Commission outlines use of Rebuild Alabama gas tax revenue for county roads, names roads to be paved
Summary
County officials reported that roughly half of state gas tax revenue will pay for materials and the other half for paving roads in-house. Roads named for this cycle include South Shores Crest, Edwards Lake, Marsh Mountain and Bollinger Road.
Jefferson County commissioners heard a report on how the county will use Rebuild Alabama gas and diesel excise tax revenue and approved funding agreements for road work and materials.
A commissioner reported that the county receives gas tax money from the state (Rebuild Alabama) and said the county spends approximately 50% of those funds on materials and 50% on roads performed by in-house forces. For the current cycle, the commissioner named South Shores Crest, Edwards Lake, Marsh Mountain and Bollinger Road as roads to be paved or improved; the remaining half of the gas tax receipts will be used to purchase materials for the county's in-house paving forces.
The commission moved and approved the related funding agreements and items for the public-works program by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" but no roll-call tally. Commissioners did not provide a detailed line-item budget or the total amount of state gas tax revenue at the meeting; staff described the general allocation approach and the list of roads to be worked on.
The transcript does not specify contract numbers, bid solicitations, or precise schedules for each road.
Staff will handle procurement and scheduling for in-house crews and material purchases; the meeting record does not include further conditions or oversight directions beyond approving the funding agreements.
