Title
Kirkwood Special Assessment Final Resolution (B)
Explanation
The City Commission adopted the first two resolutions mandated by Florida Statutes, Chapter 170 in order to enact a special assessment to repair and maintain the Kirkwood roadway and associated drainage facilities. On February 28, 2000, the City Commission adopted the first resolution to declare the intent to levy a special assessment. On March 13, 2000, the City Commission adopted the second resolution setting a date, time and place for a public hearing to discuss the proposed assessment. A public hearing was held on April 10, 2000 to provide affected or interested parties an opportunity to speak to the propriety of making the improvements, the cost of improvements, the manner of payment, and the amount to be assessed against property so improved. On April 24, 2000, the City Commission adopted the third mandated resolution which levied the assessment and empowered the City staff to begin work. The adoption of this final resolution will formally accept the completed roadway improvement and describe the manner of payment.
Fiscal Note
The Kirkwood property owners will be responsible for paying $59,533.33 of the total roadway reconstruction and resurfacing costs of $118,370.00. The remaining $58,836.67 will be charged to the Public Works Department capital projects account.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the resolution to accept the completed roadway improvement; 2) authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Commission to execute the Resolution; and 3) authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute any documents or take necessary actions to initiate commencement of the special assessment collections.
