Pensacola City Council authorizes mayor to settle the Six-Cent Local Option Fuel (Gasoline) Tax appeal

The Pensacola City Council voted, 5-0, for the mayor to settle the dispute over the city’s allocation of the Local Option Gas Tax. No presentation was made to the council of what the proposed settlement will be. The only statement from City Administrator Eric Olson was that the city agrees with the percentages proposed by the Board of County Commissioners.

Again the public is left outside the city’s side of the negotiations.
