Item J4* REVISED BACK-UP * BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: May 15, 2013 Division: Public Works & Engineering Bulk Item: Yes No X Department: Wastewater Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Kevin Wilson/ 453-8797 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A Public Hearing to adopt the Cudjoe Regional Wastewater Supplemental Assessment Program Initial Assessment Resolution describing the method of assessment for the Venture Out parcels that were coded as vacant properties and, therefore, not included in Resolution 197-2012 for the Inner Islands of the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Wastewater Treatment System adopted on July 18, 2012. F.S. 714120 states that each condominium parcel should be separately assessed. A separate billing was mailed to these properties in November 2012. ITEM BACKGROUND: In accordance with the section 197.3632, F.S. setting the uniform method for the levy, collection, and enforcement of non -ad valorem special assessments, at least 20 days prior to the public hearing to adopt a resolution imposing the non -ad valorem special assessment roll, the local government shall notice the hearing by first class notice and by publication in a newspaper generally circulated within the County. This Initial Assessment Resolution is preliminary to advertising the public hearing for the Final Assessment Resolution which is to be held on June 19, 2013. The mailing of notices will be managed by GSG. All of the affected properties were already notified by U.S. mail of the error and of the County's intent to correct the assessment rolls in 2013. The properties will initially be treated as a separate roll and then combined with the inner islands in future years. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On July 18, 2012, the BOCC adopted Resolutions 197-2012 Final Assessment Resolution for the Inner Island Area of the Cudjoe Regional Centralized Wastewater Treatment System. At the time of the adoption, a number of properties within the Venture Out Resort community were inadvertently left off of the tax roll because they were listed as vacant n the Property Appraiser's database. F.S. 718.120 states that each condominium parcel should be separately assessed. CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval as stated.

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. 5 ARTICLE II WASTEWATER ASSESSMENTS SECTION 2.01. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TO BE ASSESSED. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed on Venture Out Resort parcels that were listed as vacant at the time of adoption of Resolution 197-2012 (Appendix A and Appendix B list) SECTION 2.02. IMPOSITION OF ASSESSMENTS. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed for a period of 20 years. The parcels described in Appendix A opted to pay the First Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2012 — 2013, according to separate bill dated November 1, 2012, these parcels will be included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013 for their second Annual Wastewater Assessment. Future Annual Assessments will be included in certified tax rolls for Cudjoe Regional Inner Islands Annual Wastewater Assessments. The parcels described in Appendix B opted to NOT pay the first Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2012 — 2013, as provided in the separate billing dated November 1, 2012. These parcels will have the first Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013 AND the second Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2013 — 2014 included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013. Future Annual Assessments will be included in the certified tax rolls for the Cudjoe Regional Inner Islands Annual Wastewater Assessments. When imposed, the wastewater assessment for each Fiscal Year shall constitute a lien upon such Tan 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. 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. 0 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, on June 19, 2013, at the County Commission Chambers in the Marathon Government Center; 2798 Overseas Highway; Marathon, Florida to consider (A) imposition of the Wastewater Assessments, and (B) collection of the Wastewater Assessments pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act.

METHOD OF COLLECTION. The Wastewater Assessments shall be collected pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. Upon adoption of a Final Assessment Resolution confirming this Resolution and imposing the Wastewater Assessments, the Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Roll shall be certified to the Tax Collector pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act. 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.

The Board intends to collect the assessments in installments, the first of which will be included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2013. The public hearing is being held for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed assessments and collection of the assessment on the ad valorem tax roll.

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 was not identified as requiring wastewater service until after the first class notices for the 2012 tax bill were mailed. You received a separate bill dated November 1, 2012 that allowed you the option to prepay in full or to pay the Fiscal Year 2012-13 Annual Wastewater Assessment (first annual installment) of $401.11. Since you have not prepaid in full, but paid the Fiscal Year 2012-13 assessment amount, this notice is required to inform you that the County intends to include the remaining annual assessments on your ad valorem tax bill beginning November 2013. The EDU Allocation for the above parcel is 1 EDU based on the PC Code classification of "00" (vacant residential), the availability of water service, the terms of FS §718.120(1), and the anticipated need for wastewater service based on use. 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 $4,500. The November 1, 2012 separate bill provided you notice of the opportunity to prepay in full. You will not receive another notice of your prepayment amount; however 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) 292-4525 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 $310.63. This will be re-evaluated annually when the actual rate is set in September. 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 estimated maximum Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and future fiscal years for the above parcel is $310.63. You are invited to attend a public hearing to adopt the Final Assessment Resolution scheduled for June 19, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. at the Marathon Government Center 2798 Overseas Highway, 2nd Floor Marathon, FL 33050.

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 was not identified as requiring wastewater service until after the first class notices for the 2012 tax bill were mailed. You received a separate bill dated November 1, 2012 that allowed you the option to prepay in full or to pay the Fiscal Year 2012- 13 Annual Wastewater Assessment (first annual installment) of $401.11. Since you have not prepaid in full or paid your Fiscal Year 2012-13 Annual Wastewater Assessment, this notice is required to inform you that the County intends to include the unpaid Fiscal Year 2012-13 Annual Assessment and the remaining annual assessments on your ad valorem tax bill beginning November 2013. The EDU Allocation for the above parcel is 1 EDU based on the PC Code classification of "00" (vacant residential), the availability of water service, the terms of FS §718.120(1), and the anticipated need for wastewater service based on use. 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 $4,500. The November 1, 2012 separate bill provided you notice of the opportunity to prepay in full. You will not receive another notice of your prepayment amount; however 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) 292-4525 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 $310.63. 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 estimated maximum Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2013-14 and future fiscal years for the above parcel is $310.63. The unpaid Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2012-13 for the above parcel is $401.11. The total Annual Wastewater Assessment for Fiscal Year 2013-14 -for the above parcel is $711.74.
