PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA;
DESCRIBING THE METHOD OF ASSESSING SOLID
WASTE COSTS AGAINST PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN
THE CITY OF MIAMI; DIRECTING THE PREPARATION
OF AN ASSESSMENT ROLL; AUTHORIZING A PUBLIC
HEARING FOR SEPTEMBER 12, 2002; AND DIRECTING
THE PROVISION OF NOTICE THEREOF; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA:
Section 1. Authority. This Resolution is adopted
pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance No. 11807, adopted
June 22, 1999, which amended Chapter 22-12 of the Code of the
City of Miami, Florida (the "Code"), Sections 166.021
and 166.041, Florida Statutes, and other applicable provisions of
law.
Section 2. Purpose and definitions. This Resolution
constitutes the Initial Assessment Resolution. All capitalized
words and terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in Chapter 22 of the Code. Unless the context
ATTACHMENT ()
CONTAINED
JUL a 9 M2s
02- 826
indicates otherwise, words imparting the singular number, include
the plural number, and vice versa. As used in this Resolution,
the following terms shall have the following meanings, unless the
context hereof otherwise requires:
"Commercial Property" means those properties with
a Code Description designated as "Commercial" in the
County Land Use Codes ("CLUC Codes") as specified in
attached `Appendix B'.
"Cost Apportionment" means the apportionment of
the Solid Waste Assessed Cost among all Property Use
Categories according to the Demand Percentages
established pursuant to the apportionment methodology
described in Section 6 of this Initial Assessment
Resolution.
"Dwelling Unit" means (1) a Building, or a portion
thereof, available to be used for residential purposes,
consisting of one or more rooms arranged, designed,
used, or intended to be used as living quarters for one
family only, or (2) the use of land in which lots or
spaces are offered for rent or lease for the placement
of mobile homes, travel trailers, or the like for
residential purposes.
"Estimated Solid Waste Assessment Rate Schedule"

is incorporated herein by reference, specifying the
Solid Waste Assessed Costs determined in Section 8 of

Solid Waste Assessments established in Section 8 of
this Initial Assessment Resolution.

Parcels with a Code Description designated as
"Industrial /Warehouse,, in the CLUC Codes as specified
in attached `Appendix B'.
Section 3. Provision and funding of Solid Waste
services.
Page 2 of 11 02— 826
(A) Upon the imposition of Solid Waste Assessments for
Solid Waste services, facilities, or programs against Assessed
Property located within the City, the City shall provide Solid
Waste services to such Assessed Property. A portion of the cost
to provide such Solid Waste services, facilities, or programs
shall be funded from proceeds of the Solid Waste Assessments.
The remaining cost required to provide Solid Waste services,
facilities, and available City revenues shall fund programs other
than Solid Waste Assessment proceeds.
(B) It is ascertained, determined, and declared that each
parcel of Assessed Property located within the City will be
benefited by the City's provision of Solid Waste services,
facilities, and programs in an amount not less than the Solid
Waste Assessment imposed against such parcel in the manner set
forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution.
Section 4. Imposition and computation of Solid Waste
Assessments. Solid Waste Assessments shall be imposed against
all Residential Parcels. The Director of the Department of Solid
Waste in the manner set forth in this Initial Assessment
Resolution shall compute Solid Waste Assessments. The amount of
the assessment imposed upon improved residential property within
the City is equal to the cost of the processing and disposal of
solid waste generated from such residential property for the
period of October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003. The assessment
is imposed equally upon all improved residential property located
Page 3 of 11 02— 826
within the City. No profit is included within the solid waste
disposal assessment. The amount of the assessment is apportioned
to the properties subject to the assessment in an amount equal to
or less than the benefit received by such properties.
Section 5. Legislative determination of special benefit
and fair apportionment. It is ascertained and declared that the
Solid Waste Assessed Costs provide a special benefit to the
Assessed Property based upon the following legislative
determinations.
(A) Upon the adoption of this Initial Assessment Resolution
determining the Solid Waste Assessed Costs and identifying the
Assessed Property to be included in the Assessment Roll, the
legislative determinations of special benefit ascertained and
declared herein are ratified and confirmed.
(B) Solid Waste services possess a logical relationship to
the use and enjoyment of improved property by: (1) protecting and
enhancing the value of the improvements and structures through
the provision of available Solid Waste services; (2) protecting
the attractiveness, health, safety and welfare of intended
occupants in the use and enjoyment of improvements and structures
within improved parcels; (3) better service to owners and
tenants, and (4) the enhancement of environmentally responsible
use and enjoyment of residential land.
(C) All of the annual Department of Solid Waste budget, a
portion of which may be funded from special assessment proceeds,
Page 4 of 11
02- 826
is required to meet anticipated demand for the delivery of Solid
Waste services.
(D) It is fair and reasonable to use the CLUC 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 property use and Building Area
for improved property within the City, and (2) the Tax Roll
database, within which such property use codes are maintained by
the Property Appraiser, allows for the development of an
Assessment Roll with parcel designations compatible with those
used on the Tax Roll in conformity with the requirements of the
Uniform Method of Collection.
(E) The data available in the CLUC Codes is useful because
the CLUC Codes represent records maintained by the Property
Appraiser with the most information relative to a particular
property.
(F) Apportioning Solid Waste Assessed Costs among
classifications of improved property based upon historical demand
for Solid Waste services is fair and reasonable and proportional
to the special benefit received.
(G) The size or the value of the Residential Property does
not determine the scope of the required Solid Waste service. The
potential demand for Solid Waste services is driven by the
Page 5 of 11 02-
826
2S
existence of a Dwelling Unit and the anticipated average occupant
population.
(H) Apportioning the Solid Waste Assessed Costs for Solid
Waste services attributable to Residential Property on a per
Dwelling Unit basis is a fair and reasonable method of Parcel
Apportionment based upon historical service data and is required
to avoid cost inefficiency and unnecessary administration.
Section 6. Cost Apportionment methodology.
(A) The City determined the cost of Solid Waste service by
analyzing data from the Department of Solid Waste related to the
delivery of Solid Waste service to Residential Dwelling Units.
The City provides garbage and trash collection to every
Residential Dwelling Unit as defined in the City Code. The City
transports and disposes the collected solid waste material to
locations not under the control of the City. Consequently, the
City pays what is commonly referred to as a "tipping fee" for
said disposal.
(B) The cost was garnered by determining the total cost of
the service to the residential units, including but not limited
to, equipment, salaries, and tipping fees. Those costs were then
apportioned on an equal basis to each of the parcels with the
Residential Property Use Category on a per dwelling unit basis.
(C) The fact that any residential unit located in the City
is occupied shall be proof that garbage or other refuse is being
produced or accumulated upon such premises. However, a temporary
Page 6 of 11
02-- 826
residential vacancy, regardless of duration, shall not authorize
a refund or excuse the nonpayment of the solid waste assessment.
(D) "Appendix B" attached, contains a designation of Code
Descriptions by Property Use Category with the CLUC Codes. Tax
Parcels with a Multi -Family Residential Property Use Category,
and Tax Parcels within the Single Family Residential Property Use
Category designated as Cluster Home, Mobile Home, Condominium or
Cooperative shall not be assessed because the City does not
provide service to them. They shall, however, have service
provided by a Commercial Solid Waste Collector as provided for in
the City Code.
Section 7. Parcel Apportionment methodology.
(A) The apportionment among Tax Parcels of that portion of
the Solid Waste Assessed Costs apportioned to each Residential
Property Use Category under the Cost Apportionment shall be
consistent with the Parcel Apportionment methodology described
and determined in attached `Appendix D', which Parcel
Apportionment methodology is approved, adopted, and incorporated
into this Initial Assessment Resolution by reference.
(B) It is acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment
methodology described and determined in attached `Appendix D', is
to be applied in the calculation of the estimated Solid Waste
Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this Initial
Assessment Resolution.

Section 8. Determination of Solid Waste Assessed Costs;
establishment of initial Solid Waste
Assessments.
(A) The Solid Waste 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, 2002, is the amount determined in the
Estimated Solid Waste Assessment Rate Schedule. The approval of
the Estimated Solid Waste Assessment Rate Schedule by the
adoption of this Initial Assessment Resolution determines the
amount of the Solid Waste Assessed Costs. The remainder of such
Fiscal Year budget for Solid Waste services, facilities, and
programs shall be funded from available City revenue other than
Solid Waste Assessment proceeds.
(B) The estimated Solid Waste Assessments specified in the
Estimated Solid Waste Assessment Rate Schedule are established to
fund the specified Solid Waste Assessed Costs determined to be
assessed in the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2002.
(C) The estimated Solid Waste Assessments established in
this Initial 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, 2002, as provided in Section 9 of this Initial
Assessment Resolution.
Page 8 of 11 02'-
826
Section 9. Assessment Roll.
(A) The City Manager is directed to prepare, or cause to be
prepared, a preliminary Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year
commencing October 1, 2002, in the manner provided in
Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. The Assessment Roll shall
include all Tax Parcels within the Property Use Categories. The
City Manager shall apportion the estimated Solid Waste Assessed
Cost to be recovered through Solid Waste Assessments in the
manner set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution. A copy
of this Initial Assessment Resolution, documentation related to
the estimated amount of the Solid Waste Assessed Cost to be
recovered through the imposition of Solid Waste 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 Solid
Waste Assessment for each parcel of property can be determined by
the use of a computer terminal available to the public.
(B) It is ascertained, determined, and declared that the
method of determining the Solid Waste Assessments for Solid Waste
services as set forth in this Initial Assessment Resolution is a
fair and reasonable method of apportioning the Solid Waste
Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property located within
the City.
Page 9 of 11
02- 826
Section 10. Method of collection. The Solid Waste
Assessments shall be collected in substantially the same manner

Commission will receive and consider any comments on the Solid
Waste Assessments from the public and affected property owners
and consider imposing Solid Waste Assessments and collecting such
assessments using the uniform method provided in
Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes. Nothing shall preclude the
City Commission from recessing and reconvening the public hearing
at another site or facility to make the attendance or
participation by all interested persons more comfortable or
convenient.
Section 12. Notice. The City Manager shall publish a
notice of the public hearing authorized by Section 11 hereof in
the manner and time provided for in Section 197.3632, Florida

2002, in substantially the form attached as `Appendix E'.

derived by the City from the Solid Waste Assessments will be
utilized for the provision of Solid Waste services, facilities,
and programs. In the event there is any fund balance remaining
Page 10 of 11
020 826
at the end of the Fiscal Year, such balance shall be carried
forward and used only to fund Solid Waste services, facilities,
and programs.

ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the attached Final Assessment Resolution, with attachments,
relating to the Solid Waste Assessment be adopted. This Resolution re -imposes the Solid Waste
assessments against assessed property located within the City of Miami for the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 2003. It further approves the rate of assessment and assessment roll as well as provide for
an effective date. The approval of this recommendation will provide for no increase from last fiscal
year's assessment; amount to remain at $325 per household.
BACKGROUND
Please be advised that this amount will be provided to Miami -Dade County for inclusion on the
TRIM Notice and as such is the maximum amount that the City can charge and collect via the ad
valorem tax notices. Should the City decide to charge a higher rate, we would have to bill and
collect separately from the tax bills.
The preliminary rate schedule was approved pursuant to Resolution No. 01-590, adopted June 14,
2001, and was in accordance with the Five Year Plan which was previously approved by the Miami
City Commission and the Financial Oversight Board.
Upon the re -imposition of Solid Waste Assessments for solid waste services, facilities, or programs
against Assessed Property located within the City, the City shall provide solid waste services to such
Assessed Property. A portion of the cost to provide such solid waste services, facilities, or programs
shall be funded from proceeds of the Solid Waste Assessments. The remaining costs required to
provide solid waste services, facilities and programs shall be funded by available City revenues other
than Solid Waste Assessment proceeds.
This Resolution constitutes the Final Rate Resolution for FY 102-03 as defined in Ordinance No.
11807, adopted June 22, 1999, which amended the process for updating the Assessment Roll and
directed the re -imposition of Solid Waste Assessments on an annual basis, pursuant to Section
1937.362 and 197.3635, Florida Statutes.
