…body
EXPLANATION:
I. Resolution No. AC2016-03 sets forth the Acme Improvement District budget and related non-ad valorem assessment for Fiscal Year 2016/2017.
The budget for Acme Improvement District totals approximately $6.92 million at the non-ad valorem assessment rate of $230 per assessment unit. This is the same as last year’s rate and the proposed assessment approved for Truth in Millage (TRIM) purposes on July 12, 2016
II. Resolution No. AC2016-04 adopts the Water and Wastewater utility budget for Fiscal Year 2016/2017. The budget for the utility totals $19.56 million excluding depreciation.
For the fourth consecutive year, no change in water and wastewater rates is proposed for FY 2016/2017. The utility rate schedule is shown unchanged in Exhibit A of the resolution.
III. Resolution No. R2016-54 adopts the Solid Waste Collection Program budget and related non-ad valorem assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2016/2017.
The budget for the Solid Waste Collection Program totals approximately $3.94 million excluding depreciation.
Solid Waste assessment rates are proposed at $135 per curbside unit and $100 per containerized unit. This is the same as the proposed assessment approved for TRIM purposes on July 12, 2016 and $5 less per unit than the prior year.
Exhibit B for Resolution No. R2016-54 sets forth the rates for FY 2016/2017. The Resolution provides for the Solid Waste Collection Program non ad-valorem assessment rates and special services rates; and authorizes Wellington to collect, at the time of issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy to newly constructed residential units, the same Solid Waste Collection and Recycling fee on a pro-rata basis, as all other residential units pay through the annual property assessment process. Funds received from the collection of the disposal fee will be used to compensate the Contractor for their disposal costs not covered by fees collected through the annual property assessment from assessed residential units. The fee collected is at the same rate as that collected by the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County for disposal costs.
Exhibit C for the Resolution presents the Solid Waste Disposal Service rates for FY 2016/2017. The Solid Waste Authority assessment for single family units is proposed to remain the same at $170 per unit and $97 per multifamily/containerized unit.
IV. Resolution No. R2016-55 adopts the Lake Wellington Professional Centre budget for Fiscal Year 2016/2017. The budget for the enterprise totals $763,000 excluding depreciation.
V. Resolution No. R2016-56 adopts the Saddle Trail Park South Neighborhood Improvement Area non-ad valorem assessment rates for Fiscal Year 2016/2017. The budget for the assessment revenue totals $278,000 (adjusted for 5% discounts) in the Debt Service Fund and will be assigned to payment of the 15-year bond issued in 2016. The Debt Service Fund allocations will be adopted at the September budget hearings for governmental funds.
