12/22/87.1(Ord)LEGAL(Vk)TP ORDINANCE NO. 87 - SECTION 3. STATEMENT OF DISTRICT INTENT AND REQUIREMENTS It is the Intent of the district and a requirement of this ordinance that all solid waste generated by assessable property within the district, or disposed of in the district, be disposed of through the SWDD, and that all assessable property within the SWDD be charged an annual special assessment (the "disposal charge") to help pay for the disposal costs. It is found that these requirements will promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the district by providing environmentally sound ways of disposing of solid waste, by reducing illegal dumping, and by paying for the service through the fairest reasonable method. The Board finds that having the solid waste disposal services described in this ordinance available constitutes a benefit to assessable property, equal to, or in excess of, the assessment against such property whether the assessable property actually generates solid wastes or not. SECTION -4_ POWERS OF S.W.D.D. — -------------------- The SWDD shall have all powers necessary and incident to accomplishing the purposes of the district, which powers shall include the power to hire, fire, and set compensation of employees, lease, rent, or buy real and personal property, issue revenue bonds or other certificates of indebtedness, and contract, including the power to contract with municipalities within Indian River County which have not joined the SWDD. SECTION -5. --DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this ordinance, the definitions contained in this section shall apply unless otherwise specifically stated. When not inconsistent with the context, words used in the present tense include the future, words in plural numbers include the singular, and words in the singular number include the plural. The word "shall" is always mandatory and not merely directory. 2
