SECTION 3. PROVISION AND FUNDING OF FIRE RESCUE SERVICES.
(A) Upon the imposition of Fire Rescue Assessments for fire rescue services,
facilities, or programs against Assessed Property located within the City, the City shall
provide fire rescue services to such Assessed Property. A portion of the cost to provide
such fire rescue services, facilities, or programs shall be funded from proceeds of the
Fire Rescue Assessments. The remaining cost required to provide fire rescue services,
facilities, and programs shall be funded by available City revenues other than Fire
Rescue Assessment proceeds.
(B) lt is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that each parcel of
Assessed Property located within the City will be benefited by the City's provision of fire
rescue services, facilities, and programs in an amount not less than the Fire Rescue
Assessment imposed against such parcel, computed in the manner set forth in this lnitial
Assessment 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 lnitial Assessment Resolution.
SECTION 5. LEGISLATIVE DETERMINATIONS OF SPECIAL BENEFIT AND
FAIR APPORTIONMENT. lt 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.
general
(A) Upon the adoption of this lnitial Assessment Resolution determining the
Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in the
Assessment Roll, the legislative determinations of special benefit ascertained and
declared in Section 1.04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(B) lt ls fair and reasonable to use the lmprovement Code and the DOR Codes
for 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 propefi 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 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 lmprovement Codes is more useful and accurate
to determine Building Area than the data maintained in the DOR Code because (1) the
data maintained in the lmprovement Codes reveals the existence of a Building with a
different use than the use described on the DOR Code, and (2) the lmprovement Codes
6
represent records maintained by the Property Appraiser with the most information
relative to Building Area regardless of property use.
cost apportionment
(D) Apportioning Fire Rescue Assessed Costs among classifications of
improved propefi based upon historical demand for fire rescue services is fair and
reasonable and proportional to the special benefit received.
(E) lncident Reports are the most reliable data available to determine the
potential demand for fire rescue services from property use and to determine the beneflt
to property use resulting from the availability of fire rescue services to protect and serve
Buildings located within Assessed Property and their intended occupants. Existing data
from individual reports filed by the City with the Florida State Fire Marshal under NFIRS
is currently insufficient to determine the potential demand for fire rescue services and
to calculate the Demand Percentages for each Property Use Category. Accordingly, it
is fair and reasonable to utilize lncident Reports from the adjacent City of Hollywood on
an interim basis as property composition within the City of Hollywood is similar to
property composition within the City and the type and response protocol of fire rescue
services provided by the City of Hollywood is similar to the type and response protocol
of fire rescue service provided by the City. The use of Demand Percentages determined
by an examination of lncident Reports from the City of Hollywood on an interim basis is
a fair and reasonable method to apportion the Flre Rescue Assessed Costs among the
Property Use Categories. The City has begun to file individual reports with the Florida
7
State Fire Marshal under NFIRS which will be sufficient to determine the potential
demand for fire rescue services specific to the City in future years.
(F) 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 propefi uses was
statistically insignificant.
(G) 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 rather 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 lncident Reports documenting historical fire
services provided to vacant property were thus omitted from the Demand Percentage
calculation.
(H) lt is fair and reasonable to omit from the Demand Percentage calculation
the lncident Reports documenting fire rescue services provided to property uses that do
not contain a Building. The number of lncident Reports documenting fire services
provided to such non-specific property uses or to vacant property are not of sufficient
numbers to affect the existence of a statistically significant number of lncident Reports
documenting fire rescue services provided to Assessed Property with the Property Use
Categories for which the Demand Percentages were determined.
B
residential parcel apportionment
(l) The size or the value of the Residential Property does not determine 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.
(J) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs 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
(K) The risk of loss and the demand for fire rescue service availability is
substantially the same for Buildings below a certain minimum size. Because the value
and anticipated occupancy of non-residential Buildings below a certain minimum size is
less, it is fair, reasonable and equitable to provide a lesser assessment burden on
improved property containing such Buildings by the creation of specific Building Area
classification ranges for such parcels.
(L) The separation of improved Non-Residential Property into Building Area
classification ranges is fair and reasonable for the purposes of Parcel Apportionment
because: (1) the absence of a need for precise square footage data within the ad
valorem tax records maintained by the Property Appraiser undermines the use of actual
Building Area within each improved parcel as a basis for Parcel Apportionment; (2) the
o
administrative expense and complexity created by an on-site inspection to determine the
actual Building Area within each improved parcel assessed is impractical; (3) the
demand for fire rescue service availability is not precisely determined or measured by
the actual Building Area within benefited parcels; and (4) the classification of parcels
within Building Area classification ranges is a fair and reasonable method to classify
benefited parcels and to apportion costs among benefited parcels that create similar
demand for the availability of fire rescue services.
(M) The demand for the availability of fire rescue services diminishes at the
outer limit of Building size since a fire occurring in a structure greater than a certain size
is not capable of being suppressed under expected conditions and the fire control
activities under such circumstances 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 benefited parcels within Non-Residential Property.
(N) lt is fair and reasonable to impose a Fire Rescue Assessment against
Nursing Home Property within the Building Area classifications established for
lnstitutional Property notwithstanding the Demand Percentage determined for Nursing
Home Property.
SECTION 6. COST APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) To correlate the Propefi Use Categories with the State Database, the
Code Descriptions within the Fixed Property Use Codes similar to Code Descriptions
within the lmprovement Codes that were used to determine the Property Use Categories
10
were identified. Appendix A contains a designation of Code Descriptions by Property
Use Category with the lmprovement Codes and Appendix B contains a designation of
Code Descriptions by Property Use Category with the Fixed Property Use Codes. Such
correlation between Code Descriptions by Property Use Category between the Fixed
Property Use Codes and the lmprovement Codes is necessary to allocate the historical
demand for fire rescue services as reflected by the lncident Reports for Tax Parcels on
the Tax Roll within the Property Use Categories.
(B) Based upon such correlation by Property Use Category between the Code
Descriptions in the Fixed Property Use Codes and the Code Descriptions in the
lmprovement Codes, the number of lncident Reports filed within an annual sampling
period were determined for each Property Use Category. A Demand Percentage was
then determined for each Property Use Category by calculating the percentage that
lncident Reports allocated to each Property Use Category, bear to the total number of
lncident Reports documented for all Property Use Categories within the sampling period.
(C) The Demand Percentage for each Property Use Category was then applied
to the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and the resultlng product is 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 apportioned to each Property Use Category under the Cost
11
Apportionment shall be consistent with the Parcel Apportionment methodology described
and determined in Appendix D, which Parcel Apportionment methodology is hereby
approved, adopted, and incorporated into this lnitial Assessment Resolution by
reference.
(B) lt is hereby acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment methodology
described and determined in Appendix D is to be applied in the calculation of the
estimated Fire Rescue Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this lnitial
Assessment Resolution.
SECTION 8. DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS;
ESTABLISHMENT OF INITIAL FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENTS.
(A) The Fire Rescue Assessed Costs to be assessed and apportioned among
benefited parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment for
the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 1996, is the amount determined in the Estimated
Fire Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule. The approval of the Estimated Fire Rescue
Assessment Rate Schedule by the adoption of this lnitial Assessment Resolution
determines the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs. The remainder of such
Fiscal Year budget for fire rescue services, facilities, and programs shall be funded from
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
12
October 1, 1996. No portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Costs are attributable to
capital improvements necessitated by new growth or development.
(C) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments established in this lnitial
Assessment Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City
Manager in the preparation of the preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year
commencing October 1 , 1996, as provided in Section 9 of this lnitial Assessment
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, 1996, 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 lnitial Assessment Resolution. A copy of this lnitial Assessment
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.
13
(B) lt is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the method of
determining the Frre Rescue Assessments for fire rescue services as set forth in this
lnitial Assessment 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. AUTHORIZATION OF PUBLIC HEARING. There is hereby
established a public hearing to be held at 7:30 p.m. on August'13,'1996, in City
Commission Chambers of City Hall, 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, Dania, Florida,
at which time the City Commission will receive and consider any comments on the Fire
Rescue Assessments from the public and affected property owners and consider
imposing Fire Rescue Assessments and collecting such assessments on the same bill
as ad valorem taxes.
SECTION 11. NOTIGE BY PUBLICATION. The City Manager shall publish
a notice of the public hearing authorized by Section 10 hereof in the manner and time
provided in Section 2.04 of the Ordinance. The notice shall be published no later than
July 23, 1996, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix E.
SECTION 12. NOTICE BY MAIL. The City Manager shall also provide
notice by first class mail to the Owner of each parcel of Assessed Property, as required
by Section 2.05 of the Ordinance, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix
F. Such notices shall be mailed no later than July 23, 1996.
SECTION 13. APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS. Proceeds
derived by the City from the Fire Rescue Assessments will be utilized for the provision
14
of fire rescue services, facilities, and programs. ln the event there is any fund balance
remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, such balance shall be carried forward and used
only to fund fire rescue services, facilities, and programs.
SECTION 14. EFFECTIVE DATE. This lnitial Assessment Resolution shall
take effect immediately upon its passage and adoption.

PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY
APPENDIX D
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 D-1. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue Assessment
for each Tax Parcel of Residential Property shall be computed by multiplying the
Demand Percentage attributable to Residential Property by the Fire Rescue Assessed
Costs, dividing such product by the total number of Dwelling Units shown on the Tax Roll
within the City, and then multiplying such quotient by the number of Dwelling Units
located on such Tax Parcel.
SECTION D-2. NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Tax Parcel of Non-Residential Property (except Nursing Home
Property) shall be computed as follows:
(A) Respectively, multiply the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs by the Demand
Percentage attributable to each of the non-residential Property Use Categories. With the
exception of Nursing Home Property, 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 Tax Parcel in each of the non-residential Property Use
Categories into one of the following square footage categories:
(1) Tax Parcels with a Building Area of less than 1,999 square feet;
D-1
(2) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 2,000 square feet and 3,499
square feet;
(3) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 3,500 square feet and 4,999
square feet;
(4) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 5,000 square feet and 9,999
square feet;
(5) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 10,000 square feet and 19,999
square feet;
(6) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 20,000 square feet and 29,999
square feet;
(7) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 30,000 square feet and 39,999
square feet;
(8) Tax Parcels with a Building Area between 40,000 square feet and 49,999
square feet; and
(9) Tax Parcels with a Building Area of 50,000 square feet or greater.
(C) As to each non-residential Property Use Category (except Nursing Home
Property), multiply the number of Tax Parcels categorized in:
(1 ) Subsection (BXl ) of this Section by 1 ,000 square feet,
(2) Subsection (B)(2) of this Section by 2,000 square feet;
(3) Subsection (B)(3) of this Section by 3,500 square feet;
(4) Subsection (BX4) of this Section by 5,000 square feet;
(5) Subsection (B)(5) of this Section by 10,000 square feet;
D-2
(6) Subsection (BXO) of this Section by 20,000 square feet;
(7) Subsection (B)(7) of this Section by 30,000 square feet;
(8) Subsection (B)(8) of this Section by 40,000 square feet; and
(9) Subsection (B)(9) of this Section by 50,000 square feet.
(D) For each non-residential Propefi Use Category (except Nursing Home
Property), sum the products of subsections (C)(1) through (CXg) of this Section. With
the exception of Nursing Home Property, the sum of these products 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.
(E) With the exception of Nursing Home Property, divide the product of
subsection (A) of this Section relative to each of the non-residential Property Use
Categories by the sum of the products for each non-residential Property Use Category
described in subsection (D) of this Section. The resulting quotient expresses a dollar
amount adjusted or weighted per square foot of improved area to be used in computing
Fire Rescue Assessments on each of the respective non-residential Property Use
Categories (except Nursing Home Property).
(F) For each of the non-residential Property Use Categories (except Nursing
Home Property), multiply the resulting quotients from subsection (A) of this Section by
each of the respective products in subsections (C)(1) through (CXg) of this Section. The
resulting products for each non-residential Property Use Category (except Nursing Home
Property) expresses a series of gross dollar amounts expected to be funded by all Tax
D-3
Parcels in the respective non-residential Property Use Categories in each of the square
footage categories described in subsection (B) of this Section.
(G) For each of the non-residential Property Use Categories (except Nursing
Home Property), divide each of the respective products of subsection (F) of this Section
by the number of Tax Parcels determined to be in each of the square footage categories
identified in subsection (B) of this Section. Except for Nursing Home Property, the result
expresses the respective dollar amounts of the Fire Rescue Assessments to be imposed
upon each Tax Parcel in each of the non-residential Property Use Categories.
SECTION D-3. NURSING HOME PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Tax Parcel of Nursing Home Property shall be computed as
follows:
(A) For Nursing Home Property, assign the respective dollar amounts of the
Fire Rescue Assessments determined in Section D-2 of this Appendix for lnstitutional
Property to the comparable square footage category ranges of Nursing Home Property.
Such amount shall be the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessments imposed upon each
Tax Parcel 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 number of Tax
Parcels determined to be in each of the square footage category ranges related to
Nursing Home Property in subsection (B)(1) through (B)(9) of Section D-2. The sum of
the resulting products represents the aggregate revenue to be derived from Fire Rescue
Assessments imposed upon Nursing Home Property.
D-4
(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 available City revenue other than
Fire Rescue Assessment proceeds.
SECTION D-4, MIXED USE PROPERry, 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.
