Supervisors form work group to study gas‑tax cap feasibility with August deadline for action
Summary
Board members discussed a small work group assembling figures to study a proposed gas‑tax cap; staff said they missed a June 1 deadline and would aim to pass related measures by August 1 with a final September 1 deadline for action.
Board members on May 13 discussed next steps on a proposed gas‑tax cap, with county leaders saying a small internal work group of managers has been formed to assemble feasibility numbers and a timetable for action.
The chair and others said the board missed an initial June 1 deadline and would need to act by Aug. 1 at the latest to meet a Sept. 1 timing window referenced by staff. The chair said he expected a short feasibility report to be available to supervisors within about a week. Members agreed to collect facts and figures and to reconvene or call a special meeting if necessary to meet legislative and budget deadlines.
The board did not vote on any tax policy at the May 13 session; staff will present the work‑group findings and a recommended path forward for board consideration.
