$10 Million Revenue Anticipation Note and Council Authorization
Summary
The city plans to borrow about $10 million short-term to cover cash flow, but most of it should be repaid by January AIM and sales tax revenue. The catch: nobody's sure the treasurer can issue a RAN without council approval, so the council may need to pass an authorizing resolution. Members are also angry they only got verbal notice of the borrowing.
