SECTION 1.04. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared
that:
(A) The County created the St. Lucie County Water and Sewer District as a dependent
special district to administer the provision of water and sewer utility services in certain areas of
the County.
(B) The District service area, as more fully described in Article VII, Chapter 40 of the
St. Lucie County Code of Ordinances, includes the unincorporated area encompassed by the
North Hutchinson Island MSBU proposed for establishment herein.
(C) The County and District have acquired, created and improved the Sewer System
for the purpose of providing central utility services and facilities necessary for the collection,
treatment and disposal of wastewater within the boundaries of the District service area.
(D) The real property comprising the NHI MSBU does not currently have access to
central sewer service but instead relies upon septic tanks or other on-site sewage and wastewater
disposal facilities. Extension of sewer facilities therein will eliminate the proliferation of on-site
systems and enable the provision of central utility service to Assessed Property.
(E) The presence of the Sewer System enhances and benefits the environment and the
health, safety, and welfare of landowners and persons inhabiting the District's service area,
including the NHI MSBU, through the provision of professionally operated and maintained
central utility services and facilities.
(F) The County is undertaking the Project to equitably,ecologically and economically
5
manage the treatment and provision of sewer and wastewater services in the NHI MSBU. The
presence of the Sewer System enhances and benefits the environment and the health, safety and
welfare of landowners and persons inhabiting the NHI MSBU.
(G) The Board desires to create the NHI MSBU to fund a portion of the costs incurred
in constructing the sewer extension improvements and facilities necessary to serve the area. As
further described in Section 2.01, the balance of the Project Costs will be paid by the County
through its legally available funds other than the Assessments imposed hereunder.
(H) The development, construction, installation, delivery and funding of the Project
improves the environmentally sound use and enjoyment of property located within the NHI
MSBU by providing access to centralized wastewater collection, treatment and disposal services
therein through the Sewer System.
(I) The development, construction, installation, delivery and funding of the Project
provides a special benefit to all property capable of development within the NHI MSBU by
facilitating the development and/or redevelopment of such property.
(J) The development, construction, installation, delivery and funding of the Project
increases the available utility and use of every parcel served by reducing the area of land needed
to facilitate the location of on-site wastewater facilities thereon, thereby providing a special
benefit to such property.
(K) The Project will make available and accommodate increased consumption and
demand for wastewater collection, treatment and disposal through connection to the Sewer
System,thereby providing a special benefit to such property.
6
(L) The special benefits conveyed to the Assessed Property comprising the North
Hutchinson Island MSBU include but are not limited to access to a centralized, publicly owned
and operated wastewater utility system which will provide an increase in market valuation,
enhanced development/re-development potential,and heightened use,marketability,enjoyment
and value of Assessed Property.
(M) The Board is authorized by the Uniform Assessment Collection Act to levy and
collect Assessments, and the Assessment Ordinance describes the procedure for the levy and
collection of Assessments by the Board for the purpose of providing essential facilities and
services such as the Project.
(N) The apportionment of Assessments based upon Equivalent Dwelling Units as
described in Section 3.04 hereof is a fair and reasonable method for allocating the costs of the
Project and the special benefit conveyed thereby among Assessed Property, and bears a
reasonable relationship to the cost of providing the Project.
(0) The Board hereby finds and determines that the Assessments to be imposed in
accordance with this Initial Assessment Resolution provide a proper and equitable method of
funding the Project by fairly and reasonably apportioning the costs thereof among specially
benefitted property.
ARTICLE II
ESTIMATED COST;
NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING
SECTION 2.01. ESTIMATED PROJECT COST AND ASSESSED COST. The
estimated Project Cost is $14,828,000.00. The County will contribute approximately 84.3%
7
($12,500,000.00) toward such Project Cost through state and/or federal grants and other legally
available funds of the County.The balance of costs in the amount of$2,328,000.00,together with
administrative costs and expenses incurred by the County in establishing the NHI MSBU in the

Assessments from the public and affected property owners and consider adoption of a Final
Assessment Resolution in accordance with Section 40-100(f) of the Assessment Ordinance
establishing the North Hutchinson Island MSBU and imposing Assessments on the Parcels
therein to fund the Assessed Cost.
SECTION 2.03. AUTHORITY AND DIRECTION. The Assessment Coordinator
and other members of County staff are hereby authorized and directed to take such actions as

parcel of property can be determined by the use of a computer terminal or internet access
available to the public.
(B) Finalize plans and specifications necessary for construction of the Project.
(C) Prepare such additional resolutions as may be necessary or desirable in order to
impose and collect Assessments and to provide for financing of the Project through the issuance
of a Debt Obligation.

ARTICLE III
ASSESSMENTS
SECTION 3.01. NORTH HUTCHINSON ISLAND MSBU. The proposed NHI
MSBU is described in Appendix A attached hereto.
SECTION 3.02. IMPOSITION OF ASSESSMENTS. Assessments shall be
imposed against Assessed Property located within the NHI MSBU, the annual amount of which
shall be computed for each Parcel in accordance with this Article III. When imposed,the annual
installment of the Assessment for each Fiscal Year shall constitute a lien upon Assessed Property
as provided in the Assessment Ordinance. Such lien shall be equal in rank and dignity with the
liens of all state,county or municipal taxes and other non-ad valorem assessments,and except as
otherwise provided by law, shall be superior in dignity to all other liens, titles and claims, until
paid.
SECTION 3.03. APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS. Proceeds
derived by the County from the Assessments shall be utilized solely to pay for costs associated
with the Project which may include repayment of any Debt Obligation issued or incurred for the
purpose of financing the Assessed Cost.
SECTION 3.04. APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) The traditional methodology utilized by the County and other publicly owned
utility systems for apportioning the costs of utility improvements involves the assignment of
equivalency units which measure and allocate the special benefit conveyed to different property
uses and types relative to the defined standard of a single family residence. For purposes of
apportioning the special benefits conveyed by the Project and the Assessed Cost among the
10
Assessed Property comprising the NHI MSBU, the County will attribute Equivalent Dwelling
Units to each Assessed Property as described below. Such EDU-based apportionment
methodology is in widespread use throughout the state of Florida and beyond, and is hereby
approved and adopted as the apportionment method for the Assessments imposed within the
North Hutchinson Island MSBU to fund the Assessed Cost.
(B) The NHI MSBU is composed primarily of similarly sized single family residential
lots which allows for a relatively high level of certainty in the design and sizing of the sewer
extension improvements required to serve the Assessed Property therein, regardless of the size
of single family dwelling units located on or built thereon.Accordingly, it is fair and reasonable
to use an EDU method for computing the North Hutchinson Island MSBU Assessments based
upon assigning one (1) Equivalent Dwelling Unit to each Parcel developed with a single family
dwelling unit and each subdivided residential Parcel capable of development with a single family
dwelling unit,regardless of the size of the dwelling unit or lot.
(C) Parcels comprised of multifamily use, including apartments, townhomes,
duplexes and triplexes,will be attributed.75 EDU per multifamily dwelling unit.
(D) Parcels comprising hotels or motels will be attributed .75 EDU per room.
(E) The assignment of EDUs to any other land use within the NHI MSBU shall be
consistent with the flow requirements set forth in Rule 62-6.008, Florida Administrative Code,
and/or the District's Uniform Extension Financing Policy, or any successors thereto addressing
cost allocation for the provision of utility infrastructure to previously unserved properties.
(F) There are currently 323 Parcels within the NHI MSBU.
(G) The total number of EDUs attributable to the NHI MSBU is 365.5.
11
(H) For any Assessment which is voluntarily prepaid prior to the prepayment
deadline established in Section 3.05 hereof, the maximum rate of Assessment shall be $6,759.32
per EDU which includes a 2% Collection Cost imposed by the Tax Collector for prepayment of
an Assessment.
(I) The maximum rate for any Assessment which is not prepaid prior to the
prepayment deadline established in Section 3.05 hereof is $7,949.24 per EDU which includes a
pro rata share of the estimated Transaction Costs associated with the Debt Obligation to be issued
by the County to finance the Assessed Cost.
(J) In the event a Parcel is developed to a greater intensity or alternate use following
adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution, the County may assign additional EDUs to such
property based on the new intensity and the methodology set forth herein. The additional
Assessment amount resulting from the greater development intensity or alternate use may be
collected by the County in any manner authorized by law,including but not limited to increasing
the amount of the annual installments of the Assessment imposed against the Parcel.
(K) The total Project Cost substantially exceeds the Assessed Cost. The special benefits
conveyed by the Project exceed the amount of the Assessment imposed against each Parcel.
(L) The Assessment rates established in this Initial Assessment Resolution shall be the
maximum rates applied by the Assessment Coordinator in the preparation of the preliminary
Assessment Roll as provided in Section 2.03(A)of this Initial Assessment Resolution.
(M) It is hereby ascertained,determined,and declared that the method of determining
the Assessment amount for each Parcel as set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution is a fair
and reasonable method of apportioning the Assessed Cost among Assessed Property.
12
SECTION 3.05. COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS; OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT.
(A) Upon adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution for the NHI MSBU,the owners
of Assessed Property shall have the option to prepay the Assessment in full and thereby avoid
annual interest,Collection Costs and a pro rata share of the Transaction Costs associated with the
Debt Obligation issued by the County to finance the Assessed Cost. The Assessment Coordinator
shall provide notice of the prepayment opportunity to owners of Assessed Property indicating
the maximum prepayment amount for each Parcel in the amount of$6,759.32 per EDU, and the
prepayment deadline. Notice of the prepayment opportunity may be included in the mailed
notice of public hearing provided pursuant to Section 2.03(F) hereof. Unless determined
otherwise in the Final Assessment Resolution, the prepayment deadline shall be July 1, 2024.
(B) In the event the Assessment is not prepaid by such time, the Assessment shall be
collected in annual installments pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act based on a
maximum principal amount for each Parcel of$7,949.24 per EDU. The maximum amount of each
annual installment of the Assessment is estimated to be$665.19 per EDU based on annual interest
at an assumed rate of 5.50%, a pro rata share of Collection Costs, and a payment term of not to
exceed twenty(20)years.
(C) Prepayments for any Parcel after the deadline established in Section 3.05(A) shall
be based on the then-current principal balance of the Assessment together with interest through
the next date upon which County can redeem the Debt Obligation after providing all notices
required by the ordinance or resolution authorizing issuance of such Debt Obligation and the
prepayment premium or penalty,if any, associated with redemption of such Parcel's share of the
principal amount of any Debt Obligation then outstanding(or for which issuance is pending).
13
(D) During any period commencing on the date the annual Assessment Roll is
finalized for certification to the Tax Collector pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act
(which date shall generally be September 1 of each year or any later date approved by the Board
that will not prevent timely certification of the Assessment Roll in accordance with the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act) and ending on the next date on which unpaid ad valorem taxes
become delinquent, the amount necessary for prepayment may be reduced by the principal
component of the Assessment installment that has been certified for collection on the forthcoming
tax bill with respect to the affected Parcel.
(E) The proceeds of any prepayments received by the County pursuant to this Section
shall be applied solely to pay for costs associated with the Project which may include repayment
of any Debt Obligation issued or incurred for the purpose of financing the Assessed Cost.
(F) The amount of all prepayments computed in accordance with this Section shall be
final and the County shall not be required to refund any portion of a prepayment made hereunder
if annual installments of the Assessment will not be imposed for the full number of years
anticipated at the time of such prepayment or if the final Project Cost is less than the estimated
amount used to calculate the Assessments hereunder.
SECTION 3.06. MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. The owner of an Assessed
Property shall immediately pay all future unpaid annual installments of the Assessment if(i)such
property is to be acquired or otherwise transferred to an entity for which Assessments cannot be
collected pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act through condemnation,negotiated
sale or otherwise,or(2)a tax certificate has been issued and remains outstanding in respect of the
Assessed Property and the County at its sole option, elects to accelerate the balance of the
14
Assessment not then certified for collection pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.
In the case of(1)above,the owner of the Assessed Property,prior to condemnation,sale or other
transfer must notify the County at least 30 days prior to the proposed acquisition or transfer date
in order to allow the County sufficient time to determine the final amount due.Failure to provide
such notice shall cause an automatic acceleration of such Assessment, the effective due date of
which is 10 days prior to the proposed acquisition or transfer date. Notwithstanding any
purchase agreement to the contrary, the burden of payment under this section shall be on the
seller.
