Administration of Oath to Newly Elected Supervisor Mr. Flint administered the oath of office to Newly Elected Supervisor Mr. DiPiero. Mr. Flint: As you recall, as a member of the Board, you are a public official. In Florida, public officials are subject to government in the Sunshine Law and public records law. There are other ethics for public officials that apply to Board members. You also are required to file an annual financial disclosure. It's called a Form 1 statement of financial interests. The initial one gets filed within 30 days of today, and then you get emailed an update every year by July 1. I think back when you were on the Board previously, the Supervisor of Elections handled that. Mr. DiPiero: Yes. Mr. Flint: Now it's done directly by the Commission on Ethics and it's done online. We'll enter your information into the Commission on Ethics system. It'll generate an e-mail to you and then you can fill out the disclosure form online. E. Election of Officers Mr. Flint: I believe Mr. Brouillard was an Assistant Secretary. You can choose to keep the officers the same and make Mr. DiPiero an Assistant Secretary or we can reconsider the officers. What's the motion? Mr. Gysen: I make a motion for Mr. DiPiero to replace Harold Brouillard as an Assistant Secretary. F. Consideration of Resolution 2026-02 Electing Officers Mr. Flint: The current officers will be filled into Resolution 2026-02 and Mr. DiPiero added as an Assistant Secretary. On MOTION by Mr. Gysen, seconded by Mr. Solan, with all in favor, Resolution 2026-02 Electing Officers Appointing Frank DiPiero as an Assistant Secretary, was approved. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Proposal for North Entrance Landscape Renovation Mr. Flint: The Board previously discussed a proposal for landscape enhancements within Indigo East. Yellowstone, who's the current landscape provider, has done extensive work in putting together some concepts for the community. Those were discussed at the last meeting. You all designated Mr. Hutson as the point person to work with Yellowstone to come back with a proposed initial phase of landscape renovations and I know Mr. Hutson met with Yellowstone and Andy as well to go over their concept plans. In your agenda you have the recommendation for phase one of the landscape renovations, which address renderings 1 through 12. The proposal for that work is $25,733.75. Bob, anything you want to present to the Board on this? Mr. Hutson: Probably the biggest thing is that I met with Dylan and the rest of the group from Yellowstone, the canopies of the trees had to be raised up around that area. Eventually all of it's going to have to be because that's why a lot of the plants are dying, that they just don't get the sunlight when they were initially planted. They were aware of what had been raised. We just went over and reaffirmed, so both of us knew what was going to go on. We decided to keep a few of the crepe myrtles that are between the trees. The overall majority is going to be pretty much just like they have in the pictures. Mr. Flint: Any discussion from the Board? Mr. Gysen: I just have a question since we've had such a severe cold snap. Is our budget going to be affected by the need to replace many of the plants in our area? Is that going to impact the budget at all? Mr. Flint: We don't know that yet because typically they recommend you wait at least six weeks until after the freeze to determine whether the plant material is still alive or not. It’s probably too early to tell what is permanently damaged and what will be coming back. Mr. Hutson: I think a lot of this stuff is already in the contract with them to remove that anyway. That should be taken care of in the next few weeks. Almost everything comes back except for some palms and special things and stuff like that. I'd recommend waiting at least six weeks. Mr. Flint: The landscape palette here is pretty cold hardy and there's not a lot of tropical plants. You do have a small budget for plant replacement in your general fund, but you also have additional funds in your reserve too if it ends up needing to go there. Any other comments or discussion on the proposal? Is there a motion to approve the phase one proposal from Yellowstone for landscape renovations? On MOTION by Mr. Solan, seconded by Mr. DiPiero., with all in favor, the Proposal for North Entrance Landscape Renovation, was approved. SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Ratification of Proposal for Straightening of Road Signs Mr. Flint: Item 6 is ratification of the proposal for the straightening of the road signs. This is from John T. Crowder; the work has been done. We just had some wind over the last week, so we may need to look again at the signs, but this work was done last fall before Christmas. Mr. Hutson: I'll take a ride through. Mr. Gysen: Yes, I think I know there's one when you come from the south entrance from 90th. Mr. Flint: Is there a motion to ratify the agreement? On MOTION by Mr. Gysen, seconded by Ms. Ziino, with all in favor, the Proposal for Straightening of Road Signs, was ratified. SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Presentation of Arbitrage Reports Mr. Flint: Next are the arbitrage rebate reports. The IRS requires that the District demonstrate that we're not earning more interest than we're paying. As a result, you've engaged Amtec to perform that calculation annually. It’s about $450 a year you pay Amtec to do that. The first report is for the Series 2016 bonds and you can see that there's a negative rebatable arbitrage of $22,839, so there's no issue there. You've got the water and sewer revenue refunding bonds that you did on behalf of Bay Laurel. You've got a negative $2,411 net rebatable arbitrage. There’s no issues with arbitrage for either one of those. Any questions on the report? If not, is there a motion to accept them? On MOTION by Mr. Hutson, seconded by Mr. Gysen, with all in favor, Accepting the Arbitrage Reports, was approved. EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports A. Attorney Mr. Flint: Staff reports. Attorney, anything? Mr. Flint: We had the final form of agreement with the county and that that has been finalized. You all approved it in substantial form. That's for the widening of Southwest 80th. B. District Manager’s Report i. Consideration of Check Register ii. Balance Sheet and Income Statement Mr. Flint: You have consideration of the check register. It's in your agenda from November 5, 2025 through February 3, 2026 for the general fund, the auto pay for utilities and then the Board compensation. Those all total $147,270.24. Are there any questions on the check register? Is there a motion to approve it? On MOTION by Ms. Ziino seconded by Mr. Solan, with all in favor, the Check Register, was approved. Mr. Flint: You also have the unaudited financial statements through December 31, 2025. There's no action required by the Board on these. You have the combined balance sheet, which shows the general fund debt service and capital reserves. Then you have the statement of revenue and expenditures for each one of your funds. If there's any questions, we can discuss those. NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisors Requests Mr. Flint: Are there any Supervisor requests? TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business Mr. Flint: Is there any other business? Hearing no comments, we will move to the next item. ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment Mr. Flint: Is there a motion to adjourn the meeting? On MOTION by Mr. Hutson, seconded by Mr. Solan, with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned. _______________________________ ______________________________ Secretary / Assistant Secretary Chairman / Vice Chairman
