Gifford Neighborhood Plan 2014 <br /> ➢ Gifford Street Lighting District <br /> Seventeen street lighting districts exist in the unincorporated County. Since such districts are non-ad valorem projects, funds for <br /> installing, operating, and maintaining the streetlights are generated by billing the property owners that reside in each district. <br /> ➢ Funding of Recreation Uses <br /> Maintenance and operation of various recreation facilities in Gifford are funded through the County's general fund revenues. Capital <br /> costs for recreation facilities are funded through the County's one cent sales tax. Also, some facilities such as the Gifford Aquatic <br /> Center charges users' fees. <br /> � Assessment <br /> The County paves roads, constructs sidewalks, extends water and sewer lines, and provides other facilities through assessment <br /> projects. In the case of assessments, the majority of the property owners in a given area, such as along a street, petition the County <br /> for provision of a needed facility such as a paved road. The property owners benefiting from an improvement would pay their share <br /> of improvement costs. For the roadway assessment projects the County pays for 25% of improvement costs and the rest will be <br /> shared between benefiting property owners. <br /> N <br /> tom` Indian River County 91 <br /> Community Development <br />
