area shown on Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the County intends to use the uniform method for the levy and collection of
non-ad valorem special assessments, as authorized by section 197.3632, Florida Statutes,
because this method will allow such special assessments to be collected annually commencing
in November 2019;
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, any local government that is authorized to impose a non-ad valorem special
assessment and which elects to use the uniform method for the first time as authorized by F.S.

such special assessment by January 1 of the year preceding the tax year in which the special
assessment will be collected, or, if the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector agree,then by March
1 preceding the tax year in which the special assessment will be collected;
WHEREAS, the Property Appraiser and Tax Collector have consented to adoption of this
resolution after January 1, as evidenced by the letters attached hereto collectively as Exhibit B;
and
WHEREAS, adoption of the "notice of intent" resolution will be followed by adoption of an
initial assessment resolution and final assessment resolution, later in the Spring; 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 C.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:
1. Commencing with the Fiscal Year beginning on October 1, 2019, and with the tax
statement mailed for such Fiscal Year and continuing thereafter until discontinued by the County,
the County intends to use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem 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 Canal
266, Doctor's Arm. Such non-ad valorem assessments shall be levied within the County. A legal
1
description of such area subject to the assessment is attached hereto as Exhibit A and
incorporated by reference.
2. The County hereby determines that the levy of the assessments is needed to fund
the capital cost and the cost of operations and maintenance for the canal restoration projects
performed on Canal 266.
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 no later than March 1, 2019.
4. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption.
