As a result, and in accordance with applicable federal and state law, all District owned improvements, infrastructure and facilities are and shall remain open and accessible to the general public. Should you have any questions on this matter or any other general District issue, please feel free to contact the District Manager.
HURRICANE UPDATE IN THE DISTRICT
We hope everyone is safe and well from Hurricane Milton. Our biggest priority firsthand was getting the hazardous trees off of roadways, and making sure the district was operational. Our next steps in this process are assessing damages, repairs, supply ordering, etc. We are working closely with the district vendors on Hurricane cleanup and getting the community back up to standards. We ask for your patience through this process given it’s going to take time to recover and if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to (813) 344-4844.
SUPERVISORS’ REPORT
JUNE 2025
The CDD held its regular meeting at 2 PM, June 10, 2025, at the Club House.
Engineering Estimate for a Cost Analysis of the Pier in the amount of $7,500 was approved (conditionally). We still are working with FEMA, and do not want to pay for the analysis if there is no money forthcoming. If and when FEMA should grant us money to rebuild the pier, having the Cost Analysis approval would prevent a special meeting to seek approval.
Chairman Barkholz mentioned the necessity of a July meeting, and the Board decided that since the meeting has been posted, the meeting should be held.
District Manager Ferguson reported that we have roof samples for the Board to choose from at the next meeting.
Supervisor O’Connor reported having called the police because of trespassing beyond the sign on the pier. The police refused to talk to the person, saying that the pier is over public waters, and they would not confront anyone unless there were weapons, or a dangerous situation was presenting itself. All rules regarding the pier are CDD rules, and not the responsibility of the police to enforce them. It is a conundrum.
It was a short meeting and was adjourned at 2:30pm. Next meeting will be on July 8 at 2pm at the Club House. We hope to see you there. The summer months spark poor attendance, but we do appreciate those of you who do come and thank you for your support.
Judi O’Connor, Vice Chairman
