds are designated and cannot be used for general operations. The council approved allocating 20000 annually for five years from motor fuel taxes to aid the Big Ditch flood project and discussed dog control limits. Meeting adjourned to 1 pm September 3 to act on a levy ordinance.
