ORDINANCE NO. TBD 17-01: VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Longview Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was formed on December 15, 2016, by the Longview City Council pursuant to City of Longview Ordinance No. 3334, effective January 19, 2017. Formation of the TBD included adoption of the TBD’s initial Transportation Improvements Plan (TBD Plan), but did not include adoption of any source of revenue to fund TBD activities. Establishing revenue for the TBD is determined by the governing board of the TBD.
On January 26, 2017, the TBD Board held its first meeting, elected its officers, approved an interlocal agreement with the City of Longview to provide administrative and technical support to the District, approved its operating bylaws, and set a public hearing for February 9, 2017, to consider establishing a vehicle license fee to provide funding to complete projects identified in the TBD Plan. Attached for your consideration is a proposed ordinance establishing a $20 vehicle license fee, along with a staff report with information regarding TBD funding authority and details about vehicle license fees.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Ordinance No. TBD 17-01.
