RE:Resolution No. 2017-23, Initial Assessment Resolution - Pavement Management Plan

REQUEST:
The City Council is being asked to approve Resolution No. 2017-23, Pavement Management Assessment – Initial Assessment Resolution.

DISCUSSION:

On January 16, 2016, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2016-03, which authorized the use of a uniform method of collection and enforcement of non-ad valorem annual assessments for paving improvements, as provided under Chapter 22, Article V of the City’s Code of Ordinances and Section 197.3631 of the Florida Statutes.

 

On July 18, 2017, the City Council approved a pavement management plan that detailed the need of a plan, identified service costs, and established a methodology for assessment. 

 

Ordinance No. 2012-1985, Capital Improvement and Essential Services Procedural Assessment Ordinance, requires that “the initial proceeding for imposition of an assessment shall be the Council’s adoption of an Initial Assessment Resolution.”  The Initial Assessment Resolution will lay the foundation by:

  • Describing the proposed Assessment Area;

  • Describing the essential services proposed for funding from proceeds of the Assessment;

  • Estimating the service cost;

  • Establishing a maximum assessment rate; and

  • Describing the proposed method of apportioning the service cost among parcels of property

 

Once approved, the next step in the assessment process is to hold a public hearing on each assessment and then present a Final Resolution for your approval.



RECOMMENDATION:

The City Council is being asked to approve Resolution No. 2017-23, Pavement Management Assessment – Initial Resolution.



BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Initial Assessment Resolution has no budget or fiscal impact.  Once the Final Resolution is approved, the pavement management plan will be incorporated into next year’s operating budget for the Street Improvement Fund.
