RECESS - The meeting was recessed at 9:30 a.m. and reconvened at 9:44 a.m. PUBLIC WORKS - PUBLIC HEARING FOR USE OF THE NON AD VALOREM ASSESSMENT IN THE PINES AND TRIPLE LAKES ESTATES SUBDIVISIONS FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Mr. Jason Autrey, Public Works Director, stated sufficient numbers of property owners within The Pines and Triple Lakes Estates Subdivisions have submitted petitions under the county’s policy to create a Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) to pave two roads within the Triple Lakes Subdivision. It is anticipated that additional roads in both Triple Lakes and The Pines will be submitted and qualify for improvements under this policy. Mr. Autrey stated the Public Works Department has worked with the County Attorney on these procedures and is now ready to move forward. Although the impetus to assist property owners with paving dirt roads originated with residents of The Pines and Triple Lakes Estates, the proposed process will be available countywide. In order to comply with the advertising requirements, the notification for public hearing must be October 6, 2015 -10- Minute Book 73, Page 233 Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners advertised for four consecutive weeks. He said staff 1is requesting a public hearing to be set on December 1, 2015 to adopt a resolution which will provide the county’s Notice of Intent to use the Non Ad Valorem Collection Process. The resolution must be adopted to continue. Mr. Stewart stressed that adoption of the resolution is a procedural step and does not impose the assessment. The resolution must be adopted prior to January 1 and most be advertised for four consecutive weeks. Subsequent to adoption of the resolution, a public hearing will be held to adopt an ordinance establishing the MSBU for each subdivision. Mr. Stewart stated there are also four roads currently ready to move forward: Forest Shores Drive (Mary Esther), Terry Lane (Crestview), 0ld Hickory Drive/Gibbs Drive (Crestview), and McCauley Road (Baker). Mr. Boyles asked if the document could be enlarged by amendment to include additional streets than those 1listed above. Mr. Stewart replied staff will need direction to include those in the advertisement. Mr. Harris said he would like to see “all inclusive” language and make decisions as we go. Mr. Harris made motion, seconded by Mr. Goodwin, to schedule a public hearing on December 1 to consider adoption of the resolution to provide the county’s Notice of Intent to use the Non Ad Valorem Collection Process and include all roads. Mr. Goodwin requested an explanation on the road names, asking if it is for the roads in The Pines and Triple Lake Estates and the additional ones named by Mr. Stewart. Mr. Boyles replied the motion should include all those names. Mr. Goodwin clarified that it is to approve staff’s recommendation with the modification made by Mr. Stewart. Mr. Goodwin stated that he must disclose that his family would benefit by adding McCauley Road because they own property there. Mr. Stewart responded that 1is not a conflict of interest type situation because this i1s a procedural mechanism to be adopted at a future date. He continued, saying further evaluation will be needed when the Board looks at the individual roads. Mr. Goodwin commented that he would like to see this process considered for stormwater issues.
