extraordinary project scenario, our time line was a bit optimistic. There are four project areas in the Bcach Plan under rcvicw and analizedon. The BSPAC will not rc icw the plan and make a recommendation before January. To preserve our ability to decide on possible assessments after January 1. 1999 to be levied in July's trim notice based on January 1 values, State Statute allows us to advertise and have a public hearing on the Uniform Assessment Method to be used. This method simply states that the assessment will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill. If special assessments are to be collected on the ad valorem tax bill. the Country must: 1) publish notice of its intent to use this collection method weekly for 4 conseciltive weeks, 2) conduct a public heating, 3) adopt a resolution of intent prior to January 1 of the calendar year in which the first ad valorem tax bill will be mailed, 4) send copies of the resolution to the property appraiser, the tax collector, and the Department of Revenue by January 10. Both the Tax Collector and Property Appraiser have consented to defer the compliance .dates to %-larch 1 of 1999. We propose the Public Hearing for th!_ adoption of the Resolution of Intent to Use the uniform Assessment Method for December 22. 1999. if we use assessments in the project then we. have preserved our right to assess in the 1999 calendar year. The actzjal Ccunumic plan will come to the Commission Bur review. public hearing, and recommendation sometime in January. In response to Commissioner Ginn's inquiry, Commissioner Adams advised that the the topic for the public hearing would simply be if there would be any assessment on a tax bill, not a plan or methodology which would come up early next year. The Board would make the decision when the plan comes up again. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously scheduled a public hearing for December 22, 1998, to consider for adoption a resolution of Intent to Use the Uniform Assessment Method to cover the financing of the previously -approved Beach Preservation Plan Update. Commissioner Adams expressed thanks to County Attorney Vitunac and Coastal Engineer Jeff Tabar for working diligently to bring this all together, making sure every base is covered, and leaving no rocks unturned.
