Title

PUBLIC HEARING to Consider the Adoption of an Ordinance to Amend Section 12-476 and Section 12-479 of the Marion County Code of Ordinances to Increase the Maximum Assessment Rate and Change the Name of the Municipal Service Taxing Unit Associated with the Bahia Oaks Subdivision

Body

 

INITIATOR:

DEPARTMENT:

Chad Wicker, Director

Municipal Services

 

DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

In 2005, Bahia Oaks Subdivision established its first Ordinance which set the maximum rate at $60.00 per parcel.  The rate is no longer sufficient for the current level of service in Bahia Oaks 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 $77.00 per parcel at the subsequent Public Hearing.

 

Also, staff is recommending to amend the name of the  Bahia Oaks  Municipal Service Taxing Unit for Street Lighting to now read as Bahia Oaks  Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Street Lighting to better describe the legal status of the unit with regard to its purpose.

 

BUDGET/IMPACT:

None

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Recommended action

Motion to approve the proposed Ordinance to increase the maximum assessment rate to $100.00 and amend the name change to Bahia Oaks Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Street Lighting, and authorize the Chair and Clerk to execute the same.
