(a)

The rate resolution shall fix and establish the assessment to be imposed in each parcel category.

(b)

The board shall adopt by resolution a tentative rate resolution establishing the assessments proposed to be imposed against each parcel in the unit for the purpose of providing beach restoration services. Upon adoption by the board of the tentative rate resolution, the county administrator shall cause to be prepared a preliminary annual assessment roll.

(c)

Upon the preparation of the preliminary annual assessment roll, the board shall hold a public hearing to adopt the rate resolution and the annual assessment roll for the ensuing fiscal year. Notice of the proposed assessments shall be mailed to each owner specifying the amount of the proposed assessment and the time and location of the public hearing. Notice shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the public hearing. At such public hearing, the board shall hear comments and objections from owners and other members of the public as to the proposed assessments and shall review the preliminary assessment roll prepared by the county administrator for preparation in conformity with the tentative rate resolution and this article. The board shall also hear comments or objections from any owner or member of the public as to the method of apportionment of the cost of funding the beach restoration project against any parcel within the unit. The board shall make such increase, decrease or revision to any proposed assessment, as it shall deem necessary or appropriate and shall adopt a rate resolution. In addition, the board shall make such changes, modifications or additions as necessary to conform the preliminary annual assessment roll with the adopted rate resolution and this article. The board may continue said public hearing to a date and time certain without the necessity of further public notice to allow prior to final adoption increases, decreases or revisions to the tentative rate resolution or changes, modification or additions to the preliminary assessment roll or for such other reason deemed necessary in the sole discretion of the board. If upon completion of such public hearing the board shall be satisfied that the annual assessment roll has been prepared in conformity with the rate resolution and this article, it shall ratify and confirm such roll.

(d)

Notwithstanding the mailing or publication of a proposed schedule of assessments, the board shall have full and absolute discretion at such public hearing to increase, decrease or revise any proposed Navarre Beach Restoration Project Assessment.
