VENETIAN ISLES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING
JULY 28, 2026

CALL TO ORDER

District Manager Nancy Nguyen called the July 28, 2026, Venetian Isles Community Development District (the “District”) Regular Board Meeting to order at approximately 7:06 p.m. in the Venetian Isles Community Clubhouse located at 15355 Egret Lake Circle, Miami, Florida 33185.

PROOF OF PUBLICATION

Ms. Nguyen presented proof of publication that notice of the Regular Board Meeting had been published in the Miami Herald on November 7, 2025, as part of the District’s Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Regular Meeting Schedule, as legally required.

ESTABLISH A QUORUM

Ms. Nguyen determined that the attendance of Chairman David Mattison, Vice Chairman David Marquez, and Supervisors Antonietta Azrak (who arrived at approximately 7:11 p.m.), and Carlos Prieto constituted a quorum, and it was in order to proceed with the meeting.

Staff members in attendance were: District Manager Nancy Nguyen of Special District Services, Inc.; and District Counsel Liza Smoker of Billing Cochran, P.A.

Also in attendance was: Juan Calderon of Caltran Engineering Group, Inc.

Also in attendance were the following District residents: Harry Coleman, Michelle Coleman, and Eduardo Molieri.

Ms. Nguyen stated that as a courtesy to the District’s guest, Juan Calderon of Caltran Engineering Group, Inc. (Caltran), she would like to take the meeting agenda out of order and discuss agenda item
G. Old Business, Item 1. Update Regarding Egret Lakes Circle Channelized Medians Mock-Up. The Board acknowledged Ms. Nguyen’s request.
NOTE: Item G.1. was discussed at this time.

ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA

There were no additions or deletions to the agenda.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

There were no comments from the members of the public.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
May 26, 2026, Regular Board Meeting and Public Hearing

Ms. Nguyen presented the minutes of the May 26, 2026, Regular Board Meeting and Public Hearing and asked if there were any changes and/or corrections. There being no comments or changes, a motion was made by Mr. Marquez, seconded by Mr. Prieto and passed unanimously approving the minutes of the May 26, 2026, Regular Board Meeting and Public Hearing, as presented.

OLD BUSINESS
Update Regarding Flow of Traffic on Egret Lakes Circle (Caltran Engineering) NOTE: This item was discussed following Item C.
Mr. Calderon of Caltran greeted the Board and explained that he would provide information on the channelized medians mock-up requested by the Board.

NOTE: Ms. Azrak arrived at approximately 7:11 p.m.

Mr. Calderon explained that Miami-Dade County required engineering plans when making any kind of modification to roadways. As such, the District will not be able to test out the median modifications on Egret Lakes Circle without preparing such plans. Mr. Calderon additionally stated that in order to prepare a proper proposal for the installation of temporary delineators or to make any temporary modifications to Egret Lakes Circle, he would need the Board to specify the area where such installations will be made.

The Board discussed the areas of concern indicated in the traffic study prepared for the District. The Board determined that SW 30^th Street was the area of greatest concern of motorists traveling in the wrong direction on Egret Lakes Circle. Accordingly, the Board requested that Mr. Calderon prepare a proposal for temporary modifications at the intersection of SW 30^th Street and Egret Lakes Circle.

Mr. Calderon explained that there were several options available for temporary delineators. Ms. Nguyen requested that Mr. Calderon prepare the proposal based on the cost of the most attractive delineator option, thereby providing the Board with the highest potential cost. Ms. Nguyen further explained that the Board could reduce the cost, if desired, by selecting a different product type.

Mr. Calderon acknowledged the Board’s request and stated that he would provide the proposal to Ms. Nguyen upon completion for review by the Board at an upcoming meeting.
NOTE: Item D. was discussed at this time.
Discussion Regarding Arborist Report (Sienna Trees & Main Area Trees)

Ms. Nguyen explained that following the last District meeting, she requested that BrightView provide her with an updated proposal which only includes mitigation of the trees in the Sienna subdivision (removal and replacement of 15 trees). Ms. Nguyen further explained that upon her request, a BrightView representative informed her that the original proposal submitted to the District was incorrectly quoted. Ms. Nguyen added that when District staff inquired about the nature of the discrepancy, they were informed that the employee who prepared the original proposal was no longer leading this project, and therefore, they were unable to provide an explanation regarding the amounts previously submitted to the District. District staff were further advised that the revised proposal amount would be significantly higher than originally quoted. As such, an updated proposal was requested from Super Landscape & Maintenance to only include the Sienna subdivision.

Ms. Nguyen presented a cost comparison schedule noting the updated costs for the tree mitigation in Sienna as follows:
BrightView Landscape Services: $86,711.95
Super Landscape & Maintenance: $34,735.90
Green Wise Group: $46,542.20 (Green Wise Group cannot provide landscape architect plans. As such, an estimated $10,000 was added to their proposal of $36,542.20).
Ms. Nguyen informed the Board that all contractors had recommended the removal and replacement of additional trees, however, these proposals were based on the trees categorized as necessary removals as indicated in the arborist report prepared by Green Wise Group.

The Board commented on the significant increase in the proposal from BrightView Landscape Services. The Board requested that Ms. Nguyen obtain two (2) additional proposals to present at the next scheduled meeting. Ms. Nguyen acknowledged the Board’s request.

Discussion Regarding Venetian Isles Master Association ACC Report

Ms. Nguyen stated that she had received the renderings and specifications depicting the proposed dimensions and locations of the paved areas being contemplated by the Venetian Isles Master Association (the “HOA”) for the Sienna subdivision.

Ms. Nguyen advised that she forwarded the renderings and specifications to the District Engineer for review. The District Engineer indicated that there were no objections to the proposed improvements with respect to the materials being considered. The District Engineer further advised that the contractor engaged by the HOA for the improvements should be a registered architect, and to ensure that they were compliant with ADA requirements. The District Engineer also recommended that signed and sealed plans be maintained and made available to the District.

The Board and Sienna residents in attendance reviewed the renderings and discussed the proposed improvements. The Board and residents expressed their expectation that the improvements would be visually impactful and create an attractive and functional area that would appeal to residents.
The Board and residents requested that Ms. Nguyen inquire as to the amount of funds being allocated toward the proposed improvements by the HOA. The Sienna residents noted that they were assessed as part of the recent HOA special assessment even though the special assessment included, among other items, repairs and improvements to the entrance gates, trees, and sidewalks, all which do not apply to the Sienna subdivision. Ms. Nguyen acknowledged the Board’s request.

Discussion Regarding Illegal Parking/Stopping on District Roads

Ms. Nguyen stated that her request was still being reviewed by the Office of Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez. If an approval is obtained, the Police Department’s legal department will consider entering into an enforcement agreement with the District. Ms. Nguyen will continue to communicate with Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez’s office and will provide additional information on this item at a future meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
Discussion Regarding Palm Tree Trimming

Ms. Nguyen advised that Plantbrothers was in the process of trimming all the District owned palm trees.

Mr. Mattison asked if Ms. Nguyen inquired about wrapping the palm trees to catch falling palm fronds. Ms. Nguen informed Mr. Mattison that she would present some information regarding this matter at an upcoming meeting.

ADMINISTRATIVE & OPERATION MATTERS
2026 Supervisor of Elections Candidate Results
Ms. Nguyen reminded the Board that there were two (2) seats whose terms were expiring in November 2026. Those seats are Seat 3 (currently held by David Mattison), and Seat 4 (currently held by Carlos Prieto). Ms. Nguyen stated that Carlos Prieto ran unopposed for Seat 4. She further explained that David Mattison did not run for his seat and Roberto Vich ran unopposed for Seat 3. Ms. Nguyen explained that the new office terms for Seats 3 and 4 would commence on the second Tuesday following the general election (November 17, 2026).

BOARD MEMBERS & STAFF CLOSING COMMENTS
There were no further Board Member comments.
Ms. Nguyen stated that next District meeting was scheduled for September 22, 2026.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Mr. Mattison, seconded by Mr. Marquez and passed unanimously adjourning the Regular Board Meeting at approximately 8:52 p.m.

Venetian Isles CDD (Sienna)
Tree Mitigation, Permitting & Landscape Compliance Proposal Prepared for: Special District Services, Inc.

Super Landscape & Maintenance provides a specialized, fully integrated solution for communities and commercial properties navigating tree mitigation requirements, property re-certifications, and related landscape compliance projects. Rather than requiring multiple vendors, consultants, and contractors, our team offers a single-source delivery model that can include Certified Arborist assessments and consulting, landscape architectural and site plan preparation, permitting coordination with Miami-Dade County and applicable municipal agencies, execution of tree mitigation work, root barrier installation, required replacement planting, and long-term landscape maintenance services where desired. With 28 years in business and a multi-discipline operating structure built around accountability and execution, we pride ourselves on delivering technically sound, code-conscious, and cost-effective solutions while reducing communication gaps and administrative burden for ownership and management teams. The result is a more efficient project experience, clearer expectations, and a seamless final product delivered under one roof.

Line Item Pricing
Tree Removals (15 trees): $8,835.90

Root barriers (26 trees + 15 new trees): $10,660.00 Section Total: $19,495.90

Tree Mitigation Planting – Basis of Pricing, Species Selection & Budgetary Installation Options
Final mitigation quantities and associated replacement planting costs may vary based on Miami-Dade County’s final determination of the total canopy square footage required to be mitigated. To assist with planning and budgeting, several approved replacement tree species are included below, each of which qualifies as a Medium Shade Tree (Category 2) under applicable County standards and provides 300 square feet of canopy mitigation credit per tree.

These species have been intentionally selected not only for their mitigation value, but also because they are generally considered to have less aggressive root systems, making them a more suitable long-term choice for this property and helping reduce the likelihood of similar root-related issues in the future. While Miami-Dade County also recognizes certain Large Shade

Wooden Trees (Category 1) as approved mitigation options, many species within that classification may develop more invasive root systems over time.
In our professional opinion, the Medium Shade Tree (Category 2) options presented below typically offer the best overall balance of cost efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and long-term site preservation. Final mitigation quantities and costs will remain subject to the County’s required canopy replacement calculations, approved mitigation plan, and the client’s final species selection from the applicable approved list.

Recommended Species
(Selected based on resilience, canopy development, and overall aesthetic value)

Bulnesia arborea (Verawood) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Conocarpus erectus var. sericeus (Silver Buttonwood) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Coccoloba diversifolia (Pigeon Plum) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Elaeocarpus decipiens (Japanese Blueberry) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Filicium decipiens (Japanese Fern Tree) – 25 gal, 7' height, 1" caliper

More Colorful Options
(Less preferred due to reduced durability and greater susceptibility to disease and insect pressure)
Tabebuia caraiba (Yellow Tabebuia) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Tabebuia impetiginosa (Purple Tabebuia) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Tabebuia heterophylla (Pink Tabebuia) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1.5" caliper
Cordia sebestena (Orange Geiger) – 25 gal, 8' height, 1" caliper

Mitigation Installation – Budgetary Pricing Options
For estimating purposes, the following mitigation installation pricing is based on an estimated quantity of 15 replacement trees. Final mitigation quantities may be more or less than 16trees, as the final required planting count will be based on the total canopy square footage lost, Miami-Dade County’s final mitigation requirements, the approved mitigation plan, and the final species selected. Accordingly, mitigation planting should not be assumed to be a direct one-for-one replacement of removed trees.
Option 1 – Preferred Species (Recommended)
Based on the recommended species listed herein and budgeted at $575.00 per tree, delivered, installed, and braced as needed.
Estimated Quantity: 15 trees
Unit Price: $575.00 each
Estimated Total: $8,625.00

Option 2 – Alternate Lower-Cost Species
As an alternate pricing scenario, lower-cost approved mitigation species may be selected at an estimated budget of approximately $440.00 per tree, subject to availability. Species selections within this range may be more limited and may vary based on current nursery availability.
Estimated Quantity: 15 trees
Estimated Unit Price: $440.00 each
Estimated Total: $6,600.00

Option 3 – Lower Grade Material (Not Recommended / Not Included)
Lower-grade or non-Grade A nursery material may exist in the marketplace; however, Super Landscape & Maintenance does not recommend the use of such material for mitigation installations and has not included pricing for these options. Our standard recommendation is to utilize Grade A nursery stock to support better aesthetics, stronger establishment, and improved inspection acceptance.

Final total mitigation planting cost cannot be determined until Miami-Dade County confirms the total required canopy square footage to be mitigated and the community selects its preferred replacement tree species. In addition to the options listed above, there are more than 65 approved wooden shade tree options and approximately 15 approved palm options available should alternate selections be preferred.

Permitting Coordination & Fee Exclusions
Super Landscape & Maintenance will manage the permitting process for this project as part of our integrated service approach, including in-house coordination of all required documentation, permit application preparation and submission, and communication with Miami-Dade County and any other applicable reviewing departments or agencies necessary to secure approvals.
In addition to permit administration, our team will coordinate the related project services under one unified structure, providing the client with a single point of communication and accountability throughout both the permitting and implementation phases. This proposal includes the professional administrative, coordination, and project management services necessary to guide the project through review, approval, and execution while minimizing communication gaps and creating a more streamlined experience for ownership and management.

However, any fees imposed by Miami-Dade County or other governing authorities—including, but not limited to, permit fees, application fees, tree removal fees, mitigation fees, plan review fees, or other agency-assessed charges—are not included in the pricing herein and shall remain the responsibility of the client, as such amounts are determined directly by the applicable jurisdiction upon formal review.

Service Total: $3,500.00

Terms, Exclusions & Additional Services
The pricing and scope outlined in this proposal are based solely upon the services specifically described herein. Any services, revisions, conditions, agency requirements, or field circumstances not expressly included within the defined scope shall be considered outside the base proposal and may require additional authorization and pricing.
Consultant-Based Services
Landscape architectural services included within this proposal are based upon the respective scopes, assumptions, exclusions, limitations, and fee structures of the licensed third-party professionals engaged for those services. Any additional services, revisions, or conditions requested by the client, required by governing agencies, or necessitated by field conditions that fall outside of the original consultant scopes may result in additional fees. Any such consultant additional services, reimbursable expenses, or pass-through charges shall be billed at the consultant’s applicable rates, negotiated fee, or actual cost, as applicable.

Additional Services / Fee Structure
The following services are not included in the base pricing unless specifically stated otherwise and, if required, shall be billed separately upon authorization:
Arborist Services: Any additional tree assessment reports or supplemental arborist reports requested beyond the base scope shall be billed at $500.00 per report.
Watering / Establishment Care: Newly installed mitigation trees and plant material will require a post-installation establishment watering schedule consisting of daily watering for the first three (3) weeks, followed by three (3) watering visits per week for an additional three (3) weeks. Where the community does not have an active and adequate irrigation system to support this requirement, Super Landscape & Maintenance can provide establishment watering services as an additional service. Pricing shall be quoted separately based on final planting quantities, access, and site logistics.
Irrigation Adjustments / Repairs: Irrigation adjustments, modifications, troubleshooting, and repairs associated with mitigation planting areas may be provided on an as-needed basis where required to support proper establishment and long-term health of installed plant material. Such services are not included in the base proposal and shall be quoted separately based on the scope of work required.
Restoration of Disturbed Areas: Restoration of disturbed areas resulting from removals, root barrier installation, mitigation planting, or related work may be provided as an additional service if requested or deemed necessary. Pricing will vary depending on the extent of restoration and the materials selected, including but not limited to sod, rock, mulch, groundcover, or similar finish materials, and shall be quoted separately.
Consultant Additional Services: Any additional services required from the landscape architect or other third-party consultants beyond their original contracted scope—

including, but not limited to, plan revisions, additional submittals, additional site visits, responses to agency comments beyond the original scope, re-staking, supplemental coordination, or specialty coordination—shall be billed at the consultant’s applicable hourly rates or negotiated fee.
Reimbursable Expenses: Printing, plotting, courier or overnight delivery, postage, mileage, travel, permit processing support, expeditor coordination, and other reimbursable consultant or project-related expenses not included in the base scope shall be billed at actual cost or at the consultant’s billed reimbursable amount, where applicable.

Excluded Governmental / Agency Fees
Unless specifically stated otherwise, this proposal excludes any fees imposed by Miami-Dade County, municipalities, permitting agencies, utility providers, review boards, homeowner associations, or other governing authorities. This includes, but is not limited to, permit fees, application fees, plan review fees, tree removal fees, mitigation fees, expeditor fees, escrow deposits, impact fees, recording fees, and any other agency-assessed charges.

Services not expressly included are excluded, including but not limited to: irrigation engineering, off-site civil engineering, structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, septic design, full construction management, bidding services, contractor payment review, inspections, threshold inspections, change order documentation, design revisions caused by owner-directed changes, revisions resulting from changes in applicable codes after document preparation, renderings, models, public hearing attendance, variances, arbitration, depositions, and any additional services not specifically listed within the base design scope. Any such services, if required, shall be treated as additional services.

Plan Revisions / Scope Changes
This proposal is based on the currently understood project scope, available documentation, and visible site conditions. Any revisions to the basic project concept, client-requested design changes, changes to selected mitigation species after plan development, modifications required by unforeseen site conditions, or additional plan revisions required after initial submission may result in additional fees.

RE: Venetian Isles Community Development District Auditor Renewal

At the September 26, 2023 Venetian Isles Community Development District Board Of Supervisors meeting, the firm of Grau & Associates was selected to perform the 9-30-2023, 9-30-2024 and 9-30-2025 year end audits of the District with an option to perform the 9-30-2026 and 9-30-27 audits.
The fees for the 9-30-2023 audit were $3,400. The fees for the 9-30-2024 audit were
$3,500. And the fees for the 9-30-2025 audit were $3,600. The proposed fee for the 9-30-2026 audit is $3,700, which is more than the budgeted amount for audit fees for Fiscal Year 2025/2026. And the proposed fee for the 9-30-2027 audit is $3,800.
Management is pleased with the professionalism and the competence of the Grau & Associates partners and staff; therefore management recommends that the Board approve the renewal option for the Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-2026 and 9-30-2027 audits for Grau & Associates.

Dear Loyal Customers,
Heading into budget season, we appreciate your budget concerns. Unfortunately, the cost of our products, fuel and labor has seen a severe spike during the last year. Some products we use to make your water healthy have risen as much as 50% in the last year. Effective January 1, 2027, we will be implementing a nominal five percent (5%) increase for our professional services.
Please plan accordingly when preparing your 2027 budget.

Respectfully,
Andy Fuhrman President

MEMORANDUM
TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing Cochran, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	June 11, 2026

RE:	2026 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 [TBD], Laws of Florida (HB 0145). This legislation amends the sovereign‑immunity statute to raise liability caps and change tort‑claim procedures for government entities. The bill revises Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, increasing the statutory limits on damages recoverable against the state and its agencies/subdivisions (including special districts). For causes of action accruing on or after October 1, 2026, the liability caps increase from $200,000 to $350,000 per person and from $300,000 to $500,000 per incident. The bill also authorizes state agencies and subdivisions to settle claims or judgments in excess of those caps, up to available insurance limits, without requiring a legislative claims bill.

The bill authorizes a state subdivision (e.g. counties, municipalities, special districts including CDDs) to settle a claim or judgment in excess of the statutory cap without requiring a separate legislative claim bill, so long as settlement is within insurance coverage limits. The bill prohibits any insurance policy issued on or after October 1, 2026, from conditioning liability coverage or payment on the later enactment of a legislative claim bill.

In addition, the bill shortens the pre-suit notice period by requiring claimants to present a claim to the appropriate agency within 18 months after accrual of the claim, rather than the current three-year period. It also revises the statute of limitations by requiring most negligence actions against governmental entities to be filed within two (2) years, while maintaining existing limitations periods for medical malpractice, wrongful death, and contribution claims. The bill also reduces the time for an agency or the Department of Financial Services to make a final disposition of a claim before it is deemed denied, from six (6) months to four (4) months.

This law applies directly to CDDs because CDDs are among the “subdivisions” of state government covered by section 768.28, Florida Statutes. As such CDDs may now be subject to higher damage awards for tort claims.

Chapter [TBD], Laws of Florida (HB 273). This legislation revises Florida law governing state financial assistance and rural economic development programs to include certain

special districts and improve payment processing for eligible rural entities. The bill amends Section 215.971, Florida Statutes to allow state agencies, under certain conditions, to directly facilitate or expedite payment of invoices for counties, municipalities, and qualifying special districts, particularly those located in rural areas or designated rural areas of opportunity. It authorizes agencies to structure agreements so that eligible rural governments and certain special districts, especially those providing water and wastewater services, receive faster payment processing for verified, completed work. The intent is to reduce financial strain and cash flow challenges that rural entities often face when administering state-funded projects, while preserving existing legal and regulatory requirements. The legislation also amends Section 288.0656, Florida Statutes to expand the definition of “rural community” to explicitly include independent special districts that provide water and wastewater services within rural areas of opportunity. This expansion makes those districts eligible for rural economic development support programs and related state assistance. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

This legislation applies CDDs in a limited and conditional way, depending on the type of CDD and the services it provides. CDDs that are involved in state-funded infrastructure projects, such as water, wastewater, drainage, or utility improvements, may benefit from the amendment to Section 215.971, Florida Statutes. If a CDD is acting as a recipient or sub recipient of state financial assistance, the law allows state agencies to structure agreements so that invoices can be processed and paid more quickly for verified work. This can improve cash flow for CDDs building infrastructure, particularly smaller or rural CDDs that rely on this type of reimbursement funding. Second, the bill’s expansion of the definition of “rural community” under Section 288.0656, Florida Statutes generally does not directly include most CDDs, because eligibility is tied primarily to counties, municipalities, and independent special districts providing water and wastewater services in rural areas of opportunity. A typical CDD would only benefit if it meets those narrow conditions, meaning it operates in a qualifying rural area and functions in a way that aligns with the statutory definition (or is structured similarly to an independent utility-focused district).

Chapter [TBD], Laws of Florida (HB 0655). This legislation creates a new exemption under Florida law (Section 70.90, Florida Statutes) that allows agencies to hold closed attorney-client meetings during the 90-day notice period for claims brought under the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act. These closed meetings are limited to discussions between the agency and its attorney for purposes of settlement strategy or negotiation of private property rights claims. While the meetings are exempt from Florida’s Sunshine Law, they must still be recorded by a certified court reporter, fully transcribed, and later released as a public record once the claim is resolved or the statute of limitations expires if no settlement or litigation occurs.

The law also creates a temporary public records exemption for the transcripts, recordings, minutes, and related materials generated during these closed sessions, ensuring confidentiality during active negotiations. However, this exemption is not permanent; it is subject to future legislative review and sunsets in 2031 unless reenacted. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

The law allows a CDD Board of Supervisors to hold closed attorney-client sessions when the CDD is facing a pre-suit claim under the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Rights Protection Act regarding topics such as land use impacts, infrastructure construction, easement disputes, and development-related claims that can trigger property rights assertions under the Bert Harris Act.

During these closed sessions, the CDD can privately discuss settlement strategy with its attorney without public disclosure of sensitive legal positions. However, the exemption is narrow and procedural. The CDD must still provide public notice of the meeting, the session must begin and end in an open meeting, and a certified court reporter must record everything discussed. Although the discussion is confidential at the time, the transcript becomes a public record once the claim is resolved or the statutory timeframe expires if no settlement or lawsuit is filed.

Chapter 2026-115, Laws of Florida (HB 1085). This legislation creates the Local Government Cybersecurity Protection Program within the Florida Digital Service to assist local governments in strengthening cybersecurity defenses, particularly against threats such as ransomware. It establishes a statewide grant and procurement program that allows eligible local governments to access cybersecurity-related information technology commodities and services through contracts managed by the Florida Digital Service, with a preference for fiscally constrained counties. The program also requires data-sharing agreements between the state and participating local governments to support threat detection, prevention, and incident response.

Local governments may either apply for grants or independently purchase cybersecurity services through state-negotiated contracts, though the local government remains responsible for any associated costs. The law further requires annual reporting to the Governor and Legislature on program participation, funding, and outcomes, ensuring oversight and transparency. The program is set to operate through 2031 unless reenacted. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

This law applies to CDDs because CDDs are local governments for many operational purposes, including infrastructure, procurement, and administrative functions, and therefore fall within the category of eligible participants under the Local Government Cybersecurity Protection Program. CDDs would be able to access state-negotiated cybersecurity contracts and services through the Florida Digital Service to improve protection of district systems. Even if a CDD does not apply for a cybersecurity grant, it may still purchase cybersecurity commodities and services through the state contracts, which could help reduce costs and improve security standards. However, participation is optional rather than mandatory, and CDDs remain responsible for all costs associated with any purchases or services obtained under the program.

Chapter [TBD], Laws of Florida (SB 1180). This legislation makes several targeted but significant changes to the law governing CDDs under Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, with the most important impact being the creation of a formal recall process for elected board members. The bill’s primary feature is the creation of a new statutory section establishing a detailed procedure that allows qualified electors within a CDD to remove elected members of the board of supervisors through a recall process. The law limits recall to specific grounds such as malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, incompetence, drunkenness, permanent inability to perform duties, or conviction of certain felonies. It sets out a structured, multi-step process that begins with a petition signed by at least 10 percent of eligible voters, followed by verification of signatures, the preparation of a formal record of recall proceedings, and then a second petition requiring 15 percent of electors to trigger a recall referendum. If the referendum proceeds, a majority vote determines whether the board member is removed from office, and any resulting vacancy is filled according to existing statutory procedures. The legislation also imposes campaign finance requirements on recall efforts, establishes timelines, governs petition form and verification, allows limited

withdrawal of signatures, and creates penalties for fraud or misconduct in the petition process. In addition to the recall framework, the bill clarifies that CDD board members elected by residents are subject to recall, aligning CDD governance more closely with other forms of local government accountability. It also provides that individuals removed by recall, or who resign after a recall petition is filed, are ineligible for reappointment to the board for two years.

The legislation further revises the definition of “compact, urban, mixed-use district” under Section 190.003, Florida Statutes. The revised definition applies to districts consisting of a maximum of 75 acres located within a municipality and within either a qualified opportunity zone or a community redevelopment area. The amendment clarifies qualifying development thresholds by providing that such districts must include either at least 400,000 square feet of retail development and 500 residential units, or at least 250,000 square feet of commercial development and 500 affordable residential rental units for very-low-income, low-income, or moderate-income persons. This revision is significant for developers because it affects eligibility and structuring considerations for the creation of certain community development districts.

The legislation clarifies that restrictions on local regulation of synthetic turf do not prevent a CDD from enforcing private deed restrictions, preserving a CDD’s ability to uphold community standards through covenants. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

This law applies directly to CDDs because it creates, for the first time, a formal statutory process that allows residents to recall elected members of a CDD board of supervisors. It introduces clear procedures, thresholds, and legal standards for removal, thereby increasing accountability of board members to district electors. The law also clarifies that CDDs may continue enforcing deed restrictions despite broader limits on local regulation of synthetic turf and updates certain statutory definitions affecting district formation and development. Overall, the most significant impact is the shift toward greater resident oversight and governance accountability within CDDs.

Chapter 2026-3, Laws of Florida (SB 290). This legislation revises multiple areas of state law, with a primary focus on agriculture, public safety, contractor regulation, and consumer protection. A significant component of the legislation strengthens contractor and vendor accountability by requiring contractors to pay subcontractors and suppliers within 45 days of receiving payment, or in accordance with contractual terms, and authorizing disciplinary action for noncompliance. Additionally, vendors that default on contracts, fail to pay subcontractors, or demonstrate repeated poor performance may be suspended or barred from public contracting for up to five years.

The bill further clarifies and reinforces how public entities may lawfully spend funds and administer contracts for public purposes. The legislation affirms that public funds may be used for core governmental infrastructure and improvements, such as public buildings, emergency shelters, affordable housing, and energy efficiency projects, thereby helping to define the scope of permissible capital projects and expenditures. At the same time, it places limitations on the use of public funds for certain privately owned facilities, reinforcing the principle that expenditures must primarily serve a valid public purpose rather than confer a disproportionate private benefit. The act takes effect July 1, 2026.

This law applies directly to CDDs because CDDs function as local units of special-purpose government that procure services, manage infrastructure, and enter into public contracts. Since a CDD regularly contracts for construction, maintenance, and infrastructure improvements, the new requirement that contractors timely pay subcontractors and suppliers directly affects how a CDD administers its contracts. In addition, the provisions allowing suspension or disqualification of nonperforming vendors from public contracting are relevant to CDD procurement practices, especially where the district adopts or mirrors state purchasing standards. CDDs routinely finance and construct infrastructure such as roadways, utilities, stormwater systems, and public facilities. Clarifications regarding allowable public expenditures, such as for government buildings, emergency shelters, and infrastructure, help define the scope of permissible CDD projects and may influence how CDDs’ structure future capital plans and bond-funded improvements.

Portions of the bill related to consumer protection and fraud prevention, including prohibitions on misrepresentation (such as impersonating officials), have indirect relevance. CDDs and District Management interact with residents, property owners, and contractors, so these provisions reinforce broader legal standards around transparency, proper representation, and avoidance of deceptive practices in district operations.

Chapter 2026-7, Laws of Florida (HB 399). This legislation is a comprehensive land use and development reform measure that primarily limits local government discretion in permitting, zoning, and development regulation while promoting consistency, affordability, and predictability in the development process. A central component of the legislation requires that application fees for development permits and orders imposed by counties and municipalities must be directly tied to the actual costs of reviewing and processing applications, must be publicly listed, and may not be based on construction value or project cost, thereby preventing fee structures that scale with development size rather than administrative expense. The act takes effect upon becoming law.
Even though CDDs do not exercise zoning or land use regulatory authority, the law applies to CDDs as infrastructure and service providers within the framework established by counties and municipalities. As a result, the bill’s restrictions on local governments, particularly those related to development permitting, zoning, and land development regulations, will shape the regulatory environment in which CDDs plan, finance, and construct infrastructure.

The provisions limiting development application fees to actual administrative costs may reduce overall project costs for developments within CDD boundaries, which can influence the scope and timing of infrastructure financed by the CDD, including roads, utilities, and stormwater systems. Similarly, the requirement for more objective and clearly defined compatibility standards, along with limits on discretionary denials, may create a more predictable entitlement process, allowing CDDs to better coordinate infrastructure planning with approved development timelines and reduce delays that can affect bond issuances or capital improvement programs.

Although Chapter 2026-7 does not directly regulate CDD powers or governance, it significantly affects the local government land use framework that CDDs rely on, thereby affecting development timing, infrastructure planning, financing, and overall project feasibility within district boundaries.

Chapter [TBD], Laws of Florida (HB 967). This legislation establishes a clear legislative intent that local governments must accept electronic forms of payment, including credit cards, debit cards, charge cards, and electronic funds transfers, and specifically requires units of local government to offer online payment options. This applies broadly to counties, municipalities, special districts, and other local government entities, as well as constitutional officers such as clerks of court and tax collectors, unless another form of payment is required by law.

The legislation also preserves existing authority allowing local governments to pass along processing fees to users who choose electronic payment methods and confirms that governments are not liable for verifying card validity or available funds when processing such transactions. Importantly, it mandates that if a local government accepts electronic payments, it must also maintain an online system for doing so, reinforcing a statewide push toward digital accessibility and standardized payment options.

This legislation requires CDDs that collect any type of payment, such as fees, user charges, amenity payments, permit-related charges, or other CDD revenues, to offer electronic payment options, including credit cards, debit cards, and electronic funds transfers. It also specifically requires that if a CDD accepts electronic payments at all, it must maintain a system for accepting those payments online, which may require updates to CDD websites, billing platforms, or third-party payment processors. The legislation also allows CDDs to continue passing through processing fees associated with electronic payments (such as credit card convenience fees), and it preserves their ability to require verification of payment validity and sufficient funds. However, it removes discretion in practice by making online payment capability a mandatory feature for any CDD that accepts electronic payments in any form.
