Mayor Slay Presents
Service Awards
Mayor
Francis G. Slay presented the 2007 Mayor’s Service Awards to city
employees at a ceremony May 15.
The Mayor’s Service Award was created in 1994 in an effort to recognize
and reward City employees who go above and beyond the call of duty
in the performance of their jobs and who have made significant contributions
to the quality of City services.
Through dedication to their jobs, they have helped to improve the
image of the City, its employees, and exemplify what true public
service should be about.
This year, the selection committee reviewed more than 40 nominations
for the 2007 Mayor’s Service Award.

City
Earnings Tax Update
The April 15th deadline to file income taxes has come and
gone. Our employees in the Earning Tax Division deserve the highest
praise for their diligent work through this very busy time.
The federal stimulus checks have prompted more taxpayers to file
this year by the April 15 deadline instead of filing extensions.
Consequently, the office processed 25 percent more tax returns than
this time last year, which produced an $8 million increase in revenue.
However, since taxpayers filed early this year we feel that the
increase will level out and stay around an increase of $3 million
for the year.
The large amount of early tax returns created a tremendous workload
increase in our office, and employees worked arduously to ensure
rapid and accurate processing. I am very proud of them.
The City Earnings Tax was a hot topic in Jefferson City during this
legislative session that ended on May 16.
