SECTION 1.03. GENERAL FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined
and declared that:
(A) Pursuant to Article VIII, Section 2(b) of the Florida Constitution, and sections
166.021 and 166.041, Florida Statutes, the City Commission has all powers of local self-
government to perform municipal functions and to render municipal services except when
prohibited by law and such power may be exercised by the enactment of legislation in the
form of City ordinances.
(B) The City Commission may exercise any governmental, corporate, or
proprietary power for a municipal purpose except when expressly prohibited by law, and the
City Commission may legislate on any subject matter on which the Legislature may act,
except those subjects described in (a), (b), (c), and (d) of section 166.021 (3), Florida
Statutes. The subject matter of paragraphs (a), (b), (c), and (d) of section 166.021 (3),
Florida Statutes, are not relevant to imposition of assessments related to Local
Improvements within the City.
(C) The City Commission has enacted the Ordinance to provide for the creation
of Assessed Areas and authorize the imposition of Tuscawilla Local Improvement
Assessments to fund the construction of Local Improvements to serve the property located
therein.
9
(D) The City Commission desires to create the Tuscawilla Improvement Area as
an Assessed Area under the Ordinance and to fund the Tuscawilla Improvements. The
Tuscawilla Improvements constitute Local Improvements, as defined in the Ordinance and
in this Initial Local Improvement Assessment Resolution.
(E) The Tuscawilla Improvements will provide a special benefit to all Tax Parcels
located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area, other than Public Use Parcels, by
improving and enhancing the exterior subdivision boundaries, the interior subdivision areas,
the subdivision identity, and the subdivision aesthetics and safety, thus enhancing the
value, use and enjoyment of such property. Due to their use, Public Use Parcels will not
derive a special benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements.
(F) The special benefit to be derived by Improved Parcels within the Tuscawilla
Improvement Area from construction of the Tuscawilla Local Improvements will be
substantially proportional to the area of Buildings located thereon. Since approximately 90
percent of the Tax Parcels located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area are Single-
Family Residential Parcels, the number of ERUs attributable to Improved Parcels within the
Tuscawilla Improvement Area is properly derived from an ERU Value based on the average
Building area of the Single-Family Residential Units located within the Tuscawilla
Improvement Area.
(G) The City Commission hereby finds and determines that the Tuscawilla Local
Improvement Assessments, to be imposed in accordance with this Initial Local Improvement
Assessment Resolution, provide an equitable method of funding construction of the
Tuscawilla Improvements by fairly and reasonably allocating the cost to specially benefitted
10
property, based upon the number of ERUs attributable to each benefitted property in the
manner hereinafter described.

Improvement Assessment Roll shall be maintained on file in the offices of the City Manager
and open to public inspection. The foregoing shall not be construed to require that the

ARTICLE III
TUSCAWILLA LOCAL IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENTS
SECTION 3.01.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT AREA. The
proposed Tuscawilla Improvement Area shall include the property located within the
Tuscawilla Planned Unit Development, as more specifically identified in Appendix C
attached hereto. The Tuscawilla Improvement Area is proposed for the purpose of
enhancing the use and enjoyment of property located therein by funding the Tuscawilla
Improvements.
SECTION 3.02.
IMPOSITION OF ASSESSMENTS.
Tuscawilla Local
Improvement Assessments shall be imposed against all Tax Parcels located within the
Tuscawilla Improvement Area, other than Public Use Parcels, for each Fiscal Year in which
Obligations remain outstanding, the amount of which shall be computed in accordance with
this Article III. When imposed, the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment for each
Fiscal Year shall constitute a lien upon the Tax Parcels located in the Tuscawilla
Improvement Area, pursuant to the Ordinance.
SECTION 3.03. CLASSIFICATION OF TAX PARCELS. Each Tax Parcel
located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area shall be assigned to one of the following
classifications: Single-Family Residential Parcel, Multi-Family Residential Parcel,
Nonresidential Parcel, Vacant Parcel, or Public Use Parcel.
14
SECTION 3.04.
ERU ASSIGNMENTS. The number of ERUs attributable to
each Tax Parcel within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area shall be determined in the manner
set forth in this Section 3.04.
(A) SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARCELS. The City Commission hereby
finds and determines that each Single-Family Residential Parcel will derive a substantially
equivalent special benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements. Since the
ERU Value is equal to the average Building area of the Single-Family Residential Units
located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area, 1.0 ERUs will be assigned to each Single-
Family Residential Parcel.
(B) MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL PARCELS. The City Commission hereby
finds and determines that each Multi-Family Residential Unit will derive a substantially
equivalent special benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements. Since the
average Building area of the Multi-Family Residential Units is 1,218 square feet,
approximately 60 percent of the average Building area of Single-Family Residential Units,
0.6 ERUs will be assigned to each Multi-Family Residential Unit. Accordingly, the number
of ERUs attributable to each Multi-Family Residential Parcel shall be determined by
multiplying the number of Multi-Family Residential Units located thereon by 0.6.
(C) NONRESIDENTIAL PARCELS. The City Commission hereby finds and
determines that (1) a Nonresidential Parcel with a Building area equal to the ERU Value will
derive a special benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements that is
substantially equivalent to that derived by a Single-Family Residential Unit, (2) a
Nonresidential Parcel with a Building area greater than the ERU Value will derive a special
15
benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements that is proportionally greater than
a Single-Family Residential Unit, and (3) each Nonresidential Parcel will derive a special
benefit from construction of the Tuscawilla Improvements that is at least equal to a Single-
Family Residential Unit. Accordingly, the number of ERUs attributable to each
Nonresidential Parcel shall be determined by dividing its primary Building square footage
by the ERU Value; provided however, that at least 1.0 ERUs shall be assigned to each
Nonresidential Parcel.
(D) VACANT PARCELS. The City Commission hereby finds and determines that
each Vacant Parcel is subject to development in a manner that would result in the
assignment of at least 1.0 ERUs. Since the extent of development cannot be predicted
accurately, 1.0 ERUs will be assigned to each Vacant Parcel. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if a permanent Single-Family Residential Unit constructed on the common lot line
of two Platted Lots on the date hereof, no ERUs will be assigned to the second Platted Lot.
Upon subdivision or development of a Vacant Parcel, the number of ERUs attributable
thereto will be adjusted in the manner set forth in Section 3.10 hereof.
(E) PUBLIC USE PARCELS. The City Commission hereby finds and determines
that due to their use, Public Use Parcels will not derive a special benefit from construction
of the Tuscawilla Improvements. Accordingly, no ERUs will be assigned to Public Use
Parcels.
16
SECTION 3.05. PREPAYMENT AMOUNTS.
(A) Upon adoption of the Final local Improvement Assessment Resolution, an
Initial Prepayment Amount for each Tax Parcel located within the Tuscawilla Improvement
Area shall be computed by (1) dividing (a) the number of ERUs attributable to such Tax
Parcel by (b) the total number of ERUs attributable to Tax Parcels within the Tuscawilla
Improvement Area, and (2) multiplying the result by the estimated Capital Cost.
(B) Following issuance of the Original Obligations, an Adjusted Prepayment
Amount for each Tax Parcel, other than those Tax Parcels as to which the Tuscawilla local
Improvement Assessment has been prepaid prior to issuance of the Original Obligations,
shall be computed by multiplying (1) the amount computed by dividing (a) the Initial
Prepayment Amount established herein for such Tax Parcel by (b) the sum of (i) the
aggregate Initial Prepayment Amounts for all Tax Parcels within the Tuscawilla
Improvement Area and (ii) the aggregate comparable prepayment amounts computed for
all Tax Parcels against which a special assessment has been imposed to finance other
local Improvements funded from proceeds of the Original Obligations, in each case
excluding those Tax Parcels as to which the Tuscawilla local Improvement Assessment
has been prepaid prior to issuance of the Original Obligations, by (2) the principal amount
of the Original Obligations. The Adjusted Prepayment Amount for each Tax Parcel shall
be revised annually, as provided in Section 3.06(J) hereof.
(C) Following issuance of any Refunding Obligations, a new Adjusted Prepayment
Amount for each Tax Parcel, other than those Tax Parcels as to which the Tuscawilla local
Improvement Assessment has been prepaid prior to issuance of such Refunding
17
Obligations, shall be computed by multiplying (1) the amount computed by dividing (a) the
Adjusted Prepayment Amount for such Tax Parcel by (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate
Adjusted Prepayment Amounts for all Tax Parcels within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area
and (ii) the aggregate comparable prepayment amounts computed for all Tax Parcels
against which a special assessment has been imposed to finance other Local
Improvements funded from proceeds of the Obligations being refunded, in each case
excluding those Tax Parcels as to which the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment
has been prepaid prior to issuance of such Refunding Obligations, by (2) the principal
amount of such Refunding Obligations. The Adjusted Prepayment Amount for each Tax
Parcel shall be revised annually, as provided in Section 3.06(J) hereof.
SECTION 3.06. COMPUTATION OF ASSESSMENTS. Tuscawilla Local
Improvement Assessments will be imposed for each Fiscal Year in which Obligations
remain outstanding and collected on the ad valorem tax bill in the manner authorized by the
Uniform Assessment Collection Act. The annual Tuscawilla Local Improvement
Assessment shall be computed for each Tax Parcel in the manner set forth in this Section
3.06.
(A) DEBT SERVICE AMOUNT. A "Debt Service Amount" shall be computed for
each Fiscal Year as the amount which would be payable in respect of the Obligations in
accordance with a debt service schedule prepared under the following assumptions: (1) the
principal installments equal those established in the Funding Agreement, and (2) the
Obligations bear interest at a rate one full percentage point in excess of the actual rates;
provided however, that the "Debt Service Amount" for any Fiscal Year shall not exceed the
18
principal amount of Obligations then outstanding plus interest thereon at rates one full
percentage point in excess of the actual rates.
(B) PREPAYMENT MODIFICATION FACTOR. A "Prepayment Modification
Factor" shall be computed for each Fiscal Year by dividing (1) the amount computed by
subtracting (a) the sum of the Adjusted Prepayment Amounts, as of the date on which the
Obligations are issued by the City, for all Tax Parcels as to which prepayment has been
made following issuance of the Obligations, from (b) the total principal amount of
Obligations initially issued by the City, by (2) the total principal amount of Obligations initially
issued by the City.
(C) MODIFIED DEBT SERVICE AMOUNT. A "Modified Debt Service Amount"
shall be computed for each Fiscal Year by multiplying (1) the Debt Service Amount by (2)
the Prepayment Modification Factor.
(D) RECOMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED PREPAYMENT AMOUNT. If due to
subdivision or development of a Parcel Unit, the number of ERUs existing on the immediate
prior June 1 is different than the number of ERUs used to compute the annual Tuscawilla
Local Improvement Assessments for the previous Fiscal Year (excluding any difference
attributable to prepayments made after the Assessments for the prior Fiscal Year were
computed), the Adjusted Prepayment Amount for each Tax Parcel shall be recomputed by
(A) dividing (1) the number of ERUs attributable to the Tax Parcel on the immediate prior
June 1 by (2) the number of ERUs used to compute the previous Fiscal Year's annual
Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessments for such Tax Parcel, (B) multiplying the result
by the total number of ERUs used to compute Initial Prepayment Amounts for all Tax
Parcels located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area (notwithstanding whether or not
19
prepayments have been made in respect of such ERUs), (C) dividing the result by the total
number of ERUs existing within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area on the immediate prior
June 1 (notwithstanding whether or not prepayments have been made in respect of such
ERUs), and (D) multiplying the result by the Adjusted Prepayment Amount utilized to
compute the prior Fiscal Year's annual Assessment for such Tax Parcel. If recomputing the
Adjusted Prepayment Amount increases the annual Tuscawilla Local Improvement
Assessment or Adjusted Prepayment Amount payable in respect of any Tax Parcel to an
amount greater than that included in the notice provided to each property owner pursuant
to Section 2.05 hereof, the City Manager shall provide an additional notice to each property
owner in the manner described in Section 3.05 of the Ordinance, providing the date, time
and place that the City Commission will conduct a public hearing to approve the increased
annual Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment or Adjusted Prepayment Amount.
(E) ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE FACTOR. An "Annual Debt Service Factor" shall
be computed for each Fiscal Year by dividing (1) the Modified Debt Service Amount by (2)
the aggregate Adjusted Prepayment Amount.
(F) ANNUAL DEBT SERVICE COMPONENT. The "Annual Debt Service
Component" shall be computed for each Fiscal Year for each Tax Parcel by multiplying (1)
the Adjusted Prepayment Amount for such Tax Parcel by (2) the Annual Debt Service
Factor.
(G) COLLECTION COST COMPONENT. The "Collection Cost Component" shall
be computed each Fiscal Year for each Tax Parcel by (1) dividing (a) the Adjusted
Prepayment Amount for such Tax Parcel by (b) the sum of the aggregate Adjusted
Prepayment Amount, and (2) multiplying the result by the Collection Cost.
20
(H) STATUTORY DISCOUNT AMOUNT. The "Statutory Discount Amount" shall
be computed for each Tax Parcel as the amount by which section 129.01 (2)(b), Florida
Statutes, requires the City to discount reasonably anticipated receipts in connection with
preparation of its annual budget, such amount to be calculated by deducting (1) the sum of
(a) the Annual Debt Service Component and (b) the Collection Cost Component, from (2)
the amount computed by dividing (a) the sum of (I) the Annual Debt Service Component
and (ii) the Collection Cost Component, by (b) 0.95.
(I) TUSCAWILLA LOCAL IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT. The annual
Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment for each Tax Parcel shall be computed as the
sum of (1) the Annual Debt Service Component, (2) the Collection Cost Component and (3)
the Statutory Discount Amount.
(J) REVISION OF ADJUSTED PREPAYMENT AMOUNT. Upon issuance of the
ad valorem tax bill for each Fiscal Year, the Adjusted Prepayment Amount for each Tax
Parcel shall be recomputed by deducting (1) the amount computed by (a) dividing (I) the
principal component of the Debt Service Amount utilized to compute the Debt Service
Component for the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment Roll by (ii) the total Debt
Service Amount utilized to compute the Debt Service Component for the Tuscawilla Local
Improvement Assessment Roll and (b) multiplying the result by the Annual Debt Service
Component included on the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment Roll for the Tax
Parcel, from (2) the Adjusted Prepayment Amount utilized to compute the Annual Tuscawilla
Local Improvement Assessment included on the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment
Roll for such Tax Parcel.
21
(K) APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS. Proceeds from the annual
Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessments received during each Fiscal Year shall be
applied by the City as follows: (A) payment of the Collection Cost, (B) payment of any credit
or liquidity enhancement facility fees, administrative fees or remarketing fees attributable
to the Obligations, (C) payment or prepayment of any principal and interest becoming due
on the Obligations during such Fiscal Year, (D) reimbursement of any amounts advanced
by the City to pay principal and interest on the Obligations, and (E) prepayment of principal
on the Obligations becoming due in any future Fiscal Year.
SECTION 3.07. INITIAL PREPAYMENT OPTION.
(A) Following adoption of the Final Local Improvement Assessment Resolution,
the City Manager shall provide first class mailed notice to the owner of each Tax Parcel
subject to the Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessment of the owner's option to prepay
all future annual Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessments. On or prior to the date

final. The City shall not be required to refund any portion of a prepayment if (1) annual
Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessments will not be imposed for the full number of years
22
anticipated at the time of such prepayment or (2) there is a subsequent increase in the total
number of ERUs which would have decreased the amount of such prepayment.

such Tax Parcel, and (2) interest on the Adjusted Prepayment Amount, computed at a rate
one full percentage point in excess of the rate on the Obligations, from the most recent date
to which interest on the Obligations has been paid to the next date following such
prepayment on which the City can redeem Obligations after providing all notices required
to redeem all or any portion of the Obligations.
(B) During any period commencing on the date the annual Tuscawilla Local
Improvement Assessment Roll is certified for collection pursuant to the Uniform Assessment
Collection Act and ending on the next date on which unpaid ad valorem taxes become
delinquent, the City may reduce the amount required to prepay the future unpaid annual
Tuscawilla Local Improvement Assessments for the Tax Parcel by the amount of the

respect to such Tax Parcel.
(C) Except as provided in Section 3.10 hereof, the amount of all prepayments
made pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be final. The City shall not be required to refund
23

Re: Tax Parcel Number [Insert Number]
Tuscawilla Improvement Area
Dear Property Owner:
The Tuscawilla Improvement Area is being created to provide wing walls, median
improvements, street lights and street monuments within that area. The project to provide
such improvements is known as the Tuscawilla Improvements. The construction and
maintenance costs of the Tuscawilla Improvements will be funded by assessments against
the property located within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area. The construction and
maintenance assessment for each parcel of property is based on the number of ERUs
("equivalent residential units") contained within the Tuscawilla Improvement Area. A more
specific description of the assessment program is set forth in the Tuscawilla Improvement
Area Initial Local Improvement Assessment Resolution and the Tuscawilla Service Area
Initial Related Service Assessment Resolution adopted by the City Commission on July 12,
1999. Copies of the Tuscawilla Improvement Area Initial Local Improvement Assessment
Resolution, the Tuscawilla Service Area Initial Related Service Assessment Resolution, the
plans and specifications for the Tuscawilla Improvements, and the preliminary Tuscawilla
Assessment Roll including capital and maintenance assessments are available for your
review at the offices of the City Manager, located at 1126 East State Road 434, Winter
Springs, Florida. Information regarding the assessment for your specific property is
attached to this letter.
The City intends to issue bonds to finance the capital costs of this assessment
project. This will permit the capital cost attributable to your property to be amortized over
a period of thirty years. The estimated principal amount of the bonds required to finance
construction of the improvements is $ . However, you may choose to prepay
your capital assessment in full ($ per ERU) and avoid the additional financing cost.
Please do not send payment now. If the assessments are imposed, you will receive a
separate notice of time and place for payment.
If you do not choose to prepay during the period described in the next notice you will
receive, the amount necessary to pay your assessment in full will be increased by your
share of the financing cost. The City anticipates that financing costs will increase the
prepayment amount by approximately _ percent to $ per ERU.
The annual assessment will include:
X your share of the principal and interest on the bonds (unless you chose to
prepay that amount);
X your share of the maintenance costs;
X your share of the collection cost of the assessments; and
X the maximum discount allowed for early payment under the Uniform
Assessment Collection Act.
The City expects to collect approximately $ per year for this purpose.
The City intends to include annual assessments on your ad valorem tax bill. Failure to pay
your assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may
result in a loss of title.
The City Commission will hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. on August 9, 1999, in
the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1126 East State Road 434, Winter Springs,
Florida, for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed assessments, including
collection on the ad valorem tax bill. You are invited to attend and participate in the
hearing. You may also file written objections with the City Commission prior to or during the
hearing. If you decide to appeal any decision made by the City Commission with respect
to any matter considered at the hearing, you will need a record of the proceedings and may
need to ensure that a verbatim record is made, including the testimony and evidence upon
which the appeal is to be made. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if

Re: Initial Resolutions for Tuscawilla
Dear Mr. McLemore:
Enclosed please find the Tuscawilla Improvement Area Initial Local Improvement
Assessment and Initial Related Services Assessment Resolutions. The City Commission
has scheduled these resolutions to be discussed and approved on Monday, July 12, 1999.
The resolutions do not contain a specific description of the geographic area to be
assessed. Consequently, the resolutions indicate that the area descriptions are attached
as an appendix. When you develop a geographic description, all you need to do is attach
it as an appendix and then the resolutions will be complete.
Please call me with any questions or comments you may have.
Very truly yours,
Virginia Saunders Delegal
