The proposed Oslo Park street paving MSBU will <br />consist of 500 residential properties. <br />As part of the process under section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, the Board will conduct two public <br />hearings. At this first public hearing, the Board will consider adopting the attached resolution in which <br />the Board intends to use the uniform method of collecting the non -ad valorem assessments found in <br />Florida Statute §197.3632. Per statute, notice of the public hearing has been advertised for the past four <br />consecutive weeks. If the resolution is approved, staff will send a first-class letter and a copy of the <br />resolution to each property owner in the proposed MSBU, advising them of the second public hearing and <br />providing them with a copy of the proposed ordinance establishing the MSBU. <br />Additionally, the Board will need to enter into an agreement with the Tax Collector and Property <br />Appraiser reimbursing the Constitutional Officers for the costs incurred in implementing the MSBU. <br />Attached is a draft agreement that is based upon a prior agreement approved by the parties in 2015. <br />152 <br />
