Sales Tax data that they have right now is for October, which was received in December at
$242,000.00. Expenditures ended the quarter at $2.5 million which is due to spending that was
not spent last year which is why there is a negative balance at $119,000 that is predicted at this
time. However, once the sales tax money comes in it should off set this to as they project that
$2.2 million in Revenues to come in and Expenditures to come in at $2 million which would give
