A RESOLUTION
OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Barefoot Bay Recreation District (the “District”) has, by adoption of its Resolution No. 2004-03; approved an operating budget for the District for fiscal year 2004-05 which requires total revenues in the amount of $4,310,097.00 for the said fiscal year; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of the District has reasonably determined that the sum of $2,646,000.00 must necessarily be obtained through an assessment upon each improved residential lot within the District in order to fund the said operating budget; and
WHEREAS, the said total of $2,646,000.00 can be attained by an assessment of $552.00 for each improved residential lot within the District for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2004 and ending September 30, 2005; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of the District has determined that it is in the best interests of the District to select the monthly installment method of collection set forth in Section 418.304 (4) (e) 2, Florida Statutes, as the method of collection of the said assessment so that such assessment can be collected in installments of $46.00 per month; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of the District has determined that it is necessary to allocate $1.00 of the monthly assessment for the sole purpose of maintaining, repairing or replacing the Storm Water System; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Trustees of the District has also found and determined that it is reasonable and prudent to set forth (i) a delinquent fee of $10.00 per month as fraction thereof for late payment of such installments; (ii) the lien rights of the District with respect to each improved residential lot so assessed until such assessment has been paid (iii) the method of enforcing the said assessment as provided by statute; and
WHEREAS, all affected property owners have been provided written notice of the potential for the charging of a delinquent fee and the potential for foreclosure of the District’s lien rights which exist with the use of the said collection method, as well as the time and place of the public hearing on this Resolution.
