CITY OF NORTH LAUDERDALE

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

 

To:                  Honorable Mayor and City Commission

 

From:              Richard D. Sala, City Manager

 

By:                  Debra Sears, Finance Director

 

Date:               May 13, 2008

 

Subject:           2008 Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between Broward County and City of North Lauderdale providing for Division and Distribution of the Proceeds from the Broward County Fifth Cent Additional Local Option Gas Tax on Motor Fuel for Transit – (One-Cent)

 

The City receives its allocation of Motor Fuel Tax Credit through an interlocal agreement with Broward County.  City’s use of this revenue source is unrestricted.  The amount that the City receives is based on sales of motor fuel as determined by a distribution formula.  The County revises this tax revenue allocation annually to reflect changes in the population of Broward County municipalities.

 

The County’s revised Motor Tax Credit allocation to municipalities, including that of North Lauderdale, is reflected in the attached 2008 Amendment to Interlocal Agreement.  The “transit gas tax” adopted in 2000 provides for the Cities to receive a total of 26% of the proceeds of one cent of gas tax.

 

The City’s collection of the local option gas tax on Motor Fuel for Transit will be an allocation of 0.627371% based on the City’s population of 42,269, as stated in the most current edition of “Florida Estimates of Population,” published by the Bureau of Economics and Business Research, Population Division, University of Florida. In 2007, the City’s share of revenue was $45,000 but we anticipate at least a five percent reduction this year.

 

Recommendation:

 

The City Administration recommends Commission’s consideration and approval of the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor and the City Manager to execute 2008 (one cent) Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between the City and the County and providing for division and distribution of the proceeds from the Broward County Fifth Cent Additional Local Option Gas Tax on Motor Fuel for Transit.
