Mayor Elumbaugh asked Councilmember Bryant to give a report on the City's <br /> sales tax collections. Councilmember Bryant, who has done extensive research on <br /> sales tax collections for the past couple of years, gave the council a comparative report <br /> for the past 12 months for both the county one cent sales tax and the Wastewater one <br /> cent sales tax.
