To further help manage its liquidity needs, the Commission has been advanced cash from the County in prior fiscal years totaling $500,000. This is due to the reimbursement process which takes on average 45-60 days.
Additionally, the Commission has a cumulative reserve totaling $4,278,344 as of September 30, 2022. This reserve increases or decreases each year depending on bed tax collections and whether the Commission goes over/under budget at the end of the fiscal year. Although the Commission does not intend to spend from their reserve other than amounts appropriated for general expenditures as part of its annual contract budget approval and appropriation, amounts from their reserve could be made available, if necessary, with permission from the County and are earmarked by County Ordinance for the Commission.
