Welcome Meeting Attendees The Board welcomed all those residents in attendance. 1.E. Audience Comments There were no audience comments received. SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS: Law Enforcement Quarterly Updates Sgt Dodge of the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) advised that over the past quarter the SCSO responded to 334 motor vehicle accidents and 39 golf cart accidents, and issued 1,030 citations to motor vehicle operators and 34 citations to golf cart operators. Over the past quarter there was an increase in motor vehicle thefts north of CR 466, many of the vehicles were unsecured with the keys in the vehicle. The SCSO has issued a warrant for the individual who perpetrated several of the motor vehicle thefts who is currently behind held in Volusia County, and he will be extradited to Sumter County to answer for his crimes. The SCSO believes that the concern about vehicle thefts has been addressed with the arrest of the individual. Sgt. Dodge recommended that residents not leave their vehicles unsecured or with the keys because these are considered crimes of opportunity. Additionally, there were several postal facility amenity boxes that were burglarized, a suspect has been identified and the SCSO hopes to have a warrant issued for his arrest in the very near future. Sgt Dodge thanked Community Watch for their efforts and assistance during the investigation into the burglaries.

VCDD 7 – Meeting Minutes January 7, 2026 Page 5 NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS: Supervisor Comments 8.A. Supervisor Coleman: Project Wide Advisory Committee After Agenda Supervisor Coleman stated that the After Agenda for the January 5, 2026 PWAC meeting was provided to the Board as information, and advised that Staff presented the Pool Monitoring Study statistics and the Committee recommended proceeding approval of Option 2 - Continuing with a minimum of three (3) daily random checks by Recreation Staff and the addition of a minimum of two (2) daily random checks by Community Watch Staff. The Committee discussed whether residents should be requested to get out of the pools to have their IDs checked, and Staff did raise some possible ADA concerns, but the Committee’s direction was that all IDs be checked. Ms. Wilson advised that based on the Committee’s discussion additional ADA training will occur for Staff and should a resident refuse to get out of the pool, the procedures for non-compliance will be followed. Chair Vicenti inquired if there is an additional cost for Community Watch to complete the ID checks. Supervisor Coleman advised that there is no additional cost for Community Watch Staff to complete the ID checks, but there was a cost to purchase the scanners that Community Watch will need. Vice Chair Lapp inquired what action will be taken about contractors utilizing the restrooms at the pools. Supervisor Coleman advised that contractors are able to utilize the restrooms at the pools. Ms. Wilson stated that the restrooms are public restrooms. The contractors are not able to utilize the pools or participate in any amenity activities. It is similar to someone using the restrooms at a recreation center but not being able to participate in any of the activities. Supervisor Coleman stated that Don Brozick, Chair of the PWAC, advised that the Sumter County Board of County Commissioners (SCBOCC) have approved the recommendations received from the Traffic Study conducted at the intersection at Morse Boulevard and SR 44. Supervisor Coleman inquired why cameras are installed at the postal stations. Ms. Wilson advised that there is no fiber connectivity at the postal facilities to support a network. The installation of cameras at the postal facilities was previously discussed by the PWAC, but the Committee declined to expend the funds to provide the network connections to the postal stations. Supervisor Coleman inquired why cameras that recorded for a certain time period could not be installed.

VCDD 7 – Meeting Minutes January 7, 2026 Page 6 Chair Vicenti advised that when the PWAC discussions previously took place the costs were too expensive to move forward. Ms. Wilson stated that the challenge with stationary cameras is that the camera will record over itself, which would not be helpful unless issues are reported immediately. Supervisor Coleman inquired about the stack of pool chairs that has been at the Hemingway Postal Station for over a month. Ms. Wilson advised that those are old chairs that will go to auction and are waiting to be picked up by the auctioneer. Chair Vicenti stated that some of the chairs look like they are in good condition and inquired why they are being replaced. Ms. Wilson advised the replacement of the pool furniture is included on the Sumter Landing Amenities Division (SLAD) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Staff does complete an evaluation before replacing the furniture to determine if there is an opportunity to extend the usage. Chair Vicenti expressed concern about the cost to replace furniture that looks like they are still in good condition. Ms. Wilson advised that Staff can provide the Board with a copy of the SLAD CIP. Vice Chair Lapp expressed concern about the maintenance condition of the Yankee Clipper Executive Golf Course. Ms. Wilson advised that Staff will complete a review and provide a response to the Board. TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS: Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at 8:38 a.m. On MOTION by Judi-ann Rutherford, seconded by Steve Lapp, with all in favor, the Board adjourned the meeting. Kenneth C.

My name's Sergeant Adam Dodge with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office. I'm here to provide you with a quarterly law enforcement update. I'm here on behalf of the Sumter County Sheriff's Office and our Sheriff Pat Braden. Uh, typically we provide, uh, crash statistics and motor vehicle citations. I also wanna give you an update on two recent, uh, criminal cases. Over the past quarter of Sum County Sheriff's Office responded to 334 motor vehicle crashes and 39 golf cart crashes. We also issued 1030 motor vehicle citations and 34 golf cart citations. Uh, during that time period. The situations I want to alert you to, or a, a rash of recent motor vehicle thefts that occurred up, uh, north of 4 66. But here in the villages, uh, these were, uh, vehicle thefts that occurred to unsecured vehicles with keys left in them. Unfortunately, on the motor vehicle thefts, we suspected were all perpetrated by one individual, which is the case. Uh, we have a, a warrant issued for the individual. His name's Earl Dory, who's from the Wildwood area. It's the name that I'm familiar with, from having been employed with the sheriff's office for several years. Um, he's since been arrested in Volusia County. He fled from a stolen vehicle and and hid the swamp for two days before he was arrested in Volusia County. And he's, uh, currently handling his charges in that jurisdiction before he'll be, uh, transferred to Sumter County where he, he'll answer for his crimes here. But we are hoping to, uh, resolve those, uh, vehicle thefts up and, uh, two days in A swamp. You gotta give the guy credit. Uh, he'll spend more days in the jail, but you know, Geez, though, man. Uh, also wanna alert you. Uh, you've likely heard about the, uh, amenity boxes having been, uh, forcibly entered at postal stations and our investigations moving forward with that case. We do have a suspect identified. However, I can't provide you with a name or other information, but I want to just, uh, make you aware we do have a suspect in that case. And, and that case continues to move forward in its investigation. That's all the information I have for you this morning. If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Uh, we have a two month, obviously. We, uh, uh, CCO or seco, whatever you want to call it. Um, we had a bill. It's a two month bill.

Motion approve. Motion approve. Uh, do I get a second? Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Any, uh, disapprove? None. See, none. Motion has passed. Uh, let's do next. Um, all business? Yes. Good morning. Board members. Um, you have a few items on old business. Um, you do have the, uh, luminosity item. Um, I did finish going through all the information that I was able to obtain. Um, and I have submitted that to Ms. Ragi, um, for her review as well. Um, as soon as she, um, communicates back and either concurs or if, if there's any additional information I should be looking at, um, we'll email all of that to the board. Um, again, we just, well, from staff's perspective as well, and I'm sure from hers, we want to ensure that if you proceed with anything, that, number one, the data is valuable. And number two, that there is an expense associated with that to ensure that it, it, it would result in any type of valuable information or applicable information. So as soon as that's complete, we'll get that email to you. Um, the second or under non-district seven items, but on your old business. So the first item under that list was, um, that should actually say the, the postmaster. So the Deval postal, um, station concerns, um, those were communicated, um, to the postmaster for Lady Lake. Um, again, those come down to contractual arrangements between them and their employees. Um, the second item, um, is a positive item. Um, so Supervisor Coleman was able to address at the project wide advisory committee meeting the he Hemingway request for corn toss. Um, which I don't want to steal your thunder, so I I know that's coming up under the project wide. No, steal it. Go Ahead. After agenda. Go Ahead. Steal it. Um, but that did result in a, um, success. Um, so the committee did agree to install, uh, corn toss at Hemingway. And, um, district property management got right on that. They've already, um, they're working to obtain the quotes and such to complete the work at that location. I, I, I had 1, 1 1 additional comment there. It's Bruce Brown really helped in that discussion. Um, he, he tempered the, and it is valid questions, uh, that the committee members had in that if it, if this was approved, how many more instances or what was gonna be our policy going forward? Were we gonna have tens of hundreds of these that are gonna come forward by individual small groups? And that, and Bruce really helped in, in that, in, in tempering it and said, I'm not aware of any other one even contemplating this. And this has been the first in a long, long time. So I really appreciated his, his positive support and objective objectivity in, in, uh, dealing with that. So Yes, I'll relay that to Him. Yeah, do please do. Thank you. And I got a question. Um, so up there, Hemingway, they're gonna tear out the No, the, no, they're not gonna, they're not gonna remove the, the, uh, horseshoe pit, uh, adjacent to it or, or some room there, uh, adjacent with that, they will install the, the corn toss. They're not gonna take, take away any amenity that exists, even though, even in the new areas down south that are being constructed, horseshoes is not part of it. Um, right. But they're not gonna take it out. But they'll, they'll go ahead and install the, uh, the corn toss. So it's gonna overlay where the horseshoes were are No, they're, they're not removing that. They're going to, they'll be another, another. Oh, so this is gonna cut down into the dog part. True. Probably. Yeah. So we're gonna get a complaint from the dog, dog, dog walker. Okay. Yeah. Well, yeah, bring them on. Yeah, that group will come forward next. Cutting down some of their space. That was therefore, and, and the last item, the board did request an overview of the a ED program. Um, so we did send out the information that, um, public safety provides to the neighborhood group through the villages public safety department, and then also a link to, um, Sumter County's, um, program, which is also referenced when, um, individuals contact villages, public safety department as well. And that concludes all business. Okay. On, uh, okay. Financial statement, BPM monthly reports of village, Uh, development districts, having hearing updates. Anything on that? Any questions from the board? No, no district manager report. No reports other than to say Happy New Year. Happy new, happy New Year. Do you have a good turnout for your open house? Yes, it was very full. Ah, cool. Alright. Michelle, are you there? District council reports got any? Yes. I, um, did not have a report, but I do have one request for the board. Um, uh, chairman Vicente and I talked about this, um, briefly over, uh, December. Um, at the last board meeting, uh, some of you may remember, I had reported to the board that we have started our legislative monitoring work. Um, it is a work that a team of dedicated three to four attorneys in my office to every single year, starting around October or November, um, at the start of the, or even before the start of the legislative session, to start to monitor new, uh, bills that may potentially have impact on all CDD operations so that we can, um, implement any new laws, um, moving forward immediately. And so that it, it is seamless in, um, CDD operations. It's a legislative work that we do for all of our clients, regardless whether the client is paying for same. Um, the difference is that, um, the work product that I mentioned, uh, the capital conversations, which is a weekly summary on the, the current status of what's going on at the legislative level, um, is not provided for those who do not pay. Um, I found out after last meeting that, uh, my, uh, Mike was providing this service at no cost to villages, CDD. Um, it is something that our team puts a lot of effort and a lot of time on it. It's really truly something like having a second job. And so wherever I can, I try and recoup that cost for them. Um, the way we bill out our services for the legislative portion is everybody who opts in to receive the capital conversations gets a portion of the work. So it is not the entirety of the work that they're doing, but it is just a very small fraction. And that comes to about, uh, 2.7 hours at, at on average, um, at the end of the session. And that can be billed either at the end of the session or as we go on, on a monthly basis, usually about four to five months in total. Um, I had asked Chairman Centi whether it is something that you all will be interested in receiving moving forward, um, and he asked that I bring this forward to, to the board. And so I wanted to make that request today. Um, and I'd be happy to answer any questions. Um, but I would be, um, very appreciative if, if it is something that you all would like to opt into. Like, uh, Michelle, just real quick, and I may have mentioned this to you, but let's, let's get to the nitty gritty. We are actually talking about three hours was set, uh, quarterly, uh, where you said 2.7, but let's go with, let's go with three. It's easy to understand. So, um, so what we talking, how many times, um, a year would that happen? That would be three hours of, um, the legislative attorney's time total for the entire session. So it would be like three hours at most, um, once a year. Oh, okay. That's, that's where it was going from, so, okay. That's, that's okay. So, or any question That's like a thousand dollars. Yeah. Yeah. I would, I would think three hours. Yeah. Three times. Say three times 300 or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. So, so we're gonna volunteer to pay for stuff. They're not gonna charge us for not, not yet. We're gonna obviously discuss it. No, no. That's what the discussion is. Volunteer's to pay for something that we don't Exactly. Well, we used to get it for nothing across. Yes. Now stuff. Now the other question is, let's, we'll go through and ask all the supervisors, um, do we have, what if we opt out? Do we have to take this? Obviously, I know it makes sense, but what do we decide that we don't want to pay? Uh, does that mean we, well, So Go ahead. So, uh, we won't stop doing our legislative work. We, we believe it is important work we will continue to do. So you just won't get the, um, nice, neat summary, the work product that, uh, results in our work. Um, so I will, you know, continue to update periodically, um, just verbally. Um, but it, you guys won't get the, the newsletter. Okay. Gotcha. Now we got any questions? I have no questions. Any, nothing. You, you all right. For the, uh, obviously it's gonna cost around a thousand dollars extra a year for us. Well, I, I think if I'm hearing you correctly, this is due diligence work that they have to do anyway. Yeah. And so I don't understand the complete policy on why they charge us back for due diligence they have to do. Right. Well, Currently they don't charge us back. We're volunteering to pay. Well Do same thing. So Yeah, I, I, I don't know. I haven't really mixed on it yet. You know, Do I have a problem paying for something that they continue to do for nothing to get a newsletter that I don't know that everybody will even read, think that we have the highest legal fees? No more? No, No more. No more. Okay. Close to The highest. No, not even close. Okay. But I, I don't know that why we would volunteer our citizens to pay money that they don't have to pay. So I don't, I don't, I'm not seeing it Okay. As part of our work agreement previously. So I'm seeing need to pay additional for, I probably, yeah, I kind of agree with that. I, I'm not inclined to go ahead with that. Okay. Okay. Uh, so, um, we got, uh, obviously it seems like it don't one, let's take a vote on it. I don't pay. No, No, I agree. No, no, no. Um, Michelle, we opt that we, uh, are not gonna opt in on it. In other words, we won't pay and you don't have to give us the, uh, you know, just her regular. Yeah. Just obviously we doing before. Okay. Well thank you for the consideration anyways. And I, and I do appreciate you as well. Discussion Things. Yeah. You gotta understand. Yeah, understand what, and I agree with it. Uh, the residents, uh, obviously if they do read or listen to our meetings, they'll say, why are we paying for something we didn't have to pay for it? That's really not, you know, and something that you're doing anyway, you know. But, uh, I kind of agree with it and I kind of do agree with it, so. All right. Thank you. Any, anything else, Michelle? No, just happy year and looking forward forward to another productive year. Thank you so much. Thank, thank you. Supervisor's comments. Let's go. Ed, we did a great job on project wide. Thank you. Wanna give an update? Uh, yeah, the, other than the corn toss, the other, the, actually the main discussions involve the, uh, pool checking and the, you know, obviously the, um, Ms. Rohan go ahead and made the, made the presentation and, you know, gave the numbers, um, and provided a number of, number of options and what the committee agreed to is, is go ahead. And it was, I think, uh, option two, I guess it was to partner with community watch to have them perform an additional two, uh, check. So that will be, I think, a total of five per day, uh, that will be done. Uh, checking then there was a fair amount of back and forth regarding, uh, whether making people, you know, get out of the pool or whatnot. But, you know, I think that the general thought was, and I'm not sure if it got conveyed and, and totally determined, check everybody regardless. I mean it, regardless of whether people see somebody come jump in the pool or not in the pool or any place in there, you need to bring the, uh, bring your ID card. And so hopefully that will, uh, show some result. I know that the perception obviously, and it, it came up in Village News and every place else that people still don't believe it. You know, given the, uh, the areas around here that, you know, notify or, or publicize that you're close to the villages take advantage of the amenities. You know, the perception is by people that it's, you know, run amuck and people are just coming in using the pools and stuff, and it didn't prove, it didn't prove out in the, in the test. Um, I think they're gonna probably do another one of these in May or June, which might be a more, uh, reflective of the period of time when the temperatures are such, and pools might be more, uh, more sought after and stuff like that. So we'll see where that, where that comes. And the, uh, real, Real quick. Yeah. And on, on that subject, two questions. Um, did they ever establish that they could tell if the person get outta the pool and show The id? I don't think, unless Brittany, I mean, that was discussed, but I'm not, I'm not convinced that that was the final determination. Even though several committee members, I, myself and several others brought that up. I didn't know if that was in fact agreement. And even, uh, Mr. Stone acknowledged the fact that, you know, if we treat everybody alike, we shouldn't run into problems. 'cause there was a little bit of the banter about, well, if somebody's handicapped and it's difficult for them to get out and stuff. And then there was a, a, I don't know how this came into being, well, we're not gonna go over into somebody's purse or wallet and find their ID card. So I don't know where that even came up, but that was, that was raised, but I don't know, I'm Really, If they firmly agreed that they're gonna check everybody, So what I took away from it is not number one, we did talk about some a DA training for Yes. Staff members to understand that if there truly is a, you know, if someone uses the lift chair to get into the pool, it's distress. You know, that that's a, that's a different circumstance Yeah. Than someone that is refusing to get out of the pool. Um, and that they would use the same mechanism that they, they do violation letters for Right. To take down their information, their name and document that so that they do receive a letter that they didn't show their id. Yeah. Because it, the, even the individuals that are on the compliance study, they were still residents. They just did not have their ID with them. Right. But they knew their number or could produce a driver's license or they had a picture of it. So it, it, it would be under that same scenario where they still get documented. They still are on the, the street, the three strike list, essentially, that they start getting letters. And then the third one, um, results in the inability to use or participate in amenity facilities for a period of time. Yeah. They did talk about, they did talk about going through some training, particularly for community watch people, because they're not, that's not something in their Bailey woods right now. And so that in the future, if they're gonna be performing these checks, they need to be able to go through some training or, you know, some orientation as to how to deal with that type situation. So the Bottom line is they, they are and will be asking people to get outta the pool for their Id, yes or no? Yeah. Yes. That's, I mean, I think that's what they Yes. With the understanding that if someone does not get out Yes. Then they get, they will ask for their name that would, or information to document it. Yeah. Yeah. Great. And the only exception, oh, you gotta use some discretion if somebody's, um, disabled and they come on common Sense. And that's gonna require the, the training on how to, And the other question I had right away, and I don't, I don't think it should be, is any extra cost because the PA is on PWA because of the, uh, uh, neighborhood watches is going on extra. No, that was, there was no discussion about that. That was, that was a billing issue. It was just, it was, you know, just an additional Additional, just additional For the, uh, the community watch people. Okay. Okay. It's amazing. We took, I'm sorry, can, I'm sorry. Um, So I just happened to show up at Duke Cypress a month ago without my ID for something. And they asked me my name, they typed it in and I popped up. And so they can check on their little scan Yeah. Won ticket. That's right. That makes sense. Why would you have to write it down? If they have their, uh, woohoo, their little, uh, woo woohoo, woohoo thing. Woo-hoo. Yeah. They don't have to write it down. Technically, all they need is their, uh, their little computer with a help. If Community Watch will not have The Scanner. No, they will. Community watch will have a scanner, but if someone does not have their id, that gets documented because a lot of times people know their ID number. Yeah. So it gets documented and they are able to check in the system. Yeah. Or they have a picture of it. Yeah. So in that instance, it gets e Either way that gets documented because they do receive a letter as a reminder that they need to bring their ID with them. No kidding. So technically after the third time, what do you do? Go in the house and shoot 'em? I mean, what they young, they're banned. Banned what? Three? Yeah. They're banned for X number of months or year or permanently, I guess. Yeah. Depending on this. Sure. Correct. There's a, there's a whole matrix they use for the Yeah. Severity of the violations. See they, Yeah. But they could prove that they are, uh, army residents and they do, because if the neighborhood watch has their little computer with them to see that they are, uh, it's a, they have a picture on their phone Yeah. Of their id. That's, I don't understand why you're writing it down and penalizing them, you know. But Yeah, The easiest thing to do is when we go to ell, we leave our ID on the table where we sit, it's sitting right there. And if I'm in the pool and they're checking, I just say the IDs right there, the ID has my picture on it. You're looking at me where I go through my purse or anything, it's just sitting on the table.
