FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution	2026-07
Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Setting a Public Hearing to Adopt
Ms. O’Rourke presented Resolution 2026-07. She explained that this resolution will set the public hearing to adopt the final budget at the regular scheduled meeting on July 28, 2026 at 1:00
p.m. at the current location. She noted that the proposed budget that they will be looking at today will set the cap on assessments so they can modify line items until their final budget hearing. She

pointed out that each individual line item can move, but the assessment per residence cannot exceed the level that they establish today in this approved budget.
Ms. O’Rourke reviewed the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2027, which runs from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. This will begin the District's annual budget cycle. She noted the District is required to approve a proposed budget no later than June 15 of this calendar year to remain compliant with the Florida statutes. Ms. O’Rourke pointed out that this proposed budget does not recommend an increase to resident assessments, so this will keep the level the same as it was this fiscal year. She stated for the purposes of today's discussion, they are going to be focusing the column on the far right, which is the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2027. She pointed out that the column on the far left is what the adopted budget is today, the actuals in the next column are through March 31, the next column is projected year end totals, and the final column is what they are proposing for this next budget. She noted that in the revenue section, most of the District's revenue comes from the CDD maintenance assessments. She added that also includes some interest income based on any surplus funds that are being held in interest bearing accounts. She noted for this budget they also recognized about $4,000 in carry forward surplus.
After reviewing the revenue section, Ms. O’Rourke reviewed the expenditure section. The first part is the administrative expenses, she explained that these are the costs required to operate the District in accordance with Florida statutes and the District's Trust Indentures. She pointed out the major changes through this section. For District management services, their firm is proposing a 5% increase this year. She stated they will also see increases in their insurance premiums both within this section and the following section. Insurance in the administrative expenses is for their liability insurance. She noted that this is the exact number they got from Egis, which is their insurance provider for both this section and the next one. She pointed out that there were not a lot of changes in this section. Overall, the administrative expenses are proposed to increase slightly from roughly $142,000 to $146,000. The next part is the field expenditures. She explained that these are numbers based on the actual infrastructure owned and maintained by the District. These expenses include street lighting, stormwater maintenance, landscaping, etc. She presented the landscape maintenance number, which is their contracted services. She noted that Mr. Blanco worked with Prince this year to get them to hold their numbers, so they're not increasing for their contracted services. She pointed out that they also decreased the landscape replacement line item a little based on some actual numbers that they have been using the past two years, so they dropped

that down a little bit. She noted they are proposing a 5% increase in field management services this year. They also zeroed out the lake maintenance line item. She explained that they just found that to be duplicative with the pond maintenance line item, so the actual number that they use for pond maintenance is going to be located in the pond maintenance line item. They increased the irrigation repairs line item a little bit, and that's to allow for a future proposal to move the rotary head sprinklers to a drip line along Quiet Quail Drive. She stated that a proposal will be presented to the Board for this at a future meeting. She explained that she just wanted to point out that is why they upped that irrigation repair number a little.
Ms. O’Rourke noted that there is a new line item for a reserve study. She explained that a reserve study evaluates the District's infrastructure and major assets, such as the roads, pool, amenity center, roof, and mailboxes. It estimates their useful life and their future replacement or repair costs. The $7,000 in this line item just allows them to get proposals from a vendor that will do this and then provide them with a report that'll allow the Board to make changes in the future as far as how much they allocate to capital reserves. Under the amenity expenditures, she noted they have adjusted some of those line items, such as water and sewer and electric, just based on actuals. This year they left the security services line item the same as it was this year. She pointed out that when they get into the closed session at the end of the meeting, if they want to adjust this line item, they can. They also increased amenity repairs and the maintenance line items for more room for repairs as they come up. This budget also proposes a $50,000 transfer to the capital reserve fund at the end of the fiscal year, just like they projected this year, which can be increased if there's any surplus funds that are available to transfer. She stated overall, this is a balanced budget with no increase to assessments for residents. At the bottom of the fourth page of the budget, she pointed out that the assessment table explains that there are 835 units within the CDD and they all pay the same amount for the maintenance assessment. The amount retained by the District is $956 per unit, and the gross amount shown on the tax bill is $1,028 per unit. She added that the difference just accounts for collection fees retained by the Polk County property appraiser or the tax collector, and then early payment discounts that are available to property owners to take if they pay off their assessments early.
Ms. O’Rourke reviewed the District’s debt service funds. These are the funds managed by the trustee. There are two debt service funds in Wind Meadows South, the Series 2021 and the Series 2023, which are both structured in the exact same way. Each debt service section will show

the number of units in that assessment area, the gross and net per unit debt assessment amount, and then the required principal and interest payments, which follow the amortization schedule. Often, she noted they get questions asked from residents as to when their bond payment goes away. She explained that basically the answer is dependent upon which assessment area they live in, but it's found in the amortization schedule.
Ms. O’Rourke stated the capital reserve fund shows how much they are currently holding for major repairs or replacements. She pointed out that at the end of their current fiscal year it should be just under $200,000. The reserve study will help determine what their target number is moving forward. She stated the Board has done a really good job of controlling spending and putting money away. She noted they have a good little nest egg there if anything pops up before their reserve study is complete. She completed her presentation of Resolution 2026-07.

On MOTION by Ms. Santer, seconded by Mr. Gilley, with all in favor, Resolution 2026-07 Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Setting a Public Hearing to Adopt, was approved.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Ms. Rinaldi provided an update on the 2026 legislative session bills that have passed and have either been signed by the governor or are waiting to be signed. The first is a bill regarding a recall procedure for CDD supervisors. She explained that there is now a formal process in place that could relieve a sitting CDD Supervisor that has been elected in the general election. She explained that there is a petition process. It's quite a lengthy process that requires certain signature thresholds and verification of those signatures. She pointed out that there's also seven recall grounds that are spelled out in that bill. She explained that currently all of the seats are landowner election seats and this process would not apply to those seats. She added, however, that it’s something to be aware of as in the next two years seats will begin to turn over to the general election and those general election seats could be subject to this process. She explained in more detail the difference between landowner seats and general election seats. She stated those general election seats, those that are included on the ballot in November, are seats that would be subject to the recall process. She noted that bill has already been signed by the Governor. She also stated

there's currently something similar in place for city and county commissioners already. This is structured somewhat similarly to that, but that one has been signed and takes effect July 1.
Ms. Rinaldi stated another bill that was passed that they are waiting to see if it will be signed pertains to sovereign immunity. She noted currently, their District has sovereign immunity, which is a protection against certain types of actions that might be brought against the District. It has monetary caps for a monetary award that can potentially be awarded to those who are ensuing against the CDD. She pointed out that they have seen efforts for the past numbers of years of people trying to increase those caps. She explained that there were bills that tried to increase this into the millions, but luckily that isn't what passed and it was much lower than that. She explained that the Board is aware the per claim limit was increased from $200,000 to $350,000 and the per incident aggregate limit was increased from $300,000 to $500,000, so there are increases to those monetary limits. She added that their District staff has been in communication with their insurance company to see any impact in future insurance premiums. She stated any impact would certainly be less than those prior bills that sought to increase those a lot higher. She also noted a bill passed that they are waiting to see if it will be signed pertains to E-bikes. She noted they have a deadline by the end of the year to set forth recommendations to the state that will then be taken up in the next legislative session. She explained that this bill also imposes operational requirements as it pertains to E-bikes. After Ms. Rinaldi’s recap and update, she informed the Board of Supervisors that she sent an email that contained some reminders and deadlines that are upcoming. She noted that their Form 1’s are due July 1. She also reminded the Board of Supervisors of the ethics training.

Engineer
Mr. Hunter noted that the annual reports for the CDD are due by the end of July. He stated he has a draft on his desk right now that he is reviewing. His goal is to get that circulated by the end of the week or early next week. He had nothing further to report.
Ms. Santer asked Mr. Hunter if he knows when they are going to finish connecting Yarborough to Singing Mockingbird. Mr. Hunter first pointed out the engineer of record of the adjacent project, which they call the Highland Club Project. He stated an interesting development is that before there was an agreement with the developer of the CDD to the north, Touchstone, in Polk County to extend Yarborough, it was not only to their project entrance, but to the Wind Meadows South western entrance. He noted that they have changed their mind. He explained that

the developer no longer intends to extend Yarborough to the Wind Meadow South entrance south. They're going to stop at their southern project boundary, which is Wind Meadow South northern project boundary. He further explained that it was a funding issue. He noted there was a disagreement or misunderstanding with Polk County and they've agreed to terminate that extension north of the entrance. He stated there are plans, however, to potentially make that extension happen as part of the Highland Club Project. He noted they are just now getting started on the design, so there won't be any construction on that project for another year. He stated he thinks it be at least 12 months, if the current plan holds. Ms. Campagna asked if they were required through Polk County to complete this, but now they’ve changed their minds. Mr. Hunter responded that he thinks everyone, including Polk County, has changed their minds.

Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Blanco presented the Field Manager’s Report. He noted that they completed several maintenance items. Staff noted sticky floors and stains on the covered lanai area in the amenity. Maintenance pressure washed floors and walls. He noted that staff met with the insurance provider in April. The provider recommended caution stickers on the metal playground poles, new playground rules in the amenity playground, and dog park signs differentiating large and small dogs. He stated the monument maintenance is in progress. Staff noted a loose monument light, stains in several areas, and a couple of chips on the monument sign. He stated the street sign maintenance is in progress as well. The maintenance staff reinforced a stop sign on Singing Mockingbird Boulevard. He noted that pending for completion is straightening two street signs and one sign with folded cross street bladed. He also stated the plant replacement for plantings affected by recent cold snap is pending. The Board approved this item at the last Board meeting. He explained that both landscaping beds have been prepped for plan installation. All the dead plantings have been removed. After discussion, the Board approved a NTE for $2,500 for additional signs blocking off the Yarborough Way end of the street.
