SECTION 3. CREATION OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY MUNICIPAL SERVICE
BENEFIT UNIT FOR SOLID WASTE COLLECTION SERVICES.
(A) The Indian River County Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Solid Waste
Collection Services is hereby created to include the entire unincorporated area of the
County.
(B) The Indian River County Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Solid Waste
Collection Services is created to fund the provision of Solid Waste management and
collection services, facilities, and programs, which services, facilities, and programs provide
a special benefit to all Residential Property within the Indian River County Municipal
Service Benefit Unit for Solid Waste Collection Services.
(C) The Solid Waste Collection Assessments shall be imposed against all
Residential Property within the Indian River County Municipal Service Benefit Unit for Solid
Waste Collection Services.
SECTION 4. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
FAIR APPORTIONMENT. It is hereby ascertained, declared and determined that the
provision of Solid Waste management and collection services, facilities, and programs to be
funded by the Solid Waste Cost provides a special benefit to the Residential Property
based upon the following legislative determinations:
General
(A) Upon the adoption of this Initial Assessment Resolution determining the Solid
Waste Cost and identifying the Residential Property to be included in the Assessment Roll,
the legislative determinations in Section 206.03 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and
confirmed.
(B) The imposition of a recurring annual Solid Waste Collection Assessment is an
alternative, equitable and efficient method to fairly and reasonably apportion and recover
the Solid Waste Cost experienced by the County among the parcels of Residential Property
within the Solid Waste Collection MSBU.
Special Benefit
(C) Solid Waste management and collection services, facilities, and programs
furnished by the County possess a logical relationship to the use and enjoyment of
Residential Property by providing: (1) Solid Waste management and collection services,
facilities, and programs to the Owners and occupants of Residential Property for proper,
safe, and cost effective removal of these materials generated on such property, (2) better
service to Owners and tenants, (3) the enhancement of environmentally responsible use
and enjoyment of Residential Property, and (4) the protection of property and rental values
and the health and safety of the Owners and occupants of Residential Property resulting
from the uniform delivery and availability of such services, facilities, and programs.
(D) The provision of comprehensive Solid Waste management and collection
services, facilities, and programs furnished by or through the County to Residential
Property enhances and strengthens the relationship of such services and programs to the
use and enjoyment of Residential Property within the Solid Waste Collection MSBU.
Apportionment
(E) The existence of a Dwelling Unit on Residential Property results in such
property generating Solid Waste or being capable of generating such materials, regardless
of whether such Residential Property is currently occupied.
(F) The size or value of Residential Property does not determine the scope and
cost of Solid Waste management and collection services to be provided to such property.
The use of Solid Waste management and collection services, facilities, and programs is
driven by the existence of a Dwelling Unit and the average occupant population. Each
Dwelling Unit of Residential Property produces approximately the same amount of Solid
Waste and Recovered Materials on an annual average basis, such that each Dwelling Unit
is a reasonable proxy for the amount of Solid Waste and Recovered Materials disposal
services, facilities, and programs to be provided by the County.
(G) Apportioning the Solid Waste Cost for Solid Waste management and
collection services provided to Residential Property within the Solid Waste Collection
MSBU on a per Dwelling Unit basis is compatible with the use of the Tax Roll data base, is
required to avoid cost inefficiency and unnecessary administration, and is a fair and
reasonable method of apportioning Solid Waste Cost.
(H) Solid Waste management and collection services, facilities, and programs are
also available to non-residential properties within the County and within the incorporated
10
areas of cities within the County, however, due to the varying solid waste generation rates
among non-residential property and limitations on available data and the varying entities
providing these services, the County cannot implement a non -ad valorem assessment
program for non-residential properties and municipal properties at this time. Accordingly,
non-residential properties and municipal properties will continue to pay for their Solid Waste
management and collection services, facilities, and programs through other legally
available funding sources.
SECTION 5. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AND COLLECTION SERVICES.
(A) Upon the imposition of Solid Waste Collection Assessments for Solid Waste
management and collection services, facilities, and programs against Residential Property
located within the Solid Waste Collection MSBU, the County shall cause Solid Waste
management and collection services to be provided to such Residential Property. The
Solid Waste Cost shall be paid from proceeds of the Solid Waste Collection Assessments.
(B) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that each parcel of
Residential Property within the Solid Waste Collection MSBU will be benefited by the
County's provision of Solid Waste management and collection services, facilities, and
programs in an amount not less than the Solid Waste Collection Assessment upon such
Tax Parcel computed in the manner set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
11
SECTION 6. DETERMINATION OF SOLID WASTE COST; ESTABLISHMENT OF
INITIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The estimated Solid Waste Cost to be assessed and apportioned among
Residential Properties for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, is $9,266,700.00. The
approval of this Initial Assessment Resolution determines the amount of the Solid Waste
Cost. The remainder of such Fiscal Year budget for Solid Waste management and
collection services, facilities, and programs, if any, shall be funded from available County
revenue other than Solid Waste Collection Assessments.
(B) For the Fiscal Year in which Solid Waste Collection Assessments for Solid
Waste management and collection services, facilities, and programs are imposed, the Solid
Waste Cost shall be allocated among all parcels of Residential Property within the Solid
Waste Collection MSBU, based upon each parcels' classification as Residential Property
and the number of Dwelling Units for such parcels. An estimated rate of assessment equal
to $181.70 for each Dwelling Unit for Solid Waste management and collection services,
facilities, and programs is hereby approved for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025.
(C) The rate of the Solid Waste Collection Assessments established in this Initial
Assessment Resolution shall be the rates applied by the County Administrator in the
preparation of the Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2025, as
provided in Section 7 of this Initial Assessment Resolution.
SECTION 7. SOLID WASTE ASSESSMENT ROLL.
(A) The County Administrator is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be
prepared, a preliminary Solid Waste Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year beginning October
1, 2025, in the manner provided in Section 206.17 of the Ordinance. The Solid Waste
12
Assessment Roll shall include all Tax Parcels of Residential Property within the Solid
Waste Collection MSBU. The County Administrator shall apportion the estimated Solid
Waste Cost to be recovered through Solid Waste Collection Assessments in the manner
set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
(B) A copy of the Ordinance, this Initial Assessment Resolution, documentation
related to the estimated amount of the Solid Waste Cost to be recovered through the
imposition of Solid Waste Collection Assessments, and the Solid Waste Assessment Roll
shall be maintained on file in the office of the County Administrator and open to public
inspection. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the updated Solid Waste
Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount of the Solid Waste Collection Assessment
for each parcel of property can be determined by the use of a computer terminal available
to the public.
(C) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the foregoing method
of determining the Solid Waste Collection Assessments for Solid Waste management and
collection services, facilities, and programs is a fair and reasonable method of apportioning
the Solid Waste Cost among parcels of Residential Property.
13
