TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(B) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that each parcel of

Memorandum," June 2008, prepared by Government Services Group, Inc., which is
hereby incorporated herein by reference the following legislative determinations.
general
(A) Upon the adoption of this Preliminary Rate Resolution, determining the
Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and identifying the Assessed Property to be included in
the Assessment Roll, the legislative determinations of special benefit ascertained and
declared in Section 1.04 of the Ordinance are hereby ratified and confirmed, to the
extent authorized by law.
.1
1
1
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(B) It is fair and reasonable to use the Improvement Codes and the DOR
Codes for the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment because:
(1) the Tax Roll database employing the use of such property use codes is
the most comprehensive, accurate, and reliable information readily available to
determine the property use and Building Area for improved property within the
City, and
(2) the Tax Roll database within such property use codes is maintained by
the Property Appraiser and is thus consistent with parcel designations on the Tax
Roll which compatibility permits the development of an Assessment Roll in
conformity with the requirements of the Uniform Method of Collection.
(C) The data available in the Improvement Codes is more useful and accurate
to determine Building Area than relying exclusively upon the data maintained in the
DOR Code alone because:
(1) the data maintained in the Improvement Codes reveals the existence
of a Building with a different use than the use described on the DOR Code, and
(2) the Improvement Codes represent records maintained by the Property
Appraiser with the most information relative to Building Area regardless of
property use.
cost apportionment
(D) It is fair and reasonable and consistent with the decision from the Florida
Supreme Court in the case of City of North Lauderdale v. SMM Pro erties Inc., 825 So.
�61
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
2d 343 (Fla. 2002), to exclude from the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost amounts
determined to constitute the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
(E) Apportioning Fire Rescue Assessed Costs among classifications of
improved property based upon historical demand for fire rescue services, but not
Emergency Medical Services, is fair and reasonable and proportional to the special
benefit received, and will ensure that no property is assessed an amount greater than
the special benefit received.
(F) The Fire Rescue Incident Reports are the most reliable data available to
determine the potential demand for fire rescue services from property use and to
determine the benefit to property use resulting from the availability of fire rescue
services to protect and serve Buildings located within Assessed Property and their
intended occupants. There exist sufficient Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting
the historical demand for fire rescue services from Assessed Property within the
Property Use Categories. The Demand Percentage determined for each Property Use
Category by an examination of such Fire Rescue Incident Reports is consistent with the
experience of the City. Therefore, the use of Demand Percentages determined by an
examination of Fire Rescue Incident Reports is a fair and reasonable method to
apportion the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs among the Property Use Categories.
(G) The historical demand for fire rescue service availability for multi -family
and single family Residential Property is substantially similar and any difference in the
percentage of documented fire rescue calls to such specific property uses is statistically
insignificant.
10
C
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(H) As a result of the urbanized character of the City, the suppression of fire
on vacant property primarily benefits the Buildings within the adjacent improved
property by the containment of the spread of fire rather than the preservation of the
vacant property. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to apportion any of the Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs to vacant property and the Fire Rescue Incident Reports
documenting historical fire services provided to vacant property were thus omitted from
the Demand Percentage calculation.
(1) The City's budget is based upon its ability to provide service to improved
property within its boundaries. Therefore, the level of services required to meet
anticipated demand for fire rescue services and the corresponding annual fire rescue
budget required to fund fire rescue services provided to non-specific property uses
would be required notwithstanding the occurrence of any incidents from such non-
specific property uses. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to omit from the Demand
Percentage calculation the Fire Rescue Incident Reports documenting fire rescue
services provided to non-specific property uses.
residential parcel apportionment
(J) Neither the size nor the value of the Residential Property does not
determine the scope of the required fire rescue response. The potential demand for fire
rescue services is driven by the existence of a Dwelling Unit and the anticipated
average occupant population.
(K) Apportioning the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs for fire rescue services
attributable to Residential Property on a per Dwelling Unit basis is required to avoid cost
11
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
inefficiency and unnecessary administration and is a fair and reasonable method of
Parcel Apportionment based upon historical call data.
non-residential parcel apportionment
(L) The risk of loss and the demand for fire rescue service availability is
substantially the same for Buildings below a certain minimum size. Because the value
and anticipated occupancy of non-residential Buildings below a certain minimum size is
less, it is fair, reasonable and equitable to provide a lesser assessment burden on
improved property containing such Buildings by the creation of specific Building Area
classification ranges for such parcels.
(M) The separation of improved Non -Residential Property into Building Area
classification ranges is fair and reasonable for the purposes of Parcel Apportionment
because: (1) the absence of a need for precise square footage data within the ad
valorem tax records maintained by the Property Appraiser undermines the use of actual
Building Area within each improved parcel as a basis for Parcel Apportionment; (2) the
administrative expense and complexity created by an on -site inspection to determine
the actual Building Area within each improved parcel assessed is impractical; (3) the
demand for fire rescue service availability is not precisely determined or measured by
the actual Building Area within benefitted parcels; and (4) the classification of parcels
within Building Area classification ranges is a fair and reasonable method to classify
benefitted parcels and to apportion costs among benefitted parcels that create similar
demand for the availability of fire rescue services.
HK
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(N) The demand for the availability of fire rescue services diminishes at the
outer limit of Building size because a fire occurring in a structure greater than a certain
size is not capable of being suppressed under expected conditions and given the
availability of fire control combat personnel, equipment and apparatus within the City. In
such circumstances, the fire control activities of the City are directed to avoid the spread
of the fire event to adjacent Buildings. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to place a cap
on the Building Area classification of benefitted parcels within Non -Residential Property
based on the fire control personnel, equipment and apparatus available within the City.
(0) Institutional Property whose use is exempt from ad valorem taxation under
Florida law provides facilities and uses to the ownership, occupants, membership as
well as the public in general that otherwise might be requested or required to be
provided by the City and such property uses serve a legitimate public purpose and
provide a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue
Assessments upon Buildings located on such parcels of Institutional Property whose
Building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation under Florida law. Accordingly,
no Fire Rescue Assessment shall be imposed upon a Building located on a parcel of
Institutional Property whose Building use is wholly exempt from ad valorem taxation
under Florida law.
(P) Government Property provides facilities to the community, local
constituents and the public in general that serve a legitimate public purpose and provide
a public benefit. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable not to impose Fire Rescue
Assessments upon such parcels of Government Property.
13
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
SECTION 6: COST APPORTIONMENT.
(A) Utilizing data from the Fire Rescue Incident Reports related to the type of
calls and physical location of each call, the City assigned fire rescue incidents within the
City, to Property Use Categories.
(B) Based upon such assignment of Fire Rescue Incident Reports to Property
Use Categories, the number of Fire Rescue Incident Reports filed within a sampling
period were determined for each Property Use Category. A Demand Percentage was
then determined for each Property Use Category by calculating the percentage that Fire
Rescue Incident Reports allocated to each Property Use Category, bear to the total
number of Fire Rescue Incident Reports documented for all Property Use Categories
within the sampling period.
(C) Appendix C contains a designation of Code Descriptions by Property Use
Category with the Improvement Codes. Such correlation between Code Descriptions
contained in the Fixed Property Use Codes, as provided in Appendix B, on the Fire
Rescue Incident Reports and the Improvement Codes is necessary to allocate the
historical demand for fire rescue services as reflected by the Fire Rescue Incident
Reports for Tax Parcels on the Tax Roll within the Property Use Categories.
(D) The Demand Percentage for each Property Use Category was then
applied to the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs and the resulting product is the cost
allocation of that portion of the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs allocated to each individual
Property Use Category.

TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TRII 1438
SECTION 7: PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY.
(A) The apportionment among Tax Parcels of that portion of the Fire Rescue
Assessed Costs apportioned to each Property Use Category under the Cost
Apportionment shall be consistent with the Parcel Apportionment methodology
described and determined in Appendix E, which Parcel Apportionment methodology is
hereby approved, adopted, and incorporated into this Preliminary Rate Resolution by
reference.
(B) It is hereby acknowledged that the Parcel Apportionment methodology
described and determined in Appendix E is to be applied in the calculation of the
estimated Fire Rescue Assessment rates established in Section 8 of this Preliminary
Rate Resolution.
SECTION 8: DETERMINATION OF FIRE RESCUE ASSESSED COSTS;
ESTABLISHMENT OF ANNUAL FIRE RESCUE ASSESSMENT RATES.
(A) The Fire Rescue Assessed Costs to be assessed and apportioned among
benefitted parcels pursuant to the Cost Apportionment and the Parcel Apportionment for
the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2008, is the amount determined in the
Estimated Fire Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule, attached hereto as Appendix F.
The approval of the Estimated Fire Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule by the adoption
of this Preliminary Rate Resolution determines the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed
Costs. The remainder of such Fiscal Year budget for fire rescue services, facilities, and
programs shall be funded from available City revenue other than Fire Rescue
Assessment proceeds.
15
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(B) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments specified in the Estimated Fire
Rescue Assessment Rate Schedule are hereby established to fund the specified Fire
Rescue Assessed Costs determined to be assessed in the Fiscal Year commencing
October 1, 2008. No portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Costs are attributable to
impact fee revenue that funds capital improvements necessitated by new growth or
development. Further, no portion of such Fire Rescue Assessed Costs are attributable
to the Emergency Medical Services Cost.
(C) The estimated Fire Rescue Assessments established in this Preliminary
Rate Resolution shall be the estimated assessment rates applied by the City Manager
in the preparation of the updated Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing
October 1, 2008 as provided in Section 9 of this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
SECTION 9: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT ROLL.
(A) The City Manager is hereby directed to prepare, or cause to be prepared,
an updated Assessment Roll for the Fiscal Year commencing October 1, 2008, in the
manner provided in the Ordinance. The updated Assessment Roll shall include all Tax
Parcels within the Property Use Categories. The City Manager shall apportion the
estimated Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through Fire Rescue
Assessments in the manner set forth in this Preliminary Rate Resolution.
(B) A copy of this Preliminary Rate Resolution, documentation related to the
estimated amount of the Fire Rescue Assessed Cost to be recovered through the
imposition of Fire Rescue Assessments, and the preliminary Assessment Roll shall be
maintained on file in the office of the City Clerk and open to public inspection. The
16
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
foregoing shall not be construed to require that the preliminary Assessment Roll be in
printed form if the amount of the Fire Rescue Assessment for each parcel of property
can be determined by the use of a computer terminal available to the public.
(C) It is hereby ascertained, determined, and declared that the method of
determining the Fire Rescue Assessments for fire rescue services as set forth in this
Preliminary Rate Resolution is a fair and reasonable method of apportioning the Fire
Rescue Assessed Cost among parcels of Assessed Property located within the City.
SECTION 10: AUTHORIZATION OF PUBLIC HEARING. There is hereby
established a public hearing to be held at 5:05 p.m. on September 12, 2008, in City
Commission Chambers of City Hall, 7525 Northwest 88th Avenue, Tamarac, Florida, at
which time the City Commission will receive and consider any comments on the Fire
Rescue Assessments from the public and affected property owners and consider
imposing Fire Rescue Assessments for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2008 and
collecting such assessments on the same bill as ad valorem taxes.
SECTION 11: NOTICE BY PUBLICATION. The City Manager shall
publish a notice of the public hearing authorized by Section 10 of this Preliminary Rate
Resolution in the manner and time provided in Section 2.04 of the Ordinance. The
notice shall be published no later than August 23, 2008, in substantially the form
attached hereto as Appendix G.
SECTION 12: NOTICE BY MAIL.
(A) The City Manager shall provide notice by first class mail to the Owner of
each parcel of Assessed Property in the event circumstances described in Section
17
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
2.08(F) of the Ordinance so require. Such notice shall be in substantially the form
attached hereto as Appendix H. Such notices shall be mailed no later than August 23,
(B) If the City determines that the truth-in-millage ("TRIM") notice that is
mailed by the Property Appraiser under section 200.069, Florida Statutes, also fulfills
the requirements of paragraph (A) of this Section 12, then the separate mailing
requirement described in paragraph (A) will be deemed to be fulfilled by the TRIM
notice.
SECTION 13: APPLICATION OF ASSESSMENT PROCEEDS. Proceeds
derived by the City from the Fire Rescue Assessments will be utilized for the provision
of fire rescue services, facilities, and programs. In the event there is any fund balance
remaining at the end of the Fiscal Year, such balance shall be carried forward and used
only to fund fire rescue services, facilities, and programs.
SECTION 14: CONFLICTS. All resolutions or parts of resolutions in
conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
SECTION 15: SEVERABILITY. If any clause, section, other part or
application of this resolution is held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unconstitutional or invalid, in part or application, it shall not affect the validity of the
remaining portions or applications of this resolution.

APPENDIX E
PARCEL APPORTIONMENT METHODOLOGY
The Cost Apportionment to each Property Use Category and to Mixed Use
Property shall be apportioned among the Tax Parcels within each Property Use
Category and to Mixed Use Property Tax Parcels as follows.
SECTION E-1. RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue Assessment
for each Tax Parcel of Residential Property shall be computed by multiplying the
Demand Percentage attributable to Residential Property by the Fire Rescue Assessed
Costs, dividing such product by the total number of Dwelling Units shown on the Tax
Roll within the City, and then multiplying such quotient by the number of Dwelling Units
located on such Tax Parcel.
SECTION E-2. NON-RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY. The Fire Rescue
Assessments for each Building of Non -Residential Property shall be computed as
follows:
(A) Respectively, multiply the Fire Rescue Assessed Costs by the Demand
Percentage attributable to each of the non-residential Property Use Categories. The
resulting dollar amounts reflect the portions of the City's fire rescue budget to be
respectively funded from Fire Rescue Assessment revenue derived from each of the
non-residential Property Use Categories.
(B) Separate each Building in each of the non-residential Property Use
Categories into one of the following square footage categories:
(1) Buildings with a Building Area of less than 1,999 square feet;
E-1
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(2) Buildings with a Building Area between 2,000 square feet and 3,499
square feet;
(3) Buildings with a Building Area between 3,500 square feet and 4,999
square feet;
(4) Buildings with a Building Area between 5,000 square feet and 9,999
square feet;
(5) Buildings with a Building Area between 10,000 square feet and 19,999
square feet;
(6) Buildings with a Building Area between 20,000 square feet and 29,999
square feet;
(7) Buildings with a Building Area between 30,000 square feet and 39,999
square feet;
(8) Buildings with a Building Area between 40,000 square feet and 49,999
square feet; and
(9) Buildings with a Building Area of 50,000 square feet or greater.
(C) As to each non-residential Property Use Category multiply the number of
Buildings categorized in:
(1) Subsection (B)(1) of this Section by 1,000 square feet;
(2) Subsection (13)(2) of this Section by 2,000 square feet;
(3) Subsection (B)(3) of this Section by 3,500 square feet;
(4) Subsection (B)(4) of this Section by 5,000 square feet;
(5) Subsection (13)(5) of this Section by 10,000 square feet;

TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(6) Subsection (B)(6) of this Section by 20,000 square feet;
(7) Subsection (B)(7) of this Section by 30,000 square feet;
(8) Subsection (B)(8) of this Section by 40,000 square feet; and
(9) Subsection (B)(9) of this Section by 50,000 square feet.
(D) For each non-residential Property Use Category, add the products of
subsections (C)(1) through (C)(9) of this Section. The sum of these products reflects an
aggregate square footage area for each non-residential Property Use Category to be
used by the City in the computation of Fire Rescue Assessments.
(E) Divide the product of subsection (A) of this Section relative to each of the
non-residential Property Use Categories by the sum of the products for each non-
residential Property Use Category described in subsection (D) of this Section. The
resulting quotient expresses a dollar amount adjusted or weighted per square foot of
improved area to be used in computing Fire Rescue Assessments on each of the
respective non-residential Property Use Categories.
(F) For each of the non-residential Property Use Categories, multiply the
resulting quotients from subsection (E) of this Section by each of the respective
products in subsections (C)(1) through (C)(9) of this Section. The resulting products for
each non-residential Property Use Category expresses a series of gross dollar amounts
expected to be funded by all Buildings in the respective non-residential Property Use
Categories in each of the square footage categories described in subsection (B) of this
Section.
E-3
TEMPORARY RESOLUTION NUMBER TR11438
(G) For each of the non-residential Property Use Categories, divide each of
the respective products of subsection (F) of this Section by the number of Buildings
determined to be in each of the square footage categories identified in subsection (B) of
this Section. The result expresses the respective dollar amounts of the Fire Rescue
Assessments to be imposed upon each Building in each of the non-residential Property
