City reports steady sales and gambling tax receipts; Department of Commerce scanning grant requires rescans
Summary
Administrative staff reported June sales tax receipts of $69,377 and June gambling tax receipts of $107,993; staff said documents scanned under a Department of Commerce grant had omissions and the vendor will rescan missed or illegible pages at no additional charge.
Peter Boyse, an administrative staff member, reported to the city council on July 23, 2025, that June sales tax receipts for the city totaled $69,377 and the quarter closed at $199,000. He said gambling-tax receipts for June were $107,993 and the quarter totaled $408,000. Boyse also provided an update on a Department of Commerce scanning grant. Staff found documents that were missed or not legible in the scanned set; he said staff expects to finish identifying items that need to be re-scanned by mid-August and that the contractor is under contract to rescan the materials at no additional charge. Boyse told the council the budget advisory committee will meet the following day at 3:30 p.m. to begin work on the 2026 budget, reviewing the first two quarters of 2025 and discussing a budget calendar. He invited questions but no council member requested further action during the meeting. These items were presented as staff reports; council approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting and did not take separate votes on the revenue figures or the scanning-rescan plan during the July 23 session.
