Sales tax revenue represents a large portion of the City's revenue source, 48% projected in the FY2021 overall budget. Fees & Service Charges represent 30% of projected revenue in the FY2021 overall budget. Although used for only on-time expenditures, Grants & Reimbursements represent 17% of incoming revenues in FY2021; Other Income representing 5%.

August 2021 Sales Tax receipts are $637,413 (22.5%) more than FY2020 receipts for the same period and $520,125 (17.6%) more that projected in the FY2021 Budget. Historically, the last six months of the year (July - December) we have collected 58%-60% of our annual sales tax during that time. Top three collection months historically is - September, 2nd July, and 3rd October. Calculating in recent collections, I estimated sales tax collection for FY2021 at 16% - 19% over previous year collections.
