The first public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, to receive public comment and objections on the District's proposed budget (“Proposed Budget”) for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025 and ending September 30, 2026 (“Fiscal Year 2025/2026”). The second public hearing is being held pursuant to Chapters 190, 197, and/or 170, Florida Statutes, to consider the imposition of operations and maintenance special assessments (“O&M Assessments”) upon the lands located within the District, to fund the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/2026; to consider the adoption of an assessment roll; and, to provide for the levy, collection, and enforcement of assessments. At the conclusion of the hearings, the Board will, by resolution, adopt a budget and levy O&M Assessments as finally approved by the Board. A Board meeting of the District will also be held where the Board may consider any other District business.
Description of Assessments
The District imposes O&M Assessments on benefitted property within the District for the purpose of funding the District's general administrative, operations, and maintenance budget. A geographic depiction of the property potentially subject to the proposed O&M Assessments is identified in the map attached hereto. For all O&M Assessments levied to fund the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/2026, the District expects to collect no more than $291,826.88 in gross revenue, plus another $283,349 that may be funded through a deficit funding agreement.
