Matheny Creek Project Update – October 2009

In April 2007, the Sarasota County Commission approved the maintenance dredge construction contract with Marine Contracting Group, Inc., from Punta Gorda, Florida. Construction began in July 2007 and was completed in November 2007. Remediation (additional dredging) was completed in February 2008 to address several owners concerns. 

On Dec. 16, 2008, staff received authorization from the Sarasota County Commission to advertise a public hearing regarding an Initial Rate Resolution to establish the assessment methodology for the levy of non-ad valorem property assessments to fund the completed maintenance dredge project. The Jan. 13, 2009, public hearing was continued by the commissioners three times to allow staff to discuss project issues and remediation of those issues with property owners.

At a May 27, 2009 public hearing, staff presented the commission with the initial rate resolution and estimated assessment amounts. The commission unanimously approved the resolution. The assessments were finalized during the September 2009 budget meetings and the first of ten annual assessments appeared on the November 2009 tax bill.
