Jasper County sales-tax program shows roughly $11.0 million in receipts; road and green funds detailed

Mr. Larson reported the county's sales-tax program receipts and recent expenditures at the committee meeting.

"To date, the total revenue that has been received from the sales tax program is $11,000,802.05 $74.32," Mr. Larson told members, according to the meeting transcript. He said the program has recorded five collections for the year and suggested reviewing the last four collections to understand collection rates. "Expenses to date for the road fund's 1,537,000. The green fund expenses to date is the 2,000,000," he added, citing the Chelsea Plantation easement as part of the green-fund spending.

The presentation left an available balance of roughly $8.3 million in program revenue, Mr. Larson said. He invited questions about the figures and received none that altered the account presented. The committee did not take formal action on the budget numbers at this meeting; Mr. Larson noted he would double-check ordinance language when next steps related to policies or approvals are required.

The transcript contains an atypical numeric sequence in the sales-tax line ("$11,000,802.05 $74.32"); the committee record provided these words verbatim and staff did not clarify that formatting in the meeting. The reported expense figures and the Chelsea Plantation easement were presented as the primary uses of funds during the discussion.
