Sales Tax Reporting Methodology Change
Finance wants to add a tax-collections report alongside the taxable-activity report the public sees. Mayor Pro Tem Fruhwirth pushed back on losing the activity report, which is the city's only window into the broader local economy. Staff agreed to keep both and align them by fiscal quarter.
