1. Property taxes of $ 4,000,000 were levied. The city estimates that 1.5 percent of the total levy will prove uncollectible and that $ 2,000,000 (gross) of the $ 4,000,000 tax levy will be collected soon enough to qualify for a 2 percent discount.
2. Property taxes of $ 1,800,000 (gross receivable) were collected within the 2 percent discount period. The remaining taxes are now past due and are declared delinquent.
3. Property taxes of $ 1,550,000 (gross receivable) were collected after the discount period expired, together with late penalties of $ 3,400.

10. A property owner is withholding payment of property taxes pending appeal of the assessed valuation of the property for the current year. The city, attorney believes the appeal will be denied.

12. It was discovered that the purchase of a copy machine for $ 3,850, previously recorded as a capital outlay expenditure of the mayor office (General Fund), was actually made to benefit the public library (Special Revenue Fund).
