Middleton Community Development District Meeting - A (2026-09-10)

To order. We have a quorum, just missing Brandy, so we can proceed. Let's all please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Please observe a moment of silence. Thank you. I'd like to welcome our meeting attendees. Thanks for being here today. Our meeting attendee. So if you're here to voice some comments-- You're not. Okay. I'm happy to be here. Yeah. Well, we're happy you're here, too. Tell all your friends about it. We don't get a lot of attendance at these. I'm happy to be here again. Okay. Yeah. No worries. Okay. I only get here twice a week. Oh, okay. Well, welcome. Yeah, welcome. You're getting engaged. It's great to see. Yeah, absolutely. So next on the agenda, law enforcement update. So if you'd like to come to the podium and just give us your name and who you serve, yeah. Sure. You just give us- I don't mind. Oh, okay. That's fine. We appreciate the PD, I think now has a dedicated- Correct. I don't know if it's yourself or- That would be me. Okay, great. Yeah. How you guys doing? My name is Christian Spencer. I work for the Wallook Police Department. This is my first time being here, and I'm not really good at talking in front of people. So yeah, I came here, I'm like, "Hey, am I in the right place?" But yeah, Pearl Lieutenant Perry and Lieutenant Harry, sorry for them they couldn't be here today, but as I said, I'm assigned to Middleton and Eastport specific area, so you're going to see more patrol, well, me, around the area. But at this time, they just wanted me to report there's no major crimes, just simple accidents, like traffic accidents, but nothing major to report at this time from law enforcement. I don't know if it's I that I spoke with you the other day about the juveniles and the motorcycles. That was me, yes. Okay. And I think you were successful in the- Yes, correct ... underlying issue. So pretty much the main concern that we get most of the time is just EV bikes in the Middleton area. Me personally, I don't think it's more of juveniles just being kids. They just go in the village property, and they just go in the grass with their EV bikes. I spoke with the parents and gave them a warning. I did actually pull one over yesterday. He was just using his phone while driving 20 miles an hour on a bike. So I gave him a citation. Hopefully, that's not my way to go, but to be fair, I've already given him warning at that time. But yeah, that's pretty much most of the stuff that's happening over there in Middleton is kids riding around the bikes and EV bikes and stuff like that. Good. Well, we appreciate you being here and your service. Yeah. Yeah, we do appreciate that. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear things are pretty quiet. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. If you guys have any concerns or anything like that, I'll provide you with my phone number. Guys, feel free to call me, and any time, any incidents, I'll be more than happy to help. Great. Thank you. All right. It's nice meeting you. Thanks for being here. I'll be here. All right, next up, consent agenda. Just need a motion to approve that. Motion to approve the consent agenda. Thank you, Brandon. May I have a second to approve? Second. All in favor? Aye. All right. Consent agenda, motion passes. The next item, Mr. Chair, is a public hearing. That's for adoption of Resolution 2026-09, your final fiscal year 26-27 budget. And Ms. Cook will go over the final budget details, and we'll ask you to open the public hearing. Yes, sir. Brandy Cook, budget. So I'm here today to request adoption of Resolution 2026-09 to approve your fiscal year 2026-27 final budget. As you know, you reviewed the recommended budget at your May regular meeting, at which point you discussed the 2026-27 budget fund balance forecast for the next five fiscal years, your maintenance assessment schedule, and your working capital and reserve balances. At that time, there was direction to staff to come back with a proposed budget with no change to the maintenance assessments. As you know, the maintenance assessments did include some adjustments due to final platting and the corresponding changes in assessable acreage. So the maintenance assessments do have a slight decrease to several of the property sites, with the only one being at zero. It's a net of -3.31% for the totality of the assessments. So at this time, we would recommend the Board of Supervisors adopt your Resolution 2026-09 to approve your fiscal year 26-27 budget with your general fund at $2,738,799, which is a $401,000 decrease from the current year amended budget, mostly due to your project-wide fees from the final cost allocations. And from your proposed budget, there was a slight decrease of approximately $5,000 due to final compliance services allocation. We also have your 2022 Phase One debt service fund at $2,979,766, and your 2024 Phase Two debt service fund at $1,623,677. And I'm here if there's any questions. Otherwise, I'd request you open your public hearing. Thank you. Any questions before we open the hearing? Seeing none, I will now open the public hearing for the Middleton Community Development District fiscal year 2026-27 budget. Any public comments on the budget? Seeing none, I will now close to the public hearing for that and ask for a motion to approve the fiscal year 2026-27 final budget. Motion to approve. Thank you, David. On this one, we're going to want to read in the entire motion that's on your outline at number seven. Okay. My bad. To include the figures. Okay, got you. All right. Number seven. All right. Move to adopt Resolution 2026-09 to approve the fiscal year 2026-27 final budget in the amount of general funds $2,738,799. 2022 debt service fund $2,979,766. 2024 debt service fund $1,623,677. Thank you, David. May I have a second for the motion? Second. Any board discussion before we take a vote? Okay. All in favor of the motion? Aye. All are in favor, so the motion passes. Thank you. The next item for new business is adoption of Resolution 2026-10 for the certified non-homogenome assessment role. So as you know, per Florida Statutes 197.3632, local governments have certified a non-homogenome assessment role, which is corresponding to your budget for both the maintenance assessments and your development assessments. This also uses the uniform collection method through the tax collector, that'll come in your property tax bill each and every year. So this is just certifying that role, and we just need your approval today to adopt Resolution 2026-10 certifying that non-homogenome assessment role for the fiscal year 2026-27. Thank you, Kenny. Any questions? All right. May I have a motion to adopt the resolution? Move to approve. Thank you, Brandon. May I have a second, please? I second. Thank you, David. All in favor? Aye. All are in favor, motion passes. Thank you. Information items. If there's any questions, we're certainly here to address those questions. If not, we can move on to my reports. All right. Do you have the district manager? Just a couple calendar save the dates. One for a night out with DPM on September 23rd at the Rohand Rec Center from 4:00 to 6:00. DPM does this annually to communicate with the residents, so they can find out what does DPM do for the development and for the entire villages, how they maintain the infrastructure, maintain the landscaping, et cetera. So it's a good time for interaction with the residents, come out and speak with them. The second save the date is the National Night Out on October 6th with Community Watch. Community Watch annually puts this program together as its National Night Out. It is a national event with local law enforcement, first responders, EMS personnel, and they all come out to Rohand Rec from 5:00 to 7:00. You can intermingle with the residents, have a lot of good giveaways, and just the kids come out, grandkids come out, and they just have a great time just meeting with the firemen, the ambulance, EMTs, the policemen, and engage and have that communication with them. So just a couple save the dates for that. And just to remind you, your next meeting is November 12th here in this room at four o'clock. Remember, we changed the time to four o'clock as opposed to 4:30. So those are all my reports. Are those two events open to only residents or anyone can attend, employees, et cetera? Yeah. Are those advertised anywhere? Like the marketing, where would people find information for these? Typically, we send them out. It's in our newsletter. Usually, I think the Daily Sun just puts out information about it, so and of course, on our website. Yeah. Daily Sun definitely promotes that as well. Mm-hmm. All right. District Council, any updates? No reports. Thank you, Mark. Any supervisor comments before we adjourn? Nothing. Seeing none, we are adjourned. Thanks, everybody.
