The Pulaski County government saw about a $200,000 increase in its investment revenues in 2019. Treasurer Teresa Bryant recently gave an update to the county’s board of finance.
“It looks really good,” she said. “In ’18, we made a little over $72,000, and then in ’19, we made $115,000 on our investments, as far as our CDs. Our interest earned on our bank accounts, of course, that went up, as well: A little over $316,000 [in 2018]. For ’19, it was $471,500.”
The board of finance agreed to keep its investment policy the same for another year. They also approved the receipt of about $2,700 in un-cashed checks from the county in 2017 back into the county’s accounts.
