FUND BALANCE PROJECTION This means we will use (as needed) $1M rather than $1.94M of appropriated revenue in current year. That will allow $1M towards next year’s appropriated revenue needs. That $1M, coupled with ~ $400,000 excess unassigned in 11.12, allows for $1.4M appropriated in without touching reserves.
