November 4, 2013 (Work Session) Page 1805 As of September 2013, the QSCB fund has earned $12,298.00 in interest. Interest can only be spent on the defined projects listed to the state in the initial application, per bond counsel. Last month, the balance of Kannapolis City Schools funds was approved for the purchase of a generator for Kannapolis Intermediate School (KIS). The balance of the funds needed for the purchase was provided by the County's fund balance in the amount of $38,138.00. A request is being made to allocate the interest earnings to the KIS generator purchase and to reduce the County's fund balance contribution, respectively. Interest will continue to be earned until all the funds are expended. A final adjustment between fund balance appropriated and interest earnings will need to be made at the close of the fund.
