I'm here today to request adoption of resolution 2025 dash one zero to approve your fiscal year 20 25 26 final budget. As you know, the Middleton Maintenance Advisory Committee has reviewed and discussed the fiscal year 20 25, 26 Middleton project wide fund budget at their June regular meeting and approved to recommend moving to adoption to this board today at their morning. This, uh, their meeting this morning, excuse me. Staff continued to work on the budget over the past few months while monitoring the cost allocation amounts and incorporating any adjustments into the final budget. The budget presented to you today reflects the final budget for the Middleton downtown and Middleton project wide funds, along with any changes. Since the proposed budget approved in June, the total fiscal year 20 25 26 final budget consists of $354,653 for Middleton downtown and $2,891,631 for the Middleton project wide fund. The fiscal year 20 25 26 Middleton downtown final budget is unchanged from the approved proposed budget in June the fiscal year 20 25 26 Middleton project wide fund final budget reflects an increase of $66,412 from the proposed budget approved in June due to a camera project proposed at district pools approved during the June Middleton, a meeting which will be funded from additional contributions to the project wide fund and a Rebudgeted project at the canine parks, which will be funded through reserves. At this time, staff recommends adoption of resolution 2025 dash 10 to approve your fiscal year 20 25, 26 final budget in the amounts of Middleton downtown at $354,653, and Middleton project wide fund at $2,891,631. And staff is here for any questions you may have.

We'll now open, uh, the public hearing for the Middleton Downtown Community Development District, fiscal of 20 25, 26. Final budget and maintenance assessment fees.

Seeing none, we will now close the public hearing for the Middleton Downtown Community Development District, fiscal 25 26, final budget and maintenance assessments. Is there a motion for approval? I'll make a motion to approve. Been a motion to approve. Is there a second? Second. Been moved and moved. Approve. And second. All in favor of police, say aye. Aye. Opposed? Passes. Thank you very Much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Moving on to new business. Yes, sir. Uh, the first business is adoption of goals and objectives for fiscal year 25 26. Those you know, last year we came to you with a new legislative change that we needed to adopt goals and performance measures for each CDD, uh, in which Middleton downtown CDD did, um, uh, approve these goals and objectives. These goals and objectives will be, um, produced on your website and the, uh, criteria to meet those goals and objectives will be, uh, on by December 1st. Actually, uh, we'll note whether you met them or not, in which you have, uh, we have researched this year, uh, to other CBDs throughout the state. What we have found is everyone pretty much has done these same type of goals and objectives, um, as what we, what we have done. The financial management and budget oversight, long-term planning and resource allocation, vendor and contract management for governance and accountability and community education communication. What we've found is some CDs that have actually taken ours almost verbatim. So we were kind of the, the leader of the pack in putting this stuff out there. There were some other MI minor verification, uh, you know, variations out there. But for the most part, they're very generic. They're very general. It is meeting the, the, the statutory language as it presented. So, uh, we have, uh, we feel confident that these goals and objectives can be carried on through year two. And so we would make that recommendation that you do approve these goals and objectives for the 25 26 uh, fiscal Year. Any comments or questions? No. Is there a motion to approve? I'll make a motion. Motion to approve. Is there a second? I'll second. Moved and approved. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Pass. Thank you. Very good. The next item is consideration to adopt resolution 2025 dash 11 establishing a district's board meeting cancellation policy. So we wanted to come before the board and get your, uh, approval on how you would like meetings to be canceled. Occasionally there are meeting dates that we have scheduled, but there's no actionable items on the agenda. So the, uh, options for this is basically that the chair can make the decision or we can, uh, inquire with the chair and all supervisors to make that decision. So what we would recommend is the option, basically that, uh, option two, that staff would inquire with the chair and allow the chair to make that decision whether to cancel meeting or not. So those are the two options out there. Staff would inquire with the chair and all supervisors or just the chair. So option one is all of y'all. Option two is just the chair. So we would make the recommendation to consider the resolution 2025, uh, 11, establishing the district's board meeting cancellation policy as asking the chair for that. Any, uh, questions, discussions? No. No. Uh, I'll entertain a motion to approve one of those two options. So moved. Which option? We recommended Option two, sir. Two. So two, which would be the chair, chair to, to cancel. Okay. Oh, is there a second? I'll second. Thank you. It's been moved in in second. All in favor, please say aye. A opposed? Thank you. Uh, the last new business item is, uh, approving resolution 20 25 0 9 to petition the city of Wildwood, Florida to amend the Middleton Downtown Community, community Development District boundaries. There is a small boundary amendment that we wish to, um, present to the city of Wildwood. To do that, you have to approve, uh, this resolution and it goes to the city of Wildwood and it progresses to their ordinance, uh, amendment procedure. Um, today, if we approve this, it's already on, on the docket for the City of Wildwood for the first reading on Monday. So we just ask for you to approve this, uh, boundary amendment. Thank you. Any discussion? Take a motion. Make a motion. Been moved. Is there a second? Second. It's been moved. Um, motion and a second on 20 25 0 9. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Opposed? Passed. Thank you. Very good. Thank you, sir. Next time for informational purposes only If there's any questions, we can certainly address those while we're here. Any questions on the informational items? None. Okay. Uh, next to my reports, uh, the first thing is to make sure a reminder of the next year's schedule. Um, next year, our first meeting will be November 18th at 1130 at Olympia Rec Center. Fingers crossed at Olympia's Open, uh, and ready to go. We're counting on that. If not, we'll make, uh, contingency plans, probably back in our office in Brownwood. But, uh, that is the plan right now. And then after this meeting, you'll start getting some calendar invites for the whole year for all your meetings from Ms. Evans, from the clerk's office. So we'll be on the lookout for those. So remember next meeting, Tuesday, November 18th, 1130 at Olympia Rec. Uh, and a couple other save the dates. Uh, DPM is having their, uh, night out at a rec center with all the residents to come out and talk to 'em about all the activities that they performed for them. September 17th, national Night Out is when community watch, uh, invites all the first responders, public, uh, law enforcement agencies out to Eisenhower for the, uh, community to come out and, uh, have the time to engage and build those relationships. And lastly, government Day is November 1st, which I think this is like the 26th year of government day. Typically about a thousand people come with all the public elected officials, law enforcement, our office, everyone involved with all the governmental, uh, activities. And so people come out and build those relationships. So with that, sir, those are all my reports. Thank you. Any questions, Walker? Okay. Moving on to Council Reports. Council. So as public officials, you're required by the Florida Constitution to do four hours of ethics in Sunshine Law Training. And I'm just here to tell you that there's an opportunity to grab a couple hours on October 27th at one 30 at the district office. There'll be two hours that day that you can scoop up and use towards your floor. Thank you. Any questions? Any supervisor comments? Seeing none. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Thank you.
