(B) It IS hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that each parcel of
Assessed Property located within the City will be benefitted by the City's provision of fire
rescue services, facilities, and programs 10' an amount not less than the Fire Rescue
6
Assessment imposed against such parcel, computed In the manner set forth in this
Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 4. IMPOSITION AND COMPUTATION OF FIRE RESCUE
ASSESSMENTS. Fire Rescue AsseSsments shall be imposed against all Tax Parcels
within the Property Use Categories. Fire Rescue Assessments shall be computed in the
manner set forth in this Preliminary Rate Resohltion.
SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
FAIR APPORTIONMENT. It is hereby ascertained and declared that the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs provide a special benefit to the Assessed Property based upon the following
legislative determinations and based upon that celtain report entitled "City of Boynton
Beach Fire Assessment Memorandum," May 200S, prepared by Government Services
Group, Inc., which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
general
(A) Upon the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determining the Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in the
Assessment Roll, the legisll:1,tive determinations of special beneflL~scertain.ed~d d~l!l!~d
in Section t .04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified 'and confirmed.
(B) It is fair and reasonable to use the Improvement Codes and the DOR Codes
of the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment because: (1) the Tax Roll
database employing the use of such property use codes is the most comprehensive, accurate,
and reliable information readily available to determine the property use and Building Area
for improved property within the City, and (2) the Tax Roll database within such property
use codes is maintained by the Property, Appraiser and is thus consistent with parcel'
7
designations on the Tax Roll which compatibility permits the development of an
Assessment Roll in conformity with the requirements of the Uniform Method of Collection.
(C) The data available in the Improvement Codes is more useful and accurate to
determine Building Area than relying exclusively upon the data maintained in the DOR
Code alone because (1) the data maintained in the Improvement Codes reveals the existence
of a Building with a different use than the use described on the DOR Code, (2) the
Improvement Codes represent records maintained by the Property Appraiser with the most
information relative to Building Area regardless of property use and (3) the City conducted
field work to ascertain Building use when sufficient information was not available.
cost apportionment
(D) It is fair and reasonable and consistent with the decision from the Florida
Supreme Court in the case of City of North Lauderdale v. SMM Properties. Inc.. 825 So. 2d
343 (Fla. 2002), to exclude from the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost amounts determined to
constitute the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
(E) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost among classifications of
improyeo PJ:'()P.~rtYl:>~s~g l!pOl1 .l:1istoric~1 demand for :tire rescue service. s, but not
,_..... '._mm.'....' _
Emergency Medical Services, is fair andreas9nable and proportional to the special benefit
received.
(F) The Fire Rescue Incident Reports are the'most reliable data available to
determine the potential demand for fire rescue services from property use and to determine
the benefit to property use resulting from the availability of fire rescue services to protect
and serve Buildings located within the Assessed. Property and their intended occupants.
There exist sufficient Fire Rescue Incident Reports that docUment the historical demand for
8
fire rescue services from Assessed Property Within the Property Use Categories. The
Demand Percentage that has been determined for each Property Use Category by an
examination of such Fire Rescue Incident Reports is consistent with the experience of the
City. Therefore, the use of Demand Percentages that were determined by an examination of
Fire Rescue Incident Reports is a fair and reasonable method to apportion the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs among the Property Use Categories.
(G) The historical demand for fire rescue service availability for multi-family
and single-family Residential Property is substantially similar and any difference in the
percentage of documented fire rescue calls to such specific property uses is statistically
insignificant.
(H) As a result of the urbanized character of the City, the suppression of fire on
vacant property primarily benefits the Buildings within the adjacent improved property by
the containment of the spread of fire father than the preservation of the vacant property.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to apportion any of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs
to vacant property and the Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting historical fire services
... _..__uupn>.Yid~gJQ_Y~~J!.Jltp-rQP~rty.w~r~Jh\!~Ql11i.tted .frQJ:!lth~ P~ml:lI1.9J?~!9.e!!tflg~~l!!9UI~.c>I!.~ .___..____
(I) The level of services required to meet anticipated demand for the rescue
services and the corresponding annual fire rescue budget required to fund fire rescue
services provided to non-specific property uses would be required notwithstanding the
occurrence of any incidents from such non-specific property uses. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to omit from the Demand Percentage calculation the Fire Rescue Incident
Reports documenting fire rescue services provided to non-specific property uses.
9
residential parcel apportionment
(1) Neither the size nor the value of Residential Property determines the scope
of the required fire rescue response. The potential demand for fire rescue services is driven
by the existence of a Dwelling Unit and the anticipated average occupant population.
(K) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost for fire rescue services
attributable to Residential Property on a per Dwelling Unit basis is required to avoid cost
inefficiency and unnecessary administration and is a fair and reasonable method of Parcel
Apportionment based upon historical call data.
Non-Residential parcel apportionment
(L) The separation of 'improved Non-Residential Property by actual square
footage is fair and reasonable for the purpose of Parcel Apportioninent because the demand
for fire rescue service is determined and measured by the actual square footage of structures
and improvements within benefited parcels.
(M) The demand for the availability of fire rescue services diminishes at the
outer limit of Building size because a fire occurring in a structure greater than a certain size
is__rIQt~.!:tp~];>J~ ()f 1:>J:il1g suPPr~~st?c1llnd~~~)(p~9t~~L~Qn4i!i.o!1:s.~4g~Y~l"l th~ a\,~ilabili~ of
, ..
fire control combat personnel, equipment. imd apparatus within the City. In. such
circumstances, the fire control activities of the City are directed to avoid the spread of the
fire event to adjacent Buildings. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to place a cap on the
Building Area classification of benefitted parcels within Non-Residential Property based on
the fire control personnel, equipment, and apparatus available within the City.
(N) Institutional Property whose use is exempt from the valorem taxation under
Florida law provided facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants, membership as well as
10
the public in general that otherwise might be requested or required to be provided by the
City' and such property uses serve a legitimate public purpose and provide a public benefit.
Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments upon such
parcels of Institutional Property whose use is exempt from ad valorem taxation under
Florida law. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance, no Fire Rescue
Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel of Institutional Property whose use is wholly
exempt from the ad valorem taxation under Florida law.
(0) Government Property provides facilities and uses to the community, local
constituents and the public in general that serves a legitimate public purpose and provides a
public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue Assessments
upon such parcels of Government Property pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Ordinance.
(P) Nursing Home Property provides facilities for the care of elderly and
disabled residents of the City. Such facilities provide a benefit to the public by offering
care and assistance to vulnerable members of the community. Therefore, it is fair and
reasonable to impose a Fire Rescue Assessment against Nursing Home Property based on
._.the Fire Rescu~ As~essment r~te established for In~titutional Property notwithstanding the
Demand Percentage determined for Nursing Home Property to avoid increasing the cost of
care for the elderly and disabled.
SECTION 6. COST APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) Utilizing data from the Fire Rescue Incident Reports related to the type of
calls and physical location of each call, the City assigned fire rescue incidents located
within the City, to Property Use Categories.
11
(B) Based upon such assignment of Fire Rescue Incident Reports to Property
Use Categories, the number of Fire Rescue Incident Reports filed within a sampling period
was determined for each Property Use Category. A Demand Percentage was then
determined for each Property Use Category by calculating the percentage that Fire Rescue
Incident Reports allocated to each Property Use Category bear to the total number of Fire
Rescue Incident Reports docume~ted for all Property Use Categories within the sampling
period.
(C) Appendix C contains a designation of Code Descriptions by Property Use
Category with the Improvement Codes. Such a correlation between Code Descriptions by
Property Use Category on the Fire Rescue Incident Reports and the Improvement Codes is
necessary to allocate the historical demand for fire rescue services, as reflected by the Fire
Rescue Incident Reports, to Tax Parcels on the Tax Roll within the Property Use
Categories.
(D) The Demand Percentage for each Property Use Category was then applied
to the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and the resulting product as the cost allocation of that
portion of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs allocated to each individual Property Use
Category .
SECTION 7. PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) The apportionment among ,Tax Parcels of that portion of the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs allocated to each Pro'perly Use Category under the Cost Apportionment
shall be consistent with the Parcel Apportionmerit methodology described and determined
in Appendix F, which Parcel Apportionment methodology is hereby approved, adopted, and
incorporated into this Preliminary Rate Resolution by reference.
12
(B) It is hereby acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment methodology
described and determined in Appendix F is to be applied in the calculation of the estimated
Fire Rescue Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 8. DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS;
ESTABLISHMENT OF PRELIMINARY FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The Fire Rescue Assessed Costs to be aS,sessed and apportioned among
benefitted parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment for the
Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2009, is the amount determined in the Estimated Fire
Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule, which is attached hereto as Appendix E and
incorporated herein by reference. The approval of the Estjmated Fire Rescue Assessment
Rate Schedule by the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determines the amount
of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost. The remainder of such fiscal Year budget for fire rescue
services, facilities, and programs shall be funded from legally available City revenue other
than Fire Rescue Assessment proceeds.
(B) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments specified in the Estimated Fire
Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule. are hereby established to fund the specified Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs determined to be assessed in the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,2009.
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 are attributable to the Emergency Medical
Services Cost.
(C) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments established in this Preliminary Rate
Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City Manager in the
13
preparation of the preliminary Assessment roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,
2009, as provided in Section 9 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 9. ASSESSMENT ROLL.
(A) The City Manager is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be prepared, a
preliminary Assessment 'Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2009, in the
manner provided in the Ordinance. The Assessment Roll shall include all Tax Parcels
within the Property Use Categories. The City Manager shall apportion the estimated Fire
Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through Fire Rescue Assessments in the manner set
forth in this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
(B) A copy of this Preliminary Rate Resolution, documentation related to the
estimated amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through the imposition
of Fire Rescue Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll shall' be maintained on
file in the office of the City Clerk and open to public inspection. The foregoing shall not be
construed to require that the preliminary Assessment Roll be in printed form if the amount
of the Fire Rescue Assessment for each parcel of property can be determined by the use of a
computer terminal available to the public.
(C) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the method of
determining the Fire Rescue Assessmems for fire rescue services as set forth in this
Preliminary Rate Resolution is a fair' and reasonable method of apportioning the Fire
Rescue Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property located within the City.
SECTION 10. METHOD OF COLLECTION. It is hereby declared that pursuant to
Section 3.01 of the Ordinance that the Fire Rescue Assessments shall be collected and
enforced pursuant to the Uniform Assessment Collection Act for Fiscal Year 2009-2010

SECTION E2.
ESTIMATED FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments to be assessed and apportioned among
benefitted parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and Parcel Apportionment to
generate the estimated Fire Rescue Assessed Cost for the Fiscal Year commencing
October I, 2009,' are hereby established as follows for the purpose of this Initial
Assessment Resolution:

Non-Residential Property Use Categories
Commercial
Industrial/Warehouse

Rate Per Dwelling Unit
$68.00
Rate Per Square Foot
$'0,16
$ 0.04

$ 0.17
(B) No Fire Rescue Assessment shall be imposed upon a parcel ,of Government
Property 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 shall be supplemented by any legally available funds,
pr combination of such funds, and shall not be paid for by proceeds or funds derived from
E - 1
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
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-l
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.
F - 1
(C) For each Non-Residential Property Use Category, add the Building square
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 d~scribed 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 pro~uct 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
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 classifie~ in two or more Property Use Categories shall
be the sum of the Fire Rescue Assessments computed for each Property Use Category.
F-3
