Borough Finances 11-28-09

Borough Finances 11-28-09
I visited the Kutztown Borough Office and asked to see the Budget and was given a loose leaf notebook with the 2006 actual, 2007 actual, 2008 actual, the 2009 YTD (10\12), the 2009 Budget and the 2010 budget. These were the headings shown in the report.
For starters the pages were not numbered. I asked for and received copies of the section on Hometown Utilicom which was 9 pages.
On the 9th page under Fund Totals: Telecommunications Fund, was posted
2006 Actual $ (412,172.56)
2007 Actual $ (428,320.36)
2008 Actual $ (560,473.89)
2009 YTD 10\12 $ 498,980.62
2009 Budget $ 2.00
2010 Budget $ 0.00
The figures in parenthesis are negative numbers which proves Telecom loses money and the loss increases every year.
The reason 2009 figures are positive is because the Borough under Bond and Note Proceeds (3rd page) added $900,000.00 and $959,184.00 to the 2009YTD and the 2009 Budget respectively and noted them as revenue.
I will explain the 2006 Actual in this post. I will explain the others in future posts. When you add interest income of $1,875, rent of land $48,624, telemetering $58,848, security services of $85,800, transfer from electric $305,000 and transfer to operations of $194,200 to 2006 actual it equals what HU lost in 2006 which is $1,106,519. The above amounts are from services provided by HU to the Borough. There are more illegal transfers in the report. Don’t forget there are no figures noted as audited.
This can all be seen in the records at the Borough desk, just ask to see the Budget. I will, in the near future analyze the 2007, 8, and 9 budgets which all lose about $1 million a year. I think this is proof that HU is a loser and can’t wait to hear from you. Thanks. As always Jerry

Agenda Update 11-17-09

Agenda Update 11-17-09
The Agenda for the 11-17-09 Council Meeting was made public the day of the meeting. It was made public late because the Council did not want to disclose that the Borough was going to adopt the 2010 real estate rates, amend the electric rates for 2010 and pay Long & Barrell (not to exceed) $29,000 for the 2009 Annual Audit. The Agenda also stated the Borough is going to increase the number of new employees.
More proof that HU loses about $1 million a year is the electric rates and Real Estate Taxes are going up. Now we will wait a month and a half to see the minutes of the meeting. Sincerely, Jerry

11-16-09 No Coucil Meeting Agenda

No Council Meeting Agenda for November 17, 2009

The Borough website states the next Scheduled Council Meeting is on Tuesday November 17, 2009 at 6:30 pm. As of 8:00 pm Monday November 16, 2009 there is no Agenda for the Meeting on the website. I hope Councilman Elect Derrick Mace takes note as to what he is getting into. I congratulate him on being elected and wish him luck at his endeavor. Again this is done intentionally to keep the Borough residents from seeing how the Council and the Mayor are squandering our hard earned tax and utility revenue. At the meetings they very often vote on legislation which is not on the Agenda.
Yours truly, Jerry
