AGENDA REQUEST *CONSENT AGENDA\PUBLIC
WORKS
BACKGROUND:
One of the funding methods available for the capital improvements and essential services is through
non-ad valorem special assessments levied on specially-benefited properties within the proposed
special assessment districts 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 commencing in November, 2018. The
resolutions must be considered at a duly advertised public hearing held prior to January 1, 2018.
The resolution, which will be provided before the public hearing, does not in any way obligate the
County to levy the special assessments; rather, it simply preserves the County’s option to use the
uniform method of collection if a special assessment is levied.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
N/A
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funding is available from the advertising account in the Energy MSBU program within the
Transportation Trust Interlocals Fund (101001-4115-549000-4920).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests the Board’s permission to advertise a public hearing to consider use of the uniform method
of collecting special assessments to be held at the Board’s regular day meeting on October 17, 2017.
COMMISSION ACTION:
TO: Sustainability District
PRESENTED BY: Barbara Guettler, MSBU Coordinator
