<br />to pay the whole load next year of worker's compensation, and it's about $87,000 for the
<br />General Fund share. However, this is still an increase from this year's appropriation
<br />because we had a 75% credit in this year's premium payment.
<br />5) The November income tax collection has sustained the gain that October had and
<br />actually stopped the trend of flip-flopping every other month. Through 11 months of
<br />collection, we are at 2 1/2% and, even with a marginal December, we will at least meet
<br />our projections. If it stays aY 2 112%, that equates to about $250,000 city-wide, which is
<br />about $175,000 for the General Fund. However, there is a caution because December's
<br />collections are the most volatile. Last year we were at the same 2 1/2% over plan and
<br />December's collection brought it down to 1.1% over plan.
