Howdy to all! Lately, I've been trying to learn about the City of College Station's growth management initiatives. This process has included reviewing the annual operating budgets. I thought I'd take a few mintutes to share some interesting tidbits of information that I've come across.
Did you know that according to the City of College Station's current, FY 2008, annual operating budget? http://www.cstx.gov/docs/fy08_final_approved_120907.pdf
- In 2006, College Station sales tax revenues was $16,748,283.
- In 2006, College Station ad valorem (property) tax revenues was $16,646,519.
Sales tax revenues obviously have a significant impact on College Station's budget. Despite what the consultant's, Kendig Keast Collaborative, Growth Management Plan report states, the staff and City Council members should remember that persons living in the extra territorial jurisdiction and in the other parts of the county ARE helping fund the City's operations every time they shop in College Station.
Note: final numbers for the FY 2007 year have not been posted online yet.
