PUBLIC HEARINGS Resolution 2013-222 - Energy Special Assessment District Notice of Intent for 2014 Staff provided background on this item and explained that one of the funding methods available for energy conservation and renewable energy improvements is to levy non- ad valorem special assessments on those properties that derive a direct benefit from those improvements. This type of assessment is based on benefit and collected along with property taxes using the uniform method. In order to preserve this funding option, it is necessary for the Board to adopt a resolution expressing its intent to use the uniform method of collecting, commencing in November 2014. The resolution does not obligate the county to levy the special assessment, rather it satisfies the legal requirement reserving the option to use the uniform method of collection is an assessment is levied. Staff recommends Board adoption of Resolution 2013-222 as outlined in the agenda memorandum and authorization for the Chairman to sign documents as approved by the County Attorney. Commissioner Mowery addressed the day's Board meeting schedule. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Kim Johnson, District No. 5, Vice-Chair SECONDER: Paula A.
