Commission approves culvert-assistance MSBU assessment resolution
Summary
The board approved Resolution No. 2026-3 to establish special non-ad valorem assessments to fund stormwater culvert replacements through the MSBU culvert assistance program and authorized the chair to sign documents as approved by the county attorney.
Barbara Geller, the county's MSBU coordinator, presented the culvert assistance program and explained that the resolution implements non-ad valorem assessments to fund stormwater culvert improvements within the Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU). Staff recommended approval of Resolution No. 2026-3 and authority for the chair to sign documents as approved by the county attorney.
There were no public speakers on the item. Commissioner Townsend thanked staff and praised the program; the board moved, seconded and voted 'Aye,' carrying the motion to approve the resolution. The Chair authorized the county attorney to finalize documents for the chair’s signature.
Why it matters: The resolution creates a mechanism—non-ad valorem assessments within the MSBU—to fund replacement of failed culverts that benefit property within the district. The program was described as an option for property owners to fund culvert replacement costs through a special assessment rather than a one-time outlay.
What’s next: Staff will prepare the assessment roll and follow statutory notice and ordinance requirements; documents will be signed as approved by the county attorney.
