[CSMFO Members] Budgeting a General Fund Reserve

[Susan Halligan]

I would like to know of any cities that set aside surplus funds in a General Fund Reserve annually during budgeting.  If so, what is the target goal of the Reserve?   Six months operating expenses?  Do you earmark certain revenues?  Do you have a separate fund for the reserve?    Any responses by January 3rd will be greatly appreciated.  However, please respond through January 31.   Thanks very much.   Susan Halligan Finance Director City of Lathrop (209) 858-2860 ext. 355 (209) 858-5259 FAX [EMAIL PROTECTED]
