Transportation Needs and Tax Levy Resolution No. 14-06-09 (Amended)

Background Information

On June 24, 2014, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 14-06-09 providing funding to be used for highway and street purposes including costs of right-of-way acquisitions and expenses related thereto and construction, reconstruction, maintenance, repair and roadside development of county, city and town roads, streets and bridges and payment of principal and interest on highway and street bonds, and for regional transportation projects that are included in the regional transportation plan of the County prepared by the County, any city, town or regional planning agency; and levying a transportation excise tax to provide moneys for said purposes.

Since that time it was discovered that a couple of minor corrections need to be made to Section 10. Effective Date; Time in Effect of the resolution.

Evaluation

Resolution No. 14-06-09 needs to be amended in order to make some minor corrections to Section 10. Effective Date; Time in Effect of the resolution, as follows:

Section 10. Effective Date; Time in Effect.
The 2014 Gila County ½ Cent Transportation Excise Tax shall take effect on January 1, 2015, if theretofore a majority of the qualified Gila County electors voting at ~~a countywide special~~ the November 4, 2014, general election approves the 2014 Gila County ½ Cent Transportation Excise Tax, and shall be in effect for a period of 20 years from such effective date.

Conclusion

The Board of Supervisors needs to adopt amended Resolution No. 14-06-09 which includes the corrected language as provided by Bryan Chambers, Deputy Attorney Principal.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors adopt Resolution No. 14-06-09 (Amended) establishing the uses, levying a 1/2 Cent Transportation Excise Tax and prescribing the method of distribution of the tax revenue to the County, cities and towns.
