A RESOLUTION OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA ELECTING
TO USE THE UNIFORM METHOD OF COLLECTING NON -AD
VALOREM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS LEVIED WITHIN THE
COUNTY FOR CANAL RESTORATION PROJECTS; STATING
A NEED FOR SUCH LEVY; PROVIDING FOR THE MAILING OF

WHEREAS, Monroe County, Florida (the "County ") is contemplating the imposition of
special assessments to generate the funds necessary for the costs of operations and

WHEREAS, the County intends to use the uniform method for collecting non -ad valorem
special assessments for the cost of providing funds for Demonstration Project Canals located on

Florida Statutes, as amended, because this method will allow such special assessments to be
collected annually commencing in November 2017;
WHEREAS, use of the uniform method provides a benefit to the property owners who
are paying the cost of the canal restoration, in that it allows the property owners to amortize the
costs and pay a portion on each year's tax bill; and
WHEREAS, the County held a duly advertised public hearing prior to the adoption of this
Resolution, proof of publication of such hearing being attached hereto as Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

statement mailed for such Fiscal Year and continuing thereafter until discontinued by the

assessments authorized in section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, as amended, for collecting non -
ad valorem assessments for the cost of providing canal restoration on certain properties located
on Key Largo, Rock Harbor, Big Pine Key, and Geiger Key. Such non -ad valorem assessments
shall be levied within the County. A legal description of such area subject to the assessment is
attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference.
2. The County hereby determines that the levy of the assessments is needed to
fund the cost of operations and maintenance for the canal restoration projects listed on Exhibit
B.
3. Upon adoption, the County Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy of this
Resolution by United States mail to the Florida Department of Revenue, the Monroe County Tax
Collector, and the Monroe County Property Appraiser by January 10, 2017.
4. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption.
