MEMORANDUM
To:
Dave Koppel, County Engineer
From:
Elizabeth Wood, Sr. Administrator – Sewer Projects
Date:
12/15/2006
Re:
Approval of a resolution to collect non-ad valorem special assessment
connection fees by the uniform method
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a resolution adopted by special hearing to
use the uniform method to collect non-ad valorem special assessments toward the cost
of providing wastewater utility services to properties in the Duck Key, Cudjoe
Summerland, Big Coppitt Key, and Stock Island Phase II Wastewater Service Areas.
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. The uniform method
refers to the tax bill method of collection. The annual connection fee payment due will
appear on the property’s tax bill unless payment is made in full. The resolution of intent
st
must be adopted by January 1, 2007 and sent to the Monroe County Tax Collector, the
Monroe County Property Appraiser, and the Florida Department of Revenue by January
10, 2007.
A notice of the public hearing to adopt the resolution of intent was advertised four
consecutive weeks immediately before the date of the hearing, as required by statute.
The Monroe County and FKAA attorneys concur that Shark Key residents will be
mandated to connect because the system will abut the property owned by the Shark Key
Homeowner’s Association.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
At the January 25, 2006 Special Meeting,
approval was granted to levy a $4,500 per EDU sewer connection fee for those
properties designated as Tier III in the Duck Key and Big Coppitt Key sewer service
areas through Little Torch Key excluding Baypoint. The Interlocal Agreement between
Monroe County and the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority specifies that, “citizens do not
have to pay in excess of $4500 per EDU in non-ad valorem special assessments.”
At the November 15, 2006 BOCC meeting, approval to advertise the public hearing
required to adopt the resolution of intent was granted.
Planning for the Lower Sugarloaf and Big Pine Key sewer areas is anticipated to occur in
late FY07 or early FY08, therefore, the levy of the ad valorem special assessments for
December 15, 2006
the Lower Sugarloaf and Big Pine Key areas was not recommended for FY07. Ramrod
Key, as well as Little, Middle, and Big Torch Keys are part of the Big Pine Key service
area; therefore, collection of the $4500 connection fee should also be postponed until
FY09.
