BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 6, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Daniel O'Byrne
SUBJECT: Initial Assessment Resolution Beach Restoration MSBU
DEPARTMENT: Tourist Development Department
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Pursuant to the ordinance creating the Municipal Service Benefit
Unit for Beach Restoration, for the imposition of the assessment, the Board initiates this process
by the adoption of an Initial Assessment Resolution. The purpose of this Initial Assessment
Resolution is to establish the proposed rates for the assessment, direct that notice be given for a
public hearing to consider the adoption of a final assessment resolution and schedule that
hearing. The Initial Assessment Resolution before the Board will begin the process for the
imposition of the assessment for Fiscal Year 2013-2014. The rate of the assessment will be the
same as imposed in the prior fiscal years and will only be imposed within the Destin Subarea.
BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2007, the County adopted Ordinance 07-71 which created
the Okaloosa County Beach Restoration Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU). The purpose
of the MSBU was to facilitate the imposition of special assessments to partially fund the Beach
Restoration Project within the MSBU.
Pursuant to Ordinance 07-71, the Board is required to adopt an Initial Assessment Resolution,
which establishes the preliminary assessment rates. The matter before the Board is the
consideration of that Initial Assessment Resolution. As a result of prior action of the Board, the
assessment within the Okaloosa Island Subarea has been eliminated and refunds paid. Therefore,
this assessment will only be within the Destin Subarea.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve and adopt the initial assessment resolution for the Destin
Subarea within the Okaloosa County Beach Restoration Project Municipal Service Benefit Unit
for Fiscal Year 2013-2014 and schedule a public hearing for September 3, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. at
the Crestview Courthouse, 101 James Lee Boulevard, Crestview, FL to take public comments
and to consider the adoption of the Final Assessment Resolution.
