FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Review and Acceptance of Fiscal Year
2025 Audit Report
Mr. Edwards stated this item involves reviewing and accepting the Fiscal Year 2025 Audit Report. An annual independent audit was conducted for the CDD by Grau & Associates, as required for government entities. The attached Audit Report included a management section at the end, specifically on pages 43 and 44 of the agenda. There were no current or prior year findings or recommendations, and the CDD complied with all provisions required by the Auditor General. The Audit was described as clean, with no issues noted.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution	2026-01
Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Setting a Public Hearing
Mr. Flint explained Resolution 2026-01 involves the approval of the proposed budget and scheduling of the public hearing for its final adoption. Each year, the Board is required to approve an initial proposed budget as the first step in the budget process. This proposed budget is not binding on the District and is attached as Exhibit A. The Board also sets the date, place, and time for the public hearing where the budget will be officially adopted.
Mr. Flint noted that administrative expenses in the proposed budget have generally remained stable, with only a minor inflationary increase of $200 for management fee-related line items. For operations and maintenance, there is an increase due to the District projecting to take on additional areas for maintenance. Pricing for these new maintenance areas has been coordinated with relevant personnel. The only other sizable increase was for electric as they’re going to be transitioning to a two-wire system. That should cover all the meters that they have on the CDD side. The per unit assessment amounts are not impacted by the adjustments. He noted they would have another opportunity at the hearing on July 8th at 10:30 am.
A Board member stated he assumed the real estate taxes are outside of this budget. Mr. Flint explains that, as a governmental entity, they generally do not pay property taxes. The only exception occurs during property conveyance, when an exemption cannot be filed by the deadline resulting in a small property tax. The budget includes a small amount ($2,500) for such cases, but typically, these taxes are not paid. The situation may depend on information from landowners, and it can be reviewed again before final decisions are made.
April 8, 2026	Golden Gem CDD

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Ratification of Series 2024 Requisitions
#56 – #57
Mr. Flint reviewed two requisitions related to the 2024 bond series, both submitted by Kimley-Horn. Requisition #56 covers eligible construction costs to be paid from the bond funds, and Requisition #57 is also for Kimley-Horn. The Board is in the process of ratifying these requisitions and has asked if there are any questions about them.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Ms. Wilson stated the District is collaborating with developers, landowners, and the Counsel regarding easement issues to allow access to District property. The Chair has the authority to sign these easements between Board meetings, and they are expected to be ratified at the July meeting.

projects, as well as the statements of revenue and expenditures for each fund. Also included is a month to month for the general fund showing the revenue and expenses, the long-term debt report, and the status of the direct assessments.
Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Wright presented the Field Manager’s report. He noted that contracts for landscape maintenance and discing have been finalized and initial services have already started. As April begins, landscape maintenance is shifting to weekly service with crews now on site each week. The newly installed facade is establishing well and is improving, helped by recent rainfall. Staff continue to monitor and replace plants impacted by the freeze, and overall the landscape is in good condition. Some trees may appear dead, but testing confirmed they are still alive and will bloom again after some time.
Mr. Wright stated that Kelly Park Road entrance is almost complete so that section has been built out and is now drivable for the moment. The team is moving forward with additional tracks as notified and is preparing maps to finalize scopes for contract amendments when those tracks are ready for turnover. Robbie, the junior Field Manager, is assisting with daily site operations and may be seen on site, providing extra oversight. Discussions included the installation of fencing around stormwater ponds: two smaller ponds will receive decorative aluminum fencing due to permit and safety requirements (especially for steep slopes), while the larger pond will have a field fence to keep livestock out. Access points for equipment will be included. Any new fencing will be added to the property’s insurance schedule, with further details to be sorted when ready.

RESOLUTION 2026-03
[FY 2027 ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION]

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE GOLDEN GEM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR FUNDING FOR THE FY 2027 ADOPTED BUDGET(S); PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PENALTIES AND INTEREST THEREON; CERTIFYING AN ASSESSMENT ROLL; PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, the Golden Gem Community Development District (“District”) is a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, for the purpose of providing, operating and maintaining infrastructure improvements, facilities and services to the lands within the District, located in Orange County, Florida (“County”); and

WHEREAS, the District has constructed or acquired various infrastructure improvements and provides certain services in accordance with the District’s adopted capital improvement plan and Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027 (“FY 2027”), the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the District has determined to undertake various operations and maintenance and other activities described in the District’s budget (“Adopted Budget”), attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, the District may fund the Adopted Budget through the levy and imposition of special assessments on benefitted lands within the District and, regardless of the imposition method utilized by the District, under Florida law the District may collect such assessments by direct bill, tax roll, or in accordance with other collection measures provided by law; and

WHEREAS, in order to fund the District’s Adopted Budget, the District’s Board now desires to adopt this Resolution setting forth the means by which the District intends to fund its Adopted Budget.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE GOLDEN GEM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT:

FUNDING. The District’s Board hereby authorizes the funding mechanisms for the Adopted Budget as provided further herein and as indicated in the Adopted Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A and the assessment roll attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Assessment Roll”).

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS.

Benefit Findings. The provision of the services, facilities, and operations as described in Exhibit A confers a special and peculiar benefit to the lands within the District, which benefit exceeds or equals the cost of the assessments. The allocation of the assessments to the specially benefitted lands is shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B and is hereby found to be fair and reasonable.
O&M Assessment Imposition. Pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, a special assessment for operations and maintenance (“O&M Assessment(s)”) is hereby levied and imposed on benefitted lands within the District and in accordance with Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The lien of the O&M Assessments imposed and levied by this Resolution shall be effective upon passage of this Resolution.

Maximum Rate. Pursuant to Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, the lien amount shall serve as the “maximum rate” authorized by law for operation and maintenance assessments.

DEBT SERVICE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The District’s Board hereby certifies for collection the FY 2027 installment of the District’s previously levied debt service special assessments (“Debt Assessments,” and together with the O&M Assessments, the “Assessments”) in accordance with this Resolution and as further set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, and hereby directs District staff to affect the collection of the same.

COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT; PENALTIES; INTEREST. Pursuant to Chapter 190,
Florida Statutes, the District is authorized to collect and enforce the Assessments as set forth below.

Tax Roll Assessments. To the extent indicated in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, those certain O&M Assessments (if any) and/or Debt Assessments (if any) imposed on the “Tax Roll Property” identified in Exhibit B shall be collected by the County Tax Collector at the same time and in the same manner as County property taxes in accordance with Chapter 197, Florida Statutes (“Uniform Method”). That portion of the Assessment Roll which includes the Tax Roll Property is hereby certified to the County Tax Collector and shall be collected by the County Tax Collector in the same manner and time as County property taxes. The District’s Board finds and determines that such collection method is an efficient method of collection for the Tax Roll Property.

Direct Bill Assessments. To the extent indicated in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, those certain O&M Assessments (if any) and/or Debt Assessments (if any) imposed on “Direct Collect Property” identified in Exhibit B shall be collected directly by the District in accordance with Florida law, as set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The District’s Board finds and determines that such collection method is an efficient method of collection for the Direct Collect Property.

Due Date (O&M Assessments). O&M Assessments directly collected by the District shall be due and payable in full on December 1, 2026; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by law, the O&M Assessments due may be paid in several partial, deferred payments and according to the following schedule: 50% due no later than November 1, 2026, 25% due no later than February 1, 2027 and 25% due no later than
May 1, 2027.
Due Date (Debt Assessments). Debt Assessments directly collected by the District shall be due and payable in full on December 1, 2026; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by law, the Debt Assessments due may be paid in several partial, deferred payments and according to the following schedule: 50% due no later than March 1, 2027, and 50% due
no later than September 1, 2027.

In the event that an Assessment payment is not made in accordance with the schedule(s) stated above, the whole of such Assessment, including any remaining partial, deferred payments for the Fiscal Year: shall immediately become due and payable; shall accrue interest, penalties in the amount of one percent (1%) per month, and all costs of collection and enforcement; and shall either be enforced pursuant to a foreclosure action, or, at the District’s sole discretion, collected pursuant to the Uniform Method on a future tax bill, which amount may include penalties, interest, and costs of collection and enforcement. Any prejudgment interest on delinquent Assessments shall accrue at the rate of any bonds secured by the Assessments, or at the statutory prejudgment interest rate, as applicable. In the event an Assessment subject to direct collection by the District shall be delinquent, the District Manager and District Counsel, without further authorization by the Board, may initiate foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Chapter 170, Florida Statutes, or other applicable law to collect and enforce the whole Assessment, as set forth herein.

Future Collection Methods. The District’s decision to collect Assessments by any particular method – e.g., on the tax roll or by direct bill – does not mean that such method will be used to collect special assessments in future years, and the District reserves the right in its sole discretion to select collection methods in any given year, regardless of past practices.

ASSESSMENT ROLL; AMENDMENTS. The Assessment Roll, attached hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby certified for collection. The Assessment Roll shall be collected pursuant to the collection methods provided above. The proceeds therefrom shall be paid to the District. The District Manager shall keep apprised of all updates made to the County property roll by the Property Appraiser after the date of this Resolution and shall amend the Assessment Roll in accordance with any such updates, for such time as authorized by Florida law, to the County property roll.

APPROVAL OF PRIOR ACTIONS. The actions of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries, and all District Staff in finalizing the Assessments and Assessment Roll as provided herein are hereby ratified, approved, and confirmed in all respects.

SEVERABILITY; EFFECTIVE DATE. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Resolution shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Resolution, or any part thereof. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

A proxy is available upon request. To be valid, each proxy must be signed by one of the legal owners of the property for which the vote is cast and must contain the typed or printed name of the individual who signed the proxy; the street address, legal description of the property or tax parcel identification number; and the number of authorized votes.

Rule 1.0	General.

The Golden Gem Community Development District (the “District”) was created pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, and was established to provide for the ownership, operation, maintenance, and provision of various capital facilities and services within its jurisdiction. The purpose of these rules (the “Rules”) is to describe the general operations of the District.

Definitions located within any section of these Rules shall be applicable within all other sections, unless specifically stated to the contrary.
Unless specifically permitted by a written agreement with the District, the District does not accept documents filed by electronic maile-mail or facsimile transmission. Filings are only accepted during normal business hours.

A Rule of the District shall be effective upon adoption by affirmative vote of the District Board. After a Rule becomes effective, it may be repealed or amended only	through	the	rulemaking	procedures	specified	in	these	Rules. Notwithstanding, the District may immediately suspend the application of a Rule if the District determines that the Rule conflicts with Florida law. In the event that a Rule conflicts with Florida law and its application has not been suspended by the District, such Rule should be interpreted in the manner that best effectuates the intent of the Rule while also complying with Florida law. If the intent of the Rule absolutely cannot be effectuated while complying with Florida law, the Rule shall be automatically suspended.

Rule 1.1	Board of Supervisors; Officers and Voting.

Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors of the District (the “Board”) shall consist of five (5) members. Members of the Board (“Supervisors”) appointed by ordinance or rule or elected by landowners must be citizens of the United States of America and residents of the State of Florida. Supervisors elected or appointed by the Board to elector seats must be citizens of the United States of America, residents of the State of Florida and of the District and registered to vote with the Supervisor of Elections of the county in which the District is located and for those elected, shall also be qualified to run by the Supervisor of Elections. The Board shall exercise the powers granted to the District under Florida law.

Supervisors shall hold office for the term specified by Section 190.006 of the Florida Statutes. If, during the term of office, any Board member(s) vacates their office, the remaining member(s) of the Board shall fill the vacancies by appointment for the remainder of the term(s). If three or more vacancies exist at the same time, a quorum, as defined herein, shall not be required to appoint replacement Board members.

Three (3) members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of conducting business, exercising powers and all other purposes. A Board member shall be counted toward the quorum if physically present at the meeting, regardless of whether such Board member is prohibited from, or abstains from, participating in discussion or voting on a particular item.

Action taken by the Board shall be upon a majority vote of the members present, unless otherwise provided in the Rules or required by law. Subject to Rule 1.3(10), a Board member participating in the Board meeting by teleconference or videoconference shall be entitled to vote and take all other action as though physically present.

Unless otherwise provided for by an act of the Board, any one Board member may attend a mediation session on behalf of the Board. Any agreement resulting from such mediation session must be approved pursuant to subsection (1)(c) of this Rule.

Officers. At the first Board meeting held after each election where the newly elected members take office, the Board shall select a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, and Treasurer.

The Chairperson must be a member of the Board. If the Chairperson resigns from that office or ceases to be a member of the Board, the Board shall select a Chairperson. The Chairperson serves at the pleasure of the Board. The Chairperson shall be authorized to execute resolutions and contracts on the District’s behalf. The Chairperson shall convene and
conduct all meetings of the Board. In the event the Chairperson is unable to attend a meeting, the Vice-Chairperson shall convene and conduct the meeting. The Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson may delegate the responsibility of conducting the meeting to the District’s manager (“District Manager”) or District Counsel, in whole or in part.

The Vice-Chairperson shall be a member of the Board and shall have such duties and responsibilities as specifically designated by the Board from time to time. The Vice-Chairperson has the authority to execute resolutions and contracts on the District’s behalf in the absence of the Chairperson. If the Vice-Chairperson resigns from office or ceases to be a member of the Board, the Board shall select a Vice-Chairperson. The Vice-Chairperson serves at the pleasure of the Board.

The Secretary of the Board serves at the pleasure of the Board and need not be a member of the Board. The Secretary shall be responsible for maintaining the minutes of Board meetings and may have other duties assigned by the Board from time to time. An employee of the District Manager may serve as Secretary. The Secretary shall be bonded by a reputable and qualified bonding company in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000), or have in place a fidelity bond, employee theft insurance policy, or a comparable product in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) that names the District as an additional insured.

The Treasurer need not be a member of the Board but must be a resident of the State of Florida. The Treasurer shall perform duties described in Section 190.007(2) and (3) of the Florida Statutes, as well as those assigned by the Board from time to time. The Treasurer shall serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Treasurer shall either be bonded by a reputable and qualified bonding company in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000), or have in place a fidelity bond, employee theft insurance policy, or a comparable product in at least the amount of one million dollars ($1,000,000) that names the District as an additional insured.

In the event that both the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are absent from a Board meeting and a quorum is present, the Board may designate one of its members or a member of District staff to convene and conduct the meeting. In such circumstances, any of the Board members present are authorized to execute agreements, resolutions, and other documents approved by the Board at such meeting. In the event that the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are both unavailable to execute a document previously approved by the Board, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary may execute such document.
The Board may assign additional duties to District officers from time to time, which include, but are not limited to, executing documents on behalf of the District.

The Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, and any other person authorized by District Resolution may sign checks and warrants for the District, countersigned by the Treasurer or other persons authorized by the Board.

Committees.	The Board may establish committees of the Board, either on a permanent or temporary basis, to perform specifically designated functions. Committees may include individuals who are not members of the Board. Such functions may include, but are not limited to, review of bids, proposals, and qualifications, contract negotiations, personnel matters, and budget preparation.

Record Book. The Board shall keep a permanent record book entitled “Record of Proceedings,” in which shall be recorded minutes of all meetings, resolutions, proceedings, certificates, and corporate acts. The Records of Proceedings shall be located at a District office and shall be available for inspection by the public.
Meetings. For each fiscal year, the Board shall establish a schedule of regular meetings, which shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation inwithin the county or counties in which the District is located and filed with the local general-purpose governments within whose boundaries the District is located. All meetings of the Board and Committeescommittees serving an advisory function shall be open to the public in accord with the provisions of Chapter 286 of the Florida Statutes.

Votes Required. No Board member who is present at any meeting of the District Board at which an official decision, ruling, or other official act is to be taken or adopted may abstain from voting in regard to any such decision, ruling, or act; and a vote shall be recorded or counted for each such Board member present, except when, with respect to any such member, there is, or appears to be, a possible conflict of interest under the provisions of s. 112.311, s. 112.313, or s. 112.3143 of the Florida Statutes.

Voting Conflict of Interest. The Board shall comply with Section 112.3143 of the Florida Statutes, so as to ensure the proper disclosure of conflicts of interest on matters coming before the Board for a vote. For the purposes of this section, "“voting conflict of interest"” shall be governed by the Florida Constitution and Chapters 112 and 190 of the Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time. Generally, a voting conflict exists when a Board member is called upon to vote on an item which would inure to the Board member’s special private gain or loss or the Board member knows would inure to the special private gain or loss of a principal by whom the Board member is retained, the parent organization or subsidiary of a corporate principal, a business associate, or a relative including
only a father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law.

When a Board member knows the member has a conflict of interest on a matter coming before the Board, the member should notify the Board’s Secretary prior to participating in any discussion with the Board on the matter. The member shall publicly announce the conflict of interest at the meeting. This announcement shall appear in the minutes.

If the Board member was elected at a landowner’s election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowner’s election, the Board member may vote or abstain from voting on the matter at issue. If the Board member was elected by electors residing within the District, the Board member is prohibited from voting on the matter at issue. In the event that the Board member intends to abstain or is prohibited from voting, such Board member shall not participate in the discussion on the item subject to the vote.

The Board’s Secretary shall prepare a Memorandum of Voting Conflict (Form 8B) which shall then be signed by the Board member, filed with the Board’s Secretary, and provided for attachment to the minutes of the meeting within fifteen (15) days of the meeting.

If a Board member inadvertently votes on a matter and later learns he or she has a conflict on the matter, the member shall immediately notify the Board’s Secretary. Within fifteen (15) days of the notification, the member shall file the appropriate Memorandum of Voting Conflict, which will be attached to the minutes of the Board meeting during which the vote on the matter occurred. The Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall immediately be provided to other Board members and shall be read publicly at the next meeting held subsequent to the filing of the Memorandum of Voting Conflict. The Board member’s vote is unaffected by this filing.

It is not a conflict of interest for a Board member, the District Manager, or an employee of the District to be a stockholder, officer or employee of a landowner or of an entity affiliated with a landowner.

In the event that a Board member elected at a landowner’s election or appointed to fill a vacancy of a seat last filled at a landowner’s election, has a continuing conflict of interest, such Board member is permitted to file a Memorandum of Voting Conflict at any time in which it shall state the nature of the continuing conflict. Only one such continuing Memorandum of Voting Conflict shall be required to be filed for each term the Board member is in office.

Rule 1.2	District Offices; Public Information and Inspection of Records; Policies; Service Contract Requirements; Financial Disclosure Coordination.

District Offices. Unless otherwise designated by the Board, the official District office shall be the District Manager’s office identified by the District Manager. If the District Manager’s office is not located within the county in which the District is located, the Board shall designate a local records office within such county which shall at a minimum contain, but not be limited to, the following documents:

Agenda packages for prior 24 months and next meeting;

Official minutes of meetings, including adopted resolutions of the Board;

Names and addresses of current Board members and District Manager, unless such addresses are protected from disclosure by law;
Adopted engineer’s reports;
Adopted assessment methodologies/reports;
Adopted disclosure of public financing;
Limited Offering Memorandum for each financing undertaken by the District;

Proceedings, certificates, bonds given by all employees, and any and all corporate acts;

District policies and rules;

Fiscal year end audits; and

Adopted budget for the current fiscal year.

The District Manager shall ensure that each District records office contains the documents required by Florida law.

Public Records. District public records include all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received in connection with the transaction of official business of the District. All District public records not otherwise restricted by law may be copied or inspected at the District Manager’s office during regular business hours. Certain District records can also be inspected and copied at the District’s local records office during regular business hours. All written public records requests shall be directed to the Secretary who by these
rules is appointed as the District’s records custodian. Regardless of the form of the request, any Board member or staff member who receives a public records request shall immediately forward or communicate such request to the Secretary for coordination of a prompt response. The Secretary, after consulting with District Counsel as to the applicability of any exceptions under the public records laws, shall be responsible for responding to the public records request. At no time can the District be required to create records or summaries of records, or prepare opinions regarding District policies, in response to a public records request.

Service Contracts. Any contract for services, regardless of cost, shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws. The District Manager shall be responsible for initially enforcing all contract provisions related to a contractor’s duty to comply with public records laws.

Fees; Copies. Copies of public records shall be made available to the requesting person at a charge of $0.15 per page for one-sided copies and $0.20 per page for two-sided copies if not more than 8 ½ by 14 inches. For copies of public records in excess of the sizes listed in this section and for outside duplication services, the charge shall be equal to the actual cost of reproduction. Certified copies of public records shall be made available at a charge of one dollar ($1.00) per page. If the nature or volume of records requested requires extensive use of information technology resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, the District may charge, in addition to the duplication charge, a special service charge that is based on the cost the District incurs to produce the records requested. This charge may include, but is not limited to, the cost of information technology resource, employee labor, and fees charged to the District by consultants employed in fulfilling the request. In cases where the special service charge is based in whole or in part on the costs incurred by the District due to employee labor, consultant fees, or other forms of labor, those portions of the charge shall be calculated based on the lowest labor cost of the individual(s) who is/are qualified to perform the labor, taking into account the nature or volume of the public records to be inspected or copied. The charge may include the labor costs of supervisory and/or clerical staff whose assistance is required to complete the records request, in accordance with Florida law. For purposes of this Rule, the word “extensive” shall mean that it will take more than 15 minutes to locate, review for confidential information, copy and re-file the requested material. In cases where extensive personnel time is determined by the District to be necessary to safeguard original records being inspected, the special service charge provided for in this section shall apply. If the total fees, including but not limited to special service charges, are anticipated to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00), then, prior to commencing work on the request, the District will inform the person making the public records request of the estimated cost, with the understanding that the final cost may vary from that estimate. If the person making the public records request decides to proceed with the request, payment of the estimated cost is required in advance. Should the person fail to pay the estimate, the District is under no duty to produce
the requested records. After the request has been fulfilled, additional payments or credits may be due. The District is under no duty to produce records in response to future records requests if the person making the request owes the District for past unpaid duplication charges, special service charges, or other required payments or credits.

Records Retention. The Secretary of the District shall be responsible for retaining the District’s records in accordance with applicable Florida law.

Policies. The Board may adopt policies related to the conduct of its business and the provision of services either by resolution or motion.

Financial Disclosure Coordination. Unless specifically designated by Board resolution otherwise, the Secretary shall serve as the Financial Disclosure Coordinator (“Coordinator”) for the District as required by the Florida Commission on Ethics (“Commission”). The Coordinator shall create, maintain and update a list of the names, e-mail addresses, physical addresses, and names of the agency of, and the office or position held by, all Supervisors and other persons required by Florida law to file a statement of financial interest due to his or her affiliation with the District (“Reporting Individual”). The Coordinator shall provide this list to the Commission by February 1 of each year, which list shall be current as of December 31 of the prior year. Each Supervisor and Reporting Individual shall promptly notify the Coordinator in writing if there are any changes to such person’s name, e-mail address, or physical address. Each Supervisor and Reporting Individual shall promptly notify the Commission in the manner prescribed by the Commission if there are any changes to such person’s e-mail address.

287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FIVE, or for a planning study activity when the fee for Professional Services is estimated by the District to exceed the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 for CATEGORY TWO, as such categories may be amended or adjusted from time to time.

Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing;
Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any;

Public Announcement. Except in cases of valid public emergencies as certified by the Board, the District shall announce each occasion when Professional Services are required for a Project or a Continuing Contract by publishing a notice providing a general description of the Project, or the nature of the Continuing Contract, and the method for interested consultants to apply for consideration. The notice shall appear in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation inwithin the county or counties in which the District is located and in such other places as the District deems appropriate. The notice must allow at least fourteen
(14) days for submittal of qualifications from the date of publication. The District may maintain lists of consultants interested in receiving such notices. These consultants are encouraged to submit annually statements of qualifications and performance data. The District shall make reasonable efforts to provide copies of any notices to such consultants, but the failure to do so shall not give such consultants any bid protest or other rights or otherwise disqualify any otherwise
valid procurement process.	The Board has the right to reject any and all qualifications, and such reservation shall be included in the published notice. Consultants not receiving a contract award shall not be entitled to recover from the District any costs of qualification package preparation or submittal.

Competitive Selection.

The Board shall review and evaluate the data submitted in response to the notice described in section (3) of this Rule regarding qualifications and performance ability, as well as any statements of qualifications on file. The Board shall conduct discussions with, and may require public presentation by consultants regarding their qualifications, approach to the Project, and ability to furnish the required services.

If the selection process is administered by any person or committee other than the full Board, the selection made will be presented to the full Board with a recommendation that competitive negotiations be instituted with the selected firms in order of preference listed.
Notice of the rankings adopted by the Board, including the rejection of some or all qualification packages, shall be provided in writing to all consultants byproposers by e-mail (with a delivery and read receipt), United States Mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service.

The notice shall include the following statement: "“Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules,"” or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s ranking decisions under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11.

Competitive Negotiation.
After the Board has authorized the beginning of competitive negotiations, the District may begin such negotiations with the firm listed as most qualified to perform the required Professional Services at a rate or amount of compensation which the Board determines is fair, competitive, and reasonable.

In negotiating a lump-sum or cost-plus-a-fixed-fee professional contract for more than the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017 of the Florida Statutes, for CATEGORY FOUR, the firm receiving the award shall be required to execute a truth-in-negotiation certificate stating that "“wage rates and other factual unit costs supporting the compensation are accurate, complete and current at the time of contracting."” In addition, any professional service contract under which such a certificate is required, shall contain a provision that "“the original contract price and any additions thereto, shall be adjusted to exclude any significant sums by which the Board determines the contract price was increased due to inaccurate, incomplete, or noncurrent wage rates and other factual unit costs."”

Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the firm determined to be the most qualified at a price deemed by the District to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the District shall immediately begin negotiations with the second most qualified firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third most qualified firm shall be undertaken.

Should the District be unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with one of the top three (3) ranked consultants, additional firms shall be selected by the District, in order of their competence and qualifications.
Negotiations shall continue, beginning with the first-named firm on the list, until an agreement is reached or the list of firms is exhausted.

Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may recommend that any and all proposals be rejected.

Where compensation was not selected as a factor used in evaluating the proposals, the Board shall negotiate with the firm ranked first and inquire of that firm as to the basis of compensation. If the Board is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the first ranked firm at a price deemed by the Board to be fair, competitive, and reasonable, then negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and the Board shall immediately begin negotiations with the second ranked firm. If a satisfactory agreement with the second ranked firm cannot be reached, those negotiations shall be terminated and negotiations with the third ranked firm shall be undertaken. The Board may reopen formal negotiations with any one of the three top-ranked firms, but it may not negotiate with more than one firm at a time.

All contracts for the construction or improvement of any building, structure, or other public construction works authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, the costs of which are estimated by the District in accordance with generally accepted cost accounting principles to be in excess of the threshold amount for applicability of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as that amount may be indexed or amended from time to time, shall be let under the terms of these Rules and the procedures of Section 255.20 of the Florida Statutes, as the same may be amended from time to time. A project shall not be divided solely to avoid the threshold bidding requirements.

Procedure. When a purchase of construction services is within the scope of this Rule, the following procedures shall apply:
The Board shall cause to be prepared an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation.
Notice of the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the District and inwithin the county or counties in which the District is located. The notice shall also include the amount of the bid bond, if one is required. The notice shall allow at least twenty-one (21) days for submittal of sealed bids, proposals, replies, or responses, unless the Board, for good cause, determines a shorter period of time is appropriate. Any project projected to cost more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) must be noticed at least thirty (30) days prior to the date for submittal of bids, proposals, replies, or responses. If the Board has previously pre-qualified contractors pursuant to Rule 3.4 and determined that only the contractors that have been pre-qualified will be permitted to submit bids, proposals, replies, and responses, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation need not be published. Instead, the Notice of Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation shall be sent to the pre-qualified contractors by e-mail (with a delivery and read receipt), United States Mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service.

The District may maintain lists of persons interested in receiving notices of Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations. The District shall make a good faith effort to provide written notice, by electronic maile-mail, United States Mail, hand delivery, or facsimile, to persons who provide their name and address to the District Manager for inclusion on the list. However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any contract awarded in
accordance with this Rule and shall not be a basis for a protest of any contract award.

If the District has pre-qualified providers of construction services, then, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses to Invitations to Bid, Requests for Proposals, Invitations to Negotiate, and Competitive Solicitations.

In order to be eligible to submit a bid, proposal, reply, or response, a firm or individual must, at the time of receipt of the bids, proposals, replies, or responses:

Hold all required applicable state professional licenses in good standing;
Hold all required applicable federal licenses in good standing, if any;
Hold a current and active Florida corporate charter or be authorized to do business in the State of Florida in accordance with Chapter 607 of the Florida Statutes, if the bidder is a corporation; and

Meet any special pre-qualification requirements set forth in the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation.

Any contractor that has been found guilty by a court of any violation of federal labor or employment tax laws regarding subjects including but not limited to, reemployment assistance, safety, tax withholding, worker’s compensation, unemployment tax, social security and Medicare tax, wage or hour, or prevailing rate laws within the past five (5)  years may be considered ineligible by the District to submit a bid, response, or proposal for a District project.

Evidence of compliance with these Rules must be submitted with the bid, proposal, reply, or response, if required by the District. Failure to submit evidence of compliance when required may be grounds for rejection of the bid, proposal, reply, or response.

Bids, proposals, replies, and responses, or the portions of which that include the price, shall be publicly opened at a meeting noticed in accordance with Rule 1.3, and at which at least one district representative is present. The name of each bidder and the price submitted in the bid shall be announced at such meeting and shall be made available upon
request. Minutes should be taken at the meeting and maintained by the District.	Bids, proposals, replies, and responses shall be evaluated in accordance with the respective Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation and these Rules. Minor variations in the bids, proposals, replies, or responses may be waived by the Board. A variation is minor if waiver of the variation does not create a competitive advantage or disadvantage of a material nature. Mistakes in arithmetic extension of pricing may be corrected by the Board. Bids and proposals may not be modified or supplemented after opening; provided however, additional information may be requested and/or provided to evidence compliance, make non-material modifications, clarifications, or supplementations, and as otherwise permitted by Florida law.

The lowest Responsive Bid submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Bidder in response to an Invitation to Bid shall be accepted. In relation to a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, the Board shall select the Responsive Proposal, Reply, or Response submitted by a Responsive and Responsible Vendor which is most advantageous to the District. To assure full understanding of the responsiveness to the solicitation requirements contained in a Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, discussions may be conducted with qualified vendors. Vendors shall be accorded fair treatment prior to the submittal date with respect to any opportunity for discussion, preparation, and revision of bids, proposals, replies, and responses.

The Board shall have the right to reject all bids, proposals, replies, or responses because they exceed the amount of funds budgeted for the purchase, if there are not enough to be competitive, or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No contractor shall be entitled to recover any costs of bid, proposal, response, or reply preparation or submittal from the District.

The Board may require potential contractors to furnish bid bonds, performance bonds, and/or other bonds with a responsible surety to be approved by the Board.

If less than three (3) Responsive Bids, Proposals, Replies, or Responses are received, the District may purchase construction services or may reject the bids, proposals, replies, or responses for a lack of competitiveness. If no Responsive Bid, Proposal, Reply, or Response is received, the District may proceed with the procurement of construction services, in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District, which may include but is not limited to a direct purchase of the construction services without further competitive selection processes.
If the selection process is administered by any person or committee other than the full Board, the selection made will be presented to the full Board with a recommendation that competitive negotiations be instituted with the selected firms in order of preference listed.

(jl)	Notice of intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, proposals, replies, or responses, shall be provided in writing to all contractors byproposers by e-mail (with a delivery and read receipt), United States Mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service.  The District may alternatively post the notice of intent to award on its website at the conclusion of the Board meeting where the proposals were evaluated if so provided for in the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation.	The notice shall include the following statement: "“Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules,"” or wording to that effect.
Protests of the District’s purchase of construction services under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11.
(k)  If less than three (3) Responsive Bids, Proposals, Replies, or Responses are received, the District may purchase construction services or may reject the bids, proposals, replies, or responses for a lack of competitiveness. If no Responsive Bid, Proposal, Reply, or Response is received, the District may proceed with the procurement of construction services, in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District, which may include but is not limited to a direct purchase of the construction services without further competitive selection processes.
Sole Source; Government. Construction services that are only available from a single source are exempt from this Rule. Construction services provided by governmental agencies are exempt from this Rule. This Rule shall not apply to the purchase of construction services, which may include goods, supplies, or materials, that are purchased under a federal, state, or local government contract that has been competitively procured by such federal, state, or local government in a manner consistent with the material procurement requirements of these Rules. A contract for construction services is exempt from this Rule if state or federal law prescribes with whom the District must contract or if the rate of payment is established during the appropriation process.

Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws.

Emergency Purchases. The District may make an Emergency Purchase without complying with these rules. The fact that an Emergency Purchase has occurred or is necessary shall be noted in the minutes of the next Board Meeting.
Exceptions. This Rule is inapplicable when:

The project is undertaken as repair or maintenance of an existing public facility;

The funding source of the project will be diminished or lost because the time required to competitively award the project after the funds become available exceeds the time within which the funding source must be spent;

The District has competitively awarded a project and the contractor has abandoned the project or the District has terminated the contract; or

The District, after public notice, conducts a public meeting under Section

However, failure of a person to receive the notice shall not invalidate any contract awarded in accordance with this Rule and shall not be a basis for a protest of any contract award.

(d)  If the District has pre-qualified suppliers of goods, supplies, and materials, then, at the option of the District, only those persons who have been pre-qualified will be eligible to submit bids, proposals, replies, or responses.

The Board shall have the right to reject all bids, proposals, replies, or responses because they exceed the amount of funds budgeted for the purchase, if there are not enough to be competitive, or if rejection is determined to be in the best interest of the District. No Vendor shall be
[Link-to-previous setting changed from off in original to on in modified.].

entitled to recover any costs of bid, proposal, reply, or response preparation or submittal from the District.

The Board may require bidders and proposers to furnish bid bonds, performance bonds, and/or other bonds with a responsible surety to be approved by the Board.

Notice of intent to award, including rejection of some or all bids, proposals, replies, or responses shall be provided in writing to all vendors byproposers by e-mail (with a delivery and read receipt), United States Mail, hand delivery, facsimile, or overnight delivery service. The District may alternatively post the notice of intent to award on its website at the conclusion of the Board meeting where the proposals were evaluated if so provided for in the Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation. The notice shall include the following statement: "“Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Rule 3.11 of the Rules of the District shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under those Rules,"” or wording to that effect. Protests of the District’s procurement of maintenance services under this Rule shall be in accordance with the procedures set forth in Rule 3.11.

If less than three (3) Responsive Bids, Proposals, Replies, or Responses are received, the District may purchase the maintenance services or may reject the bids, proposals, replies, or responses for a lack of competitiveness. If no Responsive Bid, Proposal, Reply, or Response is received, the District may proceed with the procurement of maintenance services, in the manner the Board determines is in the best interests of the District, which may include but is not limited to a direct purchase of the maintenance services without further competitive selection processes.

Exemptions. Maintenance services that are only available from a single source are exempt from this Rule. Maintenance services provided by governmental agencies are exempt from this Rule. A contract for maintenance services is exempt from this Rule if state or federal law prescribes with whom the District must contract or if the rate of payment is established during the appropriation process.

Renewal. Contracts for the purchase of maintenance services subject to this Rule may be renewed for a maximum period of five (5) years.

Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract entered into pursuant to this Rule shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws.

Rule 3.10	Contractual Services.

Exemption from Competitive Purchase. Pursuant to Section 190.033(3) of the Florida Statutes, Contractual Services shall not be subject to competitive purchasing requirements. If an agreement is predominantly for Contractual Services, but also includes maintenance services or the purchase of goods and services, the contract shall not be subject to competitive purchasing requirements. Regardless of whether an advertisement or solicitation for Contractual Services is identified as an Invitation to Bid, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Negotiate, or Competitive Solicitation, no rights or remedies under these Rules, including but not limited to protest rights, are conferred on persons, firms, or vendors proposing to provide Contractual Services to the District.

Contracts; Public Records. In accordance with Florida law, each contract for Contractual Services shall include provisions required by law that require the contractor to comply with public records laws.

Rule 3.11	Protests with Respect to Proceedings under Rules 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6,
3.8, and 3.9.

The resolution of any protests with respect to proceedings under Rules 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, and 3.9 shall be in accordance with this Rule.

Filing.

With respect to a protest regarding qualifications, specifications, documentation, or other requirements contained in a Request for Qualifications, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Bid, or Competitive Solicitation issued by the District, the notice of protest shall be filed in writing within seventy-two (72) calendar hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays) after the first advertisement of the Request for	Qualifications,	Request	for	Proposals,	Invitation	to	Bid,	or Competitive Solicitation. A formal protest setting forth with particularity the facts and law upon which the protest is based shall be filed within seven (7) calendar days (including Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays) after the initial notice of protest was filed. For purposes of this Rule, wherever applicable, filing will be perfected and deemed to have occurred upon receipt by the District.		Failure to file a notice of protest shall constitute a waiver of all rights to protest the District’s intended decision. Failure to file a formal written protest shall constitute an abandonment of the protest proceedings and shall automatically terminate the protest proceedings.

Except for those situations covered by subsection (1)(a) of this Rule, any firm or person who is affected adversely by a District’s ranking or intended award under Rules 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, or 3.9 and desires to contest the District’s ranking or intended award, shall file with the District a written notice of protest within seventy-two (72) calendar hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays) after receipt of the notice of the District’s ranking or intended award or after posting on the District’s website if so provided for in the Request for Qualifications, Request for Proposals, Invitation to Bid, or Competitive Solicitation. A formal protest setting forth with particularity the facts and law upon which the protest is based shall be filed within seven (7) calendar days (including Saturdays, Sundays, and state holidays) after the initial notice of protest was filed. For purposes of this Rule, wherever applicable, filing will be perfected and deemed to have occurred upon receipt by the District. Failure to file a notice of protest shall constitute a waiver of all rights to protest the District’s ranking or intended award. Failure to file a formal written protest shall constitute an abandonment of the protest proceedings and shall automatically terminate the protest proceedings.
[Link-to-previous setting changed from off in original to on in modified.].

If the requirement for the posting of a protest bond and the amount of the protest bond, which may be expressed by a percentage of the contract to be awarded or a set amount, is disclosed in the District’s competitive solicitation documents for a particular purchase under Rules 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.8, or 3.9, any person who files a notice of protest must post the protest bond. The amount and form of the protest bond shall be determined by District staff after consultation with the Board and within the limits, if any, imposed by Florida law. In the event the protest is successful, the protest bond shall be refunded to the protestor. In the event the protest is unsuccessful, the protest bond shall be applied towards the District’s costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees associated with hearing and defending the protest. In the event the protest is settled by mutual agreement of the parties, the protest bond shall be distributed as agreed to by the District and protestor.

The District does not accept documents filed by electronic maile-mail or facsimile transmission. Filings are only accepted during normal business hours.

Contract Execution. Upon receipt of a notice of protest which has been timely filed, the District shall not execute the contract under protest until the subject of the protest is resolved. However, if the District sets forth in writing particular facts and circumstances showing that delay incident to protest proceedings will jeopardize the funding for the project, will materially increase the cost of the project, or will create an immediate and serious danger to the public health, safety, or welfare, the contract may be executed.

Informal Proceeding. If the Board determines a protest does not involve a disputed issue of material fact, the Board may, but is not obligated to, schedule an informal proceeding to consider the protest. Such informal proceeding shall be at a time and place determined by the Board. Notice of such proceeding shall be sent via facsimilee-mail (with a delivery and read receipt), United States Mail, or hand delivery to the protestor and any substantially affected persons or parties not less than three (3) calendar days prior to such informal proceeding. Within thirty
(30) calendar days following the informal proceeding, the Board shall issue a written decision setting forth the factual, legal, and policy grounds for its decision.

Formal Proceeding. If the Board determines a protest involves disputed issues of material fact or if the Board elects not to use the informal proceeding process provided for in section (3) of this Rule, the District shall schedule a formal hearing to resolve the protest. The Chairperson shall designate any member of the Board (including the Chairperson), District Manager, District Counsel, or other person as a hearing officer to conduct the hearing. The hearing officer may:

Administer oaths and affirmations;
[Link-to-previous setting changed from off in original to on in modified.].

Rule upon offers of proof and receive relevant evidence;

Regulate the course of the hearing, including any pre-hearing matters;

Enter orders; and

Make or receive offers of settlement, stipulation, and adjustment.

The hearing officer shall, within thirty (30) days after the hearing or receipt of the hearing transcript, whichever is later, file a recommended order which shall include a caption, time and place of hearing, appearances entered at the hearing, statement of the issues, findings of fact and conclusions of law, separately stated, and a recommendation for final District action. The District shall allow each party fifteen (15) days in which to submit written exceptions to the recommended order. The District shall issue a final order within sixty (60) days after the filing of the recommended order.

Intervenors. Other substantially affected persons may join the proceedings as intervenors on appropriate terms which shall not unduly delay the proceedings.
(65) Rejection of all Qualifications, Bids, Proposals, Replies and Responses after Receipt of Notice of Protest. If the Board determines there was a violation of law, defect, or an irregularity in the competitive solicitation process, the Bids, Proposals, Replies, and Responses are too high, or if the Board determines it is otherwise in the District’s best interest, the Board may reject all qualifications, bids, proposals, replies, and responses and start the competitive solicitation process anew. If the Board decides to reject all qualifications, bids, proposals, replies, and responses and start the competitive solicitation process anew, any pending protests shall automatically terminate.

Judicial Review. A party who is adversely affected by final District action is entitled to judicial review. Judicial review shall be sought in the county where the District is located. All proceedings shall be instituted by filing a notice of appeal or petition for review in accordance with the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure within thirty (30) calendar days after the rendition of the decision being appealed. The filing of an appeal does not itself stay enforcement of the final District decision. Judicial review of any District action shall be confined to the record transmitted. The record for judicial review shall be compiled in accordance with the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. Failure to file a notice of appeal or petition for review within the time prescribed herein shall constitute a waiver of judicial review proceedings.

Intervenors.	Other substantially affected persons may join the proceedings as intervenors on appropriate terms which shall not unduly delay the proceedings.
[Link-to-previous setting changed from off in original to on in modified.].

(78)	Settlement. Nothing herein shall preclude the settlement of any protest under this Rule at any time.

Field Management Report

Contracted Services
Landscape maintenance will continue services on a weekly basis through October 1st. The vendor’s performance has been satisfactory, and the property is in a well-maintained condition.
Due to high temperatures some of the trees were showing signs of stress. Irrigation frequencies were increased to address these concerns, and recent rainfall has helped to improve overall conditions.
Pond discing is being performed bi-monthly with the last service occurring in the second week of June. All ponds appear to be in good operating condition.
Site items
Dead plants were replaced by the contractor as requested in the landscape punch list from the engineer and have established well.
Metal fencing was installed around Tract A storm water management pond.
Pavement marking and sign installations were performed around the site.
