I'm here today to request adoption of resolution 20 25 0 2 to amend the fiscal year 2324 budget. The board adopted the fiscal year 20 23 24 budget at a public meeting held on September 15th, 2023. As is customary at the end of each fiscal year, the financial records are reviewed for any budget adjustments per Florida State statute 180 9 0.016. The governing body of each special district at any time within a fiscal year or up to 60 days following the end of the fiscal year, may amend a budget for that year. This budget amendment must be adopted by resolution and will ensure that the actual expenditures are within budget appropriations and reduces the number of variances during the audit process. The 2022 debt service fund is being amended for higher than anticipated prepayments and other related bond expenses. And the 2022 Capital Projects fund is being amended due to payments for the construction of the district's infrastructure.

We did reach out to the contractors and um, to Wildwood PD to address any type of speeding issues or at least being out there to monitor that. Uh, there was a cost about installing cameras at the pools. Uh, we did look into it. Um, your old business has the data there, $33,837 for the equipment and installation for Lake Harlow Dry Creek and Thurston Hill. And then the recurring expenses is about $250 per location per month. Um, the only other item we would have to look at is any type of monitoring service, um, if that was included. So do you want to come back to you to give you that information for your consideration? If you want to talk about it next year's budget, uh, or sooner thereafter. So, uh, and then the other thing was additionally safety concerns from the residents that they were, uh, talking about in Middleton. And we did communicate that with Wawa PD as well.

If you have any questions about the financial statements, we can certainly address. Thank you. Alright. Uh, the next time is district manager reports. So, you know, the post storm review, we've been out certainly, uh, picking up all the storm debris. Our, uh, debris haulers and debris management company have been out, uh, each and every day since the storm started or ended. And I think to date, we've picked up about just over 9,200 and cubic yards of debris. So we still have a lot more to do. We just ask for patience. But I think, uh, we've hit all the main thoroughfares. We're working on the, the neighborhoods now, so that is still progressing. It's still gonna take some time. You know, with 90 plus square miles of the, of the development, we have a lot of places to cover. So I think for the most part we've done a pretty good job.
