“Charlie Fornaciari shot this photo of Commissioner Ronnie Edmonds on June 18, 2012 at Walter Marine in Orange Beach, Alabama, where they were investigating Dixie County television exposure opportunities and deployment of artificial reef materials with Walter’s management. Walter Marine, an artificial reef construction company, manufactures artificial reef materials as shown in the photo, and deploys them for all forms of governmental bodies, federal, state, towns and cities, personal and private use.
The trip was deemed successful by both men and could very well turn out to be an important part of the Dixie County Artificial Reef Program in the future.”

Brief Overview
Local governments are authorized to levy up to 12 cents of local option fuel taxes in the form of three separate levies. The first is a tax of 1 to 6 cents on every net gallon of motor and diesel fuel sold within a county. This tax may be authorized by an ordinance adopted by a majority vote of the governing body or voter approval in a county-wide referendum. Generally, the proceeds may be used to fund transportation expenditures.
The second tax is a 1 to 5 cents levy upon every net gallon of motor fuel sold within a county. Diesel fuel is not subject to this tax. This additional tax shall be levied by an ordinance adopted by a majority plus one vote of the membership of the governing body or voter approval in a county-wide referendum. Proceeds received from this additional tax may be used for transportation expenditures needed to meet the requirements of the capital improvements element of an adopted local government comprehensive plan.
The third is a tax of 1 cent on every net gallon of motor and diesel fuel sold within a county. This tax is referred to as the Ninth-Cent Fuel Tax. The tax may be authorized by an ordinance adopted by an extraordinary vote of the governing body or voter approval in a county-wide referendum. Generally, the proceeds may be used to fund transportation expenditures.
