A Look at GMSA's 07-08 Budget
(second of two parts)
The Grove Municipal Services Authority Budget for 2007-08 approved by City Council is even larger than the city's budget, with total expenses set at $13,326,498 and revenue of $13,706,203 and only $8400 in the General Fund's contingency and zero in the Capital fund. This is down from last year's expensed budget of $16,426,000 and income of $16,703,000 due to fewer capital improvement costs.
On the income side, biggest receipts will be from sale of gas, at $4,872,000, and water sales at $1,424,000. The City of Grove gets its water free, from the Grand Lake intake on Honey Creek.
