MEMORANDUM
After lagging behind budget projections in previous months, sales tax collections rebounded
strongly in May. Collections for May are 9.2% above budget for the month, and also 9.2%
above collections for this month last year.
On a year to date basis, actual sales tax revenue is now 3.3% above budget, and only slightly
behind collections at this time last year. Extrapolating this trend to the end of the year would
result in a revenue surplus from sales tax of $63,000. By comparison, actual year -to -date
collections for 2007, 2006, and 2005 were 6.1 5.5 and 2.0% respectively above
estimated projections.
