Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Budget and Setting the Public Hearing on the Adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Budget (Setting Date: July 23, 2026)
Ms. Burns presented Resolution 2026-12 which approves the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and sets a public hearing for July 23, 2026. The proposed budget includes several increases:
$6,000 was added for a reserve study because District-owned property is now complete and the amenities are open; landscape maintenance, landscape replacement, and lake maintenance were also increased; and amenity electric and water costs were adjusted based on actual expenses. The assessment would increase by $69.89 per lot, from $1,030.11 to $1,100, but this remains within the previously noticed amount, so no mailed notice is required. All 577 units are subject to the same platted lot assessment rate.
