BOCC Oct. 11, 2012

Commissioners McCulloh and Lewis present.

Outside of the usual business – minutes, tax roll corrections, etc. the only activity of note was Eileen Kings’s presentation of the Monthly financial reports from the Treasurer’s office.

She reported that the sales tax revenues have been ahead of the previous year by $20,000 to $30,000 except for July when they were only $3,500 higher. Two factors may have caused this. First, the car show which is usually held in July at Bramlage Coliseum did not occur. This has, in the past, brought thousands of dollars into the county. The other factor may have been the triple digit temperatures which lessened activities in general. Reporting on vehicle taxes, King said that 91.07% of motor vehicle taxes have already been collected- higher than either of the last two years.
