Council Minutes of 4-18-2017 • January and February monthly summary and reports were e-mailed to your e- mails today. I thought I had sent January out, so I apologize it is just getting to you. • One thing I'm watching is our income tax collections and they are down from last year. It is down 7% through April so far. Usually May and June are the big collections that will tell us which way it is going. I have been in contact with RITA. I'm still awaiting answers that make sense to me as far as why it's different because every other indicator is things are better.
