Anderson seeks $1.5 million from Shasta County to bridge payroll gap
Anderson officials describe a cash-flow gap, with repayment expected when January tax revenue arrives.
The City of Anderson California is asking Shasta County for a temporary $1.5 million transfer to keep payroll and city operations covered while it waits for revenue. Officials describe the request as a cash-flow issue, according to reporting by KRCR and Daily Redding.
Councilmember Mike Gallagher told KRCR the city used the program last year and expects nearly $5 million in January tax receipts to repay it. He also cited delayed reimbursements, including FEMA project payments dating to 2017. Officials said the city is not going broke.
A published agenda listing placed the county's Temporary Transfer of Funds Program before a special Anderson council meeting scheduled for November 9th. KRCR reported that councilmembers approved requesting the transfer.
The materials reviewed do not confirm county approval or a completed transfer.
