Sales Tax collections still up
At the City Council meeting, Thursday, April 24, the Department Heads presented reports to the council members.
CFO Luke Feighert said his department was getting caught up. Our numbers still look good. “We are still waiting to be reimbursed for the Camp Jack remodel.”
Mayor Jerry Jackson added, “With this grant type, we have to spend it. The government qualifies it and pays us back. It’s a hurry-up and wait mode. We have probably lost about $50,000 in interest waiting for repayment.”
Feighert said sales tax collections are still up over last year. The Mayor pointed out the numbers in reserves to the council members.
“Yes,” Feighert said. “We have a good number in reserves. But we have some big projects coming up that will need this money. The City is paying for the Goblin Drive project, and we are paying a portion of the ARDOT project at Hester Drive.”
