Since <br /> that time, the costs of improving and maintaining the County's roads, highway <br /> infrastructure and mass transit operations has steadily increased. The Department of <br /> Public Works and Mass Transit Agency propose an incremental fuel tax increase over the <br /> next three fiscal years, with the final increase to occur during Fiscal Year 2019-20 in <br /> order to ensure the County's ability to address these needs. <br /> Enclosed is a resolution authorizing the County to increase the existing fuel tax of 8.8 <br /> cents per gallon incrementally from FY2017-18 through FY2019-20 to a final rate of 23 <br /> cents per gallon. <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Aaron Brown of Public <br /> Works, at 961-8463. <br /> /� �' <br /> Collins Tomei <br /> Director of Finance <br /> APP ( VED - <br /> i, <br /> Harry Kim <br /> Mayor <br /> Enc. <7\e5t-Ra_11> <br /> comm.
