MEMORANDUM

Subject: Direct Collection Agreement for Fiscal Year 2026

Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Board approve the form of the Direct Collection Agreement for FY 2026.

General Information
The Tradition Community Development Districts (collectively, the "Districts") have the benefit of having their assessments included on the St. Lucie County Tax Roll and collected by the St. Lucie County Tax Collector. This benefits the Districts because they do not need to incur the substantial time and expense that would ordinarily be required to collect assessments from each lot owner. This is most commonly utilized for platted lots owned by residential end users.
In some cases, however, it makes sense for the District to collect assessments from certain landowners directly. Most frequently, this will involve a landowner that owns a significant amount of property in the District. In those cases, for cost efficiencies we will collect those assessments off the tax roll and directly• enter into an agreement with the property owner whereby they agree to pay the assessments levied on their property according to the amount and at the time specified in your Annual Assessment Resolution.

District Legal Counsel Review
The District's attorneys prepared by this form of Agreement. Your District Manager shall finalize the individual agreements with all applicable entities after approval by the Board.

Funding Review
This Agreement is not expected to affect the District's financial condition.

DIRECT COLLECT AGREEMENT FY 2026
This AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of October 1, 2026 (“Effective Date”), by and between:
TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1, a local unit of

[DEVELOPER OR LANDOWNER ENTITY], a [	]and the owner of certain property located within the boundaries of the Districts (as defined herein), and whose mailing address is [ADDRESS] (hereinafter, the “Property Owner,” and together with District No. 1, “Parties”). For purposes of this Agreement, Property Owner’s property is more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Property”).
Recitals
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, District No. 1 was established for the purpose of planning, financing, constructing, operating, and/or maintaining certain infrastructure, and is authorized to levy such taxes, special assessments, fees and other charges as may be necessary in furtherance of District No. 1’s activities and services; and
WHEREAS, District No. 1, along with Tradition Community Development District Nos. 2-11 (the “Other Districts,” and collectively with District No. 1, the “Districts”) are parties to that certain Amended and Restated District Development Interlocal Agreement dated April 8, 2008, and recorded in Official Records Book 2983, Page 1074, of the public records of St. Lucie County, Florida (“District Interlocal Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, Pursuant to Section 6.03 of the District Interlocal Agreement, the Other Districts have delegated to District No. 1 the authority to take all actions necessary or desirable with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Districts, including the levy and collection special assessments in connection with the adoption of the Districts’ Adopted Budget (as defined herein); and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Ch. 190, Florida Statutes, the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of District No. 1 adopted a final budget for the Districts (“Adopted Budget”) for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026 (“FY 2026”), which appropriates out of the Districts’ revenues funds sufficient to undertake certain activities and defray operations and maintenance expenditures contemplated in the Adopted Budget; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 2025-18 (“Annual Assessment Resolution”), District No. 1’s Board levied special assessments to fund the operations and maintenance of the

Adopted Budget (“O&M Assessments”) in the amounts set forth in Adopted Budget and the assessment roll attached to the Annual Assessment Resolution (“Assessment Roll”), and set forth the method by which the O&M Assessments and the FY 2026 installment of the Districts’ previously levied debt service assessments (“Debt Assessment,” and together with the O&M Assessments, “Assessments”) shall be collected and enforced; and

WHEREAS, Property Owner agrees that the O&M Assessments, which were imposed on the lands within the Districts, including the Property, have been validly imposed and constitute valid, legal, and binding liens upon the lands within the Districts; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Florida law, District No. 1 certified the Assessment Roll for collection, which Assessment Roll includes in full or part that certain “Direct Collect Property” (as defined in the Annual Assessment Resolution and further identified on the Assessment Roll) for direct collection by District No. 1 in accordance with Florida law; and

WHEREAS, as the Property is identified on the Assessment Roll as Direct Collect Property, District No. 1 and Property Owner desire to arrange for the direct collection and direct payment of the Assessments levied against the Property.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon good and valuable consideration and the mutual covenants of the Parties, the receipt of which and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

RECITALS. The recitals so stated are true and correct and by this reference are incorporated into and form a material part of this Agreement.

VALIDITY OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. Property Owner agrees that the Assessments have been validly imposed and constitute valid, legal, and binding liens upon the lands within the Districts, including the Property. Property Owner hereby waives and relinquishes any rights it may have to challenge, object to, or otherwise fail to pay such Assessments.

COVENANT TO PAY. Property Owner agrees to pay the Assessments attributable to the Property, regardless of whether Property Owner owns the Property at the time such payment is due or paid. Nothing herein shall prohibit Property Owner from prorating or otherwise collecting these Assessments from subsequent purchasers of the Property. District No. 1 shall send a bill to Property Owner at least thirty (30) days prior to the first Assessment due date, indicating the exact amount of the Assessment being certified for collection in FY 2026. The Assessments attributable to the Property shall be due and payable on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Annual Assessment Resolution. District No. 1’s decision to collect Assessments by any particular method – e.g., on the tax roll or by direct bill – does not mean that such method will be used to collect special assessments in future years, and District No. 1 reserves the right in its sole discretion to select collection methods in any given year, regardless of past practices.

ENFORCEMENT. This Agreement shall serve as an alternative, additional method for collection of the Assessments. This Agreement shall not affect the Districts’ ability to collect and enforce its Assessments by any other method authorized by Florida law. Property

Owner acknowledges that the failure to pay the Assessments may result in the initiation of a foreclosure action, or, at District No. 1’s sole discretion, delinquent Assessments may be certified for collection on a future County tax bill. In the event that an Assessment payment is not made in accordance with the schedule stated above, the whole of such Assessment – including any remaining partial, deferred payments for FY 2026, shall immediately become due and payable; shall accrue interest, penalties in the amount of one percent (1%) per month, and all costs of collection and enforcement; and shall either be enforced pursuant to a foreclosure action, or, at District No. 1’s sole discretion, collected pursuant to the Chapter 197, Florida Statutes (“Uniform Method”) on a future tax bill, which amount may include penalties, interest, and costs of collection and enforcement.

CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Board of Directors
Tradition Community Development District 1 Port St. Lucie, Florida
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Tradition Community Development District 1, (“District”) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of September 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions.

2222 Colonial Road, Suite 200 Fort Pierce, Florida 34950772-461-8833  Fax: 772-461-8872 591 S.E. Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie, Florida 34984772-878-1952Fax: 772-878-1709

WWW.DMHBCPA.NET

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and

comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 20, 2025, on our consideration of the Tradition Community Development District 1’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, rules, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
We have also issued our report dated June 20, 2025 on our consideration of the District’s compliance with requirements of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, as required by Rule 10.556(10) of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. The purpose of that report is to provide an opinion based on our examination conducted in accordance with attestation Standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Tradition Community Development District 1 (the “District”) discussion and analysis is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the District’s financial activity and financial statements, (c) identify changes in the District’s financial position, (d) identify any material deviations from the District’s budget, and (e) identify individual fund issues or concerns.
Since the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is designed to focus on the current year’s activities, resulting changes and currently known facts, please read it in conjunction with the Auditor’s Report (beginning on page 1) and the District’s financial statements (beginning on page 8.)
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenues exceeded expenses by $716,082 in the governmental funds, general fund increased $22,994.
Net position increased $1,908,954 included in the increase is the recording of depreciation in the amount of $1,576,257.
Total costs of all programs were $4,720,530 in 2024 compared to $5,189,956 in 2023.
The District expended $3,791,788 towards debt service for governmental activities.
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities (pages 8 & 9) provide information about the activities of the District as a whole and present a longer-term view of the District’s finances. Fund Financial Statements begin on page 10. For governmental activities, these Statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund Financial Statements also report the District’s operations in more detail by providing information about the District’s most significant funds.
REPORTING THE DISTRICT AS A WHOLE
Our analysis of the District as a whole begins on page 8. One of the most important questions asked about the District’s finances is, “Is the District as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year’s activities?” The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the District as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These Statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used in most private-sector companies. All of the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two Statements report the District’s net position and changes in them. You can think of the District’s net position – the difference between assets and liabilities – as one way to measure the District’s financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the District’s net assets, is one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating.

FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Governmental funds – all of the District’s services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the District’s general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps one determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the District’s programs.
Governmental Type Funds
As of year-end, the governmental funds (as presented on page 10) reported a combined fund balance of $8,593,007 compared to the beginning of the year $7,876,925. Several of the governmental fund expenditures are capital expenditure related and, therefore, may reflect capital expenditures (which are reflected in the current financial resource-based Fund Financial Statements) as a spending of a portion of available net assets or an increase in net assets from unspent net position. The General Fund experienced a net increase of $22,994.
Proprietary Fund

The District maintains one type of proprietary fund, an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is used to report the same function presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The District uses an enterprise fund to account for the operations of the irrigation system within the District.

Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION
Capital Assets
During the fiscal year 2023-2024 the District continues to maintain infrastructure projects to support the Tradition master planned community. As of September 30, 2024, the District had $32,281,514 invested in land, infrastructure and construction in progress. The District’s business-type activities reported net capital assets of $4,065,474.
Debt
At September 30, 2024, the District had $32,934,616 Bonds outstanding for its governmental activities and $5,425,419 Bonds and note payable outstanding for its business-type activities. The District’s debt represents bonds secured by a special revenue source. Additional information on the District’s long-term debt can be found in the notes to financial statements.

ECONOMIC FACTORS, NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND OTHER INFORMATION
For the fiscal year 2025, the District anticipates that the cost of general operations will remain fairly constant. In connection with the District's future infrastructure maintenance and replacement plan, the District Board has included in the budget, an estimate of those anticipated future costs and has assigned a portion of current available resources for that purpose. For the irrigation system, it is anticipated that any future growth would come from commercial and residential development.

TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Tradition Community Development District 1 (the “District”) conform to generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governments. The District was formerly known as Westchester Community Development District 1 and lawfully changed its name to Tradition Community Development District 1 effective August 14, 2006. The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
Reporting Entity
The District is an independent unit of special-purpose local government of the State of Florida created by law and established in accordance with the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, as amended by ordinance of St. Lucie County, Florida, effective on August 21, 2001 as amended. The Act provides for a five member Board of Supervisors to serve as the governing body of the District. The District has no component units. Its purpose is to manage and finance basic community development systems, facilities and services, including capital infrastructure.
Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements - Government-wide financial statements, including the statement of net assets and statement of activities, present information about the District as a whole. These statements include the non-fiduciary financial activity of the primary government and its component units.

Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function or program of the District’s governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a service, program, or department and are thereby clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues, with certain exceptions. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each governmental function or business segment is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the District.
The effects of inter-fund activity have been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.

TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis of Presentation (continued)

Fund Financial Statements - Fund financial statements report detailed information about the District in the governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary funds. The focus of governmental fund financial statements is on major funds rather than reporting funds by type. Each major fund is reported in a separate column. Non-major funds are aggregated and reported in a single column. Because the focus of governmental fund financial statements differs from the focus of government-wide financial statements, the reconciliation is presented with each of the governmental fund financial statements.
Major Governmental Fund Types
General Fund - The general fund is the general operating fund of the District. All general tax revenue and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to another fund are accounted for in this fund. The general operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the general fund.
Capital Project Fund - Capital project funds are established to provide common infrastructure to support the master planned community.

Major Proprietary Fund Types
Irrigation Fund - The irrigation fund accounts for the irrigation operations of the District that are financed and supported primarily by user charges.

Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the District’s enterprise fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses of the enterprise fund include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
Assessments
Assessments are non-ad valorem assessments on benefited lands within the District. Assessments are levied to pay for the operations and maintenance of the District. The fiscal year for which annual assessments are levied begins on October 1 with discounts available for payments through February 28 and become delinquent on April 1. The District's annual assessments for operations are billed and collected by the County Tax Collector. The amounts remitted to the District are net of applicable discounts or fees and include interest on monies held from the day of collection to the day of distribution.

TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Irrigation Fees

Irrigation fees received are available for the payment of debt service on the District’s bonds and for costs associated with the operation and maintenance of existing system. These fees are included in restricted investments on the Enterprise Fund Statement of Net Position until spent for the designated purpose.

Receivables and Payables

Accounts receivable and revenues for the enterprise fund are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. For irrigation system accounts receivable, there was no allowance recorded as of September 30, 2024.

Equity Classifications

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. Under GASB 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, fund balances are required to be reported according to the following classifications:

Non-Spendable Fund Balance – Amounts that are (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. “Not in spendable form” includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash (such as inventories and prepaid amounts) and items such as long-term amount of loans and notes receivable, as well as property acquired for resale. The corpus (or principal) of a permanent fund is an example of an amount that is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.

Restricted Fund Balance – Amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes stipulated by (a) external resource providers such as creditors (by debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

Committed Fund Balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category.

Equity Classifications (continued)
Assigned Fund Balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed.
Unassigned Fund Balance – Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the general fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the general fund. Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted, committed, or assigned for those specific purposes.
The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Florida Statutes require state and local governmental units to deposit monies with a financial institution classified as a “Qualified Public Depository,” which is a state insurance pool for banks and other financial institutions. The pool requires each bank to render as collateral a percentage of all state and local monies on deposit. Upon default of a particular financial institution within the pool, the pooled collateral is used to reinstate the state and local government deposits. This pool is additional insurance above the federal depository insurance. The District has cash deposits only with qualifying institutions as of September 30, 2024.
Deposits and Investments
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing).
The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 (17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following:
The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act;
Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency;
Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories;
Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury.

Deposits and Investments (continued)

Credit Risk:
Florida Statutes require the money market mutual funds held by the District to have the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency.
Interest Rate Risk:
Florida Statutes state that the investment portfolio be structured in such manner as to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. All holdings are currently invested to meet current obligations.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer. More than 5% of the District’s investments are with one issuer.
Custodial Credit Risk:
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. At September 30, 2024, the District is exempt from this requirement.
Fair Value Measurement - When applicable, the District measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established in accordance with GASB Statements. The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques.

TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT 1
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Custodial Credit Risk: (continued)

These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, in order of highest priority, as follows:
Level 1: Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical investments in active markets that the District has the ability to access;
Level 2: Investments whose inputs - other than quoted market prices - are observable either directly or indirectly; and,
Level 3: Investments whose inputs are unobservable.

The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include land and land improvements, buildings and improvements, infrastructure, machinery and equipment, are reported in the governmental activities column.

The District defines capital assets as assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. The valuation basis for all assets is historical cost.

The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its useful life are not capitalized.

Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.

Depreciation of capital assets is computed and recorded by utilizing the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable capital assets are as follows:

Buildings and improvements	 7-39 years Infrastructure	20-40 years
Machinery and equipment	5-10 years
Unearned Revenue

Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned.

September 30, 2024

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the Bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are expensed when incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
The statement of net position reports, as applicable, a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a consumption of net position that applies to future reporting period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that time. For example, the District would record deferred outflows of resources related to debit amounts resulting from current and advance refundings resulting in the defeasance of debt (i.e. when there are differences between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt).
The statement of net position reports, as applicable, a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net position that applies to future reporting period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. For example, when an asset is recorded in the governmental fund financial statements, but the revenue is not available, the District reports a deferred inflow of resources until such times as the revenue becomes available.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management Company
The District has contracted with a management company to perform management advisory services, which include financial and accounting advisory services. Certain employees of the management company also serve as officers (Board appointed non-voting positions) of the District. Under the agreement, the District compensates the management company for management, accounting, financial reporting, and other administrative costs.

NOTE B - BUDGETARY INFORMATION

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end.
The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements.

Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1.
Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments.
Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board.
All budget changes must be approved by the District Board.
The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year.

NOTE C – ASSET PURCHASE

On August 10, 2017, the District entered into an asset purchase agreement with Tradition Irrigation Company, LLC. As a result the District created an enterprise fund to account for the transactions of the irrigation system. As part of the agreement the District services the developments known as Tradition and Southern Groves, supplying quality water service under a Franchise Agreement with the City of Port St. Lucie, Florida. The District issued $6,095,000 in Irrigation System Revenue Bonds in order to finance the purchase. The District received $5,051,151 in capital assets including
$580,183 in land.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget for the general fund. The District’s budgeting process is based on estimates of cash receipts and cash expenditures which are approved by the Board. The budget approximates a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (generally accepted accounting principles).

An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Actual general fund expenditures exceeded appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

The variance between budgeted and actual general fund revenues is considered significant and additional revenue was received during the year for the purpose of providing equity transfers as per the Inter-local agreements with the other Districts. The actual general fund expenditures for the current fiscal year were higher than budgeted amounts due primarily to costs being higher than anticipated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Board of Directors
Tradition Community Development District 1 Port St. Lucie, Florida

We have audited in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to the financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Tradition Community Development District 1, as of September 30, 2024 and for the year ended, which collectively comprise the Tradition Community Development District 1’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated June 20, 2025.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over financial reporting.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.

Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Purpose of this Report

This report is intended solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 218.415, FLORIDA STATUTES, REQUIRED BY RULE 10.556(10) OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA

Board of Directors
Tradition Community Development District 1 Port St. Lucie, Florida

We have examined Tradition Community Development District 1, Port St. Lucie, Florida’s (“District”) compliance with the requirements of Section 218.415, Florida Statutes, in accordance with Rule 10.556(10) of the Auditor General of the State of Florida during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. Management is responsible for District’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on District’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the District complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced in Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether the District complied with the specified requirements. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the District’s compliance with specified requirements.

We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the examination engagement.

In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Legislative Auditing Committee, members of the Florida Senate and the Florida House of Representatives, the Florida Auditor General, management, and the Board of Supervisors of Tradition Community Development District 1, Port St. Lucie, Florida and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

AQUATIC MAINTENANCE SERVICES REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
TRADITION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT NO. 1
St. Lucie County, Florida

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Personnel & Equipment	(20 Points Possible)

This category addresses the following criteria: skill set and experience of key management and assigned personnel, including the project manager and other specifically trained individuals who will manage the property; present ability to manage this project; proposed staffing levels; capability of performing the work; geographic location; subcontractor listing; inventory of all equipment; etc. Skill set includes certification, technical training, and experience with similar projects. Please include resumes, certifications, etc., with proposal. Please also provide evidence of the proposer’s ability to meet deadlines and be responsive to client needs.
Experience	(25 Points Possible)

This category addresses whether a Proposer clearly distinguishes past & current record and experience of the Proposer in similar projects; volume of work previously awarded to the firm; past performance in any other contracts; etc.

Understanding Scope of RFP	(15 Points Possible)

This category addresses the following issues: Does the proposal demonstrate an understanding of the District’s needs for the services requested? Does it provide all information as requested by the District including pricing, scheduling, staffing, etc.? Does it demonstrate clearly the ability to perform these services? Were any suggestions for “best practices” included? Does the proposal as a whole appear to be feasible, in light of the scope of work? Did the contractor use the forms provided from the Project Manual in responding to the proposal?

Financial Capacity	(5 Points Possible)

This category addresses whether the Proposer has demonstrated that it has the financial resources and stability as a business entity necessary to implement and execute the work. Proposer should include proof of ability to provide insurance coverage as required by the District as well as audited financial statements, or similar information.

Price	(20 Points Possible)
Twenty (20) points will be awarded to the Proposer submitting the lowest bid for Parts 1 - 4 (the Contract Amount). AN AVERAGE OF ALL FIVE YEARS PRICING IS TO BE CONSIDERED WHEN AWARDING POINTS FOR PRICING - THE INITIAL TERM AND ALL FOUR ANNUAL
RENEWALS. All other proposers will receive a percentage of this amount based upon a formula which divides the low bid by the proposer’s bid and is then multiplied by the number of points possible in this part of the Price evaluation.

EXAMPLE: Contractor “A” turns in a bid of $210,000 and is deemed to be low bid and will receive the full 20 points. Contractor “B” turns in a bid of $265,000. Bid “A” is divided by Bid “B” then multiplied by the number of points possible (20). (210,000/265,000) x 20 = 15.85, therefore, Contractor “B” will receive 15.85 of 20 possible points. Contractor “C” turns in a bid of $425,000. Bid “A” is divided by Bid “C” then multiplied by the number of points possible (20). (210,000/425,000) x 20 = 9.88, therefore, Contractor “C” will receive 9.88 of 20 points.

Reasonableness of ALL Numbers	(15 Points Possible)

Up to fifteen (15) points will be awarded as to the reasonableness of ALL numbers, quantities &
costs.

Proposer’s Total Score	(100 Points Possible)
