they are in favor of funding the undergrounding of utilities (i.e. electric, telephone, and cable television
utilities) with a special assessment on their property. The original petition return date was set for
October 8, 2018, but it was extended upon the request of North Bay Road property owners to October

creation of the Special Assessment District to fund the undergrounding project requires the approval of

approval threshold. See attached results.

' A special assessment is a charge assessed against a property because that property derives
some special benefit from the expenditure of the money, which benefit is (1) public and not
private, and (2) special to the property rather than general to the community. Special
assessments may be paid in one lump sum, or in annual installments.
