She stated that one of the funding methods available for capital improvements and essential services is through non -ad valorem special assessments levied on specially -benefited properties within the proposed special assessment district and collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this collection option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt resolutions expressing its intent to use the uniform method of collecting commencing in November, 2019. The resolutions must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held prior to January 1, 2019.
