PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, Monroe County adopted Ordinance No. 016-2009 which imposed a three-
cent gas tax under the authority of F.S. 336.025(1)(b)beginning January 1, 2010 which is
codified in Monroe County Code Section 23-235; and
WHEREAS, The County is authorized under F.S. 336.025(1)(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
imposed under in accordance with F.S. 206.41(1)(e); and
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
WHEREAS, in order to seek additional funding that is needed to maintain and make the
necessary repairs to the County's road and bridges, it is recommended that by imposing an
additional 2-cents that the County may generate an additional $951,900.00 annually, which is
shared with the cities and therefor the County's share would be approximately $430,353.99
annually for County road projects; 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, while special assessments may still be necessary to address the road
evaluation and drainage improvement projects, imposing a five-cent tax will provide additional
revenue that is needed for upcoming projects;
WHEREAS, this ordinance rescinds and reimposes the three-cent tax with the addition
of the 2-cent tax so that the two are aligned and will have the same expiration dates; and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance must be approved and transmitted to the Florida Department
