No real changes in December …. FYE18 has always been expected to be a down year for
Norman Sales (& Use) Tax collections. It is turning out even worse than expected. All of the
City Budget documents predict a 2.5% increase in sales tax revenues in FYE18, followed
by an increase to 4% (or - inexplicably - 4.25% the latest NF Pro Forma budget) in FYE19
and beyond.

We now have six months of sales and use tax remittances from the state in FYE18, and
things aren’t getting better. December remittances (October collections) were down 3.79%
over the same month last year, and that puts us down (-0.43%) from last year

We have been basically treading water for six months now, so we will need to grow at an
accelerated rate to meet our yearly goal. In particular, the collections for the the rest of
FYE18 will need to be 5.44% better than collections over the equivalent reporting period in FYE17.
