Rawlins City Council last week authorized using money from the General Fund Reserves to pay for Sixth Penny Specific Purpose Tax projects decided on by voters. Council had previously determined that it would prefer to use its reserves rather than issue bonds for the projects, such as improving Edinburgh and Walnut Streets. The money will be put back in the reserve account when the city receives its distribution from the one-penny tax. Cali O’Hare has the story.
