Jamie Hult Staff writer

City staff and leaders are delighted but not necessari- ly surprised to see Brandon bring in $400,000 beyond what was anticipated in sales tax revenue for 2019. The city surpassed the best-guess budget for sev- eral consecutive years, with gradual increases since 2015, according to fi nance offi cer Christina Smith. For 2019, city planners budgeted $2.9 million in sales tax and received $3.3 million. The city has to complete its budget by September each year, which makes it diffi cult to predict what sales tax will be, Smith added. provements projects.
