AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise public hearings for the adoption of the Cudjoe
Regional Central Service Area Initial Assessment Resolution (IAR) on June 20, 2012 and Final
Assessment Resolution (FAR) on July 18, 2012.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The uniform method of collection requires the non -ad valorem assessment
roll be adopted at a noticed public hearing. The adoption of the initial assessment resolution is being
advertised based on statutes such as FS 191.009(2) & 191.011(2)(a) & (b) which require notice for
first-time levies and when the amount of assessment changes. The system development fee to be
levied as a non -ad valorem special assessment is established in the Second Amendment to the
Interlocal Agreement to be no more than $5,700.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On December 14, 2011 the BOCC adopted Resolution
No. 440b-2011 establishing the BOCC's intent to use the uniform method of collecting non -ad valorem
special assessments for the provision of wastewater utility services. The BOCC previously adopted the
following notice of intent resolutions: 568-2007, 515-2008, 463-2009 and 469-2010. The BOCC

Administration of Non -Ad Valorem Assessment Program in 2009 and 2011 respectively. The non -ad
valorem tax rolls were developed both years but were not implemented based on a funding gap
