The use of an annual special assessment to fund fire rescue services benefiting improved property located within the City of Tamarac in the past has proven to be fair, efficient and effective. The total annual fire rescue assessment revenue to be collected within the City of Tamarac is estimated to be $2,900,000. The annual fire rescue assessment is based on the classification of each parcel of property and number of billing units contained therein. The above parcel is classified as RESIDENTIAL.

A public hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. on September 8, 1999, in the City Commission Chambers of City Hall, 7525 Northwest 88th Avenue, Tamarac, Florida for the purpose of receiving public comment on the proposed assessments. All owners of improved property within the City were mailed individual notices similar to this one last year. Because the estimated fire rescue assessment rate schedule is not set to increase over that which was imposed last year, only owners of reclassified property which resulted in an increased Fire Rescue Assessment, or owners of property not included on the prior yea assessment roll will received updated mailed notice in addition to the annual published notice. You and all other affect 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 you decide to appeal any decision made by the City Commission with respect to any matter considered at the hearing, you 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.

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.
