SUBJECT: Motor Fuel Excise Tax Interlocal Agreement
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2007
BACKGROUND: The County Commissioners are considering requesting authority
from the County voters to assess and collect a motor fuel excise tax. They propose that
revenue from the fuel excise tax be apportioned among the County and Cities in
accordance with the attached draft interlocal agreement between those entities.
The County Commissioners are interested in Council's interest, comments, and,
hopefully, approval of the attached interlocal agreement. The County has requested your
consideration as soon as possible to keep this initiative moving forward.

Enclosed please find a draft Interlocal Agreement regarding apportioning of proceeds
from a motor fuel excise tax. The Commissioners are considering requesting authority from the
voters of the County to assess and collect a motor fuel excise tax. If approved, the revenue from
a motor fuel excise tax is apportioned among the County and Cities pursuant to an Interlocal
Agreement executed by those entities.
We would appreciate your presenting this draft to the appropriate City officials and to
your Council and letting us know whether they approve. I have sent this letter to all three City
Attorneys; if need be we could meet and discuss any questions or concerns that City officials
might have regarding this proposal.
