Vero Beach Council approves special-assessment liens for septic upgrades at four properties
Summary
The Vero Beach City Council voted unanimously to impose four special-assessment liens of $5,400 each to fund STEP (septic tank effluent pump) systems at four properties, with roll calls recorded for each resolution.
The Vero Beach City Council on a 5-0 vote approved four separate resolutions establishing special-assessment liens of $5,400 each to fund septic tank effluent pump (STEP) systems serving individual properties.
The resolutions, each introduced and approved separately, applied to properties identified in the meeting packet as: 142520 Ninth Avenue; 192630 Eighth Avenue; 204630 First Avenue; and 3715 Sixteenth Street in Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida. Each resolution included a provision setting the special-assessment lien and an effective date.
City staff presented each resolution, there was no public comment on the items, and council members voted by roll call. For each resolution the clerk recorded: Mister Voss — Yes; Mister Dingle — Yes; Mister Carroll — Yes; Vice Mayor Moore — Yes; Mayor Catunno — Yes. Each motion passed unanimously 5 to 0.
The measures will allow the city to place liens to recover the cost of installing STEP systems for the listed properties; the city said the liens provide for an effective date in the resolution text.
Council did not debate the underlying engineering or contractor selection during the votes, and no amendments were offered. The votes were handled as part of the council’s consent/business agenda.
The approvals mean the city can move forward with placing the special-assessment liens on the properties named in the respective resolutions; further details about lien collection procedures and timelines were not specified during the meeting.
