1
00:00:00.460 --> 00:00:01.880
I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous.

2
00:00:03.740 --> 00:00:06.600
And we bought this house because of that, the wall, the separate.

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.380
But my husband here, he's been battling cancer for three years.

4
00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.800
My other neighbor also.

5
00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:14.920
Am I finished?

6
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:17.590
Your time, we'll give you just a little bit.

7
00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:17.960
Okay. Anyway.

8
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:18.520
30 seconds.

9
00:00:18.620 --> 00:00:22.300
All right. I just don't want to keep battling this issue of RVs.

10
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.360
We're battling cancer and it's tough, but as far as

11
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.280
I see, and everything in writing, is that the RV

12
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.940
can be parked in the driveway for the 72 hours, not on a

13
00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:34.540
plat.

14
00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:39.580
I would hope the developer could help me with this situation, that we can

15
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:40.980
finally put it to rest.

16
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:43.980
Okay. Ms. Duckett.

17
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:47.660
Is the RV being parked on the street or is it on-

18
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:48.640
It is the street.

19
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:48.840
Okay.

20
00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:52.060
That is the end of the street, which is the dead end,

21
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.790
my wall, the dead end, and it's called a

22
00:00:56.620 --> 00:00:57.120
plat.

23
00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:00.680
Yep. Well, the plat designates what the usage of that is for.

24
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:01.080
Right.

25
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:01.500
So

26
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:06.360
the developer, just like all of the other residential districts,

27
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:10.620
allows for RVs to be parked in the driveway and typically in the

28
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.200
street, as long as it is not impeding any type of emergency

29
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.940
traffic or blocking somebody's driveway, as long as it's within that

30
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:18.960
72 hours.

31
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:23.820
You're not going to see that written down because it's up to the developer for

32
00:01:23.860 --> 00:01:27.380
District 13. They have directed us to be

33
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.600
consistent with the other residential districts-

34
00:01:29.800 --> 00:01:29.870
Right

35
00:01:29.900 --> 00:01:32.740
... which is where you'll see it in the standards for the other districts, but

36
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:34.040
we're not to that point yet.

37
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:38.870
We did confirm with the developer based on the conversation, and

38
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.080
they reiterated that they wanted us to treat this situation just like we do

39
00:01:43.220 --> 00:01:46.700
all of the other ones on their behalf, and that if somebody

40
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.630
is violating that 72 hours or taking advantage of it, then

41
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.390
certainly we'll do our best to try to enforce based on

42
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.460
that. But we do need some help from the property owners because we can't be out

43
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.360
there all of the time. We can't be out there on the different nights, and

44
00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:06.210
it takes us some time, just due to the volume of calls, some time to get out there.

45
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.989
So certainly if this individual is parking more than 72 hours, the

46
00:02:10.021 --> 00:02:13.780
developer has indicated they will enforce just like they do everywhere else.

47
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.720
But we will need some help when it comes to the

48
00:02:18.730 --> 00:02:22.520
pictures for that. Now, if this is a street, then it's

49
00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:23.010
not

50
00:02:23.940 --> 00:02:27.820
a district property. There's nothing that you as a

51
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.920
district board, unfortunately, can do.

52
00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:34.360
And we do have a representative here from Wildwood.

53
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.380
If they are impeding traffic or emergency vehicles can't get through, then they may

54
00:02:38.420 --> 00:02:42.240
be able to have some options on their standpoint, but unfortunately, if it's

55
00:02:42.260 --> 00:02:45.480
not district property, there's nothing that you can do.

56
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:50.600
Okay. So this is a street, it's a

57
00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:54.240
dead-end street, and like I said, in the deed restriction, it's called the

58
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.860
plat. So there's no parking. It's for

59
00:02:58.060 --> 00:02:59.900
guests, not RVs.

60
00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:00.900
So,

61
00:03:02.720 --> 00:03:05.620
yeah, they could park. Hey, their driveway would be fine.

62
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.090
I don't know why there would be five on this little...

63
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.900
Five different pictures. So, you could live down

64
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.240
here. Why aren't you parking on your own street or in your own driveway?

65
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.060
Can I say-

66
00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:18.660
Well, that, and also-

67
00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:20.090
An RV is costing you-

68
00:03:20.090 --> 00:03:20.410
Yeah. My husband-

69
00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:22.200
... money out of your window.

70
00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:23.060
My husband.

71
00:03:23.160 --> 00:03:24.720
Okay. Well, you can't. Sorry. I'm sorry.

72
00:03:24.760 --> 00:03:25.500
Yeah, you have to get up.

73
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:26.299
You can't stay.

74
00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:27.269
Sorry.

75
00:03:27.290 --> 00:03:27.560
Sorry.

76
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:32.220
So really, I understand driveway,

77
00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:35.040
believe me, and in front, in his street, that would be...

78
00:03:35.320 --> 00:03:38.880
But why is everybody parking, and it specifically says that in the deed

79
00:03:38.940 --> 00:03:42.700
restriction. It's called the plat, and it's there for

80
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:43.520
their guests.

81
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.280
And when you say five, are you saying there's five RVs-

82
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:47.460
Yeah

83
00:03:47.470 --> 00:03:48.260
... that have been parking there?

84
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.400
Yeah. As far as I see right now, and there could be...

85
00:03:51.820 --> 00:03:53.040
There was two white ones.

86
00:03:53.900 --> 00:03:57.660
And we cannot go over, because people have gotten

87
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.160
very upset, even though we're on public property, very

88
00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:03.680
upset, and sent the police over-

89
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:04.180
Mm-hmm

90
00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:06.120
... to Whittington and saying that we're...

91
00:04:09.180 --> 00:04:13.160
We need to resolve or figure out. If it

92
00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:15.880
says in the deed restriction it's a plat and

93
00:04:16.780 --> 00:04:20.740
it's parking for your guests. So, hey, look, I see it

94
00:04:20.780 --> 00:04:23.490
all over Deluna Park. They park in front, in their driveway-

95
00:04:24.200 --> 00:04:24.350
Mm-hmm

96
00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:28.120
... backing in or whatever, or in front of their house in the street-

97
00:04:28.860 --> 00:04:28.870
Right

98
00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:29.409
... and

99
00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:33.180
put everything they need in, and then they're gone.

100
00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:36.690
So has anything been sent to community?

101
00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:39.790
Have these pictures been sent to community standards?

102
00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:41.150
I don't recall seeing them, but.

103
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:45.360
We have some. Unfortunately, the main

104
00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:49.260
person that is parking there lives right there, and we have not

105
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.660
caught them in violation of that 72-hour rule.

106
00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:56.680
No, he's gone. He knows he's gone by 72 hours, but

107
00:04:56.740 --> 00:04:58.840
it's not his street. It's the plat.

108
00:04:58.950 --> 00:05:01.280
It's another street for somebody else.

109
00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:02.940
You know what I mean?

110
00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:05.400
I don't get it. I don't understand.

111
00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:08.160
Is that parking area considered part of the district,

112
00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:10.100
or is that Wildwood?

113
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:14.240
I'm trying to pull up the property appraisers.

114
00:05:14.300 --> 00:05:18.240
If it's the street, which I believe it is, most of the areas have where it goes

115
00:05:18.260 --> 00:05:20.100
into a dead end before you hit the wall.

116
00:05:20.380 --> 00:05:20.500
Right.

117
00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:22.440
If it's the street, then that would be

118
00:05:23.300 --> 00:05:24.380
through the city of Wildwood.

119
00:05:25.100 --> 00:05:28.760
So then there's no overnight parking on the street in the city of Wildwood.

120
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:31.520
That I don't know.

121
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:33.360
Well, I did find that out.

122
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:33.760
Oh.

123
00:05:34.180 --> 00:05:34.840
I went to

124
00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:39.720
the township. I've been all over trying to figure this out, but it comes back

125
00:05:39.780 --> 00:05:42.420
here to the developer, I was told.

126
00:05:43.200 --> 00:05:45.320
So Ms. Duckett, we're trying to figure out if it's a plat.

127
00:05:45.980 --> 00:05:47.070
What's the plat verbatim?

128
00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:51.960
What the plat does is indicates what the area has been

129
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.680
designated for. And typically, you find that in areas, for

130
00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:59.180
example, with villas, you have the overflow parking area.

131
00:05:59.520 --> 00:05:59.660
Right.

132
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.380
And you'll look on the plat, and it'll say that this has been for owners and

133
00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:06.099
invitees and guests, or it depends on the district.

134
00:06:06.270 --> 00:06:06.490
Right.

135
00:06:06.688 --> 00:06:10.528
But if this is a street, then it's not for owners and

136
00:06:10.608 --> 00:06:12.248
guest parking at all. It's a street.

137
00:06:12.848 --> 00:06:15.388
Right. I understand that. So if it's a plat, would that be

138
00:06:16.548 --> 00:06:17.328
under the-

139
00:06:17.748 --> 00:06:20.878
It would depend on what it says, and I don't have an-

140
00:06:21.148 --> 00:06:21.158
Can you find that?

141
00:06:21.188 --> 00:06:21.988
I can.

142
00:06:22.288 --> 00:06:24.738
Well, I'd have the deed restrictions that would apply to it, but-

143
00:06:25.108 --> 00:06:27.288
No, the deed restrictions apply to your property.

144
00:06:27.358 --> 00:06:31.328
The deed restrictions refer to the plat, and then we

145
00:06:31.368 --> 00:06:34.148
have to read the plat to determine how it has been designated.

146
00:06:34.428 --> 00:06:38.368
So if I'm correct, it's over 72 hours, that thing needs to be moved regardless.

147
00:06:38.868 --> 00:06:38.877
Right.

148
00:06:38.888 --> 00:06:41.998
And there's no overnight parking by the city of Wildwood, right?

149
00:06:42.848 --> 00:06:46.408
So this is what I suggest. Put up a Ring camera. They're very inexpensive.

150
00:06:46.448 --> 00:06:49.888
You can have them sent to you overnight. Very quick to set up.

151
00:06:49.948 --> 00:06:51.028
You can set it in your window,

152
00:06:51.888 --> 00:06:55.798
plug it right in. It'll go out. You can set a motion detector on your phone, and

153
00:06:55.848 --> 00:06:59.798
it will record for you. Okay? And there you'll have,

154
00:06:59.968 --> 00:07:01.887
is he moving it, not moving it? Is he bringing it back?

155
00:07:01.908 --> 00:07:01.918
No.

156
00:07:01.948 --> 00:07:05.368
A very inexpensive way to go about it if we need evidence.

157
00:07:05.398 --> 00:07:08.768
No, the gentleman knows, him and everybody else knows to move it.

158
00:07:09.268 --> 00:07:09.338
Right.

159
00:07:09.338 --> 00:07:12.708
So that's not my issue. My issue is I go sit in my backyard.

160
00:07:12.828 --> 00:07:15.828
I can't even sit there because they start it up, there's fumes.

161
00:07:16.308 --> 00:07:16.398
Mm-hmm.

162
00:07:16.398 --> 00:07:19.388
There's diesel fumes, and he has cancer.

163
00:07:19.548 --> 00:07:20.668
So does the other gentleman.

164
00:07:22.008 --> 00:07:24.148
And we have to look at this. You have to see this.

165
00:07:24.268 --> 00:07:27.228
The wall, I believe it's eight foot. It says 10 here.

166
00:07:27.598 --> 00:07:31.308
And then it may be another, what, five on top of it. It's RVs.

167
00:07:33.228 --> 00:07:34.788
Isn't that the aesthetic?

168
00:07:35.108 --> 00:07:38.938
I guess the decision needs to

169
00:07:38.988 --> 00:07:40.868
be made on that. Is that a plat?

170
00:07:41.268 --> 00:07:45.158
Right. Let's let Ms. Duckett and her staff look at that and see what the

171
00:07:45.228 --> 00:07:49.188
plat says and see if there is anything that can be done other than

172
00:07:49.728 --> 00:07:51.258
the pictures. But again-

173
00:07:51.288 --> 00:07:52.098
Right. Could we have pictures?

174
00:07:52.098 --> 00:07:54.628
Ms. Duckett said that they've not seen anything where...

175
00:07:55.108 --> 00:07:57.398
And you're saying they're not extending the 72 hours.

176
00:07:57.408 --> 00:08:00.188
No, I have to say that, that they know exactly.

177
00:08:00.268 --> 00:08:03.068
But I don't understand why there's five.

178
00:08:03.708 --> 00:08:06.748
There's one house in front of me. I know it's that gentleman with the big brown

179
00:08:06.808 --> 00:08:08.248
one. I understand that.

180
00:08:08.298 --> 00:08:08.388
Yeah.

181
00:08:08.768 --> 00:08:12.718
But then where are all these o- We don't even know if they're owners

182
00:08:12.768 --> 00:08:15.288
there or not. One was gone the next day.

183
00:08:15.348 --> 00:08:19.288
We saw the jacks down. We know somebody stayed in

184
00:08:19.328 --> 00:08:19.468
it.

185
00:08:20.028 --> 00:08:20.668
Mm-hmm.

186
00:08:20.828 --> 00:08:22.428
But we don't know. We don't know where they are.

187
00:08:22.488 --> 00:08:25.548
And we cannot go over there anymore because we don't need anybody

188
00:08:26.148 --> 00:08:27.188
visiting us.

189
00:08:27.328 --> 00:08:31.048
I understand. Thank you, and let's see what the-

190
00:08:31.088 --> 00:08:33.509
May I ask how we would find out the results?

191
00:08:35.448 --> 00:08:37.308
If you'll provide your contact information to Mr.

192
00:08:37.608 --> 00:08:40.448
Armstrong over at the table, we'll make sure that we follow up with you.

193
00:08:40.898 --> 00:08:41.528
Okay. I'll do that.

194
00:08:41.989 --> 00:08:43.188
And we'll put it on your old business.

195
00:08:43.249 --> 00:08:43.509
Okay.

196
00:08:43.828 --> 00:08:44.378
All right. Thank you very much.

197
00:08:44.378 --> 00:08:45.968
Can we put that address of that house on...

198
00:08:46.008 --> 00:08:49.008
That'll be the address and everything on old business, so I can drive by and look

199
00:08:49.028 --> 00:08:49.588
at it myself?

200
00:08:49.968 --> 00:08:50.368
Yes.

201
00:08:50.448 --> 00:08:50.728
Thank you.

202
00:08:51.328 --> 00:08:51.548
Okay.

203
00:08:51.768 --> 00:08:55.328
My understanding was that they weren't allowed to run their

204
00:08:55.408 --> 00:08:58.168
generators, and they weren't allowed to stay in them either, and that was when I

205
00:08:58.228 --> 00:08:58.988
talked with the

206
00:09:00.908 --> 00:09:04.268
district. So I don't understand why they're, or not the district, but the builder.

207
00:09:04.988 --> 00:09:07.988
I don't understand why they're not taking action on this.

208
00:09:09.768 --> 00:09:10.127
Thank you.

209
00:09:12.088 --> 00:09:13.928
Let me do some research, and we'll come back to you.

210
00:09:14.128 --> 00:09:14.688
All right. Thank you.

211
00:09:14.768 --> 00:09:15.068
Thank you.

212
00:09:15.148 --> 00:09:15.528
Thank you.

213
00:09:15.648 --> 00:09:15.968
Thank you.

214
00:09:16.548 --> 00:09:18.248
Are there any other resident comments?

215
00:09:18.288 --> 00:09:20.668
I know we had a couple of additional people walk in.

216
00:09:20.708 --> 00:09:23.328
Does anyone want to make a comment? No? Okay.

217
00:09:23.368 --> 00:09:26.288
We were just here to hear about the grass, the disposition.

218
00:09:26.508 --> 00:09:29.288
We were going to do something about the grass. Okay.

219
00:09:29.468 --> 00:09:31.348
We heard that they were going to do something at this meeting.

220
00:09:32.048 --> 00:09:33.748
We have some things on old business.

221
00:09:33.808 --> 00:09:37.708
I'm not sure there's an update on that, but there is a

222
00:09:38.148 --> 00:09:41.988
point on old business, so. All right, so now we'll go for our law

223
00:09:42.028 --> 00:09:43.848
enforcement quarterly update. Thank you.

224
00:09:48.388 --> 00:09:50.568
Good afternoon. Captain Kinder, Wildwood Police Department.

225
00:09:51.368 --> 00:09:54.828
So last week, Wildwood Police Department assisted with

226
00:09:55.128 --> 00:09:56.288
President of the United States coming.

227
00:09:57.108 --> 00:10:01.098
We worked with Secret Service and also other local law enforcement to make sure

228
00:10:01.148 --> 00:10:03.928
that it was a secured and safe event for everybody involved.

229
00:10:04.208 --> 00:10:07.908
We're happy to say that it was. He got here, left

230
00:10:07.988 --> 00:10:11.328
safely, and it was safe for all residents and everybody that attended.

231
00:10:12.128 --> 00:10:15.988
We do have a couple of upcoming events, but they are pretty far into the year.

232
00:10:16.148 --> 00:10:19.188
We'll be sure to pass those on to you as they get closer.

233
00:10:19.728 --> 00:10:23.618
Other than that, I don't have any updates for the law enforcement quarter at this

234
00:10:23.628 --> 00:10:23.888
time.

235
00:10:26.027 --> 00:10:27.018
Any questions from the-

236
00:10:27.308 --> 00:10:31.088
I had called the City of Wildwood and asked them about parking on the

237
00:10:31.168 --> 00:10:33.078
street, and nobody said that

238
00:10:34.208 --> 00:10:37.938
you could not park overnight, because we had a couple of cars that

239
00:10:37.988 --> 00:10:41.548
parked right on a curve. Made it difficult for people

240
00:10:41.608 --> 00:10:45.548
to traverse that area, but is that correct, that there is no

241
00:10:45.768 --> 00:10:46.118
law against overnight?

242
00:10:46.928 --> 00:10:48.848
So we're taking it on a case-by-case basis.

243
00:10:48.888 --> 00:10:52.728
So there is different areas, but our recommendation on every

244
00:10:52.788 --> 00:10:56.748
single one of them is whenever you see a violation, is to give dispatch a

245
00:10:56.808 --> 00:11:00.788
call, the non-emergency line. We send an officer out there, we make sure, we

246
00:11:00.828 --> 00:11:04.578
take a look at it. We'll have them move that vehicle, especially if it's

247
00:11:04.588 --> 00:11:07.468
blocking a curve or anything that's going to be like that.

248
00:11:08.548 --> 00:11:10.848
But we're trying to make sure that every single one of them is

249
00:11:11.968 --> 00:11:13.068
looked at individually.

250
00:11:13.548 --> 00:11:17.308
But is there an overnight law? Because I know a lot of people park their cars

251
00:11:17.348 --> 00:11:18.868
overnight on the street in Wildwood.

252
00:11:19.548 --> 00:11:21.388
So as far as the city ordinance,

253
00:11:22.368 --> 00:11:25.488
we'd want to get a copy of that. I know that they've been looking at specific

254
00:11:25.568 --> 00:11:29.208
areas, and I don't want to speak out of turn without looking at those specific

255
00:11:29.268 --> 00:11:32.108
areas. That's why we're looking at each violation individually,

256
00:11:32.768 --> 00:11:36.428
ensuring it falls right in line with what we're able to do with either

257
00:11:36.748 --> 00:11:38.848
a Florida state statute or with the city ordinance.

258
00:11:39.428 --> 00:11:43.288
Okay. I know you guys did a good job on a lot of the block parties where they

259
00:11:43.308 --> 00:11:46.268
were blocking emergency entrances and came by.

260
00:11:46.768 --> 00:11:49.908
Were very professional and moved people, so that's a good thing. Thank you.

261
00:11:50.308 --> 00:11:51.008
Absolutely. Yes, sir.

262
00:11:53.148 --> 00:11:54.268
All right. Thank you.

263
00:11:55.708 --> 00:11:56.168
Thank you.

264
00:11:56.178 --> 00:11:59.368
Okay. So now to new business. We have the approval of the minutes.

265
00:11:59.428 --> 00:12:01.408
Are there any questions on the minutes, or...

266
00:12:04.148 --> 00:12:05.128
Can we get a motion then?

267
00:12:05.928 --> 00:12:09.428
I'd like to make a motion to approve the minutes of April 6th.

268
00:12:12.064 --> 00:12:12.424
Second.

269
00:12:13.844 --> 00:12:14.544
All in favor?

270
00:12:14.784 --> 00:12:15.464
Aye.

271
00:12:15.524 --> 00:12:17.304
Any opposed? Motion carried.

272
00:12:19.464 --> 00:12:19.824
Brandy.

273
00:12:20.944 --> 00:12:24.104
Yes, ma'am. Ms. Karen Cleary will be presenting your

274
00:12:24.264 --> 00:12:27.954
26-27 budget review. I do want to call attention,

275
00:12:28.584 --> 00:12:32.554
just as an item on your old business comes into this review, and that part of

276
00:12:32.604 --> 00:12:35.624
this discussion will be on the Villa Lighting Project.

277
00:12:36.064 --> 00:12:39.744
We have included it so that you can see what your budget would be if you moved

278
00:12:39.824 --> 00:12:43.264
forward with it, but knowing that that was a discussion that the board wanted to

279
00:12:43.304 --> 00:12:45.714
have before approving the budget. Ms. Cleary?

280
00:12:46.084 --> 00:12:48.604
Yes. Thank you, Kerry. Good afternoon, board.

281
00:12:48.704 --> 00:12:51.444
Karen Cleary, assistant budget director.

282
00:12:53.604 --> 00:12:55.204
Do you have to give me just a minute? Yep.

283
00:13:07.564 --> 00:13:07.984
Thank you.

284
00:13:10.084 --> 00:13:14.024
We're here today to review the fiscal year 26-27 proposed budget

285
00:13:14.044 --> 00:13:17.604
for District 13, and my goal is to walk through the major components of this

286
00:13:17.644 --> 00:13:21.224
budget, highlight key changes, and provide pertinent context.

287
00:13:21.244 --> 00:13:24.244
We'll conclude with next steps ahead of your June 8th regular meeting.

288
00:13:26.184 --> 00:13:28.984
Let's begin with revenues. For fiscal year

289
00:13:29.164 --> 00:13:32.704
26-27, maintenance assessments remain unchanged at

290
00:13:32.844 --> 00:13:36.024
$4,625,208.

291
00:13:36.624 --> 00:13:40.244
Interest income increases modestly by $1,600,

292
00:13:40.324 --> 00:13:42.244
bringing total operating revenue to

293
00:13:42.254 --> 00:13:45.864
$4,733,808.

294
00:13:46.544 --> 00:13:50.464
As the slide shows, this is essentially a flat year-over-year operating revenue.

295
00:13:51.604 --> 00:13:55.324
We do see a significant reduction in developer contributions, decreasing from

296
00:13:55.364 --> 00:13:57.864
$27,269 to

297
00:13:57.904 --> 00:14:01.524
$9,172, a 66% decrease.

298
00:14:02.064 --> 00:14:05.924
This reflects the natural phase-down of developer involvement directly related to

299
00:14:05.964 --> 00:14:08.564
your deed compliance services as the district matures.

300
00:14:09.284 --> 00:14:11.964
We're also reducing your addition to working capital.

301
00:14:12.164 --> 00:14:15.544
Last year, we added $288,584

302
00:14:16.104 --> 00:14:19.464
to your working capital, while this year we anticipate adding

303
00:14:19.484 --> 00:14:23.314
$84,367, which is a shift of just over

304
00:14:23.324 --> 00:14:24.464
$200,000.

305
00:14:25.384 --> 00:14:27.344
Overall, total revenue increases by

306
00:14:27.353 --> 00:14:31.304
$187,720 or 4%.

307
00:14:33.424 --> 00:14:37.364
The pie chart provides a clear snapshot of how District 13 allocates its budget

308
00:14:37.424 --> 00:14:41.224
across its major service areas. Project-wide fees make up the largest

309
00:14:41.304 --> 00:14:44.564
share, reflecting the shared infrastructure that benefits all residents.

310
00:14:45.084 --> 00:14:48.504
Repairs and maintenance represent the next significant portion, highlighting our

311
00:14:48.564 --> 00:14:50.784
commitment to preserving district assets.

312
00:14:51.193 --> 00:14:54.944
And your remaining categories of professional services, utility services,

313
00:14:55.084 --> 00:14:59.024
personnel, and transfers support your day-to-day operations that keep the district

314
00:14:59.084 --> 00:15:01.064
running smoothly.

315
00:15:02.544 --> 00:15:06.504
Turning to appropriations, the total expenditures also increased by 4%,

316
00:15:06.664 --> 00:15:08.144
corresponding to your revenues at

317
00:15:08.184 --> 00:15:11.964
$4,658,613.

318
00:15:12.664 --> 00:15:15.964
Most categories remain stable or show slight decreases.

319
00:15:16.444 --> 00:15:20.184
Personnel and operating decreased by 2%, professional services

320
00:15:20.264 --> 00:15:23.684
decreased by 1%, and utility services also decreased by

321
00:15:23.784 --> 00:15:24.284
2%.

322
00:15:25.124 --> 00:15:28.584
The most notable change is your repairs and maintenance, which increases by

323
00:15:28.594 --> 00:15:32.024
$139,767 or

324
00:15:32.044 --> 00:15:35.884
26%. We'll explain the drivers behind that variance

325
00:15:36.384 --> 00:15:40.034
in another slide. Project-wide fees increased by

326
00:15:40.184 --> 00:15:43.724
2%, consistent across all districts, and your transfers remain

327
00:15:43.864 --> 00:15:46.064
unchanged at $250,000.

328
00:15:48.044 --> 00:15:51.954
Major variances contributing to the changes in appropriations include building and

329
00:15:52.044 --> 00:15:55.484
structure maintenance increasing by $42,200 or

330
00:15:55.744 --> 00:15:59.164
112%, and this is due to the Villa Lighting

331
00:15:59.244 --> 00:16:01.344
Project that Kerry mentioned earlier.

332
00:16:02.384 --> 00:16:06.204
Elora, Alyssa, Austin, Boaz, and Branham Villas

333
00:16:06.284 --> 00:16:08.004
are what are on the docket to be done.

334
00:16:08.884 --> 00:16:12.064
Landscape maintenance, non-recurring, increases just over

335
00:16:12.074 --> 00:16:15.884
$39,000 or 75%, reflecting

336
00:16:15.924 --> 00:16:19.284
planned plant replacements and expanded tree trimming services.

337
00:16:20.304 --> 00:16:23.124
Other maintenance increases by $56,000 or

338
00:16:23.224 --> 00:16:27.104
361%, which is tied to contract expiration and your

339
00:16:27.164 --> 00:16:29.124
biannual pressure washing expense.

340
00:16:30.044 --> 00:16:33.943
Project-wide fees increase $59,365 or

341
00:16:34.084 --> 00:16:37.844
2%, which is consistent across all other participating districts.

342
00:16:39.824 --> 00:16:43.704
Our project-wide allocation is based on assessable acreage, the same methodology

343
00:16:43.724 --> 00:16:45.864
used for maintenance and bond assessments.

344
00:16:45.884 --> 00:16:49.724
For fiscal year 2026-27, District 13's allocation

345
00:16:49.784 --> 00:16:53.544
is $3,027,611, an

346
00:16:53.624 --> 00:16:56.704
increase of 2%, and District 13 represents

347
00:16:56.804 --> 00:17:00.344
14.23% of the total project-wide acreage.

348
00:17:02.484 --> 00:17:05.404
This 2% increase is driven by the capital improvement plan.

349
00:17:05.664 --> 00:17:07.524
The CIP for the current fiscal year

350
00:17:08.484 --> 00:17:11.825
totals $1.05 million, increasing to

351
00:17:11.834 --> 00:17:15.364
$1.77 million in fiscal year 26-27.

352
00:17:15.795 --> 00:17:19.565
The majority of next year's costs relate to fence replacements, multimodal path

353
00:17:19.644 --> 00:17:22.535
mill and overlay, and the repainting of some entry features.

354
00:17:23.464 --> 00:17:25.964
Costs moderate in later years with projections of

355
00:17:26.045 --> 00:17:29.324
$350,000 in fiscal year 27-28,

356
00:17:29.574 --> 00:17:33.264
$322,000 in fiscal year 28-29,

357
00:17:33.724 --> 00:17:37.324
and $980,000 in fiscal year 30-31.

358
00:17:39.164 --> 00:17:42.534
Looking ahead, our five-year projections show stable revenues and

359
00:17:42.624 --> 00:17:44.144
predictable expenditure growth.

360
00:17:44.404 --> 00:17:46.684
Maintenance assessments remain constant at

361
00:17:46.704 --> 00:17:49.674
$4,625,208

362
00:17:50.504 --> 00:17:50.944
annually.

363
00:17:51.884 --> 00:17:53.744
Miscellaneous revenue also remains steady.

364
00:17:54.304 --> 00:17:58.134
Working capital usage varies depending on needs, ranging from an addition of

365
00:17:58.134 --> 00:18:01.944
$84,000 this year to increased usage in later years.

366
00:18:03.624 --> 00:18:07.054
On the appropriation side, we see modest increases in utilities,

367
00:18:07.144 --> 00:18:10.774
professional services, and repairs and maintenance, reflecting inflation and

368
00:18:10.844 --> 00:18:14.776
scheduled maintenance work.Your project-wide fees are budgeted at a 2%

369
00:18:14.856 --> 00:18:18.756
annual increase, and transfers remain steady at $250,000

370
00:18:18.816 --> 00:18:20.736
annually. By fiscal year

371
00:18:21.636 --> 00:18:24.756
30-31, total appropriations are projected to reach

372
00:18:24.766 --> 00:18:28.176
$5,071,275.

373
00:18:30.356 --> 00:18:33.656
Moving on to your working capital and reserves, we see the balance of your working

374
00:18:33.736 --> 00:18:36.296
capital budgeted to decline approximately

375
00:18:36.316 --> 00:18:40.036
$850,000 over the five-year period, while your general

376
00:18:40.116 --> 00:18:44.076
reserve fund grows from 500,000 to 1.5 million

377
00:18:44.096 --> 00:18:45.156
during the same timeframe.

378
00:18:45.976 --> 00:18:48.036
Overall, your fund balance grows from

379
00:18:48.046 --> 00:18:51.796
$3,084,861 in fiscal year

380
00:18:51.936 --> 00:18:54.076
26-27 to a peak of

381
00:18:54.086 --> 00:18:58.036
$3,327,149 in fiscal

382
00:18:58.076 --> 00:19:01.976
year 29-30, before moderating slightly in fiscal year 30-31.

383
00:19:03.996 --> 00:19:07.856
Your reserve policy requires maintaining a minimum combined balance equal to

384
00:19:08.216 --> 00:19:11.426
35% of revenues plus four months of operating expenses.

385
00:19:12.176 --> 00:19:15.936
As you can see, based on current budgeted revenues and appropriations, by fiscal

386
00:19:15.996 --> 00:19:19.756
year 30-31, you are projected to fall below that target minimum.

387
00:19:20.316 --> 00:19:23.716
This does mean an increase in maintenance assessments will likely be required

388
00:19:23.756 --> 00:19:25.616
during this five-year period.

389
00:19:27.156 --> 00:19:30.336
Looking at your fund balance forecast, your revenues stay just above your

390
00:19:30.356 --> 00:19:33.056
expenditures through fiscal year 28-29.

391
00:19:33.096 --> 00:19:36.926
However, this trend reverses by fiscal year 30-31, with expenditures

392
00:19:36.956 --> 00:19:40.736
exceeding revenues slightly. Making sure your operating expenses are

393
00:19:40.776 --> 00:19:44.396
covered by your operating revenues on an annual basis puts the district on

394
00:19:44.516 --> 00:19:48.316
stable financial ground. And as you can see, the fund balance does begin to decline

395
00:19:48.356 --> 00:19:49.136
in that fifth year.

396
00:19:51.676 --> 00:19:54.816
Although we are not bringing a formal recommendation for a maintenance assessment

397
00:19:54.876 --> 00:19:58.516
increase in fiscal year 26-27, we did want to provide some

398
00:19:58.556 --> 00:20:02.396
information relevant to any increases that may be necessary in the out years.

399
00:20:03.236 --> 00:20:06.076
A 1% change in maintenance assessment brings in

400
00:20:06.086 --> 00:20:09.556
$46,252 in additional revenue.

401
00:20:10.056 --> 00:20:13.616
There is also $964 in additional tax collector fees and

402
00:20:13.656 --> 00:20:17.276
approximately $5,000 in other expenses related to the mailing.

403
00:20:19.096 --> 00:20:22.296
So at this time, we'd like to request the board give us direction for your

404
00:20:22.336 --> 00:20:25.816
maintenance assessments, even if that is to keep them flat with no increase.

405
00:20:26.216 --> 00:20:29.936
Please keep in mind that when you adopt your proposed budget in June,

406
00:20:30.156 --> 00:20:33.576
no further increases can be made to your maintenance assessment rates.

407
00:20:33.636 --> 00:20:37.096
That preliminary approval will include the maximum your maintenance assessment

408
00:20:37.156 --> 00:20:41.056
rates can be set, so you can decide on a lower rate before final budget

409
00:20:41.096 --> 00:20:44.876
adoption. So at this time, if you'd like to discuss options or

410
00:20:44.916 --> 00:20:48.036
any things you would like us to bring back in June, we're happy to hear them.

411
00:20:48.936 --> 00:20:52.696
I have several concerns. The 2% increase to

412
00:20:52.736 --> 00:20:56.236
PWAC is to cover the Brownwood entry mainly and the

413
00:20:56.336 --> 00:20:59.276
fences, and those were in the budget.

414
00:20:59.336 --> 00:21:02.876
So I don't understand why all of a sudden that's an

415
00:21:02.976 --> 00:21:06.946
overage. And the reason why I say this is because we're looking into some of the

416
00:21:07.016 --> 00:21:10.896
budget items, and they're going to be replacing doors on

417
00:21:10.936 --> 00:21:14.056
our pools at two different locations, and they want

418
00:21:14.066 --> 00:21:17.696
$7,400 to replace a standard door.

419
00:21:17.736 --> 00:21:18.245
And that

420
00:21:19.796 --> 00:21:23.766
estimate was $40,000 over, and they presented it like it was no big

421
00:21:23.856 --> 00:21:24.096
deal.

422
00:21:25.156 --> 00:21:25.716
And to me,

423
00:21:26.876 --> 00:21:30.216
spending, again, $400,000 on lights going into

424
00:21:32.256 --> 00:21:36.136
the different villas and stuff like that, that more than covers our reserves, and

425
00:21:36.176 --> 00:21:39.956
it's not a safety feature, and it's not something that benefits anybody

426
00:21:39.996 --> 00:21:42.036
except for the people in those villas.

427
00:21:42.076 --> 00:21:46.016
So I think we have a lot of work to be done on our

428
00:21:46.036 --> 00:21:49.936
budgets before we start increasing taxes and increasing the

429
00:21:49.996 --> 00:21:51.796
amount of money we send to PWAC.

430
00:21:53.596 --> 00:21:56.616
So just to clarify, the

431
00:21:56.626 --> 00:22:00.496
door project at PWAC has nothing to do with the

432
00:22:00.516 --> 00:22:03.456
maintenance assessments. That's on the flag side of things.

433
00:22:03.496 --> 00:22:07.176
So nothing that is spent through the amenity

434
00:22:07.256 --> 00:22:11.146
division impacts the residential districts as far as your contribution or your

435
00:22:11.196 --> 00:22:12.116
assessment.

436
00:22:12.336 --> 00:22:16.156
I understand that, but it's one of many things that we're paying a

437
00:22:16.176 --> 00:22:19.996
ridiculous amount of money to do things that shouldn't cost that much.

438
00:22:20.566 --> 00:22:24.396
And it would seem if we take a closer look at those and cut back on the expenses

439
00:22:24.436 --> 00:22:26.926
that we're doing, we wouldn't have to make all these increases.

440
00:22:27.926 --> 00:22:31.496
So when it comes to the project-wide, the

441
00:22:31.616 --> 00:22:34.215
2%, that is the 2% that is required.

442
00:22:34.275 --> 00:22:36.605
As you know, we've been able to hold it steady, but

443
00:22:36.676 --> 00:22:40.616
based on project-wide budget that was presented

444
00:22:40.656 --> 00:22:40.996
to them,

445
00:22:41.976 --> 00:22:45.456
there is going to be a 2% increase to all of the residential districts.

446
00:22:45.866 --> 00:22:47.696
And it's not just for those two items.

447
00:22:47.736 --> 00:22:51.165
It is just in general, costs have been going up, and they have not been

448
00:22:51.216 --> 00:22:54.996
increasing the contribution from the residential districts.

449
00:22:55.356 --> 00:22:58.936
When it comes to your budget, when it comes to the

450
00:22:58.996 --> 00:23:02.976
villa entry lighting, that is a complete policy decision on the board, and if you

451
00:23:03.016 --> 00:23:06.176
tell us to take it out of the budget, we'll take it out of the budget.

452
00:23:06.566 --> 00:23:09.936
I just wanted to make sure that since you said it would be discussed here, that you

453
00:23:10.116 --> 00:23:12.416
saw the cost associated with them.

454
00:23:12.896 --> 00:23:16.796
But there's not a recommendation at this point to provide any

455
00:23:16.876 --> 00:23:19.616
type of maintenance increase to any of your residents.

456
00:23:21.016 --> 00:23:24.096
That 2% is if it's approved by PWAC, correct?

457
00:23:24.336 --> 00:23:28.216
Correct. Well, yes. If PWAC funds the budget

458
00:23:28.236 --> 00:23:31.836
that was presented to them, it would require a 2% increase on the residential

459
00:23:31.916 --> 00:23:35.796
districts to fund the budget. PWAC indicated very early on

460
00:23:35.836 --> 00:23:39.096
when it was established that they did not want to hold any type of

461
00:23:39.116 --> 00:23:42.626
reserves. So they did not want to have reserves in PWAC for the

462
00:23:42.636 --> 00:23:46.336
fluctuations. They would rather come back and get increases from the

463
00:23:46.376 --> 00:23:50.156
residential districts and have all of the reserves lie

464
00:23:50.236 --> 00:23:52.116
with the residential districts.

465
00:23:52.196 --> 00:23:55.656
I understand that, but being in business for 40 years,

466
00:23:55.776 --> 00:23:59.306
typically what we did was instead of raising prices, we would reduce our

467
00:23:59.356 --> 00:24:03.116
costs in order to meet our

468
00:24:03.156 --> 00:24:05.176
needs, and we don't seem to be doing that.

469
00:24:06.676 --> 00:24:10.036
And that would be a policy decision on PWAC as to how they wanted to proceed.

470
00:24:12.836 --> 00:24:13.476
Yeah, I'd like to

471
00:24:14.516 --> 00:24:15.596
segue off of that, too.

472
00:24:16.432 --> 00:24:16.732
And

473
00:24:17.892 --> 00:24:20.452
bring up the question of repairs and maintenance.

474
00:24:20.672 --> 00:24:24.232
We had a 26% increase. Is this a one-time event?

475
00:24:26.132 --> 00:24:28.072
Let me get back to that slide.

476
00:24:28.452 --> 00:24:29.392
Repairs and maintenance.

477
00:24:31.892 --> 00:24:35.712
547, recommended budget 687, change of

478
00:24:35.872 --> 00:24:38.612
139. That's our biggest increase, was 26%.

479
00:24:39.112 --> 00:24:41.672
Yes, it is. And that is due to...

480
00:24:43.112 --> 00:24:44.452
Of course, we didn't put that one in there.

481
00:24:45.372 --> 00:24:48.832
I think part of it is there is contract expiration for

482
00:24:48.912 --> 00:24:51.572
your landscaping coming up.

483
00:24:51.652 --> 00:24:51.892
Okay.

484
00:24:51.952 --> 00:24:55.872
So we budget an increase in that because we don't know what the new contract

485
00:24:55.912 --> 00:24:59.432
is going to be. We base that off of current pricing.

486
00:24:59.721 --> 00:25:03.552
So that's probably a large part of it, but I can get you the details of

487
00:25:03.572 --> 00:25:06.392
exactly what line items increased.

488
00:25:07.412 --> 00:25:10.352
That'd be great, because I'm on the same page as Supervisor Carrigan.

489
00:25:10.412 --> 00:25:13.532
We need to learn how to cut before we learn how to keep increasing.

490
00:25:15.032 --> 00:25:17.732
And I know this is old, but I know we have a new board member.

491
00:25:18.832 --> 00:25:22.592
So in the last meeting, I missed the meeting before that, it was stated clearly on

492
00:25:22.612 --> 00:25:25.712
the mic that this whole sod replacement deal would not have

493
00:25:25.792 --> 00:25:29.372
cost this board any

494
00:25:29.432 --> 00:25:31.952
funds. Well, to date, according to Mr.

495
00:25:32.172 --> 00:25:36.092
Harris, who's standing up there, it is truly, we are being charged to replace that

496
00:25:36.192 --> 00:25:39.522
sod. Okay? And now that the sod issue has been raised up,

497
00:25:40.552 --> 00:25:43.952
I know from my neighbors, and I know from the water restrictions, which we'll be

498
00:25:44.012 --> 00:25:46.332
bringing up later, and I know the sod types.

499
00:25:46.372 --> 00:25:50.032
This has been an ongoing discussion with this board for a while.

500
00:25:50.632 --> 00:25:53.732
My one neighbor reported he had to replace some of the sod, and it cost him over

501
00:25:53.812 --> 00:25:56.292
$7,000 to replace the sod in his lawn.

502
00:25:57.952 --> 00:26:01.602
And now under water restrictions, so this thing has really morphed into

503
00:26:01.832 --> 00:26:05.712
not just a small thing. And just so I can be clear on the mic, I don't care if we

504
00:26:05.752 --> 00:26:08.492
go back to all Florida natural. I really don't.

505
00:26:08.572 --> 00:26:11.692
You can turn the whole esplanades back into Florida

506
00:26:12.332 --> 00:26:16.312
natural. But when this board sits here and says, "Okay, we're paying Seppra,"

507
00:26:16.372 --> 00:26:19.212
which is coming up for contract, too, and I know when I was the chair, and I went

508
00:26:19.252 --> 00:26:23.032
up two district to talk to Mr. Harris, and then we were flying

509
00:26:23.052 --> 00:26:25.531
drones over ponds and all this craziness was going on.

510
00:26:26.232 --> 00:26:29.212
We still are paying $2.7 million to maintain that

511
00:26:29.232 --> 00:26:32.892
sod. And I know, and I'm making a request that we go back through the

512
00:26:32.932 --> 00:26:36.652
records. I want to know back through the public records, as I know as it's stated,

513
00:26:36.692 --> 00:26:38.832
that it wouldn't cost this district a dime.

514
00:26:39.152 --> 00:26:42.852
All I know, I want to know in this budget is this 26%, out of that

515
00:26:42.872 --> 00:26:45.312
repairs and maintenances, is that to replace sod?

516
00:26:46.392 --> 00:26:49.512
And if it was, I want to know the exact cost and where it is.

517
00:26:49.632 --> 00:26:51.292
And I don't expect you to do it all at once.

518
00:26:51.732 --> 00:26:54.192
I just want this board aware of it before we go into the budget.

519
00:26:54.732 --> 00:26:58.612
And Seppra is under contract, and if Seppra is under contract,

520
00:26:59.072 --> 00:27:03.052
it's been an ongoing issue, just so you know, Chuck, and because you're new

521
00:27:03.092 --> 00:27:06.932
on the board. And like, and I agree with Supervisor Carrigan, we

522
00:27:06.992 --> 00:27:10.252
need to assess. And the lighting thing, I thought that was crazy, too.

523
00:27:10.332 --> 00:27:13.932
What are we doing, paying $10,000 for this lighting or something?

524
00:27:14.152 --> 00:27:14.291
Is that-

525
00:27:14.532 --> 00:27:16.392
400,000 to complete the project.

526
00:27:16.492 --> 00:27:20.032
Yeah. For solar lighting. And I

527
00:27:20.512 --> 00:27:23.492
do not want to not say that these people can't light up their

528
00:27:24.232 --> 00:27:27.252
signs or do whatever they want, but why don't you do that within your own

529
00:27:27.292 --> 00:27:30.101
neighborhood? Why are you coming back and asking the whole district, which we're a

530
00:27:30.132 --> 00:27:32.312
huge district, almost 200 homes, to pay for that?

531
00:27:32.472 --> 00:27:36.332
So anyway, I'll be quiet at this point, but I really think it's something we need

532
00:27:36.352 --> 00:27:39.532
to dig into as a board, and we need to have a workshop on it, and we need to go

533
00:27:39.592 --> 00:27:43.572
through line item, line item, line item, exactly what we're spending, why are we

534
00:27:43.612 --> 00:27:46.512
spending it, and can we do other avenues?

535
00:27:46.532 --> 00:27:49.992
And including when I first got hired, I talked to Ms.

536
00:27:50.032 --> 00:27:53.632
Duckett and to Kenny, and I'm like, "Would it be more beneficial just to yank us

537
00:27:53.652 --> 00:27:54.312
out of PWAT?

538
00:27:55.132 --> 00:27:57.872
Can we maintain our own budget? Can we

539
00:27:58.952 --> 00:28:02.892
seclude ourselves and do it? And are we required to?" And I don't want an answer

540
00:28:02.932 --> 00:28:06.212
now on it, but it's just something for us to think about, and this is what I think

541
00:28:06.252 --> 00:28:10.152
about all the time. So I know we have the sod replacement coming up

542
00:28:10.772 --> 00:28:14.272
and that. So I'm on board with Supervisor

543
00:28:14.352 --> 00:28:17.692
Carrigan, and I think we really need to dive into this budget deep before we

544
00:28:17.712 --> 00:28:18.552
approve anything.

545
00:28:20.452 --> 00:28:24.352
So my comments on the project wide, we don't have

546
00:28:24.432 --> 00:28:26.812
a say on whether or not they go up 2%.

547
00:28:28.332 --> 00:28:30.192
You as a residential district-

548
00:28:31.732 --> 00:28:31.742
No

549
00:28:31.742 --> 00:28:35.712
... you have a representative there, and then they as a board

550
00:28:35.772 --> 00:28:39.012
approve the budget, and then it would be cost allocated based on the agreement.

551
00:28:39.292 --> 00:28:42.212
Right. But this board can't say we're not going to pay the 2%.

552
00:28:42.472 --> 00:28:45.512
Correct. You would be in violation of your agreement.

553
00:28:46.152 --> 00:28:49.992
And as far as the lighting, is it appropriate now

554
00:28:50.032 --> 00:28:53.912
that we discuss that and either decide we're going forward or we're not?

555
00:28:54.772 --> 00:28:57.892
Sure. If you would like to direct us to remove it out of the budget, that doesn't

556
00:28:57.962 --> 00:29:01.952
mean down the road if residents come back, you can allocate it for different years.

557
00:29:01.972 --> 00:29:05.692
But if you direct us to take it out of the budget, then we'll take it out

558
00:29:05.772 --> 00:29:08.112
of it moving forward.

559
00:29:08.202 --> 00:29:11.652
Well, and I believe, if my memory is correct, that we only had one

560
00:29:12.052 --> 00:29:13.871
time that residents came and

561
00:29:14.692 --> 00:29:15.572
asked for it,

562
00:29:16.392 --> 00:29:20.312
and they asked for theirs to be moved up, and that's when we became aware

563
00:29:20.392 --> 00:29:21.592
it was even a project.

564
00:29:22.652 --> 00:29:25.012
And that was just one time that that's happened.

565
00:29:25.172 --> 00:29:28.622
So I don't think we've had a lot of other villa

566
00:29:28.812 --> 00:29:32.692
neighborhoods coming and saying, "Let's do this." And I know I've spoke

567
00:29:32.732 --> 00:29:35.552
personally. I live in a veranda neighborhood. I'm not asking.

568
00:29:35.612 --> 00:29:39.212
We have solar lights lighting ours up that we paid for.

569
00:29:39.412 --> 00:29:43.212
So is there anyone that feels that we should be doing

570
00:29:43.272 --> 00:29:43.572
this

571
00:29:44.672 --> 00:29:45.592
lighting project?

572
00:29:46.192 --> 00:29:46.392
Nope.

573
00:29:46.672 --> 00:29:47.452
I would say no.

574
00:29:48.612 --> 00:29:52.112
The amount of money

575
00:29:52.452 --> 00:29:52.712
is

576
00:29:53.732 --> 00:29:57.412
going to guarantee over the next four or five years that we don't have to

577
00:29:57.492 --> 00:30:01.212
raise taxes to our residents. And I think that's the

578
00:30:01.272 --> 00:30:04.412
major point. If we were swimming in money and it didn't matter,

579
00:30:05.392 --> 00:30:09.012
that would be a different story. But if our

580
00:30:09.072 --> 00:30:10.772
reserves are going to go down and we need...

581
00:30:11.472 --> 00:30:15.172
And we're not talking about, we're talking much less than 400,000 to keep going for

582
00:30:15.212 --> 00:30:19.071
the next several years. So it doesn't seem like a wise choice

583
00:30:19.112 --> 00:30:20.152
to spend that much money.

584
00:30:20.820 --> 00:30:23.260
I agree. So does anybody feel like we should be doing it?

585
00:30:23.380 --> 00:30:24.960
I guess maybe that was a better way to say it.

586
00:30:25.020 --> 00:30:28.740
Anybody want to speak that we should be doing it? Okay. So we're taking it out.

587
00:30:29.280 --> 00:30:29.800
Understood.

588
00:30:30.120 --> 00:30:30.480
Thank you.

589
00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:38.640
So as it pertains to maintenance assessments, are you

590
00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:43.410
accepting staff's recommendation and we will bring you a proposed preliminary

591
00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:47.390
budget next month with a 0% increase, or would you like to see some

592
00:30:47.460 --> 00:30:50.980
options of what you can do to

593
00:30:52.320 --> 00:30:55.200
stabilize it a little bit more? It's not necessary this year.

594
00:30:55.620 --> 00:30:59.060
You can certainly address it next year, but if you would like options, what

595
00:30:59.180 --> 00:31:02.920
you approve at your June meeting is the highest that you can

596
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.980
go. You can always nix it completely or reduce it,

597
00:31:07.420 --> 00:31:09.940
but what you approve in June, you cannot go higher.

598
00:31:11.060 --> 00:31:14.520
So I don't want to create work for anybody else, but I'm not going to vote for

599
00:31:14.560 --> 00:31:16.480
anything other than a 0% increase.

600
00:31:18.140 --> 00:31:19.800
I'll too be on a 0% increase.

601
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:22.200
Well, it makes sense.

602
00:31:22.450 --> 00:31:25.660
Yeah. I mean, the numbers support not having an increase.

603
00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:29.160
We may have to have one in later years, but we should be good.

604
00:31:29.610 --> 00:31:33.120
And that if we remember when we did have the increase, staff's

605
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.680
recommendation was that we don't do this every year.

606
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.620
Hopefully, it's every three to five years. So we're kind of on that plan.

607
00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:41.880
So we're doing exactly, I mean-

608
00:31:42.060 --> 00:31:42.540
Yep

609
00:31:42.550 --> 00:31:44.140
... it's happening just the way y'all said it would.

610
00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:47.380
And if we were just looking at next year or even the next couple of years, you

611
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:51.000
wouldn't see that fall off, and with the removal of the lighting project,

612
00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:55.040
that will take care of that fifth year, at least in this time.

613
00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:56.960
So, we'll bring back

614
00:31:57.800 --> 00:32:01.400
study maintenance assessments, and if something changes and we need to see

615
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.660
options later down the road for the following year, we're happy to do that.

616
00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:05.200
Okay.

617
00:32:05.520 --> 00:32:09.420
And the increase was for our reserves, which is a logical

618
00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:11.730
and correct thing to do. So that was something we-

619
00:32:11.800 --> 00:32:12.980
Well, that was part of it.

620
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:13.340
Yeah, that-

621
00:32:13.350 --> 00:32:14.120
That was part of it.

622
00:32:14.180 --> 00:32:14.380
Right.

623
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:18.240
Part of it was PWAC, too, but it was part of it.

624
00:32:20.120 --> 00:32:23.700
Now that 2% for PWAC, has that already been voted on or-

625
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:24.160
No.

626
00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:28.480
No, that comes up, June is our vote on that?

627
00:32:28.540 --> 00:32:29.180
Yes, June.

628
00:32:33.360 --> 00:32:35.940
And they would be under the same thing after they do that in June.

629
00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.180
They can't go higher. They could go lower, right?

630
00:32:38.620 --> 00:32:38.820
So

631
00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:40.220
my vote

632
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:43.420
to the 2% increase is going to be no.

633
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.020
I mean, is that okay with the board or-

634
00:32:46.320 --> 00:32:46.760
Absolutely

635
00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:50.720
... any rethinking on that? I mean, I'll be

636
00:32:50.820 --> 00:32:52.180
speaking for our board, so...

637
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:55.760
Well, I'll be honest with you, John, when you tell me that a door's going to cost

638
00:32:55.780 --> 00:32:59.750
$7,000, and where are we getting these bids, and how are we paying for all this

639
00:32:59.840 --> 00:33:02.860
stuff, and I know this came up with the board before, the Click thing from Mr.

640
00:33:03.040 --> 00:33:06.900
Mellinger when he was over there, and I know both you and I, John, and

641
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.529
Chuck wasn't here, I think all of us felt like that's quite a shock that it goes

642
00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:14.300
through. And I would like to add to this is I've been present going up to the

643
00:33:14.340 --> 00:33:17.920
Citywide and the SeeClickFix meetings,

644
00:33:18.520 --> 00:33:18.720
and

645
00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:22.180
to staff's credit, we're moving fast ahead of that.

646
00:33:22.190 --> 00:33:25.280
And, from what I understand it, there'll be a dashboard now.

647
00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:29.520
So we'll be able to click on everything, and then that will be able to follow

648
00:33:29.540 --> 00:33:31.740
through and show us exactly where the line item is.

649
00:33:32.340 --> 00:33:35.000
But because I don't know about you guys, this is what I dig through.

650
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:39.200
I'm going through. So these questions that we're asking, it's going to be

651
00:33:39.300 --> 00:33:42.580
so nice if we can just say, "Click. Okay, where did this come from?

652
00:33:42.589 --> 00:33:46.540
Where is the money going? Why?" And we can answer the residents much

653
00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:48.740
easier with the multiple questions that I get.

654
00:33:48.800 --> 00:33:51.260
So that's moving forward very quickly.

655
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:54.280
I plan on having a meeting with them again next month and just see where we're

656
00:33:54.300 --> 00:33:56.260
going, but I'd like to ask the board that, too.

657
00:33:56.320 --> 00:34:00.260
If you were board members, would you want to see a dashboard versus a

658
00:34:00.300 --> 00:34:03.340
webpage so you could be able to easily dig through stuff?

659
00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:05.540
Yeah.

660
00:34:05.940 --> 00:34:06.200
Yeah.

661
00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:08.740
But next decade, are we going to be able to do that?

662
00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:13.281
That is more on the back end for staff to be able to monitor.

663
00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:16.880
But if requested, we will be able to provide the board with any reports or

664
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:18.560
overviews on any of those items.

665
00:34:20.240 --> 00:34:24.160
That's fine. Whenever I go into a computer, I mess it up, so I'm happy with

666
00:34:24.200 --> 00:34:25.000
somebody else doing it.

667
00:34:26.180 --> 00:34:29.960
The other thing is, the last of my report for PWAC, since we're into

668
00:34:30.120 --> 00:34:33.520
90% of it, the entire budget is in the PWAC meeting.

669
00:34:33.680 --> 00:34:37.091
So if you're interested in what all the costs are and where the 2% is coming from

670
00:34:37.120 --> 00:34:40.100
and all that, just go to that and you can see all the data.

671
00:34:40.749 --> 00:34:43.220
Well, I personally have not looked at the PWAC budget.

672
00:34:43.301 --> 00:34:46.660
I did look at your agenda, but I didn't look at the budget itself.

673
00:34:46.801 --> 00:34:50.600
So before I would say, "Yes, I agree to vote no

674
00:34:50.761 --> 00:34:54.020
increase," I would want an opportunity to review that.

675
00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:58.660
So perhaps staff could send out an email later on in

676
00:34:58.700 --> 00:35:00.840
the month before they meet in June

677
00:35:02.220 --> 00:35:02.880
polling us.

678
00:35:03.240 --> 00:35:07.120
We can't. That has to be done in a public meeting. We can't poll you.

679
00:35:07.220 --> 00:35:08.660
Okay. Individually, you can.

680
00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:09.060
Mm-mm.

681
00:35:09.450 --> 00:35:09.450
Okay.

682
00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:11.200
Not and then present it to a board member.

683
00:35:12.210 --> 00:35:14.450
So you keep in mind when

684
00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:19.200
PWAC is going to be voting on it, make sure that you're focused on the project-wide

685
00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:21.460
fund when you're considering the 2%.

686
00:35:22.110 --> 00:35:25.760
And then they don't ask for a vote of approving a 2%.

687
00:35:25.820 --> 00:35:29.140
It's do you approve the budget that includes that 2%?

688
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:33.310
So if not, then if you have an opportunity to look through

689
00:35:33.310 --> 00:35:36.720
that agenda and the budget and you see items that you don't feel are

690
00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:40.560
necessary and you'd like to see them removed so that there isn't a 2%

691
00:35:40.620 --> 00:35:44.210
increase, then it would be appropriate for you to go to the PWAC meeting.

692
00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:48.160
Because a lot of times discussion happens and Mr.

693
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:52.260
Carrigan may have gotten a consensus here to say no, but in the

694
00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:56.120
meeting, it makes sense of why those items are in there or why they

695
00:35:56.180 --> 00:35:59.720
have to be in there. So really that's why you have to defer to his

696
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.500
judgment as to him approving that budget along with the rest of the group,

697
00:36:04.040 --> 00:36:07.600
or the appropriate thing would be, and we have a lot of supervisors that attend the

698
00:36:07.660 --> 00:36:10.590
meetings, if there's going to be something on the agenda that they feel strongly

699
00:36:10.680 --> 00:36:11.000
about

700
00:36:13.284 --> 00:36:17.244
And also, Ms. Williams, I know on the financial committee, I'll meet with anybody

701
00:36:17.304 --> 00:36:20.964
on staff, and if you go sit with anybody, they'll make time for you, and they'll

702
00:36:21.024 --> 00:36:23.124
sit down and explain anybody on the board.

703
00:36:23.154 --> 00:36:24.914
They'll go through it in detail because I don't have an accounting degree.

704
00:36:24.914 --> 00:36:27.084
Oh, I completely agree. I've done it too.

705
00:36:27.094 --> 00:36:29.144
Yeah. That's really a helpful thing from staff too.

706
00:36:29.564 --> 00:36:30.204
Yes, it is.

707
00:36:30.244 --> 00:36:32.804
Yeah. I plan on meeting with the budget staff before-

708
00:36:33.104 --> 00:36:33.364
Sure

709
00:36:33.374 --> 00:36:33.614
... the next meeting.

710
00:36:33.704 --> 00:36:35.174
I think it's healthy for everyone.

711
00:36:35.204 --> 00:36:36.984
There's a couple of things I don't understand.

712
00:36:37.044 --> 00:36:37.444
Yeah.

713
00:36:37.524 --> 00:36:41.414
But John was asking for direction from us, and I was saying maybe

714
00:36:41.424 --> 00:36:45.384
I'm the only one, and so if four of you say no, then John has that

715
00:36:45.403 --> 00:36:47.554
direction. I have not looked at the budget, so.

716
00:36:47.664 --> 00:36:48.174
No, I think-

717
00:36:48.424 --> 00:36:51.664
I haven't either. That's fine. If you find something different,

718
00:36:52.644 --> 00:36:55.264
come to the PWAC meeting. I'll be happy to.

719
00:36:55.524 --> 00:36:59.204
And I thought previously we were encouraged not to go to the PWAC meeting

720
00:36:59.244 --> 00:37:01.703
because we had the representative.

721
00:37:01.824 --> 00:37:02.004
So

722
00:37:02.864 --> 00:37:06.524
I know that when I was on the PWAC, that occurred a couple of times, and

723
00:37:06.724 --> 00:37:07.114
sure.

724
00:37:07.344 --> 00:37:08.964
And generally speaking,

725
00:37:10.124 --> 00:37:13.624
you have a representative for that, but you are

726
00:37:13.724 --> 00:37:17.663
also a taxpayer, and if you have issues, then you

727
00:37:17.724 --> 00:37:20.324
certainly are welcome to attend that and express them.

728
00:37:20.424 --> 00:37:21.514
And again, my

729
00:37:23.084 --> 00:37:25.224
point in saying that was mainly that we have

730
00:37:26.284 --> 00:37:29.864
supervisors not on this board who will encourage residents to come to their

731
00:37:29.924 --> 00:37:33.864
residential district instead of PWAC. Well, that's not where it's noticed.

732
00:37:33.904 --> 00:37:36.484
It's not where it's on the agenda. So just making sure that most of the

733
00:37:36.524 --> 00:37:38.804
conversation that impacts it happens at that meeting.

734
00:37:40.684 --> 00:37:44.664
I just have a quick question. I want to clear something up out of my own head

735
00:37:44.724 --> 00:37:48.004
for Mr. Briones. If, in fact,

736
00:37:49.604 --> 00:37:53.544
John is at the PWAC meeting, and he is there, and then one of us shows

737
00:37:53.624 --> 00:37:57.564
up, or more than one of us shows up and makes comment, isn't

738
00:37:57.624 --> 00:38:00.004
that running afoul of the-

739
00:38:00.064 --> 00:38:03.824
It depends on what the comment is, and keep in mind that the Sunshine Law

740
00:38:03.904 --> 00:38:04.604
applies to

741
00:38:05.704 --> 00:38:09.204
discussions for an item that may foreseeably come before this board for

742
00:38:09.264 --> 00:38:09.724
action.

743
00:38:10.824 --> 00:38:11.964
So the question will be,

744
00:38:12.764 --> 00:38:16.684
is there any action that this board will take concerning

745
00:38:16.724 --> 00:38:18.864
PWAC and the discussion that's taking place?

746
00:38:19.484 --> 00:38:20.344
Okay.

747
00:38:20.424 --> 00:38:24.364
So generally, I would say no, because you really have no authority over

748
00:38:24.384 --> 00:38:26.024
PWAC. They're going to do what they're going to do.

749
00:38:26.104 --> 00:38:27.324
You have a representative there to

750
00:38:29.124 --> 00:38:32.064
let them know whatever it is you want them to do, but they're going to do it

751
00:38:32.264 --> 00:38:34.164
regardless. They have their own board.

752
00:38:34.624 --> 00:38:38.544
So generally, the answer to that is no, but keep in mind, again,

753
00:38:38.584 --> 00:38:42.534
if for some odd reason there's something that they're considering that's also going

754
00:38:42.544 --> 00:38:45.184
to come before this board for a vote, don't talk about it.

755
00:38:47.144 --> 00:38:47.804
Okay. Thank you.

756
00:38:48.184 --> 00:38:50.224
And then on the one statement about the

757
00:38:51.224 --> 00:38:52.364
repair and maintenance,

758
00:38:54.624 --> 00:38:58.464
it sounds like Mr. Lau is asking for some information,

759
00:38:58.624 --> 00:38:58.904
so.

760
00:38:59.544 --> 00:39:03.454
And if you look at your actual budget packet, all of the line items

761
00:39:03.484 --> 00:39:07.284
are there line by line, but we will let you know which one of

762
00:39:07.344 --> 00:39:09.704
those line items are in that repair and maintenance.

763
00:39:10.064 --> 00:39:13.984
Because if you look, it has landscape replacement, landscape reoccurring.

764
00:39:14.104 --> 00:39:16.864
So you do have the line by line on there.

765
00:39:16.924 --> 00:39:20.904
If you have any questions about specific line items, just let us

766
00:39:20.924 --> 00:39:23.604
know, and we can delve into it deeper with you.

767
00:39:23.924 --> 00:39:27.424
But as a follow-up, we will send an email with which one of those line items is in

768
00:39:27.484 --> 00:39:28.744
that repair and maintenance.

769
00:39:29.064 --> 00:39:31.383
But Mr. Lau is specifically saying that Mr.

770
00:39:31.464 --> 00:39:33.784
Harris said we would not have to pay for that.

771
00:39:33.964 --> 00:39:36.934
I don't personally recall that because it's

772
00:39:36.934 --> 00:39:40.564
past the developer and everything, but so I think Mr.

773
00:39:40.784 --> 00:39:44.364
Lau is asking for some very specific information, and so I just want to be

774
00:39:44.424 --> 00:39:45.244
clear.

775
00:39:45.304 --> 00:39:48.964
Yeah, I'm just looking for the minutes to be drawn up, go back, and it's going to

776
00:39:49.004 --> 00:39:52.724
take a while to go back. But the homeowner, unfortunately, has left that approached

777
00:39:52.764 --> 00:39:56.424
me with it. And he says he was at the meeting, and he clearly remembers

778
00:39:56.464 --> 00:40:00.304
hearing that no, it would not cost our district

779
00:40:00.364 --> 00:40:02.184
anything that was under separate contract.

780
00:40:02.604 --> 00:40:06.444
He got paid $2.7 million. We needed fertilizer schedules.

781
00:40:06.564 --> 00:40:08.064
We just got

782
00:40:09.244 --> 00:40:11.604
nematodes, all kinds of crazy stuff.

783
00:40:11.644 --> 00:40:15.564
But anyway, I know it was in there, and I know it was stated again, and I just want

784
00:40:15.644 --> 00:40:19.004
clarification on that as we move forward because I don't think this board, and I

785
00:40:19.044 --> 00:40:22.624
don't think we should be paying for any of it, but that's just where I stand. Okay?

786
00:40:23.104 --> 00:40:26.274
I've said it before, and again, I don't care for Florida Natural.

787
00:40:27.224 --> 00:40:31.034
And I know that it's been discussed in this board, come by my house.

788
00:40:31.264 --> 00:40:35.173
Anybody is free to come by my yard. It has been fertilized exactly the

789
00:40:35.204 --> 00:40:39.184
way it should be, and because of this drought right now, if you look

790
00:40:39.224 --> 00:40:42.604
it up, that grass is made to withstand drought.

791
00:40:43.404 --> 00:40:45.164
And it only needs to be watered once a week.

792
00:40:45.804 --> 00:40:49.644
And my heart goes out to the homeowners, and I'm seeing it because I was up

793
00:40:49.684 --> 00:40:53.144
getting a tooth repaired, and somebody questioned me as a district supervisor,

794
00:40:53.244 --> 00:40:57.194
said, "They're replacing my sod." I said, "Don't replace the sod right now because

795
00:40:57.224 --> 00:40:59.644
you need to water it, and we're under water restriction.

796
00:40:59.684 --> 00:41:03.264
We have no idea when that's going to come true." And it's really starting to affect

797
00:41:03.274 --> 00:41:06.804
the homeowners. So again, transparency, transparency, transparency.

798
00:41:07.404 --> 00:41:09.964
And I know that homeowner actually left Saturday.

799
00:41:10.964 --> 00:41:14.104
And Tina and Mike both know him. And it was there.

800
00:41:14.164 --> 00:41:17.584
It was clearly stated. And I couldn't remember, but I really going to be honest

801
00:41:17.624 --> 00:41:20.204
with you, I don't have time to go back and dig through the minutes from three years

802
00:41:20.264 --> 00:41:23.184
ago. But I'm sure if we dig back, we'll see where that was stated. Thank you.

803
00:41:25.324 --> 00:41:29.254
So, the clerk's office will go through and run a search to see

804
00:41:29.284 --> 00:41:33.164
if we can find that. I don't recall that specifically being

805
00:41:33.184 --> 00:41:37.084
said other than there was a certain time that they

806
00:41:37.124 --> 00:41:40.984
were going to repair, and anything up until that point

807
00:41:41.104 --> 00:41:42.504
wasn't going to be charged to the district.

808
00:41:42.644 --> 00:41:46.504
Moving forward after that, then yes, District 13 was going to

809
00:41:46.544 --> 00:41:50.494
be responsible for it. That's the conversation that I recall, but we can

810
00:41:50.544 --> 00:41:54.494
do a run through the minutes. We can't go and listen to every single

811
00:41:54.504 --> 00:41:58.424
meeting for the last three years and try to determine it, but we'll do our best

812
00:41:58.484 --> 00:41:59.164
to do a search.

813
00:41:59.704 --> 00:42:03.284
That's why I'm so excited for this whole ticket system that I've been talking about

814
00:42:03.324 --> 00:42:06.264
because we would've already seen it on there, it would've already connected to the

815
00:42:06.324 --> 00:42:08.084
minutes, and we would've already been to verify that.

816
00:42:08.224 --> 00:42:12.184
So again, I'm grateful to staff and that we're moving forward Click with the

817
00:42:12.224 --> 00:42:14.184
SeeClickFix and the CityFire. Thank you.

818
00:42:15.628 --> 00:42:19.447
Okay. So I understand the direction is to bring back a flat, no

819
00:42:19.948 --> 00:42:23.628
increase for your maintenance assessments. We just have a couple more quick slides.

820
00:42:24.328 --> 00:42:28.108
We have your debt service fund, and looking at your three phases for the debt

821
00:42:28.168 --> 00:42:31.668
service fund, you are meeting the amortization schedules, and all have a healthy

822
00:42:31.688 --> 00:42:35.148
reserve balance at this time. Nothing noteworthy to speak of.

823
00:42:36.128 --> 00:42:39.848
This concludes the overview of your fiscal year '26-'27 proposed

824
00:42:39.928 --> 00:42:43.848
budget. And at this time, if there's questions, comments further than what

825
00:42:43.888 --> 00:42:45.588
we've had, I'm happy to answer them.

826
00:42:46.068 --> 00:42:49.908
Otherwise, the next step is to bring your proposed budget back to your regular June

827
00:42:50.068 --> 00:42:52.468
8th meeting and look for your approval.

828
00:42:55.928 --> 00:42:57.368
Any additional comment? No.

829
00:42:58.528 --> 00:42:58.728
Okay.

830
00:42:59.048 --> 00:42:59.748
Thank you very much.

831
00:43:01.868 --> 00:43:01.877
Thank you.

832
00:43:03.588 --> 00:43:05.568
Okay, next on the agenda is old business.

833
00:43:06.828 --> 00:43:07.508
Yes, ma'am.

834
00:43:11.008 --> 00:43:14.908
The first item on old business will be removed. It is the villa entry lighting.

835
00:43:15.608 --> 00:43:19.508
The second item is one that the board has asked us to remain

836
00:43:19.568 --> 00:43:22.988
on, which is the FEMA reimbursement update, and as soon as we have an update, we

837
00:43:23.008 --> 00:43:23.768
will provide it.

838
00:43:24.888 --> 00:43:28.788
Number one on non-District 13 items is the sod concerns, and as

839
00:43:28.848 --> 00:43:32.768
I said, we'll go through and try to find out as much as we can for

840
00:43:32.788 --> 00:43:36.448
Supervisor Law. And then finally, it was to determine if a

841
00:43:36.508 --> 00:43:39.628
cement post can be installed to protect the fire hydrant, and that has been

842
00:43:39.668 --> 00:43:40.148
completed.

843
00:43:41.168 --> 00:43:42.248
Looks very nice, by the way.

844
00:43:42.528 --> 00:43:43.267
Thanks.

845
00:43:46.668 --> 00:43:47.368
Great improvement.

846
00:43:47.628 --> 00:43:47.828
Yeah.

847
00:43:48.008 --> 00:43:50.328
It's better get someone to watch that fire hydrant again.

848
00:43:52.908 --> 00:43:56.388
Okay, next on our agenda is our informational items with financial

849
00:43:56.448 --> 00:43:58.508
statements. Are there any questions or

850
00:43:59.308 --> 00:44:01.268
comments through the financial statements?

851
00:44:04.168 --> 00:44:07.168
No. And registered voter information was included.

852
00:44:10.008 --> 00:44:11.588
VPM monthly reports.

853
00:44:18.588 --> 00:44:19.748
District manager report.

854
00:44:20.388 --> 00:44:22.968
Yes, ma'am. The only item I have is for Ms.

855
00:44:23.028 --> 00:44:26.748
Allison Brennan, who's our community relations coordinator, to give you an

856
00:44:26.808 --> 00:44:30.468
update on an exciting new enhancement that we have coming to our

857
00:44:30.508 --> 00:44:32.828
existing e-notification system.

858
00:44:36.128 --> 00:44:38.468
Good afternoon. My name is Allison Brennan.

859
00:44:38.628 --> 00:44:42.508
I am the community relations coordinator, and I'm really excited

860
00:44:42.628 --> 00:44:46.508
to present to you today a significant step forward

861
00:44:46.548 --> 00:44:50.288
in how we communicate with our residents, the launch of our SailThru

862
00:44:50.508 --> 00:44:52.028
e-notification platform.

863
00:44:53.728 --> 00:44:56.708
I'd like to start with a quick overview of what this platform does.

864
00:44:57.208 --> 00:45:00.908
At its core, SailThru allows us to centralize communication across all

865
00:45:01.008 --> 00:45:03.488
district departments into one system.

866
00:45:04.018 --> 00:45:07.448
This creates consistency, improves coordination, and ensures

867
00:45:07.548 --> 00:45:10.088
residents receive clear and timely information.

868
00:45:10.868 --> 00:45:13.168
One of the key benefits is targeted outreach.

869
00:45:13.628 --> 00:45:17.438
We can send messages to specific groups by district, service area, or

870
00:45:17.548 --> 00:45:20.468
impacted residents rather than sending broad,

871
00:45:20.568 --> 00:45:22.848
one-size-fits-all communication.

872
00:45:23.648 --> 00:45:27.388
It supports both scheduled and real-time notifications, such as boiled water

873
00:45:27.428 --> 00:45:31.328
notices, while giving us engagement data so we can continually improve

874
00:45:31.368 --> 00:45:32.308
how we communicate.

875
00:45:34.728 --> 00:45:38.448
To make sure this was implemented effectively, we followed a structured rollout

876
00:45:38.508 --> 00:45:38.928
approach.

877
00:45:41.088 --> 00:45:44.748
We approached implementation in phases, starting with

878
00:45:44.808 --> 00:45:48.568
defining requirements and building workflows, then moving into data

879
00:45:48.628 --> 00:45:50.788
preparation, testing, and staff training.

880
00:45:51.448 --> 00:45:55.248
From there, we will conduct a limited rollout, which will start

881
00:45:55.428 --> 00:45:59.188
next week on Monday, to monitor performance, address

882
00:45:59.528 --> 00:46:03.088
any early issues, and refine the system before full implementation.

883
00:46:03.968 --> 00:46:07.228
This phased approach ensures stability and long-term success.

884
00:46:08.288 --> 00:46:11.848
With the system in place, our focus shifts to what we want to achieve with

885
00:46:11.868 --> 00:46:14.398
it. Our objectives are straightforward.

886
00:46:14.868 --> 00:46:18.788
First, improve clarity and consistency so residents can easily

887
00:46:18.828 --> 00:46:20.928
understand and act on information.

888
00:46:21.688 --> 00:46:25.468
Second, shift to a more proactive communication, making sure

889
00:46:25.568 --> 00:46:28.788
residents are informed ahead of time rather than after the fact.

890
00:46:29.408 --> 00:46:33.088
And third, establish a modern, scalable communications framework that

891
00:46:33.128 --> 00:46:34.467
supports long-term growth.

892
00:46:36.648 --> 00:46:40.298
In order to support this, we've also introduced a more structured communication

893
00:46:40.428 --> 00:46:40.948
cadence.

894
00:46:42.648 --> 00:46:45.728
We've created a predictable rhythm for communication.

895
00:46:45.788 --> 00:46:49.608
Residents will receive a what's happening update on Mondays

896
00:46:50.008 --> 00:46:52.058
focused on events and community activity.

897
00:46:52.708 --> 00:46:56.118
On Thursday, the district bulletin will provide more targeted

898
00:46:56.168 --> 00:47:00.108
operational updates. In addition, quarterly publications will

899
00:47:00.148 --> 00:47:03.888
highlight key departments such as district property management, public

900
00:47:03.948 --> 00:47:06.988
safety, community watch, and golf operations.

901
00:47:07.048 --> 00:47:11.028
This consistency helps set expectations and builds trust with residents.

902
00:47:13.248 --> 00:47:17.038
Beyond delivery, this platform also gives us valuable insight into

903
00:47:17.048 --> 00:47:17.527
performance.

904
00:47:18.598 --> 00:47:22.358
SailThru provides visibility into engagement such as open rates,

905
00:47:22.508 --> 00:47:25.428
click-through rates, and audience trends over time.

906
00:47:25.468 --> 00:47:29.448
It also ensures consistent communication across all districts and improves

907
00:47:29.488 --> 00:47:31.928
coordination during routine updates in emergency

908
00:47:32.008 --> 00:47:35.948
situations. From a governance perspective, this allows us

909
00:47:35.988 --> 00:47:39.748
to provide standardized reporting to leadership and boards, supporting

910
00:47:39.828 --> 00:47:42.368
transparency and informed decision-making.

911
00:47:44.628 --> 00:47:47.428
And ultimately, this leads to long-term value for the

912
00:47:47.468 --> 00:47:51.108
organization. This platform strengthens trust by delivering clear,

913
00:47:51.208 --> 00:47:54.888
consistent communication while supporting scalable growth as the

914
00:47:54.908 --> 00:47:58.668
district continues to grow and provides the data needed to guide

915
00:47:58.748 --> 00:48:02.728
strategic decision-making. In short, this is about building a more efficient,

916
00:48:02.848 --> 00:48:05.728
transparent, and trusted communication system for the future.

917
00:48:07.208 --> 00:48:10.808
Thank you for your time today, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

918
00:48:12.888 --> 00:48:16.168
Are these emails just going to go to people who have already signed up for

919
00:48:16.208 --> 00:48:18.084
the-District news or?

920
00:48:18.424 --> 00:48:19.524
You mean the emails next week?

921
00:48:19.764 --> 00:48:19.884
Yeah.

922
00:48:20.204 --> 00:48:23.344
Yes. So if you've already signed up for any of the district

923
00:48:23.404 --> 00:48:26.984
e-notifications, everything's going to be transferred over to SailThru, and we're

924
00:48:27.024 --> 00:48:30.184
going to be phasing out emails starting next week.

925
00:48:30.884 --> 00:48:34.744
So we'll start on Monday with a select group and see how that goes and analyze the

926
00:48:34.784 --> 00:48:38.404
data and then proceed from there, whether we need to increase or slow

927
00:48:38.484 --> 00:48:42.324
down, because we want to make sure that everything's going well each

928
00:48:42.344 --> 00:48:42.604
day.

929
00:48:42.804 --> 00:48:43.224
So-

930
00:48:43.344 --> 00:48:44.054
Keep a close eye

931
00:48:44.264 --> 00:48:45.364
... we're not going to get emails?

932
00:48:45.884 --> 00:48:48.124
You will, but it's a two-week rollout.

933
00:48:48.524 --> 00:48:50.624
So it's going to be within the next two weeks.

934
00:48:50.944 --> 00:48:50.984
Okay.

935
00:48:51.004 --> 00:48:54.984
So it'll be a certain amount of people each day, depending on what list that

936
00:48:55.004 --> 00:48:55.664
you're signed up for.

937
00:48:56.204 --> 00:48:59.584
Are we going to advertise this?

938
00:49:00.144 --> 00:49:03.504
How many residents are signed up for the e-notifications now?

939
00:49:03.984 --> 00:49:07.104
I would have to get you a specific number, but I can get that back to you.

940
00:49:07.164 --> 00:49:10.784
We've been consolidating some of the lists because some of them did have some

941
00:49:10.884 --> 00:49:13.374
duplications and such, so we were working on

942
00:49:14.624 --> 00:49:18.024
getting all of those aligned appropriately.

943
00:49:19.084 --> 00:49:19.114
Good.

944
00:49:19.164 --> 00:49:22.524
I know, because people that I talk to, I say, "You can get email

945
00:49:22.564 --> 00:49:23.744
notifications." They go, "What?"

946
00:49:24.344 --> 00:49:24.434
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

947
00:49:24.464 --> 00:49:27.124
So there's probably a lot of people out there that don't know.

948
00:49:27.684 --> 00:49:31.304
So with a more sophisticated system like this, we might want to do something to-

949
00:49:31.544 --> 00:49:31.704
Correct

950
00:49:31.924 --> 00:49:34.144
... let the residents know that this is available.

951
00:49:34.184 --> 00:49:37.524
Yep. So we do have a plan to start pushing out

952
00:49:37.604 --> 00:49:40.674
information to residents after our board presentation. So.

953
00:49:40.704 --> 00:49:41.004
Great.

954
00:49:41.064 --> 00:49:44.964
And we just wanted to get everything over first because you have to be

955
00:49:45.044 --> 00:49:49.024
very careful, and as Allison stated, we're only doing small amounts at a time, or

956
00:49:49.084 --> 00:49:52.544
you get blacklisted. And then trying to get un-blacklisted is a nightmare.

957
00:49:52.944 --> 00:49:56.384
So once we get everything and we get our email addresses

958
00:49:56.924 --> 00:50:00.364
and we were confirmed that we're good, that's when you'll start seeing a huge

959
00:50:00.444 --> 00:50:02.564
communication push to get residents to sign up.

960
00:50:02.704 --> 00:50:03.304
Okay, good.

961
00:50:04.634 --> 00:50:05.684
Any other questions?

962
00:50:07.444 --> 00:50:07.724
Thank you.

963
00:50:07.764 --> 00:50:07.874
Thank you.

964
00:50:07.874 --> 00:50:08.304
Thank you.

965
00:50:10.404 --> 00:50:13.794
Well, all that's very good information, too, because when people ask me questions,

966
00:50:13.884 --> 00:50:16.264
I can usually answer them by the email that I've got, so

967
00:50:17.244 --> 00:50:17.244
.

968
00:50:17.304 --> 00:50:17.564
Good.

969
00:50:20.604 --> 00:50:21.744
Anything else from the second?

970
00:50:22.184 --> 00:50:22.564
No, ma'am.

971
00:50:23.584 --> 00:50:24.594
District council reports?

972
00:50:24.764 --> 00:50:25.324
No reports.

973
00:50:25.464 --> 00:50:26.143
No reports.

974
00:50:27.124 --> 00:50:30.144
Supervisor comments? Kerrigan, you have anything else?

975
00:50:30.184 --> 00:50:30.414
Something that-

976
00:50:30.444 --> 00:50:33.944
There's one more. They reemphasized the golf

977
00:50:34.064 --> 00:50:35.304
rules for golf carts.

978
00:50:37.824 --> 00:50:38.024
For

979
00:50:41.144 --> 00:50:43.864
the championship courses, it's two carts

980
00:50:44.964 --> 00:50:45.604
on the course.

981
00:50:46.584 --> 00:50:50.364
If you are not a member of the

982
00:50:50.424 --> 00:50:54.344
group that's signed in, if you signed into a group and you are

983
00:50:54.384 --> 00:50:56.523
outside of it, then they'll allow three carts.

984
00:50:57.624 --> 00:51:01.484
And that's true for all the courses, including the executive

985
00:51:01.584 --> 00:51:05.404
courses. There's only one deviation to

986
00:51:05.464 --> 00:51:08.984
that, is if the course has continuous golf paths,

987
00:51:09.464 --> 00:51:12.684
including the par fours, then they will allow four carts

988
00:51:13.084 --> 00:51:14.844
regardless of how you signed up.

989
00:51:15.924 --> 00:51:19.604
And there seems to still be a little bit of confusion about that,

990
00:51:19.704 --> 00:51:23.564
but Dave said that he was definitely going to make sure all his staff

991
00:51:23.624 --> 00:51:26.924
understand that for a continuous golf cart

992
00:51:27.824 --> 00:51:31.324
course, that four carts will be allowed, no questions asked.

993
00:51:32.364 --> 00:51:36.084
Now, when it is and you're on a par four, you'll only allow it to be

994
00:51:36.204 --> 00:51:38.264
two carts off the golf path.

995
00:51:39.324 --> 00:51:42.814
So if you're on a continuous executive course with four carts,

996
00:51:43.304 --> 00:51:47.244
when you get to a par four, only two will be allowed to leave the cart path.

997
00:51:48.304 --> 00:51:52.244
And if you want the full information on that, it's also provided in the

998
00:51:52.284 --> 00:51:53.344
PWAC package.

999
00:51:54.304 --> 00:51:55.444
It's about a four-page

1000
00:51:56.724 --> 00:51:57.004
thing.

1001
00:51:59.824 --> 00:52:02.904
We asked them to readjust it a little bit because it gives you all the things, and

1002
00:52:02.944 --> 00:52:06.844
then at the very bottom, it gives an exception, and most of us

1003
00:52:06.904 --> 00:52:10.124
didn't read that exception, which is for the four carts

1004
00:52:10.184 --> 00:52:14.044
allowed in the executive course with continuous

1005
00:52:14.924 --> 00:52:15.364
paths.

1006
00:52:17.164 --> 00:52:17.623
That's it.

1007
00:52:19.904 --> 00:52:20.864
Supervisor Grubbs?

1008
00:52:21.664 --> 00:52:22.023
I'm good.

1009
00:52:22.844 --> 00:52:23.124
Law?

1010
00:52:24.164 --> 00:52:27.984
Water restrictions. I don't know if anybody else is hearing it on the board,

1011
00:52:28.064 --> 00:52:28.244
but

1012
00:52:29.284 --> 00:52:33.164
no matter where I'm at, I'm hearing about when can I water, when can't I water,

1013
00:52:33.244 --> 00:52:37.023
what time is it? And I was actually on my computer doing my little

1014
00:52:37.284 --> 00:52:41.164
stock stuff, and my neighbor goes, "Whoa, you just got caught." I'm like, "What are

1015
00:52:41.184 --> 00:52:44.294
you talking about?" And he goes, "Community Watch was out here, and you watered

1016
00:52:44.384 --> 00:52:48.334
after 8:00 on Monday day." And I'm like, "What?" So I was even a little confused.

1017
00:52:48.364 --> 00:52:51.104
So I would like to see somehow the clarity.

1018
00:52:51.114 --> 00:52:53.064
A lot of people are going back to snowbirds now.

1019
00:52:53.124 --> 00:52:54.724
We don't know how to set our controllers.

1020
00:52:56.104 --> 00:52:59.044
It's just out there. Another question that I had that I don't know if we can get

1021
00:52:59.104 --> 00:53:02.844
to, I dug in with the one supervisor a little bit about the different

1022
00:53:02.904 --> 00:53:04.924
aquifers, which one we're pulling from, what not.

1023
00:53:05.284 --> 00:53:07.404
I don't know if you guys are getting the same questions I'm getting.

1024
00:53:07.984 --> 00:53:11.204
How are these ponds full and these are empty, and why is this this way?

1025
00:53:11.744 --> 00:53:14.954
I don't have a clue of seeing it. So anything that we could do to help us or any

1026
00:53:14.984 --> 00:53:18.924
information you could give us as a staff, like to answer any of these questions, or

1027
00:53:19.404 --> 00:53:22.604
just I got to come and spend a little more time with you about that, because I know

1028
00:53:22.624 --> 00:53:25.404
at one point he stated we are not sucking water from pond to pond.

1029
00:53:25.434 --> 00:53:28.294
And then my one neighbor's like, "They are, because I watch it go up and down." And

1030
00:53:28.294 --> 00:53:31.184
I'm like, "Well, that's all part of your watering system." And so,

1031
00:53:32.244 --> 00:53:33.594
I'd like to see a little more clarity on that.

1032
00:53:33.664 --> 00:53:37.654
Come to the June PWAC meeting. The organization that handles all the

1033
00:53:37.664 --> 00:53:41.424
transfers of water and how they control it is going to give a presentation to

1034
00:53:41.444 --> 00:53:41.884
PWAC.

1035
00:53:43.444 --> 00:53:44.444
Can you send me the cliff notes?

1036
00:53:45.624 --> 00:53:49.184
I can. That'll be in my report, if you want to wait for

1037
00:53:49.244 --> 00:53:49.864
that.

1038
00:53:49.924 --> 00:53:51.964
I might come and hear that. Yeah, that'd be great.

1039
00:53:53.664 --> 00:53:57.614
So anything that we could clarify where to go, not

1040
00:53:57.644 --> 00:53:59.444
go, something they could go look at.

1041
00:53:59.944 --> 00:54:02.944
Something just make residents more easy to go figure it out.

1042
00:54:03.024 --> 00:54:05.724
I know my neighbors have said, "Go into your control box, watch this, make it

1043
00:54:05.784 --> 00:54:09.484
Monday. You can water between these two times." And I don't know, something that we

1044
00:54:09.524 --> 00:54:13.184
can maybe put out, especially when people are leaving, because their system's going

1045
00:54:13.204 --> 00:54:15.484
to be going off, and I don't think we got any rain coming soon.

1046
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:19.860
That's it. Thank you.

1047
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:21.980
I've got it on.

1048
00:54:24.520 --> 00:54:28.360
I agree with the water restrictions, because when I get

1049
00:54:28.420 --> 00:54:32.140
questions, I have to go back and try to figure out where am I going to find it to

1050
00:54:32.200 --> 00:54:34.440
tell someone what day they're supposed to be watering.

1051
00:54:35.660 --> 00:54:39.200
But I don't know how we solve that. I don't know how we solve it.

1052
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:43.080
I'm not sure how the district solves it, because most of us, either

1053
00:54:43.140 --> 00:54:47.059
we're in touch and we want to get the emails, or we don't.

1054
00:54:47.180 --> 00:54:49.860
And people that don't are not going to

1055
00:54:50.940 --> 00:54:54.120
do anything, and I don't know. So you got reported.

1056
00:54:54.180 --> 00:54:54.940
Did you get an-

1057
00:54:55.680 --> 00:54:56.460
Didn't get anything yet

1058
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:56.860
... additional notice?

1059
00:54:57.100 --> 00:54:57.220
No.

1060
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:02.240
The community watch is looking, and

1061
00:55:02.520 --> 00:55:06.080
they'll report it to, I forget which group they report it to, but they will send a

1062
00:55:06.120 --> 00:55:10.110
letter. But the letter, it just says, "There's a water

1063
00:55:10.200 --> 00:55:13.520
shortage. Please only water..." And they'll give you the instructions for what to

1064
00:55:13.580 --> 00:55:17.080
do. I don't think it goes any further than that, does it, Carrie?

1065
00:55:17.900 --> 00:55:19.780
We have to report it to Swiftbud-

1066
00:55:19.910 --> 00:55:19.910
Yeah

1067
00:55:19.910 --> 00:55:21.800
... but I'm not aware if they do anything with it.

1068
00:55:22.240 --> 00:55:25.640
Yeah. It's more of an awareness thing to keep people.

1069
00:55:27.040 --> 00:55:30.520
I know it'd be kind of redundant, but maybe in the weekly bulletin, we need to put

1070
00:55:30.560 --> 00:55:34.260
it in there every week, so don't have to go back five, six, eight,

1071
00:55:34.420 --> 00:55:37.360
ten weeks, however long, whenever it changed last.

1072
00:55:37.980 --> 00:55:41.380
Allison is responsible for that wonderful weekly bulletin that you get-

1073
00:55:41.480 --> 00:55:41.490
Yeah

1074
00:55:41.490 --> 00:55:42.780
... so I'm sure she's taking a note.

1075
00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:43.160
Yeah.

1076
00:55:43.380 --> 00:55:46.800
I'm also right now sending an email to the clerk with all of the

1077
00:55:46.840 --> 00:55:50.260
information on a link to get, so you'll have that this afternoon.

1078
00:55:50.600 --> 00:55:50.910
Thank you.

1079
00:55:51.020 --> 00:55:54.640
Wasn't there something the district had already put out

1080
00:55:54.740 --> 00:55:58.300
about what days you can water and what times you can water?

1081
00:55:58.380 --> 00:55:59.660
Because I know I read something.

1082
00:56:00.200 --> 00:56:02.420
I'm resending it to you, just so you have it at the top of your-

1083
00:56:02.590 --> 00:56:02.590
Okay

1084
00:56:02.590 --> 00:56:03.060
... your mailbox.

1085
00:56:03.120 --> 00:56:03.680
Okay.

1086
00:56:06.560 --> 00:56:10.520
Yeah, it's been put out a lot, but like the gentleman that came to our meeting a

1087
00:56:10.560 --> 00:56:14.000
number of months ago and wondering why nobody comes to our meetings,

1088
00:56:16.120 --> 00:56:18.820
a lot of people don't read the newspaper or don't read those parts.

1089
00:56:18.830 --> 00:56:22.800
So I don't know what, unless you're driving

1090
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:25.320
down the street with a megaphone and telling everybody what the

1091
00:56:26.520 --> 00:56:29.120
water restrictions are, it's really hard to get to everybody.

1092
00:56:29.590 --> 00:56:33.340
Yeah, a lot of people, they don't use their phones, or they're not tech-savvy or

1093
00:56:33.360 --> 00:56:35.500
anything. They're not reading it. They're out enjoying their day.

1094
00:56:35.900 --> 00:56:39.580
When it comes to government, though, if you don't have people in your meetings,

1095
00:56:39.620 --> 00:56:40.960
that means you're doing something right.

1096
00:56:41.250 --> 00:56:41.340
Mm.

1097
00:56:41.540 --> 00:56:44.900
Typically with government meetings, if you have a room full of people, then they do

1098
00:56:44.940 --> 00:56:46.410
not like something that you are doing.

1099
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:48.070
I agree.

1100
00:56:48.070 --> 00:56:48.840
We've been there before.

1101
00:56:48.940 --> 00:56:50.280
That's very true.

1102
00:56:50.780 --> 00:56:51.760
We've been there before.

1103
00:56:52.940 --> 00:56:55.540
Okay, I don't have any additional comments either.

1104
00:56:55.580 --> 00:56:56.880
There's a lady who would like to say something.

1105
00:56:56.940 --> 00:56:57.540
Oh, I'm sorry.

1106
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:01.980
You'll have to come up here. State your name and your address again, please.

1107
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:06.120
Kathleen Conte again, 4437 Winnington Circle.

1108
00:57:06.560 --> 00:57:10.020
It's a little confusing about the time of the meeting, the

1109
00:57:11.060 --> 00:57:14.329
Monday before the second Friday or something. Very confusing.

1110
00:57:14.680 --> 00:57:18.160
Why can't you just put a date up? Monday, like today.

1111
00:57:19.780 --> 00:57:22.600
So we do have all of the dates listed on the website-

1112
00:57:22.680 --> 00:57:22.690
Oh

1113
00:57:22.690 --> 00:57:24.520
... but for advertising purposes.

1114
00:57:24.600 --> 00:57:28.360
Unfortunately, the second Monday of the month is not

1115
00:57:28.380 --> 00:57:30.920
always the Monday before the second Friday.

1116
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:31.359
Yeah.

1117
00:57:31.640 --> 00:57:35.520
It is very confusing. But in order for it always to be the same

1118
00:57:35.580 --> 00:57:37.840
time as the other meetings every month...

1119
00:57:39.500 --> 00:57:41.400
Again, we're government, we like to make it confusing.

1120
00:57:42.620 --> 00:57:46.570
But the dates are on the website, and our clerk's office can verify as

1121
00:57:46.600 --> 00:57:48.760
well.

1122
00:57:49.140 --> 00:57:52.260
Fortunately, you guys send us an email so we know when to be here, otherwise...

1123
00:57:52.300 --> 00:57:54.940
Yes. We like to remind you to be here.

1124
00:57:55.560 --> 00:57:57.020
We can't get work done if you don't.

1125
00:57:58.980 --> 00:58:00.100
Okay. Can we get a motion?

1126
00:58:01.420 --> 00:58:04.040
I'd like to make a motion that the meeting adjourns.

1127
00:58:04.120 --> 00:58:04.840
I'll second that.

1128
00:58:05.200 --> 00:58:06.060
All in favor?

1129
00:58:06.140 --> 00:58:06.480
Aye.

1130
00:58:06.600 --> 00:58:06.710
Aye.

1131
00:58:06.710 --> 00:58:08.160
Aye. That ends our meeting.
