However, disbursements exceeded receipts, totaling $16,292,259, resulting in an ending balance of $62,519,738 for the month.

Notably, the report highlighted that the general fund balance includes $7,568,506 designated as American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. This financial overview was accepted unanimously by the council, indicating a smooth approval process.
