Sales tax including 5% contingency not to be spent except for council action to consider cost of living raises is on schedule. On expenditures there is a problem in-that we have already spent 52.8%. Also police department expenditure is over because of excessive overtime. Revenue sharing nnney has been spent that has not been charged to revenue sharing on ambulance, civil defense, computer payments, floor finishing machine and street department. Park Deparmtnet money needs to be spent and then reimbursement from the state must be made.
