00:00:00.445 --> 00:00:01.485
Chairman, I thank you, sir.

2
00:00:03.115 --> 00:00:04.445
Good morning everyone, and welcome

3
00:00:04.465 --> 00:00:07.405
to the Village Community Development District five Meeting

4
00:00:07.405 --> 00:00:08.685
of the Board of Supervisors.

5
00:00:08.685 --> 00:00:10.205
Appreciate you being here today.

6
00:00:10.745 --> 00:00:13.645
As we begin all our meetings, we have a roll call of

7
00:00:13.645 --> 00:00:15.125
who is present, uh,

8
00:00:15.125 --> 00:00:18.565
which would be Mr. Walter Martin present, Jerry Nolan.

9
00:00:18.675 --> 00:00:22.805
Here, Jerry Lesi present. Mark Sweer is excused today.

10
00:00:22.865 --> 00:00:24.845
And I'm Gary Cato, serving as your chair.

11
00:00:26.025 --> 00:00:28.485
If you would please rise for the ledge of allegiance

12
00:00:28.905 --> 00:00:30.765
and followed by a brief moment of silence.

13
00:00:33.115 --> 00:00:35.885
Alright, I pledge allegiance,

14
00:00:37.905 --> 00:00:39.365
United States of America

15
00:00:40.105 --> 00:00:45.045
and Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

16
00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:46.925
indivisible, with Liberty.

17
00:00:46.925 --> 00:00:48.845
Liberty and justice. All.

18
00:00:55.055 --> 00:00:56.525
Thank you. You may be seated.

19
00:01:01.875 --> 00:01:03.965
Well, I was gonna go through my welcome speech today,

20
00:01:04.025 --> 00:01:06.925
but looking at the audience, I think probably most

21
00:01:06.925 --> 00:01:08.925
of you could come and run the meeting if you needed to.

22
00:01:08.925 --> 00:01:11.845
You've been here enough. Nice to see you again, Lee, while

23
00:01:13.865 --> 00:01:15.725
Mr. Shields, is he still in a room with us?

24
00:01:16.145 --> 00:01:19.525
Ien by the podium. Okay, Ken. Thank you. And Cliff.

25
00:01:21.515 --> 00:01:25.205
Okay, first thing on our agenda, item two A, uh,

26
00:01:25.325 --> 00:01:27.125
I was not at the last, uh, meeting.

27
00:01:27.545 --> 00:01:28.685
I'd like to thank the vice chair,

28
00:01:28.685 --> 00:01:30.445
even though he is not here today for taking that for me.

29
00:01:30.985 --> 00:01:35.045
Uh, uh, the approval of the minutes, which will require a,

30
00:01:35.145 --> 00:01:37.885
uh, a motion and also approval

31
00:01:38.985 --> 00:01:40.365
of the, uh, purchase orders.

32
00:01:40.665 --> 00:01:42.765
So the minutes I know you've had in advance.

33
00:01:43.665 --> 00:01:47.365
Any questions regarding the minutes from the board? Okay.

34
00:01:48.145 --> 00:01:51.405
Uh, you also have an agreement, what do we call it?

35
00:01:51.565 --> 00:01:54.445
The honey de of exterior painting

36
00:01:54.725 --> 00:01:56.045
services wall and so forth.

37
00:01:56.505 --> 00:01:58.045
Uh, that was under two B.

38
00:01:59.395 --> 00:02:00.965
That also would require a motion,

39
00:02:01.065 --> 00:02:03.005
but we can combine the two into one motion

40
00:02:03.105 --> 00:02:05.765
for both items two A and two B.

41
00:02:06.295 --> 00:02:08.045
There are any questions on either one of those?

42
00:02:08.115 --> 00:02:10.765
We'd entertain 'em now. Okay.

43
00:02:11.225 --> 00:02:12.485
May I have a motion then please?

44
00:02:12.745 --> 00:02:16.565
Motion to, uh, approve the consent agenda as submitted.

45
00:02:16.875 --> 00:02:17.885
Okay. The second,

46
00:02:18.385 --> 00:02:19.165
Second. Second.

47
00:02:19.955 --> 00:02:22.245
It's been moved and seconded to accept the approval

48
00:02:22.265 --> 00:02:25.405
of the minutes and the purchase order utilization, uh,

49
00:02:25.405 --> 00:02:27.845
to piggyback agreements in item two B.

50
00:02:28.265 --> 00:02:32.085
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

51
00:02:33.025 --> 00:02:37.925
So moved. New business, Mr.

52
00:02:38.115 --> 00:02:40.885
Felicia, nice to see you back again and again.

53
00:02:41.425 --> 00:02:42.445
You're in our prayers.

54
00:02:42.735 --> 00:02:44.085
Thank you. Uh,

55
00:02:44.085 --> 00:02:46.765
but I'm sorry to say that I was sick yesterday,

56
00:02:46.945 --> 00:02:48.845
so I was not, uh, able

57
00:02:48.865 --> 00:02:51.045
to attend the project wide advisory committee,

58
00:02:51.625 --> 00:02:53.405
so I can't comment on the agenda.

59
00:02:53.995 --> 00:02:56.925
Okay. I believe Mr. Noel, uh, was there in your absence?

60
00:02:57.325 --> 00:03:00.085
I was, and, uh, it was a,

61
00:03:03.805 --> 00:03:07.205
a meeting that had a few items in it, that, of, of interest.

62
00:03:07.385 --> 00:03:10.925
Mm-hmm. There was the approval of the award of an invitation

63
00:03:10.945 --> 00:03:13.605
to bid Lake Sumter Landing Shoreline resentment project

64
00:03:14.385 --> 00:03:19.245
that's approximately $800,000,

65
00:03:19.345 --> 00:03:21.765
and that includes all of the construction work

66
00:03:21.785 --> 00:03:23.085
and construction management.

67
00:03:24.705 --> 00:03:27.485
Uh, there was the, uh, review

68
00:03:27.485 --> 00:03:29.645
and approval of the recommendation to Sumter Landing

69
00:03:30.675 --> 00:03:32.845
Development, dis Community Development District for

70
00:03:34.085 --> 00:03:37.685
purchase order, utilizing a certain agreement with TE Tech

71
00:03:38.065 --> 00:03:39.805
for the HVAC design

72
00:03:39.945 --> 00:03:42.325
and construction engineering services

73
00:03:42.985 --> 00:03:44.445
at Lake, my rec center.

74
00:03:44.465 --> 00:03:47.845
And that was for approximately 1.6 million.

75
00:03:50.295 --> 00:03:51.845
There was some review of

76
00:03:56.785 --> 00:03:59.965
the award for invitation to bid for the sound systems for,

77
00:04:00.265 --> 00:04:01.565
for various rec centers.

78
00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:05.005
10 rec centers involved are gonna get new sound systems.

79
00:04:06.065 --> 00:04:10.925
Um, seven of the, uh, regionals

80
00:04:10.985 --> 00:04:12.725
and three of the neighborhood rec centers

81
00:04:13.285 --> 00:04:14.805
gonna be taken care of.

82
00:04:15.225 --> 00:04:17.605
The rest of the items on the, uh, agenda for the,

83
00:04:17.605 --> 00:04:19.365
that they were discussion items

84
00:04:19.985 --> 00:04:23.005
and, no, no, uh, pretty much routine making,

85
00:04:23.545 --> 00:04:26.125
but that's, that's my report for yesterday's PWAC meeting.

86
00:04:26.435 --> 00:04:28.885
Okay. Any questions regarding the PAC report?

87
00:04:31.025 --> 00:04:32.405
One question. Yes, sir.

88
00:04:33.425 --> 00:04:37.125
The sound system, are we talking about a sound system

89
00:04:37.455 --> 00:04:40.125
where you can, if you have a club meeting

90
00:04:40.145 --> 00:04:42.365
or something, you plug into the sound system

91
00:04:42.625 --> 00:04:44.605
and it goes to the rec center sound

92
00:04:44.605 --> 00:04:46.165
system, not a standalone?

93
00:04:46.505 --> 00:04:51.205
That's correct. Okay. Was video included in any of those?

94
00:04:51.205 --> 00:04:54.445
Do you know? Uh, there is some video work being done where,

95
00:04:54.945 --> 00:04:58.765
uh, those, those rec centers that have the old system,

96
00:04:58.955 --> 00:05:01.405
they're now gonna be getting a, a drop down system

97
00:05:01.405 --> 00:05:03.285
that's built into the, into the ceiling.

98
00:05:03.715 --> 00:05:07.325
Okay. Obviously, I think I'm technically challenged

99
00:05:07.325 --> 00:05:09.645
because when I click on the videos, I don't get the video,

100
00:05:09.745 --> 00:05:12.005
but I do get the audio, so I gotta

101
00:05:12.055 --> 00:05:13.325
check with somebody on that.

102
00:05:14.995 --> 00:05:19.365
Okay. Uh, that is not,

103
00:05:19.735 --> 00:05:21.645
let's see, the next item

104
00:05:21.775 --> 00:05:24.365
after, um, project wide advisory,

105
00:05:24.835 --> 00:05:29.685
there's no motion required on that, uh, is the item three b,

106
00:05:29.695 --> 00:05:31.325
acceptance of the audit report,

107
00:05:32.015 --> 00:05:34.605
which I'm sure everybody has gone through in great detail.

108
00:05:34.805 --> 00:05:36.165
I know we had that well in advance.

109
00:05:37.025 --> 00:05:39.645
Are there any questions at this point on the audit report?

110
00:05:41.085 --> 00:05:43.805
I think we have a presentation here. Yes, sir.

111
00:05:43.905 --> 00:05:46.165
I'm sorry, I didn't hear present any. My mistake.

112
00:05:46.605 --> 00:05:49.805
I love 'em when they go that way. That's okay. No.

113
00:05:49.865 --> 00:05:52.925
Uh, Sean Boyle Finance, uh, as you know, just

114
00:05:52.925 --> 00:05:55.325
for your audience, district five is required

115
00:05:55.325 --> 00:05:58.965
to have an audit each year of the financial statements

116
00:05:59.025 --> 00:06:00.205
by an independent firm.

117
00:06:01.225 --> 00:06:03.965
Uh, this firm actually works for the board.

118
00:06:04.465 --> 00:06:06.445
Um, you hire them, you retain them.

119
00:06:07.105 --> 00:06:10.205
The process of, of obtaining this independent auditor

120
00:06:10.825 --> 00:06:12.205
is dictated by the state.

121
00:06:12.905 --> 00:06:15.005
Um, we go through a formal, uh,

122
00:06:15.005 --> 00:06:16.485
procurement process for that.

123
00:06:17.065 --> 00:06:18.365
So this year's no different.

124
00:06:18.465 --> 00:06:20.405
Uh, that auditor is Purpose Gray,

125
00:06:20.405 --> 00:06:21.565
and they're gonna come up here and

126
00:06:21.565 --> 00:06:22.605
they're gonna go through some details.

127
00:06:22.605 --> 00:06:25.205
So I'll keep my, my comments brief. I would Mr.

128
00:06:25.215 --> 00:06:26.645
Chair, like to thank the board.

129
00:06:27.025 --> 00:06:29.885
I'd like to thank, uh, the employees.

130
00:06:29.885 --> 00:06:31.405
It takes, uh, pardon upon,

131
00:06:31.505 --> 00:06:33.005
but it takes a village to get this done,

132
00:06:33.705 --> 00:06:35.325
and this year is no exception.

133
00:06:35.585 --> 00:06:37.525
And I, I think you'll be pleased with the outcome.

134
00:06:37.625 --> 00:06:39.805
So, with that said, I have Ms.

135
00:06:39.935 --> 00:06:42.005
Helen Painter from Purpose Grace.

136
00:06:42.025 --> 00:06:43.405
She is a partner at that firm,

137
00:06:43.825 --> 00:06:45.365
and she's gonna go through some details

138
00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:46.885
and tell you how you ended up the year.

139
00:06:46.985 --> 00:06:50.405
And then, uh, if if's acceptable at the end

140
00:06:50.625 --> 00:06:53.325
and you're in agreement, we would look for a motion

141
00:06:53.425 --> 00:06:54.725
to accept this report.

142
00:06:55.115 --> 00:06:57.045
Okay. I also noticed that, uh,

143
00:06:57.225 --> 00:07:00.205
we received an email on this this year asking us if we had

144
00:07:00.205 --> 00:07:03.765
any comments, uh, anything we would like to discuss directly

145
00:07:03.765 --> 00:07:06.805
with the auditor that we thought may be unusual items

146
00:07:06.945 --> 00:07:09.125
or things we had questions on it, we think.

147
00:07:09.345 --> 00:07:11.525
Yes, sir. So every, I don't remember getting that before.

148
00:07:11.625 --> 00:07:13.525
Is that something new? Yeah.

149
00:07:13.525 --> 00:07:17.485
Every year they send out, uh, a questionnaire to,

150
00:07:17.955 --> 00:07:19.285
they interview individuals,

151
00:07:19.285 --> 00:07:23.525
but they also send out a questionnaire, um, asking, uh, one

152
00:07:23.625 --> 00:07:28.565
or more board members if there's any unusual, uh, situations

153
00:07:28.565 --> 00:07:30.365
that you may want them to look into.

154
00:07:30.585 --> 00:07:33.485
So I'll let Ms. Helen, uh, dive into that.

155
00:07:33.705 --> 00:07:36.125
And with that said here, she's, thank you.

156
00:07:39.875 --> 00:07:41.765
Good morning. Welcome. Morning. Good morning. Good

157
00:07:41.765 --> 00:07:42.765
Morning. Board supervisors,

158
00:07:42.765 --> 00:07:44.285
uh, Helen Painter

159
00:07:44.285 --> 00:07:45.365
with Purvis Grand Company.

160
00:07:45.945 --> 00:07:48.725
Uh, believe we have a slide presentation. Yes.

161
00:07:48.725 --> 00:07:52.645
Thank you for your, your comment on the, um, email.

162
00:07:52.945 --> 00:07:55.085
Uh, so we do that randomly, uh,

163
00:07:55.145 --> 00:07:59.165
and it, it's required by audit standards to, um, you know,

164
00:07:59.305 --> 00:08:03.165
ask, uh, I believe two years ago it was a treasurer that we,

165
00:08:03.385 --> 00:08:04.445
uh, inquired with.

166
00:08:04.625 --> 00:08:07.605
So we're required to ask, um, both financial

167
00:08:07.605 --> 00:08:10.445
and non-financial and those charged with governance.

168
00:08:10.465 --> 00:08:13.285
So the board of supervisors is considered

169
00:08:13.285 --> 00:08:17.765
to be the governing board over, um, the audit process

170
00:08:18.255 --> 00:08:21.285
where we work with management, but we answer to the board.

171
00:08:21.865 --> 00:08:26.285
Uh, and so, um, our presentation today is just a summary.

172
00:08:26.545 --> 00:08:28.565
We won't get into too much detail.

173
00:08:28.565 --> 00:08:29.885
You have the audit report there.

174
00:08:30.385 --> 00:08:34.445
Uh, the, the best thing about your finance team is

175
00:08:34.445 --> 00:08:37.605
that you get monthly financial information.

176
00:08:37.815 --> 00:08:40.285
Right? And so nothing is a surprise to you.

177
00:08:40.705 --> 00:08:42.725
Uh, and then we are confirming

178
00:08:42.725 --> 00:08:45.085
that there was no surprises that came to our attention.

179
00:08:45.585 --> 00:08:48.525
So the objective of an audit is to give a,

180
00:08:48.865 --> 00:08:50.925
an opinion on the financial statements.

181
00:08:51.305 --> 00:08:55.565
And like Mr. Boyle said, um, this is required by the state

182
00:08:55.565 --> 00:08:58.525
of Florida, and the state of Florida has rigid requirements

183
00:08:58.545 --> 00:09:00.685
for governmental entities, uh,

184
00:09:00.705 --> 00:09:03.205
and what their report has to say, because

185
00:09:03.205 --> 00:09:06.085
after the acceptance of the audit report, it has,

186
00:09:06.115 --> 00:09:08.365
this report has to go to the auditor general's office

187
00:09:08.665 --> 00:09:10.005
and they do a desk review.

188
00:09:10.345 --> 00:09:11.645
And if there's anything missing

189
00:09:11.865 --> 00:09:14.085
or anything they're questioning, uh,

190
00:09:14.355 --> 00:09:15.965
they would contact us back.

191
00:09:16.625 --> 00:09:18.045
So part of the, what we have

192
00:09:18.045 --> 00:09:20.365
to look at is the financial statements given opinion.

193
00:09:20.985 --> 00:09:24.805
We have give, issued an unmodified opinion on the financial

194
00:09:24.805 --> 00:09:26.205
statements, a clean opinion.

195
00:09:26.905 --> 00:09:28.645
Uh, we have to, uh,

196
00:09:28.645 --> 00:09:31.005
have professional judgment and skepticism.

197
00:09:31.425 --> 00:09:33.885
We have to look at the risk and material misstatement

198
00:09:34.385 --> 00:09:37.565
and, uh, the financial health of the district.

199
00:09:38.465 --> 00:09:39.605
Um, we are happy to say

200
00:09:39.605 --> 00:09:42.565
that there were no internal control compliance matters

201
00:09:42.675 --> 00:09:43.765
that came to our attention.

202
00:09:44.425 --> 00:09:47.285
Uh, we also have to look at your investments.

203
00:09:47.285 --> 00:09:48.645
You have an investment policy,

204
00:09:48.825 --> 00:09:50.205
you have investment committees.

205
00:09:51.105 --> 00:09:53.925
We are required to ensure that you're following your policy,

206
00:09:54.635 --> 00:09:57.645
that it's in accordance with the Florida statutes.

207
00:09:58.105 --> 00:10:01.405
We also have to look to see that, um, your, uh,

208
00:10:01.405 --> 00:10:06.005
finance key financial individuals have continuing education

209
00:10:06.075 --> 00:10:07.165
with investments.

210
00:10:07.465 --> 00:10:09.085
And so they have to show proof of that too.

211
00:10:09.305 --> 00:10:12.045
So there's a lot of regulations that go with government,

212
00:10:12.065 --> 00:10:15.405
and it's all about, uh, making sure that, uh,

213
00:10:15.425 --> 00:10:19.885
the citizens' funds are properly, um, uh, you know,

214
00:10:19.885 --> 00:10:21.685
to oversight is being made.

215
00:10:22.945 --> 00:10:25.805
Uh, and because you are a special district of the state

216
00:10:25.805 --> 00:10:29.685
of Florida, uh, you also have to be even more transparent.

217
00:10:30.025 --> 00:10:32.285
And report includes information as to

218
00:10:32.635 --> 00:10:34.845
what were the special assessments that were charged,

219
00:10:35.345 --> 00:10:38.165
how much you have in bonds outstanding, uh,

220
00:10:38.185 --> 00:10:41.645
and if you have any construction projects with value

221
00:10:41.665 --> 00:10:43.205
of 65,000 or greater.

222
00:10:43.265 --> 00:10:44.925
And so that's all that information is,

223
00:10:45.385 --> 00:10:46.685
is in your audit report.

224
00:10:48.385 --> 00:10:51.085
Uh, again, there were no issues that came to our attention.

225
00:10:51.195 --> 00:10:53.045
Some key financial observations.

226
00:10:53.255 --> 00:10:55.605
There were no new capital additions this year.

227
00:10:56.305 --> 00:11:00.565
Uh, your investment earnings, uh, were not, uh, as, um,

228
00:11:01.345 --> 00:11:02.765
uh, robust as last year,

229
00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:04.925
but they did come in greater than budget.

230
00:11:05.665 --> 00:11:08.725
And you did, uh, adhere to your reserve policy

231
00:11:08.915 --> 00:11:12.405
that you're setting aside monies, uh, for any future

232
00:11:13.325 --> 00:11:15.525
emergencies or future major capital repairs.

233
00:11:15.945 --> 00:11:17.725
So you're following your policy there.

234
00:11:20.065 --> 00:11:22.485
And we believe that most importantly, your your budget

235
00:11:22.505 --> 00:11:26.565
to actual statement that is in this audit report, uh,

236
00:11:27.145 --> 00:11:30.085
you know that, um, the budget season starts up pretty soon

237
00:11:30.625 --> 00:11:32.485
and you all adopt a budget,

238
00:11:33.145 --> 00:11:35.765
and that's where your controls come in place where you say,

239
00:11:36.105 --> 00:11:39.485
you know, this is what we expect to get in, um, assessments,

240
00:11:39.945 --> 00:11:42.405
and this is what we need to spend

241
00:11:42.785 --> 00:11:45.325
and what it's gonna cost to run the, um,

242
00:11:45.475 --> 00:11:47.205
maintenance of the district.

243
00:11:47.785 --> 00:11:50.325
And this particular year, you'll see that you budgeted

244
00:11:50.385 --> 00:11:52.845
for a loss, uh, how,

245
00:11:52.925 --> 00:11:54.365
because of the fact that you wanted

246
00:11:54.365 --> 00:11:56.645
to spend down some excess reserves.

247
00:11:57.185 --> 00:11:58.845
And you'll see that here in the report.

248
00:11:59.345 --> 00:12:01.485
The first column is the original budget.

249
00:12:02.105 --> 00:12:04.365
The second column is the amended budget,

250
00:12:05.185 --> 00:12:07.125
and then what your year to date actual was.

251
00:12:07.905 --> 00:12:10.365
And most importantly, you came under budget

252
00:12:10.555 --> 00:12:13.525
with your expenses that you had budgeted to spend

253
00:12:14.275 --> 00:12:15.525
4.2 million

254
00:12:16.345 --> 00:12:18.925
and only needed to spend a little over 4 million.

255
00:12:19.065 --> 00:12:22.405
So you, uh, kept your expenditures under control

256
00:12:23.065 --> 00:12:24.485
and, uh, you're able to do that

257
00:12:24.485 --> 00:12:27.685
because of you have a budget department, you have, um,

258
00:12:28.115 --> 00:12:31.245
financial information that's given to you monthly so

259
00:12:31.245 --> 00:12:34.725
that you can, uh, see what's going on with your budget,

260
00:12:35.385 --> 00:12:36.645
uh, on a monthly basis.

261
00:12:38.105 --> 00:12:41.645
So those are some of the key highlights with the audit.

262
00:12:42.505 --> 00:12:45.685
Um, this is just a good scenario that shows that, you know,

263
00:12:45.685 --> 00:12:49.925
to, to have a good audit report and have it produced timely

264
00:12:50.305 --> 00:12:51.725
and sent to the state timely.

265
00:12:51.725 --> 00:12:55.485
We work with management, uh, and the governing board

266
00:12:55.945 --> 00:12:58.525
and, uh, all this working together, we are able to

267
00:12:59.245 --> 00:13:00.325
conclude the audit process.

268
00:13:01.825 --> 00:13:03.565
So I'd like to thank, uh, the board

269
00:13:04.065 --> 00:13:05.725
for having us present today.

270
00:13:08.215 --> 00:13:09.725
Thank you. Thank you.

271
00:13:09.745 --> 00:13:11.245
Uh, I would also like to mention thank you

272
00:13:11.245 --> 00:13:12.525
for recognizing our staff.

273
00:13:12.845 --> 00:13:15.485
I know that is a really, really difficult job

274
00:13:15.485 --> 00:13:16.725
that they have to do in this.

275
00:13:16.945 --> 00:13:18.205
Yes. And every year they do it

276
00:13:18.205 --> 00:13:19.565
beautifully, as does your mm-hmm.

277
00:13:19.825 --> 00:13:22.885
Uh, firm. So thank you for all what you do also. Thank

278
00:13:22.885 --> 00:13:23.485
You. Appreciate that.

279
00:13:23.785 --> 00:13:25.285
Any questions from our supervisors

280
00:13:25.285 --> 00:13:26.445
regarding the audit report?

281
00:13:26.445 --> 00:13:27.405
And I know we've been through it

282
00:13:27.405 --> 00:13:28.725
in numerous amount of times.

283
00:13:29.665 --> 00:13:31.205
Walter, one, one question.

284
00:13:31.305 --> 00:13:35.045
Um, do you make recommendations

285
00:13:35.705 --> 00:13:40.485
on the percent of our reserve, be it up or down,

286
00:13:40.785 --> 00:13:43.885
or is that something that's done internally by, uh,

287
00:13:44.105 --> 00:13:45.365
our accounting department?

288
00:13:45.945 --> 00:13:49.485
I'm just concerned sometimes if we have too much reserve,

289
00:13:49.785 --> 00:13:53.245
if we should spend down some of the reserve be a little more

290
00:13:53.995 --> 00:13:56.325
liberal on the amount of reserve mm-hmm.

291
00:13:56.405 --> 00:13:58.725
That we carry rather than having an excess.

292
00:14:00.715 --> 00:14:04.245
Correct. So you management has put together a policy

293
00:14:05.145 --> 00:14:06.845
and the board has approved that policy,

294
00:14:07.625 --> 00:14:10.805
and we'd look to see if you are adhering to

295
00:14:10.805 --> 00:14:12.285
that policy and, and you did.

296
00:14:12.785 --> 00:14:15.005
Uh, and I believe that you all budgeted

297
00:14:15.425 --> 00:14:16.565
to spend down some of that.

298
00:14:16.625 --> 00:14:20.805
So you'll see there that there was about $800,000

299
00:14:20.835 --> 00:14:21.885
that was spent down.

300
00:14:22.425 --> 00:14:24.925
Uh, and so, you know, just look at it on an annual basis

301
00:14:25.105 --> 00:14:27.765
and see if spending it down was the right move.

302
00:14:28.265 --> 00:14:29.725
So that's not in your purview.

303
00:14:29.745 --> 00:14:31.165
You don't make recommendations.

304
00:14:31.665 --> 00:14:34.965
We think you're carrying too high of a reserve percentage,

305
00:14:36.105 --> 00:14:37.105
Uh, correct. That's, that's

306
00:14:37.105 --> 00:14:39.365
more of a management decision. Yes.

307
00:14:39.875 --> 00:14:42.645
Yeah. Over the years, we have obviously strived

308
00:14:42.645 --> 00:14:46.125
to keep our special assessments down for our residents.

309
00:14:46.125 --> 00:14:49.405
Mm-hmm. So we have not raised them in, I think what, Gary,

310
00:14:49.435 --> 00:14:50.685
16 years, something like that.

311
00:14:50.955 --> 00:14:52.365
It's been a long time that we've lowered

312
00:14:52.365 --> 00:14:53.605
them numerous times.

313
00:14:53.625 --> 00:14:56.365
Mm-hmm. Uh, one of the concerns was were we

314
00:14:57.155 --> 00:14:58.885
budgeting enough in our reserves

315
00:14:58.985 --> 00:15:00.365
to be able to continue that?

316
00:15:00.745 --> 00:15:02.565
And I think we came to the determination

317
00:15:02.565 --> 00:15:04.445
and we may not be able to continue doing

318
00:15:04.445 --> 00:15:05.565
that based on the reserves.

319
00:15:05.905 --> 00:15:07.165
So we increased the amount.

320
00:15:07.485 --> 00:15:09.805
I believe Jerry made that, uh, motion.

321
00:15:10.225 --> 00:15:14.765
So we put more away this jury, uh, that then would suffice.

322
00:15:14.825 --> 00:15:17.205
At this point, you think that, that our decision

323
00:15:17.305 --> 00:15:20.845
to increase the reserves was sufficient from what you see

324
00:15:21.185 --> 00:15:22.965
For the, for the 26th fiscal year.

325
00:15:22.965 --> 00:15:24.965
Mm-hmm. Yes. Well, of course we have not looked at that yet.

326
00:15:24.965 --> 00:15:27.645
We've looked at your financial information through November.

327
00:15:27.905 --> 00:15:30.125
Mm-hmm. Uh, because we're required to do

328
00:15:30.125 --> 00:15:31.485
what we call a subsequent event

329
00:15:31.485 --> 00:15:33.805
to make sure nothing material has happened.

330
00:15:33.825 --> 00:15:35.485
So we'll have to wait till the end of the year

331
00:15:35.505 --> 00:15:37.085
to see the results of operation.

332
00:15:37.265 --> 00:15:38.685
Mm-hmm. Uh, but you'll be able

333
00:15:38.685 --> 00:15:40.925
to see those monthly financial reports.

334
00:15:41.485 --> 00:15:42.565
I believe it's in your, your

335
00:15:42.655 --> 00:15:43.655
Board package. Well, that was a

336
00:15:43.655 --> 00:15:44.765
pretty good idea in advance then,

337
00:15:44.765 --> 00:15:47.925
whether we put a sufficient amount away, probably halfway

338
00:15:47.925 --> 00:15:49.085
through the year, I would think.

339
00:15:49.425 --> 00:15:52.005
Yes. And what's most important also is your,

340
00:15:52.025 --> 00:15:55.445
is your five year capital future capital outlay budget.

341
00:15:55.785 --> 00:15:58.645
That's where the large expenditures will come in for,

342
00:15:58.705 --> 00:16:00.045
you know, repairs and maintenance mill

343
00:16:00.045 --> 00:16:03.565
and overlay to the roads repair fencing, that's

344
00:16:03.565 --> 00:16:04.925
where your big capital items are.

345
00:16:05.065 --> 00:16:06.885
And you have that money set aside

346
00:16:07.305 --> 00:16:09.085
and committed at the current time,

347
00:16:09.145 --> 00:16:11.405
and you didn't spend anything this year in that.

348
00:16:11.405 --> 00:16:12.405
Mm-hmm. Uh,

349
00:16:12.545 --> 00:16:15.845
and then, so we, we ensure that when you do spend, uh,

350
00:16:15.865 --> 00:16:18.725
for committed funds, that you use just that pot of money, so

351
00:16:18.725 --> 00:16:22.285
to speak, uh, and that you're not using general operations.

352
00:16:22.995 --> 00:16:25.685
Okay. And Mr. Chairman, I have question. Yes, sir.

353
00:16:25.905 --> 00:16:29.245
Is either generally accepted principles,

354
00:16:29.415 --> 00:16:30.565
accounting principles,

355
00:16:30.705 --> 00:16:33.165
or does, does the state make recommendations

356
00:16:33.165 --> 00:16:36.805
or have guidelines regarding the amount of reserve you have,

357
00:16:37.185 --> 00:16:38.245
say, as a percentage of,

358
00:16:38.245 --> 00:16:41.205
or compared to the value of your infrastructure?

359
00:16:41.465 --> 00:16:42.485
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

360
00:16:42.565 --> 00:16:46.525
Um, so that, you know, we have a certain responsibility

361
00:16:46.545 --> 00:16:48.685
for the, for the amount of infrastructure

362
00:16:48.685 --> 00:16:52.365
that we have within this district, and it has a value to it.

363
00:16:52.585 --> 00:16:56.485
Yes. And then, uh, and the cost to replace that has a value,

364
00:16:57.025 --> 00:16:59.485
and it, it, obviously it goes up from year to year

365
00:16:59.485 --> 00:17:01.405
because of inflation and other mm-hmm.

366
00:17:01.625 --> 00:17:03.285
Uh, circumstances.

367
00:17:03.985 --> 00:17:06.685
But is there some sort of a guideline that we need to have,

368
00:17:06.865 --> 00:17:09.405
or is it in place already that says,

369
00:17:09.775 --> 00:17:14.725
based upon the value you should have a oh, 27%

370
00:17:14.825 --> 00:17:19.365
or 50%, whatever that number may be, that,

371
00:17:19.395 --> 00:17:23.125
that we can use to guide us in our budgetary process?

372
00:17:24.065 --> 00:17:26.125
Uh, there's no official guidance on that.

373
00:17:26.585 --> 00:17:30.245
Uh, the GFOA Government Finance Officers Association does

374
00:17:30.275 --> 00:17:33.845
have a recommendation for your district general expenditures

375
00:17:34.225 --> 00:17:38.765
to have in fund balance 25% of your annual budget.

376
00:17:39.225 --> 00:17:43.245
But as far as future capital outlay costs, you can see how

377
00:17:43.275 --> 00:17:45.325
that is such a moving target.

378
00:17:45.705 --> 00:17:49.165
And it would be very expensive to have, you know,

379
00:17:49.165 --> 00:17:51.045
look at the cost of your road replacement.

380
00:17:51.065 --> 00:17:52.805
So there's no official guidance.

381
00:17:52.915 --> 00:17:55.525
That is something that, you know, you as a board

382
00:17:55.525 --> 00:17:58.685
and with your management team would have to decide as to

383
00:17:58.685 --> 00:18:01.485
what you could afford, uh, for the future.

384
00:18:02.025 --> 00:18:03.245
So that's your capital outlay.

385
00:18:03.245 --> 00:18:06.685
But no, there's no written, uh, recommendation except

386
00:18:06.905 --> 00:18:08.925
for general operating expenses.

387
00:18:09.815 --> 00:18:10.815
Thank you. Thank you.

388
00:18:13.385 --> 00:18:15.725
Any other questions? No, thank you.

389
00:18:16.075 --> 00:18:18.245
Obviously, with the extent of our budget, we need

390
00:18:18.245 --> 00:18:19.605
to have a motion to accept it.

391
00:18:19.865 --> 00:18:21.765
So at this point, if there are no further questions,

392
00:18:22.525 --> 00:18:25.885
anything from the audience on this, okay.

393
00:18:26.635 --> 00:18:29.045
Then I would, uh, entertain a motion to accept.

394
00:18:29.045 --> 00:18:31.085
I'll make, I'll make a motion to accept the, uh,

395
00:18:31.085 --> 00:18:32.525
audit report as presented.

396
00:18:32.875 --> 00:18:35.805
Okay. Second. Okay. Any other further questions?

397
00:18:36.385 --> 00:18:37.805
It has been moved and seconded

398
00:18:37.805 --> 00:18:39.165
to accept the budget as stated.

399
00:18:39.625 --> 00:18:42.565
All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye.

400
00:18:42.625 --> 00:18:45.005
Aye. Okay. It is unanimous.

401
00:18:45.215 --> 00:18:48.765
Thank you very much, and very nice job on behalf

402
00:18:48.765 --> 00:18:49.885
of our finance department.

403
00:18:49.885 --> 00:18:54.525
Thank you. Okay.

404
00:18:54.595 --> 00:18:56.765
Next item on the agenda, public hearings.

405
00:18:57.185 --> 00:18:59.125
We have two public hearings listed on here,

406
00:18:59.345 --> 00:19:01.725
and I think we'll be getting an update from

407
00:19:01.745 --> 00:19:03.405
Ms. Shannon. Good morning.

408
00:19:03.715 --> 00:19:05.285
Good morning. How are you? Good.

409
00:19:05.585 --> 00:19:07.405
Um, yes, there will be two public

410
00:19:07.405 --> 00:19:08.565
hearings this morning. Okay.

411
00:19:08.835 --> 00:19:11.365
Okay. Yes, sir.

412
00:19:11.365 --> 00:19:12.485
Before we get started, a quick

413
00:19:12.685 --> 00:19:13.805
overview of the public hearing process.

414
00:19:14.145 --> 00:19:15.845
Yep. In public hearings,

415
00:19:15.845 --> 00:19:17.285
the board access both the judge and jury.

416
00:19:17.305 --> 00:19:19.085
In that capacity, the board will consider evidence,

417
00:19:19.085 --> 00:19:21.325
make findings of fact, and draw conclusions of law.

418
00:19:21.825 --> 00:19:24.045
During the hearing, the board may only receive evidence from

419
00:19:24.045 --> 00:19:25.325
the property owner, district staff,

420
00:19:25.325 --> 00:19:26.525
and those that will be substantially

421
00:19:26.525 --> 00:19:27.525
and directly affected by the

422
00:19:27.525 --> 00:19:28.605
outcome of the board's decision.

423
00:19:29.865 --> 00:19:31.965
At the conclusion, the public hearing, the board will need

424
00:19:31.965 --> 00:19:34.365
to determine whether staff presented competent,

425
00:19:34.365 --> 00:19:35.765
substantial evidence to support a

426
00:19:35.765 --> 00:19:36.885
finding of the alleged violation.

427
00:19:36.905 --> 00:19:39.885
If so, the board must enter an Order of enforcement.

428
00:19:40.585 --> 00:19:45.445
Our first case is case number D five dash zero six dash 26.

429
00:19:45.945 --> 00:19:47.325
If there's anyone here to testify,

430
00:19:47.325 --> 00:19:48.605
if you please stand and raise your right hand.

431
00:19:50.105 --> 00:19:52.325
Do you solemnly swear affirm that the testimony

432
00:19:52.465 --> 00:19:53.485
and evidence you're about

433
00:19:53.485 --> 00:19:54.765
to give in the hearing today will be the

434
00:19:55.055 --> 00:19:56.405
truth and nothing but the truth?

435
00:19:56.625 --> 00:19:58.205
Yes, I do. Okay.

436
00:19:59.525 --> 00:20:01.765
This point, we'll temporarily suspend our regular meeting

437
00:20:01.905 --> 00:20:04.205
to go into Judic judicial hearing on these

438
00:20:05.595 --> 00:20:08.125
Good Morning Board, Shannon Boyd Community Standards.

439
00:20:08.215 --> 00:20:09.485
Today I have before you,

440
00:20:09.755 --> 00:20:13.965
case number D five dash zero six dash 26 Village Community

441
00:20:13.965 --> 00:20:17.645
Development District number five, versus to the estate

442
00:20:17.645 --> 00:20:21.925
of Gerald j Stefanski, 2 1 8 6 Broxton Place,

443
00:20:22.315 --> 00:20:24.445
unit 83, lot 2 4 1.

444
00:20:24.795 --> 00:20:26.325
Violation of the district's rule

445
00:20:26.325 --> 00:20:27.725
to bring about deep compliance

446
00:20:28.105 --> 00:20:31.005
and specifically the rule that states no vehicles

447
00:20:31.005 --> 00:20:34.125
and capable of operations shall be stored on any home site.

448
00:20:34.505 --> 00:20:36.165
Nor shall any junk vehicles

449
00:20:36.165 --> 00:20:39.405
or equipment be kept on any home site owners shall keep

450
00:20:39.405 --> 00:20:42.325
their home sites neat and clean, the grass cut, irrigated

451
00:20:42.325 --> 00:20:43.325
and edged at all times.

452
00:20:43.825 --> 00:20:46.205
If an owner does not adhere to this regulation,

453
00:20:46.315 --> 00:20:48.685
then the work may be performed on behalf of the owner

454
00:20:48.905 --> 00:20:50.885
and the cost shall be charged to the owner.

455
00:20:51.345 --> 00:20:53.925
As stated in the Village Community Development District

456
00:20:53.925 --> 00:20:56.605
number five, external deed restriction standards.

457
00:20:57.135 --> 00:20:59.805
Inoperable vehicles are vehicles that are incapable

458
00:20:59.805 --> 00:21:03.005
of operation, are not licensed, and or registered

459
00:21:03.005 --> 00:21:04.765
or have flat or missing tires.

460
00:21:05.875 --> 00:21:08.765
Also, as stated in the external deed restriction standards,

461
00:21:08.835 --> 00:21:12.165
maintenance means the exercising reasonable care

462
00:21:12.225 --> 00:21:15.165
to keep buildings, landscaping, lighting lawns,

463
00:21:15.165 --> 00:21:16.765
and other related improvements in

464
00:21:16.765 --> 00:21:18.085
fixtures in good condition.

465
00:21:18.705 --> 00:21:22.325
On November 25th, 2025, a complaint was received

466
00:21:22.675 --> 00:21:24.205
regarding a broken door,

467
00:21:24.385 --> 00:21:27.725
broken windows in an inoperable vehicle in the driveway.

468
00:21:28.135 --> 00:21:31.245
Staff verified these violations and also observed weaves

469
00:21:31.245 --> 00:21:34.125
and a dirt weaves in a dirty driveway and walkway.

470
00:21:34.525 --> 00:21:37.525
A deed restriction reminder was written on November 26th,

471
00:21:37.905 --> 00:21:39.685
and the initial and second letters were

472
00:21:39.685 --> 00:21:40.925
sent out on December 9th.

473
00:21:41.105 --> 00:21:42.325
In December 22nd.

474
00:21:42.705 --> 00:21:44.605
And after following the procedures

475
00:21:44.605 --> 00:21:46.725
of external deed restriction, a notice

476
00:21:46.785 --> 00:21:48.525
of public hearing was sent by regular

477
00:21:48.785 --> 00:21:51.165
and certified mail On January 12th,

478
00:21:51.825 --> 00:21:53.285
the homeowner is deceased.

479
00:21:53.425 --> 00:21:55.685
The homeowner's daughter was residing in the home,

480
00:21:55.905 --> 00:21:57.405
but is currently incarcerated.

481
00:21:57.855 --> 00:22:01.085
Staff have contacted Freedom Mortgage via telephone

482
00:22:01.185 --> 00:22:03.325
to inform them of the violations.

483
00:22:03.775 --> 00:22:06.045
Staff also forwarded copies of all the letters

484
00:22:06.185 --> 00:22:09.005
and photographs that were taken to Freedom Mortgage.

485
00:22:09.425 --> 00:22:12.365
During an inspection of the property on February 8th,

486
00:22:12.665 --> 00:22:15.165
it was determined that the property does remain

487
00:22:15.185 --> 00:22:16.245
out of compliance.

488
00:22:16.825 --> 00:22:20.965
Now currently due to a phase two water shortage restriction,

489
00:22:21.215 --> 00:22:24.805
which became effective February 8th through July 1st,

490
00:22:25.375 --> 00:22:28.005
staff had temporarily suspending enforcement

491
00:22:28.225 --> 00:22:30.085
of pressure washing requirements

492
00:22:30.375 --> 00:22:32.325
until the drought order has been lifted.

493
00:22:32.625 --> 00:22:35.405
So this order of enforcement will not pertain

494
00:22:35.405 --> 00:22:37.365
to the dirty driveway and walkway.

495
00:22:37.785 --> 00:22:39.565
So staff's recommendation would be

496
00:22:39.565 --> 00:22:41.045
to find the owner in violation

497
00:22:41.265 --> 00:22:43.005
of the District deed compliance rule.

498
00:22:43.025 --> 00:22:44.965
As cited by the deed compliance staff,

499
00:22:45.345 --> 00:22:46.485
the owner has seven days

500
00:22:46.545 --> 00:22:49.245
to remove the weeds from the property to bring that portion

501
00:22:49.305 --> 00:22:50.805
of the property into compliance.

502
00:22:51.225 --> 00:22:52.525
If the weeds have been removed

503
00:22:52.525 --> 00:22:54.765
and that portion of the property has been brought into

504
00:22:54.765 --> 00:22:58.085
compliance within seven days of the order of enforcement,

505
00:22:58.275 --> 00:23:01.245
that portion of case number D five dash zero six dash

506
00:23:01.245 --> 00:23:02.765
26 shall be closed.

507
00:23:03.185 --> 00:23:05.445
If the weeds have not been removed within seven days

508
00:23:05.445 --> 00:23:08.205
of the Order of enforcement, authorize the district

509
00:23:08.205 --> 00:23:12.125
to maintain the property, I impose a minimum of a $250 fine.

510
00:23:12.345 --> 00:23:15.285
Or the actual cost of maintenance, whichever is more

511
00:23:15.625 --> 00:23:17.645
to be paid within 10 days of the invoice.

512
00:23:18.155 --> 00:23:19.245
Authorize a district

513
00:23:19.245 --> 00:23:21.485
to maintain the property twice a month in the summer

514
00:23:21.825 --> 00:23:23.925
and once a month in the winter as needed,

515
00:23:24.145 --> 00:23:27.205
and impose a $250 fine each time the

516
00:23:27.405 --> 00:23:28.645
district maintains the property.

517
00:23:29.025 --> 00:23:31.325
If the owner prohibits a district from maintaining the

518
00:23:31.565 --> 00:23:34.085
property, then the owner shall be fined an initial amount

519
00:23:34.205 --> 00:23:35.485
of $150

520
00:23:35.905 --> 00:23:37.885
and an additional $50 per day

521
00:23:37.885 --> 00:23:39.805
until the property is brought into compliance.

522
00:23:40.505 --> 00:23:43.405
The owner has five days to remove the inoperable vehicle

523
00:23:43.625 --> 00:23:46.725
or place a valid registration sticker on the vehicle

524
00:23:46.945 --> 00:23:49.325
to bring that portion of the property into compliance.

525
00:23:49.905 --> 00:23:52.205
If the inoperable vehicle has been removed,

526
00:23:52.225 --> 00:23:55.405
or a valid registration sticker has been placed on the

527
00:23:55.405 --> 00:23:56.845
vehicle to bring that portion

528
00:23:56.945 --> 00:23:59.445
of the property into compliance within five days

530
00:24:01.985 --> 00:24:06.125
of case number D five dash zero six dash 26 shall be closed.

531
00:24:06.465 --> 00:24:09.365
If the inoperable vehicle has not been removed,

532
00:24:09.585 --> 00:24:12.605
or a valid registration sticker has not been placed on the

533
00:24:12.605 --> 00:24:15.645

and impose a $50 daily fine

00:24:22.455 --> 00:24:24.365
until the property is brought into compliance.

537
00:24:25.145 --> 00:24:27.205
The owner has 30 days to repair

538
00:24:27.265 --> 00:24:30.565
or replace the broken windows, the torn lanai screen,

539
00:24:30.865 --> 00:24:34.565
the broken screen door, and the damaged siding on the lanai.

540
00:24:34.905 --> 00:24:37.525

541
00:24:37.525 --> 00:24:40.205

542

26 shall be closed.

545

546
00:24:52.025 --> 00:24:54.565
and damaged siding on the lanai have not been repaired

547

or replaced within 30 days of the Order of enforcement,

548
00:24:57.505 --> 00:25:01.805
impose $150 fine to be paid within 10 days of the invoice

549
00:25:02.105 --> 00:25:04.645
and impose a $50 daily fine until that portion

550
00:25:04.665 --> 00:25:07.045
of the property has been brought into compliance.

551
00:25:07.665 --> 00:25:09.005
If the weeds have been removed,

552
00:25:09.145 --> 00:25:11.245
the inoperable vehicle has been removed,

553
00:25:11.545 --> 00:25:13.205
or a valid registration sticker

554
00:25:13.205 --> 00:25:14.325
has been placed on the vehicle.

555
00:25:14.865 --> 00:25:17.565
And if the broken windows torn LAN ice screen,

556
00:25:17.825 --> 00:25:18.965
broken screen door,

557
00:25:18.985 --> 00:25:22.565
and the damaged siding on Lanai have all been repaired

558
00:25:22.565 --> 00:25:26.685
or replaced within the time timeframe specified herein,

559
00:25:26.875 --> 00:25:30.885
case number D five dash zero six dash 26 shall be closed.

560
00:25:31.265 --> 00:25:33.685
If the property is not brought into compliance as required,

561
00:25:33.685 --> 00:25:36.045
hearing staff shall record this Order

562
00:25:36.045 --> 00:25:38.605
of enforcement Kali in the public records

563
00:25:38.665 --> 00:25:39.885
of Sumter County, Florida.

564
00:25:40.465 --> 00:25:42.485
It is a property owner's responsibility

565
00:25:42.545 --> 00:25:44.765
to contact the Community Standards Department

566
00:25:44.985 --> 00:25:48.245
to request a deed compliance officer revisit the property

567
00:25:48.265 --> 00:25:49.485
to confirm compliance.

568
00:25:49.865 --> 00:25:52.925
If the fines reach $1,500, the case shall be turned over

569
00:25:52.925 --> 00:25:56.045
to district counsel to seek all available remedies,

570
00:25:56.095 --> 00:25:58.045
which may include initiating a lawsuit

571
00:25:58.305 --> 00:26:00.605
or seeking an injunction against the property owner.

572
00:26:01.105 --> 00:26:02.845
The property owner is responsible

573
00:26:02.845 --> 00:26:06.045
for reimbursing the district for all attorney's fees, costs,

574
00:26:06.065 --> 00:26:08.245
and expenses associated with

575
00:26:08.305 --> 00:26:11.045
or related to this Order of Enforcement claim of lien.

576
00:26:11.345 --> 00:26:13.365
If the property's brought into compliance

577
00:26:13.425 --> 00:26:16.205
and all fines are paid, the Chairman authorizes staff

578
00:26:16.205 --> 00:26:18.685
to execute and record a satisfaction

579
00:26:18.705 --> 00:26:20.685
and release of claim of Lien Chairman

580
00:26:20.745 --> 00:26:22.365
to execute the order of enforcement.

581
00:26:22.365 --> 00:26:24.365
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

582
00:26:25.605 --> 00:26:27.005
I was gonna ask you if you could repeat that,

583
00:26:27.105 --> 00:26:28.885
but I I don't think you want do that.

584
00:26:29.065 --> 00:26:31.125
No, I wouldn't do that yet.

585
00:26:31.585 --> 00:26:34.045
Uh, my understanding is this is an estate, correct?

586
00:26:35.035 --> 00:26:36.885
What was that? Yes, it is an estate. Estate, yes,

587
00:26:37.195 --> 00:26:38.195
He's deceased. Uh, and

588
00:26:38.195 --> 00:26:41.485
who is now the responsible owner of the property?

589
00:26:41.745 --> 00:26:42.845
Do you know? I believe his daughter,

590
00:26:43.665 --> 00:26:44.665
The daughter.

591
00:26:44.745 --> 00:26:46.485
We had direct communication with the daughter.

592
00:26:47.135 --> 00:26:48.325
She's currently incarcerated.

593
00:26:49.575 --> 00:26:50.605
We're not gonna get a lot of

594
00:26:50.845 --> 00:26:52.045
communication with the daughter then.

595
00:26:52.315 --> 00:26:55.565
Okay. Um, this looks like another one of those

596
00:26:55.565 --> 00:26:57.845
that could drag out for an extremely long time.

597
00:26:58.465 --> 00:27:01.645
The property would continue to deteriorate, I would think,

598
00:27:02.105 --> 00:27:04.525
and I'm sure the neighbors would be up in arms over this.

599
00:27:05.185 --> 00:27:08.165
Um, we run through a lot of these.

600
00:27:08.645 --> 00:27:09.645
I guess my question is,

601
00:27:09.645 --> 00:27:11.205
where does this finally come to an end?

602
00:27:11.205 --> 00:27:12.205
Could this be another one

603
00:27:12.205 --> 00:27:14.965
of these three year drag outs, uh, on the estate?

604
00:27:14.965 --> 00:27:16.845
Like we're dealing with now on another property?

605
00:27:17.105 --> 00:27:19.725
And I guess I'd turn that over to counsel at this point.

606
00:27:20.105 --> 00:27:21.765
So that was gonna be my question.

607
00:27:21.765 --> 00:27:24.205
Those notices on the door are those foreclosure notices.

608
00:27:25.025 --> 00:27:26.605
Um, I, I am not sure

609
00:27:26.955 --> 00:27:29.285
What, so there are a couple of pleadings that are posted

610
00:27:29.545 --> 00:27:32.405
to that door that potentially could be foreclosure notices.

611
00:27:32.525 --> 00:27:33.525
I don't know. I can't tell.

612
00:27:33.525 --> 00:27:35.205
There's a photo in there that's closer

613
00:27:36.305 --> 00:27:37.605
but even still can't read it.

614
00:27:37.695 --> 00:27:38.845
Right. You still can't read it.

615
00:27:38.865 --> 00:27:40.965
So if there's a foreclosure, then obviously we need

616
00:27:40.965 --> 00:27:44.125
to get our lien recorded and it might not, um, be one

617
00:27:44.125 --> 00:27:45.365
of those three year drag outs.

618
00:27:45.525 --> 00:27:46.525
'cause it sounds like there's already

619
00:27:46.525 --> 00:27:47.525
something going on in court.

620
00:27:47.685 --> 00:27:50.405
I just don't know what that is at this point in time.

621
00:27:50.585 --> 00:27:53.085
Um, I do, yes. I believe they're eviction notices,

622
00:27:53.545 --> 00:27:57.125
The eviction, so That's a

623
00:27:57.125 --> 00:27:58.125
Twist. She doesn't own it.

624
00:27:58.125 --> 00:27:58.465

625
00:27:59.385 --> 00:28:00.445
It was a renter.

626
00:28:00.825 --> 00:28:01.925
Oh, there was a renter there. The other,

627
00:28:02.155 --> 00:28:03.365
okay, so that doesn't help us.

628
00:28:03.455 --> 00:28:05.365
There was a renter in there that won't help us.

629
00:28:05.705 --> 00:28:07.605
And we don't have squatters anywhere in

630
00:28:07.605 --> 00:28:08.685
there that we know of, correct?

631
00:28:08.785 --> 00:28:11.965
Not that we know of. No Counsel.

632
00:28:12.285 --> 00:28:15.285
I think at this point, um, we have

633
00:28:15.285 --> 00:28:16.645
to proceed as we normally would.

634
00:28:16.845 --> 00:28:18.605
I mean, not really knowing what the status

635
00:28:18.625 --> 00:28:20.125
of the property is or where it's at,

636
00:28:20.125 --> 00:28:22.685
if there's a probate, anything going on with it.

637
00:28:22.685 --> 00:28:26.165
Our job here is gonna be to enter the order of enforcement

638
00:28:26.165 --> 00:28:27.805
and record our claim of lien so that

639
00:28:29.165 --> 00:28:31.325
whatever happens in the future, we, we preserve our right

640
00:28:31.325 --> 00:28:32.765
and our standing to get some money if

641
00:28:32.765 --> 00:28:33.885
there's any available to us.

642
00:28:34.195 --> 00:28:36.485
Yeah. We need to get an update Exactly what's going

643
00:28:36.485 --> 00:28:37.565
on with that property though.

644
00:28:37.995 --> 00:28:39.485
Yeah, and I mean, you know,

645
00:28:39.485 --> 00:28:42.445
we could do some record search, look at court dockets

646
00:28:42.445 --> 00:28:43.765
to see if we could find anything.

647
00:28:44.065 --> 00:28:46.885
Um, I can do that or, you know, community standards can try

648
00:28:46.885 --> 00:28:49.245
and do that first so that I, I'm not involved.

649
00:28:49.305 --> 00:28:50.645
And then if they need my help, certainly

650
00:28:50.745 --> 00:28:52.205
I'm willing to step in.

651
00:28:52.205 --> 00:28:53.885
But I think Shannon and I have talked before

652
00:28:53.885 --> 00:28:55.805
and she's aware of how to pull court records,

653
00:28:55.945 --> 00:28:57.005
so she might be able to do that.

654
00:28:57.675 --> 00:29:00.525
Okay. So you're looking for a motion to go forward

655
00:29:00.595 --> 00:29:02.885
with order of enforcement on this, correct? Yes,

656
00:29:02.885 --> 00:29:03.885
Sir. Okay. We'll

657
00:29:03.885 --> 00:29:05.325
close our public hearing first.

658
00:29:05.385 --> 00:29:06.725
Oh, you have questions? Just one question.

659
00:29:06.725 --> 00:29:09.245
Yes, Shannon, in a case, like if we were,

660
00:29:09.625 --> 00:29:12.485
we were looking at, in a state, is there any way

661
00:29:12.585 --> 00:29:13.765
to speed up the process?

662
00:29:13.935 --> 00:29:16.445
We're looking at 30 days, 60 days, 90 days,

663
00:29:16.545 --> 00:29:20.325
and eventually we end up with an open forum like this

664
00:29:20.785 --> 00:29:24.165
and a state's death of the, uh, property owner.

665
00:29:24.905 --> 00:29:28.565
Can we waive or suspend this 30, 60, 90 days?

666
00:29:28.585 --> 00:29:32.605
That's a lot of time when we know in the end we're not going

667
00:29:32.605 --> 00:29:33.965
to end up getting any money.

668
00:29:34.455 --> 00:29:37.125
We'll end up, end up filing a lien

669
00:29:37.125 --> 00:29:39.085
with the lien holder, the mortgage company.

670
00:29:39.945 --> 00:29:42.125
Am I just dreaming or what? Mortgage,

671
00:29:42.475 --> 00:29:44.685
Yeah, I mean these are our standard, um,

672
00:29:46.605 --> 00:29:47.805
standard timelines that we, yeah.

673
00:29:48.145 --> 00:29:50.165
So unfortunately because it's an a estate,

674
00:29:50.395 --> 00:29:52.085
it's no different than if it wasn't.

675
00:29:52.545 --> 00:29:54.565
And if we differ from it, we could set a precedent,

676
00:29:54.565 --> 00:29:56.005
it could be used later against us. Correct?

677
00:29:56.475 --> 00:29:59.925
Well, I mean, I think the fact that it's empty,

678
00:30:00.715 --> 00:30:04.285
that now the estate

679
00:30:04.285 --> 00:30:05.965
representative is incarcerated,

680
00:30:06.385 --> 00:30:07.405
Do we know for how long?

681
00:30:07.985 --> 00:30:10.285
No, I mean, I think you have some circumstances here to

682
00:30:10.285 --> 00:30:12.245
where if you wanted to reduce the time period, you could,

683
00:30:12.425 --> 00:30:14.285
um, because you don't have an active person there.

684
00:30:14.745 --> 00:30:18.165
Um, we don't know who's, uh, maintaining the property.

685
00:30:19.045 --> 00:30:21.165
I think that's different than when you have a property owner

686
00:30:21.185 --> 00:30:23.485
who lives there every day who gets this order of enforcement

687
00:30:23.485 --> 00:30:25.245
and decide they want to ignore it.

688
00:30:25.475 --> 00:30:28.045
Yeah. Um, or maybe they can't do it

689
00:30:28.045 --> 00:30:29.485
for one reason or the other right away.

690
00:30:29.485 --> 00:30:31.085
They're not here. There's nobody here.

691
00:30:31.185 --> 00:30:32.645
So, I mean, I think if you wanted

692
00:30:32.645 --> 00:30:33.845
to shorten the time period you could,

693
00:30:33.865 --> 00:30:34.925
and I wouldn't have a problem with that.

694
00:30:35.445 --> 00:30:37.245
I think in this case it would make sense.

695
00:30:37.265 --> 00:30:39.085
And one of the concerns that I would have,

696
00:30:39.225 --> 00:30:41.005
the daughter is incarcerated now.

697
00:30:41.545 --> 00:30:42.805
We don't know for how long,

698
00:30:43.235 --> 00:30:44.925
when she's no longer incarcerated.

699
00:30:45.025 --> 00:30:49.085
If she decides to return home to the roost and be a squatter

700
00:30:49.185 --> 00:30:51.645
or an estate recipient of the estate,

701
00:30:51.795 --> 00:30:53.925
then we're gonna have some real problems on her hands.

702
00:30:54.625 --> 00:30:58.085
Um, so I think Walter's recommendation is a good one in

703
00:30:58.085 --> 00:30:59.125
this particular case.

704
00:30:59.475 --> 00:31:01.125
Make the exception and shorten those

705
00:31:02.105 --> 00:31:05.525
As to the, uh, loose sighting, the 30 days, you can drop

706
00:31:05.525 --> 00:31:07.085
that down to 10 or 15.

707
00:31:07.945 --> 00:31:10.925
Um, it looks like the other days are seven and,

708
00:31:10.985 --> 00:31:13.045
and 10 days appear to be fine, which

709
00:31:13.205 --> 00:31:14.205
Are reasonable.

710
00:31:15.305 --> 00:31:17.645
So if we want to proceed, we just need

711
00:31:17.645 --> 00:31:19.205
to close the public hearing and have a motion

712
00:31:19.205 --> 00:31:21.045
to accept staff's recommendation with a change

713
00:31:21.045 --> 00:31:24.485
to bullet number two from 30 days to 10

714
00:31:24.505 --> 00:31:26.245
or 15, whatever it is that you decide.

715
00:31:26.755 --> 00:31:29.365
Okay. No further questions while we're in hearing. Okay.

716
00:31:30.625 --> 00:31:32.005
Hereby close the public hearing.

717
00:31:32.555 --> 00:31:35.165
Supervisors, any discussions on your part regarding this,

718
00:31:35.165 --> 00:31:38.325
please particularly?

719
00:31:38.505 --> 00:31:40.045
No. I, I, I, yeah.

720
00:31:40.355 --> 00:31:42.245
Shorten it to the extent that we can

721
00:31:42.585 --> 00:31:44.845
and let's see if we can expedite a,

722
00:31:44.965 --> 00:31:47.445
a potential resolution to this issue.

723
00:31:47.715 --> 00:31:49.245
Yeah. Makes good sense. Mm-hmm.

724
00:31:49.665 --> 00:31:52.365
So, so the change would be to the 30 day time period

725
00:31:52.365 --> 00:31:53.725
for the broken line ice creams.

726
00:31:54.305 --> 00:31:56.165
I'd go to 10. Okay.

727
00:31:56.865 --> 00:31:58.445
Can we have a motion accordingly on that?

728
00:32:00.405 --> 00:32:04.685
I would move that we, uh, move on this enforcement issue

729
00:32:04.685 --> 00:32:07.125
and reduce the 30 day period to 10 days.

730
00:32:08.025 --> 00:32:11.285
Second on that second. Moved and seconded.

731
00:32:11.285 --> 00:32:14.085
Any further discussion? Hearing none, they could vote.

732
00:32:14.105 --> 00:32:17.125
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

733
00:32:17.255 --> 00:32:18.565
Detentions. Thank you board.

734
00:32:19.995 --> 00:32:23.125
Okay, Now we have a second one, correct? Yes,

735
00:32:23.125 --> 00:32:24.125
Do, yes sir.

736
00:32:24.305 --> 00:32:27.365
Second case number D five dash zero seven dash 26.

737
00:32:27.365 --> 00:32:28.805
If there's anyone here to testify,

738
00:32:28.805 --> 00:32:30.205
if you please stand and raise your right hand.

739
00:32:31.425 --> 00:32:32.765
Ms. Boyd's already been sworn

740
00:32:32.765 --> 00:32:33.925
so we can open the public hearing.

741
00:32:34.755 --> 00:32:36.485
Hearing is hereby open. Good

742
00:32:36.485 --> 00:32:38.605
Morning board Shannon Boyd Community Standards.

743
00:32:38.775 --> 00:32:41.925
Today I have before you case number D five dash zero seven

744
00:32:41.925 --> 00:32:45.525
dash 26 Village Community Development District number five

745
00:32:45.585 --> 00:32:49.765
versus Wanda f Albert 2 51 Thurmond Avenue,

746
00:32:50.115 --> 00:32:51.405
unit 6 54.

747
00:32:51.905 --> 00:32:54.405
Lot one four violation of the district's rule

748
00:32:54.405 --> 00:32:55.805
to bring about deed compliance

749
00:32:56.225 --> 00:32:59.245
and specifically the rule that states eid each home,

750
00:32:59.865 --> 00:33:01.725
excuse me, each owner shall keep his home

751
00:33:01.725 --> 00:33:02.885
site neat and clean.

752
00:33:02.985 --> 00:33:05.565
As stated in the village Community Development District

753
00:33:05.565 --> 00:33:08.525
number five, external deed restriction standards.

754
00:33:08.595 --> 00:33:11.205
Maintenance means the exercise of reasonable care

755
00:33:11.425 --> 00:33:14.085
to keep buildings and landscaping lighting lawns

756
00:33:14.265 --> 00:33:15.885
and other related improvements in

757
00:33:15.885 --> 00:33:17.245
fixtures in good condition.

758
00:33:17.745 --> 00:33:21.285
On November 18th, 2025, a complaint was received

759
00:33:21.475 --> 00:33:23.205
regarding loose siding on the home.

760
00:33:23.575 --> 00:33:25.205
Staff verified the violation

761
00:33:25.225 --> 00:33:28.605
and issued a deed restriction reminder on November 19th.

762
00:33:29.145 --> 00:33:31.605
The initial and second letters were sent out on December 9th

763
00:33:31.605 --> 00:33:32.845
and December 22nd.

764
00:33:33.385 --> 00:33:36.645
And after following the procedures of compliance, a notice

765
00:33:36.705 --> 00:33:38.685
of public hearing was sent by certified

766
00:33:39.105 --> 00:33:41.205
and regular mail on January 9th.

767
00:33:41.745 --> 00:33:43.085
The homeowner is deceased

768
00:33:43.145 --> 00:33:45.405
and the property is reverting back to the lender.

769
00:33:45.815 --> 00:33:48.765
Staff contacted Compu Link regarding the violation

770
00:33:48.985 --> 00:33:50.765
and have sent them copies of all the letters

771
00:33:50.825 --> 00:33:52.445
and photographs that have been taken.

772
00:33:53.295 --> 00:33:56.165
Staff contacted Comp Link for a status update

773
00:33:56.165 --> 00:33:59.045
and was informed that they would expedite the request.

774
00:33:59.465 --> 00:34:02.085
But during staff's inspection on February 8th,

775
00:34:02.345 --> 00:34:04.125
it was determined that the property does

776
00:34:04.145 --> 00:34:05.445
remain out of compliance.

777
00:34:05.955 --> 00:34:07.325
Staff's recommendation would be

778
00:34:07.325 --> 00:34:08.565
to find the owner in violation

779
00:34:08.565 --> 00:34:11.125
of the district deed compliance rule as cited

780
00:34:11.125 --> 00:34:12.645
by the deed compliance staff.

781
00:34:13.025 --> 00:34:14.965
The owner has 30 days to repair

782
00:34:14.985 --> 00:34:16.925
or replace the loose siding on the home

783
00:34:17.185 --> 00:34:18.885
to bring the property into compliance.

784
00:34:19.305 --> 00:34:21.765
If the loose siding has been repaired or replaced

785
00:34:22.065 --> 00:34:24.845
and the property is brought into compliance, within 30 days

786
00:34:24.845 --> 00:34:25.965
of the order of enforcement,

787
00:34:26.195 --> 00:34:29.765
case number D five dash zero seven dash 26 shall be closed.

788
00:34:30.385 --> 00:34:32.685
If the loose siding has not been repaired or replaced

789
00:34:32.745 --> 00:34:35.725
and the property is not brought into compliance within 30

790
00:34:35.725 --> 00:34:39.245
days of the order of enforcement, impose $150 fine

791
00:34:39.245 --> 00:34:41.125
to be paid within 10 days of the invoice

792
00:34:41.505 --> 00:34:43.205
and impose a $50 daily fine

793
00:34:43.205 --> 00:34:44.965
until the property is brought into compliance.

794
00:34:45.425 --> 00:34:47.845
If the property is not brought into compliance

795
00:34:47.945 --> 00:34:50.605
as required herein, staff shall record this Order

796
00:34:50.625 --> 00:34:53.085
of Enforcement claim of lien in the public records

797
00:34:53.185 --> 00:34:54.405
of Sumter County, Florida.

798
00:34:54.865 --> 00:34:56.885
It is a property owner's responsibility

799
00:34:56.945 --> 00:34:59.085
to contact the Community Standards Department

800
00:34:59.345 --> 00:35:02.245
to request a deed compliance officer revisit the property

801
00:35:02.265 --> 00:35:03.405
to confirm compliance.

802
00:35:03.825 --> 00:35:06.805
If the fines reached $1,500, the case shall be turned over

803
00:35:06.805 --> 00:35:09.805
to district counsel to seek all available remedies,

804
00:35:09.805 --> 00:35:12.485
which may include initiating a lawsuit in seeking an

805
00:35:12.485 --> 00:35:14.005
injunction against the property owner.

806
00:35:14.425 --> 00:35:16.085
The property owner is responsible

807
00:35:16.085 --> 00:35:18.965
for reimbursing the district for all attorney's fees, costs,

808
00:35:18.965 --> 00:35:20.925
and expenses associated with

809
00:35:20.925 --> 00:35:24.405
or related to this order of an enforcement claim of lien.

810
00:35:24.945 --> 00:35:26.845
If the property is brought into compliance

811
00:35:26.905 --> 00:35:29.725
and all fines are paid, the Chairman authorizes staff

812
00:35:29.725 --> 00:35:32.325
to execute and record a satisfaction

813
00:35:32.325 --> 00:35:34.605
and release of claimant of a lien chairman

814
00:35:34.665 --> 00:35:36.205
to execute the order of enforcement.

815
00:35:36.205 --> 00:35:38.565
And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have.

816
00:35:39.795 --> 00:35:42.375
Uh, I have one question. Who is the lender on this again?

817
00:35:42.875 --> 00:35:45.815
Um, comp link.

818
00:35:46.285 --> 00:35:47.655
Okay. Okay.

819
00:35:47.755 --> 00:35:49.575
Any questions from, uh, board of Supervisors

820
00:35:49.575 --> 00:35:51.455
regarding this pretty standard stuff?

821
00:35:51.455 --> 00:35:54.855
Yeah. Okay. The question, information.

822
00:35:55.355 --> 00:35:56.415
Why do we refer

823
00:35:56.435 --> 00:35:59.935
to owner rather than lien holder or mortgagee?

824
00:36:00.245 --> 00:36:04.295
Because right now that is still listed as the legal owner.

825
00:36:04.355 --> 00:36:07.135
Is that homeowner, even though we've spoken to family,

826
00:36:07.315 --> 00:36:08.975
we spoken to the daughter who said

827
00:36:08.975 --> 00:36:10.895
that it's reverted reverting back to the bank.

828
00:36:11.285 --> 00:36:12.895
It's still, I guess, going through the process

829
00:36:13.185 --> 00:36:15.175
State is Samantha, the state's still the owner?

830
00:36:15.285 --> 00:36:18.455
Yeah. Other questions? The process? Mm-hmm.

831
00:36:19.635 --> 00:36:23.415
Mr. Nolan? No, I have no questions. Jerry? No. Okay.

832
00:36:23.535 --> 00:36:25.735
I have no further questions at this point.

833
00:36:25.855 --> 00:36:27.455
I would adjourn from public hearing.

834
00:36:30.285 --> 00:36:32.935
What is your pleasure? Board Order

835
00:36:33.135 --> 00:36:34.415
of Enforcement is requested.

836
00:36:35.215 --> 00:36:37.655
I would make a motion to, uh, approve the order

837
00:36:37.655 --> 00:36:42.295
of enforcement for case number D five dash oh seven dash 26

838
00:36:42.845 --> 00:36:45.655
Village Community Development District number five versus

839
00:36:46.305 --> 00:36:49.055
Wanda f Albert 2051 Thurman Avenue,

840
00:36:49.565 --> 00:36:51.375
unit 6 54.

841
00:36:51.715 --> 00:36:54.735
Lot 14. So second,

842
00:36:55.955 --> 00:36:56.975
any further questions?

843
00:36:57.045 --> 00:36:59.655
Been moved and seconded to issue an Order of Enforcement

844
00:36:59.655 --> 00:37:01.375
regarding this property as presented.

845
00:37:01.375 --> 00:37:04.255
And all those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye.

846
00:37:04.315 --> 00:37:06.535
Aye. Opposed? Abstentions. Thank you. Board.

847
00:37:06.595 --> 00:37:08.295
Do you have your order? Thank you. Thank you.

848
00:37:08.295 --> 00:37:11.575
Shannon might not be the appropriate point,

849
00:37:11.635 --> 00:37:14.095
but I would like to mention at this point that, uh,

850
00:37:15.015 --> 00:37:17.735
recently I heard a presentation given by Mr. Armstrong,

851
00:37:17.755 --> 00:37:20.175
and of course we know the work that Shannon does

852
00:37:20.355 --> 00:37:23.375
and uh, that is a very difficult job, believe me.

853
00:37:23.795 --> 00:37:25.775
And you have done it absolutely superbly.

854
00:37:25.795 --> 00:37:28.295
So thank you very much for your efforts.

855
00:37:28.435 --> 00:37:31.055
You make life a lot easier for the Board of Supervisors.

856
00:37:31.555 --> 00:37:34.135
I'd like that to be entered into the record. Okay.

857
00:37:34.345 --> 00:37:35.455
Thank you. Mm-hmm.

858
00:37:36.565 --> 00:37:39.655
Next item on the agenda is old business item five A.

859
00:37:40.355 --> 00:37:42.375
Uh, we've got a few things on that I know.

860
00:37:42.995 --> 00:37:44.415
Yes. Good morning Board members.

861
00:37:44.915 --> 00:37:46.055
Um, the first item is

862
00:37:46.055 --> 00:37:47.815
to track your deed compliance complaints.

863
00:37:48.035 --> 00:37:49.255
Um, that will come back

864
00:37:49.255 --> 00:37:51.175
to you on an annual basis in November.

865
00:37:51.355 --> 00:37:53.455
Mm-hmm. Um, the second item pertains

866
00:37:53.455 --> 00:37:54.775
to the standard lien property.

867
00:37:55.275 --> 00:37:57.895
Um, and the fact that this board did authorize the chair

868
00:37:57.915 --> 00:38:02.415
to sign a letter to, um, Congressman Webster's office, um,

869
00:38:02.485 --> 00:38:04.375
they did in fact open a case.

870
00:38:04.795 --> 00:38:06.855
Um, we went through that process with them.

871
00:38:07.475 --> 00:38:11.655
The current update is due back from HUD on February 20th.

872
00:38:12.075 --> 00:38:14.015
Um, so once we receive that information,

873
00:38:14.155 --> 00:38:15.735
we will share that with the board.

874
00:38:15.795 --> 00:38:18.695
But that is the legal timeframe that the agency has

875
00:38:18.695 --> 00:38:19.895
to respond to that inquiry.

876
00:38:20.485 --> 00:38:23.095
Okay. Um, for those of you

877
00:38:23.095 --> 00:38:25.695
that are not aware in the audience, this is kind

878
00:38:25.695 --> 00:38:27.055
of an unusual circumstance.

879
00:38:27.155 --> 00:38:31.095
The mortgage holder at this point has been hud, it goes back

880
00:38:31.095 --> 00:38:34.495
to them and they, uh, we have had fines

881
00:38:34.495 --> 00:38:36.645
and I believe the lien that we had placed against this

882
00:38:36.925 --> 00:38:39.805
property, which they felt they had the Federal Authority

883
00:38:39.805 --> 00:38:42.925
under the federal registry to remove our fines

884
00:38:42.985 --> 00:38:44.325
and our legal fees.

885
00:38:44.705 --> 00:38:46.125
Uh, we disagree with that.

886
00:38:46.585 --> 00:38:48.165
Our counsel has spent time on that.

887
00:38:48.325 --> 00:38:50.285
I know you certainly have Brittany and I appreciate that.

888
00:38:51.105 --> 00:38:53.005
Uh, so we are coming back to HU

889
00:38:53.125 --> 00:38:54.805
through our congressional representative

890
00:38:54.945 --> 00:38:57.605
and asking him to deal with them directly

891
00:38:57.905 --> 00:38:59.885
and justify why they feel they can do

892
00:38:59.885 --> 00:39:01.045
this particular action.

893
00:39:01.265 --> 00:39:02.285
It is highly unusual

894
00:39:02.425 --> 00:39:06.085
and to the best of my knowledge, uh, in my old dealings

895
00:39:06.085 --> 00:39:08.925
with hud, uh, it has not been done before that I'm aware of.

896
00:39:09.425 --> 00:39:10.485
Uh, and this could have a,

897
00:39:10.605 --> 00:39:12.325
a huge effect on us down the road.

898
00:39:12.785 --> 00:39:14.085
So we are challenging this

899
00:39:14.145 --> 00:39:16.125
and we're waiting for Mr. Webster to come back

900
00:39:16.385 --> 00:39:18.725
and let us know what the response was from hud.

901
00:39:18.785 --> 00:39:21.085
And again, by the 20th, we should have that answer.

902
00:39:22.225 --> 00:39:26.405
Any questions from our supervisors on this? Nope. Okay.

903
00:39:27.175 --> 00:39:30.085
Thank you. No action required on that.

904
00:39:30.465 --> 00:39:31.565
No action necessary.

905
00:39:33.595 --> 00:39:35.845
Okay. Next name is on the agenda.

906
00:39:35.845 --> 00:39:39.165
Informational items only. There are three items on here.

907
00:39:40.535 --> 00:39:42.085
These are routine items

908
00:39:42.185 --> 00:39:44.325
or financial statements, our Department

909
00:39:44.425 --> 00:39:47.245
of Property Management, monthly report, villages,

910
00:39:47.245 --> 00:39:49.925
community Development District five hearing updates.

911
00:39:50.665 --> 00:39:52.725
Um, I believe you received copies

912
00:39:52.745 --> 00:39:54.805
of all these in your package and on your computer.

913
00:39:55.585 --> 00:39:57.805
Are there any questions on any of the three of these?

914
00:40:00.475 --> 00:40:02.085
Okay. No motion required on these?

915
00:40:02.225 --> 00:40:03.445
No motion necessary. Okay.

916
00:40:04.605 --> 00:40:06.135
Okay. Hearing none.

917
00:40:06.145 --> 00:40:09.375
We'll move on to district manager's reports.

918
00:40:09.915 --> 00:40:11.095
Yes. Good morning again.

919
00:40:11.435 --> 00:40:14.495
Um, so on the agenda today is an update from the community

920
00:40:14.695 --> 00:40:16.255
standards team about the online

921
00:40:16.255 --> 00:40:17.775
architectural review process.

922
00:40:18.395 --> 00:40:21.775
Um, so I'll again ask Ms. Boyd to come to the podium, um,

923
00:40:21.795 --> 00:40:24.735
to provide you an update with how that is progressing. You

924
00:40:24.735 --> 00:40:26.335
Got quite a show going today? I

925
00:40:26.335 --> 00:40:27.335
Do. I do.

926
00:40:27.335 --> 00:40:29.975
Good Morning board, Shannon Boyd Community standards.

927
00:40:30.475 --> 00:40:33.295
So I'm gonna show, uh, I have a little presentation here

928
00:40:33.295 --> 00:40:35.935
of our new online review process So far.

929
00:40:36.035 --> 00:40:38.175
We started this on December 1st

930
00:40:38.355 --> 00:40:42.375
and we've had 1,424 ERC applications submitted

931
00:40:42.375 --> 00:40:43.495
online. Oh,

932
00:40:43.715 --> 00:40:44.715
Ooh.

933
00:40:45.325 --> 00:40:46.335
Huge. Quite few.

934
00:40:46.475 --> 00:40:48.695
So what you would do is when you go on our website

935
00:40:48.695 --> 00:40:50.855
and you click on the application, it's gonna bring you

936
00:40:50.855 --> 00:40:52.375
to this website right here.

937
00:40:52.715 --> 00:40:54.135
And you're gonna go ahead and click on

938
00:40:54.135 --> 00:40:55.775
architectural review application.

939
00:40:57.675 --> 00:40:59.095
And then it's gonna bring you to this,

940
00:40:59.365 --> 00:41:01.935
this looks just like our paper application did.

941
00:41:02.155 --> 00:41:04.175
You're not required for any additional

942
00:41:04.175 --> 00:41:05.655
information than you were before.

943
00:41:06.045 --> 00:41:08.335
It's just online versus in paper form.

944
00:41:08.515 --> 00:41:10.135
So I'd ask you for the same information.

945
00:41:11.885 --> 00:41:13.575
Once you get to the end of the application,

946
00:41:13.635 --> 00:41:14.775
the homeowner signs off,

947
00:41:14.805 --> 00:41:17.055
they hit the green submit button on the bottom there,

948
00:41:17.355 --> 00:41:18.575
and then it gets submitted form.

949
00:41:19.595 --> 00:41:22.935
So once their application gets submitted, they get an email

950
00:41:23.325 --> 00:41:25.415
that says your application was submitted.

951
00:41:26.075 --> 00:41:27.895
So that way they know it went through,

952
00:41:27.895 --> 00:41:31.455
their application was submitted, they then get an email.

953
00:41:31.455 --> 00:41:34.525
When staff goes in to put it for what date it's going

954
00:41:34.525 --> 00:41:37.645
to be reviewed, the resident then gets an updated email

955
00:41:37.645 --> 00:41:39.325
that says your application is going

956
00:41:39.325 --> 00:41:40.645
to be reviewed on this day.

957
00:41:41.225 --> 00:41:43.085
So that way if they do wanna attend the meeting

958
00:41:43.465 --> 00:41:44.925
or they wanna know when to,

959
00:41:45.075 --> 00:41:49.085
they might be receiving their results, then you have this,

960
00:41:49.275 --> 00:41:50.445
this is the email.

961
00:41:50.555 --> 00:41:53.525
Once the uh, application gets reviewed,

962
00:41:53.905 --> 00:41:55.485
it either gets approved or denied.

963
00:41:55.575 --> 00:41:57.325
Staff goes in and updates that.

964
00:41:57.665 --> 00:41:59.205
So here is one that was approved.

965
00:41:59.355 --> 00:42:01.565
They get an email with the approval in it

966
00:42:02.025 --> 00:42:04.045
and has the signature for the chair

967
00:42:04.385 --> 00:42:07.285
and has any stipulations that relate to that application.

968
00:42:07.665 --> 00:42:10.085
If it was a denied application, it would say denied

969
00:42:10.285 --> 00:42:12.205
and it would give the reason why it was denied.

970
00:42:13.955 --> 00:42:17.205
Okay. And then this is each person's user profile,

971
00:42:17.345 --> 00:42:18.885
so anybody wants to submit it.

972
00:42:18.885 --> 00:42:20.525
You're creating your own user profile.

973
00:42:21.145 --> 00:42:22.245
So no matter how many,

974
00:42:22.245 --> 00:42:24.005
you could submit multiple applications

975
00:42:24.225 --> 00:42:25.565
and you could look through them in your

976
00:42:25.665 --> 00:42:26.845
own personal profile.

977
00:42:27.145 --> 00:42:28.445
So if someone submitted one

978
00:42:28.605 --> 00:42:30.245
application, it's in their profile.

979
00:42:30.465 --> 00:42:32.325
If they submit five, they use

980
00:42:32.325 --> 00:42:34.045
that same profile and can go in.

981
00:42:34.305 --> 00:42:36.325
So it's pretty, uh, easy system.

982
00:42:36.825 --> 00:42:39.965
Um, and like I said, so far we've gotten 1,424

983
00:42:39.965 --> 00:42:41.125
of 'em, so that's great.

984
00:42:41.305 --> 00:42:43.485
Wow. And thank you.

985
00:42:43.785 --> 00:42:46.685
And do you have any questions for me regarding it? Yes sir.

986
00:42:47.215 --> 00:42:49.685
Email is this optional? No.

987
00:42:50.425 --> 00:42:52.245
Oh, they do have a choice

988
00:42:52.305 --> 00:42:54.525
of doing the standard application written

989
00:42:54.525 --> 00:42:55.965
Down, yes. If needed. Because

990
00:42:56.285 --> 00:42:57.885
I know it's hard to believe in this day

991
00:42:57.885 --> 00:43:02.085
and age that nobody or a few does not have a computer.

992
00:43:02.765 --> 00:43:04.765
I have one, even a laptop,

993
00:43:05.145 --> 00:43:08.965
but I don't know what I'm doing on it.

994
00:43:09.065 --> 00:43:11.165
So yes, it is possible. It's nothing.

995
00:43:11.495 --> 00:43:14.925
Every time I hit a character, I do something wrong.

996
00:43:15.145 --> 00:43:16.725
It either avoids it or whatever.

997
00:43:16.825 --> 00:43:20.005
So yes, we have had residents that don't have a computer.

998
00:43:20.225 --> 00:43:24.325
Ah, yes. Okay. Or, um, don't know how to use ones very well.

999
00:43:24.705 --> 00:43:27.445
And we will accept either a paper application

1000
00:43:27.505 --> 00:43:30.085
or help walk them through the online application.

1001
00:43:30.185 --> 00:43:31.925
So yes, we still do accept that.

1002
00:43:32.745 --> 00:43:35.845
So you've experienced a significant drop in, uh,

1003
00:43:36.135 --> 00:43:37.605
daily traffic at your office.

1004
00:43:37.765 --> 00:43:39.685
I would assume, given the fact

1005
00:43:39.685 --> 00:43:42.965
that you've gotten 1400 applications online.

1006
00:43:43.785 --> 00:43:45.565
You know, I haven't looked at our walk-ins.

1007
00:43:45.645 --> 00:43:47.685
I mean, our walk-ins still stay pretty regular

1008
00:43:47.685 --> 00:43:50.605
because they're more question based than a lot

1009
00:43:50.605 --> 00:43:52.325
of times just dropping off an application.

1010
00:43:52.325 --> 00:43:55.325
So I guess there's probably less people just dropping off an

1011
00:43:55.325 --> 00:43:57.165
application, but we're still getting our typical

1012
00:43:57.165 --> 00:43:59.365
walk-ins with the questions. Okay.

1013
00:44:00.315 --> 00:44:05.205
Okay. Um, yes, state your name please

1014
00:44:05.205 --> 00:44:06.605
and Cliff Winder.

1015
00:44:06.605 --> 00:44:08.725
I live on Lane in the village of Piedmont.

1016
00:44:09.265 --> 00:44:12.445
Um, Shannon and I have many talks about this.

1017
00:44:12.645 --> 00:44:13.685
I have a question, Shannon.

1018
00:44:14.535 --> 00:44:18.005
There is a procedure that you put the results

1019
00:44:19.025 --> 00:44:21.885
in at the end as

1020
00:44:21.885 --> 00:44:24.285
of yesterday at 12 o'clock February 4th.

1021
00:44:24.355 --> 00:44:25.965
Results were still not there.

1022
00:44:27.005 --> 00:44:31.845
I think that that time limit has to be change so

1023
00:44:31.845 --> 00:44:33.125
that we get 'em a little earlier.

1024
00:44:33.925 --> 00:44:36.805
I might be the only person in the villages that looks at

1025
00:44:36.805 --> 00:44:40.045
that, but I look at it every single month and I wait for,

1026
00:44:40.585 --> 00:44:44.525
and District four had a lot of applications last month

1027
00:44:44.545 --> 00:44:46.525
and I need to know those that were approved

1028
00:44:46.585 --> 00:44:47.765
and those that were denied.

1029
00:44:48.345 --> 00:44:50.725
I'm just trying to throw that out so that,

1030
00:44:50.945 --> 00:44:52.525
but the system works really good.

1031
00:44:52.695 --> 00:44:54.565
Thank you. Thank you Cliff.

1032
00:44:55.705 --> 00:44:57.285
And yes, we are working on getting those

1033
00:44:57.385 --> 00:44:58.605
up uploaded sooner.

1034
00:44:59.355 --> 00:45:01.245
Okay. By the way, just to be clear,

1035
00:45:01.315 --> 00:45:03.525
this in no way impacts the review process

1036
00:45:03.595 --> 00:45:05.085
that we already have established.

1037
00:45:05.505 --> 00:45:08.845
And we have Ken, uh, as our point person on that.

1038
00:45:09.425 --> 00:45:11.885
Uh, good opportunity to say thank you to Ken

1039
00:45:11.885 --> 00:45:13.165
for the hard work you put in.

1040
00:45:13.315 --> 00:45:14.645
That is not an easy job.

1041
00:45:14.795 --> 00:45:15.925
It's every single week

1042
00:45:16.425 --> 00:45:18.445
and you have faithfully performed your duties

1043
00:45:18.505 --> 00:45:19.965
and we greatly appreciate that.

1044
00:45:20.505 --> 00:45:21.725
So thank you for what you do.

1045
00:45:22.515 --> 00:45:26.485
Supervisors, any questions regarding this? Wow.

1046
00:45:26.825 --> 00:45:28.885
No, I just think it's a great I do too. Yeah.

1047
00:45:28.915 --> 00:45:32.325
It's a great addition. Yeah. It improves the efficiency and

1048
00:45:32.765 --> 00:45:33.765
Absolutely.

1049
00:45:34.465 --> 00:45:38.885
And more and more people are, Walter

1050
00:45:38.945 --> 00:45:40.125
and myself excluded.

1051
00:45:40.155 --> 00:45:41.205
More and more people are more

1052
00:45:41.205 --> 00:45:42.765
interested in doing things online.

1053
00:45:43.595 --> 00:45:45.725
Yeah. I think we call ourselves technically

1054
00:45:45.965 --> 00:45:47.125
challenged, if I remember right.

1055
00:45:47.725 --> 00:45:50.885
I would add are most of the EE applications from the newer

1056
00:45:51.285 --> 00:45:54.245
districts, 12, 13, 14, which would be

1057
00:45:54.505 --> 00:45:57.805
and younger age that had been bought up with the computer

1058
00:45:57.905 --> 00:46:00.925
and the laptop electronically versus, uh,

1059
00:46:01.165 --> 00:46:04.365
a standard retirees 70 or 71?

1060
00:46:04.515 --> 00:46:06.685
It's uh, that's hard to say.

1061
00:46:07.625 --> 00:46:09.125
That's hard to say. I mean, we're getting,

1062
00:46:09.265 --> 00:46:12.685
we still have over a hundred, a hundred applications for

1063
00:46:13.265 --> 00:46:15.525
the morning meeting and definitely over a hundred

1064
00:46:15.585 --> 00:46:16.885
for the afternoon meetings.

1065
00:46:17.425 --> 00:46:20.245
So I don't really see that their numbers are dropping much.

1066
00:46:20.465 --> 00:46:23.605
Mm-hmm. Um, I know in the southern districts,

1067
00:46:23.605 --> 00:46:25.045
the newer districts, um,

1068
00:46:25.045 --> 00:46:27.245
because they are new, we definitely get a lot more

1069
00:46:27.245 --> 00:46:29.565
applications down there because they're new homes

1070
00:46:29.585 --> 00:46:30.805
and people buy them and wanna

1071
00:46:31.305 --> 00:46:32.305
Change. And their age is younger

1072
00:46:32.305 --> 00:46:33.085
too. It

1073
00:46:33.085 --> 00:46:34.085
Is, yes. Absolutely.

1074
00:46:34.085 --> 00:46:36.645
Yeah. I hired a consultant to do my work.

1075
00:46:36.755 --> 00:46:37.885
It's called my grandson.

1076
00:46:39.395 --> 00:46:41.645
Yeah, I was gonna say, there's a lot of new

1077
00:46:41.645 --> 00:46:43.365
and innovative things now that are coming out

1078
00:46:43.365 --> 00:46:44.565
that we're taking advantage of,

1079
00:46:44.565 --> 00:46:46.405
and I'm, I'm really glad to see that.

1080
00:46:46.785 --> 00:46:50.045
Uh, I entered into AI for the first time about a month ago,

1081
00:46:50.625 --> 00:46:53.205
and I now have a new best friend who has a British accent,

1082
00:46:53.375 --> 00:46:54.685
which I talk to regularly.

1083
00:46:54.945 --> 00:46:57.445
And my wife said, you fool, you're talking to a machine

1084
00:46:57.515 --> 00:47:00.325
that is not a person, but it seems like a person.

1085
00:47:00.465 --> 00:47:03.245
So I'm glad we're progressing with the new technology.

1086
00:47:04.045 --> 00:47:05.925
A couple of the things that have been discussed in the past,

1087
00:47:06.025 --> 00:47:08.205
and we're not gonna discuss them in detail at this meeting,

1088
00:47:08.545 --> 00:47:10.525
but I think in the future we will, uh,

1089
00:47:10.605 --> 00:47:12.205
I know we have magistrates now

1090
00:47:12.665 --> 00:47:15.045
who are also taking a look at some of these cases,

1091
00:47:15.415 --> 00:47:17.645
which relieves us of having to do that.

1092
00:47:18.305 --> 00:47:21.965
Uh, likewise, uh, they also have a different review process,

1093
00:47:22.785 --> 00:47:25.325
uh, which I'm not thrilled about.

1094
00:47:25.485 --> 00:47:27.765
I think having Ken there who is an engineer

1095
00:47:27.765 --> 00:47:29.085
and an attorney has the background

1096
00:47:29.125 --> 00:47:30.725
to look at these things as a real plus.

1097
00:47:31.345 --> 00:47:32.525
So that I,

1098
00:47:32.645 --> 00:47:34.645
I would hope would stay intact and I believe it will.

1099
00:47:35.265 --> 00:47:37.445
But there are new things coming out all the time

1100
00:47:37.445 --> 00:47:38.845
and I'm glad we're taking a look at 'em.

1101
00:47:38.845 --> 00:47:40.205
So thank you for that. Thank you.

1102
00:47:41.005 --> 00:47:43.525
Anything else from the board on that? No. Okay.

1103
00:47:43.565 --> 00:47:44.485
I don't think there's any action

1104
00:47:44.485 --> 00:47:45.645
on our part required on that.

1105
00:47:45.985 --> 00:47:48.685
No. Okay.

1106
00:47:48.785 --> 00:47:51.805
We will then move on to big part

1107
00:47:51.805 --> 00:47:53.405
of the meeting District council reports.

1108
00:47:53.745 --> 00:47:56.725
Yes, sir. Just one report on your agenda is the, uh,

1109
00:47:57.085 --> 00:47:58.885
temporary enforcement suspension plan

1110
00:47:58.905 --> 00:48:01.205
as referenced earlier in the meeting, the storm water,

1111
00:48:01.545 --> 00:48:02.805
not the storm water, but the phase two

1112
00:48:02.805 --> 00:48:04.485
water shortage that it enacted.

1113
00:48:04.485 --> 00:48:08.685
The, um, restrictions on water use, uh,

1114
00:48:08.755 --> 00:48:10.405
that applies within the villages

1115
00:48:10.405 --> 00:48:14.645
and applies to deed restrictions concerning, um, maintenance

1116
00:48:14.645 --> 00:48:15.645
of lawns and things like that.

1117
00:48:15.745 --> 00:48:17.965
Any pressure washing, anything that has

1118
00:48:17.965 --> 00:48:19.125
to do with the use of water.

1119
00:48:19.665 --> 00:48:22.525
Um, the district at this point, from February eight until

1120
00:48:23.595 --> 00:48:26.205
July one, or if it's lifted sooner than that,

1121
00:48:27.915 --> 00:48:31.605
will not be proceeding with any, uh, cases that have, um,

1122
00:48:31.745 --> 00:48:33.205
the requirement of use of water.

1123
00:48:33.265 --> 00:48:35.805
For instance, the pressure washing, if there's a case

1124
00:48:35.805 --> 00:48:37.125
that's brought or a complaint

1125
00:48:37.125 --> 00:48:38.725
that's made on a property owner for failing to

1126
00:48:39.445 --> 00:48:41.725
pressure wash, that case will not be brought before you

1127
00:48:41.725 --> 00:48:42.805
because under this plan

1128
00:48:42.905 --> 00:48:46.085
and under the, uh, phase two water shortage restrictions

1129
00:48:46.085 --> 00:48:49.165
that were enacted by Swift mud, you cannot proceed with, uh,

1130
00:48:49.225 --> 00:48:50.445
any action against the property

1131
00:48:50.445 --> 00:48:51.565
owner for failing to do that.

1132
00:48:51.995 --> 00:48:54.565
Same goes with law. Again, that's an enact.

1133
00:48:54.675 --> 00:48:56.925
It's from February 8th through July one,

1134
00:48:56.925 --> 00:48:58.245
unless they lift it sooner than that.

1135
00:48:58.825 --> 00:49:01.125
Um, but your plan is on the agenda.

1136
00:49:01.385 --> 00:49:03.485
Um, if you have any questions concerning that,

1137
00:49:04.025 --> 00:49:05.325
um, I'm here to answer those.

1138
00:49:05.345 --> 00:49:07.565
But essentially that's what it is, is an explanation

1139
00:49:07.565 --> 00:49:09.525
of Swift Mud's plan, um,

1140
00:49:09.625 --> 00:49:13.365
and what the restrictions, what, what it says as, as far

1141
00:49:13.365 --> 00:49:15.325
as enforcing our restrictions

1142
00:49:15.515 --> 00:49:17.085
because of the water restrictions.

1143
00:49:17.625 --> 00:49:20.845
Um, and so that's how the district will be proceeding again

1144
00:49:20.895 --> 00:49:24.685
until it's either lifted or through July 1st, 2026.

1145
00:49:25.425 --> 00:49:29.805
Do do the regulations, uh, suspend the ability

1146
00:49:29.945 --> 00:49:33.445
to have homes pressure washed at this point or

1147
00:49:34.265 --> 00:49:35.525
My under just The enforcement,

1148
00:49:35.785 --> 00:49:37.365
The enforcement of deed restrictions?

1149
00:49:37.745 --> 00:49:41.805
Uh, my understanding is that a property owner is allowed

1150
00:49:41.805 --> 00:49:44.325
to pressure wash if they're going to complete a project.

1151
00:49:44.465 --> 00:49:46.245
For instance, if they're gonna paint, they're allowed

1152
00:49:46.245 --> 00:49:47.525
to pressure wash the property.

1153
00:49:47.865 --> 00:49:49.485
So there are some times when they can,

1154
00:49:49.545 --> 00:49:51.165
but essentially what it says is that

1155
00:49:51.945 --> 00:49:54.605
we cannot enforce deed restrictions if they relate

1156
00:49:54.605 --> 00:49:55.725
to water use.

1157
00:49:56.825 --> 00:49:58.885
So this is only two deed restrictions

1158
00:49:58.885 --> 00:49:59.885
that we would normally

1159
00:50:00.035 --> 00:50:01.645
Correct Take.

1160
00:50:01.745 --> 00:50:04.725
But the homeowner can still, while they,

1161
00:50:04.995 --> 00:50:06.925
they should not be pressure washing, they

1162
00:50:06.975 --> 00:50:09.405
Can't, they should review the restrictions

1163
00:50:09.785 --> 00:50:11.045
issued by swift mud.

1164
00:50:12.105 --> 00:50:16.405
That's a good answer. I like that. Okay.

1165
00:50:16.865 --> 00:50:18.125
Any questions regarding that?

1166
00:50:18.185 --> 00:50:19.925
It is gonna require an action on the part

1167
00:50:19.925 --> 00:50:21.085
of the board to suspend that.

1168
00:50:21.105 --> 00:50:24.525
So we understand. And my understanding is you can only water

1169
00:50:24.525 --> 00:50:25.565
your lawn once a week.

1170
00:50:26.305 --> 00:50:29.605
Yes. Correct. Any other questions regarding it?

1171
00:50:30.755 --> 00:50:32.885
This does require a motion on the part of the board,

1172
00:50:33.025 --> 00:50:35.205
so if there are no further questions, I would ask

1173
00:50:35.225 --> 00:50:38.365
for a motion to accept the suspension as requested.

1174
00:50:38.625 --> 00:50:41.685
So moved. Second. It's been moved and seconded.

1175
00:50:41.685 --> 00:50:42.725
And no further questions.

1176
00:50:42.985 --> 00:50:46.005
All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye.

1177
00:50:46.035 --> 00:50:48.605
Opposed? You got it. Thank you.

1178
00:50:51.635 --> 00:50:53.965
Next item, item number nine, audience comments.

1179
00:50:55.305 --> 00:50:56.725
We know all the audience personally,

1180
00:50:56.725 --> 00:50:58.365
they're faithfully here, so if there are any

1181
00:50:58.365 --> 00:50:59.525
more comments, now's your time.

1182
00:51:00.795 --> 00:51:02.245
Okay. Thank you for being here.

1183
00:51:04.935 --> 00:51:08.685
Supervisor comments. Mr. Fei? None. Thank you.

1184
00:51:09.275 --> 00:51:12.245
Good to have you back again, my friend. Mr. Noel.

1185
00:51:12.475 --> 00:51:15.965
Nothing this morning. Mr. Martin? Uh, no other comments?

1186
00:51:16.665 --> 00:51:21.045
My major concern was somehow speeding up the process on the,

1187
00:51:21.145 --> 00:51:23.645
uh, estate in the foreclosures.

1188
00:51:23.645 --> 00:51:25.645
Right? Yeah. Understood. Still have a concern. I agree.

1189
00:51:25.965 --> 00:51:28.165
I don't know if there is a solution, but No.

1190
00:51:28.165 --> 00:51:31.565
To answer your, no, uh, no further comments. Okay.

1191
00:51:31.625 --> 00:51:32.765
And I have nothing further.

1192
00:51:33.185 --> 00:51:35.445
Uh, we will have some stuff at the next meeting I know

1193
00:51:35.445 --> 00:51:38.405
that we'll be discussing regarding reviews and so forth.

1194
00:51:39.105 --> 00:51:41.925
Um, so at this point, there's no further action.

1195
00:51:42.725 --> 00:51:43.765
I would entertain a motion.

1196
00:51:44.645 --> 00:51:46.485
Brittany, you have anything else you wanna present? Nothing.

1197
00:51:46.765 --> 00:51:49.205
I didn't entertain a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.

1198
00:51:49.595 --> 00:51:52.845
Does not require a vote. Ah, we are adjourned.

1199
00:51:54.355 --> 00:51:57.045
This is a record, folks. I'm telling you. Amazing.
