She explained that by statute, recreational vehicle (RV) parks must be treated dissimilarly to other hotel/motel commercial type properties and that was why they assigned a square footage and charged at the Residential rate. She also explained 95% of Fire Assessment programs in the State of Florida use thel Historical Demand Methodology which was easy for property owners to understand. She highlighted there were four primary data components thatt they looked at when they were conducting their study.

She saidt thats staff recommended that they keep the Residential at $300 so there would be no change andt that Commercial would gof from $0.30t to $0.37 per square foot which was based ont thei increased demand, then the Industrial Warehouse would go up $0.02 per square foot, from $0.03 per square foot to $0.05 per square foota andt that the Institutional would decrease -$0.22 asi it was demanding less. She explained that the reason that they could keep ther residential at $300 and stillf fund more net money tot the City was that the buy-down had decreased to $0.22 per square foot which would putr morer net moneyi into Margate's bucket. COMMISSIONER. ARSERIO questioned how often they didt the rate studies.

MAYOR RUZZANO referenced the Institutional and questioned if AA was recommending AA ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, NEUBARTH saidt thati ift the City was going tol keep Residential at $300, Institutional would havet to go $0.47. She read through the dates for the Critical Events Schedule and advised that the exemptions would be a policy decision COMMISSIONER. ARSERIO thanked Ms. Neubarth for the breakdown.
