WHEREAS, the Village Council desires to establish an enabling ordinance for special assessments to be utilized to finance necessary public improvements, including but not limited to roads, water, street lighting, sanitary sewer and other public improvements in the Village. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Ordinance Adopted. The Village Code is amended by adopting Chapter 29.1 "Special Assessments for Roads, Water, Street Lighting, Sanitary Sewer and Other Public Improvements" to read as follows: Sec. 29.1. Special Assessments for Roads, Water, Street Lighting, Sanitary Sewer and Other Public Improvements. Sec. 29.1-10. Authority for providing improvements and levying and collecting special assessments against property benefited. -- 1. The Village may, by resolution of the City Council: (a) Provide for the construction, reconstruction, repair, renovation, and upgrading of sanitary sewers to serve property in the Village, including any and all necessary components of the sanitary sewer system; (b) Provide for the construction, reconstruction, repair or upgrading of roadways, water utilities, street lighting, and any or all public improvements described in or authorized by Chapter 170, Fla. Stat., as if listed in full herein. (c) Provide for the payment of all or any part of the costs of any such improvements (referenced in subparagraph (a) or (b) above) by levying and collecting special assessments on the abutting, adjoining, contiguous, or other specially benefited property. 2. Special assessments may be levied only for the purposes enumerated in this section and shall be levied only on benefited real property at a rate of assessment based on the special benefit accruing to such property from such improvements when the improvements funded by the special assessment provide a benefit which is different in type or degree from benefits provided to the community as a whole. The term "improvements," as used in this Chapter includes any type of improvements referred to in paragraph (1) above. 3 This Chapter 29.1 is created pursuant to the Village's home rule power conferred by Section 2 of Article VIII of the Florida Constitution as codified in Section 166.021, Fla. Stat. Additional authority may be conferred by Chapter 170, Fla. Stat., however, this Chapter 29.1 is not solely dependent upon the authority of Chapter 170, Fla. Stat. Accordingly, to the extent that this Chapter 29.1 conflicts in any respects with Chapter 170, Fla. Stat., this Chapter 29.1 shall control. 4. In lieu of the use of bonds as a vehicle for financing the cost of the sanitary sewer improvements, the Village Council by ordinance authorizing the borrowing of funds may borrow funds from the State of Florida Revolving Fund for sanitary sewer 2 improvements (the "Loan"). The Council may by resolution provide for the repayment of the Loan in whole or in part by imposing special assessments against the property benefited. The Village Council shall take all steps necessary to assure that the Loan is timely and fully paid in accordance with its terms. Sec. 29.1-11. Method of prorating special assessments. --Special assessments against property deemed to be benefited by local improvements, as provided for in s. 29.1-10, shall be assessed upon the property specially benefited by the improvement in proportion to the benefits to be derived therefrom, said special benefits to be determined and prorated according to a per parcel or per dwelling unit basis, or according to the acreage, value, foot frontage of the respective properties specially benefited by said improvement, or by such other method as the Council may prescribe by resolution, so long as the amount of the assessment for each parcel of land is not in excess of the proportional benefits as compared to other assessments on other parcels of land. Sec. 29.1-12. Resolution required to declare special assessments. --When the Council determines to make any public improvement authorized by s. 29.1-10 and defray the whole or any part of the expense thereof by special assessments, said Council shall so declare by resolution stating the nature of the proposed improvement, designating the location of the improvements, and the part or portion of the expense thereof to be paid by special assessments, the manner in which said assessments shall be made, when said assessments are to be paid, what part, if any, shall be apportioned to be paid from the general improvement funds of the municipality; and said resolution shall also designate the lands upon which the special assessments shall be levied, and in describing said lands it shall be sufficient to describe them as "all lots and lands adjoining and contiguous or bounding and abutting upon such improvements or specially benefited thereby and further designated by the assessment plat hereinafter provided for." Such resolution shall also state the total estimated cost of the improvement. Such estimated cost may include the cost of construction or reconstruction, the cost of all labor and materials, the cost of all lands, property, rights, easements, and franchises acquired, financing charges, interest prior to and during construction and for 1 year after completion of construction, discount on the sale of special assessment bonds, if any, cost of plans and specifications, surveys of estimates of costs and of revenues, cost of engineering and legal services, and all other expenses necessary or incident to determining the feasibility or practicability of such construction or reconstruction, administrative expense, and such other expense as may be necessary or incident to the financing authorized. Sec. 29.1-13. Plans and specifications, --At the time of the adoption of the resolution provided for in s. 29.1-12, there shall be on file with the Village Clerk, an assessment plat showing the area to be assessed, with plans and specifications, and an estimate of the cost of the proposed improvement, which assessment plat, plans and specifications and estimate shall be open to the inspection of the public. Sec. 29.1-14. Publication of resolution. --Upon the adoption of the resolution provided for in s. 29.1-12, the Village Clerk shall cause said resolution to be published one time in a newspaper of general circulation published in the Village, and if there be no newspaper published in said Village, the Village Clerk shall cause said resolution to be published once a week for a period of 2 weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in Miami -Dade County. Additionally, the 3 publication shall be made twice in a local newspaper. Sec. 29.1-15. Preliminary assessment roll. --Upon the adoption of the resolution described in s. 29.1-12, the Council shall cause to be made a preliminary assessment roll in accordance with the method of assessment provided for in said resolution, which assessment roll shall be completed as promptly as possible by the Village Manager or his/her designee; said assessment roll shall show the lots and lands assessed and the amount of the benefit to and the assessment against each lot or parcel of land, and, if said assessment is to be paid in installments, the number of annual installments in which the assessment is divided shall also be entered and shown upon said assessment roll. Sec. 29.1-16. Publication of preliminary assessment roll. --Upon the completion of said preliminary assessment roll, the Council shall by resolution fix a time and place at which the owners of the property to be assessed or any other persons interested therein may appear before said Council and be heard as to the propriety and advisability of making such improvements, as to the cost thereof, as to the manner of payment therefor, and as to the amount thereof to be assessed against each property so improved. Twenty days notice in writing of such time and place shall be given to such property owners. The notice shall include the amount of the assessment and shall be served by mailing a copy to each of such property owners at his or her last known address, the names and addresses of such property owners to be obtained from the records of the property appraiser of Miami -Dade County or from such other sources as the Village Clerk or Village Manager deems reliable, proof of such mailing to be made by the affidavit of the Clerk or deputy clerk of the Village, said proof to be filed with the Clerk, provided, that failure to mail said notice or notices shall not invalidate any of the proceedings hereunder. Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall also be given by two publications a week apart in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village, and if there be no newspaper published in the Village the Village Clerk shall cause said notice to be published in like manner in a newspaper of general circulation published in Miami -Dade County; provided that the last publication shall be at least 1 week prior to the date of the hearing. Said notice shall describe the streets or other areas to be improved and advise all persons interested that the description of each property to be assessed and the amount to be assessed to each piece or parcel of property may be ascertained at the office of the Village Clerk. Such service by publication shall be verified by the affidavit of the publisher and filed with the Village Clerk. Sec. 29.1-17. Final consideration of special assessments; --At the time and place named in the notice provided for in s. 29.1-16, the Council shall meet and hear testimony from affected property owners as to the propriety and advisability of making the improvements and funding them with special assessments on property. Following the testimony, the Council shall make a final decision on whether to levy the special assessments. Thereafter, the governing authority shall meet as an equalizing board to hear and consider any and all complaints as to the special assessments and shall adjust and equalize the assessments on a basis of justice and right. When so equalized and approved by resolution of the Council, a final assessment roll shall be filed with the Council and City Clerk, and such assessments shall stand confirmed and remain legal, valid, and binding first liens upon the property against which such assessments are made until paid; however, upon completion of the improvement, the Village Manager shall credit to each of the assessments the difference in the assessment as originally made, approved, and confirmed and the proportionate part of the actual cost of the improvement to be paid by special assessments as finally determined upon the completion of 4 the improvement, but in no event shall the final assessments exceed the amount of benefits originally assessed. Promptly after such confirmation, the assessments shall be recorded by the Village Clerk in a special book, to be known as the "Improvement Lien Book," and the record of the lien in this book shall constitute prima facie evidence of its validity. The Council may by resolution grant a discount equal to all or a part of the payee's proportionate share of the cost of the project consisting of bond financing costs, such as capitalized interest, funded reserves, and bond discount included in the estimated cost of the project, or other financing costs, including financing pursuant to the State Revolving Fund program upon payment in full of any assessment during such period prior to the time such financing costs are incurred as may be specified by the Council. Sec. 29.1-18. Priority of lien; interest; and method of payment. --The special assessments shall be payable at the time and in the manner stipulated in the resolution providing for the improvement; shall remain liens, coequal with the lien of all state, county, district, and municipal taxes, superior in dignity to all other liens, titles, and claims, until paid; shall bear interest, at a rate not to exceed 8 percent per year (or lesser percent specified by resolution), or, if bonds are issued pursuant to this chapter, at a rate not to exceed 1 percent above the rate of interest at which the improvement bonds authorized pursuant to this chapter and used for the improvement are sold, from the date of the acceptance of the improvement; and may, by the resolution aforesaid and only for capital outlay projects, be made payable in equal installments over a period not to exceed 30 years, to which, if not paid when due, there shall be added a penalty at the rate of 1 percent per month, until paid. However, the assessments may be paid without interest at any time within 30 days after the improvement is completed and a resolution accepting the same has been adopted by the Council or at such later date as provided by the resolution of the Council. For sanitary sewer projects, the Council may, by resolution, provide for deferral of commencement of special assessment payments until connection to the improvements is required. Additionally, at its discretion, the Council may by resolution establish a program to defer payment of special assessments by low income property owners, whose income level and financial status would meet the criteria applied to affordable housing assistance under Section 8 of the Federal Housing and Community Development Act or similar criteria. Sec. 29.1-19. Legal proceedings may be instituted --Each annual installment provided for in s. 29.1-18 shall be paid upon the dates specified in said resolution, with interest upon all deferred payments, until the entire amount of said assessment has been paid, and upon the failure of any property owner to pay any annual installment due, or any part thereof, or any annual interest upon deferred payments, the Council shall cause to be brought the necessary legal proceedings by the Village Attorney to enforce payment thereof with all accrued interest and penalties, together with all legal costs incurred, including a reasonable attorneys' fee, to be assessed as part of the costs and in the event of default in the payment of any installment of an assessment, or any accrued interest on said assessment, the whole assessment, with the interest and penalties thereon, shall immediately become due and payable and subject to foreclosure. In the foreclosure of any special assessment, service of process against unknown or nonresident defendants may be had by publication, as now provided by law in other like suits. The foreclosure proceedings may be prosecuted to a sale and conveyance of the property involved in said proceedings as now provided by law in suits to foreclose mortgages; or, in the alternative, said proceeding may be instituted and prosecuted under chapter 173. 5 Sec. 29.1-20. Bonds may be issued. --After the equalization, approval and confirmation of the levying of the special assessments for improvements as provided by s. 29.1-17 and as soon as a contract for said improvement has been finally let, the Council may by ordinance authorize the issuance of bonds, to be designated "Improvement bonds, series No. ," in an amount not in excess of the aggregate amount of said liens levied for such improvements. Said bonds shall be payable from a special and separate fund, to be known as the "Improvement fund, series No. ," which shall be used solely for the payment of the principal and interest of said "Improvement bonds, series No. " and for no other purpose. Said fund shall be deposited in a separate bank account; and all the proceeds collected by the Village from the principal, interest, and penalties of said liens shall be deposited and held in said fund. Said bonds so issued shall never exceed the amount of liens assessed, and said bonds shall mature not later than 2 years after the maturity of the last installment of said liens. Said bonds shall bear certificates signed by the Village Clerk certifying that the amount of liens levied, the proceeds of which are pledged to the payment of said bonds, are equal to the amount of the bonds issued. The bonds may be delivered to the contractor in payment for his or her work or may be sold at public or private sale for not less than 95 percent of par and accrued interest, the proceeds to be used in paying for the cost of the work. Said bonds shall not be a general obligation of the Village, but shall be payable solely out of said assessments, installments, interest, penalties, provided that said bonds may be secured by any other revenues that may be legally available for such purpose. Any surplus remaining after payment of all bonds and interest thereon shall revert to the Village and be used for any municipal purpose. Bonds issued under this section may be refunded from time to time as provided in this section. Sec. 29.1-21. Authority to assure valid assessment. --If any special assessment made under the provisions of this chapter to defray the whole or any part of the expense of any said improvement shall be either in whole or in part annulled, vacated or set aside by the judgment of any court, or if the Council shall be satisfied that any such assessment is so irregular or defective that the same cannot be enforced or collected, or if the Council shall have omitted to make such assessment when it might have done so, the Council shall take all necessary steps to cause a new assessment to be made for the whole or any part of any improvement or against any property benefited by any improvement, following as nearly as may be the provisions of this chapter and in case such second assessment shall be annulled, said Council may obtain and make other assessments until a valid assessment shall be made. Sec. 29.1-22. Expenditures for improvements. --The Council may pay out of its general funds or out of any special fund that may be provided for that purpose such portion of the cost of any improvement as it may deem proper, as specified by resolution. Sec. 29.1-23. Assessment roll sufficient evidence of assessment. --Any informality or irregularity in the proceedings in connection with the levy of any special assessment under the provisions of this chapter shall not affect the validity of the special assessment where the assessment roll has been confirmed by the Council. The assessment roll as finally approved and confirmed shall be competent and sufficient evidence that the assessment was duly levied, that the assessment was duly made and adopted, and that all other proceedings adequate to the adoption of the assessment roll were duly had, taken, and performed as required by this chapter, and no variance from the directions hereunder shall be held material unless it be clearly shown that the party objecting was 6 materially injured thereby. However, nothing in this section shall relieve the Council from notifying the affected property owners of the special assessments as required by this chapter. Sec. 29.1-24. Denomination of bonds; interest; etc.. --Any bonds issued under this chapter shall be the denomination of $500, or some multiple thereof, and shall bear interest as provided in s. 215.84 until paid in full, payable annually or semiannually, and both principal and interest shall be payable at such place or places as the Council may determine. The form of such bonds shall be fixed by resolution and said bonds shall be signed by the mayor and the Village Clerk under the seal of the Village; the coupons, if any, shall be executed by the facsimile signatures of said officers. The delivery of any bond and coupon so executed at any time thereafter shall be valid although before the date of delivery the person signing such bond or coupons shall cease to hold office. Any bonds issued under this section shall have all the qualities of negotiable paper under the law merchant, and shall not be invalid for any irregularity or defect in the proceedings for the issue and sale thereof, and shall be incontestable in the hands of bona fide purchasers or holders thereof for value. Sec. 29.1-25. Construction and authority of this chapter. --This chapter shall be full authority for the issuance and sale of the bonds by this chapter authorized, and shall be construed as an additional and alternative method for the financing of the improvements referred to herein. No ordinance, resolution, election or proceeding in respect of the issuance of any bonds hereunder shall be necessary, except such as is required by this chapter or the Village Charter, and no publication of any resolution, ordinance, election, notice or proceeding relating to the issuance of the bonds provided for by this chapter shall be required, except such as required by this chapter. Sec. 29.1-26. Provisions supplemental. --This chapter shall not repeal any other ordinance relating to the subject matter hereof, but shall be deemed to provide a supplemental, additional, and alternative method of procedure for the benefit of the Village and shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose. Sec. 29.1-27. Actions to contest. --Any suit, action or proceeding in any court questioning the validity of any resolution imposing special assessments under the provisions of this Chapter or the sufficiency or the regularity or legality of the publication, or mailing of copies of the notice stating the place, date and hour for a public hearing or of any proceeding taken in connection with the levy of special assessments as provided in this Chapter, must be commenced within a period of thirty (30) days after the filing with the Village Clerk of a copy of the resolution imposing such special assessments pursuant to s. 29.1-17. After the expiration of such period of limitation, no right of action or defense founded upon the invalidity of any such proceeding shall be asserted, and no suit, action or proceeding shall be instituted with respect thereto. Section 2., Severability. The provisions of this Ordinance are declared to be severable and if any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections, sentences, 7 clauses, and phrases of this Ordinance but they shall remain in effect, it being the legislative intent that this Ordinance shall stand notwithstanding the invalidity of any part. Section 3. Inclusion in the Code. It is the intention of the Village Council, and it is hereby ordained that the provisions of this Ordinance shall become and made a part of the Code of the Village of Key Biscayne; that the sections of this Ordinance may be renumbered or relettered to accomplish such intentions; and that the word "Ordinance" shall be changed to "Section" or other appropriate word.
