A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA,
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 99-58 [RATE
RESOLUTION] ADOPTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
UTILITY SERVICES SCHEDULE OF WATER AND
SEWER RATES, FEES, AND OTHER CHARGES.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Ordinance No. 91-9, duly adopted by the Indian River
County Board of County Commissioners on June 22, 1999 and codified in Chapter 201 of
The Code, Indian River County enacted Resolution No. 99-58, also known as the "Rate
Resolution setting forth the schedule of water and sewer rates, fees and other charges
for the Department of Utility Services effective October 1, 1999; and
WHEREAS, commencing in 1991, the County has paid interest on water and sewer
deposits; the current deposit amount is $50 for water and $50 for sewer; and
WHEREAS, the interest on the amount deposited, as set forth in the Rate
Resolution, is .00208% per month, or 2.5% a year; and
WHEREAS, the County had been collecting social security numbers of individuals
making water and/or sewer deposits to comply with the requirements of the Internal
Revenue Service that a 1099 -INT form be sent if the County pays interest of more than
$10 per year to an individual. The administrative burden on staff of Utilities, Budget, and
Finance was disproportionate to the amount of interest paid. Increasingly, as a result of
identity theft and other types of fraud associated with social security numbers, customers
were quite reluctant to divulge their social security numbers; and
WHEREAS, effective October 1, 2007, the Florida Legislature adopted new
requirements with respect to the collection and dissemination of social security numbers by
all political subdivisions in Florida; .and
WHEREAS, the new law required a review by the County to determine whether our
collection of social security numbers was in compliance and the immediate discontinuation
of any such collection of social security numbers that was not in compliance; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the new legislation, the Utilities Department was advised
immediately to discontinue the collection of social security numbers from individuals; and
WHEREAS, by a duly noticed public hearing on even date herewith, the Board
amended Section 201.08(h) of The Code to remove the requirement of paying interest on
water and sewer deposits; and
WHEREAS, amending rate resolution, Resolution 99-58 to remove the interest rate
will complete the County's compliance with the new legislation.
