5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Resolution - Energy Special Assessment District Notice of Intent for 2018
Barbara Guettler, MSBU Coordinator, presented this item. She advised 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 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 a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform
method commencing in November, 2018. The resolution must be considered at a duly advertised public
hearing held prior to January 1, 2018. 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.
Chairman Bartz opened the hearing to public comment at this time. There being no one wishing to
appear before the Board, Chairman Bartz closed the public hearing.
The Board did not have any questions or comments on this item. A motion was made to adopt the
resolution and it carried unanimously.
RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
