FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE' April 30, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 276 (Eaves)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 276 by Assemblyman Eaves which
increases the annual payment to airports from $5,000 to $10,000;
transfers the sales tax revenue from the sale of jet aircraft
fuel to the Aeronautics Account in the State Transportation Fund;
modifies the definition of "aircraft jet fuel user" for purposes
of determining whether a license tax must be paid for the
privilege of using or selling aircraft jet fuel, and repeals the
refund of motor vehicle fuel taxes paid for use by other than
commercial and agricultural aircraft, and makes the conditions
for refund of aircraft jet fuel taxes paid the same as those for
refunds of motor vehicle fuel taxes paid.
BACKGROUND:
The alterations made to existing law have the effect of
increasing the amount of sales tax revenue being transferred to
the Aeronautics Account for use by airports and eliminates the
refund of motor vehicle fuel taxes paid by other than commercial
and agricultural aircraft, thus increasing the amount of such
funds which are made available for airport purposes. The Airport
Manager believes that passage of AB 276 would substantially
increase the amount of money received by Buchanan Field Airport
and urges the Board of Supervisors to support AB 276. This
office concurs with that recommendation.
