Treasurer reports strong sales tax receipts; committee queries vague vendor entries
Summary
The treasurer reported robust March sales‑tax receipts ($204,560.40) and outstanding current taxes of $11,000,615.02; committee members asked staff to add clearer memo text on voucher listings after encountering a vague $50 'State of Wisconsin' line item.
Treasurer Annie presented the voucher payment summary and monthly financials, highlighting $204,560.40 in sales tax receipts for March and outstanding current taxes of $11,000,615.02 with delinquent taxes of $953,174.36.
During review of the voucher listing, members asked about a vague $50 payment listed only as "State of Wisconsin." Treasurer staff said the $50 related to highway project payments and agreed to follow up; staff asked Kristen Thompson (listening online) to provide clarification after the meeting.
Members also raised standardization requests to improve vendor memo text so that future voucher lists clearly indicate whether payments are for withholding, registration or other routine items. The committee placed the vouchers on file following the review.
