General 67 00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:15,420 fund revenues are 34.2 million compared to 32.1 same time a year ago that is 68 00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:20,180 largely due to property tax collections coming in higher than they did a year ago 69 00:05:20,180 --> 00:05:25,180 due to assessed values going up and then our biggest collection of course our 70 00:05:25,180 --> 00:05:32,140 property taxes, which are 31 and a half, which is 61% of what we anticipated at this time. 71 00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:38,840 And February 2025, they're at 29.3 million, which was also 61% of what we expected to 72 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:43,840 come in compared to budget, so we're right on target at our 61% through February. 73 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,080 Ambulance revenue through February is $3.8 million. 74 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:55,220 February 2025, it was $2.8 million, so it's increasing largely due to the increase in 75 00:05:55,220 --> 00:06:01,900 transports where we are seeing in this fiscal year.
