OLD BUSINESS
Update on 1st Amendment to Maintenance Agreement between the District and the Association
Mrs. Perez advised the Board that this amendment was still pending finalization, as the Association has yet to sign it. I have provided a hard copy of the same today and will provide an update at the next meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Resolution No. 2024-01 – Electronic Signature Policy

Mrs. Perez presented Resolution No. 2024-01, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2024-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CENTURY PARK PLACE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ESTABLISHING AN ELECTRONIC   SIGNATURE   POLICY,   PROVIDING
Page 2 of 5

DISTRICT MANAGER WITH AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR APPROVAL OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTROL PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE, INTEGRITY, AND SECURITY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHAPTER 688, FLORIDA STATUTES; AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Rodriguez, seconded by Supervisor Cruz and unanimously passed adopting Resolution No. 2024-01, as presented.

Consider Resolution No. 2024-02 – Adopting a Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 and Setting a Public Hearing

Mrs. Perez presented Resolution No. 2024-02, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2024-02

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CENTURY PARK PLACE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON PURSUANT TO FLORIDA LAW AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mrs. Perez advised that the administrative budget was higher than last year. Legal advertising costs will increase due to the closing of the Miami Daily Business Review. This is the fourth year of the 20-year Pavement Replacement Project sinking fund in the amount of $7,050 (this amount is subject to change based on the Engineer’s recommendation). This is the second year of the Stormwater Management Reserve line item ($3,800 per year). Pursuant to the direction of the Board, the District is currently responsible for the maintenance of the stormwater drainage system. The estimated available funds for 9-30-24 are $55,000, should no unforeseen expenses occur. This is in addition to the Pavement Replacement Reserve (currently at $7,282).

A carryover balance of $12,600 has been applied ($10,154 was issued last year). The District can probably give similar carryover balances for another year or two without having to raise assessments unless any projects or unforeseen costs should occur.

Because the overall assessment for 2024/2025 is currently lower than the 2023/2024 assessment, no letters to residents would be needed.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Rodriguez, seconded by Cruz and unanimously passed adopting Resolution No. 2024-02, as presented, approving a Proposed Budget for FY 2024/2025 and Setting the Public Hearing for finalization for May 6, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the Big Five Club located at 600 SW 92nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33174; and further authorizing the advertisement as required.

Consider Auto Turn Analysis Proposals

Page 3 of 5

Mrs. Perez noted that Mr. Alvarez had sent notes/recommendation via e-mail; “For the driveway project at Century Park Place CDD, I think Southern Asphalt has the best description of the work and the lowest price, and they are asking for 100% payment upon completion, which is a good payment condition.” It was determined that the modifications would need to be conducted on Miami-Dade County owned and maintained infrastructure and therefore the Board determined that the project was not feasible to the District and the direction from the Board was unanimous for no further actions to be taken on this matter.

ADMINISTRATIVE & OPERATIONAL MATTERS
Financial Update

Mrs. Perez presented the financial statement through February 2024 pointing out that available funds as of January 30, 2024, were $117,839.70.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Ferrer, seconded by Cruz and passed unanimously ratifying and approving the financials, as presented.

BOARD MEMBER & STAFF CLOSING COMMENTS
District Counsel Memorandum Regarding Required Ethics Training and Financial Disclosure

Mr. George provided an overview of the Memorandum Regarding Required Ethics Training and Financial Disclosure provided in the meeting materials, noting the recent changes for the filing of the Form 1 Financial Disclosure that will now be filed online.
Page 4 of 5

Mrs. Perez advised the Board that the Storm Drainage Inspection for District was conducted on January 5, 2024, and it was determined that cleaning was not required for any of the structures at this time. Therefore, no actions are recommended.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business, the Regular Board Meeting was adjourned at 7:29 p.m. on a
MOTION made by Supervisor Cruz, seconded by Supervisor Ferrer. There were no objections.

MEMORANDUM
TO:	District Manager

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

DATE:	July 12, 2024

RE:	2024 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 2024 – 136, Laws of Florida (HB 7013). The legislation establishes a 12- year term limit for members of popularly elected bodies governing independent special districts, excluding terms starting before November 5, 2024, and excluding certain districts. Supervisors of Community Development Districts (CDDs) do not have term limits. The act provides that the boundaries of independent special districts may only be changed by general law or special act. The law revises criteria for declaring special districts inactive, to include those with no revenue, expenditures, or debt for five consecutive fiscal years, and extends the objection period for proposed inactive status declarations from 21 to 30 days. The law stipulates that a special district deemed inactive can only use funds to service outstanding debt and fulfill existing bond covenants and contractual obligations. Additionally, the law repeals section 163.3756, F.S., to align the regulations for Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) with those applicable to other special districts. The bill repeals sections 165.0615 and 190.047, F.S., which allow independent special districts and CDDs, respectively, to convert to a municipality without legislative approval.

Performance Measures and Standards

The legislation also mandates special districts to establish goals, objectives, performance measures, and standards for each program and activity they undertake by October 1, 2024, or the end of their first full fiscal year, and to report annually on their achievements and performance. Furthermore, by December 1 of each subsequent year, each district must produce an annual report detailing the goals and objectives it has accomplished, the performance measures and standards used for evaluation, and any goals or objectives that were not met. The annual report must be published on the District’s website.

For independent special fire control districts, the bill requires reporting on volunteer firefighter training by October 1 annually.

The legislation reduces the maximum ad valorem millage rate for mosquito control districts from 10 mills to one mill, allowing an increase to two mills via referendum, and requires submission of work plans and budgets to receive state funds. Lastly, the law prohibits the creation of new Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDs) after July 1, 2024, and mandates a performance review of existing NIDs by September 30, 2025.

The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 80, Laws of Florida (HB 433). The legislation prohibits political subdivisions from establishing, mandating, or requiring employers, including those contracting with political subdivisions, to meet heat exposure requirements not mandated by state or federal law. The law clarifies that it does not limit the authority of political subdivisions to establish heat exposure requirements1 for their direct employees. Effective September 30, 2026, the law amends Florida’s wage and employment benefits law, prohibiting political subdivisions from controlling or affecting wages or employment benefits provided by vendors, contractors, service providers, or other parties through purchasing or contracting procedures. In addition the law prohibits using wages or employment benefits as evaluation factors or awarding preferences based on them. The law removes the ability of local governments to require a minimum wage for certain employees under contract terms and states that these revisions do not impair contracts entered into before September 30, 2026. Lastly, this act prohibits local governments from adopting or enforcing regulations on employee scheduling, including predictive scheduling, by private employers except as expressly authorized or required by state or federal law, rule, regulation, or federal grant requirements. Except as otherwise provided, the effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 204, Laws of Florida (HB 149). The legislation raises the maximum limit for continuing contracts under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) from an estimated per-project construction cost of $4 million to $7.5 million, with an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Starting July 1, 2025, and annually thereafter, the Department of Management Services (DMS) is mandated to adjust the maximum allowable amount for each project in a continuing contract according to the change in the June-to-June CPI for All Urban Consumers, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. DMS is required to publish the adjusted amount on its website. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 202, Laws of Florida (HB 59). The legislation amends section 720.303, F.S., requiring Homeowner Associations (HOAs) to provide a physical or digital copy of the HOA’s rules and covenants to all members by October 1, 2024. This requirement extends to all new members upon joining and includes providing updated copies whenever amendments to the rules or covenants occur. HOAs are authorized to set standards for the distribution method and timing for these documents. The law also stipulates that HOAs maintain certain official records, such as the HOA’s declaration of covenants and any amendments, within the state for at least seven years. These records must be accessible to parcel owners for inspection or copying, either physically or electronically. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024

1 A standard to control an employee’s exposure to heat or sun and mitigate its effects. This includes employee monitoring, water consumption, cooling measures, acclimation periods, informational notices, heat exposure programs, first-aid measures, protections for reporting heat exposure, and related reporting and recordkeeping.

Chapter 2024 – 221, Laws of Florida (HB 1203). The legislation establishes educational requirements for community association managers (CAMs) and HOA directors. By January 1, 2025, HOAs with 100 or more parcels must post certain official records on their website or application. It allows parcel owners to request a detailed accounting of any amounts owed to the HOA, and if not provided, the board forfeits any outstanding fine under specific conditions. The bill prohibits HOAs and their committees from imposing requirements on the interior of structures not visible from the frontage, adjacent property, common areas, or golf courses. The law also forbids the need for HOA or committee approval for central air-conditioning, heating, or ventilating systems if not visible from the frontage, adjacent property, common area, or golf course, and if they are similar to approved systems. Criminal penalties are introduced for HOA officers, directors, or managers accepting kickbacks. Additionally, HOAs cannot prevent homeowners from installing vegetable gardens and clotheslines in non-visible areas, and certain HOA election voting activities are classified as a first-degree misdemeanor. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 44, Laws of Florida (HB 621). The legislation establishes section 82.036, F.S., creating a process for removing unauthorized persons (squatters) from residential property. Property owners or their authorized agents can file a verified complaint with the county sheriff, who, upon verifying the complainant's identity and ownership, must serve notice to the occupants to vacate immediately. The law grants immunity to the sheriff and property owner for any property loss or damage unless the removal is wrongful. It also establishes a civil cause of action for wrongful removal, allowing the wrongfully removed party to seek damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 147, Laws of Florida (SB 7020). The legislation amends section 1.01, F.S., the statute defining “registered mail,” to broaden the range of acceptable delivery services for meeting statutory registered mail requirements in the state. The new definition of "registered mail" now explicitly includes any delivery service by the U.S. Postal Service or a private delivery service that provides proof of mailing or shipping and proof of delivery, confirmed by a receipt signed by the addressee or a responsible person at the delivery address. Additionally, "return receipt requested" is defined to encompass delivery confirmation services by the U.S. Postal Service or private delivery services that offer similar proof of delivery. These amendments are remedial in nature and apply retroactively. The effective date of this act is May 6, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 263, Laws of Florida (HB 321). This legislation specifies that any individual who intentionally releases, organizes the release of, or causes the release of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gas commits an act of littering and is subject to corresponding penalties2. However, children aged six or younger who engage in such activities are exempt from noncriminal littering infractions and associated penalties. The bill removes the exemption for balloons deemed biodegradable or photodegradable by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation rules. It also eliminates the provision allowing citizens to petition a circuit court to prevent the release of ten or more balloons. Additionally, the bill revises definitions in section 403.413, F.S., the Florida Litter Law, to include:

2 The penalty for littering generally corresponds to the amount of litter discarded. ≤ 15 pounds or ≤ 27 cubic feet = Noncriminal infraction, punishable by a civil penalty of $150. > 15 pounds but ≤ 500 pounds or > 27 cubic feet but ≤ 100 cubic feet = First-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. > 500 pounds or > 100 cubic feet = Third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. It is the duty of all law enforcement officers to enforce Florida’s Litter Law.

“Dump,” specifying that it encompasses the intentional release, organization of the release, or causation of the release of balloons.
“Litter,” explicitly adding balloons to the definition.
The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.
