Although used for only on-time expenditures, Grants & Reimbursements represent 31% of incoming revenues in FY2019. This is an increase from only 4% in FY2018.

Comparison to Missouri State Sales Tax: The State of Missouri is on a July - June fiscal year where as the City is a calendar year fiscal year. For comparison purposes, the City's sales tax collection for the same period as the State's collection period, was <1.2%> less from the previous year. The State is up 8.8% for the same period vs. the previous year, but it is estimated that State sales tax receipts will level out at approximately 3% growth at year-end, June 2020.*
