as follows: WHEREAS, the Iowa Association

Board of Supervisors recognize 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

tax, which has not been significantly increased
since 1989, while maintenance and construction costs have more than doubled during that

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,
Grundy County has considered issuing bonds
to pay for its most critical roadway and bridge
needs. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
that the Iowa State Association of County Supervisors and the Grundy County Board of
Supervisors strongly encourage the implementation a long-term, sustainable transportation
funding solution to address the critical needs of
our infrastructure system, including the following: 1. 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. 2.
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. 3. Increase the permit fee for oversize/
overweight vehicles. 4. 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 Grundy County

increased RUTF funding. The vote on the resolution was as follows: Ayes – Smith, Bakker,
