THE, THE DISTRICT, THE SALES TAX FOR THE DISTRICT, IT'S 1.8% SALES TAX, UH, 1.8% OF A PENNY SALES TAX AND IT'S 1.645 MILLION FOR SALES TAX.

NOW THIS REPORT IS BEHIND BY ABOUT SIX MONTHS OR THREE MONTHS.

MM-HMM .

YOU HAVE FOUR MONTHS LEFT TO EARN SALES TAX IN A YEAR.

AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THAT'S 8.6, THAT'S $8,867,000

SO YOU'RE GONNA WIND UP WITH ABOUT 2.5 MILLION AS OPPOSED TO THAT'S 2.15 MILLION AND OPPOSED TO 2 20 23, YOU HAD 2.575 MILLION.

THAT'S ABOUT A 2% DECREASE IN SALES TAX REVENUE.

YOUR INVESTMENTS, YOU GET A 5.13 INVESTMENT RATE ON A $3 MILLION HOLDING FOR THE YEAR.

AND ON PAGE 14 IS YOUR HOLDING.

SO LEMME TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? UM, I'LL, I'LL JUST TELL YOU HAVE A $356,000 DECREASE IN YOUR FUND BALANCE AND THAT JUST COMES FROM HIGHER EXPENDITURES THAN REVENUE DUE TO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ARE ALRIGHT? THANK YOU.
