Groton has a sweep account with Merchants. We do not directly make any deposits to it. It is attached to our General Fund and if the General Fund balance goes over $50,000 the overage is automatically swept into the sweep account. If the balance goes below $50,000 in the General Fund then money is swept back in (if there is any in the sweep). FEMA funds are deposited into our General Fund.
