Odom,Assistant County Attorney <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Board of County Commissioners <br /> _K? <br /> FROM: Alan S. Polackwich, Sr., County Attorney <br /> DATE: March 22, 2013 <br /> SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Adoption of Ordinance Establishing Amnesty Program for Certain <br /> Utility Delinquency Charges <br /> BACKGROUND. <br /> Under section 201.08(B) of the Code of Indian River County ("Code"), service availability charges are <br /> imposed on the owner of each water and sewer Equivalent Residential Unit ("ERU") which is reserved <br /> for future use. This charge is necessary to recover to the County the cost of repairing and maintaining <br /> the capacity in the water/sewer system which is reserved for the ERU. <br /> In the 2004-2006 timeframe, several property owners acquired ERUs for planned developments. <br /> However, with the economic slowdown that followed, many of these developments were not built — <br /> leaving the property owner with ongoing service availability charges for each ERU acquired. When <br /> property owners were unable or unwilling to pay these charges, delinquency charges of $2 and 1.5% <br /> interest were imposed monthly, pursuant to section 201.08(J)(4) of the Code. As a result, large amounts <br /> of service availability and delinquency charges are due with respect to several properties in the county. <br /> INDIAN RIVER CO.
