Treasurer reports mixed tax receipts; sales tax down amid grocery-tax change
Summary
The village treasurer reported April receipts: sales tax (for January) of $575,590 (down $11,166, -1.9%); MFT allotments of $151,740 (up $3,173, 2.1%); income tax figures in the transcript were unclear but staff said year-to-date collections exceeded the budgeted amount.
The Village of Bartlett treasurer presented the board with the financial summary included in the packet for April 2026, reporting mixed results across revenue streams.
The treasurer stated that sales tax received in April (for January activity) totaled $575,590, which he said was down $11,166 (1.9%) from the previous year, and noted this was the first month with no grocery tax, a change he said will likely affect future comparisons. Motor fuel tax (MFT) allotments for April were reported at $151,740, up $3,173 (2.1%) from the prior year.
The transcript records the income-tax figures unclearly; the treasurer described income-tax collections as higher than the prior year and said that year-to-date the village had budgeted $7.25 million and had received $7.53 million. The exact April income-tax dollar amount was not clearly stated in the transcript and is therefore not specified here.
Board members acknowledged the report and noted state distributions (LGDF) remained steady for now. The treasurer closed his remarks without proposing budget adjustments at this meeting.
