codified in Monroe County Code Section 23-235; and
WHEREAS, The County is authorized under F.S. 336.025(l)(b)to impose up to 5-cents
(an additional 2-cents)to be levied on every gallon of motor fuel sold in the county to be

WHEREAS,the local option gas tax shall be levied by an ordinance adopted by a
majority plus one vote of the membership of the governing body of the county; and
WHEREAS,the County maintains approximately 312 miles of roads and 26 bridges in
unincorporated Monroe county and the cost to maintain,repair, and provide the necessary
drainage and constructions to the County's roads and bridges is well above the current collection
of the County's portion of the gas tax imposed; and

necessary repairs to the County's road and bridges, it is recommended that by imposing an
