SPECIAL DISTRICT (CDD) ELECTION PROCEDURES

Landowners’ Meeting
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, it is required that an initial meeting of the Landowners of the District be held within ninety (90) days following the effective date of the rule or ordinance establishing the District and thereafter every two (2) years during the month of November for the purpose of electing Supervisors. The second election by landowners shall be held on the first Tuesday in November; thereafter, there shall be an election of supervisors every two (2) years in November on a date established by the Board of Supervisors. The assembled Landowners shall organize by electing a Chairperson, who shall preside over the meeting; and a Secretary shall also be elected for recording purposes.

Establishment of Quorum
Any Landowner(s) present or voting by proxy shall constitute a quorum at the meeting of the Landowners.

Nomination of Candidates
At the meeting, the Chairperson shall call for nominations from the floor for Candidates for the Board of Supervisors. When there are no further nominations, the Chairperson shall close the floor for nominations. The names of each Candidate and the spelling of their names shall be announced. Nominees need not be present to be nominated.

Voting
Each Landowner shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote for each acre (or lot parcel), or any fraction thereof, of land owned by him or her in the District, for each open position on the Board. (For example, if there are three (3) positions open, an owner of one (1) acre or less (or one lot parcel) may cast one (1) vote for each of the three (3) positions. An owner of two (2) acres (or two lot parcels) may cast two (2) votes for each of the three (3) positions.) Each Landowner shall be entitled to vote either in person or by a representative present with a lawful written proxy.

Registration for Casting Ballots
The registration process for the casting of ballots by Landowners or their representatives holding their proxies shall be as follows:

Page 2

At the Landowners’ Meeting and prior to the commencement of the first casting of ballots for a Board of Supervisor position, each Landowner, or their representative if proxies are being submitted in lieu thereof, shall be directed to register their attendance and the total number of votes by acreage (or lot parcels) to which each claims to be entitled, with the elected Secretary of the meeting or the District’s Manager.

At such registration, each Landowner, or their representative with a lawful proxy, shall be provided a numbered ballot for the Board of Supervisor position(s) open for election. A District representative will mark on the ballot the number of votes that such Landowner, or their representative, is registered to cast for each Board of Supervisor position open for election.

All Landowner proxies shall be collected at the time of registration and retained with the Official Records of the District for subsequent certification or verification, if required.

Casting of Ballots
Registration and the issuance of ballots shall cease once the Chairperson calls for the commencement of the casting of ballots for the election of a Board of Supervisor(s) and thereafter no additional ballots shall be issued.
The Chairperson will declare that the Landowners, or their representatives, be requested to cast their ballots for the Board of Supervisor(s). Once the ballots have been cast, the Chairperson will call for a collection of the ballots.
Counting of Ballots
Following the collection of ballots, the Secretary or District Manager shall be responsible for the tabulation of ballots in order to determine the total number of votes cast for each candidate that is seeking election.
At the second and subsequent landowner elections*, the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be declared by the Chairperson as elected to the Board of Supervisors for four-year terms. The candidate receiving the next highest number of votes will fill the remaining open position on the Board of Supervisors for a two-year term, as declared by the Chairperson.
* At the final landowner election (after the 6th or 10th year), the candidate receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Supervisors for a four-year term (two (2) supervisors are elected by General Election).
Contesting of Election Results
Following the election and announcement of the votes, the Chairperson shall ask the Landowners present, or those representatives holding proxies for Landowners, whether they wish to contest the election results. If no contests are received, said election results shall thereupon be certified.
If there is a contest, the contest must be addressed to the Chairperson and thereupon the individual casting a ballot that is being contested will be required to provide proof of ownership of the acreage (or lot parcels) for which they voted at the election within five (5) business days of the Landowners’ Meeting. The proof of ownership shall be submitted to the District Manager who will thereupon consult with the District’s General Counsel and together they will review the material provided and will determine the legality of the contested ballot(s). Once the contests are resolved, the Chairperson shall reconvene the Landowners’ Meeting and thereupon certify the election results.

Recessing of Annual Landowners’ Meeting
In the event there is a contest of a ballot or of the election, the Landowners’ Meeting shall be recessed to a future time, date and location, at which time the election findings on the contest shall be reported in accordance with the procedure above and the newly elected Supervisor(s) shall thereupon take their Oath of Office.

Miscellaneous Provisions
Each Landowner shall only be entitled to vote in person or by means of a representative attending in person and holding a lawful written proxy in order to cast said Landowner’s votes.

Proxies will not require that proof of acreage (or lot parcel) ownership be attached. Rather, proof of ownership must be provided timely by the holder of the proxy, if the proxy is contested in accordance with the procedure above.

MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	July 7, 2022

RE:	2022 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 2022 – 220, Laws of Florida (HB 7055). The legislation prohibits state agencies and local governments from paying or otherwise complying with a ransomware incident and establishes penalties and fines for certain ransomware offenses against a government entity1. The law provides that a ransomware offense is punishable as a first degree felony. The legislation further provides that an employee or contractor of a government entity, with access to the government entity’s network, who willfully and knowingly aids or abets another in the commission of a ransomware offense against the government entity commits a felony of the first degree. The law defines the severity level of a cybersecurity incident in accordance with the National Cyber Incident Response Plan. State agencies and local governments must report all ransomware incidents and high severity level cybersecurity incidents to the Cybersecurity Operations Center and the Cybercrime Office within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement as soon as possible, but no later than 12 hours after the discovery of the incident. Local Governments must also report the incident to the local sheriff’s office. The legislation requires state agency and local government employees to undergo certain cybersecurity training within 30 days of employment and annually thereafter. The law requires local governments to adopt cybersecurity standards that safeguard the local government’s data, information technology (IT), and IT resources. Counties with a population less than 75,000 and municipalities with a population less than 25,000 must adopt the standards by January 1, 2025. The legislation expands the purpose of the Cybersecurity Advisory Council (CAC) to include advising local governments on cybersecurity and requires the CAC to examine reported cybersecurity and ransomware incidents to develop best practice recommendations. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 221, Laws of Florida (HB 7057). The legislation provides a general public record exemption in ch. 119, F.S., for the following information held by an agency:

1 The bill defines the term “government entity” to mean any official, officer, commission, board, authority, council, committee, or department of the executive, judicial, or legislative branch of state government; state universities; and any county or municipality, special district, water management district, and any other district in this state.

Coverage limits and deductible or self-insurance amounts of insurance or other risk mitigation coverages acquired for the protection of IT systems, operational technology systems, or data of an agency.
Information relating to critical infrastructure.
Network schematics, hardware and software configurations, or encryption information or information that identifies detection, investigation, or response practices for suspected or confirmed cybersecurity incidents.
Cybersecurity incident information reported pursuant to Sections 282.318 or 282.3185, F.S.

The law also creates a public meeting exemption for any portion of a meeting that would reveal confidential and exempt information; however, any portion of an exempt meeting must be recorded and transcribed. The recording and transcript are confidential and exempt from public record requirements. The legislation provides for release of the confidential and exempt information in certain instances and authorizes agencies to report information about cybersecurity incidents in an aggregate format. The law provides for repeal of the exemptions on October 2, 2027, unless reviewed and saved from repeal by the Legislature, and provides a public necessity statement as required by the Florida Constitution. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 140, Laws of Florida (HB 7001). In 2018, the electorate of Florida amended the state constitution to prohibit lobbying by certain public officers both during public service and for a six-year period after leaving public office. This legislation implements the new constitutional public officer lobbying prohibitions. The prohibitions address lobbying on issues of policy, appropriations, or procurement before the federal government, the legislature, any state government body or agency, or any political subdivision. It provides that the prohibitions apply to persons in public office on or after December 31, 2022. It authorizes the Commission on Ethics (Commission) to investigate and determine violations of the new prohibitions. The bill provides a range of penalties for violations and directs the Commission to report post-service lobbying violations and recommended punishment to the Governor for imposition of penalties. The prohibitions affect the following officers:

Statewide elected officers;
Members of the Legislature;
County commissioners;
Constitutional county officers and county charter officers;
School board members;
School superintendents;
Elected municipal officers,
Elected special district officers in special districts with ad valorem taxing authority; and
Secretaries, executive directors, and other administrative heads of executive branch departments.

The effective date of this act is December 31, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 97, Laws of Florida (HB 7071). The legislation provides for a number of tax reductions and other tax-related modifications designed to directly impact both families and businesses. Of interest to Special Districts is the provision that provides tax relief to parcel owners affected by a sudden and unforeseen collapse of a residential building. The law requires the tax collector to abate all taxes and non-ad valorem assessments for the year in which the destruction occurred, and the property appraiser must notify the owners of the abatement. The condition of the residential improvement on January 1 of the year the property was destroyed must have been in such a state that the residential improvement had no value due to a latent defect of the property not readily discernable by inspection. Parcel owners whose property tax is abated are not required to make a payment and property appraisers and tax collectors are prohibited from issuing tax notices. The legislation requires tax collectors to refund tax payments made for taxes levied in the year of collapse. The law requires value adjustment boards to dismiss petitions from parcel owners challenging the value of the parcel for the year of the collapse. The legislation also provides for the following sales tax holidays:

Back to School July 25 to August 7
Disaster Preparedness May 28 to June 10
Energy Star Appliances September 1 to February 28
Freedom Week2 July 1 to July 7
Tools used by Skilled Trade Workers September 3 to September 9
Diapers July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Baby and Toddler Clothing July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023
Children’s Books May 14 to August 14
Impact resistant Windows and Doors July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024

Section 197.3195, Florida Statutes, as created by this act, applies retroactively to January 1, 2021. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 83, Laws of Florida (HB 1411). The legislation promotes the use of floating solar facilities by requiring local governments to allow these facilities as a permitted use under certain conditions and to amend its land development regulations to promote the use of floating solar. Floating solar is a concept that refers to any type of solar array that floats atop a body of water. The legislation defines “floating solar facility” as a solar facility, as defined in s. 163.3205(2), F.S., which is located on wastewater treatment ponds, abandoned limerock mine areas, stormwater treatment ponds, reclaimed water ponds, or other water storage reservoirs. Under the law, counties and municipalities may adopt ordinances specifying buffer and landscaping requirements for floating solar facilities, however, such requirements may not exceed the requirements for similar uses involving the construction of other solar facilities that are permitted uses in agricultural land use categories and zoning districts. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 202, Laws of Florida (HB 967). The legislation requires the turfgrass science program at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences

2 Specified admissions (live music events, live sporting events, movie theater tickets, gym access, entry to fairs and festivals, etc.) and items related to recreational activities.

(UF/IFAS), in coordination with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), to administer certification for golf course best management practices (BMPs) in order to provide a means of documenting and ensuring compliance with BMPs for fertilizer application to golf courses. The law requires UF/IFAS to provide training and testing certification programs and to issue certificates demonstrating completion of such programs. The certification expires four years after the date of issuance, and recertification is available if an applicant completes continuing education. Persons certified in golf course BMPs are exempt from additional local training and from local ordinances relating to water and fertilizer use, blackout periods, or restrictions unless a state of emergency is declared. The legislation encourages UF/IFAS to create a registry of persons certified on its website. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 103, Laws of Florida (HB 7049). The legislation gives a governmental agency the option to publish its legal notices on the publicly accessible website of the county in which it lies instead of in a printed newspaper or on a newspaper’s website if doing so would cost less than publishing legal notices in a newspaper. The law requires a special district spanning the geographic boundaries of more than one county and opting to publish legal notices on a publicly accessible website to publish its legal notices on the publicly accessible website of each county within its boundaries. A link to legal notices published on a publicly accessible website must be conspicuously placed on or accessible through a direct link from the (1) publicly accessible website’s homepage; and (2) the homepage of the website of each governmental agency publishing legal notices online. A governmental agency publishing legal notices on a publicly accessible website must (1) give notice in a newspaper or in a mailed or delivered publication, at least annually, that property owners and residents may receive legal notices from the governmental agency by first-class mail or e-mail upon registering with the agency; and (2) maintain a registry of property owners and residents who request in writing to receive legal notices from the governmental agency by mail or e-mail. The effective date of this act is January 1, 2023.

Chapter 2022 – 216, Laws of Florida (HB 1057). The legislation provides that when an agency is determining whether a vendor is a responsible vendor, an agency may establish financial stability criteria and require a vendor to demonstrate its financial stability. If an agency requires a vendor to demonstrate its financial stability during the competitive solicitation process, the agency must accept any of the following documents as evidence of the vendor’s financial stability:

Audited financial statements that demonstrate the vendor’s satisfaction of financial stability criteria.
Documentation of an investment grade rating from a credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For a vendor with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion, a letter containing a written declaration issued by the chief financial officer or controller attesting that the vendor is financially stable and meets the definition of financial stability.
For a vendor with annual revenues of $1 billion or less, documentation, based on criteria established by the agency, evidencing that the vendor is financially stable and meets the definition of financial stability. The criteria established by the agency must be reasonably related to the value of the contract and may not include audited financial statements.

The law does not prohibit agencies from accepting additional documentation as evidence of financial stability and it does not preclude an agency from requiring a performance bond for the duration of the contract, when appropriate. The legislation defines the term “financial stability” to mean, at a minimum, having adequate income and capital and the capacity to efficiently allocate resources, assess and manage financial risks, and maintain financial soundness through the term of the contract. The legislation is effective upon becoming law.

Chapter 2022 – 190, Laws of Florida (SB 1062). The relevant portion of this legislation provides that service of process against any municipal corporation, agency, board, commission, department, subdivision of the state or any county that has a governing board, council, or commission or which is a body corporate must be served on the registered agent. However, if the entity does not have a registered agent, or if the registered agent cannot be served after one good faith attempt, the entity must be served:

On the president, mayor, chair, or other head thereof, and in the absence of the aforementioned;
On the vice president, vice mayor, or vice chair, and in the absence of the aforementioned;
On any member of the governing board, council, or commission, the manager of the governmental entity, or an in-house attorney for the governmental entity, and in the absence of the aforementioned;
On any employee of the governmental entity at the main office of the governmental entity.

The effective date of this legislation is January 2, 2023.

Chapter 2022 – 76, Laws of Florida (SB 882). The legislation requires each of the state’s five regional water management districts (WMD), as part of its district water management plan and in cooperation with local governments, to develop a list of critical wetlands to be acquired using funds from the Land Acquisition Trust Fund. The WMD must consider the following criteria in designating a wetland for inclusion on the list:

The ecological value of the wetland as determined by the physical and biological components of the environmental system;
The effect of the wetland on water quality and flood mitigation;
The ecosystem restoration value of the wetland; and
The inherent susceptibility of the wetland to development due to its geographical location or natural aesthetics.

The law requires that before adopting or amending its list of critical wetlands, each WMD must notify property owners whose property the WMD is contemplating including on the list. A property owner who wishes to remove their property from the list must submit a letter to the WMD requesting such removal and sufficiently identifying the property. The WMD must approve the removal if those requirements are met. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 121, Laws of Florida (SB 518). The legislation amends s. 163.045, F.S., to clarify that a local government may not burden a property owner’s rights to prune, trim, or remove trees on his or her own residential property if the tree “poses an unacceptable risk” to

persons or property and the property owner possesses “documentation” from a landscape architect or certified arborist. A tree poses an “unacceptable risk” if removal is the only means of practically mitigating the risk below “moderate.” The law also adds definitions for the terms “documentation” and “residential property.” The definition for “documentation” requires that an onsite assessment be made in a certain manner by a specified type of certified arborist or architect. The bill defines “residential property” as a single-family detached building located on a lot that is actively used for single-family residential purposes. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 89, Laws of Florida (HB 7053). To assist local governments in resilience planning, this legislation creates the Resilient Florida Grant Program (grant program), which authorizes the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to provide grants to a city or county to fund the costs of community resilience planning. In addition, the law directs DEP to develop an annual Statewide Flooding and Sea Level Rise Resilience Plan (plan), which consists of a list of ranked projects submitted by cities and counties that address risks posed by flooding and sea-level rise. With respect to the plan, the legislation requires DEP to rank and include in the plan all eligible projects that were submitted for the plan and to include a detailed narrative overview describing how the plan was developed. The bill authorizes special districts that are responsible for the management and maintenance of inlets and intracoastal waterways or for the operation and maintenance of a potable water facility, a wastewater facility, an airport, or a seaport facility to submit projects for inclusion in the plan. This act is effective July 1, 2022.

Chapter 2022 – 266, Laws of Florida (SB 4-C). This legislation dissolves all independent special districts established by a special act prior to the ratification of the Florida Constitution on November 5, 1968, if those districts have not been reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise reconstituted by special act or general law after such date. Such special districts will be dissolved effective June 1, 2023. The following six districts appear to operate pursuant to a charter, which predates the 1968 Florida Constitution and was not reestablished, re-ratified, or otherwise reconstituted by a special act or general law after November 5, 1968:

Bradford County Development Authority (Bradford County)
Sunshine Water Control District (Broward County)
Eastpoint Water and Sewer District (Franklin County)
Hamilton County Development Authority (Hamilton County)
Reedy Creek Improvement District (Orange and Osceola Counties)
Marion County Law Library (Marion County)

The law allows an independent special district affected by the bill to be re-established on or after June 1, 2023, pursuant to the requirements and limitations of ch. 189 F.S. When there is a dissolution of a special district government, the special district transfers the title to all property owned by the preexisting special district to the local general-purpose government, either a county or municipality, which shall also assume all indebtedness of the preexisting special district. This act is effective July 1, 2022.

For convenience, we have included copies of the legislation referenced in this memorandum. We request that you include this memorandum as part of the agenda packages for upcoming meetings of the governing boards of those special districts in which you serve as the

District Manager and this firm serves as District Counsel. For purposes of the agenda package, it is not necessary to include the attached legislation, as we can provide copies to anyone requesting the same. Copies of the referenced legislation are also accessible by visiting this link: http://laws.flrules.org/.
