Resolution # 10-2007
WHEREAS, Senators Rielly and Noble, Chair and Ranking Member respectively of the Transportation Committee, are seeking input concerning transportation needs with public meetings that are being held throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, the Road Use Tax Fund is an important source of support for construction and maintenance projects at the city, county and state level; and
WHEREAS, an integral part of the RUTF is the fuel tax, which has not increased since 1989, and during that timeframe construction costs have more than doubled; and
WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County Supervisor’s Association, the Iowa County Engineer’s Association and a consortium of additional public and private individuals and organizations, has promoted the TIME-21 program (Transportation Investment Moves the Economy in the 21st Century) to underscore that steady deterioration of the construction dollar; and
WHEREAS, TIME-21 supports the Iowa Department of Transportation’s request for an additional $200 million added to the RUTF that would be committed to roadway infrastructure and would be generated by increasing transportation-related fees;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Clayton County Board of Supervisors recognizes the vital role that our transportation system performs for Iowa and encourages the legislature to consider funding alternatives to increase revenue to the Road Use Tax Fund.
/s/ Larry Gibbs, Chairman
/s/ Dennis Freitag, County Auditor
