SUBJECT:
Seacrest/Del-Ida Special Assessment District-
Resolution of Necessity
The attached resolution, if approved, will authorize City staff to prepare the assessment
roll, mail notices, and advertise a public hearing for the Seacrest/Del-Ida Special
Assessment District. The total projected cost for the construction of the sidewalks with
driveway aprons, landscaping, repaying and regrading of swales, roundabouts, and
landscaping medians is $1,543,900.50. The property owners will be assessed for one half
of this cost or $771,950.25. The City shall pay the other half of the cost.
The Seacrest/Del-Ida Neighborhood Plan called for the cost of the improvements to be
divided by thirds between the City, CRA and the property owners. The CRA will not be
responsible for a third of the special assessment cost as they will be providing their share
of the costs under the Neighborhood Plan in the purchase of land and construction of
parking lots in the Assessment District. The purchase of the land and construction of the
parking lots was not included in the special assessment cost.
The City Commission must approve the resolution of necessity in order for City staff to
prepare the assessment roll. The City will publish the resolution for two consecutive
weeks after adoption by the Commission.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call.
