Anna city hall bids cap $619 870 amid debt discipline
Anna reports phase of fiscal stability with a $619,870 bid for a new city hall behind the fire station on West Market Street to host council meetings and a community center. The city is finalizing payments on two late 1990s bonds for water sewer and gas, with full repayment anticipated by 2010 and 2018, while library operations remain debt free and Anna School Districts face deficits and bond bills.

Anna-Jonesboro Surplus Guards Against Watch List Status
Anna-Jonesboro District 81 is the county’s only school not on Illinois’ financial watch list with a May surplus of 1.66 million dollars. Superintendent Bill Schildknecht credits conservative budgeting and several campus improvements as the district’s path from red ink in the early 1990s to present profitability, while warning state aid cuts and future contracts may erode the reserve.

Jonesboro Fights to Stay Stable Amid Crunch Ahead
Jonesboro Mayor Randy Tucker says the town remains financially stable but faces a looming crunch. The city reports 610 285 revenue and 570 055 expenses, with no bonds and growing reliance on motor fuel tax. The library and school budgets show tight finances as construction bonds for a 3.7 million wing and gym loom, with room rents only partly covering costs.
