12:03 pm
$36 million that's what we have no our unappropriated fund balance before when i said we have cut $9,000 in our projected reviews based on the 50 percent reduction we used $10 million in theory we have $20 million left in fund balance it probably will go up we say might have savings so it can be used for anything we normally use it for tied to the collection of our fees so inspections and plans that's what our money can be used to supplement our budget so even though we have projects the original funding once we move it into other project funding but the source it that so overall in total we have $39 million in
