(00386181.1 306-9001821) 6
150 SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
151 FAIR APPORTIONMENT. �..
152
153 It is hereby ascertained and declared that the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs provide a
154 special benefit to the Assessed Property based upon the following legislative determinations
155 and based upon that certain report entitled "City of Boynton Beach Fire Assessment
156 Memorandum," May 2008,prepared by Government Services Group, Inc., which is hereby
157 incorporated herein by reference. Each year since then, the City has engaged Government
158 Services Group to provide assistance to the City in implementing the annual Fire Rescue
159 Assessments, including review of rates and budgets, to maintain consistency with the
160 methodology used by the City and confirmed in Desiderio Corp. v. City of Boynton Beach,
161 39 So.3d 487 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010). There has been no change in law since the Desiderio
162 decision affecting the City's methodology.
163 GENERAL
164 (A) Upon the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determining the Fire
165 Rescue Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in the
166 Assessment Roll, the legislative determinations of special benefit ascertained and declared
167 in Section 1.04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and confirmed.
168 (B) It is fair and reasonable to use the Improvement Codes and the DOR Codes
169 of the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment because: (1)the Tax Roll database
170 employing the use of such property use codes is the most comprehensive, accurate, and
171 reliable information readily available to determine the property use and Building Area for
172 improved property within the City, and (2)the Tax Roll database within such property use
173 codes is maintained by the Property Appraiser and is thus consistent with parcel designations
174 on the Tax Roll which compatibility permits the development of an Assessment Roll in
175 conformity with the requirements of the Uniform Method of Collection.
{00386181.1 306-9001821) 7
176 (C) The data available in the Improvement Codes is more useful and accurate to
177 determine Building Area than relying exclusively upon the data maintained in the DOR Code
178 alone because (1)the data maintained in the Improvement Codes reveals the existence of a
179 Building with a different use than the use described on the DOR Code, (2)the Improvement
180 Codes represent records maintained by the Property Appraiser with the most information
181 relative to Building Area regardless of property use and(3)the City conducted field work to
182 ascertain Building use when sufficient information was not available.
183 COST APPORTIONMENT
184 (D) It is fair and reasonable and consistent with the decision from the Florida
185 Supreme Court in the case of City of North Lauderdale v. SMM Properties, Inc., 825 So. 2d
186 343 (Fla. 2002), to exclude from the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost amounts determined to
187 constitute the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
188 (E) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost among classifications of
189 improved property based upon historical demand for fire rescue services,but not Emergency
190 Medical Services, is fair and reasonable and proportional to the special benefit received.
191 (F) The Fire Rescue Incident Reports are the most reliable data available to
192 determine the potential demand for fire rescue services from property use and to determine
193 the benefit to property use resulting from the availability of fire rescue services to protect
194 and serve Buildings located within the Assessed Property and their intended occupants.
195 There exist sufficient Fire Rescue Incident Reports that document the historical demand for
196 fire rescue services from Assessed Property within the Property Use Categories. The
197 Demand Percentage that has been determined for each Property Use Category by an
198 examination of such Fire Rescue Incident Reports is consistent with the experience of the
199 City. Therefore,the use of Demand Percentages that were determined by an examination of
{00386181.1 306-9001821) 8
200 Fire Rescue Incident Reports is a fair and reasonable method to apportion the Fire Rescue
201 Assessed Costs among the Property Use Categories.
202 (G) The historical demand for fire rescue service availability for multi-family and
203 single-family Residential Property is substantially similar and any difference in the
204 percentage of documented fire rescue calls to such specific property uses is statistically
205 insignificant.
206 (H) As a result of the urbanized character of the City, the suppression of fire on
207 vacant property primarily benefits the Buildings within the adjacent improved property by
208 the containment of the spread of fire rather than the preservation of the vacant property.
209 Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to apportion any of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs
210 to vacant property and the Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting historical fire services
211 provided to vacant property were thus omitted from the Demand Percentage calculation.
212 (I) The level of services required to meet anticipated demand for the rescue
213 services and the corresponding annual fire rescue budget required to fund fire rescue services
214 provided to non-specific property uses would be required notwithstanding the occurrence of
215 any incidents from such non-specific property uses. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to
216 omit from the Demand Percentage calculation the Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting
217 fire rescue services provided to non-specific property uses.
218 RESIDENTIAL PARCEL APPORTIONMENT
219 (J) Neither the size nor the value of Residential Property determines the scope
220 of the required fire rescue response. The potential demand for fire rescue services is driven
221 by the existence of a Dwelling Unit and the anticipated average occupant population.
222 (K) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost for fire rescue services
223 attributable to Residential Property on a per Dwelling Unit basis is required to avoid cost
(00386181.1 306-9001821) 9
224 inefficiency and unnecessary administration and is a fair and reasonable method of Parcel
225 Apportionment based upon historical call data.
226 (L) The City Commission hereby finds that as a consequence of the transient use
227 and potential extraordinary vacancies within Mobile Home Park Property, which vacancies
228 result in the absence of structures on unoccupied spaces, as compared to other Residential
229 Property, and within Recreational Vehicle Park Property as compared to other Commercial
230 Property, as well as the lack of demand for fire rescue services for unoccupied spaces which
231 lack structures, it is fair and reasonable to provide for an extraordinary vacancy adjustment
232 procedure for Mobile Home Park Property and Recreational Vehicle Park Property, using
233 the procedures established in Resolution RI 1-089.
234 NON-RESIDENTIAL PARCEL APPORTIONMENT
235 (M) The separation of improved Non-Residential Property by actual square
236 footage is fair and reasonable for the purpose of Parcel Apportionment because the demand
237 for fire rescue service is determined and measured by the actual square footage of structures
238 and improvements within benefited parcels.
239 (N) The demand for the availability of fire rescue services diminishes at the outer
240 limit of Building size because a fire occurring in a structure greater than a certain size is not
241 capable of being suppressed under expected conditions and given the availability of fire
242 control combat personnel, equipment and apparatus within the City. In such circumstances,
243 the fire control activities of the City are directed to avoid the spread of the fire event to
244 adjacent Buildings. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to place a cap on the Building Area
245 classification of benefited parcels within Non-Residential Property based on the fire control
246 personnel, equipment, and apparatus available within the City.
100386181.1306-90018211 10
247 (0) Institutional Property whose use is exempt from the valorem taxation under
248 Florida law provides facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants, membership as well as
249 the public in general that otherwise might be requested or required to be provided by the
250 City and such property uses serve a legitimate public purpose and provide a public benefit.
251 Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments upon such parcels
252 of Institutional Property whose building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation
253 under Florida law. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance, no Fire Rescue
254 Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel of Institutional Property whose use is wholly
255 exempt from the ad valorem taxation under Florida law.
256 (P) Except as provided in subsection (Q) below, Government Property provides
257 facilities and uses to the community, local constituents and the public in general that serves
258 a legitimate public purpose and provides a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable
259 not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments upon such parcels of Government Property pursuant
260 to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance.
261 (Q) Government Property that is owned by federal government mortgage entities,
262 such as the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mae, VA and HUD, due to foreclosures are neither serving
263 a governmental purpose nor providing a public benefit but are instead being held by these
264 federal government mortgage entities in a proprietary capacity. Accordingly, these
265 properties shall not be exempted from the Fire Rescue Assessment.
266 (R) Nursing Home Property provides facilities for the care of elderly and disabled
267 residents of the City. Such facilities provide a benefit to the public by offering care and
268 assistance to vulnerable members of the community. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to
269 impose a Fire Rescue Assessment against Nursing Home Property based on the Fire Rescue
270 Assessment rate established for Institutional Property notwithstanding the Demand
100386181 1306-90018211 1 1
271 Percentage determined for Nursing Home Property to avoid increasing the cost of care for
272 the elderly and disabled.
273 SECTION 6. COST APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
274 (A) Utilizing data from the Fire Rescue Incident Reports related to the type of
275 calls and physical location of each call,the City assigned fire rescue incidents located within
276 the City to Property Use Categories.
277 (B) Based upon such assignment of Fire Rescue Incident Reports to Property Use
278 Categories, the number of Fire Rescue Incident Reports filed within a sampling period was
279 determined for each Property Use Category. A Demand Percentage was then determined for
280 each Property Use Category by calculating the percentage that Fire Rescue Incident Reports
281 allocated to each Property Use Category bear to the total number of Fire Rescue Incident
282 Reports documented for all Property Use Categories within the sampling period.
283 (C) Appendix C contains a designation of Code Descriptions by Property Use
284 Category with the Improvement Codes. Such correlation between Code Descriptions by
285 Property Use Category on the Fire Rescue Incident Reports and the Improvement Codes is
286 necessary to allocate the historical demand for fire rescue services, as reflected by the Fire
287 Rescue Incident Reports for Tax Parcels,to the Tax Roll within the Property Use Categories.
288 (D) The Demand Percentage for each Property Use Category was then applied to
289 the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and the resulting product as the cost allocation of that portion
290 of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs allocated to each individual Property Use Category.
291 SECTION 7. PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
292 (A) The apportionment among Tax Parcels of that portion of the Fire Rescue
293 Assessed Costs allocated to each Property Use Category under the Cost Apportionment shall
294 be consistent with the Parcel Apportionment methodology described and determined in
(00386181.1306-9001821) 12
295 Appendix F, which Parcel Apportionment methodology is hereby approved, adopted, and
296 incorporated into this Preliminary Rate Resolution by reference.
297 (B) It is hereby acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment methodology
298 described and determined in Appendix F is to be applied in the calculation of the estimated
299 Fire Rescue Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
300 SECTION 8. DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS;
301 ESTABLISHMENT OF PRELIMINARY FIRE RESCUE
302 ASSESSMENTS.
303
304 (A) The Fire Rescue Assessed Costs to be assessed and apportioned among
305 benefited parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment for the
306 Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2020, is the amount determined in the Estimated Fire
307 Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule,which is attached hereto as Appendix E and incorporated
308 herein by reference. The approval of the Estimated Fire Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule
309 by the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determines the amount of the Fire
310 Rescue Assessed Cost. The remainder of such Fiscal Year budget for fire rescue services,
311 facilities, and programs shall be funded from legally available City revenue other than Fire
312 Rescue Assessment proceeds.
313 (B) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments specified in the Estimated Fire
314 Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule are hereby established to fund the specified Fire Rescue
315 Assessed Costs determined to be assessed in the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,2020.
316
317
318
No portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Cost is attributable to impact fee revenue that funds
capital improvements necessitated by new growth or development. Further, no portion of
such Fire Rescue Assessed Costs is attributable to the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
319 (C) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments established in this Preliminary Rate
320 Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City Manager in the
(00386181.1 306-9001821) 13
321 preparation of the preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,
322 2020, as provided in Section 9 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
323 SECTION 9. ASSESSMENT ROLL.
324 (A) The City Manager is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be prepared, a
325 preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2020, in the
326 manner provided in the Ordinance. The Assessment Roll shall include all Tax Parcels within
327 the Property Use Categories. The City Manager shall apportion the estimated Fire Rescue
328 Assessed Cost to be recovered through Fire Rescue Assessments in the manner set forth in
329 this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
330 (B) A copy of this Preliminary Rate Resolution, documentation related to the
331 estimated amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through the imposition
332 of Fire Rescue Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll shall be maintained on
333 file in the office of the City Clerk and open to public inspection. The foregoing shall not be
334 construed to require that the preliminary Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount
335 of the Fire Rescue Assessment for each parcel of property can be determined by the use of
336 a computer terminal available to the public.
337 (C) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the method of
338 determining the Fire Rescue Assessments for fire rescue services as set forth in this
339 Preliminary Rate Resolution is a fair and reasonable method of apportioning the Fire Rescue
340 Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property located within the City.
341 SECTION 10. METHOD OF COLLECTION.
342 It is hereby declared that pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Ordinance that the Fire
343 Rescue Assessments shall be collected and enforced pursuant to the Uniform Assessment
344 Collection Act for Fiscal Year 2020-2021.

ESTIMATED FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT RATE SCHEDULE
SECTION El. DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS.
The estimated Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be assessed for the Fiscal Year commencing
October 1,2020, is $8,205,584.00.
SECTION E2. ESTIMATED FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments to be assessed and apportioned among
benefited parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and Parcel Apportionment to generate
the estimated Fire Rescue Assessed Cost for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2020,
are hereby established as follows for the purpose of this Preliminary Assessment Resolution:
Property Use Category Rate Per Dwelling Unit
Residential $120.00
Non-Residential Property Use Categories Rate Per Square Foot
Commercial $0.27
Industrial/Warehouse $0.06
Institutional $0.30
Nursing Home $0.30
(B) No Fire Rescue Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel of Government
Property(except as provided in Section 5(Q)of this Preliminary Assessment Resolution)or
upon the portion of a Building located on a parcel of Institutional Property whose Building
use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law.
(C) Any shortfall in the expected Fire Rescue Assessment proceeds due to any
reduction or exemption from payment of the Fire Rescue Assessments required by law or
authorized by the City Commission(including without limitation any approved Hardship
E-1
{00386181.1 306-9001821}
Waivers or Deferrals or Mobile Home Vacancy Adjustments) shall be supplemented by any
legally available funds, or combination of such funds, and shall not be paid for by proceeds
or funds derived from the Fire Rescue Assessments. It is the legislative determination of the
City Commission that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines any
exemption or reduction by the City Commission improper or otherwise adversely affects the
validity of the Fire Rescue Assessment imposed for this Fiscal Year,the sole and exclusive
remedy shall be the imposition of a Fire Rescue Assessment upon each affected Tax Parcel
in the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessment that would have been otherwise imposed save
and except for such reduction or exemption afforded to such Tax Parcel by the City
Commission.
E-2
(00386181 1 306-9001821)
APPENDIX F
PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY
The Cost Apportionment to each Property Use Category and to Mixed Use Property
shall be apportioned among the Tax Parcels within each Property Use Category and to Mixed
Use Property Tax Parcels as follows:
SECTION F-1 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue Assessment
for each Tax Parcel of Residential Property shall be computed by multiplying the Demand
Percentage attributable to the Residential Property Use Category by the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs, dividing such product by the total number of Dwelling Units shown on the
Tax Roll within the City for the Residential Property Use Category, and then multiplying
such quotient by the number of Dwelling Units located on such Tax Parcel.
SECTION F-2. NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Building of Non-Residential Property (except Nursing Home
Property) shall be computed as follows:
(A) Respectively, multiply the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost by the Demand
Percentage attributable to each of the Non-Residential Property Use Categories. The
resulting dollar amounts reflect the portions of the City's fire rescue budget to be
respectively funded from Fire Rescue Assessment revenue derived from each of the Non-
Residential Property Use Categories.
(B) Separate each building in each of the Non-Residential Property Use
Categories into the appropriate Non-Residential Property Use Category for that Building.
(C) For each Non-Residential Property Use Category, add the Building square
F-1
{00386181.1 306-9001821)
footage of all the Buildings in each Non-Residential Property Use Category. All Buildings
with a number of square feet exceeding 77,001 will be included in the calculation at 77,001
square feet. This sum reflects an aggregate square footage area for each Non-Residential
Property Use Category to be used by the City in the computation of Fire Rescue
Assessments.
(D) Divide the product of subsection (A) of this Section relative to each of the
Non-Residential Property Use Categories by the sum of the square foot allocations for each
Non-Residential Property Use Category described in subsection (C) of this Section. The
resulting quotient expresses a dollar amount per square foot of improved area ("the square
foot rate")to be used in computing Fire Rescue Assessments on each of the respective Non-
Residential Property Use Categories.
(E) For each of the Non-Residential Property Use Categories,other than Nursing
Home Property, multiply the applicable square foot rate calculated under subsection (D) of
this Section by the number of square feet,up to 77,001 square feet, for each Building in the
Non-Residential Property Use Categories. The resulting product for each Building expresses
the amount of Fire Rescue Assessments to be imposed on each Building of Non-Residential
Property.
SECTION F-3. NURSING HOME PROPERTY. Notwithstanding the
procedure in Section F-2 for Non-Residential Property,the Fire Rescue Assessment for each
Building of Nursing Home Property shall be computed as follows:
(A) For Nursing Home Property, multiply the square foot rate determined in
subsection F-2 of this Section for Institutional Property by the number of square feet,up to
F-2
{00386181.1 306-9001821}
77,001 square feet,for each Building of Nursing Home Property. Such amount shall be the
amount of the Fire Rescue Assessments imposed upon each Building of Nursing Home
Property.
(B) Multiply the amount directed to be imposed as Fire Rescue Assessments on
Nursing Home Property in subsection (A) of this Section by the total square footage of
Buildings related to Nursing Home Property as provided in subsection F-2(C). The resulting
product represents the aggregate revenue to be derived from Fire Rescue Assessments
imposed upon Nursing Home Property.
(C) The remaining portion of the City's fire rescue budget otherwise attributable
to Nursing Home Property, and not funded through Fire Rescue Assessments imposed upon
Nursing Home Property, shall be funded from legally available City revenue other than Fire
Rescue Assessment proceeds.
SECTION F-4. MIXED USE PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Tax Parcel classified in two or more Property Use Categories shall be
the sum of the Fire Rescue Assessments computed for each Property Use Category.
