Major Reasons To Maintain An Adequate Fund Balance:
Cash flow through second half of calendar year; business licenses are cyclical
Significant emergencies and unanticipated expenditures
Flexibility for discretionary funding needs
Potential for better interest rates on debt issues (can save the Town money).
To cover potential shortfalls from the state (a) due to budget cuts or (b) as a result of the change in legislation
Unique requirements for a beach coastal municipality.
