Dear Sandr a:
At the meeting of December 7, 1983, the Council of Local Govern-
ments authorized me, as Chairman, to propose a compromise which
would change the current fuel tax distribution and end the con-
troversy which has existed about this issue. The compromise would
be as follows: the portion of the allocation of the fuel tax to
the county (64.89%) and to the seven cities (35.11%) remain the
same. The one change to the current distribution would be that
the 35.11% cities' portion would remain fluid throughout the term
of the tax. The distribution of that 35.11% would be based on
each city's contribution to the transportation improvement effort
based on the previous five years.
If this compromise can be agreed to by the Seminole County Board
of Commissioners, I will then take it back to the Council of Local
Governments for their approval. Such action by the county and
the cities would- make _unnecessary the proposed "clar ificatlon
legislation" and end the bickering that has existed between some
county and city officials concerning this issue.
Sandra, I would appreciate you placing this item on a County
Commission agenda prior to the January 11, 1984, CALNO meeting.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
