The reason this is done is so when the fiscal year is over the fund balances in those accounts will not be automatically converted back to the general fund where they can be spent. They are held in reserve to pay the note on a loan and can't be spent on other items.<BR/><BR/>The start up costs for the city are being spread over a number of years and it was discussed at the last meeting that our current debt load for next year is about 6% of our total revenue which I am told is well within our limits.<BR/><BR/>As far as your request as to the financial linkages and improved data; I post everything I get and I am told that our site will be improved to include budget data.<BR/><BR/>I will see if I can compile the data and put together a blog post on the subject to answer some of your questions.John Heneghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046846808671417720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-28651228741096594142009-03-09T07:32:00.000-04:002009-03-09T07:32:00.000-04:00John, Can you or someone with the city explain wha...John, <BR/>Can you or someone with the city explain what a Debt Reserve Fund is, how it operates and how the city uses it. It would also be nice to see a diagram showing fund/account linkages and flows (what one might do with Quicken & Co). I would like to see what debt, short and long term, we have/will incur, how it will be repaid, what reserves might be required in which funds...sort of a money road map. I don't mean to ask for too much, but could this be posted on the city's web site?<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Sight Edmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02209999489685877741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-91892571524737973662009-03-07T11:02:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:02:00.000-05:00It will we with great excitement and some amount o...It will we with great excitement and some amount of reservation that the citizens of Dunwoody see a police force on the streets. How will people react? Will Dunwoody become a speed trap? We already being warned! Will the citizens hold these officers to the same standards as they expect of us? <BR/><BR/>DunwoodyPoliceWatch.blogspot.comDunwoody Police Watch Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517564686404680295noreply@blogger.com
