Subject: October 2011 Sales Tax Collections

October sales tax receipts, which are based on August sales, were well above prior year collections.
As shown in the chart below, collections were $3,727,653, an increase of $354,463 or 10.5% from
the previous year. Collections to date are $2,931,212 over the prior year, a 7.44% increase. This
increase is the result of a very strong Christmas season which was followed by five months of
collections comparable to the prior year and significant increases for the last three months. The
annual projected revenue is approximately $4.4 million below peak revenues of $50.6 million in
2008.
