As presented in the graph above, property taxes account for 79.4 percent of <br />General Fund revenues. The City has received a significant amount of other revenue in the form of <br />licenses, permits, and charges for services relating to new development in past years, but these sources <br />have leveled off in recent years. <br />During 2014, tax sources reflect an increase of $1,266. The City received $69,159 more <br />intergovernmental revenue in 2014, due to an increase in local government aid received in the current <br />year. The 2014 increase in the category for “all other” ($53,846) above includes an increase in investment <br />earnings as previously discussed for the improved market value of investments. <br />-10- <br /> <br />
