ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE IS AN AMENDMENT TO AN EXISTING MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNIT HAVING TO DO WITH FIRE PROTECTION, AND THE COUNTY PREVIOUSLY, BACK IN 1978, ENACTED AN ORDINANCE SETTING OUT THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE UNIT FOR THE ENTIRE UNINCORPORATED PORTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY. HE CONTINUED THAT WITH THE ENACTMENT OF THE NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT, THERE WAS A NEED TO DELETE THAT DISTRICT FROM THE BOUNDARIES SO THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE AN OVER -LAPPING OF ASSESSMENTS BETWEEN THE TWO. THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT, IN EFFECT, THE AMENDMENT REDUCES THE SIZE OF THE MUNICIPAL SERVICE UNIT TO EXCLUDE THE NORTH COUNTY TAXING DISTRICT AND ANY AREAS WEST OF I-95. THE CHAIRMAN ASKED IF ANY ONE PRESENT WISHED TO BE HEARD. THERE WERE NONE. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

ATTORNEY COLLINS ADVISED THAT THE NEXT FUNDING PERIOD WOULD BEGIN OCTOBER 1ST, THEREFORE, SEPTEMBER 30TH SHOULD BE THE EFFECTIVE DATE. PETE NOEL, NEWSMAN, ASKED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE NORTH BEACH WHEN THE SOUTH DISTRICT IS PUT TOGETHER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ADVISED THAT IT WOULD BE AN EQUAL PART OF THE DISTRICT.
