Paris, Tenn.–At Thursday night’s meeting of the Paris City Commission, Finance Director Traci Shannon reported no findings on the state audit of the city’s finances. She said auditors will make a presentation at the city commission’s February meeting.
City Manager Kim Foster also noted that the city has added more revenue to the fund balance account.
After eight months of positive growth in the city of Paris’ retail sales tax revenue, the city hit a flat month in October, Shannon said adding, “We are still ahead for the fiscal year to date by 1.49%.”
General Fund revenues were ahead of expenditures for the month of November and the city is still running behind fiscal year-to-date, but expect to catch up in the next few months with the help of property tax revenue. A few of the city’s larger expenses in November included a vehicle lift for Garage, dumpsters for Sanitation, engineering fees for the Rison St. bridge replacement, and annual audit fees.
The city issued seven business licenses in November:
New business: The Hat Club, Takeout 2 You, Patriots Seal Coating, West TN Repair
Solutions, Paris Keys N More, Exit Realty Blues City, Farmers Home Furniture
