Mr. Olson reported the sales tax are good and that the Christmas figures are a record high
which will be shown on next month's report. On-line sales tax are based on where the
orders are placed from and sales tax plus 1% non-home rule are received. He noted the

give cities the authority to collect the tax

Mr. Fredrickson said the health insurance proposal reflected a 10% increase, however,
that was negotiated down to 6.65% and possibly down to 5.05% if the bundling discount
is taken. He said there will be no change to the contribution rates. This moves to the
regular agenda for City Council.

These fees will expire at the end of this FY, said Mr. Fredrickson, and in order to include
them in next year's budget, they must be renewed annually. They are the same rates as
they have been for a few years and will remain the same through FY29. The committee
was in agreement and this will move to the Council consent agenda.
8. ADM 2024-14 FY25 Travel Authorizations
