BACKGROUND
The Schertz/Seguin Local Government Corporation has a Retained Earnings Policy that sets a threshold for the minimum retained earnings to be held in the operating fund. By previous SSLGC Board action, the minimum is set at three months of operating expenditures. Based upon this policy, there is $3,500,000 above this threshold currently in this reserve account available for use, verified by the Annual Audit for FY2017-2018. SSLGC Staff is recommending a transfer to the SSLGC Repair/Replacement Fund in the amount of $3,000,000 and a transfer to the Rate Stabilization fund in the amount of $500,000. $1,197,850 of this will be used to provide for repairs, maintenance and upgrades of existing facilities.
