Subject: Mulch for playground at Clubhouse

Good afternoon team here is the proposal for mulch needed at the playground at clubhouse. Sorry for the delay, I just been swamped here at the office. We mulched the playground on Hammocks Blvd a few months ago, however the playground at Clubhouse was good at that time. So now we need to add to this playground. Please let me know when it gets approved because its a special order and takes time to receive. Thanks and have a great day.

Dear Gloria,

As per your request, I have checked with the electrostatic painting company and the pressure cleaning of the Clubhouse won't aﬀect the electrostatic paint. Hector mentioned that it only takes 4 hours for the electrostatic paint to completely dry. Please let us know how you would like to proceed. Thanks

Have a beautiful day!

An​y other activity related to construction as authorized by the District’s Board of Supervisors.
Wi​th respect to maintenance of facilities, the District Engineer shall render such services as authorized in writing by the District.

ARTICLE 2 METHOD OF AUTHORIZATION
Each service or project shall be authorized in writing by the District. The written authorization shall be incorporated in a Work Authorization that shall include the scope of work, compensation, and special provisions or conditions specific to the service or project being authorized. Authorization of services or projects under the contract shall be at the sole option of the District.

ARTICLE 3 COMPENSATION
It is understood and agreed that the payment of compensation for services under this contract shall be stipulated in each Work Authorization. One of the following methods shall be utilized.
3.1  Lump Sum Amount: The District and District Engineer shall mutually agree to a lump sum amount for the services to be rendered payable in proportion to the work accomplished.

ARTICLE 4 REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Reimbursable expenses consist of actual expenditures made by District Engineer, its employees, or its consultants in the interest of the project for the incidental items listed below:
4.1 Expenses of transportation and living when traveling in connection with a project, for long distance calls and facsimiles, expedited delivery fees, and fees paid for securing approval of authorities having jurisdiction over a project.

ARTICLE 8 ESTIMATE OF COST

Since District Engineer has no control over the cost of labor, materials or equipment or over a contractor's methods of determining prices, or over competitive bidding or market conditions, his opinions of probable cost provided as a service hereunder are to be made on the basis of his experience and qualifications and represent his best judgment as a professional familiar with the construction industry, but District Engineer cannot and does not guarantee that proposals, bids, or the construction costs will not vary from opinion of probable cost prepared by it. If the District wishes greater assurance as to the construction costs, it shall employ an independent cost estimator at its own expense or may direct that such work be accomplished through the Engineer. Services to modify approved documents to bring the construction cost within any limitation established by the District will be considered additional services and may justify additional fees.

MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	July 20, 2023

RE:	2023 Legislative Update

As District Counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor pending legislation that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our Community Development District and other Special District clients. It is at this time of year that we summarize those legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session, as follows:

Chapter 2023 – 134, Laws of Florida (SB 346). The legislation requires contracts for construction services between a local government entity and a contractor to include a “punch list”1 of items required to render complete, satisfactory, and acceptable the construction services contracted for, which punch list outlines the estimated cost of each item necessary to complete the work. The law requires local governments to pay all portions of the contract balance, except for 150 percent of the portion of the contract balance attributed to those projects on the punch list, within 20 days after the punch list is created, subject to certain exceptions. The legislation limits a local government’s ability to withhold payment of certain amounts under the contract to only those subject to a written good faith dispute or claims against public surety bonds. The law clarifies that a local government must pay the undisputed portions of a contract within 20 days of the request for payment. Lastly, the legislation amends the definition of “public works project” in section 255.0992, F.S., to include any construction, maintenance, repair, renovation, remodeling, or improvement activity that is paid for with state-appropriated funds. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 17, Laws of Florida (SB 102). The legislation makes various changes and additions to affordable housing related programs and policies at both the state and local level. With regard to local governments, the law:

Preempts local government requirements regarding zoning, density, and height to allow for streamlined development of affordable housing in commercial and mixed- use zoned areas under certain circumstances. Developments that meet the requirements may not require a zoning change or comprehensive plan amendment.

1 The punch list is created within a contractually-specified timeframe after the contractor reaches substantial completion of the construction services as defined in the contract, or if that is not defined, then after the project reaches beneficial occupancy or use. If the contract is valued at less than $10 million, then the punch list must be developed within 30 calendar days; if the contract is valued at $10 million or more, then the punch list must be developed within 45 calendar days.

Removes a local government’s ability to approve affordable housing on residential parcels by bypassing state and local laws that may otherwise preclude such development, while retaining such right for commercial and industrial parcels.
Removes a provision that allows local governments to impose rent control under certain circumstances, preempting rent control ordinances entirely.
Requires counties and cities to update and electronically publish the inventory of publicly owned properties, for counties including property owned by a dependent special district, which may be appropriate for affordable housing development.
Authorizes the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, through contract with the Florida Housing Coalition, to provide technical assistance to local governments to facilitate the use or lease of county or municipal property for affordable housing purposes.
Requires local governments to maintain a public written policy outlining procedures for expediting building permits and development orders for affordable housing projects.
Provides that the Keys Workforce Housing Initiative is an exception to evacuation time requirements and that comprehensive plan and land use amendments approved under that initiative are valid.

The effective date of this act is July 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 31, Laws of Florida (SB 1604). The law makes a number of changes relating to comprehensive plans and land development regulations. Of interest to special districts, section 4 of the legislation amends section 189.031, F.S., to preclude independent special districts from complying with the terms of any development agreement, which is executed within three months preceding the effective date of a law, which modifies the manner of selecting members of the governing body of the special district from election to appointment or appointment to election. The newly elected or appointed governing body of the special district must review within four months of taking office any such development agreement and vote on whether to seek readoption of the agreement. The law applies to any development agreement that is in effect on, or is executed after July 1, 2023, which is the effective date of this law. Section 4 of the Act expires July 1, 2028, unless reviewed and reenacted by the Legislature.

Chapter 2023 – 28, Laws of Florida (HB 3). This legislation codifies and extends the policy adopted by the Trustees2 requiring all investment decisions relating to the state retirement system be based solely on pecuniary factors3. The law extended that policy to all funds managed by the State Board of Administration (SBA), all funds of the state Treasury, all local government retirement plans, investments of local government surplus funds, and investments of funds raised by citizen support and direct-support organizations. Investment managers who invest public funds on behalf of any of these entities may not sacrifice investment return or take additional investment risk to promote any non-pecuniary factor. The law requires any contract between a governmental

2 The Governor, Chief Financial Officer, and Attorney General serve as the SBA’s Board of Trustees.
3 The term “pecuniary factor” is defined as a factor that is expected “to have a material effect on the risk or return of an investment based on appropriate investment horizons consistent with applicable investment objectives and funding policy. The term does not include the consideration of the furtherance of any social, political, or ideological interests.”

entity4 and an investment manager executed, amended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2023, to contain a provision requiring the investment manager to include a disclaimer in an external communication, if the communication is to a company in which the investment manager has invested public funds and discusses social, political, or ideological interests. The required disclaimer must state: “The views and opinions expressed in this communication are those of the sender and do not reflect the views and opinions of the people of the state of Florida.” All contracts with investment managers executed, amended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2023, may be unilaterally terminated if certain communications of an investment manager include discussion of social, political, or ideological interests and omit the required disclaimer.

In addition, the legislation prohibits bond issuers5 from issuing an environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) bond or paying for a third-party verifier that certifies or verifies that a bond may be designated or labeled as an ESG bond6, renders opinions or produces a report on ESG compliance, among other ESG-related services. Issuers are also prohibited from contracting with a rating agency whose ESG scores for the issuer will have a direct, negative impact on the issuer’s bond ratings.

The act further prohibits consideration of social, political, or ideological beliefs in state and local government contracting, and explicitly notes that this includes all political subdivisions of the state. Specifically, the law prohibits an awarding body from (1) requesting documentation or considering a vendor’s social, political, or ideological beliefs when determining if the vendor is a responsible vendor; or (2) giving a preference to a vendor based on the vendor’s social, political, or ideological beliefs.

Lastly, the legislation amends the definition of a “qualified public depository” to prohibit government entities from depositing funds in banks that make it a practice to deny or cancel services of their customers based on a person’s political opinions, speech, affiliations, lawful ownership or sales of firearms, production of fossil fuels or other factors related to ESG. Pursuant to current law, all public deposits may only be deposited in a qualified public depository. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 32, Laws of Florida (SB 258). The legislation bans the use of prohibited applications7 on devices issued to an employee or officer by a public employer, or otherwise used on a network that is owned, operated, or maintained by a public employer. This law requires the Department of Management Services (DMS) to create and maintain a list of prohibited applications of any Internet application that it deems to present a security risk in the form of

4 The law defines “governmental entity” to mean a state, regional, county, municipal, special district, or other political subdivision whether executive, judicial, or legislative, including, but not limited to, a department, division, board, bureau, commission, authority, district, or agency thereof, or a public school, Florida College System institution, state university, or associated board.
5 Any public body corporate and politic authorized or created by general or special law and granted the power to issue bonds.
6 An ESG bond is any bond that has been designated or labeled as a bond that will be used to finance a project with an ESG purpose, including, but not limited to, green bonds, Certified Climate Bonds, GreenStar designated bonds, and other environmental bonds marketed as promoting a generalized or global environmental objective; social bonds marketed as promoting a social objective; and sustainability bonds and sustainable development goal bonds marketed as promoting both environmental and social objectives. It includes bonds self- designated by the issuer as ESG-labeled bonds and those designated as ESG-labeled bonds by a third-party verifier.
7 A “prohibited application” is defined as any application that participates in certain activities, such as conducting cyber-espionage against a public employer, and that is created, maintained, or owned by a foreign principal.

unauthorized access to, or temporary unavailability of the public employer’s records, digital assets, systems, networks, servers, or information. Public employers must block access to any prohibited application via their wireless networks and virtual private networks; restrict access to any prohibited application on any government cell phone, laptop, desktop computer, tablet computer, or other electronic device that can connect to the Internet that has been issued to an employee or officer for a work-related purpose; and retain the ability to remotely wipe and uninstall any prohibited application from any such device that is believed to have been adversely impacted by a prohibited application. The legislation requires an employee or officer of a CDD to remove any prohibited application from his or her government-issued device within 15 days of the DMS’ publication of its list of prohibited applications, and within 15 days of any subsequent update to the list of prohibited applications. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 33, Laws of Florida (SB 264). The legislation restricts the issuance of government contracts or economic development incentives to foreign entities that are owned by, controlled by or organized under the laws of a foreign country of concern8. The law further prohibits a foreign principal9 from owning or acquiring agricultural land or other interests in real property on or within 10 miles of a military installation or critical infrastructure facility. A foreign principal that owns agricultural land acquired before July 1, 2023, may continue to hold such land and must register with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) by January 1, 2024. If the property owned or acquired before July 1, 2023, is on or within 10 miles of a military installation or critical infrastructure facility, the foreign principal must similarly register with the Department of Economic Opportunity by December 31, 2023. The law prohibits the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese Communist Party, its officials and members, other political party official or members, other legal entities or subsidiaries organized under the laws of, or having a principal place of business in, China or its political subdivisions, or other persons domiciled in China, who are not U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States, from purchasing or acquiring an interest in, real property in Florida. Finally, the act amends s. 836.05, F.S., relating to criminal threats and extortion, to provide that a person who violates the statute while acting as a foreign agent for the purpose of benefitting a foreign country of concern, commits a first degree felony. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 264, Laws of Florida (SB 7008). The legislation amends Section 119.071(3)(c)1., F.S., to save from repeal, the public records exemption for information relating to the following information held by an agency:

Building plans;
Blueprints;
Schematic drawings; and

8 The People’s Republic of China, The Russian Federation, The Islamic Republic of Iran, The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, The Republic of Cuba, The Venezuelan Regime of Nicolas Maduro, or The Syrian Arab Republic, including any agency of or other entity within significant control of such foreign country of concern.
9 “Foreign principal” means: The government or any official of the government of a foreign country of concern; A political party or member of a political party or any subdivision of a political party in a foreign country of concern; A partnership, association, corporation, organization, or other combination of persons organized under the laws of, or having its principal place of business in, a foreign country of concern, or a subsidiary of such entity; or o Any person who is domiciled in a foreign country of concern and is not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States.

Diagrams, including draft, preliminary, and final formats, which depict the internal layout or structural elements of an attractions and recreation facility, entertainment or resort complex, industrial complex, retail and service development, office development, health care facility, or hotel or motel development.

The effective date of this act is October 1, 2023.

Chapter 2023 – 75, Laws of Florida (HB 7007). The legislation removes the scheduled repeal date of the public record and public meeting exemptions for security or fire safety system plans under Sections 119.071(3)(a) and 286.0113(1), F.S., thereby maintaining the public record and public meeting exemptions for such plans. The effective date of this act is October 1, 2023.

MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	June 6, 2023

RE:	Required Ethics Training

On May 24, 2023, the Governor signed CS/HB 199 into law as Chapter 2023-121, Laws of Florida. Section 112.3142, Florida Statutes, requires that specified constitutional officers, elected municipal officers, and commissioners complete four (4) hours of ethics training annually. This requirement is noted on page 1 of the Form 1, Statement of Financial Interests. This legislation provides that beginning January 1, 2024, elected and appointed commissioners of community redevelopment agencies and local officers of independent special districts are now required to complete four (4) hours of ethics training annually. The training must address, at a minimum, s. 8, Art. II of the Florida Constitution (ethics for public officers and financial disclosure), the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the Florida Public Records Law and Open Meetings laws. The legislation specifically provides that this training requirement may be satisfied by completing a continuing legal education class or other continuing professional education class or seminar if the required subject matter is covered therein.

For current supervisors and officers, it is recommended that this training requirement be completed by July 1, 2024, so that the supervisor or officer can verify compliance with the required training on his or her Form 1, Statement of Financial Interests (2023). Elected local officers of independent special districts that assume office on or before March 31st must complete annual ethics training by December 31st of the year the term begins; however, if the term starts after March 31st, the officer is not required to complete the required ethics training until December 31st of the following year. The Legislature intends for those elected officers to receive the required training as close as possible to the date that he or she assumes office. The chart below can be used as a reference:

Date elected or appointed	Annual Training Completed By	
Current Officer/Supervisor	December 31, 2024 (recommend completion by
July 1, 2024)	
January 1 – March 31, 2024	December 31, 2024	
April 1 – December 31, 2024	December 31, 2025	

The legislation also amends Section 112.313(a), Florida Statutes, clarifying the conflicts exception for public officers or employees of water control districts (Chapter 298, Florida Statutes)

or a special tax districts created by general (i.e. community development districts) or special law and which is limited specifically to constructing, maintaining, managing, and financing improvements in the land area over which the district has jurisdiction. Employment with or entering into a contractual relationship with a business entity is not prohibited and is not deemed a conflict per se; however, conduct by such officer or employee that is prohibited by or otherwise frustrates the intent of Section 112.313(7), Florida Statutes, including conduct that violates subsections (6) (misuse of public position) and (8) (disclosure of information not otherwise available to the public for personal benefit) thereof is deemed an impermissible conflict of interest.

For convenience, we have included a copy of the legislation referenced in this memorandum. We request that you include this memorandum as part of the agenda packages for upcoming meetings of the governing boards of those special districts in which you serve as the District Manager and this firm serves as District Counsel. You can expect our traditional legislative memorandum in the coming weeks, where we will summarize other legislation from the 2023 Legislative Session relevant to special districts.

CHAPTER 2023-121

Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 199

An act relating to ethics requirements for officers and employees of special tax districts; amending s. 112.313, F.S.; specifying that certain conduct by certain public officers and employees is deemed a conflict of interest; making technical changes; amending s. 112.3142, F.S.; requiring certain ethics training for elected local officers of independent special districts beginning on a specified date; specifying requirements for such training; providing an effective date.

Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1.	Subsection (7) of section 112.313, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
112.313 Standards of conduct for public officers, employees of agencies, and local government attorneys.—
CONFLICTING EMPLOYMENT OR CONTRACTUAL RELATION- SHIP.—
No public officer or employee of an agency shall have or hold any employment or contractual relationship with any business entity or any agency which is subject to the regulation of, or is doing business with, an agency of which he or she is an officer or employee, excluding those organizations and their officers who, when acting in their official capacity, enter into or negotiate a collective bargaining contract with the state or any municipality, county, or other political subdivision of the state; nor shall an officer or employee of an agency have or hold any employment or contractual relationship that will create a continuing or frequently recurring conflict between his or her private interests and the performance of his or her public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his or her public duties.
When the agency referred to is that certain kind of special tax district created by general or special law and is limited specifically to constructing, maintaining, managing, and financing improvements in the land area over which the agency has jurisdiction, or when the agency has been organized pursuant to chapter 298, then employment with, or entering into a contractual relationship with, such business entity by a public officer or employee of such agency is shall not be prohibited by this subsection or be deemed a conflict per se. However, conduct by such officer or employee that is prohibited by, or otherwise frustrates the intent of, this section, including conduct that violates subsections (6) and (8), is shall be deemed a conflict of interest in violation of the standards of conduct set forth by this section.
1

When the agency referred to is a legislative body and the regulatory power over the business entity resides in another agency, or when the regulatory power which the legislative body exercises over the business entity or agency is strictly through the enactment of laws or ordinances, then employment or a contractual relationship with such business entity by a public officer or employee of a legislative body shall not be prohibited by this subsection or be deemed a conflict.
This subsection shall not prohibit a public officer or employee from practicing in a particular profession or occupation when such practice by persons holding such public office or employment is required or permitted by law or ordinance.
Section 2. Paragraphs (d) and (e) of subsection (2) of section 112.3142, Florida Statutes, are redesignated as paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, present paragraph (e) of that subsection is amended, and a new paragraph
(d) is added to that subsection, to read:
112.3142 Ethics training for specified constitutional officers, elected municipal officers, and commissioners of community redevelopment agen- cies, and elected local officers of independent special districts.—
(2)
(d) Beginning January 1, 2024, each elected local officer of an indepen- dent special district, as defined in s. 189.012, and each person who is appointed to fill a vacancy for an unexpired term of such elective office must complete 4 hours of ethics training each calendar year which addresses, at a minimum, s. 8, Art. II of the State Constitution, the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the public records and public meetings laws of this state. This requirement may be satisfied by completion of a continuing legal education class or other continuing professional education class, seminar, or presentation, if the required subject matter is covered by such class, seminar, or presentation.
(f)(e) The Legislature intends that a constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district who is required to complete ethics training pursuant to this section receive the required training as close as possible to the date that he or she assumes office. A constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district assuming a new office or new term of office on or before March 31 must complete the annual training on or before December 31 of the year in which the term of office began. A constitutional officer, or elected municipal officer, or elected local officer of an independent special district assuming a new office or new term of office after March 31 is not required to complete ethics training for the calendar year in which the term of office began.
Section 3.	This act shall take effect July 1, 2023.

Approved by the Governor May 24, 2023.
Filed in Office Secretary of State May 24, 2023.
