Step one
Spend your ward's $571,000
Move the sliders. Watch the money land. Two buckets are legal today. Two would take a change in city law, and they are labeled so.

What it could become Would take a change in law
Set aside money at interest and the scholarships never stop.
Move the scholarship reserve slider to see how many graduating seniors your ward could send off every year, without ever spending the principal.
The scholarship and event buckets are not how ward capital works today. Ward capital is restricted to capital improvements. The city has already earned and appropriated interest on idle public funds, so the reserve idea is grounded in something real. It would still take a change in city law.
Step two
