§ 19-461. Findings.

It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that:

(1)

Numerous residential lots as identified in attached Exhibit A* are located on a common canal system.

(2)

In order to maintain water access and property values, dredging the mouth of the canal system will be necessary.

(3)

The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners finds that the most equitable method of providing such funding is through the creation of a Tom King Bayou Canal Maintenance Municipal Service Benefit Unit (unit) to include the properties described in the attached Exhibit A.*

The unit will utilize assessments to insure that all property owners benefiting from the canal dredging and maintenance shall fund the complete cost of such maintenance.

Santa Rosa County is authorized by Chapters 125 and 197, Florida Statutes, to implement the provisions of this article.
