Evans City's proposed budget for 2022 appears to include a small operating deficit.

The budget, which will be considered by borough council at its monthly meeting Monday, projects nearly $1 million in expenditures. Excluding the receipt and transfer of funds as a result of the American Rescue Plan Act — Evans City received $89,492 from the federal program — the borough will fund its expenses in part via an $89,000 transfer from savings should the budget pass.

Without the $89,000 transfer from savings, the borough would be receiving $795,445 via taxes, rent, sales of assets and other sources of income.
