AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction on the potential use of the uniform method

Key Largo. TIME APPROXIMATE 11:15 A.M.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this item is to review and discuss information for potential special assessments to cover
operations & maintenance and capital costs for the Twin Lakes Road Adaptation project in Key Largo,
beginning in November 2025.
Collection of the assessment(s)requires further approval of an Initial and Final assessment resolutions,
as outlined in the attached presentation. Those assessment resolutions would contain(a) a specific list
of properties to be assessed, and (b) the amount of the assessment for each property.
The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners has previously approved the design and
construction of a sea level rise pilot project in Twin Lakes to lessen the frequency and severity of
flooding and decrease predicted flood damage.
The Countywide Roads Vulnerability Sea Level Rise Adaptation Study identifies 97 various roadway
areas for adaptation improvements by the year 2045 to mitigate flooding at a cost of$1.6 Billion, of
which 49 were recommended by the year 2025 at an estimated cost of$888 Million (in 2020 $'s).
The property owners on the roads where work may be performed will realize specific benefits as a result
of road adaptation work, including but not limited to decreases in road flooding and maintaining access
to their homes.
The County is authorized under Section 125.01(1)(q) to establish municipal service benefit units within
3118
all or any part of the 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). Road
adaptation work falls within the definition of"other essential facilities and municipal services."
