SECTION 1.03. INTERPRETATION. Unless the context indicates otherwise, words importing the singular number include the plural number, and vice versa; the terms "hereof," "hereby," "herein," "hereto," "hereunder" and similarterms referto this Resolution; and the term "hereafter" means after, and the term "heretofore" means before, the effective date of this Resolution. Words of any gender include the correlative words of the other gender, unless the sense indicates otherwise. SECTION 1.04. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that: (A) The City is authorized by Article VIII, Section 2 of the State Constitution, Section 166.021, Florida Statutes, the Assessment Ordinance, the Uniform Assessment Collection Act, and other applicable provisions of law to provide for the imposition and collection of charges in the form of Assessments. (B) The City has provided, and has imposed Street Lighting Assessments to fund, Street Lighting Services since 2009. (C) In 2014 the City adopted a Street Lighting Assessments methodology which (1) eliminated the distinction between commercial corridors and all other property in the City, and (2) including multi -family parcels in the assessment program. (D) The City provides Street Lighting Services at levels of service that are essentially equal throughout the Street Lighting Service Area, such that there is no material difference in the benefit to Tax Parcels in commercial corridors compared to the rest of the Street Lighting Service Area. Therefore, it is fair and reasonable to adopt a rate structure for the Street Lighting Assessments which is applied uniformly throughout the Street Lighting Service Area. 0
