* Property tax is 0.2%, or $56,000, above target.

Ongoing retail sales tax is 25.6%, or $10.7 million, above target. One-time retail sales tax, which primarily relates to construction, is $30.2 million through September 30, 2022.
* Utility & other taxes are 7.6%, or $1.4 million, above target primarily due to an electric and gas utility tax spike.
* Intergovernmental revenues are 5.5%, or $1.6 million, above target primarily due to the second half of the American rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant award, which was received in August 2022.
* License & permit fees are 22.2%, or $4.5 million, above target primarily due to the high level of development activity.
* Total expenditures are 6.6%, or $14.1 million, below target primarily due to position vacancies, reduced spending on travel and training, and the budget adjustments adopted by ordinance on August 17, 2021.
