Question: Shall City of
Summary: The City council adopted Ordinance No. 910 on August 10, 2009. It imposes a $0.02 per gallon tax on motor vehicle fuel sold in the City. The ordinance also repeals the current $2.25 monthly streetlight fee. The streetlight fee ends after motor vehicle fuel tax net revenues reach $100,000. The ordinance requires the use of fuel tax revenue for construction, financing, maintenance, design, repair, operation and use of City streets. Revenue from the fuel tax can be used to
"match" state and federal grants. The City plans to use the fuel tax for specific street construction projects and annual repair of substandard streets.
The tax is scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2010. This measure allows City voters to decide if the ordinance will take effect. If voters approve this measure, the fuel tax will begin and the
streetlight fee will end. If voters reject this measure, the fuel tax will not take effect and the streetlight fee will continue.
