Re: Monthly Department Report – September 2019
Lodging (Tourism) LOT:
Four Local Option Tax (LOT) projects were funded in the month of September. Please see the attached LOT Disbursement report. The Library Expansion is the last contingent LOT left on
the list for the 2019 Funding. Incoming funds for September have yet to come in. The Tourism and Streets LOT revenue projections are attached. As reflected in the attached reports,
our collection of LOT is starting to level off. It appears that we will not have any surplus Tourism LOT funds this year. The Tourism LOT will fund all projects and all but one project
on the contingency. The Library Expansion project is on the Contingency for $149,890, and while we should be able to fund some of this project, it is unlikely that it will be fully
funded.
