This has resulted in a 1.66% cumulative year-to-date increase. The reported revenue of $2,688,692 is comprised of $1,792,461 general sales tax revenue and $896,230 half-cent sales tax revenue. The figures from the state comptroller\u2019s office represent receipts from November 2011 collections as there is a two-month lag before taxes are reported and remitted back to the City from the State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast month the City saw a 5.34% increase in our revenue collections,\u201d said City Manager Mark McDaniel (pictured). \u201cSo to see a decrease this month is very surprising. We are investigating the situation to determine if there has been an anomaly that has resulted in this outcome. However, because our year-to-date increase has not stayed over 3 percent, we will be postponing any employee pay adjustments until such time that the revenues reach the level we had committed to in our annual budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Barbara Bass believes the January drop is a normal fluctuation. She says such things happen when businesses are being audited by the state comptroller or when settlements make the fraction go up or down. According to Bass, the decrease is \u201cjust a pre-holiday adjustment.\u201d She adds, \u201cWe\u2019re looking for great things as we continue to move forward and the city continues to grow and just prosper.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER \u2014Tyler\u2019s sales tax revenues deposited for the month of January have decreased 0.8 percent as compared to January 2011.
