SECTION 3. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and
declared that:
(A) The County adopted the Assessment Ordinance and established the
District to provide for the imposition of Assessments to fund all or a portion of the costs
incurred by the County in providing Remediation Services to those Parcels within the
District which contain conditions of nuisance and menace to the public health, safety,
and welfare of the citizens of the County.
(B) The Assessment Ordinance provides for extensive notice to the owners of
affected Parcels in advance of the provision of Remediation Services and the imposition
of Assessments, and ample opportunity for such owners to address the nuisance and
menace conditions themselves and thereby avoid the need for the County's provision of
Remediation Services and resulting Assessment. The Assessment Ordinance also
provides affected owners with mailed notice of a public hearing prior to imposition of
the Assessments and inclusion of the Assessments on the annual property tax bill.
(C) The imposition of Assessments upon affected Parcels to fund the
Remediation Services conveyed to such Parcels is fair and reasonable, and without such
imposition County taxpayers would be required to pay the cost of cleaning up such
properties, and such cleanups would have to be undertaken by the County and funded
by County taxpayers several times a year, in some cases for the same properties.
(D) The conditions and violations contemplated by the Assessment Ordinance
create imminent risks both for the affected property and the broader public health and
create a burden that must be remedied by the County in order to provide for the health,
safety and well-being of its constituents. Remediation Services provided by the County
relieve the burden created by such conditions and therefore convey a special benefit to
the Parcels receiving the services.
(E) Additional special benefits conveyed to such Parcels by the Remediation
Services may include, but are not limited to, preventing decline in property value,
improving aesthetics of property, marketability, and safety by reducing fire hazards
and improving access to the property.
(F) The imposition of non -ad valorem assessment to recover the actual cost
incurred by the county in providing Remediation Services, together with a pro rata
share of administration and collection costs (including amounts necessary to account for
any statutory discount for the early payment of property taxes and non -ad valorem
assessments but excluding any applicable penalty or fine) provides an equitable method
of funding such Remediation Services by fairly and reasonably allocating the cost
thereof to specifically benefitted property.
(G) The Assessment Roll is comprised of Parcels for which the Assessment has
not otherwise been paid in full prior to approval of the roll.
(H) The amount of the Assessment imposed against each Parcel included on
the Assessment Roll reflects Remediation Services provided by the County through
May 1, 2017. The owners of such Parcels may avoid the imposition of additional
Assessments in the future by correcting any nuisance conditions or violations upon
notice thereof provided by the County in accordance with Section 38-28(h) of the
Assessment Ordinance.
(I) The Board is authorized by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act to levy
and collect Assessments, and the Assessment Ordinance established a procedure for the
levy and collection of Assessments by the Board for the purpose of funding the costs
incurred by the County in providing Remediation Services.
(J) The Board hereby finds and determines that the Assessments to be
imposed in accordance with this Resolution provide a proper and equitable method of
funding the Remediation Services and reasonably apportioning the costs thereof among
the Parcels specially benefitted thereby.
(K) The Assessment Roll has heretofore been filed at the office of the County
Engineer and made available for public inspection.
(L) As required by the terms of the Assessment Ordinance and the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act, notice of a public hearing has been published and mailed to
each affected property owner notifying such property owner of the opportunity to be
heard. The proof of publication and an affidavit of mailing are attached hereto as
Appendices A and B respectively.
(M) A public hearing has been duly held and comments and objections of all
interested persons have been heard and considered as required by law.
(N) The Assessments contemplated hereunder will be imposed by the Board,
not the Property Appraiser or Tax Collector. Any activity of the Property Appraiser or
Tax Collector under the provisions of this Resolution shall be construed solely as
ministerial.
(0) The amount of the Assessment imposed against Assessed Property is
based upon the actual cost incurred in providing Remediation Services to such Parcels,
together with a pro rata share of administrative and collections costs involved with the
imposition and collection of the Assessments which is a fair and reasonable method for
apportioning the costs of the Remediation Services and the special benefit conveyed
thereby among Assessed Property, and bears a reasonable relationship to the cost of
providing such services.
(P) The special benefits derived from the Remediation Services provided to
each Parcel exceed the amount of the Assessments levied and imposed against such
Parcel. The Assessment for any Parcel subject thereto does not exceed the proportional
benefits that such Parcel will receive compared to any other Parcel.
(Q) The Board hereby finds and determines that the Assessments to be
imposed in accordance with this Resolution provide an equitable method of funding the
Remediation Services by fairly and reasonably allocating the costs associated with the
Project among specially benefited property.
SECTION 5. IMPOSITION AND LIEN OF ASSESSMENTS.
(A) Assessments are hereby imposed against each Parcel included on the
Assessment Roll, in the amount set forth therein. The Assessment shall constitute a lien
against Assessed Property equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county,
district or municipal taxes and other non -ad valorem assessments. Except as otherwise
provided by law, such lien shall be superior in dignity to all other liens, titles and
claims, until paid.
(B) Any existing lien of record for the Assessed Property shall be supplanted by
the lien resulting from approval and certification of the Assessment Roll as provided
hereunder. Upon certification of the Assessment Roll to the Tax Collector, County staff
is authorized and directed to file a release of the lien of record for the Parcels included
on the Assessment Roll.
SECTION 6. APPROVAL OF ASSESSMENT ROLL. The Assessment
Roll, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix C, is hereby approved. The
Assessment Roll shall be retained by the Assessment Coordinator and shall be available
for public inspection. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the
Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount of the Assessment for each Parcel can
be determined by use of a computer terminal or internet access available to the public.
SECTION 7. COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS. The Assessments
imposed hereunder may be prepaid at any time prior to September 14, 2017. Upon
receipt of any such prepayment made in full, the Assessment Coordinator shall provide
for the filing of a release of the lien against the prepaid Parcel. Any Assessments which
are not prepaid by such date shall be collected on the November 2017 property tax bill
as authorized by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. The Assessment Coordinator
is authorized to cause the certification and delivery of the Assessment Roll to the Tax
Collector anytime after such date but prior to September 15, in the manner prescribed
by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.
SECTION 8. EFFECT OF RESOLUTION. The adoption of this
Resolution shall be the final adjudication of the issues presented herein (including, but
not limited to, the method by which the Assessments are computed and apportioned,
the Assessment Roll, and the amount of the Assessment imposed against each Parcel
unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief
within twenty (20) days from the date of the Board's adoption of this Resolution.
[Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank]
SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Final Assessment Resolution shall take
effect immediately upon its passage and adoption.
