[00:01:54] resolution number 2024-21 approval of the annual assessment for stormwater management [00:02:01] services. This is resolution number 2024-22. Resolution number 2024-21, a resolution of [00:02:21] the City Council of New Port Richey, Florida approving the fiscal year 2024-2025 non-abalarm [00:02:27] assessment role for stormwater management services directing certification of the assessment [00:02:32] role to the Pasco County tax collector and providing an effective date. Actually, I'm [00:02:41] going to ask that Ms. Dunn represent the agenda item. This item is before the City Council [00:02:52] to solicit public comment on the stormwater utility assessment levied against all developed [00:02:56] properties in the City and to adopt resolution number 2024-21, which approves the assessment [00:03:02] and allows for certification to Pasco County. In September 2001, the City Council adopted [00:03:07] an ordinance establishing a stormwater utility assessment in the City of New Port Richey. [00:03:15] Section 403.0893 Florida Statute specifically authorizes a municipality to establish stormwater [00:03:21] management as a municipal utility function for which utility fees may be levied. The [00:03:26] ordinance created a method of generating revenue for the stormwater utility by way of assessment. [00:03:32] These assessment fees are collected each year as non-abalarm assessments to the property [00:03:36] owners under the provisions of Chapter 197 Florida Statutes. These fees are chargeable [00:03:41] to the property owner regardless of whether the property is tenant occupied or not. The [00:03:47] City has found that the use of non-abalarm assessment is the most equitable method of [00:03:50] providing the necessary funding for improvements and extensions of the City's stormwater utility [00:03:54] system. Each year the City must certify its stormwater non-abalarm assessment role. As [00:03:59] part of that process, parcel owners who were not assessed a stormwater non-abalarm assessment [00:04:04] in the previous year are given an opportunity to make public comment and address the City [00:04:08] Council concerning the stormwater non-abalarm assessment. The billing of the stormwater [00:04:12] assessment fee is administered by Pasco County and can be seen as a line item on the non-abalarm [00:04:18] portion of the County Tax Bill. All property owners receive notice of their non-abalarm [00:04:23] assessment on their term notice. The stormwater utility fee is established by City Ordinance. [00:04:28] The dollar amount of the stormwater utility fee is $80 per equivalent residential unit. [00:04:34] This item is before the City Council to solicit the public comment on the stormwater utility [00:04:40] assessment levied against all developed property in the City and to adopt Resolution No. 2024-21 [00:04:46] which approves the assessment and allows for certification to Pasco County. [00:04:49] Do we have any public comment? I'm seeing everybody rush forward. We'll bring it back [00:04:55] for discussion. I move to approve. Second. Any comments? No, it hasn't changed from last [00:05:03] year so I'm good with that. Well, I'm good. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Those [00:05:09] opposed? Three nothing. Moving on to public hearing. Resolution 2024-22, approve the annual

[00:07:42] Moving on to the public hearing 2024-23 approval of the annual assessment for street [00:07:49] or paving services, excuse me. [00:07:51] This is Resolution No. 2024-23, a resolution of the City Council of New Port Richey, Florida [00:07:55] approving the fiscal year 2024-2025 non-abalarm assessment rule for street and road paving [00:08:02] services, directing certification of the assessment rule to the Pasco County Tax Collector [00:08:06] and providing an effective date. [00:08:09] As indicated by the City Attorney, this agenda item relates to road and street paving assessments [00:08:17] and is contained in Resolution No. 2024-23 and it approves the assessment for certification [00:08:27] of Pasco County and this road paving program was effectuated in 2017 and Mrs. Dunn will [00:08:41] further represent the agenda item. [00:08:43] In 2017, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a road and street paving assessment [00:08:48] in the City of New Port Richey. [00:08:50] The ordinance created a means of recovering costs incurred by the City in providing paving [00:08:53] services. [00:08:54] These fees are collected each year as a non-abalarm assessment to the property owners under the [00:08:59] provisions of Chapter 197 Florida Statutes. [00:09:01] These fees are chargeable to the property owner regardless of whether or not a property [00:09:05] is tenant occupied. [00:09:06] The City has found that the use of the non-abalarm assessment is the most equitable method of [00:09:10] providing the necessary funding for providing paving services within the City. [00:09:15] Each year, the City must certify its paving non-abalarm assessment role with Pasco County. [00:09:19] As part of that process, parcel owners who were not assessed a paving non-abalarm assessment [00:09:23] in the previous year are given an opportunity to make public comment and address the City [00:09:28] Council concerning the paving non-abalarm assessment. [00:09:31] The billing of the paving assessment fee is administered by Pasco County and can be seen [00:09:35] as a line item in the non-abalarm portion of the County Tax Bill. [00:09:39] All property owners receive notice of their non-abalarm assessments on their term notice. [00:09:43] The fee is established at $85 per equivalent residential unit. [00:09:48] So this item is brought before the City Council to solicit public comment on the paving assessment [00:09:52] fee levied against all developed property in the City and to adopt Resolution No. 2024-23, [00:09:58] which approves the assessment and allows for certification to Pasco County. [00:10:02] Do we have any public comment? [00:10:05] I'll bring it back for discussion and vote. [00:10:08] I move to approve. [00:10:10] Second. [00:10:11] Comments? [00:10:12] No. [00:10:13] I can only say, since this program came about, it's the only program where people get taxed [00:10:18] to compliment us instead of nabbing when it goes in front of their yard or their, you know, [00:10:23] driveway or whatever because it's just a small amount and it's... [00:10:27] Everybody loves pretty roads. [00:10:28] Yeah, roads aren't pretty, but when they got paved, then they are pretty. [00:10:33] All those in favor, signify by aye. [00:10:35] Aye. [00:10:36] Those opposed, three nothing. [00:10:39] Moving on to City.
