Directed staff to proceed into a public hearing regarding the petition from the Property Owners Association of Chesapeake Ranch Estates (POACRE) requesting a third special taxing district. The request is for an annual assessment of $250 against each lot in the subdivision. According to the petition, an assessment in this amount will raise approximately $5,750,000 over the five years, with these funds being utilized for road surfacing, sub-grade repair, patching, and drainage. Directed that the notice of this public hearing be as comprehensive as possible and all information regarding this request made available to the public via the County website, public libraries, etc. Also, directed staff to address the Department of Public Works involvement and to find out how the POACRE membership came to an agreement on this request.
Directed staff to proceed into a public hearing for the requested amendment to the agreement with the Drum Point Property Owners Association (DPPOA). The original agreement dictates the use of the special taxing district funds and contains procedures for approving the use and distribution of the funds. The DPPOA is requesting that the agreement be amended to change the involvement and oversight of the road construction by the Department of Public Works and the role of financial oversight by the Department of Finance and Budget.
