A report which will be in front of council this Wednesday (September 12) from commissioner of finance Jack Gartely shows the Region's cash on hand and investment position on July 31 stood at $28,581,000. All but $300,000 of this amount was invested in short term deposits with an average interest rate return of close to 12 per cent. By comparision, Dur- ham had $24.6 million cash on hand on July 31 a year ago. In his report to the council, Mr. Gartley says there are three main reasons why the cash surplus has in creased by more than $4 million in a 12 month period. Reserve fund bal- ances are up to $1.5 million; the increase in the year end surplus for water, sewage and gar- bage dump operations is $959,000; and the "annual fluctuations in receipt and payment of funds' has increased by $1.3 million. Durham's cash on hand position has improved dramatically in the past couple of years. Just two years ago, the figure was less than $20 million, and in February, 1982, the amount had dipped to about $2.5 million. In a separate report to council, Mr. Gartley predicts that the Region will end up with a surplus of about $245,000 on the general levy operations in 1984, and all departments are operating within the 1984 budgets. oo mmmmmmmm--_------------------ PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, Sept. 11, 1984 -- 9 Orchestra.
