(C) The availability of payment options that allow a property owner either to pay an Initial Prepayment of the System Development Fee or to pay the System Development Fee over a period of years as Annual Wastewater Assessments provides a special benefit to property and encourages the property owner to pay the assessable amounts on a timely basis. (D) Since the System Development Fee and related costs are directly related to each specific parcel of property to be assessed, the wastewater assessment program provides an equitable method of funding the System Development Fee and related costs. 5

8 ARTICLE II WASTEWATER ASSESSMENTS SECTION DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TO BE ASSESSED. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed in the Cudjoe Inner Island expansion area as adopted on January 16, 2013 by the Board of County Commissioners and properties listed in the Cudjoe Inner Islands that due to timing of development or changes in use, may not have been included on the non-ad valorem tax roll certified in September 2012(Appendix A) SECTION IMPOSITION OF ASSESSMENTS. Wastewater Assessments shall be imposed for a period of 20 years. The first Annual Wastewater Assessment for the Cudjoe Regional Inner Island expansion area and newly developed properties not included on the non-ad valorem tax roll certified in September 2012 will be included on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November When imposed, the wastewater assessment for each Fiscal Year shall constitute a lien upon such Tax Parcels pursuant to the Ordinance. SECTION PREPAYMENT AMOUNTS. In the initial year, the amount necessary to prepay the System Development Fee in full for each Tax Parcel shall be $4,500 per EDU. In each successive year, a Prepayment Amount for each Tax Parcel shall be computed annually. SECTION COMPUTATION OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS. The Annual Wastewater Assessment shall be computed for each Tax Parcel as the sum of (1) the Annual System Development Fee Payment, and (2) the Collection Cost. The Annual System Development Fee Payment is computed as the unpaid balance of the System Development Fee amortized together with interest up to 5% per annum, over the remaining term for such tax parcel. The interest rate applied will be determined based on the interest rate obtained by Monroe County to borrow funds to complete the projects. SECTION PREPAYMENT OPTION. The owner of each Tax Parcel subject to the Wastewater Assessments shall be entitled to prepay all future unpaid Annual Wastewater Assessments upon payment of an amount equal to the sum of (1) the Annual Wastewater Assessment and (2) the Adjusted Prepayment Amount.
