ervices using the tax bill collection method, may be reimposed and levied on your property for the fiscal year October
, 2000 - September 30, 2001.
The use of an annual special assessment to fund fire rescue services, solid waste services and stormwater services
benefiting improved property located within the City of Dania Beach in the past has proven to be fair, efficient and
effective.
Annual special assessments for fire rescue services and stormwater services are being imposed on improved
properties city-wide. An annual special assessment for solid waste services is only being imposed in the Griffin Road
or Ravenswood Annexed Areas as the fees for such services are no longer collected as a separate bill sent by the
City.
The total annual fire rescue assessment revenue to be collected within the City ofDania Beach is estimated to be
$1,318,588. The annual fire rescue assessment is based on the classification of each parcel of property and number
of billing units contained therein.
The total annual stormwater assessment revenue to be collected within the City of Dania Beach is estimated to be
$294,000. The annual stormwater assessment is based upon the estimated amount of stormwater runoff generated
by impervious surface on the property.
The total annual solid waste assessment revenue to be collected within the City of Dania Beach is estimated to be
$353,000. The annual solid waste assessment is based on the number of residential dwelling units contained on each
parcel of property.
A public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on August 22, 2000, in City Commission Chambers of City Hall, 100 West
Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed

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, persons needing a special accommodation or
an interpreter to participate in this proceeding should contact the CityClerk's office at (954) 924-3630, at least two
days prior to the date of the hearing.
Unless proper steps are initiated in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure relief within 20 days from the date of
City Commission action at the above hearing (including the method of apportionment,the rate of assessment and the
imposition of assessments), such action shall be the final adjudication of the issues presented.
Copies of the legal documentation for the three non-ad valorem assessment programs are available for inspection at
the City Clerk's office in the Municipal Building, located at 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach, Florida.
The special assessment amounts shown on this notice and the ad valorem taxes for the above parcel will be collected
on the ad valorem tax bill mailed in November. Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued
against the property which may result in a loss of title.
If there is a mistake on this notice, it will be corrected. If you have any questions, please contact the City's Special
Assessment Department at (954) 924-3662, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

STORMWATER SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach will conduct a public hearing to consider
reimposing stormwater assessments for the provision of stormwater management services within the City of Dania `(
Beach for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1,2000. r.
The stormwater assessments are based upon the estimated amount of stormwater runoff generated by impervious
surface on each parcel of property.Impervious surfaces include the roof top,patios,driveways,parking lots and similar
areas.The City has determined that the median single family residence in the City includes 1,836 square feet of
impervious surface,which is defined as one"equivalent stormwater unit'or"ESU".The annual stormwater assessment 4ti
rate for the upcoming fiscal year will be$20.00 for each ESU.
Generally,the number of ESUs will be calculated individually for each parcel of property by dividing the impervious •
surface area by 1,836.However,since verifying the impervious surface for each single-family residence in the City is a
practical impossibility,single-family residences with impervious surface area between 918 square feet and 3,672 square
feet,inclusive,have been assigned one ESU.Smaller single-family residences have been assigned one-half ESU and
larger single-family residences have been calculated individually.
Copies of the Stormwater Utility Ordinance(Ordinance No.13-96),the Initial Stormwater Assessment Resolution
(Resolution No.73-96),the Final Stormwater Assessment Resolution(Resolution No.73-96,as amended by Resolution
No. 103.96 and Resolution 116-96), the Preliminary Rate Resolution initiating the annual process of updating the
Assessment Roll and reimposing the Stormwater Assessments,and the updated Stormwater Assessment Roll for the
upcoming fiscal year are available for inspection at the City Clerk's office. r.
If you have any questions,please contact the City's Special Assessment Department at(954)924-3662 between ;.
9:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m.
SOLID WASTE SERVICE ASSESSMENTS
Notice is hereby given that the City Commission of the City of Dania Beach will conduct a public hearing to consider
reimposing solid waste service assessments for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1,2000,against certain improved
residential properties located within those incorporated areas of the City of Dania Beach annexed pursuant to Chapter
90-483, Laws of Florida(sometimes referred to as the "Griffin Road Annexation Area" or the "Ravenswood Road
Annexation Area")or any other incorporated area served by water and sewer service providers other than the City,to
® fund the cost of solid waste collection and disposal services and programs provided to such properties and to authorize
collection of such assessments on the tax bill.
The solid waste service assessments will be computed by multiplying the number of dwelling units on each parcel
by the rate of assessment.The rate of assessment for the upcoming fiscal year shall be$233.04.Unimproved properties,
mobile home parks,apartments with four or more dwelling units,condominiums,or commercial properties are not subject
+ to the solid waste service assessment.
Copies of the Solid Waste Service Assessment Ordinance(Ordinance No.9-96),the Initial Assessment Resolution
(Resolution No.64-96), the Final Assessment Resolution (Resolution No.71-96), the Preliminary Rate Resolution
initiating the annual process of,updating the Assessment Roll and reimposing the Solid Waste Service Assessments,and
the updated Assessment Roll for the upcoming fiscal year are available for inspection at the City Clerk's office.
If you have any questions,please contact the City's Special Assessment Department at(954)924-3662,Monday
through Friday between 9:00 a.m.and 4:00 p.m.
The above special assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2000,as
authorized by section 197.3632,Florida Statutes.Failure to pay the assessments will cause a tax certificate to be issued
against the property which may result in a loss of title.These special assessment programs proved to be successful last
year in fairly and efficiently providing a much needed alternative funding and collection approach for these vital and
essential services.
A public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m.on August 22.2000,in the City Commission Chambers of City Hall,100
West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania Beach_Florida,for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed
