A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY MANAGER, OR DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE THE ATTACHED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY FOR THE DIVISION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BROWARD COUNTY ADDITIONAL THREE-CENT LOCAL OPTION GAS TAX ON MOTOR FUEL.
body
BACKGROUND:
The additional Three-Cent Local Option Gas Tax levied in 1994 will expire on December 31, 2023. The attached Interlocal Agreement (ILA) provides for municipalities to continue receiving 51.27% of the proceeds of the additional Three-Cent Local Option Gas Tax from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2053, and establishes each municipality’s percentage share of the 51.27% proceeds based on updated population figures.
DISCUSSION:
This resolution is necessary in order to continue receiving 51.27% of the proceeds of the additional Three-Cent Local Option Gas Tax and to update the population figure that determines the City’s portion of the 51.27% distribution. Coconut Creek’s population increased from 57,871 to 57,937, pursuant to population figures published annually by the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research, which is used as the “official” population for Florida cities and counties. However, the City’s portion is decreasing from 1.530750% to 1.521814% due to the overall increase in population in Broward County.
Please see the attached letter from Norman Foster, Director of Broward County Office of Management and Budget, explaining this agreement.
