Scholl,District 3 Holly Merrill Raschein,District 5 Regular Meeting May 20, 2026 Agenda Item Number: U2 26-6304 BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: Resilience Office TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Rhonda Haag (305) 453-8774 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A public hearing of the Board of County Commissioners of Monroe County,Florida,to consider approval of a resolution related to the Twin Lakes Road Adaptation Project; imposing annual maintenance assessments for properties located within the Twin Lakes Municipal Service Benefit Unit; approving the non-ad valorem assessment rolls; providing for collection of maintenance assessments for the 2027 tax year; and providing an effective date. ITEM BACKGROUND: The Twin Lakes Road Adaptation Assessment Resolution contains a specific list of properties to be assessed, and the amount of the assessment for each property. The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) 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. In June 2025 Monroe BOCC adopted a Final Assessment Resolution for Monroe County, Florida to collect special assessments within the Monroe County Twin Lakes Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU)to pay $2,131 per dwelling unit or unimproved parcel for operation and maintenance(O&M) costs for the Twin Lakes Road Adaptation Project in Key Largo. The property owners in the benefit area receive benefits as a result of the road adaptation work. It is therefore appropriate for the County to collect funds to cover the operations and maintenance costs from the property owners who realize the special benefits of the road adaptation work in the form of special assessments. Notice of the public hearing on the Annual Rate Resolution has been published in a newspaper of general circulation within the County for at least 20 days prior to the public hearing. The rate remains unchanged from the previous year.
