The difference is due to the fact that collection of the new revenues does not begin until November of2017 and the collection is for the entire FY 2018/2019.The money will be used for specifically identified road projects. However, this information is preliminary.Legislativeandother rules and policies will need to be established before final numbers become available.Given the circumstances,it is likely that any appropriation of funds would become available midyear inFY 2017/2018. Attached is a copy of the Sales Tax Quarterly Summary Report by Industry, summarizing and comparing the top 10 industry categories in the 4th quarter results of 2016 to the 4th quarter results of 2015. The general categories ofused car dealers, heavy industrial equipment, service stations, grocery stores, family apparel stores and new car dealers display above average results.The City saw a small increase of 1.07%.
