COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC

Sandra Kent stated that on July 12th we were asked to lower the CDD budget by $100, but it looked as if it was going to be higher. Mr. Krbec addressed that the budget had been cut by $500,000 and the new amount would less $100. Mr. Covelli stated that the O&M rate can be kept lower by using the reserve fund.

Chris King asked if Mattamy is planning on contributing to the reserve fund. She also questioned if the community needed another security person and if so, would Mattamy be paying for the increase.

Dr. Cathy Powers inquired about reducing security and having Mattamy cover more of the cost. She would like to see Police reports on what they do here in Tradition. Dr. Powers also inquired about the Building, Bridge & Monument Maintenance & Landscaping and Tree Replacement. Is this once a year or in phases. Also, why the increase in Contingency for Administration.

Lenny Topper, from the Estates, advised the security in his community is too old and outdated. He also informed the Board that he does not approve of TIM. Mr. Defour stated that the security is just to observe and report.

Marsha Warfield, from Vitalia, does not see any benefits from living in Tradition, just a huge increase in the budget.

Chris King is not clear on the Trim Notice. Mr. Krbec explained the Trim Notice vs the HOA payments. He also reviewed the CDD vs HOA and what each entity does.

Jim Masotti, from Vitalia, is concerned there are no reserves. Feels like the lakes/spike rush are being neglected and this look is aesthetically unpleasing.

Ron Beauchemin, from Vitalia, addressed that the Building & Monument line item has increased a lot. He does not like the Heart Sculpture or the “T” sign and believes it will increase the resident’s fees.

Wendy Hamilton, from Vitalia, would like to schedule meetings at a different time, so other people can attend.

Gail Cost asked what is driving the increase for the Heart Sculpture and Stars/Stripes. Mr. Palumbo addressed the group and that Mattamy will be funding these projects.

FISCAL YEAR: 22/23 PROPOSED BUDGET

Mr. Dufour would like to see less then 20% increase in next year’s budget. Mr. Sakuma reviewed the bond funds. A lengthy discussion followed.
Mr. Krbec and Ms. Cost would both like a reserve fund.

Board members discussed the over all proposed budget what reductions they would like to see. Mr. Palumbo agreed for Mattamy to pay $200,000 toward the Tower maintenance.

Mr. Krbec addressed the sidewalk repair and how much this is costing the residents. Would like to reduce to around $42,000.

There was a discussion between Mr. Palumbo, Mr. Sakuma, and Mr. Karmeris on how to lower the budget. The initial assessments where $382 and after several conversations and recalculating different line items, the new assessment came out to be $335 per year for District No.’s 3, 4, 5, 6 and $382 per year for District No.’s 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, & 10.

Mr. Palumbo requested a budget workshop meeting every April to start discussing the next fiscal year budget.

Lake Bank Inspection Proposal: Tradition CDD Managed Lakes From: Kelly Cranford, PE – CDD Engineer
April 25, 2023

Tradition CDD currently manages 67 lakes with 55.7 miles of lake and canal banks. Current criteria is no steeper than 4:1 side slopes; a step at the edge of water (EOW) of no more than 12 inches; and a step eight feet from EOW of no more than 27 inches. Steps do not typically appear until the lakes have been through several wet-dry seasons.
As requested by the Lake Bank Committee at its April 19, 2023 meeting, below are options for the bank inspections.
This type of inspection is made visual by an experienced inspector walking and/or driving the lake banks and noting where the banks and steps appear to exceed CDD criteria. In areas where the slope / steps appear to exceed criteria, the inspector will use a template and measuring device to conﬁrm compliance or non-compliance. Deliverable is a spreadsheet with highlighted map showing areas of deﬁciencies. (See Example 1). $50,250 and will take 12 weeks to complete.
This type of inspection is by traditional survey and will result in plotted cross-sections taken every 100 feet, which are then checked manually for compliance with CDD slope and step criteria. Deliverable is plotted cross-sections with highlighted areas of deﬁciencies along with a plan view of the lakes highlight with deﬁcient areas. $167,400 and will take 11 weeks to collect data and another 8 weeks to produce the deliverables (19 weeks total).
This type of inspection is performed by a drone with lidar survey capabilities. Between 2 and 4 tradition survey cross-sections would be performed on lakes which indicate slope or step deﬁciencies. Deﬁciencies are noted through a “heat map” by setting the software parameters to look for areas which do not comply with input criteria. Deliverables are cross-section and plan view map with “hot” areas shown. (See Example 2) $97,000 and will take a total of 11 weeks to complete.
Each type of inspection can be phased over several years, split into neighborhoods or speciﬁc lake inspections.
