NOTICE OF HEARING TO IMPOSE AND
PROVIDE FOR COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Notice is given that the City Commission of the City of Miami
will conduct a public hearing to consider imposing Solid Waste
special assessments for the provision of Solid Waste services
within the City of Miami for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1,
2007 and ending September 30, 2008.
The hearing will be held at 5:05 p.m. on September 13, 2007,
in the City Commission Chambers of City Hall, 3500 Pan American
Drive, Miami, Florida, for the purpose of receiving public comment
on the proposed assessments. All affected property owners have a
right to appear at the hearing and to file written objections with
the City Commission within 20 days of this notice. If a person
decides to appeal any decision made by the City Commissioners with
respect to any matter considered at the hearing, such person 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
City Clerk at (305) 250-5360 at least seven days prior to the date
of the hearing.
The assessment for each parcel of property will be based upon
each parcel's classification and the total number of billing units
attributed to that parcel. The total estimated Solid Waste
E-1
Assessed Costs to be assessed and collected for the Fiscal Year
commencing October 1, 2007, is $22,337,900. The following table

Copies of the Solid Waste Assessment Ordinance, Initial
Assessment Resolution and the preliminary assessment roll are
available for inspection at the Office of the City Clerk of Miami,
Florida, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida.
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.
The assessments will be collected on the same bill as ad
valorem taxes. Failure to pay the assessment will result in either
the commencement of foreclosure proceedings or cause a tax
certificate to be issued against the property which may result in a
loss of title.
