Title

Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for the Distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax (B)

This is a request for the City Commission aproved the second amendment to Interlocal Agreement for the Distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax.

Explanation

Section 336.025, Florida Statutes permits the County the authority to levy local option gas tax upon every gallon of motor fuel and special fuel sold in the County and taxed under the provisions of Chapter 206, Fla. Stat.  Alachua County levied the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th cents of the Gas Tax and distributed the proceeds in accordance with an Interlocal Agreement with the City Of Gainesville effective September 1, 1985.

The City Commission approved the First Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for the Distribution of the 4^th, 5^th and 6^th cents of the Local Option Gas Tax at the May 7, 2015 meeting. The First Amendment extended the Interlocal Agreement to August 31, 2016.  The Florida Department of Revenue has requested Alachua County set an expiration date of December 31, 2016 for the Ordinance authorizing the Local Option Gas Tax. This action requires a Second Amendment to Interlocal Agreement to extend the expiration date to December 31, 2016.

Fiscal Note

In FY14, the total revenue from the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th cents was $3,262,088.18.  The City received $1,087,253.99.

Recommendation

The City Commission: 1) approve the Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement for the Distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax with an expiration date of December 31, 2016; and 2) authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
