Agreement for the City of Gainesville to reimburse the Alachua County Property Appraiser for services associated with collection of a non-ad valorem assessment (B)
Explanation
It is necessary for the City to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the Alachua County Property Appraiser providing reimbursement for services associated with collection of a non-ad valorem assessment.
The needed services support the collection of the Special Assessment for Fire Services. The agreement defines the responsibilities of the City and the Property Appraiser. The Property Appraiser will provide the City with data and services necessary to create the non-ad valorem assessment roll. The City's non-ad valorem assessment will be included in the TRIM notice sent to City property owners in August along with an informational flyer about the Special Assessment for Fire Services.
Fiscal Note
The City will be charged $18,000 annually for the services provided by the Property Appraiser. The City will separately pay the costs associated with production and preparation of the informational flyers that will be sent with the TRIM notices. Funds to pay for these expenses are available from fire assessment revenue.
Recommendation
The City Commission authorize the Mayor to execute an Interlocal Agreement with the Alachua County Property Appraiser for services associated with collection of a non-ad valorem assessment subject to approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.
