INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R-18-19
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, INCREASING THE
STORMWATER UTILITY FEE PURSUANT TO SECTION 102-125 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF
THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Council of the City of Sebastian, Indian River County, Florida, will hold a public hearing concerning the
adoption of the above referenced resolution on Wednesday, May 9, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers, City Hall, 1225 Main Street, Sebastian, Florida. The Purpose of this resolution is to generate an
additional $1,000,000 for the Sebastian Stormwater Utility Fund by increasing the Equivalent Residential Unit
(ERU) fee from $5.00 per month to $10.00 per month, for total revenues of $2,000,000. The purpose of the
increase is to stabilize the stormwater fund balance, generate additional revenue which will help the City
continue stormwater maintenance programs, replace equipment, and prepare for future capital investment.
This increase would be effective throughout the corporate limits of the City of Sebastian, as geographically
depicted. The stormwater fee is collected by the Indian River Tax Collector on the annual tax bill. Failure to pay
the assessment will cause a tax certificate to be issued
against the property which may result in a loss of title.
All affected property owners have a right to appear at
the hearing and to file written objections with the local
governing board within 20 days of the notice.
At the conclusion of this hearing, the City Council may
adopt this resolution. Interested parties may inspect the
proposed resolution in the City Clerk’s office at City Hall,
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and may
appear at the hearing and be heard with respect to the
proposed resolution.
Any person who may wish to appeal any decision which
may be made by the City Council at this hearing will need
to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is
made which record includes the testimony and evidence
upon which the appeal will be based. (F.S.286.0105)
