Background of the Transportation Utility Fee
In 2016, the City explored revenue options to improve deteriorating roads.
An ad-hoc Advisory Committee was formed with 14 representatives from local businesses, residents, non-profits, the school district, and others who use the roads.
- The committee met seven times.
- There was a public open house, online open house, and several presentations to community groups.
- The committee explored road conditions, projected costs, current revenue, and how the cost for road maintenance should be balanced through out the city.
The committee recommended that the City implement a Transportation Utility Fee. This is a fee collected from users of the road system based upon projected trips for type. The committee also found that additional funding sources will be necessary to catch up and maintain the growing amount of roads and usage.
City Council reviewed the recommendation and adopted the Transportation Utility Fee (TUF) in May 2017. The Council’s goal is to see improved pavement conditions within ten years while continuing discussions for additional funding sources.
