AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing to consider adoption of a Final Assessment
Resolution for Monroe County, Florida, to collect special assessments within the Monroe County
Canals Municipal Services Benefit Unit(MSBU) to pay for ongoing operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs for a canal water quality improvement project(air curtain) serving Canal 105 in Tavernier; stating
a need for such levy; and providing for an effective date.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
This Final Assessment Resolution addresses Canal 105 in Tavernier. An air curtain is anticipated to
be placed on the breakwater that is being repaired, that is located in front of Canal 105. The air curtain
will keep out floating vegetative matter from canal 105. Canal 105 will also be restored soon. The air
curtain will require future operations and maintenance work. Without future operations and
maintenance work, any gains accomplished by the restoration work will slide backwards and be lost, the
full value of the restoration work will not be realized, and it will be impossible to measure the gains of
the restoration work.
The property owners on the canal where work is to be performed will realize benefits as a result of the
air curtain installation and upcoming restoration work, including but not limited to gains in overall
appearance of their property, increase in property values, and improved use of the canals for fishing,
swimming and other recreational uses. It is therefore appropriate for the County to collect funds to
cover the cost of O&M from the property owners who realize the special benefits of the restoration
work in the form of special assessments,provided the cost is distributed so that they are fairly and
reasonably apportioned to the subject properties.
The County is authorized under Section 125.01(l)(q) to establish municipal service benefit units within
all or any part of the unincorporated county, within which may be provided essential facilities from
funds derived from special assessments on the properties located within the municipal service benefit
unit(MSBU). Canal restoration work falls within the definition of"other essential facilities and
municipal services." Collection of an assessment for the first time requires four steps: (1)Approval of
an ordinance creating the MSBU and authorizing the special assessment; (2) approval by the BOCC of a
resolution signifying notice of intent to use the non-ad valorem method in F.S. 197.3632 to collect the
3869
assessments (on the tax bills); (3) adoption of an Initial Assessment Resolution; and(4) adoption of a
Final Assessment Resolution at a public hearing.
In October 2017, the BOCC adopted Ordinance No. 021-2017 (the "Ordinance"). The Ordinance
created and established the MSBU and provided that the County could collect special assessments to
pay for operations and maintenance costs, as well as capital costs, and that the costs of administration of
the special assessment program could be paid for from the special assessments.
On January 23, 2019 the BOCC adopted Resolution No. 033-2019,providing notice of intent to use
uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem special assessments beginning in October 2019.
On May 2, 2023, the BOCC adopted the Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 146-2023).
Today's public hearing represents the final step toward adoption of a resolution approving collection of
the special assessment beginning on the tax bill that will appear in November 2023. The details of the
amounts of the assessments and the properties on which the assessments would be levied were laid out
in the Initial Assessment Resolution and will be confirmed in the Final Assessment Resolution.
Today's FAR asks for approval of those assessments and properties. The homeowners have voted to
move forward with the assessment.

Re: Notice of Proposed Maintenance Special Assessment for Canal 105
Dear Property Owner:
A municipal service benefit unit is being created to fund assessments for operation and maintenance costs
related to certain canal restoration activities in your area. The operation and maintenance work is necessary
in order to maintain the water quality improvement that has already been achieved on the canals. The type
of operation and maintenance work that is necessary depends on the type of canal restoration technology
that was used in each canal. The assessment for each lot of property is based on the cost of the operations
and maintenance and the number of Lots on each canal. A more specific description of the assessment
program is set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution adopted by the County Commission on April 19,2023.
Information regarding the assessment for your specific property is shown below.
Monroe County created the Monroe County Canals Municipal Service Benefit Unit to impose special
assessments to fund ongoing operations and maintenance costs for those canals in the canal restoration
program. The maintenance assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill commencing with the tax
bill to be mailed in November 2023, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Failure to pay the
assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the real property, which may result in a loss of
title.
A more specific description of the improvements and the method of computing the assessment for each lot
of real property are set forth in the Initial Assessment Resolution adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners on April 19,2023. Copies of the Canal Restoration Program Assessment Ordinance,the Initial
Assessment Resolution (including an explanation of the assessment methodology)and the initial Assessment
Roll are available for inspection at the Monroe County Attorney's Office, 1100 12`" St., Suite 408, Key West
Florida 33040 between the hours of 8:00 a.m.and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Information regarding
the assessment for your specific real property is attached to this letter.
The proposed assessments are based on the total overall future maintenance cost,divided by the number
of Lots on the canal. The annual assessment for each Lots will include its share of annual collection costs.
An amount is also added to cover the statutory discount applicable to early payment of ad valorem taxes
16
3887
and special assessments.
The total number of Lots attributable to the above tax parcel is:
The estimated Annual Maintenance Assessment for the above property is$ ,which translates to
$ per Lot per month.
The estimated total revenue to be collected for the Assessment Area is$41,842 per Fiscal Year.
You are invited to attend a public hearing to adopt the Final Assessment Resolution scheduled for June 21,
2023 beginning at 9:00 a.m.at the Murray I\6son Government Center, 1.02050 Overseas Highway, Key Largo,
FL 33037. The Final Assessment Resolution will be available in the agenda packet for the hearing, to be
