Meeting Date: April 16, 2008 - KW Division County Attorney
Bulk Item: Yes - No ..lL Staff Contact Person: Suzanne Hutton
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
A public hearing for approval of an Ordinance to impose a ninth-cent local option motor and special fuel
("gas") tax.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County imposes a six-cent local option gas tax on motor fuel. The State mandates a County fuel
tax on diesel fuel under FS 206.87 and the County gets a portion of that from the State. At the
November 14, 2007 meeting of the BOCC, discussion was held concerning the depletion of the
County's gas tax reserves due to increased costs, the state legislature's limitations on ad valorem
taxation, and the inability of the County to continue to service the road and bridge system and to
conduct critical renovations for bridges nearing their 50-year life span. Options were provided to the -
BOCC to increase the gas tax or to levy special assessments. The BOCC directed staff to pursue the
gas tax increase.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
Ordinance No. 16-1989 approving extension of the six-cent "gas" tax authorized by F.S. 336.025(1)(a).

provided in F.S. 336.021; and
.- .".
WHEREAS, Florida Statute Section 206.87(1)(b) mandates a "ninth-cent" fuel tax to be
levied on diesel fuel, to be levied and distributed according to F.S. 336.025; and
WHEREAS, the County has been receiving from the State a distribution of the mandate
fuel tax on diesel fuel; and t
WHEREAS, current gas tax expenditures cover Maintenance, Engineering, Street Lights
and Traffic Signal, distribution to municipalities, 7-year plan and cost allocation;
WHEREAS, the gas tax fund balance has been steadily declining since FY 2001 due to
annual expenditures exceeding annual revenues; and
WHEREAS, Momoe County maintains 389 miles of roads in the unincorporated county
and resurfaces those roads as needed;
WHEREAS, there are 28 bridges in the unincorporated county which are maintained by
the County and most of those bridges were built in the 1960s with a 50 year life span; and
WHEREAS, there are approximately 10 years left with no funds available for major
renovations necessary to extend the useful lives of the bridges which are maintained by the
County;
WHEREAS, drainage systems need to be added or restored, requiring reconstruction and

Ninth Cent Fuel Tax Ordinance 2008 1
WHEREAS, the County is seeking to enact an ordinance imposing an additional five (5)
cents local option fuel tax to generate approximately $250,000.00 per penny (or $1,250,000.00)
per year; and "
WHEREAS, an additional ninth~cent local option fuel tax on motor fuel is needed to
provide funding, particularly for the renovations of the bridges and other critical major

WHEREAS, an additional ninth-cent local option fuel tax on motor fuel can be
accomplished by a majority plus one vote of the BOCC or by an ordinance creating a referendum
on the November 2008 ballot; and
WHEREAS, implementation of an additional gas tax will spread the costs to both
residents and visitors using the County's roads as opposed to special assessments which would
place the full burden on County residents; and
WHEREAS, unless a revenue source additional to the existing local option fuel tax can
be secured, the current level of services will have to be reduced and the delay for needed road
restorations and reconstructions and necessary revitalization of bridges will continue; now "- ""'

Shifts county-wide employees that work from Marathon base to the
Upper and Lower Keys.
);> RECOMMENDATIONS:
Use reductions and the proposed 1, to build reserves to enable
individual project planning as part of the "7 Year Plan";
Cautionary Note: According to a 2006 Report recently published by NACO, total
highway spending by all governments increased 44.7% from 1987 to 2004; and
76.5% of highway miles remained local, as opposed to state (20.4%) and federal
(3.1 %). Additionally, the report stated that nationwide only 10% of the local
responsibilities for road-building and rehabilitation are funded by motor fuel tax.
That means most other jurisdictions nationwide supplement motor fuel tax nine-
fold from other revenue sources to meet their road responsibilities.
