Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Assessments upon such Institutional Property whose use is also wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida Law, which typically describes improved parcels which are neither residential, commercial or industrial in use, and are predominately used for educational, governmental, eleemosynary, community service, religious, cultural, literary, health care, benevolent and scientific purposes. Pursuant to Section 8 of the Preliminary Rate Resolution the City Commission has ascertained, determined, and declared that Public Housing Property relieves a shortage of safe or sanitary dwelling accommodations available at rents which persons of low income can afford and avoids conditions which otherwise might necessitate the further expenditure of public funds. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to irnpose Fire Assessments upon Public Housing Property. Any shortfall in the expected Fire Assessment proceeds due to any reduction or exemption from payment of the Fire Assessments required by law or authorized by the City Commission shall be supplemented by any legally available funds, or combination of such funds, and shall not be paid for by proceeds of funds derived from the Fire Assessments. The City Commission has also made the legislative determination that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines any exemption or reduction by the City Commission is improper or otherwise adversely affects the validity of the Fire Assessments imposed fo, this Fiscal Year, the sole and exclusive remedy shall be the imposition of a Fire Assessment upon each affected tax parcel in the amount of the Fire Assessment that would have, been otherwise imposed save and except for such reduction or exemption afforded to such tax parcel by the City Commission. Copies of the Fire Rescue Assessment Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11584), the Initial Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 98-325), the Final Assessment Resolution (Resolution No. 98-419), the Preliminary Rate Resolution (Resolution No. 05-0431), and the amendment thereto, initiating the annual process of updating the Assessment Roll and imposing the Fire Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll for the upcoming fiscal year are available for inspection at the Office of the City Clerk of Miami, Florida, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida. The assessments will be collected on the ad valorem tax bill to be mailed in November 2005, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes.
