3. Of amending Lake County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, entitled Gas Taxes,

BCC - Regular Board Meeting - 2nd Tuesday · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed amendment to Lake County Code, Chapter 13, Article II, related to gas taxes. The proposal involves adding a new section to allow for a 5-cent local option fuel tax on every gallon of motor fuel sold in the county. This tax would only take effect if approved by voters. The measure is currently under review, with a recommendation for adoption and execution of an ordinance. While the fiscal impact is not yet determined, this process could lead to future infrastructure or public works projects funded by the tax. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in the construction and utility sectors may find opportunities as the project moves forward. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand potential project scopes and prepare for future bidding opportunities.
