Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget (Suggested Date: July 10, 2024) and Setting the Public Hearing on the Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Budget
Ms. Burns stated the Board has to approve a preliminary budget by June 15th each year and this sets the assessment cap amount. They cannot exceed the per lot assessment without sending a mailed notice beyond what they have noticed. If this budget does not contemplate an increase to the platted lots currently in the community, unless there are items that would be added that would increase beyond what is seen here, the assessments will stay the same. The reason there is not an increase is the developer is going to deficit fund a portion of the budget this year in order to keep assessments the same while still under development. She noted they are setting their cap and can rearrange line items or allocate funds within the budget just can’t increase beyond what the current year assessment is, which is $1,083.22 per lot.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors	Requests	and	Audience
Comments
Audience Comments:
Steve McCall – Commented on weeds in dog park/people not picking up behind their dogs. Does Lake Alfred take care of the roads? Ms. Burns noted a reminder can be sent to dog owners. Yes, Lake Alfred owns the roads.
Resident – Commented on odd security guard/lifeguard at pool. Has video of the hogs. Light at mailbox doesn’t work. Number of guests at pool? Can outside residents use pool? Mosquito problem, nails dropped in roads damaging tires. Ms. Burns noted the guard was

replaced, mailbox light will be reviewed, the number of guests per household is limited. Florida Statute requires they offer a non-resident user fee. Call or email City of Lake Alfred about road/tire issue. The CDD owns common areas & amenities. HOA has jurisdiction over private lots.
Resident (Nathan) – Commented the common area on the North side of his home isn’t being mowed and the dog park has weeds and sandspurs. Light out at 625 with wires. Mr. Tindall will let landscaper know this area is getting missed. Ms. Burns noted lights are owned/maintained by the utility provider but will report it.
Resident (Griffin) – How often is dog park maintenanced? Mr. Tindall noted mowing is 42 times per year. If Board allows, he will have the landscaper do a treatment for sandspurs.
Resident – Questioned speed limit signs. Ms. Burns noted the roads are owned by Lake Alfred so traffic enforcement signage is through Lake Alfred.
Resident – Asked about hiring a security guard. Ms. Burns noted the security contract has a camera system with remote guarding and motion sensors when pool is closed. Guard presence 16 hours a week at peak hours. The guard is to enforce pool rules. Residents need to be at pool with their guests.
Resident- Asked if CDD is 25-30 years. Ms. Burns noted the bond portion of the CDD payment is 30 years from the issuance date. O&M is always in place. Ms. Burns noted she can give the payoff quote on the debt portion and it can be paid off at any time. There is some savings with paying it off up front. The debt assessment runs with the land no matter who the owner is. Next Landowner’s election is November 2025.

Ms. Burns adjourned the meeting.

On MOTION by Ms. Henley, seconded by Ms. Petrucci, with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned.
