Karen Clary, assistant budget director. 25 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.100 I'm here today to request adoption of Resolution 26 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:32.400 2026-04 to approve your fiscal year 27 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:36.400 2026-27 proposed budget and to set the public hearing to 28 00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:40.340 adopt the fiscal year 2026-27 final budget for September 29 00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:44.330 1st, 2026 at 1:00 PM here at Everglades Recreation 30 00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:48.300 Center. In accordance with Chapter 190, the district must approve by 31 00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:52.130 June 15th a proposed budget, proposed maintenance assessment rates, and 32 00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:55.360 adopt a resolution to set the public hearing for the budget adoption. 33 00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.320 Once approved, the proposed budget will be submitted to the local governing 34 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:02.800 authorities for a 60-day review and comment period prior to budget 35 00:02:02.820 --> 00:02:06.540 adoption. The approved proposed budget will also be made available on the 36 00:02:06.580 --> 00:02:09.670 district's website and at the village's Community Development District's 37 00:02:09.741 --> 00:02:11.021 administration office. 38 00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.820 The board of supervisors reviewed and discussed the fiscal year 39 00:02:14.940 --> 00:02:18.150 2026-27 recommended budget during your May regular 40 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.080 meeting. The attached proposed operating budget of 41 00:02:21.160 --> 00:02:24.600 $4,311,353 42 00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:29.010 reflects an increase of $98,500, or 43 00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:32.480 2%, from your fiscal year 2025-26 amended budget. 44 00:02:33.170 --> 00:02:36.880 This increase is mainly due to higher project-wide fees and increased maintenance 45 00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:40.470 costs. Based on board direction at your budget workshop, there is a 46 00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:43.760 2% increase in maintenance assessments included in fiscal year 47 00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:45.740 2026-27 proposed budget. 48 00:02:46.820 --> 00:02:49.680 Also attached are the proposed budgets for your debt service funds. 49 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.930 These budgets reflect interest and principal, along with other bond-related 50 00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:56.060 expenses, in addition to the revenue received from bond assessment 51 00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:59.880 payments. So at this time, staff recommends approval of 52 00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:03.500 Resolution 2026-04 to approve the fiscal year 53 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:07.620 2026-27 proposed budget and to set the public hearing to 54 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.500 adopt the fiscal year 2026-27 final budget for September 55 00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:15.480 1st, 2026 at 1:00 PM at Everglades Recreation Center, and we're 56 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:16.620 here if you have any questions. 57 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.140 Any comments from the board at this time? 58 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:24.000 No? 59 00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:26.820 Do I have a motion from the board? 60 00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:30.560 I would move that we adopt Resolution 61 00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:32.740 2026-04 62 00:03:34.140 --> 00:03:37.980 to approve the fiscal year 2026-27 proposed budget 63 00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:42.580 and proposed maintenance assessment rate set 64 00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:45.360 at the public hearing to be adopted 65 00:03:46.180 --> 00:03:49.780 on the fiscal year 2026-27 final budget maintenance 66 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.880 amendment rates for September 1, 2026 67 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.620 at 1:00 PM at the Everglades. That's my motion. 68 00:03:57.600 --> 00:03:58.340 Do I have a second? 69 00:03:58.860 --> 00:03:59.560 Second. 70 00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:00.660 All in favor? 71 00:04:01.060 --> 00:04:01.260 Aye. 72 00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:03.060 Aye. Thank you. 73 00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:03.740 Thank you very much. 74 00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:11.660 Old business. 75 00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:15.990 Yes, sir. The only item on old business is also on district council reports, 76 00:04:16.101 --> 00:04:20.041 which was to discuss the fine request waiver, 77 00:04:20.541 --> 00:04:23.280 and it's up to you, Mr. Chair, if you would like to address this item now or wait 78 00:04:23.300 --> 00:04:25.040 till Mr. Briones' reports. 79 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:28.460 We could- 80 00:04:29.740 --> 00:04:29.750 I. 81 00:04:29.780 --> 00:04:30.420 You're going to go ahead? 82 00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:31.740 Sure. 83 00:04:34.380 --> 00:04:35.720 I guess we want to talk about it now. 84 00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:39.920 All right. Let's talk. If you go to your agenda, go down to the 85 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.380 district council report, you'll see that there's an agenda item on there that 86 00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:46.400 lays out the four requirements 87 00:04:47.760 --> 00:04:51.640 that we came upon, the agreement we came upon, of course, subject to this board's 88 00:04:51.710 --> 00:04:53.820 action when we met with the property owners. 89 00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:57.550 And in short, they've agreed to bring that property back into compliance, 90 00:04:57.640 --> 00:05:00.740 meaning the soil would be back to original design. 91 00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:03.160 They're going to put some ground cover down. 92 00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:07.270 We agreed that they would do it substantially complete by 93 00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:09.670 within 60 days and full complete within 90 days. 94 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:14.400 And that we would not reduce... 95 00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:17.460 Well, I guess we would reduce the fines, but essentially not reduce the cost. 96 00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:21.300 So we would recover our cost not to exceed $3,000, which at the 97 00:05:21.340 --> 00:05:24.600 time of the meeting, I think we were in the $2,300 range. 98 00:05:24.640 --> 00:05:28.260 Didn't take into consideration that meeting that we had as well, plus my time 99 00:05:28.300 --> 00:05:29.640 and other time. So, 100 00:05:30.440 --> 00:05:34.170 and then finally, if the requirements of one through 101 00:05:34.300 --> 00:05:37.600 three are not met, then number four says that it goes back to status quo. 102 00:05:37.640 --> 00:05:41.190 They'll owe all the money. So if they don't bring the property into compliance, 103 00:05:41.260 --> 00:05:44.730 or not necessarily into compliance, but bring the soil back to 104 00:05:45.640 --> 00:05:49.520 original design within that time period, then they essentially would be in 105 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.980 default of this agreement and would then owe everything. 106 00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:55.800 There would be no waiver or anything like that of the fines. 107 00:05:56.320 --> 00:05:59.860 Of course, that's the short of it, and if you're interested in proceeding in that 108 00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:02.340 manner, we just need a motion to approve. 109 00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:05.800 If you want to open it up for discussion, I would suggest you do so at this point. 110 00:06:08.044 --> 00:06:10.404 Do we have any discussion from our supervisors? 111 00:06:11.564 --> 00:06:12.264 Is this the 112 00:06:14.104 --> 00:06:14.884 deal you were talking about? 113 00:06:14.924 --> 00:06:18.294 Yeah. Just a comment. Yeah, we met with the 114 00:06:18.664 --> 00:06:20.464 property owners, and the 115 00:06:22.404 --> 00:06:26.184 emphasis was that the property had to be restored 116 00:06:26.194 --> 00:06:28.144 to its original design, 117 00:06:29.464 --> 00:06:30.704 with approved ground cover. 118 00:06:31.624 --> 00:06:35.304 And that, if that takes place within the timeframe, 119 00:06:36.104 --> 00:06:36.544 that the 120 00:06:40.044 --> 00:06:43.304 penalties would be waived except for the costs that we have incurred. 121 00:06:44.084 --> 00:06:45.824 They would have to reimburse us for that. 122 00:06:46.864 --> 00:06:50.184 And if the terms are not complied with within the 123 00:06:50.244 --> 00:06:54.044 timeframe that we just discussed, then we revert back 124 00:06:54.404 --> 00:06:56.994 to where we were, that all the fines are reinstated, 125 00:06:58.004 --> 00:07:00.364 and then it'll be a matter of enforcement after that. 126 00:07:04.004 --> 00:07:06.984 But that was the long and the short of it. 127 00:07:09.024 --> 00:07:13.004 And I would recommend to the board that we 128 00:07:13.064 --> 00:07:14.374 do approve that. 129 00:07:15.604 --> 00:07:17.604 It was an arm's length transaction. 130 00:07:18.644 --> 00:07:20.384 We had a good discussion. 131 00:07:21.284 --> 00:07:22.474 And I think that 132 00:07:23.284 --> 00:07:27.084 if the parties comply, then I think that we will 133 00:07:27.144 --> 00:07:31.084 have at least resolved it as best as we can as a board. 134 00:07:31.604 --> 00:07:33.424 So I would recommend that we accept that. 135 00:07:34.764 --> 00:07:35.084 Thank you. 136 00:07:35.984 --> 00:07:39.944 Mark, this relieves the responsibility and the liability 137 00:07:40.024 --> 00:07:43.254 of this board should there be damage from... 138 00:07:43.364 --> 00:07:47.134 I noticed in whatever was presented when I first read it, it said 139 00:07:47.644 --> 00:07:51.344 we're coming up on hurricane season, and should we get a torrential 140 00:07:51.404 --> 00:07:53.783 rain or something, and there was damage. 141 00:07:54.124 --> 00:07:56.274 But the board is covered with this- 142 00:07:56.284 --> 00:08:00.024 As far as this property is concerned, once it's returned to the original design, 143 00:08:00.104 --> 00:08:03.104 then you're back to where you were at the beginning as far as status quo. 144 00:08:04.764 --> 00:08:08.584 So whether that relieves the board from any liability, it's 145 00:08:08.624 --> 00:08:11.874 hard to say, but it does with regard to that property because the property's going 146 00:08:11.874 --> 00:08:13.624 to be back to where it was initially. 147 00:08:15.364 --> 00:08:16.684 Any other comments from the board? 148 00:08:17.964 --> 00:08:19.324 Do I have a motion to approve? 149 00:08:20.064 --> 00:08:20.924 So moved. 150 00:08:20.964 --> 00:08:21.564 Do I have sec- 151 00:08:21.933 --> 00:08:21.933 Hold on. 152 00:08:24.394 --> 00:08:24.574 We're going to get public comment. Just a comment. 153 00:08:24.594 --> 00:08:27.364 So we have a motion and a second. We can have some public comment now. 154 00:08:29.584 --> 00:08:31.084 Please come to the mic. 155 00:08:34.345 --> 00:08:38.244 Good afternoon, council. Mark Brymer, 4534 Pearlman Way. 156 00:08:39.704 --> 00:08:43.054 Thank you for doing this. This is wonderful. We got a feel of all your work and Mr. 157 00:08:43.225 --> 00:08:45.124 Briones, all your work. We appreciate what you've done. 158 00:08:45.164 --> 00:08:47.824 This has been a long process, and we're glad that we're here. 159 00:08:49.644 --> 00:08:52.904 You may have seen an email from John that came out, I believe it was last Thursday 160 00:08:53.444 --> 00:08:56.784 early in the morning. It was sent to each of you, plus to Carrie and Mr. 161 00:08:57.084 --> 00:09:00.924 Briones. And John had brought up some issues that I wanted to 162 00:09:00.984 --> 00:09:04.504 see if you wanted to put into your motion. Maybe you don't, I don't know. 163 00:09:06.004 --> 00:09:09.044 The resident on the property line of John has, 164 00:09:10.624 --> 00:09:14.544 over the drainage inlet from the south, a bucket over it and 165 00:09:14.564 --> 00:09:17.304 put a rock on it that stopped all the drainage coming from that 166 00:09:17.324 --> 00:09:21.264 direction towards the property, which is also blocked off. 167 00:09:21.304 --> 00:09:24.664 And he was asking if this board could provide any relief for that. 168 00:09:24.724 --> 00:09:26.464 So I'm just going to throw these questions out to you. 169 00:09:27.184 --> 00:09:27.194 Okay. 170 00:09:29.004 --> 00:09:32.924 It mentions, and this may be a little bit semantics, but it mentions a swale 171 00:09:32.964 --> 00:09:34.444 to return to original design. 172 00:09:35.404 --> 00:09:39.264 And that should, but it doesn't say that to remove the homemade drainage 173 00:09:39.304 --> 00:09:40.284 system that's put in there. 174 00:09:41.184 --> 00:09:44.224 I just heard Mr. Briones say return it to original. 175 00:09:44.304 --> 00:09:47.624 If it's not clear enough, we would like to see that very clear. 176 00:09:49.784 --> 00:09:52.004 I'm out in the community a lot, and I get a lot of questions. 177 00:09:52.064 --> 00:09:55.764 And the question I got asked three times this last week was what happens after 178 00:09:55.784 --> 00:09:57.624 90 days if none of this comes together? 179 00:09:58.184 --> 00:10:01.144 And I'm just throwing these questions out there. What does the board do? 180 00:10:01.204 --> 00:10:04.464 What does Mr. Briones' direction at that point, at 90 days, nothing's happened? 181 00:10:05.244 --> 00:10:06.224 What goes from there? 182 00:10:08.104 --> 00:10:11.784 Another request that came up was to keep this issue on the old business 183 00:10:11.844 --> 00:10:15.774 agenda for 30, 60, and 90 days. I don't think you guys have any idea how many 184 00:10:15.844 --> 00:10:18.404 people listen to the recordings of this group. 185 00:10:19.084 --> 00:10:22.284 Just primarily concerned because they don't want to run into what we've run into. 186 00:10:22.294 --> 00:10:25.864 They really don't want to see this happen. I've talked to real estate agents. 187 00:10:25.884 --> 00:10:27.144 It's amazing the number of people. 188 00:10:27.164 --> 00:10:30.494 I actually got stopped on a softball field, asked what's going 189 00:10:30.664 --> 00:10:31.184 on. 190 00:10:32.324 --> 00:10:36.124 How do we find out? And so your recordings are very much listened to. 191 00:10:36.204 --> 00:10:39.624 So if you can keep that on the agenda, reports from staff or Mr. 192 00:10:39.684 --> 00:10:42.844 Briones or Carrie or whoever for the next 30, 60, 90 days, that would be 193 00:10:42.884 --> 00:10:44.184 wonderful. 194 00:10:45.844 --> 00:10:46.284 Lastly, 195 00:10:47.364 --> 00:10:49.904 he mentioned the CFB approval for the 196 00:10:49.944 --> 00:10:53.864 demolition. What we're concerned about is that 90 197 00:10:53.924 --> 00:10:57.764 days, 60 days, what gets done may not be what you guys want 198 00:10:57.804 --> 00:11:01.794 done. Could we have an assigned agreement from the demolition company that's 199 00:11:01.824 --> 00:11:04.624 going to do this, from the homeowners and from the demolition 200 00:11:05.764 --> 00:11:09.154 group that's going to do that, provided to CFB to make sure everything is on the 201 00:11:09.204 --> 00:11:11.934 right thing? Because we've heard this, "We don't know how to do this. 202 00:11:12.024 --> 00:11:15.154 We don't know what's right. We don't know what's wrong." If it's in front of this 203 00:11:15.184 --> 00:11:18.144 board, if it's in front of the demolition people, if it's in front of 204 00:11:18.204 --> 00:11:20.664 CFB, can't miss it on that sort of thing. 205 00:11:20.714 --> 00:11:23.784 So I don't know what of that you want to include. 206 00:11:23.884 --> 00:11:27.024 I gave you five different things. But those are the primary issues. 207 00:11:27.084 --> 00:11:29.804 But we certainly applaud what you have done, but we just 208 00:11:31.264 --> 00:11:35.184 want all the I's dotted and the T's crossed because it just keeps moving. 209 00:11:35.364 --> 00:11:36.504 So thank you for your time. 210 00:11:37.064 --> 00:11:37.264 Mm-hmm. 211 00:11:38.584 --> 00:11:41.904 So Mr. Chair, if you'll recall, this board determined that 212 00:11:42.004 --> 00:11:45.964 the drainage issue between the property owners was a civil 213 00:11:46.024 --> 00:11:48.824 issue, and that you did not want to take any 214 00:11:48.944 --> 00:11:52.564 action based on the fact that if they 215 00:11:52.644 --> 00:11:53.224 wanted 216 00:11:54.084 --> 00:11:57.724 to take action on each other, they certainly could, but there was no damage to 217 00:11:57.744 --> 00:12:01.664 district property. So collectively as a whole, as a board determined that 218 00:12:01.684 --> 00:12:03.604 it was a civil issue between the property owners. 219 00:12:04.184 --> 00:12:08.124 The only reason that this is back here today, and the only reason that you are 220 00:12:08.164 --> 00:12:11.484 requesting that they bring this swale back into original 221 00:12:11.764 --> 00:12:15.544 construction is because the homeowners asked for you to waive the fines. 222 00:12:15.964 --> 00:12:19.064 And that was going to be a condition of you waiving the 223 00:12:19.124 --> 00:12:22.996 fines.If they elect not to, then 224 00:12:23.016 --> 00:12:26.936 they will continue to owe the fines, and you would, I would assume, direct Mr. 225 00:12:27.216 --> 00:12:31.156 Briones to take whatever legal action is necessary to collect the fines, 226 00:12:31.536 --> 00:12:33.896 just like you would do in any other deed compliance case. 227 00:12:34.756 --> 00:12:38.096 If they do bring it back into their original construction, and what we would do is 228 00:12:38.156 --> 00:12:42.116 ask CFB to go out there and verify that it is in fact back to 229 00:12:42.136 --> 00:12:44.416 where it is functioning as originally constructed, 230 00:12:45.276 --> 00:12:49.196 then per this agreement, you would waive the fines minus 231 00:12:49.296 --> 00:12:52.746 whatever costs you have up until now, not to exceed 3,000. 232 00:12:53.136 --> 00:12:56.725 So I just want to remind the property owners that you as a 233 00:12:56.816 --> 00:13:00.776 board chose not to enforce this, and if the property owners 234 00:13:00.816 --> 00:13:03.316 wanted to enforce against each other, they certainly could. 235 00:13:03.336 --> 00:13:06.756 But the only reason that you're discussing this again is because the homeowners 236 00:13:06.776 --> 00:13:08.116 requested you to waive the fines. 237 00:13:10.636 --> 00:13:14.396 I would just like to have it listed under our old thing for the 90 238 00:13:14.456 --> 00:13:15.256 days compliance- 239 00:13:15.356 --> 00:13:15.936 I agree 240 00:13:16.136 --> 00:13:20.036 ... to make sure that it is followed up within 90 days from deed 241 00:13:20.136 --> 00:13:20.716 compliance. 242 00:13:22.376 --> 00:13:23.536 I didn't hear that. I'm sorry. 243 00:13:24.476 --> 00:13:25.475 I didn't hear what you said. 244 00:13:26.416 --> 00:13:29.716 I would like to have it still stay on our old agenda. 245 00:13:30.276 --> 00:13:30.416 Yes. 246 00:13:31.076 --> 00:13:34.846 After the 90 days, if it doesn't meet the thing, then we talk about it at that 247 00:13:34.996 --> 00:13:35.236 point. 248 00:13:35.436 --> 00:13:37.816 I agree. I think that, again, 249 00:13:38.816 --> 00:13:41.136 we have to do that just to keep our thumb on 250 00:13:42.696 --> 00:13:42.856 it. 251 00:13:44.016 --> 00:13:47.756 But the certification that will come from the CFB or whoever 252 00:13:47.796 --> 00:13:50.836 does is what we want. We're looking for that. 253 00:13:51.036 --> 00:13:54.956 Once that they sign off, I'm not going to go out there and say, "Yeah, I don't know 254 00:13:55.036 --> 00:13:58.516 what I'm doing." But once the contractor and the 255 00:13:58.896 --> 00:14:01.906 people that know what they're doing say, "Yeah, this is the way back it is," 256 00:14:02.936 --> 00:14:05.156 I can't imagine that they would say if there's a 257 00:14:05.976 --> 00:14:09.376 bucket over a drain or something, that that was not part of the original thing. 258 00:14:09.436 --> 00:14:12.236 But that's not something that we can deal with at this point. 259 00:14:13.156 --> 00:14:16.956 Once we get the certification that it's compliant, then I think that 260 00:14:17.036 --> 00:14:18.356 our job is done at that point. 261 00:14:19.576 --> 00:14:23.356 That's correct. Again, the bucket over the drain, all of that, it's a 262 00:14:23.456 --> 00:14:25.296 civil issue between the property owners. 263 00:14:25.336 --> 00:14:28.336 That is not something that you would handle as a board. 264 00:14:28.516 --> 00:14:28.835 Correct. 265 00:14:31.076 --> 00:14:33.316 Do I have any other comments from the board at this time? 266 00:14:35.796 --> 00:14:36.636 I'm the property owner. 267 00:14:40.016 --> 00:14:43.996 First of all, I want the board to make it perfectly clear that we have 268 00:14:44.116 --> 00:14:47.256 an ARC-approved plan in our backyard, 269 00:14:47.916 --> 00:14:51.756 and we're now having to change it. So obviously, we've put 270 00:14:51.796 --> 00:14:55.376 expenses in, and now we're going to have to spend more money. 271 00:14:55.436 --> 00:14:59.336 In the air of cooperation, we said we will do whatever you want us to do, 272 00:14:59.376 --> 00:15:03.256 and we will return it. The problem is the swale is basically a great 273 00:15:03.336 --> 00:15:05.476 big seven-foot wide gutter along that wall. 274 00:15:06.416 --> 00:15:09.276 It's not going to do any good to clean out the middle of the gutter, and anybody 275 00:15:09.296 --> 00:15:13.276 else that has done something in that swale should have to fix it back to normal 276 00:15:13.376 --> 00:15:17.185 also, because you're basically cleaning out one section of the 277 00:15:17.236 --> 00:15:20.856 gutter, and both of my neighbors have improvements in the swale. 278 00:15:21.376 --> 00:15:25.076 And if you go down the wall, there's 14 properties down to the next 279 00:15:25.116 --> 00:15:28.696 lake. About half of them have stuff in the swale. 280 00:15:28.916 --> 00:15:32.666 Again, I will do cooperation, whatever you want me to do, 281 00:15:33.316 --> 00:15:36.516 but you've got to enforce these rules all the way across the board. 282 00:15:36.916 --> 00:15:36.986 Mm-hmm. 283 00:15:36.996 --> 00:15:37.936 You can't just pick me. 284 00:15:39.436 --> 00:15:42.536 It just doesn't seem fair. But I will do what I said I will do. 285 00:15:43.116 --> 00:15:43.456 Thank you. 286 00:15:44.076 --> 00:15:44.496 Thank you. 287 00:15:47.076 --> 00:15:48.336 Any other comments from the board? 288 00:15:50.496 --> 00:15:51.836 That was an interesting point. 289 00:15:56.056 --> 00:15:59.796 Again, you are not requiring them to 290 00:16:00.236 --> 00:16:04.086 put the swale back as part of a deed compliance process or as 291 00:16:04.136 --> 00:16:07.766 part of anything other than a condition for you to consider 292 00:16:07.876 --> 00:16:08.745 waiving the fines. 293 00:16:09.576 --> 00:16:13.536 You determined that you did not want to have somebody go out 294 00:16:13.556 --> 00:16:17.456 and do another study to determine if it was, how much it 295 00:16:17.516 --> 00:16:21.456 was impacted. That was something you elected not to move forward with, and if 296 00:16:21.516 --> 00:16:25.436 the property owners wanted to enforce it on each other, then they certainly 297 00:16:25.496 --> 00:16:29.256 could. And then the matter was closed as far as the District 12 board was 298 00:16:29.296 --> 00:16:32.606 concerned until you got a request to waive the fines. 299 00:16:33.276 --> 00:16:35.896 As part of that consideration, Mr. 300 00:16:36.155 --> 00:16:39.916 Briones indicated that they said they were willing to bring the property 301 00:16:39.936 --> 00:16:43.476 back, the swale back into compliance, and that's something that you could require 302 00:16:43.516 --> 00:16:45.916 them to do as a condition to waive the fines. 303 00:16:46.876 --> 00:16:50.736 But if they had not requested to waive the fines, then per the 304 00:16:50.776 --> 00:16:54.096 board's direction, we would continue telling the neighbors that this is a civil 305 00:16:54.176 --> 00:16:58.016 issue between the two and not something that the District 12 board wanted to 306 00:16:58.036 --> 00:16:58.816 move forward with. 307 00:17:03.416 --> 00:17:05.237 I think I understood what you said. 308 00:17:08.856 --> 00:17:10.076 The swale is 309 00:17:10.916 --> 00:17:11.536 at the wall. 310 00:17:13.356 --> 00:17:16.056 It is our property or homeowner's property? 311 00:17:16.076 --> 00:17:16.936 Homeowner's property. 312 00:17:18.856 --> 00:17:21.456 So any changes from the original design 313 00:17:24.257 --> 00:17:25.477 would have an ARC. 314 00:17:26.076 --> 00:17:30.006 That's correct. But part of a condition with ARC is that you cannot 315 00:17:30.076 --> 00:17:32.056 negatively impact the drainage. 316 00:17:36.956 --> 00:17:38.706 That's per the deed restrictions. 317 00:17:38.756 --> 00:17:42.136 If you read the deed restrictions, no modification can negatively impact the 318 00:17:42.216 --> 00:17:46.076 drainage, which is why you went and had the CFB go 319 00:17:46.216 --> 00:17:48.786 out, and they provided the report that they did. 320 00:17:49.036 --> 00:17:49.576 Mm-hmm. 321 00:17:49.586 --> 00:17:53.536 Now, in order for them to fully be able to determine, you are going to have to do 322 00:17:53.546 --> 00:17:57.496 a much deeper dive into it, a more extensive study 323 00:17:57.556 --> 00:18:01.266 of it, and this board elected not to move forward with that, and that 324 00:18:01.336 --> 00:18:04.796 if, because there was no impact to district 325 00:18:04.806 --> 00:18:08.696 property, if the homeowners wanted to move forward with taking any 326 00:18:08.736 --> 00:18:11.956 type of action amongst themselves, they certainly could. 327 00:18:11.976 --> 00:18:15.916 But the board decided that it was not a district issue that you wanted 328 00:18:15.976 --> 00:18:16.956 to move forward with. 329 00:18:18.336 --> 00:18:22.016 But it would be a district issue if drainage was impacted. 330 00:18:24.516 --> 00:18:28.036 I guess I'll look past you with that question. 331 00:18:28.416 --> 00:18:32.076 If it negatively impacts district property or improvements of the 332 00:18:32.096 --> 00:18:35.796 district, then you may want to take some action, and that's what we said from the 333 00:18:35.856 --> 00:18:39.816 very beginning. Since there was no proof in the report that we received, it 334 00:18:39.856 --> 00:18:40.796 was sort of vague. 335 00:18:42.796 --> 00:18:46.746 We were tasked with either deciding whether we were going 336 00:18:46.756 --> 00:18:49.876 to order another report, which was going to cost 15000, I think, to 337 00:18:50.096 --> 00:18:50.906 20000. 338 00:18:50.906 --> 00:18:50.906 20. 339 00:18:50.976 --> 00:18:51.796 Yeah. 340 00:18:51.916 --> 00:18:55.876 Or whether we just wanted to let the property owners deal with it civilly 341 00:18:55.916 --> 00:18:59.416 because we had no real evidence that it was negatively 342 00:18:59.456 --> 00:19:02.905 impacting our stormwater system or anything like that, aside from 343 00:19:03.456 --> 00:19:07.356 some, I think, erosion by a stormwater pond that, again, in the report said 344 00:19:07.376 --> 00:19:09.156 it could've been caused by something else. 345 00:19:09.676 --> 00:19:13.496 So we had no real evidence that what they've done to the property has 346 00:19:13.556 --> 00:19:16.636 negatively impacted our property. 347 00:19:16.716 --> 00:19:20.156 So with that being the case, there's no 348 00:19:20.296 --> 00:19:24.116 reason to take legal action, and again, the board decided they would let them 349 00:19:24.156 --> 00:19:26.615 deal with it, as Ms. Duckett stated. 350 00:19:27.696 --> 00:19:29.116 However, the property owners 351 00:19:30.356 --> 00:19:34.096 at a meeting said they would do whatever they needed to do or whatever we wanted 352 00:19:34.136 --> 00:19:34.586 them to do, 353 00:19:35.896 --> 00:19:38.286 and wanted to address the fine situation. 354 00:19:38.316 --> 00:19:42.176 And the board said, "Okay. We're going to make you do it, but if 355 00:19:42.236 --> 00:19:45.106 you want to address the fine situation, then you need to bring it back into 356 00:19:45.136 --> 00:19:48.956 compliance, bring it back to its original design." And that's what the property 357 00:19:49.036 --> 00:19:52.936 owners have agreed to do. Based on the conversation we had 358 00:19:52.956 --> 00:19:56.236 with them, I'm confident that they intend on doing that. 359 00:19:57.496 --> 00:20:01.476 But again, this is just a matter of we're agreeing to waive fines because 360 00:20:01.546 --> 00:20:04.856 they're agreeing to bring the property back to its original design. 361 00:20:04.916 --> 00:20:06.396 If they decide they don't want to do that, 362 00:20:07.336 --> 00:20:10.386 despite the agreement we have, well, then the amount of money goes back up to where 363 00:20:10.386 --> 00:20:11.576 it was originally, which is, 364 00:20:12.556 --> 00:20:15.376 I can't remember what, but 12,000 maybe. 365 00:20:15.396 --> 00:20:18.536 Maybe more, I'm not sure. That would be what would be due. 366 00:20:18.596 --> 00:20:21.856 And then again, the matter would be a private issue between the neighbors. 367 00:20:24.496 --> 00:20:26.676 Any other comments from the board at this time? 368 00:20:29.996 --> 00:20:31.956 All in favor of approval? 369 00:20:33.535 --> 00:20:33.755 Aye. 370 00:20:33.836 --> 00:20:35.315 Aye. 371 00:20:36.256 --> 00:20:36.696 Thank you. 372 00:20:40.016 --> 00:20:42.516 I have a question. I have a question. I'm Debbie Gannon. 373 00:20:42.536 --> 00:20:45.856 I'm one of the homeowners of 4540 Proma Way, 374 00:20:46.536 --> 00:20:50.516 and I would like for someone, anyone, to explain to 375 00:20:50.616 --> 00:20:54.596 me, because our yard is the same as it has 376 00:20:54.656 --> 00:20:58.396 been since we put in our ARC application 377 00:20:58.536 --> 00:21:02.256 and approval since September 378 00:21:02.456 --> 00:21:06.436 24th, 2025. We're now approved. I 379 00:21:06.476 --> 00:21:10.376 don't know what changed to have us in compliance with 380 00:21:10.436 --> 00:21:13.635 that September 24th ARC application. 381 00:21:13.956 --> 00:21:17.586 The yard's the same except for the perennial peanuts across the back that Ed 382 00:21:17.656 --> 00:21:18.936 advised us to put in. 383 00:21:20.076 --> 00:21:23.596 What changed? Why did we keep getting fined this whole 384 00:21:23.776 --> 00:21:27.556 time? Our yard is the same as it's been since September 385 00:21:27.716 --> 00:21:31.696 24th, 2025. Where did these fines come 386 00:21:31.716 --> 00:21:35.376 from? We didn't even get a notice until December that we were being fined. 387 00:21:35.416 --> 00:21:38.816 We thought we were fine, and then the fines have 388 00:21:38.876 --> 00:21:42.036 continued. Can anybody here tell me? I've sent emails. 389 00:21:42.456 --> 00:21:46.256 All I've gotten is an address to where to send the payment for the fine. 390 00:21:47.036 --> 00:21:49.096 No one has explained this to us. 391 00:21:51.656 --> 00:21:55.536 As far as fines are concerned, I don't know necessarily that that was brought up 392 00:21:55.576 --> 00:21:58.736 for full discussion during our meeting. The board has already moved on. 393 00:21:58.916 --> 00:22:00.656 You've already voted on the settlement. 394 00:22:01.356 --> 00:22:04.496 Certainly, she can reach out to Community Standards if she wants to get 395 00:22:04.536 --> 00:22:07.066 information. But the board doesn't have the information on the fines. 396 00:22:07.496 --> 00:22:09.016 That's something that Community Standards would have. 397 00:22:09.076 --> 00:22:09.996 But at this point, again, 398 00:22:10.896 --> 00:22:12.605 you voted on this. We have an agreement. 399 00:22:12.676 --> 00:22:16.376 As far as I'm concerned, we're done with this issue and should probably 400 00:22:16.416 --> 00:22:18.076 proceed with the rest of the agenda. 401 00:22:19.276 --> 00:22:23.156 So my comment is to you, you need to get with Community Standards and talk to them. 402 00:22:23.896 --> 00:22:25.256 I've asked for a name for that. 403 00:22:26.325 --> 00:22:27.556 You've already emailed them. 404 00:22:27.816 --> 00:22:30.936 And I've sent you several emails. All you did was send me an address where I could 405 00:22:31.016 --> 00:22:31.676 send a payment. 406 00:22:36.116 --> 00:22:39.556 So we don't have your file in front of us, so this isn't something we can answer 407 00:22:39.596 --> 00:22:40.336 the question right now. 408 00:22:40.376 --> 00:22:42.336 Well, he knows I sent an email about that, so it's okay. 409 00:22:42.355 --> 00:22:46.026 And for you about the bucket, that was to stop the dirt from D. 410 00:22:46.175 --> 00:22:49.896 Ferdinando's when he was piling dirt on each side of his yard. 411 00:22:49.936 --> 00:22:52.366 That's what the bucket was for, to stop it from stopping up the 412 00:22:53.276 --> 00:22:54.716 drain. That's all that was for. 413 00:22:54.796 --> 00:22:56.736 Can we ask Carrie to move with us? 414 00:22:56.796 --> 00:22:57.876 No, we need to move on. 415 00:22:59.736 --> 00:23:01.176 We need to move on already. 416 00:23:01.236 --> 00:23:02.056 This has passed already. 417 00:23:02.076 --> 00:23:03.076 They've had opportunities. 418 00:23:03.836 --> 00:23:05.656 You can discuss this after the meetings. 419 00:23:07.836 --> 00:23:08.066 After the meeting. 420 00:23:08.066 --> 00:23:09.436 After the meeting you can discuss this. 421 00:23:09.526 --> 00:23:11.936 At our time, we need to continue with our agenda. 422 00:23:14.056 --> 00:23:16.856 At this time, next up is our revision for the 423 00:23:17.796 --> 00:23:18.276 ARC. 424 00:23:18.896 --> 00:23:22.376 Yes sir, this is only on your agenda as a speaking point. 425 00:23:22.416 --> 00:23:26.286 If you had any questions to the proposed revisions, we're happy to answer them, or 426 00:23:26.356 --> 00:23:29.516 if there was anything that you would like to discuss with staff about the proposed 427 00:23:29.576 --> 00:23:33.416 revisions, but this will be on your agenda next month in a public 428 00:23:33.456 --> 00:23:33.756 hearing. 429 00:23:35.236 --> 00:23:36.276 Any comments from the board? 430 00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:37.576 No. 431 00:23:38.296 --> 00:23:38.636 Thank you. 432 00:23:40.676 --> 00:23:43.716 Next, moving on, information.

I don't remember this discussion. 470 00:25:22.304 --> 00:25:25.964 But evidently there are several people who are seriously interested in 471 00:25:26.004 --> 00:25:28.624 potentially registering golf carts. 472 00:25:29.464 --> 00:25:29.724 Yes. 473 00:25:31.004 --> 00:25:31.144 So- 474 00:25:31.224 --> 00:25:31.324 Yeah 475 00:25:31.524 --> 00:25:35.274 ... if it's something that this board or any- 476 00:25:35.324 --> 00:25:35.374 Thank you 477 00:25:35.374 --> 00:25:36.204 ... of the members of the board, 478 00:25:37.804 --> 00:25:41.794 this is the first I've heard of it, but it obviously will get discussed in the very 479 00:25:41.864 --> 00:25:45.384 near future at PWAC.

I've got some initial thoughts, 481 00:25:49.704 --> 00:25:53.464 but I'll have more time to think about it. 482 00:25:54.004 --> 00:25:55.204 When you say registering. 483 00:25:55.944 --> 00:25:59.364 They're talking about, it came up because of damage. 484 00:25:59.964 --> 00:26:03.474 There were people complaining that we're not doing a good job of 485 00:26:03.524 --> 00:26:06.464 collecting the damage to gates that are getting 486 00:26:07.204 --> 00:26:09.984 knocked down.

And things that 567 00:29:43.304 --> 00:29:47.264 are done with the money in the PWAC budget, 568 00:29:47.624 --> 00:29:51.584 I suspect that some things extraneous to the 569 00:29:51.624 --> 00:29:53.364 budget come up this year. 570 00:29:54.684 --> 00:29:58.414 That comes out of the 571 00:29:58.504 --> 00:29:59.204 general fund. 572 00:30:02.444 --> 00:30:03.344 Simple majority. 573 00:30:07.104 --> 00:30:10.904 So PWAC is responsible for two different funds. 574 00:30:11.024 --> 00:30:11.124 Yep. 575 00:30:11.524 --> 00:30:15.064 They're responsible, and when you were on it, they were only responsible for one. 576 00:30:15.164 --> 00:30:17.264 The first is the project-wide fund. 577 00:30:17.524 --> 00:30:17.824 Yep. 578 00:30:17.864 --> 00:30:21.504 And that is to maintain all of the infrastructure and the 579 00:30:21.564 --> 00:30:25.133 landscaping and the multimodal paths in districts 580 00:30:25.244 --> 00:30:28.684 five through 13 in the Brownwood and Lake Sumter 581 00:30:28.764 --> 00:30:29.264 areas. 582 00:30:29.324 --> 00:30:29.964 Right. 583 00:30:30.004 --> 00:30:33.804 The second fund that they're responsible for is the SLAD fund or the 584 00:30:33.844 --> 00:30:37.416 amenity fund.That second hat that they wear 585 00:30:37.736 --> 00:30:40.496 is not funded through any of the residential districts. 586 00:30:40.916 --> 00:30:44.866 It functions like an amenity authority committee, in which they are making policy 587 00:30:44.866 --> 00:30:48.666 decisions, and they're making capital decisions on all of the recreation 588 00:30:48.736 --> 00:30:51.536 facilities in that same geographical area. 589 00:30:52.316 --> 00:30:55.936 So, the intent of PWAC was on 590 00:30:55.996 --> 00:30:57.576 the project-wide fund. 591 00:30:58.576 --> 00:31:02.136 Mr. Martin, or whoever is your project-wide representative, would be 592 00:31:02.216 --> 00:31:05.916 representing this board, and he would be taking this board's best interest into the 593 00:31:05.996 --> 00:31:07.036 project-wide fund. 594 00:31:07.075 --> 00:31:07.156 Yep. 595 00:31:07.736 --> 00:31:11.556 When he's looking at it from a SLAD perspective, or amenities, he's not 596 00:31:11.596 --> 00:31:14.795 representing this board. And he is there just like an AAC 597 00:31:14.886 --> 00:31:18.496 member, where he is representing all of the residents within the 598 00:31:18.536 --> 00:31:22.366 entire area and making a decision based on the amenities of 599 00:31:22.396 --> 00:31:26.176 what's not best for District 12, but what's best for all the 600 00:31:26.216 --> 00:31:28.796 residents serving in that or living in that general area. 601 00:31:30.436 --> 00:31:33.036 That was the piece of PWAC that was added later. 602 00:31:33.116 --> 00:31:36.196 That wasn't initially a responsibility of PWAC. 603 00:31:36.636 --> 00:31:39.636 That was added after Sumter Landing purchased the amenity 604 00:31:39.996 --> 00:31:42.716 facilities south of 466. 605 00:31:46.876 --> 00:31:48.635 I'll come back with more questions later. 606 00:31:49.696 --> 00:31:51.256 Thank you for that clarification. 607 00:31:51.296 --> 00:31:55.276 Well, and just for the record, the budget for that SLAD portion this morning 608 00:31:55.316 --> 00:31:57.136 was $156 million. 609 00:31:57.196 --> 00:31:57.316 Yep. 610 00:31:57.916 --> 00:32:01.795 The budget for the PWAC part of it was $32 million. 611 00:32:02.576 --> 00:32:02.936 So- 612 00:32:03.326 --> 00:32:03.326 Yep 613 00:32:03.326 --> 00:32:05.346 ... there is quite a difference. 614 00:32:07.216 --> 00:32:07.776 Yeah. 615 00:32:07.836 --> 00:32:08.216 Yep. 616 00:32:08.246 --> 00:32:12.176 And I guess I was mostly thinking about the 617 00:32:12.186 --> 00:32:16.086 $136 million, and I guess I missed the 618 00:32:16.116 --> 00:32:19.456 distinction between the two. I appreciate that information. 619 00:32:19.696 --> 00:32:20.256 Yes, sir. 620 00:32:20.336 --> 00:32:24.016 And he represents 621 00:32:24.876 --> 00:32:25.796 everybody in 622 00:32:27.616 --> 00:32:28.056 the arena- 623 00:32:28.416 --> 00:32:29.776 Collectively 624 00:32:29.816 --> 00:32:30.146 ... not just District 12. 625 00:32:30.176 --> 00:32:32.996 That's right. Collectively, when you're looking at it from the amenities 626 00:32:33.036 --> 00:32:36.896 standpoint, because there's reciprocal uses, it doesn't matter what district you 627 00:32:36.936 --> 00:32:40.816 live in, you can access... In fact, you can go up north and access the first 628 00:32:40.856 --> 00:32:44.826 responders on 42. So, just like AAC, where, yes, they 629 00:32:44.876 --> 00:32:48.696 are elected or appointed by one for each district, 630 00:32:49.366 --> 00:32:53.316 they are representing all of the residents and the recreation 631 00:32:53.396 --> 00:32:56.296 facilities in that whole entire service area. 632 00:32:58.516 --> 00:33:02.256 So, that's why he would not, and nor would the others, they would 633 00:33:02.296 --> 00:33:05.966 not come and he would not ask for this board's input on a 634 00:33:06.056 --> 00:33:09.776 SLAD decision, because it doesn't have anything to do with your role as a 635 00:33:09.816 --> 00:33:13.656 District 12 supervisor. When it comes to the project-wide fund, he 636 00:33:13.716 --> 00:33:17.666 would. He would come and say, for example, "Project-wide is looking at installing 637 00:33:18.396 --> 00:33:21.176 reflective pavement markers or the raised pavement markers on all the multi-middle 638 00:33:21.276 --> 00:33:23.356 paths. District 12, what do we think about our paths? 639 00:33:23.416 --> 00:33:25.156 Is that something you want me to support? 640 00:33:25.176 --> 00:33:28.746 Do we not support it?" That's something, because it is your District 641 00:33:28.796 --> 00:33:30.296 12-owned infrastructure, 642 00:33:31.116 --> 00:33:34.796 that he would come back and say, "What is the pleasure of the board? 643 00:33:34.936 --> 00:33:36.716 Do you think that we should support this? 644 00:33:36.756 --> 00:33:40.296 Do you think we should not?" But when it comes to 645 00:33:40.376 --> 00:33:44.236 recreation renovations or golf course renovations, that doesn't fall 646 00:33:44.376 --> 00:33:48.296 under the purview of this board, so he is there representing all 647 00:33:48.356 --> 00:33:50.476 of the residents just like the District 5 648 00:33:51.476 --> 00:33:55.036 representative, just like the District 12 representative, 13, all 649 00:33:55.496 --> 00:33:55.796 of them. 650 00:33:57.496 --> 00:33:57.776 Thank you. 651 00:33:58.316 --> 00:34:01.276 But, and again, one more thing before we get ended. 652 00:34:02.016 --> 00:34:04.416 I try to bring it up here to discuss- 653 00:34:04.556 --> 00:34:05.246 Yeah. I know you do 654 00:34:05.246 --> 00:34:06.436 ... but because of this 655 00:34:08.156 --> 00:34:11.937 Mark will take offense to this. The silly sunshine law that we have in 656 00:34:11.996 --> 00:34:15.476 this state where we can't discuss something 657 00:34:15.836 --> 00:34:19.276 without getting thrown in jail is 658 00:34:19.976 --> 00:34:20.476 crazy, 659 00:34:21.316 --> 00:34:22.756 in my opinion. I mean, we- 660 00:34:23.377 --> 00:34:23.546 I agree with that 661 00:34:23.546 --> 00:34:27.516 ... it doesn't mean you have to be able to go behind the scenes and conjure 662 00:34:27.596 --> 00:34:31.576 something up, but you need to be able to discuss things to 663 00:34:31.636 --> 00:34:34.127 know... I want to know what you people think about this 664 00:34:35.056 --> 00:34:37.366 just as well as what I think about it. 665 00:34:39.596 --> 00:34:41.785 And just to ask one additional question, 666 00:34:43.156 --> 00:34:46.446 registering golf carts would not be part of infrastructure? 667 00:34:47.336 --> 00:34:51.066 That's correct. I will tell you, from my recollection when this was 668 00:34:51.096 --> 00:34:54.516 discussed previously, it was determined that we 669 00:34:54.596 --> 00:34:57.746 could not require golf cart registration- 670 00:34:57.776 --> 00:34:57.806 Okay 671 00:34:57.806 --> 00:35:01.476 ... that it was not something that Chapter 190 allowed special districts to 672 00:35:01.516 --> 00:35:05.376 require. But yet, we could enact a voluntary 673 00:35:05.396 --> 00:35:09.276 program, and the discussion back then was, all the 674 00:35:09.316 --> 00:35:11.856 people running through the gates on the golf carts really going to come and 675 00:35:11.896 --> 00:35:14.536 register their golf carts? Probably not. 676 00:35:14.576 --> 00:35:18.316 And so, therefore, it was going to be a huge undertaking with not as much 677 00:35:18.476 --> 00:35:18.896 benefit. 678 00:35:19.256 --> 00:35:19.346 Mm-hmm. 679 00:35:19.636 --> 00:35:23.536 But certainly, if Mr. Stone said that maybe there was more to it, I 680 00:35:23.556 --> 00:35:24.686 don't believe he was 681 00:35:25.496 --> 00:35:27.016 district counsel at that time. 682 00:35:27.036 --> 00:35:27.396 No, he was not. 683 00:35:27.416 --> 00:35:30.436 So, this may be something worth him looking into again. 684 00:35:30.496 --> 00:35:34.316 But if I recall, it was you could ask for a voluntary 685 00:35:34.436 --> 00:35:37.936 program, but Chapter 190 did not allow us to require it. 686 00:35:38.116 --> 00:35:40.236 Yeah, that's what I recall also, 687 00:35:41.696 --> 00:35:41.996 which- 688 00:35:43.696 --> 00:35:44.386 Any other comments? 689 00:35:44.386 --> 00:35:45.976 And we can't talk about it. 690 00:35:49.406 --> 00:35:50.836 Any other comments from the board? 691 00:35:51.456 --> 00:35:51.466 No. 692 00:35:51.476 --> 00:35:52.746 Do I have a motion to adjourn? 693 00:35:52.816 --> 00:35:53.516 So moved. 694 00:35:53.716 --> 00:35:54.516 Do I have a second? 695 00:35:55.116 --> 00:35:55.596 Second. 696 00:35:55.696 --> 00:35:56.336 All in favor? 697 00:35:56.836 --> 00:35:57.356 Aye. 698 00:35:57.896 --> 00:35:59.396 Meeting adjourned. Thank you. 699 00:35:59.476 --> 00:35:59.546 Thank you
