ITEM BACKGROUND: The County and the five municipalities share the proceeds of the 6 cent local option gas tax based on a distribution formula that uses each entity's transportation expenditures for the most recent past five fiscal years. The local agencies met in August, 2021 and agreed to update the existing ILA distribution percentages using transportation expenditures from fiscal years 2017 —2021. The updated percentages resulted in the City of Key West's annual share decreasing by approximately $250,000 based on current gas tax revenue proceeds. It is in the best interest of the County to have the City of Key West, as the most populous municipality in the County, approve the updated distribution percentages; therefore, in order to allow Key West to absorb the revenue reduction over time, the County proposes through this ILA to compensate the City for the reduction from the County's proceeds in a decreasing percentage of 25% over a four year period.
