CENTURY PARK PLACE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING
AUGUST 7, 2023

CALL TO ORDER

Mrs. Perez called the August 7, 2023, Regular Board Meeting of the Century Park Place Community Development District (the “District”) to order at 7:00 p.m. at the Big Five Club located at 600 SW 92nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33174.

PROOF OF PUBLICATION

Mrs. Perez presented proof of publication that notice of the Regular Board Meeting had been published in the Miami Daily Business Review on October 25, 2022, as part of the District’s Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Meeting Schedule, as legally required.

ESTABLISH A QUORUM

Mrs. Perez determined that a quorum had NOT been established with the attendance of Chairman Diego Cruz and Supervisor Leonardo Ferrer.

Also in attendance were: District Manager Gloria Perez of Special District Services, Inc.; District Counsel Ginger Wald of Billing Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A.; and District Engineer Juan Alvarez of Alvarez Engineering.

Also present was Joe Goudie of Trans Florida.

As there was no quorum, Ms. Wald advised that since we were in a location and time that was properly advertised for a public meeting; the Board could conduct a Workshop and discuss items, but no motions could be made.

The Board Members agreed to the Workshop specifically to discuss Agenda Item H.2 regarding the Miami-Dade County Sidewalk Flare located at the West Entrance of SW 92nd Avenue & SW 5th Lane and a discussion ensued. Mr. Goudie provided information regarding the area, recommending that the area not be built as originally designed because it would narrow the road by approximately 10’, making the entrance more difficult for larger vehicles. Mr. Alvarez advised that he would look into this further and indicated that he would present options for the Board to review and consider at a future meeting.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business, the Workshop Meeting was adjourned at 7:40 p.m. on a MOTION
made by Supervisor Cruz, seconded by Supervisor Ferrer. There were no objections.

Subject: Century Park Place Analysis of Driveway at SW 92 Ave and 5 Lane

Good morning, Gloria:

As requested at the CDD meeting last August 7th, we have analyzed the possibility of reconstructing the south end of the existing driveway to improve the turning radii of the vehicles entering the community.

The analysis shows that if the existing ramp at the south end of the driveway is moved 8 feet to the south, and the interior pavement widened, then the passenger vehicles and the side-loader garbage trucks should be able to enter the community without hitting the ramp as shown in the two Autoturn exhibits attached.

Please let me know if you need anything else from us at this time. Thank you
Juan R. Alvarez, P.E.

Century Park Place CDD
2023 Report

Alvarez Engineers recommends considering the following suggestions for maintenance budgets:

District Roads
Funds will be needed to replace the wearing roadway asphalt layer in about 17 years, when the asphalt has reached its estimated 20-year service life. Funds will also be needed to update signs and markings on the roadways when asphalt is replaced and subsequently restored every 10 years. The District Board of Supervisors may decide whether to create a sinking fund to finance the future capital expense over the next 17 years or to pay a lump sum amount at the end of the asphalt service life. The table below provides the estimated future replacement cost and the estimated annual contributions over the remaining service life to fund the expense. The calculations below assume an annual interest rate of 0.25%.

Stormwater Management System
The following is a suggested 5-year cyclical program for servicing the inlets, manholes, pipes, and French drains of the drainage system. The program consists of servicing 20% of the system every year so that at the end of the fifth year, 100% of the system will have been serviced. The table below shows the estimated amount that would need to be budgeted yearly to service the 18 drainage structures and 1,906 Linear Feet of pipes in the District. The program may be financed yearly or in one lump sum when needed, at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors.

The water and sewer systems are maintained, operated, and funded by WASD, which may be contacted at 305-274-9272 (for emergencies) or at 305-665-7477 (for customer service).

Insurance

Alvarez Engineers has reviewed the District’s general liability, hired non-owned auto, employment practices liability and public officials’ liability coverage insurance policy proposed by Florida Insurance Alliance under Agreement No. 100122306 for the period between October 1, 2022 and October 1, 2023. The District has budgeted $6,600 which are enough funds to cover the $6,134 insurance premium.

This report was prepared to the best of my knowledge and belief and is based on field observations conducted by Alvarez Engineers’ personnel, the District Engineer’s Report, and public documents available.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 305-640-1345 or at Juan.Alvarez@Alvarezeng.com.

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.
