Monthly Financial Report

Mr. Dubrowski summarized Financial Data through September 30, 2016 and State Shared Revenue

information through December 12, 2016:

• In the General Fund, Property Taxes are up due to a shift in tax rate. A decrease in Charges for

stamps.

SIC Sales Tax Report

Mr. Dubrowski explained that the report was compiled as a result of discussion regarding the

decline in unincorporated sales tax. The report includes data from 2011 through the 2nd quarter

of 2016, for both Peoria and Tazewell Counties. He noted that the one area in which Tazewell

County has been narrowing the gap is in sales of General Merchandise, surpassing Peoria County in

revenues in 2016.

Mr. Dubrowski noted a significant increase in Manufacturers revenues beginning in the 2nd

quarter of 2014 through 2015. Research indicated that in 2013 total manufacturing revenues in

Peoria County totaled $28.9 million, with unincorporated areas accounting for $8.3 million. In

2015, revenue totaled $61.3 million, with an unincorporated portion of $37.2 million. He

commented that revenues are returning to their customary level. He stated that the large rise in

revenues emphasizes the need for information on unincorporated areas from the Department of

Revenue in order to determine an explanation for these anomalies.

Adjournment

The meeting was adjourned by Chairman Fennell at 3:35 p.m.
