Title

A Resolution expressing the City of Coral Gables' desire to transfer control of the Special Taxing District for Snapper Creek Lakes' Security Guard District, from Miami-Dade County, to the City of Coral Gables. (Effective October 1, 2018)

 

Body

Miami-Dade County recently amended its Code to allow the County to transfer control of special taxing districts that are wholly located within a municipality to that municipality.

 

The Snapper Creek Lakes Club, Inc. has requested that the Snapper Creek Lakes special taxing district for security guard service be transferred to the City. 

 

The first step in the process is for the City Commission to adopt a resolution expressing its intent to have the special district transferred to the City.

 

The next steps in the process involve the Board of County Commissioners adopting a resolution authorizing the transfer, approval by the electors living in the district, and execution of an interlocal agreement between the City and the County relating to the special taxing district.
