Staff continued to work on the budget over the past few months and updated it, including the final cost allocation amount. The attached packet reflects the final budget for the Eastport Square Eastport project wide fund, Eastport Stormwater Management Fund, and the Eastport Amenities Division Fund. Along with all of the changes since the proposed budget, the final budget consists of the Eastport Square Fund at $152,136. The Eastport project wide fund at $4,372,176. The Eastport Stormwater Management Fund at $126,288 and the East Port Amenities Division Fund at $1,041,824.

All in favor, aye. Aye. Thank you. Very good, thank you. The next item, Madam Chair, is adopt your goals and objectives for fiscal year 25 26. So, as you know, the legislature created a, um, section within Florida statute 1-890-694-LAST year for all special districts to create goals and objectives to be, uh, put on your website and then annually, uh, in your annual report report back to the, um, members of your public and the legislature, whether you met those goals and objectives. And those will be, um, on your website by December 1st on your annual report. Um, we did, uh, reach out and kind of do a cursory survey of other, uh, CDs and special districts throughout the state to see what type of, um, goals and objectives they were using. And quite frankly, they were pretty similar to the ones that we, uh, proposed last year that you approved. We don't really see any major differences out there. I think everyone's taking the simplistic approach to meet the, the letter of the law and to make sure that we are adhering to, um, all these goals and objectives. So for year two, we actually would recommend the same ones that we did last year. They were, uh, met the, uh, the intent of the legislation. So the first goal, um, we would recommend is financial management and budget oversight. Second one, long-term planning and resource allocation number three, vendor and contract management. Number four, governance. Four. Governance and accountability. Number five, community engagement and communication. So we would seek your approval of utilizing these goals and objectives as outlined in your, uh, agenda packet, uh, for year two. So moved. Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Thank you. Um, the next one is very informational only if you have any questions, we're certainly here to answer those. Uh, we can go on to my reports ma'am. So the first item is, uh, if we wanted to appoint a alternate to the emac um, committee, I know Dave serves as the primary, but occasionally, sometimes there may be a conflict or some reason why. Um, he may not be able to make it. If we had an alternate, we could certainly, uh, utilize that person in his stead in case he could not make it. So if there's someone who would like to volunteer to be an alternate on that committee, it meets right before this meeting at, at uh, nine o'clock. Well I shouldn't say that 'cause we have a new meeting scheduled for next year, but uh, it is right before this meeting essentially. Um, if you wanted to just have a volunteer for an alternate in case Dave can't make it, not anyone jump outta your seat all at once Scott, if no one else will do it, I'll do it. But I think you got it. Here's the timing day. Yeah, I just would want if you could just make that consensus so that uh, we could actually, uh, officially appoint Scott as the alternate today for the EMAC committee. This is how You get volunteers For stuff. That's right. Yeah, we could actually do Gino 'cause he is committed to coming back next year. So, uh, you Can't do if it Pete is roommate. No, we're gonna change him. So yeah, I already talked to him about that. So if it is official then then Scott would be the alternate. Dave is always there. He's a trusted person for your committee, but uh, in case there might be a conflict and you couldn't make it, so Alright, you have that Madam Clerk. Very good. Uh, the next thing is the meeting, uh, for next year. Next year scheduled. So remember we did move it to Tuesdays. It is at two o'clock on November 18th. We had scheduled it to start at Olympia. Um, I'm getting some talk in my ear that Olympia may not be ready for November. So if that is the case, we would come back here, I think in one of the other rooms for that one meeting. And then hopefully January would be ready to go for, for a meeting. But Tuesday, November 18th at 2:00 PM I did reach out to Gino. He will be able to make Tuesdays, he told me. Uh, so we will have a full board compliment. If it's not an Olympia, the clerk will certainly let you know the location. But the plan B is to come back here for that one month prior to going to Olympia before the opening. So Tuesday, November 18th at 2:00 PM a couple save the dates night with DPM is September 17th. That's the, that EL wreck. That's when they come out and let the residents come out and engage with 'em, learn about different things that they're doing, uh, to help maintain this beautiful community. National Night Out, October 7th. That is with, uh, community watch where they invite all your first responders, um, to come out and just engage with the, uh, residents and build relationships. Let 'em know what they're doing, how they can help 'em, uh, with anything involved with first responders, but law enforcement or fire. And then lastly, government days. When the first at Eisenhower rec, uh, from 10 to one, that's the day when all the public officials, all your governments, uh, offices that are come in one spot for residents to come and engage with 'em and to build those relationships and ask any questions of their elected officials or, you know, maybe, um, something to do with their car tag or you know, a county budget or whatever. But they can come and ask all those questions. November 1st, I think this is like year 26. So it's heavily attended by all the residents. So those are all my reports. And just remember Tuesday, November 18th, 2:00 PM the clerk will certainly let you know the location if it's not Olympia. So thank you Counsel. As you know, there's a requirement that each of you receive on an annual basis, four hours of training in ethics, the Sunshine Law from the Public Records Act. You can get that four hours of training any way you'd like. But we're offering an opportunity to come to the district office at Brownwood on October 27th, 1:30 PM in the conference room downstairs. That will be one of the opportunities to receive that training. So save that date if you're interested. Um, October 27th. Hope we'll see you there. I'm sorry, what time was it at 1:30 PM That is in the agenda packet. Okay. Alright. Thank you supervisor cu no comment. Nope. Uh, meeting adjourned. Very good. Thank you.
