If the City of Boerne moves ahead with the new city hall project, will it completely wipe out the general fund?
No. The city is required by law to keep at least a three month reserve in the general fund. The City of Boerne does better than that and has a six month reserve in the general fund. We cannot, and will not, deplete the general fund ever.
The nationally known financial rating agencies, Moody's and Fitch, recently reviewed the city's financial picture, its policies and future known major projects. Both rating agencies upgraded the City of Boerne bond ratings.
