Authorization
REQUEST: The Finance Department is requesting the City Commission consider the Adoption of
Resolution 2004-42, relating to the Oak Forest Wall and Beautification Assessment Area.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this request is for the City Commission to adopt Resolution 2004-42,
relating to the Oak Forest Assessment Area. This Resolution (1) Amends Resolution No. 2000-06, by
adding flexibility in the application of improvement assessment proceeds; (2) Amends Resolution No.
2000-10, by increasing the maximum annual maintenance assessment (depending on the Commission's
action tonight); (3) Approves the Assessment Roll for the Oak Forest Wall and Beautification District for
Fiscal Year 2004/2005; (4) Establishes the lien associated with the Assessment Area; and (5) Directs that
the Assessment Roll be Certified to the Seminole County Tax Collector.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. The City sent a notice of a public hearing scheduled for August 9, 2004 to each property owner
via U.S. mail on July 20, 2004, as well as, published a notice of public hearing in the Sunday,
July 18, 2004, Orlando Sentinel, pursuant to Ordinance No. 98-704, in order to increase the
Maintenance Assessment above the maximum amount established by the City's previous
notice to owners sent out on April 19, 2000. The increase in the assessment, from a maximum
of $24.00 per Benefit Unit to a maximum of $40.82 per Benefit Unit, is needed for
maintenance of new landscaping and irrigation along the Oak Forest Subdivision Wall. The
assessment rolls by parcel number and alphabetically by property owner proposed at the
August 9, 2004 Public Hearing were available in the lobby and the City Clerk's office for that
meeting.
. On August 9, 2004, the Public Hearing was held to discuss Resolution No. 2004-30 (see
attached copy of the agenda item). Residents from the Oak Forest subdivision attended the
Public Hearing and voiced their concerns associated with the additional landscaping as well as
the increased maintenarlce assessment. After hearing the comments from the Public and the
President of the Oak Forest Wall and Beautification District Advisory Committee, the City
Commission instructed City Staff to send out a non-binding "straw" ballot (see copy attached)
to all the home owners of record within the Oak Forest subdivision to compile feedback
regarding their acceptance or rejection of the proposed improvements and increased
maintenance assessment. These Ballots were due no later than September 8, 2004 to the City
Clerk's Office located at City Hall.
Regular Agenda Item 507

. The Ballot contained one item to vote on: "Relative to the proposed improvements to the Oak
Forest Wall and Beautification District it is my wish that the City Commission Accept/Reject
the proposed improvements and related increase in maintenance assessments to maintain these
improvements:" The total ballots certified by the City Clerk (see attached) were as follows:

Regarding the Oak Forest Assessment District Budget for FY 05 the Commission is faced with two
different but related issues: increasing assessments to pay for existing levels of maintenance and proposed
new improvements.
1. Fundin2 of Existin2 Service Levels
As shown below an increase in assessments from $24.00 to $32.00, or preferably $34.00 per benefit
unit is required to maintain current service levels and to maintain fund balances in accordance with
City policy.
An estimated $31,815 in expenditures is required to fund existing service levels in FY 05.
As shown below in the first column, maintaining the current $24 assessment rate and maintaining
current service levels would reduce fund balance below the fund balance policy. An increase in
assessments from $24.00 to $32.00 per benefit unit would fund current service levels in FY 05, and
provide three years of rate stabilization while maintaining our fund balance policy. An increase from
$24.00 to $34.00 would eliminate the use of fund balance for funding recurring maintenance cost in
FY 05, and provide 5-years of rate stabilization in future years while maintaining our fund balance
policy.
$24.00 $32.00 $34.00
FY05 FY05 JFY 05
Bud2et Bud2et Bud2et
Revenue $22,460 $30,340 $31,815
Expense $31.815 $31.815 $31.815
Surplus (Deficit) ($9,355) ($1,475) ( -0- )
Beginning Year Fund Balance $15,052 $15,052 $15,052
Ending Year Fund Balance $ 5,697 $ 13,577 $15,052
25% Fund Balance Policy $7,954 $7,954 $7,954
As shown below there are three reasons for the increase in assessment rates to fund existing levels
of maintenance in the FY 05 budget as follows:
Since the establishment of the fund, costs have increased as improvements have been added, such
as the median in Winter Springs Boulevard. Additionally, contract maintenance costs have
increased. Finally, the City has added costs that were not included in the initial year budget, such
Regular Agenda Item 507
September 13,2004
Page 3 of 4
as irrigation cost, plant replacement cost, insurance cost, clerk fees, and required statutory
reserves. All of these additional costs are intended to make the fund pay all of its cost.

TOTAL $15,664 $23,000 $29,000 $31,815
2. Funding New Improvements
As stated above, the non-binding vote in Oak Forest did not demonstrate a majority of the residents
expressing support for the proposed new improvements. Unfortunately, the majority of property
owners did not respond at all, leaving to interpretation the meaning of those who did respond. This
option would require an increase in benefit units from $22.00 per unit to $40.83 per benefit unit.
OPTIONS: In the summary the Commission has four options as follows:
1) Keep the maintenance assessment at $24.00 per Benefit Unit and reduce services levels within
the revenue produced by the $24.00 per Benefit Unit of $22,460. This would result in certain
noticeable deterioration of the asset.
2) Keep the maintenance assessment at $24.00 per Benefit Unit and maintain the current level of
services. Maintaining the current service levels will cost $31,815. The $24.00 per Benefit
Unit will produce only $22,460 in revenue resulting in a $9,355 reduction in the current
$15,052 Fund Balance and leaving only $5,697 in Fund Balance at the end of Fiscal Year
2004-2005. Our Fund Balance Policy requires a minimum fund balance of $7,954.
Additionally, a continuation of the $24.00 per Benefit Unit rate in Fiscal Year 2005-2006
would deplete the fund balance and result in an unlawful deficit in the fund.
3) Increase the maintenance assessment from $24.00 to $32.00 per Benefit Unit and maintain
current service levels. This would result in a $1,475 reduction in the fund balance and three
years of rate stabilization before fund balance would go below the 25% minimum fund balance
policy.
Relgu1l,lf Agenda Item 507
September 13,2004
Page 4 of 4
4) Increase the maintenance assessment from $24.00 to $34.00 per Benefit Unit. This option
would result in sufficient revenues to offset all maintenance cost within current revenue with
no reduction in the $15,052 fund balance in FY 05. Although the $15,052 Fund Balance
represents a 40% reserve rather than a 25% reserve, this would result in five to six years of rate
stabilization.
5) Increase the maintenance assessment from $24.00 to $40.82 per Benefit Unit. This would
implement the full program recommended by the Advisory Committee which includes
maintenance of current service levels, plus additional level of services associated with and
including the maintenance of landscape improvements (landscape and irrigation) along the Oak
Forest Wall.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Commission take the following actions:
I. Adopt one of the following assessment rate options:
a. $24 per benefit unit - reduce service levels, deteriorate the asset.
b. $24 per benefit tmit - maintain existing service levels, reducing fund balance $9,355, no
additional year of rate stabilization.
c. $32 per benefit unit - maintain current service levels with 3-year rate stabilization.
d. $34 per benefit unit - maintain current service levels with 5-year rate stabilization.
e. $40.82 per benefit unit - maintain current service levels, add new improvements, and
provide two additional years of rate stabilization while maintaining our fund balance
policy.
2. Adopt Resolution 2004-42 incorporating the assessment rate option chosen above.

AND CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO THE APPLICATION OF IMPROVEMENT
ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of Winter Springs, Florida, will
conduct a public hearing to consider increasing the Maintenance Assessments imposed in
the Oak Forest Assessment Area, as shown above, from $24.00 per Benefit Unit to
$40.82 per Benefit Unit, and amendment of certain provisions regarding the application
of Improvement Assessment proceeds. The public hearing will be held at 6:30pm on
August 9, 2004, in the City Hall - Commission Chambers, Winter Springs, Florida. In
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, persons needing a special
accommodation or an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should contact the City

objections with the City Commission within 20 days of this notice. Any person wishing

The assessments are imposed to fund capital and maintenance costs for the
privacy wall serving the Oak Forest Assessment Area. The project is referred to as the
Oak Forest Subdivision Wall. The assessment for each parcel of property within the Oak
Forest Assessment Area is based upon the parcel's proximity to the privacy wall
measured in "Benefit Units." The assignment of Benefit Units is based on the level of
benefit each lot receives from aesthetic and subdivision identity (all lots), noise
abatement (lots with the majority of their area within 600 feet of the Oak Forest
Subdivision Wall) and glare abatement (lots that abut the Oak Forest Subdivision Wall).

Assessment Resolution adopted by the City Commission on April 10, 2000 and May 10,

Annual capital and maintenance assessments to fund the Oak Forest Subdivision
Wall are being collected on the ad valorem tax bill for a period of 30 years, commencing
with the tax bill mailed in November 2000. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a
tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a loss of title. Future
annual capital assessments may be prepaid at the option of the property owner. However,
future annual maintenance assessments may not be prepaid.

conduct a public hearing to consider increasing the Maintenance Assessments imposed in
the Oak Forest Assessment Area, from $24.00 per Benefit Unit to $40.82 per Benefit

privacy wall and related improvements. The project to construct the privacy wall is
referred to as the Oak Forest Subdivision Wall. The construction and maintenance costs
of the Oak Forest Subdivision Wall are funded by assessments against the property
located within the Oak Forest Assessment Area. The construction and maintenance

Subdivision Wall measured in "Benefit Units." The assignment of Benefit Units is based
on the level of benefit each lot receives from aesthetic and subdivision identity (all lots),
noise abatement (lots with the majority of their area within 600 feet of the Oak Forest
Subdivision Wall) and glare abatement (lots that abut the Oak Forest Subdivision Wall).
A more specific description of the assessment program is set forth in the Initial
Assessment Resolution and Final Assessment Resolution adopted by the City
Commission on April 10, 2000 and May 10, 2000, respectively. Copies of the Initial

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS FACT SHEET
The Oak Forest Wall and Beautification District Advisory Board is proposing additional improvements that will result in an
increase of the yearly maintenance assessments.
FREOUENTL Y ASKED OUESTIONS
Q: What improvements are being proposed?
A: The Advisory Board proposes to install new landscaping
that will greatly enhance the beauty of the wall along
Tuskawilla Road. They also propose to install new
inigation along the wall to preserve both new and
existing plant material.
Q: Why is this project being proposed?
A: These improvements represent an important part of the
Advisory Board's plan to increase property values by
enhancing the image that Oak Forest presents to the
market place. As you probably know, property values
increased dramatically following the completion of the
initial improvements which included construction of
the wall on Tuskawilla Road and landscaping. .
Q: How does this project benefit Oak Forest Property Owners?
A: Based upon previous beautification projects, your Advisory
Board believes the enhanced beauty of the wall resulting from
the proposed improvements will continue to elevate property
values and the attractiveness of Oak Forest properties to
potential home buyers.
Q: Are other projects being considered that will increase my
assessments?
A: No. The Advisory Board's goal is for Oak Forest to be as
good as it can be within a reasonable cost. The proposed
project completes the Advisory Board's plan for accomplishing
this goal.
Q: Will the proposed project require additional debt financing?
A: No. Additional debt financing will not be required.
Q: Does the proposed project extend the length of the wall?
A: No, The proposed project enhances the existing wall
only.

have three tiers based upon benefits received by the
improvements as follows:

Tier 2 = 1.10 Benefit Units for Beautification and Road
Noise Reduction.
Tier 3 = 1.25 Benefit Units For Beautification, Road Noise
Reduction, and Public Safety.
* Benefit units are factored by property's proximity to the wall.
Q: How will the various tiers be affected by the
proposed increase?
A: See Table below for tier rate change schedule.

crease?
A: The improvements will result in your maintenance
assessment increasing $16.82 per year or $1.40 per
month, per benefit unit. There would be no increase
in your capital assessment as a result of these
improvements.
