WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.065 --> 00:00:01.405
Uh, I'm going to ask you to rise

2
00:00:01.405 --> 00:00:02.965
and join us in the Pledge of Allegiance,

3
00:00:02.965 --> 00:00:04.005
and also a moment of silence.

4
00:00:04.705 --> 00:00:07.965
Uh, I just thought real quick, reflection on this day, uh,

5
00:00:08.335 --> 00:00:11.445
44 in 1944 today in memory

6
00:00:11.445 --> 00:00:13.445
that many showed great courage

7
00:00:13.905 --> 00:00:15.765
and sacrifice, uh, for our nation.

8
00:00:16.305 --> 00:00:19.285
Uh, and there have been many in that tradition since then.

9
00:00:19.365 --> 00:00:20.805
I would hope that you'll remember them

10
00:00:20.825 --> 00:00:23.405
and all, uh, all who have served, uh,

11
00:00:23.505 --> 00:00:24.805
in your, your reflection.

12
00:00:25.115 --> 00:00:26.645
With that, if you please rise,

13
00:00:26.825 --> 00:00:28.845
I'm gonna ask Supervisor Coleman

14
00:00:29.185 --> 00:00:30.805
to lead us in the pledge allegiance.

15
00:00:32.045 --> 00:00:33.045
I pledge allegiance.

16
00:00:49.655 --> 00:00:50.965
Thank you. Please be seated.

17
00:00:54.425 --> 00:00:56.205
I'd like to, I'd like

18
00:00:56.205 --> 00:00:57.845
to welcome all of you who are here today.

19
00:00:58.505 --> 00:01:02.725
Uh, we have an extremely, uh, full agenda,

20
00:01:03.345 --> 00:01:05.725
uh, probably as full as I've seen in a long time,

21
00:01:06.185 --> 00:01:07.525
and we're gonna try to move

22
00:01:07.525 --> 00:01:08.845
through it as quickly as possible.

23
00:01:09.025 --> 00:01:11.565
So I'll apologize to my colleague, staff

24
00:01:11.625 --> 00:01:14.525
and to any members of the audience if I'm more officious

25
00:01:14.585 --> 00:01:17.165
and, uh, less loquacious and, and usual.

26
00:01:17.905 --> 00:01:21.125
Uh, and the first item on our agenda, uh,

27
00:01:21.125 --> 00:01:22.405
would be the approval of the minutes.

28
00:01:22.405 --> 00:01:25.645
Everybody's had a copy to take a or a chance to look at 'em.

29
00:01:25.645 --> 00:01:28.205
Any additions or corrections to the minutes? Hearing?

30
00:01:28.205 --> 00:01:31.045
Seeing none, a motion to approve would be an order I motion.

31
00:01:31.185 --> 00:01:33.405
We approve the minutes. Is there support? Second.

32
00:01:33.625 --> 00:01:38.365
All in favor? Aye. Aye. A stand as, uh, provided. Okay.

33
00:01:38.465 --> 00:01:42.445
We have today, uh, the, uh, uh, the duty

34
00:01:42.625 --> 00:01:47.325
to fill an open position on, uh, our board, uh,

35
00:01:47.465 --> 00:01:52.165
for the seat vacated, uh, by former Supervisor Moeller.

36
00:01:52.385 --> 00:01:57.245
Um, the process that we will follow is consistent with, uh,

37
00:01:57.675 --> 00:02:01.765
section one three, uh, 0.3 of our,

38
00:02:02.505 --> 00:02:05.245
of our, uh, operating,

39
00:02:05.385 --> 00:02:08.165
um, policies.

40
00:02:08.785 --> 00:02:09.845
Uh, it should be noted

41
00:02:09.845 --> 00:02:13.365
that our policies are in strictest compliance with, uh,

42
00:02:13.755 --> 00:02:15.965
chapter one 90, chapter one 20

43
00:02:16.625 --> 00:02:20.845
and chapter 1 26, uh, of the Florida statutes.

44
00:02:21.265 --> 00:02:25.005
Uh, and also that, uh, the requirements of the, uh,

45
00:02:25.285 --> 00:02:29.805
sunshine provisions of the state, uh, law, uh, prohibits,

46
00:02:29.825 --> 00:02:33.845
uh, any supervisors from talking, uh, in two

47
00:02:33.845 --> 00:02:34.845
or more groups of two

48
00:02:34.845 --> 00:02:38.085
or more about any items that on which we would, uh, vote.

49
00:02:38.345 --> 00:02:41.565
And, uh, uh, I will ask, uh,

50
00:02:41.795 --> 00:02:46.075
have any supervisors had any, uh, discussion with our,

51
00:02:46.215 --> 00:02:48.675
our counterparts on this matter?

52
00:02:49.175 --> 00:02:51.835
Seeing none, we'll assume that we're in total compliance

53
00:02:51.915 --> 00:02:53.075
with the sunshine laws.

54
00:02:53.855 --> 00:02:58.475
Um, we have, uh, five candidates, uh, uh, who have applied

55
00:02:58.475 --> 00:03:01.325
for the open position, uh, which creates both a,

56
00:03:01.345 --> 00:03:04.925
an interesting, and I guess, both a, a great opportunity

57
00:03:05.025 --> 00:03:06.445
and, and a difficult decision.

58
00:03:07.105 --> 00:03:10.965
Uh, we have five, um, correct,

59
00:03:11.945 --> 00:03:13.285
That's correct, five Candidates.

60
00:03:13.625 --> 00:03:18.125
Um, because, uh, deciding on, on, on who

61
00:03:18.125 --> 00:03:20.725
to select out of a group of very, very qualified.

62
00:03:21.105 --> 00:03:24.605
I'd like to thank them for taking the time, the effort, uh,

63
00:03:24.625 --> 00:03:29.445
and the energy to, uh, uh, seek this, this position.

64
00:03:29.905 --> 00:03:32.645
Uh, just so all of you know, um, the, uh,

65
00:03:32.705 --> 00:03:34.045
we have had a chance, uh,

66
00:03:34.045 --> 00:03:35.845
and we've had copies of the information

67
00:03:35.845 --> 00:03:36.885
that you provided to us.

68
00:03:36.885 --> 00:03:38.205
We've had a chance to study it.

69
00:03:38.585 --> 00:03:42.325
Uh, and, uh, there will be, uh, uh, possibly some questions

70
00:03:42.325 --> 00:03:44.325
that we'll have for any or all of you shortly.

71
00:03:45.065 --> 00:03:48.485
Um, we thought that we would start by allowing each

72
00:03:48.585 --> 00:03:50.965
of the candidates up to three minutes if they choose

73
00:03:51.025 --> 00:03:55.365
to really, to, uh, give us a, a brief, brief overview.

74
00:03:55.985 --> 00:03:59.485
Um, perhaps touching on, uh, a couple of key items.

75
00:03:59.785 --> 00:04:03.085
Uh, maybe, uh, if you're selected as a member of this board,

76
00:04:03.555 --> 00:04:06.325
what would be your number one priority on the things

77
00:04:06.325 --> 00:04:07.725
that you would be taking a look at?

78
00:04:08.305 --> 00:04:10.245
Uh, secondly, perhaps the, uh,

79
00:04:10.245 --> 00:04:14.205
what you feel is the strongest, uh, experience

80
00:04:14.225 --> 00:04:16.565
or attribute that you would bring to, uh,

81
00:04:16.565 --> 00:04:18.445
help this board do, uh, do the work.

82
00:04:19.105 --> 00:04:23.285
And, uh, another interesting question is what, uh, uh, items

83
00:04:23.865 --> 00:04:26.205
you, uh, or why you happen to choose to,

84
00:04:26.205 --> 00:04:27.325
to move to the villages.

85
00:04:27.825 --> 00:04:30.285
Um, I think though all those items would be,

86
00:04:30.385 --> 00:04:32.085
uh, interesting to us.

87
00:04:32.225 --> 00:04:35.685
In addition to the background information that you have,

88
00:04:35.745 --> 00:04:36.845
uh, provided with us.

89
00:04:37.385 --> 00:04:40.405
Um, everybody should be aware that, uh, I indicated

90
00:04:40.425 --> 00:04:42.805
before the meeting, uh, the order to which

91
00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:45.245
to speak is always one that comes up for question.

92
00:04:45.585 --> 00:04:49.725
So each of the candidates have randomly selected, uh,

93
00:04:50.025 --> 00:04:54.245
and we will proceed in that, uh, uh, uh, process

94
00:04:54.425 --> 00:04:57.005
or in that order for you to address this.

95
00:04:57.065 --> 00:04:59.365
And then, uh, state anything that you,

96
00:04:59.385 --> 00:05:00.405
uh, would like us to know.

97
00:05:01.105 --> 00:05:02.965
So I have no idea who's number one.

98
00:05:05.425 --> 00:05:10.265
Somebody has number one. Katie has number one.

99
00:05:10.335 --> 00:05:12.905
Okay, Katie, please. I don't think it works that way.

100
00:05:12.905 --> 00:05:14.065
Obviously one of our candidates

101
00:05:14.065 --> 00:05:15.145
in here, so we'll move, right.

102
00:05:15.165 --> 00:05:18.345
Moving along quickly, uh, number two,

103
00:05:20.205 --> 00:05:23.345
please, if you would step to the, uh, uh, uh, microphone,

104
00:05:23.345 --> 00:05:25.665
give us your name, your address,

105
00:05:26.005 --> 00:05:29.025
and, uh, we're welcome you, I'm anxious to hear from you.

106
00:05:29.955 --> 00:05:32.665
Thank you so much. I'm Randy Weiss. Welcome, Randy.

107
00:05:32.885 --> 00:05:36.305
And I live in Caroline, uh, 1192

108
00:05:37.025 --> 00:05:38.305
Thompson Avenue in Caroline.

109
00:05:38.725 --> 00:05:41.625
And, uh, the best place to live, by the way.

110
00:05:42.125 --> 00:05:46.265
Um, anyway, um, I would like to be part of this

111
00:05:46.265 --> 00:05:48.425
because I've got experience relating

112
00:05:48.425 --> 00:05:49.985
to this type thing with the company.

113
00:05:50.105 --> 00:05:52.225
I was with a Berkshire Hathaway company

114
00:05:52.225 --> 00:05:53.265
called Pampered Chef.

115
00:05:53.805 --> 00:05:55.305
Um, I was 30 years with them,

116
00:05:55.405 --> 00:05:58.605
and I was on the long range planning committee for them, uh,

117
00:05:58.605 --> 00:06:00.525
which was a, um, a chosen

118
00:06:01.385 --> 00:06:03.645
and a chosen, uh, position too.

119
00:06:04.225 --> 00:06:06.445
Um, I came to the Villages.

120
00:06:06.565 --> 00:06:08.805
I had no idea I'd ever end up in Florida.

121
00:06:09.785 --> 00:06:11.245
Um, it's probably the least place,

122
00:06:11.545 --> 00:06:12.565
but I don't live in Florida.

123
00:06:12.685 --> 00:06:15.365
I live in the villages, uh, is what I always say,

124
00:06:15.595 --> 00:06:18.005
because this place is so beautifully unique.

125
00:06:18.565 --> 00:06:21.205
A friend of ours introduced it to us, um,

126
00:06:22.005 --> 00:06:24.485
probably five years ago, and we were blown away.

127
00:06:25.065 --> 00:06:28.325
Uh, but, you know, I'm from the show me state of Missouri,

128
00:06:28.945 --> 00:06:32.165
so we had to be proven how wonderful this place was.

129
00:06:32.165 --> 00:06:35.805
So we came down probably four or five years and rented

130
00:06:35.805 --> 00:06:37.685
before we decided to come here.

131
00:06:39.185 --> 00:06:41.285
Um, and then we chose

132
00:06:41.285 --> 00:06:43.245
to live in the best place near Sumter Landing,

133
00:06:43.275 --> 00:06:44.845
according to what we thought.

134
00:06:45.385 --> 00:06:49.785
Um, one of the reasons that

135
00:06:50.425 --> 00:06:54.225
I think I would be good for this position is I,

136
00:06:54.975 --> 00:06:56.505
like I said, I've been coming a long time,

137
00:06:56.525 --> 00:06:59.425
but at the same time, I'm very interested in everything

138
00:06:59.965 --> 00:07:01.025
to do with the villages.

139
00:07:01.085 --> 00:07:02.185
My husband is Bill.

140
00:07:02.565 --> 00:07:04.785
Uh, we've been going to everything we love.

141
00:07:04.785 --> 00:07:07.145
We went to Resident Academy to learn.

142
00:07:07.665 --> 00:07:10.545
I actually went to arc, um, for approval,

143
00:07:10.765 --> 00:07:12.065
but I also went to learn.

144
00:07:12.805 --> 00:07:15.825
We go to the water. We went to the water, um, presentation,

145
00:07:15.885 --> 00:07:18.545
the landscaping presentation, everything related to

146
00:07:19.485 --> 00:07:22.065
the villages, um, to learn.

147
00:07:22.245 --> 00:07:23.745
And we continue to do that too.

148
00:07:23.965 --> 00:07:26.505
So I think that I would be a good candidate

149
00:07:26.505 --> 00:07:28.745
because I have an interest in all aspects.

150
00:07:28.845 --> 00:07:33.625
And I think in terms of the, um, uh,

151
00:07:33.695 --> 00:07:36.145
what to do first, I think, you know, to get

152
00:07:36.145 --> 00:07:39.745
to know people more in, in our community, district six, um,

153
00:07:40.125 --> 00:07:41.865
you know, it's a very large area

154
00:07:42.285 --> 00:07:45.385
and we've already been participating in our neighbor things,

155
00:07:45.445 --> 00:07:46.665
but I would like to extend it

156
00:07:46.765 --> 00:07:49.145
and go to some other neighborhood events

157
00:07:49.165 --> 00:07:51.065
and such, so I could learn more about the,

158
00:07:51.445 --> 00:07:52.905
uh, specifics to an area.

159
00:07:53.405 --> 00:07:56.265
I'm an idea person and I'm a question person, both.

160
00:07:56.865 --> 00:07:59.665
I have a lot of ideas that a lot of people don't think of.

161
00:08:00.205 --> 00:08:03.425
Um, and I also ask a lot of questions, which is how I learn.

162
00:08:03.925 --> 00:08:06.625
So I think that that's an asset, um,

163
00:08:06.965 --> 00:08:11.625
that's very strong in my, um, um, you know,

164
00:08:11.845 --> 00:08:12.985
as me, as a person.

165
00:08:13.505 --> 00:08:14.905
I have a, I'm a very good listener,

166
00:08:15.045 --> 00:08:17.265
and I think of things out of the box.

167
00:08:17.405 --> 00:08:19.505
So I'm gonna bring some things to the table

168
00:08:19.535 --> 00:08:21.345
that maybe haven't been thought about.

169
00:08:21.885 --> 00:08:25.545
And, uh, I'm excited about that opportunity.

170
00:08:26.365 --> 00:08:30.985
Um, let's see, one minute. Okay.

171
00:08:31.485 --> 00:08:36.105
Um, um, um,

172
00:08:36.325 --> 00:08:37.385
in terms of budgeting,

173
00:08:37.465 --> 00:08:39.905
I was thinking about budgeting when you were talking

174
00:08:39.975 --> 00:08:41.185
last month about budgeting.

175
00:08:41.185 --> 00:08:44.585
And, and it was interesting to hear the group, uh,

176
00:08:44.625 --> 00:08:45.625
converse about it.

177
00:08:45.805 --> 00:08:47.185
And I learned a lot from that

178
00:08:47.485 --> 00:08:50.265
and realized that, you know, I'm gonna be my own person

179
00:08:50.325 --> 00:08:52.665
and have my own ideas related to something like that.

180
00:08:53.405 --> 00:08:56.725
And, um, you know, be a good part of that.

181
00:08:56.865 --> 00:08:59.925
I'm a team player, but I'm also independent thinking too.

182
00:09:00.185 --> 00:09:02.725
So I think you'll enjoy me. I'm fun.

183
00:09:02.925 --> 00:09:04.365
I put the fun into things,

184
00:09:04.455 --> 00:09:06.645
which I think everyone could use these days,

185
00:09:07.065 --> 00:09:08.245
but also the intellect

186
00:09:08.245 --> 00:09:12.245
and the heart are combined for me to, um, do my best.

187
00:09:13.985 --> 00:09:17.045
So, um, I've been on boards before with Annie's Hope

188
00:09:17.745 --> 00:09:22.205
and, um, um, another Carney's kids, both fundraising

189
00:09:22.625 --> 00:09:24.125
and such for the companies.

190
00:09:24.265 --> 00:09:26.645
Uh, we had lost a child. It's a big part of me.

191
00:09:27.185 --> 00:09:31.005
Um, and I think it makes me more, um,

192
00:09:31.955 --> 00:09:33.285
understanding of people.

193
00:09:33.475 --> 00:09:36.165
I've gotten a lot of, uh, beautiful assets.

194
00:09:36.525 --> 00:09:38.525
I think from that quality, you know, what,

195
00:09:38.525 --> 00:09:41.285
what I have learned and learned to grow as a person,

196
00:09:41.615 --> 00:09:43.285
which will, again, help this committee.

197
00:09:44.145 --> 00:09:47.325
So, um, you know, I'm new here in a sense, a year

198
00:09:47.325 --> 00:09:48.645
and a half, I would say.

199
00:09:48.705 --> 00:09:52.445
But at the same time, um, I, I've learned a lot

200
00:09:52.445 --> 00:09:54.445
and know more than many people. Thank you. Thank

201
00:09:54.445 --> 00:09:55.445
You, Randy.

202
00:09:55.865 --> 00:09:58.965
Um, so did we have one can Oh, please.

203
00:09:59.305 --> 00:10:00.325
I'm just checking with staff.

204
00:10:00.345 --> 00:10:01.605
Did we have a candidate withdraw?

205
00:10:02.185 --> 00:10:04.485
We have a candidate that's not in attendance this morning.

206
00:10:04.835 --> 00:10:06.405
Okay. Um, we're

207
00:10:06.405 --> 00:10:09.565
Not aware of withdrawing, uh, Ms. Janet Palmer.

208
00:10:09.835 --> 00:10:10.125
Okay.

209
00:10:15.435 --> 00:10:16.765
Okay. Number three.

210
00:10:23.835 --> 00:10:25.885
Good morning. You just met Randy.

211
00:10:26.145 --> 00:10:28.765
Now you're gonna meet Randall. Randall Edgar.

212
00:10:29.685 --> 00:10:31.045
I also live in Caroline.

213
00:10:31.615 --> 00:10:36.285
We've been here for about 14 years.

214
00:10:36.865 --> 00:10:40.165
We came here in 2011 to live permanently.

215
00:10:40.745 --> 00:10:45.085
We bought the house in 2010. Little history with that.

216
00:10:45.625 --> 00:10:46.765
I'm from Pennsylvania.

217
00:10:47.515 --> 00:10:51.445
I've been in law enforcement for more than 25 years.

218
00:10:52.185 --> 00:10:54.725
Um, we got an invitation

219
00:10:55.065 --> 00:10:57.685
to try the lifestyle plan back in 2008.

220
00:10:57.825 --> 00:11:00.725
So we did enjoy the villages so much

221
00:11:00.725 --> 00:11:04.165
that my wife said a year later, Hey, let's go back down

222
00:11:04.165 --> 00:11:07.125
to the Villages and enjoy New Year's Eve.

223
00:11:08.175 --> 00:11:10.955
So that was 2009 into 2010.

224
00:11:11.425 --> 00:11:13.515
Well, little did I know that at the end

225
00:11:13.515 --> 00:11:15.955
of New Year's celebration here in the villages,

226
00:11:15.955 --> 00:11:18.835
that I would go home with a house, which I did.

227
00:11:19.535 --> 00:11:21.835
So we came here in 2011 permanently.

228
00:11:21.895 --> 00:11:26.155
It had been here ever since in, excuse me, Caroline.

229
00:11:26.575 --> 00:11:27.835
As I said, I have a little bit

230
00:11:27.835 --> 00:11:29.395
of background in law enforcement.

231
00:11:29.815 --> 00:11:34.355
Um, I'm currently working with Community Watch as a,

232
00:11:34.895 --> 00:11:36.915
uh, community watch training.

233
00:11:38.055 --> 00:11:41.395
And, um, I've been with Community Watch since 2013.

234
00:11:42.695 --> 00:11:46.235
Um, my whole career, my whole life basically has been

235
00:11:46.335 --> 00:11:50.315
to serve and protect the residents of where I live.

236
00:11:50.865 --> 00:11:53.845
Even when I came here working with Community Watch, part

237
00:11:53.845 --> 00:11:55.245
of my job was to serve.

238
00:11:56.205 --> 00:12:00.405
I feel it's only a natural step to move to

239
00:12:01.475 --> 00:12:04.925
wanting to serve in the, in a role

240
00:12:05.265 --> 00:12:09.885
of representation for the residents of Caroline

241
00:12:10.065 --> 00:12:13.485
and the other villages associated with District Six.

242
00:12:15.555 --> 00:12:17.125
What can I bring to the table?

243
00:12:19.145 --> 00:12:22.555
Well, basically, I'm going to bring an open mind,

244
00:12:23.735 --> 00:12:27.755
common sense, and a full understanding of rules, policies,

245
00:12:27.755 --> 00:12:28.835
and procedures,

246
00:12:29.295 --> 00:12:32.755
and my ability to communicate with the residents

247
00:12:32.855 --> 00:12:34.075
and people in general.

248
00:12:35.595 --> 00:12:39.755
I feel that my goal first, as far

249
00:12:39.775 --> 00:12:42.675
as if I am selected for this board,

250
00:12:43.295 --> 00:12:48.275
my first goal should be to listen and learn.

251
00:12:49.215 --> 00:12:52.915
And after that, I can make informed decisions.

252
00:12:57.535 --> 00:12:59.895
I would like to actually serve, continue

253
00:12:59.915 --> 00:13:01.175
to serve my residents,

254
00:13:01.235 --> 00:13:04.455
and serve the people of the villages in this capacity,

255
00:13:04.665 --> 00:13:07.615
which is why I took the time to do so.

256
00:13:08.495 --> 00:13:11.995
And I have really

257
00:13:12.665 --> 00:13:15.635
just always been this way for my entire life.

258
00:13:16.585 --> 00:13:21.115
Thank you very much. I'm Randall Edgar. Thank you, Randall.

259
00:13:21.865 --> 00:13:24.915
Okay. Uh, next up is number four.

260
00:13:31.185 --> 00:13:34.195
Good morning. My name is, uh, John O'Sullivan.

261
00:13:34.435 --> 00:13:38.995
I reside at 1226 Virginia Drive in the, uh,

262
00:13:38.995 --> 00:13:40.195
village of Virginia Trace.

263
00:13:41.015 --> 00:13:43.395
Um, okay.

264
00:13:44.195 --> 00:13:47.715
I, our story about how we came to the Villages was that the,

265
00:13:48.015 --> 00:13:49.555
we originally purchased a home in

266
00:13:49.565 --> 00:13:51.755
South Carolina in Aiken County.

267
00:13:51.985 --> 00:13:55.995
Nice town, beautiful Augusta. And we had it for two years.

268
00:13:56.505 --> 00:13:58.595
Used to visit from New York all the time.

269
00:13:59.215 --> 00:14:01.795
Um, really enjoyed it. Beautiful.

270
00:14:02.575 --> 00:14:05.595
But it was kind of limited in what it had there for us.

271
00:14:06.175 --> 00:14:08.515
Um, it had a lot of horse activities.

272
00:14:08.975 --> 00:14:12.515
Uh, when I enjoy it, it was just one activity, really

273
00:14:12.515 --> 00:14:13.795
that all, all it had.

274
00:14:13.855 --> 00:14:16.115
So, we decided to visit, visit the Villages.

275
00:14:16.945 --> 00:14:19.285
We immediately fell in love with the quality of life here.

276
00:14:19.785 --> 00:14:23.805
We were amazed at how well it was maintained.

277
00:14:24.705 --> 00:14:28.895
Um, we literally didn't see a piece of paper, uh,

278
00:14:28.985 --> 00:14:32.775
which was amazing till the kids from colleges, uh, visited

279
00:14:33.035 --> 00:14:34.935
and they were throwing things around carelessly.

280
00:14:35.635 --> 00:14:38.375
Um, what I would bring to the board is I,

281
00:14:38.575 --> 00:14:41.215
I worked in New York for 27, uh, 37 years.

282
00:14:41.695 --> 00:14:43.655
I, I worked in one BigMan place with, uh,

283
00:14:43.655 --> 00:14:45.775
the Rockefellers, the new Yorkes.

284
00:14:46.315 --> 00:14:50.095
Um, I was the main man in control

285
00:14:50.115 --> 00:14:51.565
of maintenance and everything else.

286
00:14:52.035 --> 00:14:54.805
When it came to the, the building back in 1987,

287
00:14:55.915 --> 00:14:58.245
then I moved on to managing two, um,

288
00:14:58.605 --> 00:15:00.645
high-end buildings in Manhattan.

289
00:15:00.825 --> 00:15:03.925
One is at Columbia, next to Columbia University.

290
00:15:04.465 --> 00:15:06.965
The building's actually called the Columbia 2 75

291
00:15:07.555 --> 00:15:08.725
West 96th Street.

292
00:15:09.525 --> 00:15:11.325
I worked for them for 27 years.

293
00:15:11.885 --> 00:15:13.365
I also had a second building.

294
00:15:13.425 --> 00:15:15.725
It was on the East side high end building.

295
00:15:16.425 --> 00:15:21.205
Um, and I worked at one West 64th Street at Central Park

296
00:15:21.205 --> 00:15:23.885
West with Mad Madonna of all people.

297
00:15:24.505 --> 00:15:29.385
And, uh, my job was to problem solve.

298
00:15:30.335 --> 00:15:33.425
That was my main objective. And there was a lot of problems.

299
00:15:34.005 --> 00:15:36.785
We were in older buildings, lots of old pipes, lots

300
00:15:36.785 --> 00:15:40.825
of old issues, lots of complaints, minimal complaints.

301
00:15:40.965 --> 00:15:43.225
Uh, some of the complaints were very minor.

302
00:15:43.575 --> 00:15:44.585
Some of them were large.

303
00:15:45.205 --> 00:15:48.985
My what My job was to correct everything that was an issue.

304
00:15:49.945 --> 00:15:52.945
I feel if I come on board, I will bring that experience.

305
00:15:53.745 --> 00:15:55.625
I like to keep things the quality.

306
00:15:56.255 --> 00:15:59.425
I've admired the board and I've snooped on your resumes.

307
00:15:59.645 --> 00:16:02.345
And I think that it's very enjoyable to see the quality

308
00:16:02.485 --> 00:16:03.705
that's up here on the board.

309
00:16:04.745 --> 00:16:07.465
I would like to bring same to the board.

310
00:16:07.585 --> 00:16:09.025
I would love to work with the board

311
00:16:09.445 --> 00:16:13.705
and learn from the board to see what's actually required

312
00:16:14.325 --> 00:16:16.865
to create what you guys have created and keep it up.

313
00:16:17.335 --> 00:16:19.105
Budgeting. Another thing I would like

314
00:16:19.105 --> 00:16:21.025
to keep an eye on the budgeting model trails.

315
00:16:21.125 --> 00:16:23.905
I'm a people person. I like to problem solve.

316
00:16:24.405 --> 00:16:26.865
So basically, that's it. The other thing is we've, we've,

317
00:16:27.075 --> 00:16:29.065
we've gone to almost all of the meetings,

318
00:16:29.515 --> 00:16:31.425
which is extremely impressive.

319
00:16:31.995 --> 00:16:35.305
Thank you. Thank you. Okay.

320
00:16:36.005 --> 00:16:40.225
In our last candidate. Yes, sir.

321
00:16:40.575 --> 00:16:45.505
Welcome. Good morning. My name is Brian Gallagher.

322
00:16:45.545 --> 00:16:49.065
I live in, uh, Virginia Trace, 12 96 4 Sacred Drive.

323
00:16:49.325 --> 00:16:51.785
I'm very happy to be here with this group this morning.

324
00:16:52.235 --> 00:16:53.665
Thank you for accommodating

325
00:16:53.665 --> 00:16:55.225
and giving us some time to say a few words.

326
00:16:56.655 --> 00:16:58.115
Um, I'm here today

327
00:16:58.115 --> 00:16:59.915
because the neighbor suggested that I apply.

328
00:17:00.495 --> 00:17:03.115
And, uh, then I suggested I go down

329
00:17:03.115 --> 00:17:05.635
and talk to Sally Moss, who was formally on this board about

330
00:17:05.665 --> 00:17:07.915
what, what the work entailed and that kind of thing.

331
00:17:08.375 --> 00:17:11.755
So I filled out the, the, uh, application,

332
00:17:11.975 --> 00:17:14.515
and I have an update, a few updates for the application.

333
00:17:15.055 --> 00:17:17.315
Um, I had been here so recently, we had

334
00:17:17.315 --> 00:17:18.635
so many renovations going on at the house

335
00:17:18.635 --> 00:17:20.195
that I wasn't able to attend meetings.

336
00:17:20.195 --> 00:17:23.435
So IWI went to new resident orientation,

337
00:17:23.925 --> 00:17:26.675
found it very interesting and, and informative.

338
00:17:26.675 --> 00:17:29.635
And I also went to the District nine meetings yesterday,

339
00:17:29.925 --> 00:17:31.515
which were extremely interesting

340
00:17:31.515 --> 00:17:33.995
and informative, particularly the discussion about some

341
00:17:33.995 --> 00:17:35.315
of the updates of things that they're doing

342
00:17:35.335 --> 00:17:37.435
and reserves and that type of thing.

343
00:17:39.415 --> 00:17:43.955
Um, by way of background, I'm a pharmacist

344
00:17:43.955 --> 00:17:45.035
and attorney by training.

345
00:17:45.655 --> 00:17:48.275
And, uh, my mother, the Irish wit, when people would ask her

346
00:17:48.275 --> 00:17:50.205
what I did for a living, and she didn't particularly want

347
00:17:50.205 --> 00:17:52.125
to talk to them, she'd say he's involved

348
00:17:52.125 --> 00:17:53.125
with drugs in the law,

349
00:17:53.745 --> 00:17:55.965
and that usually killed the conversation instantaneously.

350
00:17:56.785 --> 00:17:58.765
But I'm pretty much of a utility infielder.

351
00:17:58.765 --> 00:18:00.205
I've had a lot of different experiences.

352
00:18:00.825 --> 00:18:05.045
Um, what probably most relevant is I was chair

353
00:18:05.045 --> 00:18:07.045
of the Huntington Planning Commission for about six years.

354
00:18:07.165 --> 00:18:10.765
I was on the Planning Commission for, uh, 10 years total.

355
00:18:11.005 --> 00:18:12.805
I was also in the West Virginia legislature

356
00:18:12.805 --> 00:18:14.165
and chaired a number of committees there.

357
00:18:14.475 --> 00:18:16.685
General counsel for several organizations.

358
00:18:17.145 --> 00:18:19.845
And I was interim dean of the pharmacy school, at

359
00:18:19.985 --> 00:18:21.485
and on the faculty of the pharmacy, school

360
00:18:21.505 --> 00:18:23.325
and medical school at Marcy University,

361
00:18:23.605 --> 00:18:25.045
teaching Law and Ethics.

362
00:18:26.945 --> 00:18:31.875
Uh, my number one

363
00:18:32.195 --> 00:18:34.795
priority would be, first, seek to understand.

364
00:18:35.575 --> 00:18:37.035
You guys have a wealth of experience,

365
00:18:37.035 --> 00:18:38.355
and a lot of, you've been on here for a long time.

366
00:18:38.355 --> 00:18:41.395
And talking with Sally, I realize there's a lot for me

367
00:18:41.395 --> 00:18:44.275
to learn a lot of transferrable skills.

368
00:18:44.375 --> 00:18:45.715
But first, seek to understand,

369
00:18:46.185 --> 00:18:48.275
keep things on a sound financial footing.

370
00:18:48.305 --> 00:18:51.395
Like I said, I found the, the, uh, discussion yesterday,

371
00:18:51.465 --> 00:18:54.995
very interesting about the reserves

372
00:18:54.995 --> 00:18:58.515
and whether to spend money outta reserves for active, uh,

373
00:18:58.825 --> 00:19:03.275
ongoing projects or whether to, uh, return money and,

374
00:19:03.335 --> 00:19:05.155
and not make it big as big of an assessment.

375
00:19:05.265 --> 00:19:07.955
It's a very interesting discussion amongst other things.

376
00:19:09.015 --> 00:19:10.195
Why did we move to the villages?

377
00:19:10.195 --> 00:19:12.475
Well, we did our due diligence and went around

378
00:19:12.475 --> 00:19:15.115
and found out that there was a lot of nice places to come

379
00:19:15.115 --> 00:19:17.035
and visit in Florida, and went to seven or eight places.

380
00:19:17.375 --> 00:19:19.395
And this was head and shoulders above everything else.

381
00:19:19.855 --> 00:19:22.075
And I like to be busy, and I don't like to be bored.

382
00:19:22.075 --> 00:19:24.155
And you're not gonna be bored here if you do, if you are,

383
00:19:24.155 --> 00:19:26.435
there's something wrong with you, not with this place.

384
00:19:27.175 --> 00:19:30.715
So, uh, I'd like to, why, what do I bring?

385
00:19:31.075 --> 00:19:33.315
I think I've got a wealth of experience.

386
00:19:33.665 --> 00:19:36.315
Malcolm Gladwell says the only way you get good at anything

387
00:19:36.315 --> 00:19:38.275
is to do it for 10,000 hours.

388
00:19:38.695 --> 00:19:41.315
The only thing I've done for 10,000 hours is tie a tie.

389
00:19:41.315 --> 00:19:43.635
And I'm glad that's not a prerequisite for this position.

390
00:19:44.215 --> 00:19:47.955
So I, I, what I would seek to do is fill in gaps

391
00:19:47.985 --> 00:19:51.875
that people have in this, in this, uh, that you,

392
00:19:52.075 --> 00:19:55.415
I might be able to, uh, supplement what the group has.

393
00:19:55.795 --> 00:19:57.215
And in closing, I'd like to say,

394
00:19:57.935 --> 00:20:00.095
I think you all are in a really good place with a group

395
00:20:00.095 --> 00:20:01.295
of candidates that you've got.

396
00:20:01.415 --> 00:20:02.895
I think listening to everybody,

397
00:20:02.935 --> 00:20:04.535
I think everybody would make a good candidate.

398
00:20:04.605 --> 00:20:07.615
Like I used to tell my students, um,

399
00:20:08.195 --> 00:20:09.615
you can't make a bad choice here.

400
00:20:10.255 --> 00:20:12.695
I don't think so. I appreciate your consideration.

401
00:20:14.065 --> 00:20:17.335
Thank you. Okay. That's all of our candidates, I believe.

402
00:20:18.315 --> 00:20:21.175
Um, wow.

403
00:20:22.525 --> 00:20:23.565
I dunno whether to thank you

404
00:20:23.625 --> 00:20:26.805
or not for making this a difficult job at this point.

405
00:20:27.305 --> 00:20:29.405
Um, supervisors, um,

406
00:20:30.225 --> 00:20:32.405
if you have any specific questions you would like to,

407
00:20:32.425 --> 00:20:33.845
to ask, please go ahead.

408
00:20:34.355 --> 00:20:35.445
Well, if I May 1st,

409
00:20:35.465 --> 00:20:37.925
before I ask questions, is, is very impressive

410
00:20:38.025 --> 00:20:39.965
to hear the four candidates

411
00:20:40.025 --> 00:20:42.125
and to hear their, uh, backgrounds

412
00:20:42.305 --> 00:20:43.445
and what they've accomplished.

413
00:20:43.685 --> 00:20:46.525
I think that it speaks loud to District six

414
00:20:46.545 --> 00:20:50.445
and the leadership, John, of District six, uh, this past

415
00:20:50.445 --> 00:20:52.565
that they're so eager to be on the board.

416
00:20:52.705 --> 00:20:54.485
So that's just first my comment.

417
00:21:01.235 --> 00:21:03.285
Okay. Do you have any specific questions?

418
00:21:04.345 --> 00:21:09.325
Um, sure. If it, if they are question for all of them,

419
00:21:09.915 --> 00:21:12.845
then why don't we reverse the order in which you, uh,

420
00:21:12.905 --> 00:21:14.005
you gave your answers.

421
00:21:14.585 --> 00:21:16.725
Um, if specifically for you,

422
00:21:16.725 --> 00:21:19.725
please step the microphone again, uh,

423
00:21:19.825 --> 00:21:23.245
and the question for the respective supervisors.

424
00:21:23.295 --> 00:21:24.325
Thank you. Go ahead.

425
00:21:24.495 --> 00:21:26.405
Great. Thank you. Thank you, chairman John.

426
00:21:27.025 --> 00:21:29.845
Um, one of my favorite committees here is the Project

427
00:21:30.075 --> 00:21:31.405
Wide Advisory Board.

428
00:21:32.025 --> 00:21:34.685
And that meets, as everybody knows, the second Monday

429
00:21:35.065 --> 00:21:36.925
of the, um, month.

430
00:21:37.345 --> 00:21:38.965
I'd like to ask the candidates, um,

431
00:21:40.305 --> 00:21:43.085
if they've attended number one PA

432
00:21:43.305 --> 00:21:45.805
and then number two, uh, how do they think

433
00:21:45.805 --> 00:21:48.245
that PA could be improved as a group?

434
00:21:52.135 --> 00:21:56.045
Right. Thank you.

435
00:21:56.165 --> 00:21:57.645
I have not attended the meeting yesterday,

436
00:21:57.705 --> 00:22:00.885
but I've not attended the meeting of PAC specifically,

437
00:22:00.905 --> 00:22:04.645
but I did have the opportunity to listen in on what, on how

438
00:22:04.645 --> 00:22:06.165
that process works.

439
00:22:06.505 --> 00:22:10.525
And also the interaction yesterday, like for trying to

440
00:22:11.115 --> 00:22:13.605
make sure that things got passed by several different, um,

441
00:22:14.395 --> 00:22:15.605
several different, uh,

442
00:22:15.625 --> 00:22:18.205
or all of the districts that are affected by Pew A and,

443
00:22:18.345 --> 00:22:19.405
and are members of Pew A.

444
00:22:19.585 --> 00:22:21.285
So, and how, how that works.

445
00:22:21.945 --> 00:22:24.365
So I, I think one of the things that's important, it's a,

446
00:22:24.395 --> 00:22:25.565
it's a real jewel.

447
00:22:25.905 --> 00:22:26.965
We had this problem with that

448
00:22:26.965 --> 00:22:28.125
Huntington Planning Commission.

449
00:22:28.555 --> 00:22:30.845
It's a real jewel to have people working in concerts so

450
00:22:30.845 --> 00:22:33.245
that you have uniformity throughout different places.

451
00:22:33.305 --> 00:22:35.205
And that it's important to make sure that you have

452
00:22:35.725 --> 00:22:39.445
adequate communication while not violating the Sunshine Law.

453
00:22:39.545 --> 00:22:42.285
So I would say it'd be important for people

454
00:22:42.345 --> 00:22:45.805
to attend other district meetings that are on District six

455
00:22:45.805 --> 00:22:47.405
and other district meetings and find out what,

456
00:22:47.655 --> 00:22:50.845
where their thinking is going in terms of different things

457
00:22:50.845 --> 00:22:51.925
so that you can anticipate

458
00:22:52.065 --> 00:22:55.045
and work together so that that process is not cumbersome

459
00:22:55.045 --> 00:22:57.885
or difficult and makes the staff's job a lot easier,

460
00:22:58.145 --> 00:23:00.805
rather than trying to cram something down your throat

461
00:23:00.825 --> 00:23:01.925
or another district's throat.

462
00:23:02.165 --> 00:23:04.525
'cause everybody else wants it. Communication would be all

463
00:23:04.525 --> 00:23:05.565
important to me, I think.

464
00:23:05.735 --> 00:23:06.685
Thank you, John.

465
00:23:11.445 --> 00:23:13.005
I have, uh, not actually, uh,

466
00:23:13.285 --> 00:23:14.405
attended one of those meetings.

467
00:23:14.445 --> 00:23:15.925
I have attended almost every other meeting

468
00:23:15.925 --> 00:23:19.005
that I could in the, between the time that I applied,

469
00:23:19.005 --> 00:23:20.045
because I applied late.

470
00:23:20.705 --> 00:23:24.485
Um, but I, I am a firm believer in, in, in the whole, uh,

471
00:23:24.625 --> 00:23:26.085
uh, P system.

472
00:23:26.705 --> 00:23:29.725
And, uh, other than that, I, I really couldn't ask, ask any,

473
00:23:30.105 --> 00:23:32.845
add any more to it other than that, I know it's there

474
00:23:32.985 --> 00:23:35.725
and I, I just haven't had the chance to attend the meetings.

475
00:23:38.495 --> 00:23:43.165
Ready. Oh, I'm sorry. Randall.

476
00:23:43.195 --> 00:23:45.605
Randall, I'm sorry. Sorry. Ran.

477
00:23:46.405 --> 00:23:48.405
I too have not attended PA meetings.

478
00:23:48.645 --> 00:23:51.605
I have learned a little bit about PA with talking with some

479
00:23:51.605 --> 00:23:54.325
of the people that I know that have been involved with PA.

480
00:23:54.905 --> 00:23:58.405
Uh, I think I am sort of on the fence as to whether

481
00:23:58.465 --> 00:24:02.645
or not PA would be a little more expedient on,

482
00:24:02.685 --> 00:24:05.805
a little more efficient if in fact they had some authority

483
00:24:06.055 --> 00:24:07.725
other than just to recommend

484
00:24:07.945 --> 00:24:10.405
and could actually make some decisions for

485
00:24:11.065 --> 00:24:13.645
the representation that they do for the district

486
00:24:13.645 --> 00:24:16.125
between the 4 66 and below.

487
00:24:16.825 --> 00:24:19.485
So that would be my thoughts on PA. Thank you.

488
00:24:20.875 --> 00:24:24.125
Okay. Okay.

489
00:24:27.395 --> 00:24:29.085
Okay. So when I think of PA,

490
00:24:29.345 --> 00:24:31.165
the best description is an octopus.

491
00:24:31.825 --> 00:24:34.045
And there's the body, and then there's the legs.

492
00:24:34.825 --> 00:24:36.045
And this is one of the legs.

493
00:24:37.025 --> 00:24:40.205
Um, and I think it's not till you all come together

494
00:24:40.775 --> 00:24:43.245
where you become the body where the growth

495
00:24:43.305 --> 00:24:44.885
and the learning is gonna take place.

496
00:24:45.585 --> 00:24:48.165
Mostly, uh, to hear what others are doing

497
00:24:48.185 --> 00:24:52.365
and such, so that you could improve our district six.

498
00:24:52.965 --> 00:24:54.325
I have not attended PA,

499
00:24:54.345 --> 00:24:56.485
but I'm looking forward to attending a meeting

500
00:24:56.505 --> 00:24:58.325
and being part of the meeting.

501
00:25:01.155 --> 00:25:01.445
Okay.

502
00:25:05.505 --> 00:25:06.165
Who have we missed?

503
00:25:06.165 --> 00:25:07.165
That's,

504
00:25:08.225 --> 00:25:09.225
Yes.

505
00:25:09.315 --> 00:25:11.085
Okay. Twe, any other questions?

506
00:25:11.585 --> 00:25:12.645
Um, yes. Thank you.

507
00:25:12.945 --> 00:25:15.445
Um, uh, to the, uh, candidates, uh,

508
00:25:15.445 --> 00:25:17.645
how are you involved in your community,

509
00:25:17.785 --> 00:25:19.165
uh, that you live in?

510
00:25:19.345 --> 00:25:20.765
Are you on any committees

511
00:25:20.865 --> 00:25:24.365
or any, any groups to enhance the villages?

512
00:25:27.015 --> 00:25:29.325
Randy or, yeah, Randy.

513
00:25:32.435 --> 00:25:35.445
Otherwise I'll get confused between 1, 2, 3, 4, and five.

514
00:25:36.105 --> 00:25:38.845
Um, socially I'm on a committee. I'm good at that.

515
00:25:39.225 --> 00:25:42.005
But in terms of, um, enhancements, the one thing

516
00:25:42.005 --> 00:25:45.525
that we're starting in our community is, um, helping

517
00:25:46.045 --> 00:25:47.245
neighbors, neighbors, helping neighbors.

518
00:25:47.305 --> 00:25:51.725
So I'm part of gonna be part of that group, um, soon.

519
00:25:52.385 --> 00:25:56.095
And, um, really, I don't know a lot

520
00:25:56.095 --> 00:25:58.735
of other things going on in the area

521
00:25:58.955 --> 00:26:00.495
so much related to that.

522
00:26:00.595 --> 00:26:03.535
But I will be part of it as I get here, you know,

523
00:26:03.535 --> 00:26:07.495
as I'm here longer and experience more of, um, the changes

524
00:26:07.755 --> 00:26:09.815
and positive improvements that are needed here.

525
00:26:18.685 --> 00:26:20.975
Okay. Uh, again, we just moved here in November.

526
00:26:21.115 --> 00:26:22.615
We are, we are basically moving in.

527
00:26:22.615 --> 00:26:25.135
We just had our furniture delivered last week.

528
00:26:25.795 --> 00:26:28.735
Uh, we are learning about new committees.

529
00:26:28.735 --> 00:26:30.535
We're learning about what's out there.

530
00:26:30.715 --> 00:26:32.415
We are attending as much as we can.

531
00:26:32.755 --> 00:26:36.895
Uh, in between the 6 million classes my wife has me doing on

532
00:26:36.895 --> 00:26:41.135
a daily basis, uh, we intend to become probably members

533
00:26:41.235 --> 00:26:44.365
of our local, um, I, I forget what the name

534
00:26:44.365 --> 00:26:47.245
of the committee is, but it, it helps older people, uh,

535
00:26:47.355 --> 00:26:48.885
take 'em to their doctor's appointments

536
00:26:48.885 --> 00:26:50.605
and stuff that we were just actually approached

537
00:26:50.605 --> 00:26:51.645
on the other day.

538
00:26:52.295 --> 00:26:54.085
Again, most of this stuff is new to us.

539
00:26:54.225 --> 00:26:56.925
Do we wanna get involved? 100%. That's why we're here.

540
00:26:57.775 --> 00:26:58.775
Thank you.

541
00:27:01.875 --> 00:27:06.405
Okay. As far

542
00:27:06.405 --> 00:27:08.845
as involvement with the community, yes, I do.

543
00:27:08.965 --> 00:27:10.125
I work for Community Watch.

544
00:27:10.345 --> 00:27:12.885
So I'm involved in not only my own district,

545
00:27:13.145 --> 00:27:15.725
but also every other district here in the villages within

546
00:27:15.785 --> 00:27:16.965
my own particular district.

547
00:27:17.035 --> 00:27:18.725
I'll just say to my neighborhood,

548
00:27:19.265 --> 00:27:21.125
we have a very close knit neighborhood.

549
00:27:21.255 --> 00:27:23.525
We're on one single street, Lockhart Avenue.

550
00:27:23.525 --> 00:27:24.565
There's 11 houses,

551
00:27:25.185 --> 00:27:28.005
and pretty much everybody knows everybody.

552
00:27:28.465 --> 00:27:30.925
And we do all kinds of things together with respect

553
00:27:30.925 --> 00:27:33.085
to the neighborhood, all kinds of driveway parties,

554
00:27:33.205 --> 00:27:34.325
neighborhood parties.

555
00:27:34.585 --> 00:27:37.605
Uh, I specifically watch a couple

556
00:27:37.665 --> 00:27:39.285
of different houses when a couple

557
00:27:39.285 --> 00:27:41.805
of our residents go north for the summers.

558
00:27:42.305 --> 00:27:45.165
So I try and stay involved with what's going on

559
00:27:45.665 --> 00:27:48.565
and, um, I get involved whenever I can.

560
00:27:48.855 --> 00:27:49.325
Thank you.

561
00:27:56.775 --> 00:27:59.085
Thank John. We're new to the Villages as well.

562
00:27:59.185 --> 00:28:01.285
He said he moved in DEC in November.

563
00:28:01.385 --> 00:28:03.605
We moved in December and we actually ran into them.

564
00:28:03.705 --> 00:28:07.085
So one of our social things we made, we made friends

565
00:28:07.105 --> 00:28:09.605
and started, we had a scared share a few beers.

566
00:28:09.605 --> 00:28:12.285
Does that qualify us as answers to the question socializing?

567
00:28:13.345 --> 00:28:17.325
That's right. Um, I have, I haven't had an opportunity

568
00:28:17.325 --> 00:28:19.165
to be involved too much, but I've tried

569
00:28:19.165 --> 00:28:20.205
to go to some social things.

570
00:28:20.205 --> 00:28:22.405
It was a, a, uh, celebration

571
00:28:22.405 --> 00:28:24.685
of Virginia Trace's anniversary, and I was at that.

572
00:28:24.685 --> 00:28:26.325
It was a lovely event. Um,

573
00:28:26.785 --> 00:28:30.045
and I've also been asked to potentially participate in,

574
00:28:30.395 --> 00:28:33.525
lend some legal skills to the seniors, um,

575
00:28:34.065 --> 00:28:35.205
who are getting scammed.

576
00:28:35.545 --> 00:28:39.325
So I'm, that's under consideration too. Okay.

577
00:28:40.845 --> 00:28:43.045
Twe, any other questions? I'll pass Gordon.

578
00:28:44.875 --> 00:28:47.805
Okay. Well, uh, you know,

579
00:28:47.805 --> 00:28:49.685
we're looking at broad general things here.

580
00:28:49.705 --> 00:28:51.045
Let take a look, see if the, uh,

581
00:29:00.305 --> 00:29:01.305
I have some questions,

582
00:29:01.365 --> 00:29:04.775
but my questions are, uh, I'm trying

583
00:29:04.775 --> 00:29:06.615
to find a broad question that you could,

584
00:29:06.675 --> 00:29:09.495
uh, talk about here.

585
00:29:10.315 --> 00:29:14.815
Um, let's just check one thing

586
00:29:14.835 --> 00:29:16.175
for, for how we do.

587
00:29:16.355 --> 00:29:21.135
Um, if you understand that

588
00:29:21.135 --> 00:29:25.255
as you see your budget every year as it comes by, the thing

589
00:29:25.255 --> 00:29:28.215
that we have control over is our maintenance assessment.

590
00:29:29.595 --> 00:29:33.855
And yet, uh, a lot of the, uh, functions

591
00:29:33.855 --> 00:29:36.855
that you see going around the villages are paid

592
00:29:36.855 --> 00:29:38.175
by your amenity fees.

593
00:29:39.945 --> 00:29:43.805
Uh, now this, uh, chairman will have to answer this.

594
00:29:43.805 --> 00:29:47.165
Would it be, can you explain to me what the difference

595
00:29:47.165 --> 00:29:48.205
between those two are?

596
00:29:50.115 --> 00:29:51.855
Is that too in depth of a question?

597
00:29:53.805 --> 00:29:55.965
I think give, give the candidates a chance

598
00:29:55.985 --> 00:29:57.045
to, uh, to address it.

599
00:29:57.235 --> 00:29:58.965
Okay. I mean, right.

600
00:30:05.085 --> 00:30:08.765
I will do my best, um, amenity fees.

601
00:30:09.635 --> 00:30:12.165
This, this body doesn't have very much control over.

602
00:30:13.085 --> 00:30:16.045
'cause the increase amenity fees is based on the, uh,

603
00:30:16.965 --> 00:30:19.005
consumer price index.

604
00:30:19.625 --> 00:30:23.005
And it goes up or down depending on what, what that is.

605
00:30:23.705 --> 00:30:28.085
And, uh, my understanding is the bond, the bonds,

606
00:30:28.505 --> 00:30:30.485
uh, put in the infrastructure, the board

607
00:30:30.485 --> 00:30:34.245
of supervisors then keep this infrastructure in place

608
00:30:34.345 --> 00:30:36.405
and up to date through ma through the maintenance fees.

609
00:30:36.745 --> 00:30:38.645
So other things like community watch

610
00:30:38.645 --> 00:30:40.045
and that kind of thing are, are,

611
00:30:40.465 --> 00:30:41.925
and keeping up the post offices

612
00:30:42.105 --> 00:30:45.245
and those type of things are come out of the amenity fees.

613
00:30:45.395 --> 00:30:49.005
Whereas the other, the other things like, uh, uh,

614
00:30:50.455 --> 00:30:55.045
water retention, uh, rights of way landscape,

615
00:30:55.245 --> 00:30:56.245
escaping street lights,

616
00:30:56.495 --> 00:30:57.965
those come outta the maintenance fees.

617
00:30:57.965 --> 00:30:59.685
That's my understanding of why this works.

618
00:31:00.185 --> 00:31:04.565
And I would add something else that it's, this, this is a,

619
00:31:05.425 --> 00:31:06.725
you all have a really tough job

620
00:31:07.035 --> 00:31:10.565
because as, as Supreme Court Justice in West Virginia,

621
00:31:10.565 --> 00:31:13.685
where I'm from once said about being in the legislature,

622
00:31:13.705 --> 00:31:15.125
he had been a former legislator.

623
00:31:15.145 --> 00:31:18.795
He said, this is a, this is a difficult job.

624
00:31:19.075 --> 00:31:20.915
'cause you're almost never called upon to choose

625
00:31:20.915 --> 00:31:21.955
between right and wrong.

626
00:31:23.255 --> 00:31:25.155
You're almost always choose called upon

627
00:31:25.155 --> 00:31:26.355
to choose between right and right.

628
00:31:27.175 --> 00:31:29.635
So do we spend money on this or do we spend money on that?

629
00:31:30.305 --> 00:31:32.675
It's a very difficult job and a balancing act,

630
00:31:32.675 --> 00:31:34.915
and you're never gonna please everybody with what you try

631
00:31:34.915 --> 00:31:37.275
to do, but try to do the best you can to please

632
00:31:37.295 --> 00:31:39.555
as many people and make the money go as far as it can.

633
00:31:45.565 --> 00:31:48.705
As far as I know, the I amenity fees are for your, uh,

634
00:31:48.725 --> 00:31:51.825
tennis courts, your use of the pools and the,

635
00:31:51.905 --> 00:31:53.025
and the, and these areas.

636
00:31:53.725 --> 00:31:58.185
Um, the rec centers, um, your maintenance fees are basically

637
00:31:58.765 --> 00:32:01.505
to maintain the pro, the, the properties themselves, the,

638
00:32:01.565 --> 00:32:04.145
the roads, the, uh, and the streets.

639
00:32:04.305 --> 00:32:07.025
I believe that we're, we're actually responsible for.

640
00:32:08.045 --> 00:32:09.185
That's the best of my knowledge.

641
00:32:18.595 --> 00:32:20.365
Well, I believe the other two candidates

642
00:32:20.365 --> 00:32:21.525
pretty well covered it.

643
00:32:21.875 --> 00:32:26.045
Amenities, golf poles, tennis racket,

644
00:32:26.045 --> 00:32:27.125
ball are biggie.

645
00:32:27.785 --> 00:32:30.765
And all the other amenities that we're privileged

646
00:32:30.785 --> 00:32:33.165
to have are coming out of our amenity fees.

647
00:32:33.905 --> 00:32:36.125
The maintenance fees obviously would be

648
00:32:36.185 --> 00:32:40.245
to support the infrastructure of the villages itself

649
00:32:40.785 --> 00:32:42.245
and within our district.

650
00:32:42.865 --> 00:32:46.365
So we have streetlights, light poles, um,

651
00:32:48.015 --> 00:32:51.685
sewer, water, et cetera, and landscaping.

652
00:32:51.685 --> 00:32:54.805
That has to be maintained. Thank you.

653
00:33:01.725 --> 00:33:03.565
I think this is a situation where, um,

654
00:33:03.745 --> 00:33:05.885
you guys covered a lot of it actually,

655
00:33:05.905 --> 00:33:08.445
but in terms of amenities, it's the fun stuff.

656
00:33:08.985 --> 00:33:13.005
Um, versus to me generally versus maintenance is, you know,

657
00:33:13.025 --> 00:33:15.005
the stuff that isn't as fun.

658
00:33:15.435 --> 00:33:17.045
I'll use that term. Um,

659
00:33:17.785 --> 00:33:20.285
and I have to admit, there's more for me to learn.

660
00:33:20.985 --> 00:33:23.085
And, uh, I am, I can admit that,

661
00:33:23.225 --> 00:33:27.335
but, um, I think that, um, it is a concern

662
00:33:27.485 --> 00:33:30.575
because at the last month meeting, I was seeing, you know,

663
00:33:30.575 --> 00:33:34.495
that we have to make sure that we're paying things, uh,

664
00:33:35.395 --> 00:33:36.895
you know, not, not get in the hole.

665
00:33:37.075 --> 00:33:39.935
So, um, it will be my honor

666
00:33:39.995 --> 00:33:42.175
and privilege to be part of that decision making.

667
00:33:45.545 --> 00:33:48.155
Yeah, just real thing I'd say about, the reason I ask

668
00:33:48.155 --> 00:33:51.315
that is, as a supervisor, when you get out there, uh,

669
00:33:51.375 --> 00:33:53.875
and you're in with our constituents, a lot

670
00:33:53.875 --> 00:33:55.515
of times they can't tell the difference.

671
00:33:56.255 --> 00:33:59.835
And that we're the representation of the village government

672
00:33:59.835 --> 00:34:01.675
to explain who we are or what we are

673
00:34:01.675 --> 00:34:04.035
and why we do what we do

674
00:34:04.175 --> 00:34:07.395
and what our limitations are con concerning,

675
00:34:07.575 --> 00:34:09.195
uh, what we could do.

676
00:34:09.195 --> 00:34:12.435
And normally, uh, a common responses, you're gonna have

677
00:34:12.675 --> 00:34:15.075
to talk to, uh, district government

678
00:34:15.705 --> 00:34:18.755
because a lot of that is in specialized in the specialist

679
00:34:18.755 --> 00:34:21.155
that you usually see around the wall over there

680
00:34:21.155 --> 00:34:23.795
that handled whatever their particular complaint is.

681
00:34:26.135 --> 00:34:28.475
Did Jeff, thank you.

682
00:34:28.555 --> 00:34:32.485
I think, um, between the information that you had

683
00:34:32.645 --> 00:34:36.605
provided us, uh, on a written basis, your comments today

684
00:34:37.065 --> 00:34:39.285
and the questions, I do have one question

685
00:34:39.285 --> 00:34:40.445
that I'd be curious about.

686
00:34:41.225 --> 00:34:42.225
Um,

687
00:34:44.975 --> 00:34:47.745
What If you had to say your neighbors

688
00:34:48.335 --> 00:34:52.995
have one major concern that could be addressed

689
00:34:53.175 --> 00:34:57.715
by your community development district, what would that be?

690
00:35:01.405 --> 00:35:03.635
Randy, you get to kick that one off.

691
00:35:07.295 --> 00:35:10.795
Um, I think the one thing, it's a general concern,

692
00:35:10.895 --> 00:35:14.875
but just to make sure that we continue in the way

693
00:35:14.875 --> 00:35:17.915
that we've been continuing in terms of taking care

694
00:35:17.915 --> 00:35:19.435
of properties, et cetera.

695
00:35:19.915 --> 00:35:21.915
I guess I would say I think of, uh,

696
00:35:21.915 --> 00:35:23.115
some of the negative comments.

697
00:35:23.275 --> 00:35:25.915
I watch it a lot on Facebook, um,

698
00:35:26.655 --> 00:35:29.235
and it's interesting to see things change.

699
00:35:29.415 --> 00:35:31.555
And, you know, I think of Katie Bells

700
00:35:31.575 --> 00:35:33.115
as an example that I always hear about.

701
00:35:33.155 --> 00:35:34.595
I wasn't here during the time I was here,

702
00:35:34.695 --> 00:35:37.460
but, uh, people are always talking about something like

703
00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.120
that, and the villages aren't the same

704
00:35:39.665 --> 00:35:41.245
and it's not gonna stay the same.

705
00:35:42.025 --> 00:35:44.605
And, uh, I think it's keeping things, uh,

706
00:35:45.005 --> 00:35:49.735
progressing forward and moving forward at the same time as,

707
00:35:50.435 --> 00:35:54.455
um, as they, as they, um,

708
00:35:56.915 --> 00:35:59.255
you know, keep, they keep things very, very,

709
00:36:00.085 --> 00:36:01.495
keep things the way that they are,

710
00:36:01.495 --> 00:36:03.335
keep things progressing in a positive way,

711
00:36:03.535 --> 00:36:05.375
I guess is the main thing in terms

712
00:36:05.435 --> 00:36:09.175
of the establishment at the same time, um, the needs of the,

713
00:36:09.475 --> 00:36:13.255
um, of the people and such. Thank you,

714
00:36:13.685 --> 00:36:14.685
Chad.

715
00:36:19.415 --> 00:36:20.935
I feel that one of the major issues,

716
00:36:20.955 --> 00:36:23.695
and I'd read an article on the other day about the VHA

717
00:36:24.235 --> 00:36:27.495
and that was some, uh, they were filing, uh,

718
00:36:27.495 --> 00:36:30.855
complaints against this 86-year-old lady, not this district,

719
00:36:31.795 --> 00:36:34.295
um, that she wasn't maintaining her property,

720
00:36:34.835 --> 00:36:37.615
but it, the biggest issue is

721
00:36:38.485 --> 00:36:41.335
elderly people can't, can't maintain their property.

722
00:36:41.455 --> 00:36:44.175
I, I, if I was to serve on the board, if it was within my

723
00:36:45.135 --> 00:36:49.175
reign, I would see if we could, uh, bring a group of, uh,

724
00:36:49.245 --> 00:36:53.575
high school kids or, um, charter kids, you know, that, that,

725
00:36:53.605 --> 00:36:55.735
that would volunteer to help the elderly.

726
00:36:56.635 --> 00:36:59.255
The second thing is, uh, in cutting their grass

727
00:36:59.275 --> 00:37:00.695
or pulling weeds or stuff like that,

728
00:37:00.695 --> 00:37:02.095
which would give them some sort of credit,

729
00:37:02.235 --> 00:37:03.255
you know, their high school.

730
00:37:04.075 --> 00:37:06.895
Second thing is, I think the big thing is that people,

731
00:37:07.285 --> 00:37:09.415
even in our district, they, people that moved in there,

732
00:37:09.465 --> 00:37:14.135
moved into, mostly in 2005, 2006 on 2005,

733
00:37:14.195 --> 00:37:18.535
2006 pensions and 2005, 2006, uh, social security.

734
00:37:18.885 --> 00:37:21.335
They want to make sure that the costs are kept

735
00:37:21.915 --> 00:37:23.055
within the range.

736
00:37:23.675 --> 00:37:25.295
And I think that's the biggest thing for them.

737
00:37:25.295 --> 00:37:27.815
They're afraid they're gonna get priced out the market,

738
00:37:28.235 --> 00:37:29.735
and if they lose a sibling,

739
00:37:29.965 --> 00:37:32.375
they've automatically reduced their benefits in half.

740
00:37:32.915 --> 00:37:37.855
So I think costs, budgeting and quality of life.

741
00:37:38.585 --> 00:37:39.585
Thank you.

742
00:37:41.325 --> 00:37:42.455
Okay. Um,

743
00:37:44.065 --> 00:37:48.065
I, I believe one

744
00:37:48.065 --> 00:37:49.825
of the biggest concerns of everyone

745
00:37:49.825 --> 00:37:53.625
who lives in the villages is control of the amenity fees

746
00:37:54.885 --> 00:37:57.105
and other expenses that we go through,

747
00:37:57.135 --> 00:37:59.905
including our maintenance expenses.

748
00:38:00.725 --> 00:38:04.065
Uh, and I know, and what the job is of our board is

749
00:38:04.285 --> 00:38:08.545
to control as best we can to continue

750
00:38:08.575 --> 00:38:12.585
with the high level of service that the residents demand,

751
00:38:13.045 --> 00:38:17.025
but yet being able to do so as cost effective as possible,

752
00:38:17.235 --> 00:38:19.545
especially when it comes to the maintenance fees.

753
00:38:20.285 --> 00:38:22.745
Uh, but amenity fees scares a lot of people.

754
00:38:23.005 --> 00:38:26.185
And as it was mentioned, which is a good point, is the fact

755
00:38:26.215 --> 00:38:28.785
that the older the population is here,

756
00:38:29.365 --> 00:38:31.465
the less likely they are to be able

757
00:38:31.485 --> 00:38:34.665
to continue if they're on a fixed income.

758
00:38:35.545 --> 00:38:38.565
So it does present a problem, which I'm sure we

759
00:38:38.905 --> 00:38:41.885
or you as the board deal with frequently.

760
00:38:42.745 --> 00:38:45.565
And so I would say that that would be some of the primary

761
00:38:46.405 --> 00:38:49.445
concerns that most all residents have that

762
00:38:49.445 --> 00:38:51.645
and the fact of just change in general.

763
00:38:52.605 --> 00:38:55.765
'cause the older some of us get, the less we accept change.

764
00:38:56.425 --> 00:38:59.245
And so that becomes something of, of a resistance

765
00:38:59.305 --> 00:39:02.045
to the way things, or what's that saying?

766
00:39:02.515 --> 00:39:06.965
Well, it used to be that way. Why isn't it that way today?

767
00:39:08.105 --> 00:39:10.365
So those are the concerns I think that a lot

768
00:39:10.365 --> 00:39:11.445
of villagers do have.

769
00:39:11.775 --> 00:39:12.205
Thank you.

770
00:39:20.265 --> 00:39:23.045
The number one thing that I've heard in terms of, uh,

771
00:39:24.195 --> 00:39:26.965
what my neighbors are concerned about, I think is

772
00:39:27.625 --> 00:39:31.205
the biggest issue, is the multimodal trail and congestion

773
00:39:31.345 --> 00:39:32.445
and traffic

774
00:39:32.505 --> 00:39:35.485
and that type of thing we might have control over.

775
00:39:35.665 --> 00:39:37.805
The other thing that you hear about all the time is use

776
00:39:37.805 --> 00:39:40.845
of our amenities, like pools and things by outsiders,

777
00:39:40.845 --> 00:39:42.765
and not having enough people to check

778
00:39:42.765 --> 00:39:44.805
and make sure that the pools are being,

779
00:39:44.865 --> 00:39:47.085
are being appropriately used in other amenities.

780
00:39:47.585 --> 00:39:51.165
And the, the issue, I think that's, that I think is looming,

781
00:39:51.425 --> 00:39:53.045
and I don't know that we have any control over,

782
00:39:53.105 --> 00:39:55.325
but we would need to explore this is

783
00:39:55.875 --> 00:39:59.045
grow from contiguous non village areas

784
00:39:59.545 --> 00:40:02.005
and developments that want

785
00:40:02.005 --> 00:40:03.685
to come into the villages and use our amenities.

786
00:40:03.685 --> 00:40:05.445
And that the tension that that creates between

787
00:40:05.445 --> 00:40:08.285
what residents want and what our businesses want,

788
00:40:08.305 --> 00:40:11.165
and the fact those, the, the, the governance

789
00:40:11.165 --> 00:40:12.605
of those areas are bifurcated

790
00:40:12.705 --> 00:40:15.925
and their, their interests aren't necessarily aligned.

791
00:40:16.465 --> 00:40:18.685
And I, I don't know enough about it to say

792
00:40:19.105 --> 00:40:20.205
how we could weigh in on that,

793
00:40:20.265 --> 00:40:23.125
but I think it's, it's something that's becoming a bigger

794
00:40:23.185 --> 00:40:25.445
and bigger concern all the time for our residents.

795
00:40:28.375 --> 00:40:32.285
Thank you. Um, any other thoughts,

796
00:40:32.525 --> 00:40:33.885
questions from other supervisors?

797
00:40:35.995 --> 00:40:39.685
Okay. Um, now we have to face a very, very difficult,

798
00:40:40.195 --> 00:40:41.285
very difficult decision.

799
00:40:41.505 --> 00:40:46.485
Um, and I, as a preface, I'd like to say, uh, first of all,

800
00:40:46.505 --> 00:40:48.885
we will, we will vote here shortly.

801
00:40:49.185 --> 00:40:52.725
Uh, we will do that by, uh, by ballot, uh,

802
00:40:53.025 --> 00:40:56.445
and, uh, um, which, uh, which will be a public record.

803
00:40:57.145 --> 00:41:01.325
And, uh, the, if the candidate

804
00:41:01.325 --> 00:41:03.925
who will be selected will be the one who has the,

805
00:41:03.945 --> 00:41:07.405
the most votes, um, and with five of you

806
00:41:07.405 --> 00:41:11.365
and three of us, uh, that obviously is a potential of a

807
00:41:11.975 --> 00:41:13.165
relatively small number.

808
00:41:13.345 --> 00:41:16.545
If for some reason we cannot reach, uh,

809
00:41:16.815 --> 00:41:19.025
that agreement on our first vote.

810
00:41:20.245 --> 00:41:23.425
Um, all the candidates who do receive a vote,

811
00:41:23.635 --> 00:41:26.865
which I guess in this case, well, all the candidates

812
00:41:26.865 --> 00:41:30.105
who receive vote, would go into a second round of balloting.

813
00:41:31.045 --> 00:41:34.365
And if for some reason, uh, at that point we could not

814
00:41:34.895 --> 00:41:38.005
reach an agreement, we do have an option of continuing

815
00:41:38.005 --> 00:41:40.365
to vote or to, uh, um,

816
00:41:41.335 --> 00:41:44.645
carry over the consideration, uh, until the next meeting,

817
00:41:45.385 --> 00:41:47.965
uh, at which time there would be at least four of us.

818
00:41:48.505 --> 00:41:51.685
Um, so my colleagues,

819
00:41:52.505 --> 00:41:53.765
um, it's our turn.

820
00:41:54.545 --> 00:41:58.885
And again, I would, I would hope that all of you, um, it,

821
00:41:58.915 --> 00:41:59.925
it's good to see you.

822
00:42:00.085 --> 00:42:02.565
I hope all of you, some of you who've been

823
00:42:02.565 --> 00:42:04.925
around a long time, some of you are relatively new,

824
00:42:05.345 --> 00:42:06.685
please stay involved.

825
00:42:07.545 --> 00:42:11.525
Um, we, we value, we,

826
00:42:11.525 --> 00:42:15.445
we genuinely value input, uh, on the things

827
00:42:15.445 --> 00:42:18.765
that we can control, and we value the input on the things we

828
00:42:18.775 --> 00:42:20.485
can't control, uh,

829
00:42:20.485 --> 00:42:22.965
because, uh, quite frankly, the, the number of things

830
00:42:22.965 --> 00:42:25.365
that statutorily we're responsible for is a very limited,

831
00:42:26.385 --> 00:42:31.245
um, so time for our difficult

832
00:42:31.885 --> 00:42:34.005
decision Chairman, I'd like

833
00:42:34.005 --> 00:42:35.165
to say one thing before we do this.

834
00:42:35.165 --> 00:42:39.885
Yes, go ahead. Just, um, as I sit here, this is a very shade

835
00:42:39.885 --> 00:42:43.365
of gray for me, and it's a difficult decision even to make.

836
00:42:43.765 --> 00:42:46.645
I would be completely content with any one

837
00:42:46.645 --> 00:42:47.925
of you on the board with me.

838
00:42:48.725 --> 00:42:51.565
I think that, uh, your commitment to community is, uh,

839
00:42:52.115 --> 00:42:53.925
outstanding and I'd like to see that.

840
00:42:54.385 --> 00:42:57.685
So, uh, I believe that I can speak for all of us

841
00:42:57.715 --> 00:42:59.765
that this is a difficult thing to do.

842
00:42:59.945 --> 00:43:03.125
I'd prefer not to do it, but it's,

843
00:43:03.885 --> 00:43:04.965
I totally agree, huh?

844
00:43:05.425 --> 00:43:07.445
All of the above is not an option that we have.

845
00:43:07.445 --> 00:43:09.445
Yeah, I can't, I can't select all of the above

846
00:43:09.445 --> 00:43:11.125
or could we have a rotating position?

847
00:43:11.365 --> 00:43:14.045
Chairman? Yes. But, uh, would like to share meeting

848
00:43:51.185 --> 00:43:51.535
Katie.

849
00:44:04.595 --> 00:44:06.535
It won't take long to count the votes, I don't think

850
00:44:06.535 --> 00:44:07.535
Votes.

851
00:44:09.835 --> 00:44:11.175
We don't have to go to the supervisor

852
00:44:11.195 --> 00:44:12.375
of the elections for this one.

853
00:44:16.325 --> 00:44:21.065
Um, supervisor Coleman, uh,

854
00:44:21.735 --> 00:44:25.265
nominated Brian Gallagher and Chair Coro

855
00:44:25.445 --> 00:44:28.665
and Supervisor Platt have nominated Randall

856
00:44:29.065 --> 00:44:30.585
Edgar. So

857
00:44:30.585 --> 00:44:35.525
Randall Edgar has two nominations, which is the majority.

858
00:44:39.125 --> 00:44:42.645
I would declare that Randall Ner will fill the open seat.

859
00:44:42.645 --> 00:44:45.285
Counsel, do we need a motion? We have a motion to appoint

860
00:44:45.825 --> 00:44:47.045
Gordon, You wanna make a motion?

861
00:44:47.845 --> 00:44:50.925
I have a motion that we approve, uh, Randall Edgar for, uh,

862
00:44:51.425 --> 00:44:53.925
uh, to replace Peter Mill's, uh, position.

863
00:44:53.985 --> 00:44:57.565
Aye. Second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed?

864
00:44:58.255 --> 00:44:59.725
Again, thank you to all of you.

865
00:44:59.865 --> 00:45:03.485
Uh, I, I, I think with this quality of people,

866
00:45:04.535 --> 00:45:07.285
don't be surprised if we call on you for something,

867
00:45:07.285 --> 00:45:10.085
because I think there's tremendous amount of experience.

868
00:45:10.385 --> 00:45:13.125
We also have some relatively new residents,

869
00:45:13.125 --> 00:45:15.245
which I think is, is exciting.

870
00:45:15.425 --> 00:45:17.805
Uh, some of us been around a long time

871
00:45:18.105 --> 00:45:21.725
and, uh, there is a, a newer generation that, uh, uh,

872
00:45:22.025 --> 00:45:23.165
please stay involved.

873
00:45:23.995 --> 00:45:25.845
Very, very important. We hope to see a lot

874
00:45:25.845 --> 00:45:29.405
of you in the future with that, uh,

875
00:45:30.615 --> 00:45:33.005
supervisor, Edgar, you are step forward

876
00:45:33.185 --> 00:45:35.605
and we will, you will be sworn in.

877
00:45:36.225 --> 00:45:37.285
One of the first things you'll get

878
00:45:37.285 --> 00:45:40.805
to do is look at the budget, and you will have all

879
00:45:40.805 --> 00:45:43.685
of about five minutes maybe to look at that here.

880
00:45:43.825 --> 00:45:46.125
Uh, you, I would hope that somebody will stay

881
00:45:46.125 --> 00:45:47.885
because we have a very full budget,

882
00:45:47.885 --> 00:45:49.525
including a couple public hearings.

883
00:45:50.025 --> 00:45:54.565
Um, a couple of other really important items to get into.

884
00:45:54.745 --> 00:45:56.525
So, Madam Clerk,

885
00:45:57.465 --> 00:45:58.685
As a citizen of the state

886
00:45:58.685 --> 00:46:01.765
of Florida in the United States of America, being employed

887
00:46:01.905 --> 00:46:04.765
by an officer, a village community development district

888
00:46:04.765 --> 00:46:07.405
number six, and a recipient of public funds,

889
00:46:07.585 --> 00:46:09.005
do you hereby solemnly swear

890
00:46:09.025 --> 00:46:11.365
or affirm that you support the Constitution

891
00:46:11.365 --> 00:46:13.125
of the United States and the state of

892
00:46:13.125 --> 00:46:14.125
Florida? I will.

893
00:46:14.125 --> 00:46:16.405
Congratulations.

894
00:46:28.115 --> 00:46:28.405
Okay.

895
00:46:28.405 --> 00:46:30.085
Moving right along into our

896
00:46:30.355 --> 00:46:31.325
Next suggestion item,

897
00:46:34.855 --> 00:46:35.725
cover my agenda.

898
00:46:40.825 --> 00:46:43.445
Yes, I do. In fact, have a paper copy of it here.

899
00:46:49.075 --> 00:46:50.695
Congratulations. Thank you.

900
00:46:54.015 --> 00:46:55.135
I lost my agenda here.

901
00:46:58.625 --> 00:47:02.055
There we go. I got it. Okay.

902
00:47:02.075 --> 00:47:04.975
At this point in time, we will hear from staff on

903
00:47:04.995 --> 00:47:06.135
our proposed budget.

904
00:47:06.715 --> 00:47:08.855
For those of you who, um, are not familiar

905
00:47:08.855 --> 00:47:12.335
with this process, uh, there are some statutory requirements

906
00:47:12.515 --> 00:47:16.015
for the timing on which our budgets have to be approved.

907
00:47:16.775 --> 00:47:20.855
Ultimately, we have been through the, uh, uh, early stages

908
00:47:20.915 --> 00:47:22.015
of the budget hearings.

909
00:47:22.395 --> 00:47:24.375
Uh, we've, uh, considered the numbers.

910
00:47:24.955 --> 00:47:28.975
Uh, we have made some decisions that today will be, uh, uh,

911
00:47:30.615 --> 00:47:32.585
will serve as the basis for our budget,

912
00:47:32.585 --> 00:47:35.065
which will be approved in

913
00:47:35.665 --> 00:47:37.185
September at our September meeting.

914
00:47:37.685 --> 00:47:40.585
Uh, which there's a, the path that eventually it goes

915
00:47:40.585 --> 00:47:43.025
through the county into the state for overall,

916
00:47:43.165 --> 00:47:44.345
uh, concurrence on that budget.

917
00:47:44.485 --> 00:47:46.465
So today is, if you would, the first

918
00:47:46.465 --> 00:47:48.745
of the final steps of our budget.

919
00:47:49.005 --> 00:47:51.065
So please,

920
00:47:51.735 --> 00:47:53.345
Good morning, Brandy Cook budget.

921
00:47:54.005 --> 00:47:55.785
I'm here today to request adoption

922
00:47:55.785 --> 00:47:58.625
of resolution 2025 dash zero seven

923
00:47:59.045 --> 00:48:02.465
to approve your fiscal year 20 25 26, proposed budget

924
00:48:02.885 --> 00:48:04.225
and accept your public hearing

925
00:48:04.245 --> 00:48:07.305
to adopt your 20 25, 26 final budget

926
00:48:07.605 --> 00:48:09.345
during your September regular meeting.

927
00:48:10.445 --> 00:48:13.385
As the board, uh, of supervisors knows you reviewed your

928
00:48:13.385 --> 00:48:16.625
preliminary budget during a workshop review in February.

929
00:48:17.335 --> 00:48:20.105
Following that staff brought back additional information

930
00:48:20.105 --> 00:48:23.945
during your May budget review at your meeting last month.

931
00:48:25.045 --> 00:48:27.745
The attached, uh, proposed operating budget

932
00:48:27.925 --> 00:48:32.825
of $4,731,596 is

933
00:48:32.825 --> 00:48:36.025
an increase of $108,822

934
00:48:36.605 --> 00:48:38.985
or 3% from the current year amended budget,

935
00:48:39.355 --> 00:48:42.385
which is mostly due to increases in utilities.

936
00:48:43.125 --> 00:48:44.625
The board of supervisors had,

937
00:48:44.805 --> 00:48:46.905
has reviewed the line item budget in detail.

938
00:48:47.215 --> 00:48:48.745
Your capital improvement plan

939
00:48:49.165 --> 00:48:50.985
and your fund balances going out

940
00:48:50.985 --> 00:48:52.465
for the next five fiscal years.

941
00:48:54.045 --> 00:48:56.665
The following, um, following the budget reviews,

942
00:48:57.125 --> 00:48:58.665
the board discussed and

943
00:48:58.985 --> 00:48:59.985
provided direction to staff

944
00:49:00.005 --> 00:49:01.785
to include maintenance assessment rates

945
00:49:02.015 --> 00:49:05.945
with no change in the current 20 25, 26 fiscal year.

946
00:49:06.565 --> 00:49:09.745
And as a reminder, this is the maximum assessment

947
00:49:09.855 --> 00:49:12.745
that can be set in the final budget, and it will be

948
00:49:13.065 --> 00:49:14.865
provided to the, uh, residents

949
00:49:14.865 --> 00:49:16.905
of the district on the annual tax bill

950
00:49:17.095 --> 00:49:18.505
that they receive in November.

951
00:49:20.055 --> 00:49:22.025
Also, attached are the proposed budgets

952
00:49:22.025 --> 00:49:23.145
for the debt service funds.

953
00:49:23.675 --> 00:49:26.705
These budgets reflect the interest in principle along

954
00:49:26.705 --> 00:49:28.545
with all of the bond related expenditures

955
00:49:28.885 --> 00:49:30.865
and the revenue received from the bond assessment.

956
00:49:31.095 --> 00:49:33.505
Payment staff will continue

957
00:49:33.505 --> 00:49:35.585
to work on finalizing the budget over the next couple

958
00:49:35.585 --> 00:49:37.945
of months, and will bring back the final budget

959
00:49:38.005 --> 00:49:39.905
during your September regular meeting,

960
00:49:40.215 --> 00:49:43.025
following the public hearing where that would be adopted,

961
00:49:43.025 --> 00:49:44.905
including your maintenance assessment rate.

962
00:49:45.765 --> 00:49:47.945
So at this time, staff recommends adoption

963
00:49:47.965 --> 00:49:50.625
of your resolution, 2025 dash zero seven

964
00:49:51.165 --> 00:49:54.345
to approve your fiscal year 20 25, 26 proposed budget,

965
00:49:54.765 --> 00:49:55.905
and to set your public hearing

966
00:49:55.925 --> 00:49:58.945
to adopt your 20 25, 26 final budget

967
00:49:59.325 --> 00:50:00.945
and final maintenance assessment rates

968
00:50:01.565 --> 00:50:06.185
for your September 5th, 2025 meeting at 10:00 AM at the Sea

969
00:50:06.185 --> 00:50:07.345
Breeze Recreation Center.

970
00:50:07.605 --> 00:50:09.065
And I'm here if there's any questions.

971
00:50:10.445 --> 00:50:12.425
Let me just offer a comment for those, uh,

972
00:50:12.525 --> 00:50:14.625
who have not sat through this with us before.

973
00:50:15.365 --> 00:50:17.745
Um, and for our new supervisor,

974
00:50:18.645 --> 00:50:22.265
we have not in this district raised our maintenance fee now

975
00:50:22.445 --> 00:50:23.545
for 11 years.

976
00:50:24.405 --> 00:50:28.645
Uh, we were very prudent in the early stages of the,

977
00:50:28.785 --> 00:50:32.885
the district to bank money to make sure

978
00:50:32.885 --> 00:50:34.325
that we had adequate reserves

979
00:50:34.325 --> 00:50:36.565
because we knew that ti time would come

980
00:50:36.565 --> 00:50:40.165
with aging infrastructure, that ultimately we would begin to

981
00:50:40.715 --> 00:50:42.645
have costs associated with that.

982
00:50:43.345 --> 00:50:46.885
Uh, also with the ongoing maintenance costs continuing

983
00:50:46.885 --> 00:50:48.165
to go up, uh,

984
00:50:48.175 --> 00:50:51.885
after much discussion, it's a mild disagreement.

985
00:50:52.065 --> 00:50:55.325
We chose in this budget year not

986
00:50:55.325 --> 00:50:57.005
to raise our maintenance fee.

987
00:50:57.715 --> 00:51:00.405
However, there will have

988
00:51:00.405 --> 00:51:03.445
to be very serious consideration given during the,

989
00:51:03.625 --> 00:51:06.605
the upcoming year to take a look at it

990
00:51:06.605 --> 00:51:08.205
because we are now beginning to

991
00:51:08.755 --> 00:51:10.765
work our way into our reserves.

992
00:51:11.465 --> 00:51:15.005
Uh, we have a set, we still are a well reserved district.

993
00:51:15.485 --> 00:51:18.445
I will say, having represented a number of different types

994
00:51:18.445 --> 00:51:23.245
of government over my, my career in civic involvement,

995
00:51:23.585 --> 00:51:25.485
uh, you are living in probably one

996
00:51:25.485 --> 00:51:27.645
of the best funded governmental entities

997
00:51:27.755 --> 00:51:29.005
that you would ever live in.

998
00:51:29.505 --> 00:51:34.005
Uh, but our costs are beginning to exceed our income,

999
00:51:34.865 --> 00:51:36.325
and I think we all know what that means.

1000
00:51:37.065 --> 00:51:41.445
So, uh, with that, a motion to approve the, uh, budget,

1001
00:51:41.905 --> 00:51:46.085
uh, for carrying forward is, is would be an order.

1002
00:51:46.425 --> 00:51:47.565
If there's no other questions

1003
00:51:47.565 --> 00:51:50.685
or comments, we've had a chance to look at it.

1004
00:51:52.425 --> 00:51:56.485
Um, I, I, my, my problem is

1005
00:51:58.705 --> 00:52:03.325
we don't have to, um, increase the, um,

1006
00:52:04.555 --> 00:52:08.805
this is the last time that what we can do is set a ceiling

1007
00:52:09.585 --> 00:52:12.205
for how much we could increase the amount.

1008
00:52:12.545 --> 00:52:13.645
No, that'd be set by statute.

1009
00:52:14.835 --> 00:52:18.645
Yeah, but I'm just saying that if we increase it today,

1010
00:52:19.055 --> 00:52:22.685
right, we don't have to spend, we don't have to use it.

1011
00:52:23.465 --> 00:52:25.485
We have to make that decision in September.

1012
00:52:26.545 --> 00:52:30.245
But if we today say we're not gonna increase our,

1013
00:52:30.705 --> 00:52:33.285
our budget at all, then we are committed to do that.

1014
00:52:33.305 --> 00:52:34.305
Is that true?

1015
00:52:36.055 --> 00:52:38.555
So whatever maintenance assessments you set today,

1016
00:52:38.555 --> 00:52:40.835
that would be the maximum that you could move forward

1017
00:52:40.865 --> 00:52:42.635
with in your final budget adoption.

1018
00:52:43.015 --> 00:52:45.275
So if you move forward with no change today,

1019
00:52:45.585 --> 00:52:49.075
then you would not be, um, allowed to increase it past

1020
00:52:49.075 --> 00:52:50.155
that in your final budget.

1021
00:52:50.495 --> 00:52:52.795
Um, you would only be allowed for a decrease if you

1022
00:52:53.115 --> 00:52:55.235
approved, let's say a 3% today,

1023
00:52:55.705 --> 00:52:58.115
then you could still move forward with no change

1024
00:52:58.115 --> 00:53:00.835
during your final, um, following the notices

1025
00:53:00.835 --> 00:53:01.915
to the residents and the legal

1026
00:53:01.915 --> 00:53:03.435
advertisements that are required.

1027
00:53:07.835 --> 00:53:11.535
So my question is, what does it hurt us particularly?

1028
00:53:11.595 --> 00:53:13.735
We have a new, uh, a new board member

1029
00:53:14.635 --> 00:53:17.615
and, uh, supervisor Coleman wasn't here

1030
00:53:18.515 --> 00:53:22.215
to set a modest price increase between now

1031
00:53:22.875 --> 00:53:25.485
and then make the final decision in September.

1032
00:53:30.915 --> 00:53:32.605
That is at the board's direction.

1033
00:53:33.105 --> 00:53:35.165
Um, one of the items that

1034
00:53:35.165 --> 00:53:39.445
that would initiate is it would be a notice to residents of

1035
00:53:40.045 --> 00:53:42.565
a proposed increase, um,

1036
00:53:42.945 --> 00:53:45.685
but understanding that it would notice them

1037
00:53:45.915 --> 00:53:48.085
that the final decision would be made

1038
00:53:48.185 --> 00:53:49.365
at the September meeting.

1039
00:53:50.955 --> 00:53:53.605
That is, that is the public hearing for adoption

1040
00:53:53.605 --> 00:53:55.485
of your final budget, at which time

1041
00:53:56.425 --> 00:54:00.845
you can determine anything lower than what you adopt today.

1042
00:54:02.035 --> 00:54:04.285
Yeah. And what we know is

1043
00:54:04.285 --> 00:54:06.645
that we're doing now is not sustainable.

1044
00:54:06.645 --> 00:54:09.485
That we, you know, I don't want to increase, uh,

1045
00:54:09.765 --> 00:54:12.965
people's fees any more than, than we have to.

1046
00:54:13.445 --> 00:54:15.285
I don't know what for we need to go to,

1047
00:54:15.785 --> 00:54:17.245
and I know this isn't sustainable.

1048
00:54:18.445 --> 00:54:20.885
I mean, if, if we want to commit today,

1049
00:54:21.315 --> 00:54:24.645
like the chairman mentioned to, uh,

1050
00:54:25.705 --> 00:54:29.005
not being able to increase it, then uh,

1051
00:54:29.705 --> 00:54:30.805
we could certainly do that.

1052
00:54:31.145 --> 00:54:35.085
But to give us some flexibility between now

1053
00:54:35.085 --> 00:54:38.405
and September, what we then have in September,

1054
00:54:38.505 --> 00:54:41.245
we probably would have a few people show up as to concern

1055
00:54:41.245 --> 00:54:42.685
what the price increases are.

1056
00:54:43.185 --> 00:54:44.565
But remember we've gone through COVID

1057
00:54:44.705 --> 00:54:47.885
and all that other stuff since we've had a price increase.

1058
00:54:49.445 --> 00:54:51.225
Let me see if I understand this.

1059
00:54:52.325 --> 00:54:56.665
If we propose a 3% increase today,

1060
00:54:58.445 --> 00:55:00.905
we do not have to necessarily go with

1061
00:55:00.905 --> 00:55:03.465
that 3% increase in September.

1062
00:55:04.135 --> 00:55:06.265
That is correct. Any assessment rate

1063
00:55:06.295 --> 00:55:09.625
that is set today is the ceiling that you would be allowed

1064
00:55:09.645 --> 00:55:11.185
to set your maintenance assessments

1065
00:55:11.205 --> 00:55:12.265
to and your final budget.

1066
00:55:12.455 --> 00:55:15.065
However, um, following that public hearing

1067
00:55:15.325 --> 00:55:18.025
and, um, public comment, you could still move forward

1068
00:55:18.055 --> 00:55:20.745
with a lower percentage or even no change.

1069
00:55:21.255 --> 00:55:23.105
Okay. And the, the one item

1070
00:55:23.105 --> 00:55:24.905
that I would just wanna put out there is

1071
00:55:24.905 --> 00:55:26.625
that there is an expense associated

1072
00:55:26.695 --> 00:55:29.345
with the legal advertising and communication.

1073
00:55:30.105 --> 00:55:32.865
I would just state that, that if you,

1074
00:55:33.325 --> 00:55:36.625
if you are considering an increase that you consider that,

1075
00:55:36.625 --> 00:55:38.465
because if you do a proposed increase,

1076
00:55:39.125 --> 00:55:40.825
you perform all the notifications

1077
00:55:40.965 --> 00:55:43.665
and then you don't move forward with it, you've

1078
00:55:44.585 --> 00:55:47.505
expended the funds with no additional revenue to offset it,

1079
00:55:47.805 --> 00:55:51.105
and it's, it's not a significant amount or between five

1080
00:55:51.205 --> 00:55:52.225
and 7,000.

1081
00:55:52.255 --> 00:55:55.225
Yeah. Um, but just for the board's awareness that, just

1082
00:55:55.225 --> 00:55:57.385
to take that into consideration within a

1083
00:55:57.665 --> 00:55:58.785
proposed increase amount,

1084
00:56:00.925 --> 00:56:02.705
The main reason I bring this up is that

1085
00:56:03.365 --> 00:56:06.905
for some reason we've had not the full board or,

1086
00:56:06.965 --> 00:56:11.425
or less for this season with, uh, uh,

1087
00:56:11.795 --> 00:56:13.465
supervisor Moeller retiring

1088
00:56:14.565 --> 00:56:18.145
and the supervisor reek has some personal

1089
00:56:18.145 --> 00:56:19.265
issue he hasn't been through.

1090
00:56:19.725 --> 00:56:22.785
So we've only had like two or three people here each time.

1091
00:56:23.665 --> 00:56:27.725
And, uh, I'll go with whatever, you know, the, uh,

1092
00:56:28.025 --> 00:56:29.445
the board thinks we should do.

1093
00:56:34.225 --> 00:56:37.125
Oh, I guess my comment is, I thought we had pretty well I

1094
00:56:37.125 --> 00:56:38.965
thought passed this out at the last meeting. Yeah. I,

1095
00:56:39.005 --> 00:56:41.045
I thought we had already talked this through.

1096
00:56:41.665 --> 00:56:43.965
Uh, this horse is already dead, but

1097
00:56:44.295 --> 00:56:45.295
Guess not.

1098
00:56:45.955 --> 00:56:47.445
Yeah. If, if it helps,

1099
00:56:50.375 --> 00:56:52.085
We're looking at income this year

1100
00:56:52.515 --> 00:56:55.125
between our maintenance fees, uh,

1101
00:56:55.155 --> 00:56:56.525
projected investment earnings

1102
00:56:57.105 --> 00:56:59.645
and some miscellaneous earnings of having

1103
00:57:00.175 --> 00:57:01.885
total operating income

1104
00:57:03.305 --> 00:57:05.485
of about $3,000,662.

1105
00:57:05.505 --> 00:57:09.365
And, uh, 731 6, pardon me again,

1106
00:57:09.365 --> 00:57:14.205
$3,662,731 will be

1107
00:57:14.205 --> 00:57:16.045
our income projected.

1108
00:57:16.045 --> 00:57:18.445
Right? Uh, our operating expenses

1109
00:57:18.705 --> 00:57:21.725
for the year will be about $4,000,731,

1110
00:57:22.595 --> 00:57:26.525
4 million 731, 590 $6

1111
00:57:27.745 --> 00:57:30.965
our reserve, which we, we have a very, uh,

1112
00:57:30.965 --> 00:57:35.405
aggressive reserve, uh, is the, uh, about, uh, excuse me,

1113
00:57:35.795 --> 00:57:38.085
operating reserve is about $10 million.

1114
00:57:38.705 --> 00:57:41.005
Uh, our required reserve based on our policy

1115
00:57:41.745 --> 00:57:43.765
is about $1.3 million.

1116
00:57:44.425 --> 00:57:46.965
So we have 7.7 million

1117
00:57:47.855 --> 00:57:52.685
730,988 $89 in our reserve.

1118
00:57:53.385 --> 00:57:55.765
So the amount of available reserve over

1119
00:57:55.885 --> 00:57:58.685
and above the required reserve

1120
00:57:58.685 --> 00:58:01.205
that we've established is almost $3 million.

1121
00:58:02.695 --> 00:58:04.765
We've had extensive discussion about

1122
00:58:04.765 --> 00:58:06.125
digging into that reserve.

1123
00:58:06.195 --> 00:58:07.685
What we've asked staff to do is

1124
00:58:07.685 --> 00:58:09.685
to provide us a five year projection

1125
00:58:09.745 --> 00:58:12.765
so we have a better understanding, not of what we think,

1126
00:58:13.385 --> 00:58:16.565
but what we know we will have to have in order

1127
00:58:16.625 --> 00:58:19.685
to get ourselves back to the point where our income

1128
00:58:20.465 --> 00:58:22.005
is equaling our expenses.

1129
00:58:22.545 --> 00:58:24.685
And that's gonna be a little bit of a swag, but I think

1130
00:58:24.685 --> 00:58:25.965
before we, we move,

1131
00:58:26.345 --> 00:58:28.045
and that's why we talked about it at the last meeting,

1132
00:58:28.315 --> 00:58:32.645
that we were not going to raise our, our, our costs

1133
00:58:32.705 --> 00:58:35.005
or raise our maintenance fee at this, this year,

1134
00:58:35.905 --> 00:58:39.045
but we knew we had to go into it on a studied basis

1135
00:58:39.465 --> 00:58:41.845
during the next, the upcoming fiscal year.

1136
00:58:42.545 --> 00:58:45.445
So with that regard, I guess the question is,

1137
00:58:45.445 --> 00:58:48.045
you're certainly welcome, uh, Gordon to make a,

1138
00:58:48.045 --> 00:58:50.605
make a motion and if you would like, um,

1139
00:58:51.265 --> 00:58:53.965
but I think the question is that that sets off the need

1140
00:58:53.965 --> 00:58:56.445
for having another public hearing. Is that correct?

1141
00:58:57.105 --> 00:58:58.965
The public hearing would be required

1142
00:58:59.285 --> 00:59:00.605
regardless to adapt to your budget.

1143
00:59:00.635 --> 00:59:02.365
Okay. Alright. This would just, um,

1144
00:59:02.585 --> 00:59:04.845
if you don't move forward with any change,

1145
00:59:04.945 --> 00:59:07.445
you would not be required for that additional expense

1146
00:59:07.465 --> 00:59:10.725
of the legal advertising, the notices in the newspaper,

1147
00:59:11.065 --> 00:59:12.565
and then the additional legal expenses.

1148
00:59:13.905 --> 00:59:16.085
So if you're making a motion, we need a second to that.

1149
00:59:18.765 --> 00:59:21.245
I, I make a motion that we proceed and do

1150
00:59:21.245 --> 00:59:21.765
Not raise,

1151
00:59:25.825 --> 00:59:27.045
is there a second to that motion?

1152
00:59:27.395 --> 00:59:30.405
I'll second it. Okay. Any further discussion?

1153
00:59:30.945 --> 00:59:33.845
All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Okay.

1154
00:59:33.855 --> 00:59:36.445
We'll proceed as we have discussed in previous meetings,

1155
00:59:36.745 --> 00:59:39.245
but I think it's important to understand that we know,

1156
00:59:40.625 --> 00:59:42.925
we know we're sailing into iceberg territory.

1157
00:59:43.065 --> 00:59:45.725
We wanna make sure that we've got, uh, we've got everything

1158
00:59:45.725 --> 00:59:49.045
that we need to so that we can go out on a reasonable basis,

1159
00:59:49.075 --> 00:59:52.125
tell our residents what we're doing, why we're doing it, uh,

1160
00:59:52.185 --> 00:59:53.325
and that the numbers add up.

1161
00:59:53.735 --> 00:59:54.765
Thank you. Okay.

1162
00:59:57.905 --> 00:59:59.165
All right. Moving along.

1163
01:00:00.955 --> 01:00:02.085
Good morning. Board members.

1164
01:00:02.225 --> 01:00:05.365
Um, the next item for con uh, consideration is adoption

1165
01:00:05.365 --> 01:00:07.925
of joint resolution 2025 dash

1166
01:00:08.465 --> 01:00:12.485
six amending the Exhibit A to the third amendment

1167
01:00:12.545 --> 01:00:14.685
and restated interlocal agreement for maintenance

1168
01:00:14.685 --> 01:00:15.965
of project wide improvement.

1169
01:00:16.715 --> 01:00:20.645
Essentially what this accomplishes is removal of the landing

1170
01:00:21.305 --> 01:00:24.045
on Lake Sumter, um, as a responsibility

1171
01:00:24.185 --> 01:00:25.805
of the project wide fund.

1172
01:00:26.305 --> 01:00:29.925
Um, so currently all participating project wide members, um,

1173
01:00:29.925 --> 01:00:31.885
through your maintenance assessments are supporting

1174
01:00:32.095 --> 01:00:35.165
everything on exhibit A, including the landing,

1175
01:00:35.995 --> 01:00:38.125
what has been proposed to, uh,

1176
01:00:38.125 --> 01:00:39.605
the project wide advisory committee.

1177
01:00:39.785 --> 01:00:43.685
And they have, um, recommended approval of is a,

1178
01:00:44.325 --> 01:00:45.685
a rebuild of that area,

1179
01:00:45.815 --> 01:00:48.885
which really changes the functional use from a passive area

1180
01:00:49.425 --> 01:00:50.845
to a recreational amenity.

1181
01:00:51.265 --> 01:00:54.925
Um, it would include, um, the tour boats, kayaking,

1182
01:00:54.925 --> 01:00:58.245
dragon boat launches, um, the pontoon boats.

1183
01:00:58.345 --> 01:01:01.125
All of those activities would be centered on the rebuild,

1184
01:01:01.665 --> 01:01:04.685
um, of that, uh, dock system.

1185
01:01:05.105 --> 01:01:07.405
And the presentation was included in the package,

1186
01:01:07.415 --> 01:01:09.565
which provides the conceptual overview.

1187
01:01:10.265 --> 01:01:12.525
Um, but in order to accomplish that, um,

1188
01:01:12.625 --> 01:01:15.005
and for that to be funded through amenities moving forward,

1189
01:01:15.585 --> 01:01:17.725
we would need to remove it from Exhibit A.

1190
01:01:18.345 --> 01:01:21.085
It does not change anyone's accessible, um,

1191
01:01:21.155 --> 01:01:22.485
acreage contribution.

1192
01:01:22.485 --> 01:01:25.685
So Sumter Landing would continue to pay their same rate.

1193
01:01:25.825 --> 01:01:27.845
It just removes the item, um,

1194
01:01:27.845 --> 01:01:29.645
from maintenance responsibility of all parties.

1195
01:01:32.345 --> 01:01:35.165
Yes, oversimplification.

1196
01:01:35.225 --> 01:01:37.165
It would then become the responsibilities out

1197
01:01:37.165 --> 01:01:41.245
of the amenities to take care of that amenity versus

1198
01:01:41.865 --> 01:01:43.365
the districts, the number

1199
01:01:43.365 --> 01:01:45.085
of districts which are really

1200
01:01:45.085 --> 01:01:46.365
responsible for infrastructure.

1201
01:01:49.225 --> 01:01:50.445
Any further discussion?

1202
01:01:50.445 --> 01:01:52.965
If not, a motion to approve would be an order.

1203
01:01:57.035 --> 01:02:00.205
Okay. I motion that we approve the, uh, uh,

1204
01:02:00.785 --> 01:02:05.125
the resolution 25 uh, dash zero six.

1205
01:02:06.165 --> 01:02:10.605
I second it. Any further discussion? All in favor say aye.

1206
01:02:10.785 --> 01:02:12.565
Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Thank you.

1207
01:02:12.755 --> 01:02:15.325
That was the right decision on our part.

1208
01:02:15.525 --> 01:02:19.285
I applaud PW of for pushing for that.

1209
01:02:21.435 --> 01:02:21.725
Okay.

1210
01:02:28.495 --> 01:02:29.845
Metal roof, sun Villas.

1211
01:02:30.915 --> 01:02:33.205
Good morning board. Shannon Boyd. Community standards.

1212
01:02:33.205 --> 01:02:35.125
Today I'm here to discuss with you metal roof

1213
01:02:35.305 --> 01:02:36.765
and courtyard villa roofs.

1214
01:02:37.305 --> 01:02:40.285
So as the community continues to age, excuse me,

1215
01:02:40.805 --> 01:02:42.485
construction materials used at the time

1216
01:02:42.485 --> 01:02:45.605
of original construction have become increasingly difficult

1217
01:02:45.705 --> 01:02:47.725
to find or are unavailable,

1218
01:02:47.865 --> 01:02:49.685
and alternatives are required

1219
01:02:49.745 --> 01:02:52.005
to perform general maintenance or replacements.

1220
01:02:52.475 --> 01:02:55.645
This has become evident for courtyard, Villa roofs, colors

1221
01:02:55.905 --> 01:02:57.005
and material grades

1222
01:02:57.075 --> 01:03:00.245
that were available have been discontinued by manufacturers.

1223
01:03:00.715 --> 01:03:02.405
This creates various concerns.

1224
01:03:02.755 --> 01:03:05.285
Roof inconsistency and compliance issues.

1225
01:03:05.515 --> 01:03:07.165
When homeowners need to replace

1226
01:03:07.265 --> 01:03:09.045
or repair portions of their roof,

1227
01:03:09.315 --> 01:03:10.965
they can't match the original color.

1228
01:03:11.025 --> 01:03:13.245
It creates visual, visual patchwork,

1229
01:03:13.475 --> 01:03:15.045
that would be a violation.

1230
01:03:15.525 --> 01:03:19.365
Discontinued colors has also caused a RC compliance issues

1231
01:03:19.815 --> 01:03:22.805
where the original color is no longer manufactured in

1232
01:03:22.805 --> 01:03:25.005
selections that must match as close

1233
01:03:25.005 --> 01:03:27.845
to the possible original color are not being selected.

1234
01:03:28.295 --> 01:03:30.005
There are also supplier concerns.

1235
01:03:30.155 --> 01:03:34.165
Roofing contractors may not carry all manufactured shingle

1236
01:03:34.165 --> 01:03:36.645
collections, limiting contractors' ability

1237
01:03:36.705 --> 01:03:39.245
to perform necessary roof replacements

1238
01:03:39.305 --> 01:03:41.005
or repairs to existing roof.

1239
01:03:41.555 --> 01:03:45.005
Current courtyard villa roof colors have slowly changed over

1240
01:03:45.005 --> 01:03:47.125
time to create a coexistence

1241
01:03:47.145 --> 01:03:49.485
of various colors within the hue range

1242
01:03:49.485 --> 01:03:50.805
of the original color.

1243
01:03:51.145 --> 01:03:54.565
And we have some aerial photos of a couple, couple villas,

1244
01:03:55.045 --> 01:03:57.045
Richmond Villas and Carlton Villas both

1245
01:03:57.045 --> 01:03:58.445
located in District six.

1246
01:03:58.795 --> 01:04:00.285
Just to show you over the years.

1247
01:04:00.865 --> 01:04:04.285
The one, uh, the upper photo is from a Google picture,

1248
01:04:04.345 --> 01:04:07.125
Google aerial view from 2016.

1249
01:04:07.705 --> 01:04:11.765
And then the other one below is from a current 2004, uh,

1250
01:04:11.765 --> 01:04:12.925
excuse me, 2020.

1251
01:04:13.065 --> 01:04:15.125
Uh, four. Um, so a more current.

1252
01:04:15.265 --> 01:04:19.005
So you can see over time the shades of the colors, um,

1253
01:04:19.755 --> 01:04:22.085
have changed and also quality issues.

1254
01:04:22.115 --> 01:04:24.765
Many homeowners wanna go with a higher quality shingle.

1255
01:04:24.905 --> 01:04:28.485
Higher quality shingles often don't offer the exact

1256
01:04:29.005 --> 01:04:32.165
original color, but similar colors within the original hue

1257
01:04:32.165 --> 01:04:36.005
range are available in that, um, higher quality shingle.

1258
01:04:36.505 --> 01:04:39.405
The deed restrictions do not govern color selections

1259
01:04:39.465 --> 01:04:40.885
for Courtyard Villa roofs.

1260
01:04:41.305 --> 01:04:42.525
The only requirement is

1261
01:04:42.525 --> 01:04:45.925
that a substantial change requires a RC approval.

1262
01:04:47.555 --> 01:04:50.925
This, uh, has also become evident with increasing requests

1263
01:04:50.925 --> 01:04:52.445
for standing sea metal roofs.

1264
01:04:52.655 --> 01:04:54.045
Homeowners are requesting

1265
01:04:54.045 --> 01:04:57.645
to install standing sea metal roofs on their homes due the

1266
01:04:57.665 --> 01:05:00.445
dur due to the durability and longevity of the roof.

1267
01:05:00.785 --> 01:05:03.805
The current a RC manual does not address standing sea metal

1268
01:05:03.935 --> 01:05:07.365
roofs and the deed restrictions do not govern a specific

1269
01:05:07.765 --> 01:05:08.965
material that has to be used.

1270
01:05:09.345 --> 01:05:10.645
It just states in home units

1271
01:05:10.675 --> 01:05:13.405
that all roofing materials shall be approved.

1272
01:05:14.065 --> 01:05:16.445
Um, and then in the villas it just says

1273
01:05:16.445 --> 01:05:19.525
that any substantial change requires architectural approval.

1274
01:05:20.065 --> 01:05:22.845
So the Community Standard staff are requesting the Board

1275
01:05:22.845 --> 01:05:25.125
of Supervisors review the opportunity

1276
01:05:25.225 --> 01:05:27.365
to amend the Architectural Review manual

1277
01:05:27.865 --> 01:05:31.245
for Courtyard Villa Res Shingling to allow for colors

1278
01:05:31.795 --> 01:05:34.045
that closely resemble the original color

1279
01:05:34.065 --> 01:05:37.365
and are within the hue range of the original color.

1280
01:05:37.785 --> 01:05:39.245
And also to provide guidance

1281
01:05:39.345 --> 01:05:42.005
to the Architectural Review Committee regarding whether

1282
01:05:42.265 --> 01:05:44.365
to allow standing Sea metal roof

1283
01:05:44.785 --> 01:05:47.765
and update the Architectural review manual accordingly.

1284
01:05:48.225 --> 01:05:50.885
So, staff recommendation of staff request the Board

1285
01:05:50.885 --> 01:05:53.605
of Supervisors discuss these concerns

1286
01:05:53.665 --> 01:05:56.285
and provide direction to staff if they would like

1287
01:05:56.285 --> 01:05:59.165
to see these changes to the Architectural Review manual

1288
01:05:59.625 --> 01:06:02.325
to be brought back at your July 18th board meeting

1289
01:06:02.625 --> 01:06:05.925
to discuss those proposed changes and or for adoption.

1290
01:06:06.185 --> 01:06:08.045
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

1291
01:06:09.115 --> 01:06:12.765
Supervisors, I just had one question.

1292
01:06:12.825 --> 01:06:14.965
Did you, you include the metal roofs on this

1293
01:06:14.965 --> 01:06:16.085
when you were talking about that?

1294
01:06:16.825 --> 01:06:18.925
Yes. There should be two, uh, examples

1295
01:06:18.925 --> 01:06:20.125
of homes with metal roofs on them.

1296
01:06:20.425 --> 01:06:24.245
And if the metal roofs we approve here, uh, would

1297
01:06:24.245 --> 01:06:26.405
that affect, uh, regular houses?

1298
01:06:27.145 --> 01:06:29.445
Uh, uh, not at Courtyard Village?

1299
01:06:29.625 --> 01:06:32.485
Yes. The metal roofs are for area general, they're

1300
01:06:32.485 --> 01:06:34.045
for our homes villas.

1301
01:06:34.875 --> 01:06:36.285
It's just metal roofs in general.

1302
01:06:36.465 --> 01:06:38.965
The issue with that is your current manual does allow

1303
01:06:38.965 --> 01:06:41.365
for metal roofs, but what's been approved in the past

1304
01:06:41.465 --> 01:06:42.605
has been metal shingles.

1305
01:06:42.825 --> 01:06:44.285
So it gives the look of shingles.

1306
01:06:44.535 --> 01:06:46.325
We're getting more requests for this look,

1307
01:06:46.325 --> 01:06:49.165
which is the standing seam in the Architectural Review

1308
01:06:49.405 --> 01:06:53.045
Committee is, wants to be sure the board wants

1309
01:06:53.065 --> 01:06:55.685
to allow those type of roofs within their district.

1310
01:06:55.905 --> 01:06:58.165
So as of right now, the Architectural Review Committee

1311
01:06:58.275 --> 01:07:00.125
doesn't know whether or not to approve them.

1312
01:07:00.265 --> 01:07:01.685
So this would be to provide guidance

1313
01:07:01.745 --> 01:07:05.885
to them in district six, whether to not to allow, um,

1314
01:07:06.185 --> 01:07:07.325
the standing seam style.

1315
01:07:08.195 --> 01:07:11.365
This style of metal roof is already approved for

1316
01:07:12.125 --> 01:07:13.525
designer homes and single homes.

1317
01:07:14.395 --> 01:07:17.205
Well, your, um, your current manual states

1318
01:07:17.205 --> 01:07:18.845
that metal roofs are permitted,

1319
01:07:19.305 --> 01:07:20.885
but the only ones

1320
01:07:20.885 --> 01:07:23.325
that have been approved in the past have been the metal

1321
01:07:23.365 --> 01:07:25.925
shingles to where it looks like a shingle appearance.

1322
01:07:25.925 --> 01:07:29.085
Yes. But now we're starting to get requests for this style,

1323
01:07:29.185 --> 01:07:30.325
the standing seam.

1324
01:07:30.745 --> 01:07:34.925
And so the Architectural Review Committee is undecided.

1325
01:07:34.925 --> 01:07:36.925
They're having an issue. They're denying them

1326
01:07:37.035 --> 01:07:39.125
because they're unsure whether the boards want

1327
01:07:39.125 --> 01:07:40.325
to allow this style roof

1328
01:07:40.325 --> 01:07:41.925
because it does look different than the

1329
01:07:41.925 --> 01:07:43.325
typical shingled roof.

1330
01:07:45.365 --> 01:07:48.285
I have to assume the catch 22 is if we say yes on villas,

1331
01:07:48.825 --> 01:07:50.885
what's the logic for saying no on homes?

1332
01:07:51.795 --> 01:07:55.445
Yeah. And just we do have these type

1333
01:07:55.445 --> 01:07:57.925
of standing theme roofs on the commercial

1334
01:07:57.925 --> 01:08:00.005
properties in the villages, do we not? Yes, that

1335
01:08:00.005 --> 01:08:01.005
Is correct. And actually these

1336
01:08:01.005 --> 01:08:02.525
two harms are located

1337
01:08:02.525 --> 01:08:03.725
in District six as well.

1338
01:08:05.205 --> 01:08:07.245
I was gonna say, I actually have seen metal roos

1339
01:08:07.905 --> 01:08:10.045
in my village on houses.

1340
01:08:10.435 --> 01:08:13.005
Yeah. So there's really two questions

1341
01:08:13.005 --> 01:08:16.325
before us is one is to approve the change, uh,

1342
01:08:16.385 --> 01:08:19.045
in the ARC manual for the villas

1343
01:08:19.065 --> 01:08:22.205
and to advise staff on recommendations relative

1344
01:08:22.205 --> 01:08:23.645
to the the homes.

1345
01:08:23.755 --> 01:08:25.165
Correct. And we would bring back

1346
01:08:25.165 --> 01:08:26.525
the verbiage at your next board

1347
01:08:26.525 --> 01:08:27.525
Meeting. So there's only one

1348
01:08:27.525 --> 01:08:29.325
motion that's required in one direction.

1349
01:08:30.225 --> 01:08:31.845
So is there a motion? Nope,

1350
01:08:31.845 --> 01:08:33.045
There's no motion required.

1351
01:08:33.195 --> 01:08:37.725
Just concurrence from the board if you, if if you agree

1352
01:08:37.725 --> 01:08:39.845
with the proposed changes, staff will work

1353
01:08:39.845 --> 01:08:41.125
to incorporate them in the manual

1354
01:08:41.345 --> 01:08:44.165
and bring back the manual for formal approval next month

1355
01:08:44.675 --> 01:08:45.765
That require public hearing.

1356
01:08:47.025 --> 01:08:48.565
No. Okay. So it's just a board decision.

1357
01:08:49.105 --> 01:08:50.125
You have your direction.

1358
01:08:51.035 --> 01:08:52.365
Give us a pros and the cons

1359
01:08:52.465 --> 01:08:54.405
and, uh, at our next meeting. Okay.

1360
01:08:54.645 --> 01:08:55.645
Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you.

1361
01:08:56.785 --> 01:09:00.805
Moving right along. Okay. Okay.

1362
01:09:00.825 --> 01:09:04.765
One of the responsibilities that we have as supervisors is

1363
01:09:04.915 --> 01:09:07.165
that, uh, that we adopted a few years ago

1364
01:09:08.585 --> 01:09:10.765
was enforcements of our,

1365
01:09:10.865 --> 01:09:13.365
or excuse me, of the, the enforcement of the deed,

1366
01:09:13.845 --> 01:09:17.245
external deed compliances within, uh, the,

1367
01:09:17.245 --> 01:09:21.685
within our district, any complaints that, uh, are filed

1368
01:09:21.875 --> 01:09:24.565
with staff are looked at by staff.

1369
01:09:24.565 --> 01:09:26.125
They go out to determine whether

1370
01:09:26.125 --> 01:09:28.645
or not in fact there are any violations

1371
01:09:29.385 --> 01:09:31.485
of the external deed restrictions.

1372
01:09:32.225 --> 01:09:37.125
Uh, about 97 90 8% of the problems get resolved

1373
01:09:37.865 --> 01:09:39.605
by staff at that level.

1374
01:09:40.195 --> 01:09:44.445
However, there are times when the problems cannot be

1375
01:09:45.205 --> 01:09:46.525
resolved by staff.

1376
01:09:47.265 --> 01:09:50.885
And ultimately this board becomes the final, um,

1377
01:09:51.885 --> 01:09:55.925
enforcer, if you would, of the deed restrictions.

1378
01:09:56.635 --> 01:09:58.605
It's important to understand, for those of you

1379
01:09:58.625 --> 01:10:01.205
who this might be new to this, we are not here

1380
01:10:01.205 --> 01:10:03.645
to say whether or not we'd like or dislike something.

1381
01:10:04.905 --> 01:10:07.565
Our responsibility as a quasi judicial one

1382
01:10:07.815 --> 01:10:09.805
where we simply determine whether

1383
01:10:09.905 --> 01:10:13.725
or not the violation is a violation

1384
01:10:13.725 --> 01:10:15.205
of the restrictions or not.

1385
01:10:16.225 --> 01:10:17.565
And that, uh, if they are,

1386
01:10:17.635 --> 01:10:20.525
then it sets off a timeframe in which the

1387
01:10:20.525 --> 01:10:21.845
corrections have to be made.

1388
01:10:22.355 --> 01:10:24.405
Generally by the time they reach this point,

1389
01:10:24.775 --> 01:10:26.405
we've fairly well exhausted it

1390
01:10:26.405 --> 01:10:28.725
and are looking at potential legal actions.

1391
01:10:29.385 --> 01:10:33.325
Um, and while limited, uh, we are far more aggressive today

1392
01:10:33.325 --> 01:10:35.445
with that than we were even a few years ago.

1393
01:10:36.065 --> 01:10:39.965
So with that, we will hold public hearings on two different,

1394
01:10:40.185 --> 01:10:43.645
uh, uh, VI violations today.

1395
01:10:44.385 --> 01:10:46.405
And with that we'll turn staff over

1396
01:10:46.665 --> 01:10:51.365
for case six D 6 0 4 dash 25.

1397
01:10:52.185 --> 01:10:55.925
Uh, and uh, let's see. I opened also a good

1398
01:10:56.165 --> 01:10:57.165
Overview. I don't need to add

1399
01:10:57.165 --> 01:10:58.045
anything other than Oh, good.

1400
01:10:58.045 --> 01:10:59.605
If there's anyone here, well,

1401
01:10:59.605 --> 01:11:01.565
I get part of your salary for today's. You did it all

1402
01:11:01.565 --> 01:11:02.565
For me. I appreciate

1403
01:11:02.565 --> 01:11:04.765
it. Anybody here that's gonna testify?

1404
01:11:04.765 --> 01:11:06.205
If you please stand and raise your right hand.

1405
01:11:07.175 --> 01:11:09.355
Do you solemnly swear affirm that the testimony

and evidence you're about to

01:11:13.945 --> 01:11:14.945
Yes, I do.

1408
01:11:16.165 --> 01:11:18.805
I will call, I'll call to order the public hearing.

1409
01:11:19.515 --> 01:11:22.085
Good morning board Shannon Boyd Community Standards.

1410
01:11:22.095 --> 01:11:25.245
Today I have before you case number D six dash zero four

1411
01:11:25.245 --> 01:11:28.645
dash 25 Village Community Development District number six

1412
01:11:28.705 --> 01:11:30.485
versus Jack F Condor.

1413
01:11:30.905 --> 01:11:35.525
1 7 3 4 way unit 1, 2 7, lot 1 8 4.

1414
01:11:36.075 --> 01:11:37.565
Violation of the district's rule

1415
01:11:37.565 --> 01:11:39.005
to bring about deed compliance

1416
01:11:39.345 --> 01:11:40.485
and specifically the rule

1417
01:11:40.485 --> 01:11:43.085
that states owners shall keep their home sites meet

1418
01:11:43.085 --> 01:11:44.365
and clean and the grass cut,

1419
01:11:44.475 --> 01:11:46.205
irrigated and edged at all times.

1420
01:11:46.785 --> 01:11:49.285
The home site owners shall have the obligation to mowat

1421
01:11:49.285 --> 01:11:52.485
and maintain the unpaid area between an adjacent roadway

1422
01:11:52.625 --> 01:11:54.845
or walkway located in the road right

1423
01:11:54.845 --> 01:11:56.205
of way in the owner's home site.

1424
01:11:56.465 --> 01:11:58.925
If an owner does not adhere to the above regulation,

1425
01:11:59.115 --> 01:12:01.525
then the work may be performed on behalf of the owner

1426
01:12:01.745 --> 01:12:03.605
and the cost shall be charged to the owner.

1427
01:12:04.025 --> 01:12:06.405
As stated in the village Community Development District

1428
01:12:06.405 --> 01:12:09.845
number six, external deed restriction standards maintenance

1429
01:12:09.845 --> 01:12:11.885
shall mean the exercise of reasonable care

1430
01:12:12.105 --> 01:12:14.325
to keep buildings, landscape, lighting, lawns,

1431
01:12:14.325 --> 01:12:16.045
and other related improvements in

1432
01:12:16.045 --> 01:12:17.325
fixtures in good condition.

1433
01:12:17.865 --> 01:12:21.445
On February 14th, 2025, a complaint was received

1434
01:12:21.445 --> 01:12:24.445
regarding overgrown grass, weeds and overgrown trees.

1435
01:12:24.895 --> 01:12:27.805
Staff inspected the property and verified the weeds

1436
01:12:27.805 --> 01:12:29.965
and tree branches touching the eaves

1437
01:12:29.965 --> 01:12:31.445
of the home were in violation,

1438
01:12:31.665 --> 01:12:34.085
but the grass was not a deed restriction.

1439
01:12:34.245 --> 01:12:36.325
Reminder was written on February 20th.

1440
01:12:36.665 --> 01:12:39.085
The initial and second letters were sent on March 12th

1441
01:12:39.105 --> 01:12:40.125
and March 24th.

1442
01:12:40.425 --> 01:12:42.285
And after following the procedures of compliance

1443
01:12:42.285 --> 01:12:44.645
of external deed restrictions, a notice

1444
01:12:44.705 --> 01:12:46.525
of public hearing was sent by regular

1445
01:12:46.785 --> 01:12:50.805
and certified mail on April 10th and again on May 23rd.

1446
01:12:51.465 --> 01:12:53.605
The homeowner has been in contact with staff

1447
01:12:53.625 --> 01:12:55.125
and indicated he was attempting

1448
01:12:55.125 --> 01:12:56.885
to bring the property into compliance

1449
01:12:57.305 --> 01:12:58.645
by doing the work himself.

1450
01:12:58.945 --> 01:13:00.965
But due to medical and financial hardships,

1451
01:13:00.965 --> 01:13:03.285
he has been unable to maintain the property.

1452
01:13:03.945 --> 01:13:06.845
During staff's inspection of the property on June 5th,

1453
01:13:06.945 --> 01:13:08.845
it was determined that the property does

1454
01:13:08.845 --> 01:13:10.165
remain out of compliance.

1455
01:13:10.745 --> 01:13:13.925
During that inspection, the deed compliance officer was able

1456
01:13:13.925 --> 01:13:17.005
to speak with the homeowner, which he did state that

1457
01:13:17.025 --> 01:13:20.165
by June 10th the property should be brought into compliance.

1458
01:13:21.465 --> 01:13:23.205
The staff's recommendation would be

1459
01:13:23.245 --> 01:13:24.565
to find the owner in violation

1460
01:13:24.565 --> 01:13:26.125
of the district's de compliance rule.

1461
01:13:26.125 --> 01:13:29.565
As cited by the deed compliance staff owner has seven days

1462
01:13:29.625 --> 01:13:31.245
to remove the weeds to bring that portion

1463
01:13:31.265 --> 01:13:32.805
of the property into compliance.

1464
01:13:33.265 --> 01:13:34.445
If the weeds are removed

1465
01:13:34.445 --> 01:13:36.765
and that portion of the property is brought into compliance

1466
01:13:36.945 --> 01:13:40.125
within seven days of the order of enforcement, that portion

1467
01:13:40.145 --> 01:13:44.005
of case number D six dash zero four dash 25 shall be closed.

1468
01:13:44.505 --> 01:13:45.845

and that portion of the property is not brought into

1470
01:13:47.965 --> 01:13:51.045

1471
01:13:51.275 --> 01:13:53.685

1472
01:13:53.685 --> 01:13:56.725

01:14:00.025 --> 01:14:02.045
to be paid within 10 days of the invoice.

1475
01:14:02.395 --> 01:14:03.485

and oppose a $250 fine each time the

district maintains the property.

1480
01:14:13.185 --> 01:14:15.725
If the owner prohibits the district from maintaining the

1481
01:14:15.925 --> 01:14:18.325
property, then the owner shall be fined an initial amount

1482

1487

of the property into compliance.

1514
01:15:38.305 --> 01:15:40.365

or seeking an injunction against the property owner.

1521
01:15:55.665 --> 01:15:57.245
The property owner is responsible

1522
01:15:57.245 --> 01:15:59.725
for reimbursing the district for all attorney's fees, costs,

1523

And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

1532
01:16:20.355 --> 01:16:22.125
Okay, is there any member of the public

1533
01:16:22.125 --> 01:16:23.285
that wishes to speak to this?

1534
01:16:23.345 --> 01:16:25.005
If so, so please step forward

1535
01:16:25.145 --> 01:16:28.685
and, uh, be sworn in hearing none.

1536
01:16:28.715 --> 01:16:31.805
I'll close the public hearing and turn it over to the board.

1537
01:16:32.305 --> 01:16:34.525
Let me start by comment that, um,

1538
01:16:35.235 --> 01:16:38.845
because we are acting in an judicial forum,

1539
01:16:39.475 --> 01:16:41.725
this is the first time we have seen this information,

1540
01:16:41.905 --> 01:16:44.165
so it's not like we've had a chance to study it.

1541
01:16:44.185 --> 01:16:47.085
It again, that's, we're looking at the evidence presented

1542
01:16:47.305 --> 01:16:51.405
and determining whether or not it is, uh, in, um, is

1543
01:16:51.405 --> 01:16:52.605
or is not in compliance.

1544
01:16:52.605 --> 01:16:53.805
And we've been advised by staff

1545
01:16:53.805 --> 01:16:55.325
that it is not in compliance.

1546
01:16:56.565 --> 01:16:57.965
Questions, comments on part of the board,

1547
01:17:00.945 --> 01:17:05.005
if not a motion would be in order to move forward with the,

1548
01:17:05.065 --> 01:17:09.765
uh, just a motion to accept staff's recommendation.

1549
01:17:09.775 --> 01:17:12.405
Staff. Ma'am, I was looking for the numbers there.

1550
01:17:14.145 --> 01:17:17.165
Uh, I make a motion that we, uh, uh, support their

1551
01:17:17.445 --> 01:17:18.445
Decision.

1552
01:17:18.945 --> 01:17:22.205
Is there support? I second it. Okay. Any further discussion?

1553
01:17:22.205 --> 01:17:25.405
Hearing none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

1554
01:17:26.755 --> 01:17:29.565
Okay. Once again, for purposes, it's these, most

1555
01:17:29.565 --> 01:17:30.685
of these cases when they get

1556
01:17:30.685 --> 01:17:32.485
to us have been out there for a long time.

1557
01:17:33.175 --> 01:17:36.045
Staff has worked diligently to try to resolve them.

1558
01:17:36.705 --> 01:17:40.365
Um, and as someone alluded to earlier in, in part

1559
01:17:40.365 --> 01:17:41.885
of the discussion, there are some cases

1560
01:17:42.275 --> 01:17:44.325
that are very difficult where people have

1561
01:17:45.405 --> 01:17:46.525
actually moved away because

1562
01:17:46.545 --> 01:17:48.005
of age and things of that nature.

1563
01:17:48.025 --> 01:17:49.765
Family have not been maintaining it.

1564
01:17:50.265 --> 01:17:51.885
But another comment that someone made

1565
01:17:51.885 --> 01:17:53.005
earlier has to do that.

1566
01:17:53.005 --> 01:17:54.485
One of our responsibilities is

1567
01:17:54.485 --> 01:17:56.045
to protect the overall property values.

1568
01:17:56.625 --> 01:17:59.045
And one of the things that protects our property values is

1569
01:17:59.045 --> 01:18:01.325
that our neighbors, as well as us are, are

1570
01:18:02.005 --> 01:18:03.885
maintaining our ties and in such a way

1571
01:18:03.885 --> 01:18:05.725
that they are in fact, uh,

1572
01:18:06.205 --> 01:18:07.365
maintaining help maintain the value.

1573
01:18:07.465 --> 01:18:09.165
So that's one of the considerations.

1574
01:18:09.595 --> 01:18:14.205
With that, we have a second public hearing. Uh, counsel?

1575
01:18:15.625 --> 01:18:17.485
Yes sir. No, uh, need for another overview,

1576
01:18:17.585 --> 01:18:19.125
but if there's anyone here who's gonna testify,

1577
01:18:19.125 --> 01:18:23.125
if you please stand and raise your right hand and Ms.

1578
01:18:23.185 --> 01:18:24.205
Boyd's already been sworn

1579
01:18:24.205 --> 01:18:25.765
so we can open the public hearing. Okay.

1580
01:18:25.765 --> 01:18:26.765
We'll open the public hearing.

1581
01:18:27.355 --> 01:18:29.805
Good morning, Boyd Shannon Boyd, community Standards.

1582
01:18:30.335 --> 01:18:33.405

1587
01:18:49.405 --> 01:18:51.605
of the district's rule to bring about deed compliance.

1588
01:18:51.945 --> 01:18:53.125
And specifically the rule

1589
01:18:53.125 --> 01:18:54.685
that states owners shall keep

1590
01:18:54.685 --> 01:18:56.125
their homicides neat and clean.

1591
01:18:56.465 --> 01:18:58.805
As stated in the Village Community Development District

1592
01:18:58.805 --> 01:19:02.325
number six, external deep restriction standards maintenance

1593
01:19:02.325 --> 01:19:04.245
shall mean the exercise of reasonable care

1594
01:19:04.545 --> 01:19:06.685
to keep buildings, landscape, lighting, lawns,

1595
01:19:06.685 --> 01:19:08.285
and other related improvements in

1596
01:19:08.285 --> 01:19:09.885
fixtures in good condition.

1597
01:19:10.305 --> 01:19:12.165
On March 10th, 2025,

1598
01:19:12.405 --> 01:19:15.245
a complaint was received about mold on the home driveway.

1599
01:19:15.315 --> 01:19:18.485
Walkway in rear patio staff inspected the property

1600
01:19:18.485 --> 01:19:20.005
and verified the violations

1601
01:19:20.415 --> 01:19:23.325
after staff was unable to make contact with the homeowner.

1602
01:19:23.645 --> 01:19:26.325
A deed restriction reminder was written on April 3rd.

1603
01:19:26.785 --> 01:19:29.325
The initial and second letters were sent out on April 11th

1604
01:19:29.385 --> 01:19:30.445
and April 25th.

1605
01:19:30.665 --> 01:19:32.725
And after following the procedures of compliance

1606
01:19:32.725 --> 01:19:34.725
of external deed restrictions, a notice

1607
01:19:34.725 --> 01:19:36.445
of public hearing was sent by regular

1608
01:19:36.585 --> 01:19:38.445
and certified male on May 9th.

1609
01:19:39.105 --> 01:19:40.725
The property owner is deceased.

1610
01:19:40.975 --> 01:19:43.605
Staff spoke to James Fountain, uh,

1611
01:19:43.605 --> 01:19:46.485
the deceased owner's grandson who confirmed that he

1612
01:19:46.585 --> 01:19:49.245
and his mother are the beneficiaries of the trust.

1613
01:19:49.585 --> 01:19:52.325
He explained that his mother resides in a Tennessee nursing

1614
01:19:52.325 --> 01:19:54.165
home while he lives in Georgia.

1615
01:19:54.705 --> 01:19:56.685
He was one uncertain about who

1616
01:19:56.705 --> 01:19:59.325
or how the property would be brought into compliance.

1617
01:19:59.655 --> 01:20:01.205
Staff has tried to contact Mr.

1618
01:20:01.545 --> 01:20:03.165
FTA for an update on the property,

1619
01:20:03.345 --> 01:20:05.565
but I have not had a response as of today.

1620
01:20:05.905 --> 01:20:08.365
During an inspection of the property on June 4th,

1621
01:20:08.505 --> 01:20:09.925
it was determined that the property

1622
01:20:09.925 --> 01:20:11.245
remains out of compliance.

1623
01:20:11.835 --> 01:20:13.325
Staff's recommendation would be

1624
01:20:13.425 --> 01:20:14.845
to find the owner in violation

1625
01:20:14.845 --> 01:20:16.565
of the district's deed compliance rule.

1626
01:20:16.785 --> 01:20:20.005
As cited by the deed compliance staff owner has seven days

1627
01:20:20.025 --> 01:20:21.525
to remove the mold from the home site

1628
01:20:21.525 --> 01:20:23.085
to bring the property into compliance.

1629
01:20:23.665 --> 01:20:25.565
If the mold is removed from the home site

1630
01:20:25.565 --> 01:20:27.085
and the property is brought into compliance,

1631
01:20:27.085 --> 01:20:29.285
within seven days of the order of enforcement,

1632
01:20:29.675 --> 01:20:33.245
case number D six dash zero five dash 25 shall be closed.

1633
01:20:33.785 --> 01:20:35.165
If the mold is not removed

1634
01:20:35.185 --> 01:20:38.125
and the property is not brought into compliance within seven

1635
01:20:38.125 --> 01:20:40.885
days of the order of enforcement, authorize the district

1636
01:20:40.885 --> 01:20:42.045
to maintain the property

1637
01:20:42.305 --> 01:20:45.085
and impose $150 per maintenance hour.

1638
01:20:45.155 --> 01:20:47.805
Fine, plus a hundred dollars administrative fee

1639
01:20:48.665 --> 01:20:50.645
to be paid within 10 days of the invoice.

1640
01:20:51.025 --> 01:20:53.445
If the owner prohibits the district from maintaining the

1641
01:20:53.645 --> 01:20:56.085
property, then the owner shall be fined an initial amount

1642
01:20:56.085 --> 01:20:57.325
of $150

1643
01:20:57.625 --> 01:20:59.485
and an additional $50 per day

1644
01:20:59.485 --> 01:21:01.445
until the property is brought into compliance.

1645
01:21:01.985 --> 01:21:04.645
If the owner, if the property is not brought into compliance

1646
01:21:04.705 --> 01:21:07.245
as required herein, staff shall record this order

1647
01:21:07.265 --> 01:21:09.765
of enforcement and claim of lien in the public records

1648
01:21:09.865 --> 01:21:11.045

1649
01:21:11.545 --> 01:21:13.205
as the property owner's responsibility

1650
01:21:13.265 --> 01:21:15.365
to contact the Community Standards Department

1651
01:21:15.505 --> 01:21:18.125
to request a deed compliance officer revisit the property

1652
01:21:18.125 --> 01:21:19.405
and confirm compliance.

1653
01:21:19.865 --> 01:21:22.805
If the fine reach $1,500, the case shall be turned over

1654
01:21:22.805 --> 01:21:25.565
to district counsel to seek all available remedies,

1655
01:21:25.565 --> 01:21:27.165
which may include initiating a lawsuit

1656
01:21:27.505 --> 01:21:29.765
and seeking an injunction against the property owner.

1657
01:21:30.185 --> 01:21:31.965
The property owner is responsible

1658
01:21:31.965 --> 01:21:34.365
for reimbursing the district's for all attorney's fees,

1659
01:21:34.365 --> 01:21:36.725
costs, and expenses associated with

1660
01:21:36.745 --> 01:21:40.165
or related to this Order of Enforcement claim of lien.

1661
01:21:40.425 --> 01:21:42.165
If the property is brought into compliance

1662
01:21:42.185 --> 01:21:44.885
and all fines are paid, the Chairman authorizes staff

1663
01:21:44.905 --> 01:21:47.325
to execute and record a satisfaction

1664
01:21:47.325 --> 01:21:49.405
and release of claim of Lien Chairman

1665
01:21:49.425 --> 01:21:51.005
to execute the Order of Enforcement.

1666
01:21:51.005 --> 01:21:52.885
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

1667
01:21:55.055 --> 01:21:57.405
Thank you. Is any member of the public who wish to speak

01:22:00.145 --> 01:22:01.205

1670
01:22:02.665 --> 01:22:03.605
Yes ma'am. If you'd like

1671
01:22:03.605 --> 01:22:04.725
to speak to it, please step forward.

1672
01:22:04.725 --> 01:22:06.245
Give us your name and address please.

1673
01:22:06.825 --> 01:22:09.325
She also needs to be sworn in. Needs to be sworn in. Yes.

1674
01:22:11.345 --> 01:22:14.285
Do you solemnly swear and or affirm that the testimony

1675
01:22:14.285 --> 01:22:17.085
and evidence to your hearing today will be the truth,

1676
01:22:17.085 --> 01:22:18.165
the whole truth, and nothing but

1677
01:22:18.165 --> 01:22:19.165
The truth? I do.

1678
01:22:19.165 --> 01:22:22.645
Uh, Joanne Casement six 10 Little River Path.

1679
01:22:23.045 --> 01:22:24.765
I live down the street and across the street.

1680
01:22:25.265 --> 01:22:28.405
Um, name it is my understanding that, uh,

1681
01:22:28.515 --> 01:22:32.205
community standards has been, uh, trying to take care

1682
01:22:32.205 --> 01:22:34.085
of this since 2024.

1683
01:22:34.795 --> 01:22:37.605
It's been empty since before 2019.

1684
01:22:38.465 --> 01:22:41.605
Um, and I think they're in arrears

1685
01:22:41.605 --> 01:22:44.805
for the care you're supposed to be giving them since 2024.

1686
01:22:45.465 --> 01:22:48.245
Um, so nothing's been done.

1687
01:22:49.105 --> 01:22:51.205
Can you give us your name and address? Joanne

1688
01:22:51.365 --> 01:22:53.605
Casement, like basement, but with a C

1689
01:22:54.065 --> 01:22:55.845
and I'm at six 10 Little River Path.

1690
01:22:55.975 --> 01:22:59.285
Thank you. So this has been a issue for quite some time.

1691
01:23:00.115 --> 01:23:02.325
Yeah. And this, and this hearing keep in mind is just

1692
01:23:02.425 --> 01:23:04.765
to determine whether the property's in compliance or

1693
01:23:04.765 --> 01:23:05.925
Not and give, um,

1694
01:23:05.995 --> 01:23:08.005
community standards in the district the ability

1695
01:23:08.145 --> 01:23:10.085
to maintain to the extent they can. Yep.

1696
01:23:10.355 --> 01:23:12.645
Okay. And another issue beside the mold,

1697
01:23:12.645 --> 01:23:13.685
which is unsightly,

1698
01:23:13.795 --> 01:23:16.245
there's a large live oak in the property.

1699
01:23:16.665 --> 01:23:18.725
Um, the water has been turned off,

1700
01:23:18.845 --> 01:23:20.685
I believe there's no irrigation

1701
01:23:21.545 --> 01:23:24.245
and the, uh, tree roots are coming up into the neighbor's

1702
01:23:24.485 --> 01:23:26.405
driveway and screwing up the driveway.

1703
01:23:26.465 --> 01:23:28.445
So there's a lot of other issues with this house

1704
01:23:28.465 --> 01:23:29.925
as well. Thank you. Thank you.

1705
01:23:30.635 --> 01:23:32.805
Okay. Anyone else wish to speak to that from the public?

1706
01:23:33.105 --> 01:23:34.725
If not, I'll close the public hearing,

1707
01:23:34.755 --> 01:23:35.805
turn it over to the board.

1708
01:23:36.425 --> 01:23:39.245
Uh, let me offer just a comment as that

1709
01:23:40.825 --> 01:23:43.805
we know in many of these cases that there is a,

1710
01:23:43.965 --> 01:23:45.805
a fairly long period of time.

1711
01:23:46.745 --> 01:23:51.645
Um, I think as a board we're as frustrated as, uh,

1712
01:23:51.645 --> 01:23:55.125
some of the residents are, but this is a statutory

1713
01:23:55.265 --> 01:23:57.805
and judicial process that we have to follow.

1714
01:23:58.665 --> 01:24:01.805
Uh, we lean on our council to move as quickly as we can

1715
01:24:01.865 --> 01:24:05.605
and he keeps reminding us that there are a number of steps

1716
01:24:05.605 --> 01:24:06.725
that we have to go through.

1717
01:24:07.465 --> 01:24:10.285
Uh, I think it's one of the unfortunate situations that we,

1718
01:24:10.345 --> 01:24:11.645
we face as probably,

1719
01:24:12.225 --> 01:24:15.925
and I hate to say this, as our district begins to age, uh,

1720
01:24:16.055 --> 01:24:19.125
we'll probably see, you know, some, some

1721
01:24:19.465 --> 01:24:20.725
of these types of things.

1722
01:24:21.665 --> 01:24:23.685
We move as quickly as we can, trying to work

1723
01:24:23.685 --> 01:24:24.845
with both the resident

1724
01:24:25.025 --> 01:24:28.485
and what we can do within the statutes and judicial process.

1725
01:24:30.675 --> 01:24:32.365
Okay. Motion would be in order.

1726
01:24:32.925 --> 01:24:34.805
I got a quick, quick administrative thing.

1727
01:24:35.475 --> 01:24:37.405
Just wanna make sure our numbers are correct.

1728
01:24:38.225 --> 01:24:42.845
Uh, the page provided by the district. Uh, uh, uh,

1729
01:24:43.025 --> 01:24:44.085
Yes. The front page is,

1730
01:24:44.305 --> 01:24:45.305
The front page is wrong.

1731
01:24:45.345 --> 01:24:47.605
So, correct. So we are now voting on is

1732
01:24:48.515 --> 01:24:50.845
0 6 0 5 25.

1733
01:24:51.065 --> 01:24:52.645
You are correct? Yes sir. And the last one was

1734
01:24:52.645 --> 01:24:54.165
0 6 0 4 5 0 4?

1735
01:24:54.165 --> 01:24:55.765
Yes, sir. Okay. Yes, that thank

1736
01:24:56.265 --> 01:24:57.265
Is that a motion?

1737
01:24:57.845 --> 01:25:00.605
I have a motion to, uh, approve the staff recommendation.

1738
01:25:00.785 --> 01:25:04.165
Is this part second motion Any further discussion?

1739
01:25:04.165 --> 01:25:07.085
Hearing none. All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Aye.

1740
01:25:07.295 --> 01:25:08.925
Thank you board. Alright.

1741
01:25:09.225 --> 01:25:10.565
Um, I'd like to move quickly

1742
01:25:10.765 --> 01:25:13.045
'cause we have a couple of other major items that we can't.

1743
01:25:13.145 --> 01:25:15.885
Yes. Um, just real quickly on old business,

1744
01:25:15.885 --> 01:25:17.565
think the main thing that we have there

1745
01:25:18.185 --> 01:25:21.245
is we are at our July meeting, we'll be talking about

1746
01:25:21.825 --> 01:25:24.685
how we will be represented on the ARC Committee. Is that

1747
01:25:24.685 --> 01:25:25.685
Correct? Yes. We are

1748
01:25:25.685 --> 01:25:27.285
advertising for that public hearing

1749
01:25:27.785 --> 01:25:30.045
for an effective date of October one to move to

1750
01:25:30.585 --> 01:25:32.605
an architectural review hearing officer

1751
01:25:33.215 --> 01:25:35.045
Again for the public that are with us today.

1752
01:25:35.185 --> 01:25:37.285
Uh, again, thank you. Uh, we have the option

1753
01:25:37.285 --> 01:25:39.485
of having a member of the board, uh, be part

1754
01:25:39.485 --> 01:25:40.925
of the architectural Review Committee

1755
01:25:41.305 --> 01:25:44.365
or as other, uh, districts have,

1756
01:25:44.365 --> 01:25:45.645
they have brought in professionals

1757
01:25:45.665 --> 01:25:46.885
to represent that interest.

1758
01:25:47.385 --> 01:25:49.765
And it, uh, we gave a strong consideration to that

1759
01:25:49.865 --> 01:25:52.445
and we'll be looking at that in, in, uh,

1760
01:25:52.625 --> 01:25:54.805
uh, at our July meeting.

1761
01:25:55.195 --> 01:25:57.285
Okay. Any other old business to take care of

1762
01:25:57.605 --> 01:25:58.605
Brittany? Uh, no.

1763
01:25:58.605 --> 01:26:00.885
And the next, uh, item five A

1764
01:26:00.885 --> 01:26:02.325
through C is informational items.

1765
01:26:02.505 --> 01:26:03.845
Yes. Unless there's any questions

1766
01:26:04.555 --> 01:26:06.685
Here, if there are any questions, we can take them off.

1767
01:26:06.685 --> 01:26:08.685
Otherwise, these are pretty standard

1768
01:26:08.685 --> 01:26:09.765
items that we deal with.

1769
01:26:10.065 --> 01:26:11.245
Unless there's discussion,

1770
01:26:11.265 --> 01:26:13.365
the board members have had a chance to look at 'em.

1771
01:26:13.865 --> 01:26:16.405
We just receive them. Yes. Okay.

1772
01:26:16.745 --> 01:26:19.365
Moving along to the district manager's report,

1773
01:26:20.105 --> 01:26:21.365
and this is kind of a big one,

1774
01:26:21.365 --> 01:26:25.005
and hopefully Brittany can get us there quickly. Yes.

1775
01:26:25.465 --> 01:26:27.325
Um, so included within your, uh,

1776
01:26:27.325 --> 01:26:30.845
agenda package today is a proposal for the district to move

1777
01:26:30.905 --> 01:26:33.285
to a one week meeting schedule.

1778
01:26:33.705 --> 01:26:36.525
Um, and that consolidates a little over eight worth

1779
01:26:36.525 --> 01:26:38.445
of meetings and to, to one week.

1780
01:26:39.065 --> 01:26:41.805
Um, running them concurrently at various locations

1781
01:26:41.905 --> 01:26:45.325
and ensuring that we do not have attorney conflicts, uh,

1782
01:26:45.385 --> 01:26:47.565
for representation at those meetings.

1783
01:26:48.505 --> 01:26:52.885
Um, our request for this board is to consider a date

1784
01:26:52.945 --> 01:26:55.845
and time change that would be effective October one.

1785
01:26:56.425 --> 01:27:00.085
Um, so as presented on the schedule,

1786
01:27:00.385 --> 01:27:03.765
we would be looking at 10:00 AM on the Tuesday

1787
01:27:04.105 --> 01:27:05.325
before the second Friday,

1788
01:27:05.745 --> 01:27:08.445
and still maintaining your meeting location at Sea Breeze.

1789
01:27:09.185 --> 01:27:10.885
Um, with that said, um,

1790
01:27:10.885 --> 01:27:13.165
understanding there may be some conflicts.

1791
01:27:13.165 --> 01:27:17.245
We do have flexibility on Wednesday.

1792
01:27:18.105 --> 01:27:20.845
Um, it would be Wednesday from

1793
01:27:21.705 --> 01:27:24.605
1130 on that we would have room

1794
01:27:24.625 --> 01:27:26.845
for adjustment based on some other changes

1795
01:27:26.955 --> 01:27:28.085
from other boards.

1796
01:27:28.585 --> 01:27:31.005
Um, this would free up the facilities back

1797
01:27:31.005 --> 01:27:32.605
to resident lifestyle groups.

1798
01:27:33.105 --> 01:27:35.645
Um, because when we, when we schedule these meetings,

1799
01:27:35.785 --> 01:27:37.085
we do book them out in advance.

1800
01:27:37.185 --> 01:27:38.405
It does have some impact.

1801
01:27:38.615 --> 01:27:41.245
We're trying to mitigate that as we continue to grow.

1802
01:27:41.905 --> 01:27:44.245
Um, and just make sure that we're providing you the best

1803
01:27:44.525 --> 01:27:48.725
services with having, um, more than three weeks in

1804
01:27:48.725 --> 01:27:52.485
between meetings to, um, you know, perform any analysis,

1805
01:27:52.825 --> 01:27:54.965
budget development, things of that nature.

1806
01:27:55.545 --> 01:27:57.845
Um, so with that, I'll turn it over to the board

1807
01:27:57.865 --> 01:28:00.645
for discussion and, um, any feedback that you have.

1808
01:28:01.505 --> 01:28:05.085
So in essence, the question is the change if we change

1809
01:28:05.755 --> 01:28:08.885
this Tuesday or Wednesday work best.

1810
01:28:09.365 --> 01:28:12.125
I suppose when you start introducing five schedules into it,

1811
01:28:12.235 --> 01:28:14.645
it's, uh, always a challenge.

1812
01:28:16.405 --> 01:28:20.365
Questions, comments, help? I have no reservations.

1813
01:28:20.395 --> 01:28:25.045
It's good for me. E either, either or both. I'm flexible.

1814
01:28:25.965 --> 01:28:27.565
I can go with it. Whatever way you guys want to go.

1815
01:28:27.595 --> 01:28:29.165
Good to hear it, Gordon. Except Thursday.

1816
01:28:29.705 --> 01:28:31.085
Except for Thursday. Okay.

1817
01:28:32.025 --> 01:28:36.005
Sounds like golf day and Monday's. Between and Saturdays.

1818
01:28:36.235 --> 01:28:38.645
Yeah. They sound like golf day Thursday.

1819
01:28:38.645 --> 01:28:40.125
Yeah, I have constraints.

1820
01:28:40.125 --> 01:28:44.125
Yeah, tweet, do you have a preference? No preference, no.

1821
01:28:44.225 --> 01:28:45.365
No preference. Okay.

1822
01:28:45.545 --> 01:28:49.725
Uh, as an individual, I would prefer the Wednesdays to, uh,

1823
01:28:49.745 --> 01:28:52.355
to the Tuesday if that, um,

1824
01:28:54.405 --> 01:28:55.835
works for everyone else.

1825
01:28:57.935 --> 01:28:59.435
And now we have choice of time.

1826
01:29:01.265 --> 01:29:04.485
Yes. So District 10 has actually moved up

1827
01:29:04.585 --> 01:29:08.285
to the 10:00 AM slot based on the, the document

1828
01:29:08.285 --> 01:29:09.445
that you have in your package.

1829
01:29:10.465 --> 01:29:15.125
Um, so that leaves district nine starting at 11:30 AM

1830
01:29:15.125 --> 01:29:16.885
However, they did have flexibility

1831
01:29:17.825 --> 01:29:21.125
to move their meeting anytime between 1130

1832
01:29:21.305 --> 01:29:24.085
and later in the afternoon essentially.

1833
01:29:24.465 --> 01:29:27.245
So if there's a particular time, we have some flexibility

1834
01:29:27.265 --> 01:29:30.325
for adjustment after 1130 on that Wednesday.

1835
01:29:31.995 --> 01:29:34.205
Preferences, um,

1836
01:29:35.725 --> 01:29:38.365
I prefer, um, later in the afternoon if

1837
01:29:38.605 --> 01:29:40.725
possible, around two or

1838
01:29:42.195 --> 01:29:44.285
Wednesday afternoons. Mm-hmm.

1839
01:29:44.405 --> 01:29:47.485
We can do, we can do 2:00 PM on Wednesday afternoons

1840
01:29:47.505 --> 01:29:49.845
or one 30, either one 30 or 2:00 PM

1841
01:29:51.865 --> 01:29:53.165
Now you have to find, so two,

1842
01:29:53.185 --> 01:29:56.365
2:00 PM Have a vote for 2:00 PM

1843
01:29:57.745 --> 01:29:59.565
Who, who, who, who gave you a vote?

1844
01:29:59.805 --> 01:30:03.085
Brittany? I'm, I'm looking at staff over here.

1845
01:30:03.225 --> 01:30:06.165
I'm, I'm failing the arrows in my back staff. Okay.

1846
01:30:06.985 --> 01:30:08.765
Uh, that would still be at Sea Breeze?

1847
01:30:09.385 --> 01:30:11.645
Yes. The same exact meeting. Um, location.

1848
01:30:11.955 --> 01:30:13.125
Just the different day and time.

1849
01:30:13.585 --> 01:30:16.365
So it would be, um, the Wednesday

1850
01:30:16.365 --> 01:30:19.285
before the second Friday at 2:00 PM So

1851
01:30:19.285 --> 01:30:20.645
Wouldn't that be the second Wednesday?

1852
01:30:21.315 --> 01:30:24.525
Unfortunately, the calendar doesn't always fall like that.

1853
01:30:24.985 --> 01:30:27.925
So we, we have to say before the second Friday. Okay.

1854
01:30:28.065 --> 01:30:32.205
So we're looking at one o'clock, two o'clock what?

1855
01:30:32.465 --> 01:30:35.205
2:00 PM We're looking at 2:00 PM on Wednesdays. Yes.

1856
01:30:35.455 --> 01:30:39.725
Would be our choice if it works into the schedule.

1857
01:30:39.905 --> 01:30:41.845
Boy, that was easier than I thought it was going to be.

1858
01:30:42.825 --> 01:30:45.365
So if, if you are all comfortable with that,

1859
01:30:45.585 --> 01:30:48.565
we can go ahead and take a motion to implement that into

1860
01:30:49.465 --> 01:30:52.285
the, the, the schedule and bring that back.

1861
01:30:52.505 --> 01:30:54.245
We hold on and see if a better deal comes along.

1862
01:30:56.275 --> 01:30:59.765
Yeah, I'm fine if that works.

1863
01:30:59.895 --> 01:31:03.405
We'll, so lemme get the motion would be, uh, we motion

1864
01:31:03.785 --> 01:31:07.485
for us to meet at 2:00 PM on the second Wednesday

1865
01:31:08.105 --> 01:31:11.005
before the second Friday of the month. Is that

1866
01:31:11.005 --> 01:31:12.005
It? The Wednesday before

1867
01:31:12.005 --> 01:31:12.805
the second Friday.

1868
01:31:12.985 --> 01:31:14.845
The Wednesday before the second Friday

1869
01:31:14.905 --> 01:31:16.405
of the month at 2:00 PM Yep.

1870
01:31:16.585 --> 01:31:18.045
Gordon, I'm glad you said that

1871
01:31:18.065 --> 01:31:19.325
and didn't leave it for me to do.

1872
01:31:20.665 --> 01:31:22.685
Is there support to whatever Gordon said.

1873
01:31:24.005 --> 01:31:25.125
I second what Gordon said.

1874
01:31:26.265 --> 01:31:30.885
All in favor say aye. Aye. I give you some direction now.

1875
01:31:30.905 --> 01:31:32.005
Yes. Thank you. Okay. That was,

1876
01:31:32.435 --> 01:31:34.725
that was much easier than I thought it was going to be.

1877
01:31:34.995 --> 01:31:37.925
Okay. District council? Yes sir.

1878
01:31:38.395 --> 01:31:40.645
I've got two Reports. I figured you did

1879
01:31:40.645 --> 01:31:42.245
ethics training and, well, I'll

1880
01:31:42.245 --> 01:31:43.245
Go with the second one first. And it

1881
01:31:43.245 --> 01:31:44.245
has to do with arc attendants.

1882
01:31:44.245 --> 01:31:46.485
It should be an easy one. Since you're considering going

1883
01:31:46.545 --> 01:31:48.965
to the, uh, hearing officer, um,

1884
01:31:48.965 --> 01:31:50.045
with the new scheduled change

1885
01:31:50.065 --> 01:31:53.405
and meetings taking place on Wednesdays, um, I am looking

1886
01:31:53.545 --> 01:31:56.765
for whether you are interested in me no longer attending the

1887
01:31:56.765 --> 01:31:58.325
architectural review committee meetings.

1888
01:31:58.985 --> 01:32:02.805
Um, which so far everyone has agreed to that.

1889
01:32:03.385 --> 01:32:07.565
Um, the reason being, I rarely say anything when I'm there.

1890
01:32:07.565 --> 01:32:09.085
There are not very many legal issues

1891
01:32:09.085 --> 01:32:10.765
that come up in the event.

1892
01:32:10.765 --> 01:32:11.845
There are legal issues.

1893
01:32:12.045 --> 01:32:14.045
I always work with community standards to address those.

1894
01:32:14.465 --> 01:32:17.125
So we would be looking at addressing any issues

1895
01:32:17.145 --> 01:32:19.045
before the meetings if they were to occur.

1896
01:32:20.145 --> 01:32:21.565
If anything happens during the meeting,

1897
01:32:21.565 --> 01:32:24.085
they will table the application to the following Wednesday,

1898
01:32:24.295 --> 01:32:27.885
which time I would meet with, with, uh, district staff and,

1899
01:32:27.885 --> 01:32:29.445
and make a determination and let them know

1900
01:32:29.445 --> 01:32:30.725
what they need to do with the application.

1901
01:32:31.525 --> 01:32:34.165
I, I think that probably is a reasonable request on part

1902
01:32:34.165 --> 01:32:36.445
of staff, uh, and of, of our attorney.

1903
01:32:37.185 --> 01:32:39.205
So if every board, everybody's on board with that.

1904
01:32:40.155 --> 01:32:42.685
Yeah, no objections to that. I no objections.

1905
01:32:42.865 --> 01:32:45.205
If there's any legal issues, they always get iron out

1906
01:32:45.205 --> 01:32:47.405
before, before they get to us anyway, so

1907
01:32:47.875 --> 01:32:48.875
They do. And if there's

1908
01:32:48.875 --> 01:32:50.245
any legal issues, um,

1909
01:32:50.265 --> 01:32:52.725
at the committee on the date itself, um, they know

1910
01:32:52.725 --> 01:32:54.645
that they can reach out to me and,

1911
01:32:54.645 --> 01:32:55.685
and we'll resolve it. So.

1912
01:32:55.875 --> 01:32:58.205
Good. Okay. Uh, the other item is just a reminder

1913
01:32:58.205 --> 01:33:00.685
that there are two more training sessions for Sunshine Law,

1914
01:33:00.685 --> 01:33:01.765
public records and ethics.

1915
01:33:02.265 --> 01:33:05.725
The next one's August 18 at 1:30 PM at the district office.

1916
01:33:05.865 --> 01:33:08.725
And the other is October 27th at one

1917
01:33:08.725 --> 01:33:09.925
30 at the district office.

1918
01:33:10.065 --> 01:33:11.845
If you need hours, you can attend either

1919
01:33:11.865 --> 01:33:13.045
one of those or both.

1920
01:33:14.305 --> 01:33:16.965
And for our new supervisor, I think you're aware that, uh,

1921
01:33:17.465 --> 01:33:20.125
we have an obligation for what, four hours? Four

1922
01:33:20.125 --> 01:33:21.165
Hours per year? Per

1923
01:33:21.425 --> 01:33:22.425
Per year.

1924
01:33:23.185 --> 01:33:26.125
All elected officials except the people in the legislature.

1925
01:33:26.805 --> 01:33:28.005
I, I always have to get that in.

1926
01:33:28.705 --> 01:33:32.445
Uh, the only people excluded from it are the are House

1927
01:33:32.465 --> 01:33:34.805
of Representatives and our senators at the state.

1928
01:33:35.585 --> 01:33:38.085
Um, but there are a number of ways that it can be satisfied.

1929
01:33:38.305 --> 01:33:40.005
And Mr. Chairman, we will be setting up

1930
01:33:40.005 --> 01:33:41.165
an orientation with Mr.

1931
01:33:41.525 --> 01:33:43.845
Edgar to provide all district six items

1932
01:33:44.025 --> 01:33:46.205
and any type of, um, training requirements.

1933
01:33:46.745 --> 01:33:47.965
And there will be a quiz. Perfect.

1934
01:33:48.005 --> 01:33:51.725
There'll be a quiz afterwards, so, okay. Thank you.

1935
01:33:52.105 --> 01:33:56.925
Do I have to pass? We'll give you several chances to pass.

1936
01:33:57.755 --> 01:34:00.885
Okay. Moving right along to, uh, uh, project Y.

1937
01:34:03.555 --> 01:34:05.405
Nothing to report. I think the biggest thing

1938
01:34:05.405 --> 01:34:06.725
that came out project wide was

1939
01:34:06.725 --> 01:34:07.805
the change of the, it's Monday.

1940
01:34:07.905 --> 01:34:09.845
So the after, after

1941
01:34:09.845 --> 01:34:10.845
Monday I'll Report.

1942
01:34:10.905 --> 01:34:15.445
Oh, okay. So we had no, no official representative report.

1943
01:34:15.665 --> 01:34:18.085
Is there anything from PA that we're we need to be aware

1944
01:34:18.085 --> 01:34:19.445
of other than what we passed on?

1945
01:34:23.145 --> 01:34:24.165
I'm looking at you, Bri. So

1946
01:34:25.175 --> 01:34:27.165
There were just a few items discussed.

1947
01:34:27.545 --> 01:34:31.005
Um, the, a resident did attend, um, requesting consideration

1948
01:34:31.065 --> 01:34:34.605
for an area guest passes be extended to include siblings.

1949
01:34:34.865 --> 01:34:36.445
Um, but as many of you are aware

1950
01:34:36.445 --> 01:34:38.765
that policy was reviewed by a resident group.

1951
01:34:39.225 --> 01:34:44.085
Um, and it's very specific to, um, what that applies

1952
01:34:44.105 --> 01:34:46.885
to in terms of accessing amenity facilities.

1953
01:34:47.105 --> 01:34:52.085
Um, as far as the project wide fund goes, um, the,

1954
01:34:52.425 --> 01:34:54.005
the proposed budget was approved.

1955
01:34:54.745 --> 01:34:58.245
Um, aside from that,

1956
01:35:00.465 --> 01:35:02.925
uh, they're under, under old business predominantly

1957
01:35:02.945 --> 01:35:04.125
for the amenities division.

1958
01:35:04.345 --> 01:35:07.165
Um, we continue to look at ID checking procedures

1959
01:35:07.185 --> 01:35:09.725
and the potential of technology at some

1960
01:35:09.725 --> 01:35:13.645
of the amenity facilities, um, to better, um, manage that.

1961
01:35:17.785 --> 01:35:19.405
And then they approved their new, um,

1962
01:35:19.405 --> 01:35:20.685
meeting schedule as well.

1963
01:35:21.265 --> 01:35:22.485
So it was a rather short meeting.

1964
01:35:22.945 --> 01:35:26.125
It it concluded, um, at 9:30 AM

1965
01:35:29.235 --> 01:35:30.235
Okay.

1966
01:35:30.825 --> 01:35:34.685
At this point, if there is any, uh, members of the audience

1967
01:35:34.705 --> 01:35:37.285
who would like to address the board on any matters

1968
01:35:37.285 --> 01:35:41.935
that we haven't already discussed, that would be the time.

1969
01:35:42.885 --> 01:35:44.135
Hearing none, seeing none.

1970
01:35:44.155 --> 01:35:46.575
Any other supervisors comments, questions?

1971
01:35:48.205 --> 01:35:49.535
Welcome to our newest member

1972
01:35:49.795 --> 01:35:53.255
and, uh, we stand adjourned.

1973
01:35:53.255 --> 01:35:54.135
Thank you. Thank.
