• <br />• <br />City of Vero Beach Public Works Director Cliff Suthard advised that the City's <br />percentage has decreased since the inception of the tax and Interlocal Agreement. Originally <br />it was at 19% and now is a little less than 14%. He agreed with the ordinance and with <br />timely submission of the information and the suggestion by Attorney Stringer. Obviously, <br />they would not ask that the Board make it retroactive. He understood the other areas were <br />having growth, but the City of Vero Beach is impacted by the growth throughout the county <br />as the county's crossroads The City's construction cost per lane mile is significantly greater <br />than in the other areas because of the urban requirements, such as curbs and gutters. <br />Chairman Ginn felt the municipalities should have the obligation to get the <br />information to Public Works Director James W. Davis in a timely manner. <br />Mr. Davis advised that recently the municipalities have been more responsive than in <br />the early years. It is quite an effort to get all the figures together and that was a reason for <br />the past method of reporting and computing every two years. He suggested the Finance <br />Department, under the Clerk of the Court, might be able to further comment on the <br />availability of the transportation expenditures. Because the State's fiscal year period differs <br />from the County's, there is a bit of a problem receiving the audited numbers from the State. <br />Population figures are now current with the recent 2000 census, and are estimated in the <br />between years Lane miles are easy for his department to calculate. It would be great if the <br />cities would put a reminder in their tickler files, and report as soon as the information is <br />available. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard and the Chairman closed the <br />public hearing. <br />March 20, 2001 <br />171 <br />BX 1 s 7 PS 5 L 3 <br />
