He asked everyone to review the tables pertaining to the Municipal Sales Tax/State Use Tax. Combined there is $744,920.62. This is ahead of where the city was at this time last year. There are pages that show previous years. He also touched on the Non-Home Rule Sales Tax.
The Video Gaming Tax is down from a year ago, according to thelatest receipts.The overall trend is up though. The city is about $14,000 ahead compared to last year at this point.
Last time he did not include the Utility Tax.This was down a little bit, however, the state is charging the city a 10% processing fee.That was all he had to share before opening the floor to questions. There being none, Mayor Goodman moved to other items on the agenda.
