Guide Manual—Records and Reports for Indiana County Highway Departments

This Guide Manual on Records and Reports for Indiana County Highway Departments has been prepared, in collaboration with the State Board of Accounts, to assist County Road Officials in complying with the statutory requirements. (IC 8-17-4.1) The procedures on the keeping of the forms, the sample entries that demonstrate the use of the forms, and the summary charts, showing the relationship of the several forms to each other, have been reviewed by the State Board of Accounts and are believed to be correct and authoritative. It must be recognized, however, that such a Guide Manual as presented here cannot cover all of the possible procedural policies that exist today or that may arise in the future. Therefore, the information presented herein should be used as broad guide lines, within which, the system of records and reports should be installed for your county highway department

Inventory of Indiana County Bridges

The purpose of this report is to bring county bridge needs into focus-state-wide and county-by-county-through a detailed computerized inventory listing of all existing county bridges. Each county\u27s inventory listing has been further summarized as to the number of bridges by length and width categories, along with an estimated replacement cost. This inventory report thus gives a measure and dimension to the county bridge problem. Hopefully this information will assist local road officials, legislative study groups, and members of the General Assembly in weighing alternate solutions to the financing of county bridge programs

Highway Finance — 1981 Update

This Bulletin --- HIGHWAY FINANCE - Update 1981 --- has been compiled to provide Local Road and Street Officials with a year-end report on the results of the 1981 gas tax legislation, as well as an updated estimate of anticipated revenue for Calendar Year 1982. Total highway-user revenue for 1981 was up some $39 million over 1980 totals; this is about 6$393 million -- a $23 million increase over the July forecast. If the 1982 experience record tracks this updated forecast, then additional funds will probably be available for budgeting in the latter part of 1982. In addition this Bulletin provides Local Road and Street Officials with updated information on the 1980 Excise Surtax and Wheel Tax revenue estimates, procedures, and 1981 results. This program is getting off to a slow start but should eventually gather momentum since these local option highway-user taxes have the potential of generating an additional$40 million for local roads and streets
