These are sometimes difficult <br /> to measure, but nonetheless, it is important <br /> at this time to recognize indicators to allow <br /> adjustments at an early stage of decline. <br /> Building permits are a barometer of economics <br /> strength. We do want to continue monthly comparisons <br /> with the past two years to determine what action <br /> should be taken to accommodate revenue declines, <br /> i f any. <br /> Property tax collections this spring and fall will <br /> be monitored closely and compared with previous years <br /> to determine possible fiscal strains.
