AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

To:	Supervisors Dritz, Metcalf, Messam, Robau and Gallinaro Cc:	 Todd Wodraska, Secretary
From: Amity Barnard, General Counsel

RE:	Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority, authorizing the Authority Attorney, pursuant to Section 164.1014(2), Florida statutes, to take all legal action and seek all available legal remedies to protect the authority and the residents within jurisdictions that have opted into the authority’s program utilizing PACE from significant legal rights being compromised by the usurpation of rights by the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors’ refusal to levy lawful authority assessments for the 2023 fiscal year, and potentially future fiscal years; Providing for incorporation of recitals; bypassing Florida Statutes Chapter 164 conflicts resolution procedures in order to protect the authority and its resident users from imminent harm; Providing the Authority Attorney with authority; and Providing for an effective date.

The following describes the above-referenced agenda item:

The Authority has current and valid agreements in place with both the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors. The Authority adopted Resolution Nos. 2016-17 and 2017-12 expressing intent to utilize the uniform method of collecting its energy improvement assessments or other such assessments imposed by the Authority as provided in Chapters 163 and 189, Florida Statutes within Seminole and Hernando Counties respectively and published the requisite legal advertisements in accordance with Chapter 197, Florida Statutes.

On August 24, 2023, the Authority timely submitted the Authority’s final certified assessments roll, including 139 assessments totaling $220,413.70, to the Hernando County Tax Collector for levy and collection pursuant to Florida law and the Hernando

Resolution No. 2023-11
County Agreement. On September 13, 2023, the Authority timely submitted the Authority’s final certified assessments roll, including 30 assessments totaling
$64,862.03, to the Seminole County Tax Collector for levy and collection pursuant to Florida law and the Seminole County Agreement.

Authority staff followed up with written correspondence on multiple occasions with both Tax Collectors to confirm the levy and collection of all legal Authority assessments under state law and the respective binding agreements. Both the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors have refused, either by silence or express refusal, to levy and collect the Authority’s assessments despite the fact that all assessments are legal assessments under Florida law and valid and binding agreements with both offices. The actions of both the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors contravene the requirements of Chapter 197, Florida Statutes and the valid agreements in place with both offices.

Authority staff is requesting authorization to take any and all action necessary to protect the Authority from the actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors.

This is a budgetary item and there is a fiscal impact for authorizing this resolution. General Counsel recommends that the Board pass the above-referenced resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE FLORIDA GREEN FINANCE AUTHORITY, AUTHORIZING THE AUTHORITY ATTORNEY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 164.1014(2), FLORIDA STATUTES, TO TAKE ALL LEGAL ACTION AND SEEK ALL AVAILABLE LEGAL REMEDIES TO PROTECT THE AUTHORITY AND THE RESIDENTS WITHIN JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE OPTED INTO THE AUTHORITY’S PROGRAM UTILIZING PACE FROM SIGNIFICANT LEGAL RIGHTS BEING COMPROMISED BY THE USURPATION OF RIGHTS BY THE SEMINOLE AND HERNANDO COUNTY TAX COLLECTORS’ REFUSAL TO LEVY LAWFUL AUTHORITY ASSESSMENTS FOR THE 2023 FISCAL YEAR, AND POTENTIALLY FUTURE FISCAL YEARS; PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; BYPASSING FLORIDA STATUTES CHAPTER 164 CONFLICTS RESOLUTION PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE AUTHORITY AND ITS RESIDENT USERS FROM IMMINENT HARM; PROVIDING THE AUTHORITY ATTORNEY WITH AUTHORITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, Section 164.1041(2), Florida Statutes, provides in part that " if a governmental entity, by a three-fourths vote of its governing body, finds that an immediate danger to the health, safety or welfare of the public requires immediate action, or that significant legal rights will be compromised if a court proceeding does not take place before the provisions of this act are complied with, no notice or public meeting or other proceeding as provided by this act shall be required before such a court proceeding"; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority finds that in order to protect the significant legal rights of the residents utilizing the Authority’s program in Seminole and Hernando counties, it is necessary to seek direct relief from the Courts and bypass Chapter 164, Florida Statutes in order to protect the Authority and its resident users from the County's failure to levy and collect the Authority’s legal and valid assessments within Seminole and Hernando Counties; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority hereby authorizes the Authority Attorney, or designee, to draft, file, execute, take any and all action necessary to protect the Authority from the actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 164.1041(2), Florida Statutes, the Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority authorizes the Authority Attorney to proceed with any action to protect the Authority and its resident PACE program users from the illegal and improper actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE FLORIDA GREEN FINANCE AUTHORITY AS FOLLOWS:

-2-

SECTION 1. RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS. The Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority finds that the significant legal rights of the Authority’s resident users have and will continue to be compromised by the actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors and their unilateral usurpation of the Authority’s and its resident user’s rights under Chapter 197, Florida Statutes and current Interlocal Cooperation Agreements for Tax Collector Services (Hernando County) and Uniform PACE Collection Agreement (Seminole County) regarding refusal by both to levy lawful Authority assessments for the 2023 fiscal year, and potentially future fiscal years. The Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority finds that the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors actions, its usurpation of the Authority's rights under Florida law and the applicable agreements, if allowed to continue will cause the Authority’s resident PACE program users irreparable harm. Additionally, both County's actions have directly and significantly affected the Authority’s legal rights in breach of both the Interlocal Cooperation Agreements for Tax Collector Services (Hernando County) and Uniform PACE Collection Agreement (Seminole County). Accordingly, per Section 164.1041(2), Florida Statutes, the Board of Supervisors of the Florida Green Finance Authority authorizes its Authority Attorney, or designee, to take all necessary steps to file an independent action in order to seek relief from the actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collectors, and include and all necessary parties to the legal action in order to prevent imminent danger to the Authority and its resident PACE program users, and the significant compromise of the Authority’s legal rights under state law and the agreements with these entities.

SECTION 3. AUTHORITY OF THE AUTORITY’S ATTORNEY. General Counsel for the Florida Green Finance Authority, or his designee, is authorized to take all necessary actions to challenge the actions of the Seminole and Hernando County Tax Collector, to file an independent action against each, and include all necessary private or public entities, and to seek all available remedies under the law. The Authority’s General Counsel, or his designee, is authorized to take any action, execute any document, necessary in furtherance of this resolution.

SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its passage and adoption.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of December, 2023.
