EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration   of   Resolution   2026-06
Approving the Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2027 and Setting a Public Hearing Date for Adoption (August 12, 2026)

Mr. deNagy stated it is my job to present a proposed budget to you, which is an estimated cost to operate the district and what assessments need to be to meet those expenditures. We will approve the proposed budget tonight and it will be on the agenda in June, July and after more discussion will adopt it in August.
Mr. deNagy then reviewed the proposed fiscal year 2027 budget that included revenues, expenditures that included administrative, maintenance, amenity center, and capital reserves. The assessment chart shows the O&M assessment is $991 and the current fiscal year assessment is
$878 per unit, which is an annual increase of $113 which is $9 per month increase. We are doing minimal increases now so that years down the road we are not hitting residents with a huge increase. There are certain expenses the developer is paying now that will be paid by the district in the future, such as for maintenance of Dove Pond.
The board and staff discussed the following: Dove Pond expenses, timing of turnover, purpose of capital reserve, insurance coverage and other budget considerations.

On MOTION by Mr. Brady seconded by Mr. Thompson with all in favor Resolution 2026-06 was approved.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Ms. Kilinski stated you should have gotten a reminder from our office regarding qualifying period for general election, your form 1 deadline and your ethics training is due by December 31st.
The district got served a complaint by a party that is looking to foreclose the mortgage on an apartment site in Canopy. The district was named as a party because the district’s name came up in the foreclosure commitment. We have been working collaboratively with the lawyers that filed that mortgage foreclosure We have asked opposing counsel to dismiss the district and modify the final judgment to the extent the foreclosure is effectuated to be clear the district’s assessments

survive the foreclosure of the mortgage or keep the district in for the limited purpose of getting to the final judgment so it is clear the District’s lien survives a mortgage foreclosure The last communication we received was that they anticipated getting us out and trying to get their foreclosure commitment updated to reflect the district needs to be out. The District’s lien survives as a matter of law but our preference is that is reflected in the final judgment.
At the last meeting, the Board and staff received a fair amount of communication regarding Dove Pond and some of the news media that had come up before the last meeting. The water management district came out and inspected the Dove Pond as a result of the county making some allegations that Dove Pond was having seepage. The water management district’s letter that was provided to our office said the opposite, they did the inspection, they see no problems with Dove Pond and while there may be seepage, the pond was designed that way. The water management district have given very explicit direction about how the pond is managed pursuant to an operation and maintenance plan, the water management districts acknowledged on their review, Dove Pond LLC is operating the plan to code. The water management district is the permitting agency, they are the ones that have authority over the pond, the county does not, so I thought that was important to bring to your attention. We have asked for one modification to the letter. I know the Dove Pond LLC attorney is working with the water management district to get it updated. My understanding is the county had the pond maintenance on their agenda last night and we believe that agenda item has been deferred. If we get any other information that is relevant to you as a board on this issue, we will keep you informed. And because we have members of the public here, just a reminder that at the beginning of this project in 2016-2017 there was a joint project agreement that was executed between the CDD, Blueprint, the city and county regarding this district’s requirement to build Dove Pond. This CDD through its own efforts, did a public bid, multiple bidders came in, there was construction engineering inspection services done by an independent engineer that was overseen by the county and Blueprint in the construction of Dove Pond. The district constructed it and it owns the improvement and it has since it has been constructed. It has always been the case, nothing has changed. The underlying real property, the dirt and underlying fee is still owned by Dove Pond LLC because they are going through permitting processes where there is a larger area tied together and the preference for all parties, the county, the district, water management district is that it remains in Dove Pond LLC’s hands until that permitting process is completed. The developer has agreed since they are in the best position to

operate Dove Pond right now to oversee the operation through a contract with the district. At some point in the future the district will want to have an independent engineer, a specialist in dams, that will take that operations and maintenance plan and do that on our behalf. Again, there is a lot of fodder about Dove Pond, but the water management district is the authority on how that dam is operated and they have done independent inspections as recently as this week and has given us a letter that said, all is well.
