DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff is recommending to amend the name of the Doublegate Subdivision Municipal Service Taxing Unit for General Services to now read as Doublegate Subdivision Municipal Service Benefit Unit for General Maintenance and Capital Improvements to better describe the legal status of the unit with regard to its purpose.
In 1997, Doublegate Subdivision established its first Ordinance which set the maximum rate at $35.00 per parcel. In 2006, the maximum rate was increased to $50.00 per parcel. The rate is no longer sufficient for the current level of service in Doublegate Subdivision and is not sustainable under the current assessment amount. The proposed solution is to amend the existing Ordinance to establish a new maximum rate of $100.00, which would allow the Board discretion to consider enacting a rate resolution of up to $100.00 per parcel at a later Public Hearing.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the proposed Ordinance to amend the name change to Doublegate Subdivision Municipal Service Benefit Unit for General Maintenance and Capital Improvements and increase the maximum assessment rate to $100.00 and authorize the Chair and Clerk to execute the same.
