§ 19-116. Adoption of final assessment resolution.
Latest version.
At the day and time named in such notice, or to which an adjournment or continuance
may be taken by the city commission, the city commission shall receive any oral or
written objections of interested persons and may then, or at any subsequent meeting
of the city commission adopt the final assessment resolution which shall (A) confirm,
modify, or repeal the initial assessment resolution with such amendments, if any,
as may be deemed appropriate by the city commission; (B) establish the rate of assessment
to be imposed in the upcoming fiscal year; (C) establish a maximum assessment rate
that may be imposed in the event such rate was included in the initial assessment
resolution; (D) approve the initial assessment roll, with such amendments as it deems
just and right; and (E) determine the method of collection. The adoption of the final
assessment resolution by the city commission shall constitute a legislative determination
that all parcels assessed derive a special benefit from the fire rescue services,
facilities, or programs to be provided or constructed and a legislative determination
that the fire rescue assessments are fairly and reasonably apportioned among the properties
that receive the special benefit. All written objections to the final assessment resolution
shall be filed with the city manager at or before the time or adjourned time of such
hearing. The final assessment resolution shall constitute the annual rate resolution
for the initial fiscal year in which fire rescue assessments are imposed or reimposed
hereunder.
