Fund Balance: The Stormwater Fund’s fund balance on June 30, 2021 was $1,487,988 which was a 36.67% increase from the fiscal year 2020. The fiscal year 2022 fund balance is estimated to decrease 35.49% from fiscal year 2021 to $959,860. These changes are primarily due to the level of capital project funding and the amounts that are retained in the capital reserves at year end. Fiscal year 2023 projected fund balance represents a 35.84% increase over the fiscal year 2022 estimated year-end balance to finish at $1,303,882. This increase is due to a lower level of capital project funding planned in 2023.

The Capital Reserve balance is expected to be at $264,000 in fiscal year 2022 and $674,000 in fiscal year 2023.
