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 of the Local Option Gas Tax Imposed by the Broward County Local Option Gas Tax Ordinance – (Six-Cent)

 

The City receives its allocation of local option gas taxes through an interlocal agreement with Broward County.  City use of gas tax funds is restricted to our local streets and transportation corridors – some of which is further restricted toward use for capital streets projects.  The County revises this tax revenue allocation to annually to reflect changes in the population of Broward municipalities.

 

The County’s revised gas tax allocation to municipalities, including that of the City’s, is reflected in the 2008 Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement attached.  The amendment covers allocation of the County’s original (six-cent) local option gas tax that provides for all Cities in Broward County to receive a total of 37.5% of the proceeds of six cents of gas tax. The City utilizes this revenue source for the maintenance and general improvements of the City’s roadways.

 

The City’s collection of local option gas taxes will be an allocation of 0.904863% 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 $439,000 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 (six cent) Amendment to Interlocal Agreement between the City and the County and providing for division and distribution of the proceeds of the Local Option Gas Tax Imposed by the Broward County Local Option Gas Tax Ordinance.
