Key Legal Considerations for Supervisors

Chapter 190, Florida Statutes
Sets forth all powers and responsibilities of CDDs
If Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, does not grant the power, the CDD – and therefore Supervisors acting in their capacity as Supervisors of the CDD – cannot do it.
Keep in mind:
CDD has limited authority.
CDD must comply with applicable laws, including City and County ordinances.

Comply with the Law – Sunshine Law
The Government in the Sunshine Law (a/k/a Open Records Law), see Chapter 286, Florida Statutes & Article I, s. 24, Constitution of the State of Florida
Constitutional and statutory right of public access to governmental proceedings, at state or local level
Applies to any gathering of two or more members of the same Board to discuss some matter which may foreseeably come before that Board for action.
Includes phone calls, text messages, emails, social media
Applies to conversations with other Board members, not with Staff
Such discussions can only take place at a meeting that is: (1) noticed, (2) open to the public, and (3) where minutes are taken.
A quorum (3/5 Supervisors) must be physically present to make any decisions

Other Sunshine Law Considerations
Do not use other individuals (Staff, neighbors, etc.) as a conduit to have a conversation between Supervisors.
	Reasonable notice is required for all Board meetings. This means notice must be published in the newspaper and an agenda should be posted at least 7 days in advance.
An opportunity for public comment is required before the Board takes action.
	The public must be allowed to attend meetings, but the District is NOT required to provide a means for electronic attendance for the public.
Secret voting is not allowed.
Minutes do not have to be a verbatim transcript.
	Committees may be subject to the Sunshine Law if they have decision-making authority

Narrow Exceptions to Sunshine Law
Only those exemptions or exceptions expressly provided in Florida law are permitted.
Examples:
Pending litigation
Security and fire safety system details

Penalties for Violating Sunshine Law
Criminal penalties:
Knowing violation is a 2nd degree misdemeanor which can result in sentences of 60 days’ imprisonment and fine of up to
$500
Civil fines up to $500
Civil lawsuits:
Must pay attorneys’ fees (can be against individuals involved), but no damages are awardable
Removal from office
Action is considered to be invalid but can cure

Comply with the Law – Public Records
With limited exceptions, documents related to District business must be preserved as public records and produced when requested.
We recommend using a separate e-mail address for all District business and keeping any hard copy files in a separate and easy-to-access place.
Forward any public records requests to the District Manager for processing

Comply with the Law – Ethics Law
Supervisors are subject to many of the same ethics laws as county and city officials.
Supervisors must make required financial disclosures. The District Manager will provide the required forms (Form 1).
Do not accept a bribe.
Avoid conflicts of interest.
If there is ever an item before you for a vote that would provide a special benefit to you, a business associate, or a close family member, let District Counsel know so proper steps may be taken.
See Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, for other ethical considerations

Finance Basics

Annual Budget
Fiscal Year runs from October 1 to September 30.
Proposed budget must be adopted before June 15 each year
Final budget must be adopted after a public hearing before October 1 each year.
Describes anticipated expenditures and sources of funds.
Available on the District’s website: https://www.
https://villagesofwestportcdd.com
Funds may be moved amongst line items by motion, but large changes may require an amendment by resolution

What are Bonds?
Long term, tax-exempt financing available to the CDD because it is a unit of government with authority to issue long-term, tax-exempt debt.
Must be validated by a court and comply with Florida law.
May be repaid over up to 30 years.
Spreading costs over a longer period makes costs more manageable for homeowners.
Costs only paid at the time you own your house – assessments run with the land, not the property owner.
May be refunded to obtain better interest rates

What are Assessments?
Debt Assessments
Levied to repay bonds
One-time mailed and published notices and public hearing required
Usually collected on the County tax roll

Operations & Maintenance Assessments
Levied	to	pay	annual	administrative,	operational,	and	general maintenance costs of the District – adopted annually with budget
Includes reserves and amounts for maintaining current infrastructure
Mailed and published notices and public hearing required to increase above last noticed amount
Usually collected on the County tax roll

Annual Audit
Required by statute
Must be completed by June 30 each year (unless an earlier deadline applies for bonds).

Board of Supervisors
The CDD is controlled by an elected 5-member Board of Supervisors.

1 acre of land = 1 vote (partial acres are rounded up).
Candidates must be Florida residents and U.S. citizens.
Phase 2: General Qualified Electors
Beginning six years after the initial appointment of Supervisors and once the CDD has at least 250 qualified electors, Supervisors begin to be elected through the general election process.
Supervisors elected through the General Election process must be qualified electors (residents of the District who are at least 18 years old and registered to vote in Polk County) and serve four-year terms with staggered expiration dates

Separate published notice
Separate public comment opportunity

Best Practices for Supervisors

Social Media
Because of the Sunshine Law, once a Supervisor posts on social media, another Supervisor should not respond to the post.
Our recommendation is to avoid using social media for District business on an individual level.
If you do post on a social media page, create a copy of that page, and submit it promptly to the District Manager’s office.
DO NOT delete posts.
If in doubt about the accuracy of any planned posts, please consult with District Manager first or direct residents to the District Manager for follow-up.
If you want to set up your own Facebook or other account where District business will be discussed, please consult further with District Manager and District Counsel first. There will be technological requirements the Board needs to consider.
Use person-to-person contact, e-mail and telephone as your primary, or sole, means of communication with your constituents.

Prepare for Board Meetings,
Workshops, and Conference Calls
Anticipate questions regarding your positions on issues that are on the agenda.
Make sure others are prepared. For example, if you have an engineering question, give the District Engineer notice before the meeting.
Meeting time is limited and valuable. All questions on the materials in the agenda package should be raised to Staff in advance of the meeting.
Identify issues that may need input from District Counsel or the District Engineer in advance. We can help you be proactive in preventing future problems and creating efficient agenda items for Board action.

Be Organized
Avoid requesting last minute agenda items unless time is of the essence.
Avoid audio and/or visual issues. Let staff know in advance if you have a PowerPoint or electronic presentation.
Be consistent with treatment of the audience and do not perpetuate bad habits. For example, it is “audience comments,” not “audience questions.” Do not invite questions from the audience unless the Board has a formal policy to do so.
While it may seem awkward to tell your neighbor to wait until audience comments to provide input, that is how effective governments operate.

Respect Fellow Board Members and Staff
Board Members
In a meeting, on social media, or in conversations in the community
Rarely will commenting negatively on another Board member help the community
Keep criticism to “positions,” not “people”
Staff
If you have concerns with a Staff member (other than the District Counsel or District Engineer who report directly to the Board), speak to the District Manager. If not resolved, bring it to the Board’s attention for discussion.
If you have concerns with the District Counsel or District Engineer, speak to them. If not resolved, bring it to the Board’s attention for discussion.

Avoid Micromanagement
The most successful Boards do not micromanage Staff or engage in the day-to-day operation of the District.
Micromanagement is problematic for many reasons:
It creates potential liability for the individual Board member.
It creates potential liability for the District.
It waters down the protections the District bargained for when it hired an independent contractor.
It creates uncertainty with Staff as to who Staff should take direction from.
It is inefficient governance.
It causes friction with other Board members who may not feel the same way.

Villages of Westport Board of Supervisors,

Over the past several years Vesta has worked hard to provide value to the District. In a short period of time we have weathered a great deal of changes including eight different Board members, three District Managers and two district management companies. Additionally, out of a spirit of partnership, Vesta delayed collection of multiple invoices when the District was having difficulties paying their bills.
We feel that the current circumstances and demands are unsustainable, therefore as of today we are issuing notice of sixty (60) days to terminate our contract. We believe that now is a good time for the Board to reprioritize what services they desire and what resources they want to allocate so it is clear to both the service provider and the board members what the expectations are and that they are resourced accordingly. We are happy to work with all parties on a successful transition and support an RFP or whatever course of action the Board desires.
We appreciate the opportunity to have served the residents of Villages of Westport and look forward to working with you on the transition.

Respectfully, Dan Fagen
Regional General Manager

Contractor shall top dress all currently landscaped areas as shown on the maintenance with the mulch types and specifications provided herein. In doing so, Contractor shall ensure that all mulched areas are brought to a minimum depth of three (3) inches after compaction. Contractor is responsible for all necessary clean up related to this procedure.
Contractor agrees to provide reasonably neat and defined lines along edges of all mulched areas. In addition to the aesthetics of this, it is also done to facilitate mechanical edging of these areas. Additionally, Contractor shall properly trench all bedlines adjacent to concrete surfaces. Trenches shall be 3” deep and beveled. Mulched beds on slopes adjacent to turf shall also be trenched to a depth of 3” & beveled to reduce mulch washout. This procedure has not been practiced in the past and Contractor is to include any additional labor in the cost of the mulch for all trenching. Mulch shall not be piled around tree trunks or bases of plants. Any mulch “volcanoes” around tree trunks shall be corrected immediately at no additional cost to Owner.

Contractor agrees to ensure that mulch caught in plant material will be shaken or blown from plants, so that upon completion there is no plant material left covered with mulch.

If, after installation is complete and it is determined that additional mulch is required to attain the required total depth of 3”, sufficient mulch shall be supplied by Contractor at no additional cost to District.

Contractor shall provide a price per cubic yard and estimated quantities to be installed per top dressing (based on his own field measurements) and shall submit with bid for future work.
