I agree that <br /> 43rd Avenue is a primary thoroughfare that serves both City and County residents, but that does not <br /> make its funding the responsibility of the City. According to the latest census figures (2010) the traffic <br /> impact to roadways within the County from City residents has decreased, while the impact from <br /> County residents has increased. <br /> The County receives revenue from fuel taxes that are not available to municipalities (constitutional <br /> fuel tax, county fuel tax, and 9th cent fuel tax). These revenue sources are for transportation <br /> expenditures including the acquisition of rights-of-way. The County also receives the majority of the <br /> Local Option Gas Tax (72.3% this year) while the City is set to receive 10.2%. Further, all City <br /> residents are County residents and pay property taxes to the County as well as the City. <br /> Can you advise if the County has made similar requests to other municipalities? If yes, please <br /> provide the documentation for our review. And if no, why not? <br /> Monte. <br /> From: Chris Mora [mailto:cmora@ ircgov.com] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2015 10:27 AM <br /> To: Falls, Monte <br /> Cc: O'Connor, Jim; Wesley S.
