Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners approve a resolution cancelling the previously called local referendum election concurrent with the November 2024 general election to determine if a non-ad valorem special assessment shall be levied to fund the paving of certain County-maintained dirt roads in Canaveral Groves.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
On July 24, 2024, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2024-069, calling for a local referendum election to determine if a non-ad valorem special assessment shall be levied to fund the paving of certain County-maintained roads in Canaveral Groves. The referendum result would serve as a non-binding referendum, requiring further action of the Board to implement the special assessment even if approved by a majority of electors residing in the affected area.
Due to additional information received after the adoption of Resolution No. 2024-069 and based upon input from property owners and electors residing within the affected area, the District 1 Commissioner wishes to cancel the referendum election.
As ballots for the November election have already been printed, the referendum may not be removed from the ballot. To affect the cancelation, the Supervisor of Elections will provide notice to voters including mailed notice to affected electors receiving a mail ballot, as well as posted notice at the affected polling place (Precinct 102) and early voting locations and in each voting booth. Any votes on the referendum will be invalid and will not be part of the unofficial or official election results.
