Section 2.	Legislative findings and intent; definitions; policy.—
LEGISLATIVE INTENT AND PU POSE OF THE DIST ICT.—
The extensive lands located wholly within Osceola County and the City of Orlando and covered by this act contain many opportunities for thoughtful, comprehensive, responsible, and consistent development over a long period.
There is a need to use a special and limited purpose independent special district unit of local government for the Sunbridge Stewardship District lands located within Osceola County and the City of Orlando and covered by this act to provide for a more comprehensive communities development approach, which will facilitate an integral relationship between transportation, land use and urban design to provide for a diverse mix of housing and regional employment and economic development

opportunities, rather than fragmented development with underutilized infrastructure generally associated with urban sprawl.
(g) The existence and use of such a special and limited purpose local government for the Sunbridge Stewardship District lands, subject to the respective jurisdiction’s Osceola County comprehensive plan, will provide for a comprehensive and complete communities development approach to promote a sustainable and efficient land use pattern for the Sunbridge Stewardship District lands with long-term planning for conservation, development, and agriculture and silviculture on a large scale; provide opportunities for the mitigation of impacts and development of infrastruc- ture in an orderly and timely manner; prevent the overburdening of the local general purpose government and the taxpayers; and provide an enhanced tax base and regional employment and economic development opportunities.
In order to be responsive to the critical timing required through the exercise of its special management functions, an independent special district requires financing of those functions, including bondable lienable and nonlienable revenue, with full and continuing public disclosure and accountability, funded by landowners, both present and future, and funded also by users of the systems, facilities, and services provided to the land area by the special district, without unduly burdening the taxpayers, citizens, and ratepayers of the state, Osceola County, Orange County, any munici- pality therein, the City of Orlando, or the Tohopekaliga Water Authority.
The special district created and established by this act shall not have or exercise any comprehensive planning, zoning, or development permitting power; the establishment of the special district shall not be considered a development order within the meaning of chapter 380, Florida Statutes; and all applicable planning and permitting laws, rules, regulations, and policies of Osceola County and the City of Orlando, and Orange County, only as it relates to the Orange County Territorial Agreements, control the develop- ment of the land to be serviced by the special district.
The creation by This act of the Sunbridge Stewardship District is not inconsistent with either the Osceola County or the City of Orlando comprehensive plan.
It is the legislative intent and purpose that no debt or obligation of the special district constitute a burden on any local general-purpose local government, the City of Orlando, Orange County, or the Tohopekaliga Water Authority without its consent.
DEFINITIONS.—As used in this act:
(v) “Qualified elector” means any person at least 18 years of age who is a citizen of the United States and a legal resident of the state and of the district and who registers to vote with the Supervisor of Elections in Osceola County or Orange County and resides in either Osceola County or the City of Orlando.

(ee)  “Orange County Territorial Agreements” means the Amended and
 estated Orlando Utilities Commission/Orange County Water Service Territorial Agreement between Orlando Utilities Commission and Orange County dated May 4, 1994, as amended on April 19, 2005, and the City of Orlando/Orange County Wastewater Service Territorial Agreement dated May 4, 1994, as amended on May 7, 2003, and March 4, 2004, both as may be further amended from time to time.
POLICY.—Based upon its findings, ascertainments, determinations, intent, purpose, and definitions, the Legislature states its policy expressly:
The district and the district charter, with its general and special powers, as created in this act, are essential and the best alternative for the residential, commercial, office, hotel, industrial, and other community uses, projects, or functions in the included portions portion of Osceola County and the City of Orlando consistent with the effective comprehensive plan, and designed to serve a lawful public purpose. Additionally, the district and the district charter are not in conflict with and shall not be interpreted in a manner that is inconsistent with the Tohopekaliga Water Authority Act, nor shall such charter amend, supersede, or be interpreted in a manner that is inconsistent with the Orange County Territorial Agreements.
(d) The district shall operate and function subject to, and not incon- sistent with, the applicable comprehensive plan of either Osceola County or the City of Orlando, and any applicable development orders (e.g. detailed specific area plan development orders), zoning regulations, and other land development regulations, or the Orange County Territorial Agreements.
This act may be amended, in whole or in part, only by special act of the Legislature. The board of supervisors of the district shall not ask the Legislature to amend this act without first obtaining a resolution or official statement from Osceola County and the City of Orlando as required by s. 189.031(2)(e)4., Florida Statutes, for creation of an independent special district. However, if an amendment alters the district boundaries in only one jurisdiction or affects the district’s special powers in only one jurisdiction, it is necessary to secure the resolution or statement from only the affected jurisdiction. The board shall not ask the Legislature to amend this act related to the delivery of potable and nonpotable water and wastewater services in Osceola County or the City of Orlando without first obtaining a resolution approving such amendment from the Tohopekaliga Water Authority or its successors for the property in Osceola County, or Orange County or its successors for the property in the City of Orlando.
Nothing in this act is intended to, or shall be construed to, conflict with the Tohopekaliga Water Authority Act or the Orange County Territorial Agreements. Nothing in this act is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit the power of the Tohopekaliga Water Authority or its successors. Pursuant to the Orange County Territorial Agreements, nothing in this act is intended to, or shall be construed to, limit the power of Orange

County or its successors over its water, wastewater, and reclaimed water service area within the district.

Benefit special assessments.—The board annually shall determine, order, and levy the annual installment of the total benefit special assess- ments for bonds issued and related expenses to finance assessable improvements. These assessments may be due and collected during each year county taxes are due and collected, in which case such annual installment and levy shall be evidenced to and certified to the respective property appraisers appraiser by the board not later than August 31 of each year. Such assessment shall be entered by the property appraiser on the county tax rolls and shall be collected and enforced by the tax collectors collector in the same manner and at the same time as county taxes, and the proceeds thereof shall be paid to the district. However, this subsection shall not prohibit the district in its discretion from using the method prescribed in either s. 197.3632 or chapter 173, Florida Statutes, as each may be amended from time to time, for collecting and enforcing these assessments. Each annual installment of benefit special assessments shall be a lien on the property against which assessed until paid and shall be enforceable in like manner as county taxes. The amount of the assessment for the exercise of the district’s powers under subsections (6) and (7) shall be determined by the board based upon a report of the district’s engineer and assessed by the board upon such lands, which may be part or all of the lands within the district benefited by the improvement, apportioned between benefited lands

in proportion to the benefits received by each tract of land. The board may, if it determines it is in the best interests of the district, set forth in the proceedings initially levying such benefit special assessments or in subsequent proceedings a formula for the determination of an amount, which when paid by a taxpayer with respect to any tax parcel, shall constitute a prepayment of all future annual installments of such benefit special assessments and that the payment of which amount with respect to such tax parcel shall relieve and discharge such tax parcel of the lien of such benefit special assessments and any subsequent annual installment thereof. The board may provide further that upon delinquency in the payment of any annual installment of benefit special assessments, the prepayment amount of all future annual installments of benefit special assessments as determined in the preceding sentence shall be and become immediately due and payable together with such delinquent annual installment.
Non-ad valorem maintenance taxes.—If and when authorized by general law, to maintain and to preserve the physical facilities and services constituting the works, improvements, or infrastructure owned by the district pursuant to this act, to repair and restore any one or more of them, when needed, and to defray the current expenses of the district, including any sum which may be required to pay state and county ad valorem taxes on any lands which may have been purchased and which are held by the district under the provisions of this act, the board of supervisors may, upon the completion of said systems, facilities, services, works, improvements, or infrastructure, in whole or in part, as may be certified to the board by the engineer of the board, levy annually a non-ad valorem and nonmillage tax upon each tract or parcel of land within the district, to be known as a “maintenance tax.” This non-ad valorem maintenance tax shall be appor- tioned upon the basis of the net assessments of benefits assessed as accruing from the original construction and shall be evidenced to and certified by the board of supervisors of the district not later than June 1 of each year to the Osceola County and Orange County tax collectors collector and shall be extended on the tax rolls and collected by the tax collectors collector on the merged collection roll of the tax collector in the same manner and at the same time as county ad valorem taxes, and the proceeds therefrom shall be paid to the district. This non-ad valorem maintenance tax shall be a lien until paid on the property against which assessed and enforceable in like manner and of the same dignity as county ad valorem taxes.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.—
As an alternative method to the levy and imposition of special assessments pursuant to chapter 170, Florida Statutes, pursuant to the authority of s. 197.3631, Florida Statutes, or pursuant to other provisions of general law, now or hereafter enacted, which provide a supplemental means or authority to impose, levy, and collect special assessments as otherwise authorized under this act, the board may levy and impose special assess- ments to finance the exercise of any of its powers permitted under this act using the following uniform procedures:

At a noticed meeting, the board of supervisors of the district may consider and review an engineer’s report on the costs of the systems, facilities, and services to be provided, a preliminary special assessment methodology, and a preliminary roll based on acreage or platted lands, depending upon whether platting has occurred.
The special assessment methodology shall address and discuss and the board shall consider whether the systems, facilities, and services being contemplated will result in special benefits peculiar to the property, different in kind and degree than general benefits, as a logical connection between the systems, facilities, and services themselves and the property, and whether the duty to pay the special assessments by the property owners is apportioned in a manner that is fair and equitable and not in excess of the special benefit received. It shall be fair and equitable to designate a fixed proportion of the annual debt service, together with interest thereon, on the aggregate principal amount of bonds issued to finance such systems, facilities, and services which give rise to unique, special, and peculiar benefits to property of the same or similar characteristics under the special assessment methodology so long as such fixed proportion does not exceed the unique, special, and peculiar benefits enjoyed by such property from such systems, facilities, and services.
The district engineer’s cost report shall identify the nature of the proposed systems, facilities, and services, their location, a cost breakdown plus a total estimated cost, including cost of construction or reconstruction, labor, and materials, lands, property, rights, easements, franchises, or systems, facilities, and services to be acquired, cost of plans and specifica- tions, surveys of estimates of costs and revenues, costs of engineering, legal, and other professional consultation services, and other expenses or costs necessary or incident to determining the feasibility or practicability of such construction, reconstruction, or acquisition, administrative expenses, rela- tionship to the authority and power of the district in its charter, and such other expenses or costs as may be necessary or incident to the financing to be authorized by the board of supervisors.
The preliminary special assessment roll will be in accordance with the assessment methodology as may be adopted by the board of supervisors; the special assessment roll shall be completed as promptly as possible and shall show the acreage, lots, lands, or plats assessed and the amount of the fairly and reasonably apportioned assessment based on special and peculiar benefit to the property, lot, parcel, or acreage of land; and, if the special assessment against such lot, parcel, acreage, or portion of land is to be paid in installments, the number of annual installments in which the special assessment is divided shall be entered into and shown upon the special assessment roll.
The board of supervisors of the district may determine and declare by an initial special assessment resolution to levy and assess the special assessments with respect to assessable improvements stating the nature of the systems, facilities, and services, improvements, projects, or

infrastructure constituting such assessable improvements, the information in the district engineer’s cost report, the information in the special assessment methodology as determined by the board at the noticed meeting and referencing and incorporating as part of the resolution the district engineer’s cost report, the preliminary special assessment methodology, and the preliminary special assessment roll as referenced exhibits to the resolution by reference. If the board determines to declare and levy the special assessments by the initial special assessment resolution, the board shall also adopt and declare a notice resolution which shall provide and cause the initial special assessment resolution to be published once a week for a period of 2 weeks in newspapers of general circulation published in Osceola and Orange Counties County and said board shall by the same resolution fix a time and place at which the owner or owners of the property to be assessed or any other persons interested therein may appear before said board and be heard as to the propriety and advisability of making such improvements, as to the costs thereof, as to the manner of payment therefor, and as to the amount thereof to be assessed against each property so improved. Thirty days’ notice in writing of such time and place shall be given to such property owners. The notice shall include the amount of the special assessment and shall be served by mailing a copy to each assessed property owner at his or her last known address, the names and addresses of such property owners to be obtained from the record of the property appraiser of the county political subdivision in which the land is located or from such other sources as the district manager or engineer deems reliable, and proof of such mailing shall be made by the affidavit of the manager of the district or by the engineer, said proof to be filed with the district manager, provided that failure to mail said notice or notices shall not invalidate any of the proceedings hereunder. It is provided further that the last publication shall be at least 1 week prior to the date of the hearing on the final special assessment resolution. Said notice shall describe the general areas to be improved and advise all persons interested that the description of each property to be assessed and the amount to be assessed to each piece, parcel, lot, or acre of property may be ascertained at the office of the manager of the district. Such service by publication shall be verified by the affidavit of the publisher and filed with the manager of the district. Moreover, the initial special assessment resolution with its attached, referenced, and incorpo- rated engineer’s cost report, preliminary special assessment methodology, and preliminary special assessment roll, along with the notice resolution, shall be available for public inspection at the office of the manager and the office of the district engineer or any other office designated by the board of supervisors in the notice resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the landowners of all of the property which is proposed to be assessed may give the district written notice of waiver of any notice and publication provided for in this subparagraph and such notice and publication shall not be required, provided, however, that any meeting of the board of supervisors to consider such resolution shall be a publicly noticed meeting.
At the time and place named in the noticed resolution as provided for in subparagraph 2., the board of supervisors of the district shall meet and

hear testimony from affected property owners as to the propriety and advisability of making the systems, facilities, services, projects, works, improvements, or infrastructure and funding them with assessments referenced in the initial special assessment resolution on the property. Following the testimony and questions from the members of the board or any professional advisors to the district of the preparers of the engineer’s cost report, the special assessment methodology, and the special assessment roll, the board of supervisors shall make a final decision on whether to levy and assess the particular special assessments. Thereafter, the board of super- visors shall meet as an equalizing board to hear and to consider any and all complaints as to the particular special assessments and shall adjust and equalize the special assessments to ensure proper assessment based on the benefit conferred on the property.
When so equalized and approved by resolution or ordinance by the board of supervisors, to be called the final special assessment resolution, a final special assessment roll shall be filed with the clerk of the board of the district and such special assessment shall stand confirmed and remain legal, valid, and binding first liens on the property against which such special assessments are made until paid, equal in dignity to the first liens of ad valorem taxation of county and municipal governments and school boards. However, upon completion of the systems, facilities, service, project, improvement, works, or infrastructure, the district shall credit to each of the assessments the difference in the special assessment as originally made, approved, levied, assessed, and confirmed and the proportionate part of the actual cost of the improvement to be paid by the particular special assessments as finally determined upon the completion of the improvement; but in no event shall the final special assessment exceed the amount of the special and peculiar benefits as apportioned fairly and reasonably to the property from the system, facility, or service being provided as originally assessed. Promptly after such confirmation, the special assessment shall be recorded by the clerk of the district in the minutes of the proceedings of the district, and the record of the lien in this set of minutes shall constitute prima facie evidence of its validity. The board of supervisors, in its sole discretion, may, by resolution grant a discount equal to all or a part of the payee’s proportionate share of the cost of the project consisting of bond financing cost, such as capitalized interest, funded reserves, and bond discounts included in the estimated cost of the project, upon payment in full of any special assessments during such period prior to the time such financing costs are incurred as may be specified by the board of supervisors in such resolution.
District special assessments may be made payable in installments over no more than 40 years after from the date of the payment of the first installment thereof and may bear interest at fixed or variable rates.

No contract shall be let by the board for any goods, supplies, or materials to be purchased when the amount thereof to be paid by the district shall exceed the amount provided in s. 287.017, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, for category four, unless notice of bids shall be advertised once in newspapers a newspaper in general circulation in Osceola and Orange Counties County. Any board seeking to construct or improve a public building, structure, or other public works shall comply with the bidding procedures of s. 255.20, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, and other applicable general law. In each case, the bid of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder shall be accepted unless all bids are rejected because the bids are too high or the board determines it is in the best interests of the district to reject all bids. The board may require the bidders to furnish bond with a responsible surety to be approved by the board. Nothing in this subsection shall prevent the board from undertaking and performing the construction, operation, and maintenance of any project or facility authorized by this act by the employment of labor, material, and machinery.
