Village Community Development District No. 3 (2024-10-11)

Go ahead and start the meeting. Excuse me. Crowds are overwhelming. You Okay? Roll this up here. So, uh, we'll note that, uh, supervisor, excuse me, supervisor Ellis is not here, but all of the supervisors are. So please stand for Pledge to leave at a moment of silence Of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, individual with liberty, justice. Uh, And, uh, we, we don't allow anybody from the newspaper to come to the podium, so we don't have to worry about that. No. Okay. Uh, obviously, you know the deal if, uh, you need to come on, uh, before or during any items, you can come to the podium, state your name, where you live. So, uh, we'll go ahead and start with law enforcement quarterly updates. I Believe that was the quickest audience comment section of the morning. Congratulations. Good morning. My name's Sergeant Adam Dodge with the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, and I'm here to provide you with a quarterly law enforcement update. I'm typically with the quarterly law enforcement update. I'm here to provide you with statistics on crashes, traffic enforcement citations issued within the villages. And unfortunately, I'm not able to provide you with an update to those numbers. Uh, during this update. Uh, the Sheriff's Office has been involved in a ransomware attack back in August, uh, which has impacted our, uh, report writing software and our ability to collect statistical data with reports we generate. There's no impact for citizens. If you call 9 1 1 a deputy will show up to your home. We'll conduct our investigation and, and take our normal, uh, course of action. However, how we communicate within the agency, uh, because of our network issues, has made it difficult to compile the statistical data to provide to you. I'm, uh, confident that our next, uh, quarterly update in three months, we will be back in, in a normal course of action. I'll be able to provide you with that information then. So, I wish I had, uh, that data for you. Unfortunately, I do not. Uh, I do wanna make you aware the hurricane is kind of brought to light. Some people aren't aware of some of the, uh, involvement the Sheriff's Office has in our community. Response to emergency, a sheriff's office was involved with the, uh, activation of the Emergency Operations Center, which is, uh, housed out of our, our office in, uh, Wildwood there on Powell Road. And that facility is built to withstand winds up to 200 miles an hour, to very, uh, structurally sound buildings. Uh, and the Emergency Operations Center is a representation of stakeholders from across the community, whether that be public safety, like the Sheriff's Office, the villages, public safety, as well as, uh, city organizations, um, and power companies. And it is a communication hub for all of us to share information and coordinate a response before, during, and after a storm. So the EOC was involved in, uh, the standing up of shelters across the county. We had several hub, several hundred individuals seek, um, residents inside of a shelter during the storm. Uh, we don't see it much in the, here, in the villages because there's so many quality site built homes here. However, other portions of the counties, uh, have, um, uh, larger population living in RVs, campers, or mobile homes. So they sought shelter and several of them elected to bring animals with them to those shelters. And Sheriff's office was involved immediately once storms were, the winds were at the level after for the states to be out and about. Sheriff's deputies were out conducting, uh, uh, sweeps of major roadways, uh, and looking for obstructions or hazards to citizens. And, uh, our response has been, uh, fairly quick in making sure the roadways are clear, uh, and available. As you can see, there's, there's still debris out and obviously the, our full recovery will take some time, but, uh, currently there's no indication of any deaths that are attributed directly to this store. So now, if you have any questions for me, I'd be more than happy to answer. I have, um, I know you don't have stat. Um, I'm just curious if from anecdotal or off the top of your head, has the change in the law with regard to who can operate a golf cart age-wise, has it had an impact? Have you, have there continued to be, um, stoppages and citations written? Uh, so the, the change in the law, it required a, some education because it, there's a, an a change there, but I wouldn't say there's any, uh, impact in the number of softs or citations generated, uh, for that one issue sold. I will task you then next time, uh, for the next quarterly. This has been a sticking point for me for the 20 years that I've been on this board. Um, grandparents who, who obviously have stupidity running in their family, loving kids who are eight and nine, driving, uh, the golf cart. And as a result, I, I'm, I have always been pushing, whether it's you or seamer to, to give some information about how many citations have been staffed and if it's being aggressive, because I spent 12 years in public safety and I saw too many kids who they don't know how to drive the golf cart. And, you know, as long as they're hitting the horn, why do they, why can't they hit the tree and the tree, wasn't the tree gonna move? You know, I, I'd like to know some numbers next time. There's no rush. I mean, I just, okay. Very good. All, I appreciate Your time very much. Thank You. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. So, thanks Sarge. Move on to the consent agenda, which in concludes the approval of the minutes of September 13th, 2024 meeting, and also amendment four and renewal 14 to agreement RFP 10 p dash zero 15 investment advisory services with US Bancorp Asset Management, Inc. Do we have any questions or anything regarding these, or I'll move to approve the consent agenda? Have a second. Need a second? Second. Okay. Uh, all in favor? Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. None opposed. Thank you. New business. Yes, sir. Uh, Mr. Armstrong will present your first item, which is resolution 2025 dash one, travel expense reimbursement for your a RC volunteer. Hello Board, Matt Armstrong, director of Community Standards. So, yes, before you today, we have resolution 2025 dash zero one travel expense reimbursement for your architectural review committee volunteer. Last year you had expressed a desire to want to compensate, um, the architectural Review volunteer for travel expenses, so that it was truly a volunteer position without any out-of-pocket expenses. And at that time, Shirley Horne was the, your primary, um, representative. Representative. And you had asked of the staff to ask her if she would be interested in that. And she had, at that time, gracefully declined the offer. Um, and since then, it had peaked the interest of many of the other boards, and they too wanted to follow suit with providing the same opportunity. So, staff, um, together working with budget and finance, we checked the IRS requirements for mileage reimbursements for volunteers, and we've come up with a policy in which we were able to reimburse your architectural review, volunteer for mileage reimbursement. It will be underneath, uh, the requirements established by Florida statute one 12 dash, I mean one 12.061, which is the 44 and a half cents per mile. Staff will calculate the mileage from the representative's home to the meeting location and back to their home, uh, to establish what that reimbursement will be. The budget impact is really based upon the volunteer's primary residence to the meeting location 52 times during the year for the 52 weeks. Um, this will only be established for your volunteer, your district three volunteers. You will not pay for any other architectural review committee volunteer that is represented there. So just strictly for your primary or your alternate, whoever serving at the capacity for that particular meeting. So, it is staff's recommendation that the board approve resolution 2025 dash zero one for the reimbursement travel expenses for your district three volunteers here to ask any questions. You may Have any questions regarding this, or, I took a good look at this. And, uh, from my perspective, I mean, I would've preferred a monthly stipend, but I, I know we cannot do that. I mean, it's not, it's not applicable into the law. So at least getting the individual something is better than nothing. So I, I think the rate's perfectly okay. Okay. We need a motion to approve this. I move to approve resolution 2025 dash oh. One Second. Second, whatever. Okay. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? None opposed. Thank You. Board. Okay. And Ms. Char presents RFP 24 P dash zero three eight for oncall services, geological anomalies and storm water system. Thank you, Mrs. Duckett. Good morning Board. Melissa Shar, purchasing. Yes, that's correct. I'm here requesting approval of awards to four contractors for request for proposals. 24 p dash zero three eight Oncall services, geological anomalies and stormwater systems. The intent of this RFP was to establish agreements with multiple contractors to provide on demand as needed, stormwater service projects and repairs, such as complete ground depression and erosion work, including excavation, filling and compacting a depression or eroded area, and remediating naturally, um, occurring geological anomalies. On August 15th, staff issued the RFP and four responsive and responsible proposals were received and presented to the selection committee for their review selection committee met on September 30th to score all respondents, according to the criteria set forth in the rf, uh, in the RFP during the evaluation process, the committee considers respondent's experience references quality, uh, qualifications of manpower, machinery, and equipment cost in the thoroughness of their overall proposal. The RFP allowed for, uh, multiple contractors to be awarded agreements based on the selection committee scores and rankings, as well as the district's need of having access to multiple contractors. Staff is requesting approval of awards for RFP 24 p dash zero three eight oncall services for geological anomalies in stormwater systems to hardscapes of Central Florida A SG Solutions, Dale Beasley Construction Company, and a SP Underground Solutions. Um, this will be for as needed services at the unit pricing as shown in Exhibit A to their respective agreements if approved. The initial term of these agreements will be today through September 30th, 2027, with the option to renew for one two year period. And pricing will remain fixed and firm for the initial term with, um, no increase exceeding 5%. And I'm here as well, staff if you have any questions on these agreements or services. Now, how do you do your research really well and you know how well they do? So I went through all of this and I, it still amazes me the amount of time, effort, and energy that oh yes, the department puts in on this stuff, making reward for something that's an if come, you know, we'll call you if we need. Yeah. Appreciate It. Pays off. So for the departments, because normally they were having to go and get quotes for this or doing an individual ITB for this. So having all these contractors as well as the ones we brought to you, uh, last month for general service electrical, I mean, it's gonna be a great efficiency and cost savings. Well, I would congratulate the department based upon the fact that the amount of work you put in for what I consider to be a, a small amount of benefits. I mean, I'm glad we've got it and I'm glad you do it, but Yep. It actually is a huge benefit. And yeah, we have a small but mighty staff, but we also work with the end users, DPM, uh, utilities and, um, golf, you know, lots. So we're, we're a great team. Okay. Anything else? Okay, I'll move to approve awards for RFP 24 p dash zero three eight for on-call services to all four of the contractors listed. Okay. Do we have a second? Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? None opposed. Thank you. Thank you. Nice job. So old business status update? Yes, sir. The first item on old business is, um, just a reoccurring item, the guest Parkinson's third in the village unit. Uh, we do have a public hearing, um, advertised for your November 8th meeting in which you will change, adopt a rule to allow towing. In addition to that, staff has been working on compiling signs, um, pictures of all of the signs. They do all have that what we called, I think legal jargon included in it with plat and book information. So we have, um, provided those to Mr. Brianis and have a follow up meeting scheduled for us to go through those. And as to whether or not we can change that verbiage. In addition, some of the signs, um, you know, may say that you can have residential parking and you can't. So right now we're just doing some background and homework, trying to make sure that whatever we have moving forward is exactly what the plot says. So mm-hmm. More information to come on that for your next meeting, but we are continuing to move forward with that. Carrie, are you starting to get a feel for, um, the other districts That realizing what we're attempting to do here with ours and therefore extrapolating out in their district as well? Right now, district four is the only one that has directly, um, expressed that they are going to want to move forward. Once we get yours done and get all of the bugs worked out and legal has reviewed the rule and we get the final verbiage, um, we will then probably take it to the other districts to see if it's something that they would like to incorporate as well. But right now we're just focusing on getting yours finished and then we'll present it to other boards. Okay. We, uh, one of the things that obviously we discussed at the workshop significantly was the word temporary. Um, we have not discussed that. Is the board or is, um, administration prepared to bring back some definitions maybe that we can need to choose from? Or are we gonna need to put our heads together to do this? I I'm hoping that with the rule that we can tow the added signage, we will be able to work it where we don't have to define temporary, because that is, yeah, That would be the best. Once you define it, you have to do it within the confines of that. Yeah. So my recommendation will be that we don't necessarily define temporary, but because if it impacts the normal use of mm-hmm. The parking lot, we can tow, if it is abandoned, we can tow. So there's other things that we can use to tow without it being restricting the temporary. We may have to come back and incorporate temporary in and define it if it's not working for our needs, but I think this is a great place to start. Yeah. Again, I think that was the key. We kind of looked at this whole thing and, you know, uh, take it one step at a time and see, you know, hopefully it starts to make some positive, uh, changes in the parking issues and if not, then we, we go much a little bit, take the next step. Right? Yep. I think one of the things along the way that we've all discussed is, um, enforcement, obviously. Yeah. You know, and, but to me there's somewhat a parallel with community standards in that, you know, I don't think anyone is addressing that, what we would all perceive to be violators. I got noticed the other day, there's one guy in, in, in Alexandria that's parked in three vehicles there. Uh, and I, I think we should give some thought along the way to who would be the person or person to, you know, sometimes if it's just, you know, informing them, Hey, you can't be doing this kind of a thing, you know, and see what their response is. You know, and I'm certain Matt runs across this with community standards, some people just bring it to their attention. You know, they're either thinking, oh, right, somebody's gonna take a look at me, or they maybe were unaware of what they're doing, you know, and, and I don't want the people living in those villas to have to be the enforcers, you know? So I think somewhere along the way as we look at this, we need to think this is gonna be, 'cause I know we have a ton of people that work in community service who ex law enforcement have no problem enforcing anything. You know, are we gonna use someone like that? Are we gonna use, unfortunately somebody has community standards, but I mean, someone, somehow we need to have, I think an initial contact with the quote unquote violators, you know, or people stretching it and see if that might bring about some change as opposed to having to be, you know, really enforceable to the point that we would have to tell, maybe there's some things we could take preliminarily, but I don't think that should be something that, that we should just not pay any attention to. We should identify somebody or someone along the way who's gonna be responsible for, for making. So that would be community standards. And Matt hears you and we'll certainly put together some guidance as to internally how that will be handled. His department does that now. Um, even if things are not necessarily a deed compliance issue, for example, solicitors Yes. Solicitors, they're not enforceable, they're public roads, but that doesn't mean we won't call them and tell them they're not allowed to solicit in the villages. So in this case, you know, them going to the property owner and saying, you know, this is a violation of the plat. The plat says that it is for the temporary use, and you are not using it temporarily and you have three vehicles posted there and you're not allowed to do that. We will do that. Okay. We just, that now don't necessarily have the way anything to do past that, but we certainly will do that now and make sure that it's written down and, um, yeah, guidance provided. Well, I think with the communication and then the, um, uh, improvement on towing and, uh, the signage, hopefully they'll, they'll actually will realize they have to make a change. I, I have had two residents who have said they don't have any, I any problem with the idea of not parking in the, um, temporary parking areas, the visitor parking areas, but they don't want to park in the street either in the villas and because it's just the narrow roads are narrow enough and, and the slope makes it difficult. Um, and they have asked specifically, can we get a, um, a waiver through, um, architectural review to add onto the driveway to make it, 'cause the problem is that of course, it's a single car driveway. Mm-hmm. And can they add onto the driveway, um, to be able to make it so that they can get a second car in? And I said, I honestly don't know, but I think this needs to be a hand in hand type of situation. Um, I now, in the 22 years I've been in the house that I'm living in, I now regret that I didn't have the, I had the option at the time to have the driveway expanded to the full expanse of the garage. Not the door opening, but the full expanse of the garage. I wish I had done that. And if in the villas, if homeowners had done that, obviously they would've added at least another four feet. We've got an individual who lives on our street, the son parks that big, big truck pickup truck in the driveway, and the father to try and keep his car outta the street actually parks across the driveway entry. He gets in and backs it up. And I, it, I look at that as being very considerate because it's right on the curb. Um, but other people don't care to do that. I would hope that maybe there can be a conversation with architectural review about if they get requests for some kind of expansion to be able to aesthetically, no, I'm not a fan of the idea, but practically I think that's important. So I'll ask Mr. Um, Armstrong to review. If it is an, an architectural review restriction, then you have the ability to look at that and potentially change it. Right. If it is in the deed restrictions that it says you can't, then we wouldn't be able to. But we'll put that on old business and Mr. Armstrong will, if you're allowed to do it, he'll have a presentation for your consideration. Okay. Thank you. Terry, what is our policy here at, uh, the district policy with regard to say this Savannah Center overnight parking, They have overnight parking permitted, um, but you have to receive a permit for it. I don't know. I don't know what, what the requirements are for the permit or how long you're allowed to park, but they do have a permit that is issued, um, for here. By whom? By the each rec center. Okay. The reason I ask is because with our proximity to district three being here and more than ample parking here for people there, it would seem to me like that may be an alternative, you know, in terms of community standards, you know, helping some of these people and, you know, therefore not violating it if they had an area up here where they could come and park overnight, you know? And, uh, I know there's a lot of activity with shows and everything else going on up here, but I'm, I'm just, I didn't, before I would let my mouth overload my ass and tell somebody, you know, that you can maybe do something like this. I wanted to know what's the legality here or what we're, what we're doing. I don't wanna be telling somebody, Hey, you might want to think about that and I need to find out that you can't do it. So if right now that's a permitting process, that's good. Yeah, and I believe it's, um, up to about a week that they're allowed to do it. So it's not something that could be done on a permanent basis, but certainly if they had friends or family coming to visit. Alright, Good. Thanks. Okay, Move on. Next item. Yes, sir. The next item was to replace dead tru throughout the district. Um, specifically the Bradford Pears were discussed. That has begun and we'll continue throughout the fiscal year. Okay. Then is that, Is that something that, um, that who, who routinely looks for that? Or is that something that we should report if we see something? Because mean I run across it, I don't think about it, but, but I, I'm wondering if somebody's paying attention to Property management is paying attention, but if you see something, certainly send an email to Mr. Harris and he'll, he'll take care of it. Okay, Great. Thank, Include information about towing rule adoption in the daily bulletin and at postal facilities. Um, we plan to do that two weeks prior to the meeting so that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. So that will be completed in the next week or two non-district three items. Um, you asked us to follow up with Subject county regarding reflector tape on the stop sign. Um, we did offer to fund the purchase of LED flashing lights and ask them to also look at the new concern, um, area that you had at 1 0 1. Oh 1 0 3. They are, um, considering that they said they would have to do a traffic study first, and we have not yet received information back. Well, the stop signs that went in at 1 0 1 have made a difference, but You want the flashing. Well, the problem is you've got people who live either side who've been there for eight, 10 years, and you know, the idea of stopping is just they're not used to it. And it becomes one of those cases of, oh, oops, I forgot all about it. And 1 0 3 over near Walmart mm-hmm. Is you're really taking your life in your hands. Partially if you're headed down, uh, Woodridge and you're looking right on 1 0 3 where steeple chase is and there's a lot of foliage in the sign there and you have to creep out, pinch forward, creep out, reach out a little bit. Look. So, um, Ms. Farlow, if you can take that complete off of that first item. I know Mr. Harris reached back out for an update and I don't believe that he has received one as of this meeting date, but we'll, uh, make sure to try and get it for your next meeting. And then, uh, you also asked us to look at the line of sight concerns at the intersection of Southern Trace and Oak Forward, I'm sorry, Oak Forest. Um, we did not only notify the resident, but also, um, Sumter County, should the resident not do it, the county typically steps in. So those have both been completed. Okay. And that concludes the whole business. I Just have a quick question. I noticed on, um, anyhow, that there's a, uh, a sinkhole right by the street, you know, that's now been taped off. Um, and I'm wondering is would that fall within the right of way of the, of the county since they maintain that street? Uh, or is that something with the homeowner? Because somebody asked me that the other day and I said, I don't know, I'll bring it up. I don't know the, uh, the stepback from the, uh, from the county in terms of how far back, and I mean, it's right on the curb, it's right on the curbing of the road. So I would assume that that should be within the right of way of the county, should it Yes. If it, as long as there's nothing other, um, taking into consideration like stormwater utilities, yes. That would be the responsibility of the county. Okay. Okay. So move On to informational items. Yes sir. These are just provided for your information and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Anything regarding any of those. Alright. Under district manager reports, I do not have an a a c after agenda as we had to cancel that meeting. Right. Although it will take place next week if you plan on attending, uh, post storm review. We, I plan on giving a post storm review of Hurricane Helene, but we'll step forward and go ahead and do, um, hurricane Milton. Um, you should have been inundated with emails from district staff on all of the updates, not only from our storm updates, but those of Sumter County as well. Um, they should start subsiding now. You won't be getting near as many. Um, but we did try very hard to make sure that we were notifying supervisors of pretty much everything that we were doing. We'd rather over provide information than under. Uh, right now what we are really focusing on is trying to get word out about debris removal. All of you were here during Irma, and I'm sure you remember what a mess it was with Irma. So we're trying to set expectations very early as to what residents can expect with this. Currently we are in the process of having all of our contractors move the storm debris to the road right of ways we are seeking FEMA reimbursement. This is a storm that we believe caused enough debris to where we will be eligible for FEMA reimbursement. So you will see all of the contractors cutting up the down trees, cutting up the limbs, and piling it in the road right of ways. Residents should be doing the same. If they have storm debris, they need to move it into the road right of way, which is typically about six to nine feet from the road onto their property. Jacobs, their normal sanitation collection provider, will not pick up storm debris. They will pick up the normal small yard clippings, but the larger storm debris that everybody is piling up right now is not going to be collected by Jacobs. It is going to be collected by our debris hauler once they get staged and ready in the villages due to the back to back storms. And the fact that the damage has occurred across the entire state of Florida and then all the way up from Helene into the Carolinas. As you can imagine, the resources are spread pretty thin right now. So what they requested and advise us to do is to make sure that we have all of our debris piled and ready to go before they come. Because if they come and the entire villages isn't ready for it to be collected, they're not going to end up staying. So we are asking for all debris to be put out and ready by October 20th, both from a district standpoint and a resident standpoint. And then they will come in and do one big sweep throughout the villages and get all of that. So if you as a resident have, um, trees, large limbs, your contractor can cut it up. They don't have to haul it off, they can just put it in the road right of way and then it will be taken as part of that big push from, um, the contractor that we have to get reimbursed by. Fema, if you could help us get that information out. It is on our website, we're gonna put it on all of the postal station bulletin boards. Um, we would really appreciate it because we want to set the expectations now of what you can expect in the villages. Typically, you have a storm and everything is fixed within a day. Yeah. That is not going to be the case with this one, just like, or hopefully not as bad as Irma, but just like Irma, it is going to take time and we need patients and not have people going and dumping things at rec centers and postal stations, which is what we ended up having with Irma. So any help you can get, um, or you can give by taking that information on the website and forwarding it out to your residents, your group, we would very much appreciate. Uh, once it gets closer, we will be providing you with maps and estimated times of when the collectors will be in your area. So we'll keep you updated on that. The October 20th date is the important, I mean, that's when you want all of this stuff done so that we're there ready. I assume that you've contacted WVLG, um, Matt is sitting here and that, uh, that the information that to me that's the most important thing to get out to the, the community. The fact that October 20th, we want it all out at the curb because if you miss it, you miss it. Yes. They will not be going back and doing second. It's gonna be, and and we did, we were on the radio with it this morning. Um, we, they continue to invite us to come on the radio to say that with WBLG, um, we've sent it to Daily Sun. I verified with Maita that she does have it as well. A a any communication out that we can find, we're gonna put it out. And then again, if you hear, um, residents asking questions, refer 'em to us or to the website. Um, but you're right, that October 20th date, especially if you have large debris that you can't haul off yourself, make sure it's out there so that that debris hauler can get it. Yep. Well, as for the number of I was the weekend I was gone Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday up north and I still got 'em all on the phone and I have no problem with the idea that we got multiple and continuous because it was nice to be able to stay on the loop. Good. Yeah. Okay. The next item on district manager reports is to save the date for government day. You should have your sign-in sheet sign passed around, sign in sheet right there. Anybody willing to, um, come and volunteer as much appreciated. CCO is the next update. You have a letter from Curtis Wynn, the CEO of cco. They received a hundred million dollars grant. Um, that they are, we, we have asked that they consider using that to help subsidize some of the cost increases that the districts are having. What they committed to doing was to do another cost analysis as to those area lights taking that grant into consideration. Mm-hmm. And once they do that, they will then notify us if that second 50% cost is needed. I think it's, I was one of the people who went to all of the meetings with CCO and I thought it was interesting that now they've received a hundred million dollars grant from an agency in Washington that Mr. Wynn wouldn't identify. Mm-hmm. Because he didn't know what it was. And it is part grant and part, um, low interest loan. So no, I, I, um, do feel positive that this will have, um, hopefully a good impact for the villages district. They're not looking at it just in the villages. They're look at everywhere. Right. And they also did commit to having another meeting where they would invite all of the supervisors to come and have that information. Once they get that cost service analysis back. It will probably be after the first of the year in the march april timeframe. Um, which is good for our budget purposes. We told them we needed it as soon as possible to make sure that we could budget properly. So at this point, it is staff's recommendation. Some districts have been looking at doing ulterior or alternate, um, plans with the lights. But it is our recommendation that you wait and see what happens with this because my microphone doesn't like me today. It may be that, um, there's going to be no further. As for the government day, I have a mass that morning, so I don't have any choice. I can't be there. Contact, Yes, we will su we will contact supervisor be And then, um, finally the board did request, um, that we provide annual reviews of your A RC and D compliance. We're no longer doing this on a quarterly basis. Right. So I will turn it over to Mr. Armstrong. Hello board, Matt Armstrong, director of Community Standards here to provide a yearly update on, uh, your Decompliance architectural Review statistics. So for the fiscal year 2324, we received 145 concerns for staff to verify. Of those 145 received concerns, 25 um, actually became written violations and seven of them came before you as a public hearing. Oftentimes the question is, how many times do we receive, uh, calls where someone submits more than one concern. Uh, this past fiscal year, you received 11 different instances where someone submitted more than two complaints and one instance where someone submitted more than six, that's just a statistical graphical breakdown of the same information that you had on the previous slide. Here's a breakdown on the monthly basis on what, uh, that statistics looks like. Uh, we are looking at 97 of the 145 concerns received. We're verified concerns. Four to six of them were, were items that were not verifiable. This slide is for some reason not correct. I will update it and send it to via the clerk's office, but I do have a breakdown where actually we received 97 complaints regarding the appearance of someone's home and or a lots. Next in line was 17 concerns regarding architectural review and everything else was under six. And then here is the number of architectural review applications received for your district 194 for that fiscal year. And I'm here to answer any questions that you may have. How do we, how do we stack up against other districts In regards to which are We, are we more active or less active in, I could pull up, pull up that spreadsheet. I would think I would dovetail with that and, and look at complaints, anonymous complaint districts versus those in which you have to give your name and lot number and everything else like that. Have, have we seen a diminishment or is it about the same or, I mean, I'm just kind of curious. Uh, and that's not something that, that I expect to answer right now, but I'd like to know that, uh, in comparison to, to those districts if we've seen anything. I think that's something that probably all boards would like to see. Um, in fact, I believe one board did request that, but we can certainly put something together and, and bring it to you next month. I, I think, I think it'd be warranted would this time because it's been long enough out that it, it might, there might be a pattern of people who have a reticence to do anything. You know, because of now they, through the information Act, they can find out who they are. Mm-hmm. I'm just kind of curious. That's been one of my concerns in day one when we talked about giving up the anonymity that No, November marks the one year anniversary of for all the districts when they made their rule changes. So th this is four different variations to review and whether name anonymous in the district, not in the district. So we would pull together some type of report that encompasses those four different variances. And then you also take into consideration also the number of rooftops, how many complaints are coming in, in, in, in comparison with the number of rooftops. Because example, district 11, if you're gonna try to compare them, they only have about 2,700 rooftops. Well, they've received 97 concerns. Um, if you're looking at north of 4 66, district one received 277 concerns. District 2, 122, district three, a hundred forty five, district 4, 206, lady Lake, lake County, which is a little bit smaller than all they received, 537. So it, it depends on, And I wonder again, the correlation, you know, somebody statistically look at that. We correlate that out, take a look at it anonymous. We definitely create a report for that. So Mr. Armstrong though, you said November marked one year. November marks one year for the rule changes. Yes. So we'll probably then do it right after the first of the year. That way we can have a full 12 months. That's Fine. And I, the numbers you just gave me, tell us that we're, we're not different than anybody else. I'm wondering Lady Lake, et cetera, the Lake County portion, I expect the numbers to be high, the older properties, et cetera. And I'm, I remember when I first moved here, we were the kids and now we're no longer the kids. And I'm, I'm wondering whether it, if the complaints increase as communities get older. I, it depends on where you are within the community. For example, district 13 has over 8,000 rooftops and they currently have 657 concerned procedures. Oh, Okay. And it doesn't have anything to do. Wow. I mean it is the size of your community. Yeah. In relation to age, I guess we, old people take better care of our property. Some of it too is that you have new residents that don't know the rules. So one person will put out some real pretty bird lawn ornaments and then all of a sudden you have 'em all over the street and nobody knows you can't have 'em. So one person calls and complains. Correct. Okay. Alright. Thank you. Thank You. Thank you. Yep. People just left the complain. So, Um, I believe it's district council report. I'll just looking out. Going down too. Yeah. This still, I still had district two on here. Oh, to change it? Yeah. District council reports. Just, Just one report. The next supervisor only training in public records. Uh, sunshine Law and Ethics is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22nd at 9:00 AM That will be held at Colony Cottage. If you still need hours, you can sign up through the clerk's Office. Okay. I'll be there. What time? Eight o'clock 9:00 AM 9:00 AM Okay. I'll be there. That'll be my last one I think. Yeah. Three. We do four, four hours. You need four hours? Four. I went the first one. Yes, I do it online. Okay. Supervisor comments. Terry? None. Stefan? Yeah, I just want to thank the staff. Uh, especially, uh, Jennifer, I don't know if she's any got any sleep or not, but every time I get up there I see a, I'm getting a, an email about what's going on, what's going on from the hurricane and, uh, how, how everybody's doing it and what the staff is doing. Mm-hmm. And then, uh, you know, five hours later I get another email from Jennifer. So she's up all night and all day and I just want to thank her for being there and giving us all the information of the hurricane. And, uh, you really worked hard. I mean, it was like unbelievable. So she did work very hard. She was always ready when we needed information pushed out. Yeah. I was like, what another this, this girl, this doesn't this woman ever sleep? We wake her up, We wake her up. Yeah. After you get up. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we appreciate it very much. All the hard work you've had to do through, through this whole thing. Uh, anything else Efan? No, that's it. See what the governors say. I would also like to give kudos to John Longacre. Those, uh, particular notices that were sent out from public safety that John is responsible for. I like the format, the way they're put together. Um, so I, and I know that John has been very, he did it when I was there and has continued to do it. And, uh, I think if they've got a, a good employee and John, when it comes to being able to provide this kind of information, the only other thing for me is just to let you know that I will not be at the November meeting. Unfortunately, I will be on the Lido deck of a cruise ship in The Bahamas somewhere. So I, I mean, I, I'm, I'm gonna have to Suffer. I think they have wifi on Zoom meeting. Okay. Anything else? And that, other than thanking all the great work you guys have done with all of this, I really appreciate it. Thank you. That's good. Bill. So do we have motion to adjourn? So moved. Second. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Okay. None opposed. Thank you very much. Now they can go home and sleep, uh, this afternoon early.
