ITEM BACKGROUND: Florida Statute Section 197.3632 specifies that a public hearing to adopt a
resolution of intent to use the uniform method of collection for an assessment program must be held in
the calendar year prior to the collection and a copy of the resolution sent to the Tax Collector, Property
Appraiser, and Department of Revenue by January 10, 2014, or the hearing may be held by March 1,
2014 with a copy of the resolution sent to the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser and the
Department by March 10, 2014 if the parties agree. Monroe County intends on continuing to collect
the Wastewater assessment for Stock Island, Key Haven, Big Coppitt, Lower Sugarloaf through Big
Pine Key, No Name Key, Long Key, Duck Key and three parcels on Boca Chica sin 2014. Due to
constraints of meeting required advertising timetables, Monroe County will be seeking an extension of
the January 10, 2014 deadline from the Monroe County Tax Collector, the Monroe County Property
Appraiser, and the Florida Department of Revenue to March 10, 2014.
