This is $3 million higher than fiscal year 2017-18 of <br />$22.5 million and is largely attributable to increases in sales tax ($300 thousand) permits and <br />plan check (approximately $700 thousand), jail revenue ($1 million) and Adult -Use Retail <br />cannabis revenue ($712 thousand). <br />Top Six General Fund Revenues <br />Sales Tax received in the first quarter represents only one payment. In October 2018, the City <br />began to receive the unprocessed payments related to fiscal year 2017-18 from the California <br />Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) formerly the BOE. These unprocessed <br />payments are combined with the City's regular sales tax allocation. Staff is currently working with <br />the City's consultant to determine the amounts related to the prior fiscal year. An update will be <br />provided as part of the Mid -Year (Second Quarter) Review. <br />Property Tax received represents a minimal amount of $673 thousand, primarily consisting of <br />unsecured and supplemental property tax and is slightly below the three-year trend of 2.3%.
