AGENDA ITEM NO. 8: Acknowledge Sales Tax Report received December 2013.
Diane Smith, Assistant to Finance Director, reported that the December Sales Tax receipts were down $34,433.00. Last month the city was up $246,000.00 and there was an issue of $94,000.00 that Cynthia Sementelli, Finance Director, thought was submitted to Shawnee in error. It turned out that an error was made and the overpayment was withheld from this month’s revenue check. So while our revenue amount this month is down, removing the $94,000.00 amount sent in error, still shows sales tax is up by $59,566.00. Year to date we are up $442,843.00 or 5.47%. December sales tax received was $1,315,025.00.
