Burg Budget

An Independent Accounting of City Hall

Investment Income

Interest the city earns by keeping its cash in interest-bearing accounts, similar to interest on a savings account. Goes up and down with interest rates.

This jumped to $500,000 this year, about 499% more than the $83,481 it was in FY2025. Put another way: back in FY2017 this made up about under 1% of Local Receipts - today it's 4.0%, a bigger slice than before.
