Last year we asked the county to consider sharing that resource and learned that legally one taxing entity cannot tax on behalf of another, which means they can t tax wheel tax and just turn it over to us. We are requesting that Marathon County begin to establish a process by which urban municipalities, not just us, can submit projects for scoring and ranking through a matrix and then look for a mechanism where they can cost share on those projects. She noted the projects are specifically geared toward county highways that run through urban incorporated areas. The City of Wausau maintains approximately 10 miles of county highway within its borders and does not get assistance from the county. She commented Wausau represents 30% of the county s total revenue stream, yet the wheel tax collected from residents cannot be used within Wausau s borders. Neal commented he had conversations with countless residents who did not understand that the tax was not applicable to streets and bridges within their own city limits. This action is an official request for fairness and helps bring it before the public s eyes so they understand what is going on and how we re trying to address it /12/2017 7:59:08 PM Motion by Nutting, second by Rasmussen to adopt a Resolution of the Finance Committee amending the Procurement Policy regarding approval of attorney professional services Page 4 of 6
