.* <br />a <br />ORDINANCE 87-19 <br />`i <br />Some state and federal money is available for road improvements. <br />The U.S. Department of Transportation allocates money to the <br />states for the construction, widening, and maintenance of U.S. <br />highways such as U.S. Highway #1 and Interstate 95. The state <br />determines how these monies will be allocated among the various <br />local governments and is responsible for funding the <br />construction, widening, and maintenance of state highways such as <br />State Road 60 and State Road A -1-A. As demand increases in the <br />future and funding resources are available, the state may <br />allocate state and federal funds for some of the projects <br />identified in the County's transportation capital improvements <br />program. For example, the County is anticipating that the state <br />will provide approximately $12,000,000 for the replacement of the <br />Merrill Barber Bridge and construction of Indian River Boulevard <br />North. <br />The revenue available to fund the County's $159,000,000 <br />transportation capital improvements program is summarized as <br />follows: <br />Constitutional Gas Tax $181000,000 <br />Local Option Gas Tax $40,500,000 <br />Traffic Impact Fees $40,000,000 <br />Other Revenue Sources $60,500,000 <br />Total $159,000,000 <br />These figures indicate that approximately 25 percent of the <br />revenue to fund the capital improvements program will come from <br />the local option gas tax and another 25 percent from traffic <br />impact fees. Unfortunately, 38 percent of the funding will have <br />to come from other revenue sources which will not be as <br />dependable as the other specified revenue sources. <br />The provisions of this ordinance shall be incorporated into <br />the County Code and the word "ordinance" may be changed to <br />"section", "article", or other appropriate word, and the sections <br />of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish <br />such intentions. <br />If any section, part of a sentence, paragraph, phrase or <br />word of this ordinance is for any reason held to be <br />unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such holdings shall not <br />affect the remaining portions hereof and it shall be construed to <br />have been the legislative intent to pass this ordinance without <br />such unconstitutional, invalid or inoperative part. <br />The provisions of this ordinance shall become effective upon <br />receipt from the Florida Secretary of State of official <br />
