Under the column titled “Source”, General Fund revenues are delivered from property taxes, income taxes, and various other taxes which are collected by the State of Illinois or St. Clair County and are distributed by the City of O’Fallon to the Department of Public Works. Prop S revenues come from a ˝% tax on general merchandise sold in the City of O’Fallon which is used by Public Works.
