The unreserved cash balance for June 2008 is about $892,274 more than the same month in 2007. The larger cash balance this year is, at least partially, the result of higher property tax collections, better DNR Timber revenue, and the fact that the $500,000 loan to the Clocktower Fund was not repaid until late last summer.
