He noted that no significant issues were expected, as the inspections were primarily a regulatory requirement. He also advised that a CDD representative would need to sign the report acknowledging review before it could be submitted.
Mr. Oliver inquired whether reports concerning the proposed Harris Teeter grocery store on State Road 16 east of the interstate could be confirmed. Mr. Schaefer indicated that he was not prepared to confirm that specific report but noted that Harris Teeter stores were planned for SilverLeaf and EverRange.

Report on the Number of Registered Voters (654)
Mr. Oliver reported as of April 15, 2026 there were 654 registered voters residing within the District, as required to be recorded annually pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. He noted that one of the criteria for transitioning to general elections is that the District must be at least six years old and have at least 250 registered voters and stated that the District had satisfied the voter threshold and would meet the remaining requirement with the passage of time.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
There were no Supervisor Requests.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
A resident commented that in anticipation of transition to a homeowner-controlled Board certain budget line items remained concerns within the community. He specifically identified the pool attendant expense as a concern, stating that many residents viewed the service as unnecessary and ineffective. He expressed the opinion that the position did not provide meaningful value to the community and suggested that eliminating the expense should be considered, either by the current Board or by a future resident-controlled Board.
Resident commented on budget line items related to security services patrol and the landscape maintenance contract. He asked for clarification regarding the security patrol expense, stating that no apparent security issues had been observed in the community. He also expressed concern regarding the $160,000 landscaping contract, stating that landscaping performance had not met community expectations and that weed issues remained a frequent complaint. He suggested that the Board consider seeking additional bids or alternative vendors and further commented that reducing or reevaluating certain expenses could help offset the proposed assessment increase. He also stated that any surplus carried forward to a future resident-controlled Board would be acceptable.
Resident stated that community concerns previously shared with the Board, including a spreadsheet of landscaping issues, remained unresolved and that the reported deficiencies had not been corrected. Additional concerns were raised regarding insufficient lighting around the mailbox area, with a request for clarification as to whether additional lighting was planned or would need to be incorporated into a future budget. He also inquired about the possible installation of additional parking and towing signage throughout the neighborhood. He commented regarding plastic poles, tubing, and lighting stakes located in various areas of the community, including some within residential yards, with a request for clarification as to whether the materials were still needed and, if not, whether they could be removed.
Resident raised a safety concern regarding green electrical boxes located on Getting Way in Kingsley Park, stating that the boxes appeared to be improperly secured and propped up above their concrete pads, leaving internal equipment potentially exposed. He expressed concern that the condition could pose a serious safety hazard and requested that the issue be addressed.
In response to resident comments, Mr. Oliver stated that the landscape maintenance vendor is expected to perform in accordance with the contract requirements and that staff would continue

to monitor performance closely. He advised that if performance concerns persist, the Board could consider directing staff to pursue alternative options through a formal solicitation process, with any such decision to be made at a public Board meeting. He noted that ongoing landscaping concerns, including weed-related complaints, would be addressed with the current vendor.
Regarding the pool attendant expense, he stated that staffing levels and service arrangements for the amenity facility are Board decisions and may be revisited during the budget process. He acknowledged the annual cost associated with the service and noted that different service providers and staffing approaches may result in varying levels of performance. He advised that the Board would continue reviewing related budget line items as part of the Fiscal Year 2027 budget discussions.
In response to resident comments, a Board member explained that the pool attendant serves as access control for the amenity because the community is not gated and stated that concerns regarding attendant performance should be reported directly to management so they can be addressed with the vendor. It was noted that a future resident-controlled Board could determine whether to continue or eliminate that service.
Regarding security services, the Board explained that the budgeted expense relates to an off-duty law enforcement officer added in response to resident safety concerns. Staff advised that patrol times are intentionally not published and are scheduled on a random, part-time basis, with additional attention given to areas near the pool and bus stop. It was also noted that the officer provides monthly reports and that service availability depends on officer’s availability.
With respect to landscaping concerns, a Board member explained that ongoing weed issues are primarily associated with non-irrigated Bahia grass areas, which cannot be chemically treated without irrigation and therefore present a continuing maintenance challenge regardless of vendor. It was noted that these areas were installed without irrigation and that future improvements would require Board direction.
In response to concerns about mailbox lighting, staff stated that there are currently no developer plans to add lighting, but the matter has been noted for consideration during the budget process, including the possibility of solar lighting. Staff also stated that the conduit, stakes, and electrical box conditions raised by residents would be reviewed by the land development team and addressed as appropriate.

In addition, the drainage issue near the mailbox area would be reviewed to determine whether regrading or other corrective action is needed.

He reported that assessments were 99% collected.

On MOTION by Ms. Rogers, seconded by Mr. Della Penta, with all in favor, the Check Register, was approved.
