APPROVAL OF MINUTES
April 13, 2026, Regular Board Meeting

Mrs. Perez presented the minutes of the April 13, 2026, Regular Board Meeting.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Collazo, seconded by Supervisor Corradini and passed unanimously approving the minutes of the April 13, 2026, Regular Board Meeting, as presented.

NEW BUSINESS

Consider Resolution No. 2026-01 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Proposed Budget

Mrs. Perez presented Resolution No. 2026-01, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CUTLER CAY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mrs. Perez noted that changes could be made as needed and directed by the Board and further indicated that at the Final Budget Public Hearing the Board could only reduce, but not increase, the adopted budget.

The Debt Service Assessment is at the maximum rate of Series 2021. The Administrative Budget is higher than last year; Legal & Legal Advertising has increased. The maintenance budget has increased substantially due to various projects and new requirements. Budget amounts allocated at the recommendation of the District Engineer have been included. We have lowered certain budget line items to offset the increases to the stormwater management system, roads and retention wall, etc. No carryover balance has been applied to the presented budget.

Mrs. Perez referred to the previously presented FY 2026/2027 Proposed Budget Draft Summary and outline available in the meeting minutes from the previous meeting and in the current meeting book materials, as a reference point.
Financial Overview
The Debt Service Assessment is at the maximum rate of Series 2021 Bond.
The Administrative Budget is slightly higher than last year.
The maintenance budget is lower than last year. Certain Budget amounts are allocated per the recommendation of the District engineer have been included.
No carryover balance has been applied to the presented Draft Budget.
Estimated available funds as of September 30, 2026 are anticipated to be approximately
$1,000,000 subject to unforeseen expenses.

Reserve Position (as of March 31, 2026)		
Reserve for Project/Lake Bank Erosion as of 3/31/26*	$ 140,425.00	
Reserve for Roads Maintenance as of 3/31/26	$ 257,900.00	
Reserve for Stormwater Drainage as of 3/31/26	$ 122,800.00	
Reserve for Pipe Repairs Project as of 3/31/26	$ 208,000.00	
Reserve for Entry Features as of 3/31/26	$  -	
Reserve for Guardhouse Exterior Maintenance as of 3/31/26	$  -	
Total Reserves as of 3/31/26	$ 729,125.00	
* To be updated upon receipt of invoice from Landshore Enterprises as this is an active project.

These reserves support long-term capital planning and reduce the need for future assessment shock.

Because the presented budget overall assessment for 2026/2027 is lower than the 2025/2026 assessment, letters to residents will not be required.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Dr. Penn Williams, seconded by Supervisor Corradini and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2026-01, as presented, approving a Proposed Budget for Fiscal

Year 2026/2027 and Setting the Public Hearing for finalization for July 13, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Cutler Cay Community Clubhouse located at 7755 SW 192nd Street, Cutler Bay, Florida 33157; and further authorizing the required advertisements.

Professional Engineer Review of RFQ Engineering Responses, Ranking and Selection
Mrs. Perez recessed the Regular Meeting and called to order the Selection Committee (therefore the Board is now acting as the Selection Committee).

Mrs. Perez advised that the legal advertisement had been published in the Miami Herald on March 19, 2026, and responses were due by April 29, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The District received only one submittal from the firm of Colliers Engineering & Design, which was posted on the District website and provided via handout at the meeting. She added that it would be in order for the Board to review the materials provided, conduct the ranking and make recommendations for selection.

The District only received one (1) submittal, therefore should they proceed with this process they would be ranked as number 1. Mrs. Perez noted that Colliers Engineering & Design met the criteria previously approved by the Board. She further noted that this process could not be ranked on price/rates, but negotiations would set forth an hourly rate schedule. It will be up to the Board if the engineer is to attend meetings routinely or as required. Ms. Smoker elaborated on the process.

It was noted that the standard procedure would be for the Board to accept and attempt negotiations. A discussion ensued after which:

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Dr. Penn Williams, seconded by Supervisor Milian and unanimously passed waiving the three minimum qualifications requirement and Ranking Colliers Engineering & Design as No.1 and recommending negotiations for the engagement of services.

Mrs. Perez then closed the Selection Committee Meeting and reconvened the Regular Meeting.

As procedurally required, the District Board now needs to consider, via a motion, the recommendation of the Selection Committee.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Dr. Penn Williams, seconded by Supervisor Corradini and unanimously passed waiving the three minimum qualifications requirement and ranking Colliers Engineering & Design as No.1.

Mr. Collings-Bonfill of Colliers Engineering & Design was present, as requested by the Board, and provided his rate sheet for review and Board consideration. Mrs. Perez presented the Board with a handout of the current engineering rates.

Discussions ensued followed by a MOTION being made by Supervisor Dr. Penn Williams, approving the rates provided by the Colliers Engineering & Design firm, Ranked as No. 1, and to engage the firm to serve as the District Engineer; further directing District Counsel to prepare an agreement and for the District Manager to execute on behalf of the District. This MOTION died for lack of a second.

Chairman Fonte went on to negotiate the rates that were presented and asked that they be lowered. Supervisor Milian calculated the percentages that were being increased by consideration of the change of District Engineer. The Board Members collectively went on to negotiate the rates with Mr. Collings-Bonfill. Mr. Collings-Bonfill agreed to lower three of the rates as follows:

Principal from proposed $300 per hour to $285 per hour
Senior Project Manager from proposed $250 per hour to $240 per hour Project Manager from proposed $215 per hour to $210 per hour

Mr. Collings-Bonfill agreed that the rates would not be increased during the first two (2) years and that when they do, they will not exceed the CPI (Consumer Price Index) rates.

Additionally, Mr. Collings-Bonfill agreed that travel time would not be charged at an hourly rate but instead at the standard mileage rate with the start location being from the local office and there will also be a District thirty (30) day termination clause.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Collazo, seconded by Supervisor Fonte and unanimously passed approving the District Board negotiated rates, as indicated, to the rates provided by Colliers Engineering & Design firm, Ranked as No. 1, and engaging the firm to serve as the District Engineer; further directing District Counsel to prepare an agreement to include the agreed negotiated rates and holding the same rates for the first two years with future rate increases not to exceed the approved CPI; travel time to be charged at the standard mileage rate with the start location being from the local office and will also include a District thirty (30) day termination clause; and for the District Manager to execute same on behalf of the District.

Mrs. Perez was asked to contact Alvarez Engineers to check if Mr. Alvarez agrees to a termination date sooner than the required 30-day termination date; if possible, reduce it to 15 days and include the turnover of documents. In addition, the Board authorized a meeting between the two engineering teams to go over all open projects and to have Alvarez Engineers address any questions the Colliers Engineering & Design team may have.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Dr. Penn Williams, seconded by Supervisor Corradini and unanimously passed directing District Counsel to prepare a notice of termination for Alvarez Engineering designating and providing for a termination date effective as of the agreed date if possible prior the thirty-day requirement and for the transfer of all information and documentation.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Milian, seconded by Supervisor Collazo, and unanimously passed directing District Management to acquire a proposal from Colliers Engineering & Design for services of the transaction of documents. Simultaneously authorizing the Chairman to approve on behalf of the District Board and for District management to execute on behalf of the Board.

Chairman Fonte recommended that a memo be sent to all contractors notifying them of the change of contractors.

MEMORANDUM
TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing Cochran, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	June 11, 2026

RE:	2026 Legislative Update

As District Counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor pending legislation that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our Community Development District and other Special District clients. It is at this time of year that we summarize those legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session, as follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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