A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BUTLER
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HELD

and Treasurer Vicki Schoneman.
Board considered a Road Use Tax Fund Resolution. Following discussion it was moved by
Heidenwirth, second by Ackerman to approve
as follows:
Iowa State Association of County Supervisors
Resolution
WHEREAS, the Iowa Association of County Supervisors recognizes that a high quality
transportation system serves as the artery for
economic activity and that the condition of the
infrastructure in the State of Iowa is a key element for our future economic growth; and
WHEREAS, an integral part of the State of
Iowa’s Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) is the fuel
tax, which has not been significantly increased
since 1989, while maintenance and construction costs have more than doubled during that
same timeframe; and
WHEREAS, there have been several statewide studies completed over the past 10 years
identifying the requirement to significantly increase the amount of funding for the administration, maintenance and improvements to our
state-wide public roadway system, including
the 2006 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study,
the 2011 Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) study
completed per 2011 Iowa Code Section 307.31,
and the 2011 Governor’s Transportation 2020
Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) created by
Governor Branstad; and
WHEREAS, the 2008 TIME-21 study documented the fact that under today’s funding
structure and highway usage, over 20% of the
travel done in Iowa is by out-of-state drivers
while only 13% of the state’s road use revenues
come from out of state drivers; and
WHEREAS, the funding provided by the implementation of the TIME-21 Fund in 2009 is
inadequate to meet the critical maintenance
and improvements needs for the State of Iowa’s
transportation system; and
WHEREAS, 95% of Road Use Tax Fund revenues are required by the Iowa Constitution to
be spent only on our roadways; and
WHEREAS, due to the severe shortage in
state funding to meet the critical needs of our
roadway system, several Iowa counties have
had to resort to issuing millions of dollars of
bonds to pay for their most critical maintenance
needs, which will have to be paid off through
property taxes; and
WHEREAS, Butler County has issued $0 in
bonds to pay for our most critical roadway and
bridge needs; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Governor’s Transportation 2020 Citizen Advisory Council report to
Governor Branstad and the Iowa Legislature
identified the need for at least $215 million
per year of increased funding over the next 20
years, in addition to the funding being provided
by the TIME-21 revenues, just to meet the most
critical needs of our transportation infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, the Iowa Good Roads Association, the Iowa County Engineer’s Association,
and numerous business related associations
throughout Iowa have publically supported the
call for increased RUTF funding;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that
the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors and the Butler County Board of Supervisors strongly encourages the implementation
a long-term, sustainable transportation funding
solution to address the critical needs of our infrastructure system.
Provide adequate state-wide funding to offset the projected shortfall for our most critical
needs of over $215 million annually through an
increase of the motor fuel tax revenues.
1. Enable the Iowa Department of Transportation to provide primary highway funds to
counties and cities in lieu of federal funds, providing increased efficiencies for state and local
governments.
2. Increase the permit fee for oversize/overweight vehicles.
3. New funding should be distributed consistent with the Road Use Tax Fund distribution
formula.
And, BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that the Iowa
State Association of County Supervisors and
the ButlerCounty Board of Supervisors support
the ongoing evaluation of creative, supplemental solutions to increased RUTF funding.
Resolved this 13th day of January, 2015
The vote thereon was as follows: AYES:
Tom Heidenwirth, Rusty Eddy, Rex Ackerman;
NAYS: None
ATTEST: Lizbeth Williams, County Auditor
Board reviewed the Semi-Annual Report
of the Treasurer and Quarterly Reports of the
Sheriff and Veterans Affairs and ordered placed
on file.
Board approved claims as submitted.
Chairman Heidenwirth adjourned the meeting at 12:05A.M. to Tuesday, January 20, 2015
at 9:00 A.M.
The above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of the minutes and proceedings of a
