It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that: (A) Article VIII, Section 1 of the Florida Constitution, and Sections 125.01 and 125.66, Florida Statutes, grant to a board of county commissioners all powers of local self-government to perform county functions and to render services for county purposes in a manner not inconsistent with general law, or with special law approved by vote of the electors, and such power may be exercised by the enactment of county ordinances. (B) The Board has enacted the Ordinance to authorize the imposition of wastewater assessments to allow payment of the cost to provide wastewater service to be paid over a period of years using the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. (C) The availability of payment options that allow a property owner either to pay an Initial Prepayment of the System Development Fee or to pay the System Development Fee over a period of years as Annual Wastewater Assessments provides a special benefit to property and encourages the property owner to pay the assessable amounts on a timely basis. (D) Since the System Development Fee and related costs are directly related to each specific parcel of property to be assessed, the wastewater assessment program provides an equitable method of funding the System Development Fee and related costs. ARTICLE II WASTEWATER ASSESSMENTS SECTION 2.01. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TO BE ASSESSED. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed on the Cudjoe Outer Islands expansion area as adopted on January 16, 2013 by the Board of County Commissioners, (Appendix A) and properties listed in the Cudjoe OUTER Islands that due to timing of development or changes in use, may not have been included on the non -ad valorem tax roll certified in September 2012 SECTION 2.02. IMPOSITION OF ASSESSMENTS. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed for a period of 20 years. The first Annual Wastewater Assessment will be included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013. When imposed, the wastewater assessment for each Fiscal Year shall constitute a lien upon such Tax Parcels pursuant to the Ordinance. SECTION 2.03. PREPAYMENT AMOUNTS. In the initial year, the amount necessary to prepay the System Development Fee in full for each Tax Parcel shall be $4,500 per EDU. In each successive year, a Prepayment Amount for each Tax Parcel shall be computed annually. 5 SECTION 2.04. COMPUTATION OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS. The Annual Wastewater Assessment shall be computed for each Tax Parcel as the sum of (1) the Annual System Development Fee Payment, and (2) the Collection Cost. The Annual System Development Fee Payment is computed as the unpaid balance of the System Development Fee amortized together with interest up to 5% per annum, over the remaining term for such tax parcel. The interest rate applied will be determined based on the interest rate obtained by Monroe County to borrow funds to complete the projects. SECTION 2.05. PREPAYMENT OPTION. The owner of each Tax Parcel subject to the Wastewater Assessments shall be entitled to prepay all future unpaid Annual Wastewater Assessments upon payment of an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Annual Wastewater Assessment and (2) the Adjusted Prepayment Amount. The amount of all prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be final. SECTION 2.06. MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. The owner of a Tax Parcel subject to the Wastewater Assessment shall immediately prepay all future unpaid Annual Wastewater Assessments for such Tax Parcel if (1) the Tax Parcel is acquired by a public entity through condemnation or otherwise, or (2) a tax certificate has been issued and remains outstanding in respect of the Tax Parcel and the County, at its sole option, elects to accelerate the Wastewater Assessment. Failure by the property owner to comply with this Section 2.06, will result in the remaining Prepayment Amount (plus interest computed at the rate utilized to compute the Annual System Development Fee Payment) being placed on the Tax Parcel's ad valorem tax bill for the next Fiscal Year, in addition to its share of the Collection Cost and Statutory Discount. SECTION 2.07. REALLOCATION UPON FUTURE SUBDIVISION. Upon subdivision of any Tax Parcel subject to the Wastewater Assessment, and compliance with the conditions set forth below, the Prepayment Amount for such Tax Parcel shall be reallocated among the subdivided parcels as described in the Final Assessment Resolution. ARTICLE III NOTICE AND PUBLIC HEARING SECTION 3.01. NON -AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT ROLL. The County Administrator is hereby directed to prepare the preliminary Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll in the manner provided in the Ordinance. The preliminary Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll shall be maintained by the County Administrator and open to public inspection beginning May 16, 2013. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount of the Wastewater Assessment for each Tax Parcel can be determined by use of a computer terminal available to the public. SECTION 3.02. PUBLIC HEARING. A public hearing will be conducted by the Board at 3:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be heard, June 19, 2013, at the County Commission Chambers in the Marathon Government Center; 2798 Overseas Highway; Marathon, to consider (A) imposition of the Wastewater Assessments, and (B) collection of the Wastewater Assessments pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. 0 SECTION 3.03. NOTICE BY PUBLICATION. Upon completion of the Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll, the County Administrator shall publish a notice of the public hearing authorized by Section 3.02 hereof in the manner and the time provided in Section 2.05 of the Ordinance.

SECTION 4.02. SEVERABILITY. If any clause, section or provision of this Resolution shall be declared unconstitutional or invalid for any reason or cause, the remaining portion of said Resolution shall be in full force and effect and be valid as if such invalid portion thereof had not been incorporated herein. SECTION 4.03. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.

Property owners have the option to pay the System Development Fee for these services as one lump sum (Prepayment) or in installments (Wastewater Assessment) financed over twenty years and collected on the ad valorem tax bill as a non - ad valorem assessment. You are receiving this Notice because your property has been included in the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Wastewater expanded service area or your property has been newly improved in the past 18 months. Each single family parcel has been assigned one equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). The EDU Allocation for non-residential properties is based on water consumption for the three year period of 2009, 2010 and 2011. The EDU Allocation for non-residential property is calculated by using the highest three month average water consumption and dividing it by the average monthly water consumption for a residential unit. If you feel there is a mistake on this notice, you need to request an EDU Allocation review. Contact the Monroe County Engineering Division at wastewateramonroecounty-fl.gov or at (305) 292-4525 to obtain a Wastewater Appeal form. The EDU Allocation for the above parcel is: «EDU» The lump sum System Development Fee has been set at $4,500 per EDU. The lump sum System Development Fee for the above parcel is <4500xEDU>. You will receive a separate notice of your prepayment amount at the end of June 2013; the Prepayment will be due by August 31, 2013, if you decide to prepay. If you do not wish to prepay the assessment by August 31, 2013, but decide you want to pay off the assessment in the future, payoffs are calculated annually by reducing the System Development Fee by the principal portion of the annual assessment. Please contact us at (305) 2924525 to obtain a payoff memo. Payoffs are accepted annually through August 31 and are usually available beginning in October. Alternatively, a Wastewater Assessment program has been set up to provide property owners the option to pay the System Development Fee over 20 years on the property tax bill as authorized by section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. No action is required on your part to elect this option. The assessments will be payable in not to exceed twenty (20) annual installments amortized at a currently estimated 2.4% interest rate which makes the 2013 annual installment $310.29. The actual rate will be set in June 2013 but will be re- evaluated annually in September each year. The first payment shall be included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013. The total assessment revenue to be generated within the entire Cudjoe Region, including the financing costs and the collection costs (if there are no prepayments) over the entire 20 year period is approximately $89.5 million. Failure to pay your assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a loss of title. The maximum Annual Wastewater Assessment is proposed at $310.29 per EDU.

WHEREAS, the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Wastewater Treatment System herein referred to as the "System" is to be constructed with additional capacity for future development; and WHEREAS, impact fees are normally exacted from future new development of properties but cannot currently be required for wastewater because the capacity for new development for the foreseeable future is included in the System design; and WHEREAS, Section 2.02 of the September 6, 2005 Interlocal Agreement between Monroe County and the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, as amended September 19, 2007, establishes the levy of non -ad valorem special assessments as a County responsibility; and WHEREAS, Monroe County levied non -ad valorem wastewater assessments to collect System Development Fees of $4,500.00 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) from developed properties within the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Inner Island Service Area as described in the Final Assessment Resolutions adopted on July 18, 2012; and WHEREAS, due to timing of development or changes in use, some properties requiring wastewater service may not have been included on the non -ad valorem tax roll certified in September 2012 or may not have been included for the extent of connection required for the usage of that property; and WHEREAS, in order to provide equity for all users of central wastewater systems, a mechanism is necessary to collect a wastewater capacity fee from those properties within the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Inner Island Service Area for which initial or additional wastewater service is required; and WHEREAS, these wastewater capacity fees from future development have been determined to be necessary to pay towards the anticipated debt obligation incurred to provide future development with wastewater service; and WHEREAS, a mechanism is necessary to collect wastewater capacity fees from those properties within the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Inner Island Service Area which initial or additional wastewater service is required; and WHEREAS, adjustments need to be made for inflation since there are financing costs for the project; and Cudjoe Inner Island Assessment Res. 2012 1 c WHEREAS, the inflationary element would contribute to the overall financing costs similar to the interest factor included on the annual assessment; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.0. The following fees are hereby established for wastewater system capacity within the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Inner Island Service Area. These fees apply to new development and re -development for which permits are or were issued subsequent to the non -ad valorem wastewater assessments levied on the 2012 tax bill: 1.1 Residential Service: The wastewater capacity fee for residential service is $4,500.00 per residential unit (EDU) times an adjustment for inflation based upon the all cities Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Government. Single family residences will be charged $4,500.00 times a CPI-U adjustment factor. The base date for CPI adjustments for the Inner Islands Service area is December 2012. The CPI adjustment factor will be 1.0 until the December 2012 and subsequent year CPI -Us are published. The CPI-U adjustment factor is calculated as described below in section 2.0. 1.11 Multi -family residences will be charged $4,500.00 for each dwelling unit times the CPI-U adjustment factor. Wastewater capacity fee = $4,500.00 x number of EDUs x CPI-U adjustment factor (see Section 2.0 below) 1_1 Non -Residential Service: The wastewater capacity fee for non-residential properties shall be calculated based on an estimated EDU allocation provided by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority. The EDU allocation will be based on the anticipated volume (in gallons) of wastewater anticipated to be generated by the property divided by a volume to EDU conversion of 167 gallons/EDU. The wastewater capacity fee will be adjusted for inflation in the same manner described in sections 1.1 and 1.11 for residential properties. The anticipated volume shall be calculated based on the State of Florida Department of Health System Size Determinations found in Florida Administrative Code (Chapter 64E-6.008 as of the date of this resolution). Wastewater capacity fee = $4,500 x number of EDUs x CPI-U adjustment factor (see Section 2.0 below) Section 2.0. The CPI-U adjustment factor is calculated each year by dividing the most recent year's December CPI-U (not seasonally adjusted) by the CPI-U (not seasonally adjusted) for December 2012. Section 3.0. The wastewater capacity fee shall be collected by the Monroe County Building Department upon issuance of a permit, or if a permit has already been issued but no certificate of occupancy has been issued, the fee shall be collected by the Monroe County Building Department prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. If a building permit or certificate of CudJoe Inner Island Assessment Res. 2012 occupancy was issued but the System Development Fee was not collected pursuant to the Cudjoe Regional Inner Islands Final Assessment Resolution nor was the wastewater Capacity Fee collected by the Building Department, the wastewater capacity fee will be collected as a supplementary non - ad valorem assessment to the 2012 tax roll. The non -ad valorem assessment will be collected as a part of the annual property tax bill and will include the opportunity for prepayment. Section 4.0. These fees shall apply to all permits and certificates of occupancy issued after the effective date of this resolution. Section 5.0. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County, Florida, at a meeting of said Board held on the 17t' day of OctobeT, 2012.
