Energy Special Assessment District Barbara Guettler, Public Works MSBU Coordinator, presented this item to the Board. 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 special assessment district and collected using the uniform method pursuant to Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. In order to preserve this collection option, the Board must adopt a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform method commencing in November 2022. The resolution must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held before January 1, 2022. The resolution does not in any way obligate the County to levy special assessments; rather, it simply preserves the County’s option to use the uniform method of collection if special assessments are levied. The Board has created the Energy Special Assessment District to provide energy conservation and renewable energy improvements to the parcels within the proposed boundary. Staff recommended Board adoption of the special assessment notice of intent resolution for the Energy Special Assessment District. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.
