Mr. Elliott said this will leave $31,446 to be added to the General Fund Contingency Reserve and a new balance of $445,752 or 5.38% of General Fund Proposed Expense of $8,286,112. Mayor Huntoon commented that now is a good time to start paying for the Fire Station from current revenues rather than through Revenue Sharing.
