Of the remaining 40 cents, 26 cents goes to the General Fund, six cents goes to Solid Waste, three cents goes to Capital Improvements, two cents goes to the Stormwater Fund, two cents goes to the Bond Fund, and one cent goes to the Development Authority.
The 26 cents in the General Fund is divided into six categories – police, fire, general government, public works, recreation and community/ economic development.
