AGENDA\COUNTY
ATTORNEY
BACKGROUND:
On June 5, 2010, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 10-025 creating the St. Lucie County
Sustainability District. Under the terms of the Ordinance, the District would provide
financing to a property owner who voluntarily participates in the sustainability program
through non-ad valorem assessments levied on their property. The program would assist
property owners who desire to install energy efficient improvements including wind
resistance and water conservation improvements.
The County's Financial Advisor drafted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for financial institutions
who are interested in providing a special assessment line of credit and special assessment
term loans for energy efficiency improvements for non residential and multi-family property
owners. On March 5, 2013, the Board granted staff permission to advertise the draft RFP.
No proposals were received. The County's Financial Advisor, Solar Energy Loan Fund (SELF)
staff and County staff revised the RFP to address concerns raised by some of the financial
institutions. On May 7, 2013, the Board granted staff permission to advertise the revised
RFP. No proposals were submitted in response to the revised RFP. Since no proposals were
received SELF staff has been attempting to located potential investors in the County's PACE
program.
On December 17, 2013, SELF Executive Director Doug Coward sent a letter to the Board
Chair recommending that the Board authorize staff to negotiate with Inland Mortgage
Investment Corporation to provide a $1,000,000 credit facility for the County's PACE
program.
