District Manager District Counsel District Counsel Resident Resident

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS	Roll Call
Mr. Luis Hernandez called the meeting to order and called the roll.

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Organizational Matters
A. Consideration of Appointment of Supervisor to Unexpired Term of Office for Seat #3
8. Oath of Office for Newly Appointed Supervisor
C. Election of Officers
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Item #2 is Organizational Matters. Does the Board have anyone to appoint to the vacant seat?
Mr. Valdes: Not right now.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Since we have a couple residents here, I will explain that there is a vacant seat on the Board. The Board has been trying to find someone who will be committed to attending the COD meetings. The problem that we have had, so that everyone is aware, is that once the individual is appointed to the seat, the Board of Supervisors lose control as to whether that person attends or not. So, I have encouraged

the Board to try to find someone who will continue to attend a few meetings before we appoint anyone, but so far that hasn't happened. If either of you are interested in being on the Board, I will recommend attending the next couple meetings. So, that is why the seat has been vacant.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Minutes of the May
28, 2021 Meeting
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Item #3 is Approval of Minutes of the May 28, 2021 Meeting; a copy of which were provided to you in the agenda packages on your tablets. This would be the time to make any changes, corrections, additions, or deletions. If there are none, then a motion to approve the minutes would be in order at this time.

On MOTION by Ms. Fayad seconded by Mr. Jesus Hernandez with all in favor the Minutes of the May 28, 2021 Meeting were approved fls-presented.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public	Hearing	to	Adopt	the
Fiscal Year 2022 Budget
A. Motion to Open the Public Hearing
Mr. Luis Hernandez: The next item is the Public Hearing to Adopt the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget. At this time I will need a motion to open the public hearing.

On   MOTION   by   Mr.   Valdes   seconded	by Mr. Jesus Hernandez with all in favor lbE')J>ublic hearing was op E!n

8.Public Comment and Discussion
Mr. Luis Hernandez: At this time we would take any public comment related to the budget. I have extra copies with me that I can give to the residents. Just for you to know, the District is required by the Florida Statutes to present the proposed budget by June 15th of each year, and we are required to adopt ii by September 15th of each year.  So, the Board presented the proposed budget at the March meeting, and today we will be adopting the final version. The important part for the homeowners to know is that it does not contemplate any increases and ii is the same amount that was levied this prior year. With that being said, and having no public comments or comments or questions from the Board, we can move on to the resolutions.

Consideration of Resolution #2021-06 Annual Appropriation Resolution
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Resolution #2021-06 Annual Appropriation Resolution. This resolution takes the District's proposed budget and makes it the adopted one. So, by approving the resolution, you will be adopting the budget. With that being said, unless anyone has any questions, the recommendation from staff is to approve Resolution #2021-06 at this time.

On MOTION by Mr. Jesus Hernandez seconded by Ms. Fayad with all in favor Resolution #2021-06 Annual Appropriation Resolution was approved.

Consideration of Resolution #2021-07 Levy of Non Ad Valorem Assessments
Mr. Luis Hernandez: The next item is Resolution #2021-07 Levy of Non Ad Valorem Assessments. This resolution allows the District to levy the operations and maintenance assessments on the Miami-Dade County tax roll. We have two different assessments included on the tax bill. All of them are required as part of the COD. The debt portion has already been done, but every year the Board needs to approve the resolution to do so with the operations and maintenance assessments. So, by approving Resolution #2021-07, the Board will be giving the District the powers to once again be able to levy on the Miami-Dade County tax bill.

On MOTION by Mr. Frye seconded by Mr. Valdes with all in favor Resolution #2021-07 Levy of Non Ad Valorem Assessments was approved.

Motion to Close the Public Hearing
Mr. Luis Hernandez:	At this time, I will just need a motion to close the public hearing, unless there are any questions regarding the now adopted budget.

On MOTION by Mr. Jesus Hernandez seconded by Mr. Valdeswith all in favor the public hearin <l.sc:lgsEJd..

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Rules
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Moving forward, next we have Discussion of Rules. Have any of the Supervisors gone over the rules to make any changes since we presented

them at the last meeting?	Keep in mind, we need to a clear understanding of what changes we want to make because those will need to be advertised. So, is this something we are ready to discuss, or do we need to table until there is time for further discussion?
Mr. Valdes: We haven't really had any issues at this point with what we have been doing. The hours seem to be working fine. We could, if the Board wanted to, go back to allowing two guests. We can change ii back to the normal, which is four guests per household just in case anyone wants to bring their families since summer is coming and the kids are out of school. The pool hasn't seemed to get that busy, so we are not really having issues with too many people. Is that going to change? It is anybody's guess. It is something we have been dealing with okay, but summer is always busier with family here. So, maybe we might want to go back to four guests per household and increase capacity from 75% to 100% in the gym and pool. Obviously, management and personnel here will have the ability to do any changes that are needed for safety reasons. Other than that, everything else should be the same.
Mr. Jesus Hernandez: What about events?
Mr. Valdes: Events are impossible. The only thing we are allowing is to change the capacity to 100% in the pool, only because they are really not getting that busy. I think a lot of people are still concerned that it may not be safe to hang around the pool full of kids or other people. People are getting vaccinated, but not at the rate that it should be, and there is no way to tell who is vaccinated or not, so you could be next to someone who claims they are, but you don't really know because you can't really ask. That is something we have been discussing. Robert works for the Fire Department and even they are mandated to wear masks indoors, even though they are all vaccinated. So, that tells you that there is still some level of concern. With the new variants coming out, we don't know what that is going to do and ii could flip the coin within a week and not give us time to change the rules, or we could just change them on an emergency basis. So, my suggestion at this point is to go back to 100% capacity, and anyone inside the clubhouse should still wear a mask out of safety concerns and next month we can see. Hopefully, we will be in a much better place by then. Is everybody okay with that?
Mr. Jesus Hernandez: Sounds good to me. As long as we keep the events closed because I think that will cause issues.

Mr. Valdes: Yes. It is impossible to have events here and pretend that there is going to be any type of safety. With enclosed areas, how do you put 40 or 50 people in one place? And that's just small events. Sometimes we get up to 100 people, at some events. Maximum capacity is 75, so ii would be impossible to hold an event inside. It is not even practical, not to mention maybe a liability.
Ms. Wald: The rules are in your agenda package. When we started discussing this at the last meeting, we discovered there was a conflict with a couple of the items in your current rules, so we discussed still needing to go through the rule-making process to clarify that, which requires an advertisement, two actually, 28 and 29 days prior to the public hearing. So, it is a little pricy to do the advertising. The Board had decided we needed to fix this conflict, which means we would need to have a rules public hearing and this also would give us opportunity to update and amend anything else. What I am hearing is that as of right now, there is nothing else that the Board wants to change, and what you are talking about is the operational functioning of the clubhouse and facilities, and getting away from emergency suspensions and moving towards normalcy.
Mr. Valdes: That is correct.
Ms. Wald: So, if you want to amend the rules, was there anything else that you think needs to be changed?
Mr. Luis Hernandez: The rules were included in the agenda package under Section 5, so that everyone can follow along with what we are discussing.
Ms. Wald: Being that we did discuss this at the last meeting, if the Board doesn't have anything else to change, I would ask for a motion to authorize staff to proceed with the advertisements and set the public hearing for whenever the next meeting that will allow enough time to publish those ads.
Mr. Valdes: Okay. I would like to sit down with you and go over them whenever you have a chance so we can make sure we covered everything.
Ms. Wald: If you want to do that, then let's go ahead and wait and defer moving forward with the public hearing since we might have additional changes.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Then I am going to suggest setting the rules public hearing for the September 24th meeting to give enough lime for that.
Ms. Wald: That is plenty of time. You and I can do that by then, Sergio.

Mr. Valdes: Okay.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: So, then the motion will be to authorize staff to advertise for the rules public hearing on September 24, 2021, which is our regular meeting date and time at this location.

On MOTION by Ms. Fayad seconded by Mr. Valdes with all in favor staff was authorized to advertise the rules public hearing for the September 24, 2021 meeting.

Mr. Valdes: Ginger, when do you want to get together?
Ms. Wald: Do me a favor and send me an email and let's schedule something. Mr. Valdes: Okay.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Moving forward to Staff Reports. Ginger, anything to report? Ms. Wald: I thought I was going to have it for this meeting, but at the next meeting,
I will have the legislative update memorandum in the agenda package, and I will go through it as we do every year. Other than that, did everyone get their Form 1's in?
Mr. Valdes: Yes.
Mr. Jesus Hernandez: Yes. Mr. Frye: Yes.
Ms. Fayad: Yes.
Ms. Wald: Yes, yes, yes, and yes. Good.
Mr. Luis Hernandez:	Not only that, we have a confirmation in the agenda that everyone has filed.
Ms. Wald: Okay, good.
Mr. Luis Hernandez:   My office was able to confirm that. It is under my report. Ms. Wald: Congratulations to everybody for filing on time. That is all I have then.

Engineer
Mr. Luis Hernandez: As to the District's engineer, there is nothing specific to present. The only thing that I do want to highlight is that as not only the Board knows, but the rest of the community has also seen that the cleanup of the drainage system,

which has made a big impact and improvement in the community. I am extremely pleased with that work. If anyone has any questions for the engineer, he is available via phone and we can call him.

Club
Mr. Luis Hernandez: As for the club, there are no particular matters that need to be presented at this point.

Manager
Number of Registered Voters in the District- 1,034
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Under Manager, I do have three items to present. The first one is to let the community know that there are currently 1,034 registered voters living within the District. The importance of that announcement is that is the reason the Supervisors are being elected through general elections controlled by the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections office. We have more than 250 registered voters and the District has been established for more than six years; therefore all of the Supervisors are being elected through the general elections process.

Consideration of Proposed Fiscal Year 2022 Meeting Schedule
Mr. Luis Hernandez:   Item #2 is the proposed fiscal year 2022 meeting schedule. It is suggested to have the meetings every other month, on October 22, 2021, then in December we have an exception due to the holidays, so we are suggesting December 17, 2021, February 25, 2022, April 22, 2022, June 24, 2022, and August 26, 2022. With that being said, unless anyone has any comments, the meetings would be on those dates at the same time as they usually are at 9:00 a.m. at this location, here at the Tuscany Village Clubhouse. If the Board is in acceptance with all of that, I will ask for a motion to approve the fiscal year meeting schedule, which will also authorize staff to advertise it.

On MOTION Mr. Valdes seconded by Ms. Fayad with all in favor the proposed fiscal year 2022 meeting schedule was approved as-presented.

Discussion of Financial Disclosure Report - everyone has filed
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Item #3, as Ginger has indicated, and a copy of which has been included in the agenda package, all of the Supervisors have filed their forms. So,

congratulations to all of the Supervisors for that. I have nothing else to report, unless anyone has any questions for me. Hearing none, we can move on to the next item.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
Approval of Check Run Summary
Balance Sheet and Income Statement
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Moving forward, next we have the Financial Reports, which you will find under Section VII. Tab A contains the check run summary and tab B has the balance sheet and income statement. With that being said, do any of the Supervisors have any questions on the financials? Hearing none, I will be asking for a motion to approve them at this time.

On MOTION by Mr. Jesus Hernandez seconded by Mr. Valdes with all in favor the check run summary and the balance sheet and income statement were approved.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors	Requests
Audience Comments

and

Mr. Luis Hernandez: Are there any Supervisors requests? Hearing none, are there any audience comments?
A resident: Is there any way to post all of this online? Most of the residents don't even know these meetings exist.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Just for you to know, this meeting, being a public hearing, was required to be advertised in a newspaper that is distributed in Miami-Dade County. There is also a webpage for the COD, which is listed at the bottom of this agenda page. The meeting schedule that the Board just approved also will be advertised.
A resident: Why does it have to be advertised in a newspaper? Mr. Luis Hernandez: It is required by the Florida Statutes.
A resident: Why can't that information just be put in our mailboxes, too? I am not trying to be difficult. Just curious.
Ms. Wald: There are certain requirements as per the Florida Statutes. We have to advertise in a newspaper in Miami-Dade County and post certain information on the District's website. Anything else beyond that can be done. There is nothing that says

that can't be done, it is just that costs money. So, if the Board chooses to do some sort of notification, they can do so, but it is not a requirement of them. If it is something the Board wants to do, they can discuss that.
Mr. Valdes: On the fourth Friday, not every single month, you heard there were specific scheduled dates. We can give you those again so you will already know the dates of our meetings. They fall on the fourth Fridays of the month at 9:00 a.m.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: And that information is also posted on the District's webpage.
Mr. Valdes: We don't meet every month ifwe don't have anything to discuss. We also have a secretary and managing company here if there is anything that needs to be handled, but the schedule has just been set for all of the meetings. It was in the agenda package and Luis can repeat those so that you will have them if you want them. And if you have any questions, like is there going to be a meeting this month, you can always call Patricia and she will be able to tell you. The meetings fall on the fourth Friday of the month when we have a scheduled meeting, and again it is not every month, but they are always here at the same time. That makes it easier to be able to remember. At the end of the day it is always the same time. The HOA is different because those meetings are not advertised the same way and I don't think they have a website like the COD does. You can also log onto the website for the information.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: From the administrative side, let me tell you, if the Board says that we need to post something, it means that someone needs to do so. If that doesn't take place, we are not fulfilling the requirements requested. On the contrary, if it is not required by the Florida Statutes, the list that you will see in the agenda package is going to be advertised everywhere that the District is required to. Also, the mailboxes belong to the HOA, the only part we own is this facility. We can post information on the board here, we used to.
A resident: If you can't put anything in the mailboxes, putting information on the board here would be helpful so that the residents who do frequent the clubhouse can see it. I have lived here for a while, but I just recently found out about these meetings.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Just for you to know, it was mandated by Miami-Dade County to send a letter each year as part of the TRIM notice, letting you know about the District and the assessments being levied. The District has fulfilled those requirements. It also

used to be, and I will make sure that it starts getting posted again, that we had the schedule for the COD meetings, but the other part that I can tell you that since around 2009, we have been having the meetings here and it has always been on a Friday at 9:00
a.m. In all of those years that have passed by, we have had only a handful of people show up to all of those meetings. By making that statement, it is not that the District is not trying to get the community involved or hide anything.
A resident: I was not trying to insinuate that; it was just a simple question, is it something we can do?
Mr. Luis Hernandez: Sure. Posting on the bulletin board is not a problem.
A resident: One issue is that some people are not able to come to the meetings, they may want to but are not able to because they are at 9:00 a.m. on a Friday morning when most people are at work.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: We have tried different hours. We have tried at night. No one has shown up. When the notice is being sent, if anyone wants to attend by phone or virtually, we have options for them to do so. We use GoToMeeting and the time and place is provided so if someone wants to attend virtually or by phone, they can do so. So, the part I can tell you is that the Board has tried different hours, and the reason that we are doing it at 9:00 a.m. is because that is what has been the most convenient for this Board and other people can maybe take an hour or two off early, come to the meetings, then go to work. That is the reason we chose early morning and that seems to be working. If there are other suggestions, you can certainly pass those on to me and the Board for their consideration, but the past, different hours have been tried without success.
Mr. Valdes: Also, we have the HOA meeting at six o'clock at night, and only two or three people at most attend. Nobody shows up. Going back to the letters that Luis mentioned his office sends because they are a requirement from the state, and Miami­ Dade County, most likely they just look at those, just like they do with the HOA information that is sent, if they even do that, and throw them away. You spend the money on the letter, and many people just throw them away. The painters are having a hard time now getting the buildings to be free of cars so they won't be over-sprayed with paint. Even though a letter about the budget gets sent out to every single homeowner whenever there is a change to the budget, but nobody ever attends the meetings or says anything. If they

June 25, 2021	South Kendall COD

do attend the meeting, most of the time it is because they don't understand the letter, so you will get three or four people coming in here, screaming about the assessments going up until it is explained to them so that they understand. The renters don't care, a lot of the homeowners don't live here, and a lot of the homeowners who do live here, the realtors never told them if they are new about the COD. We have had people who are homeowners here for three and four years, and then they show up here three or four years later saying they didn't know about the COD. We aren't supposed to have to explain all of that to them. Their realtors were supposed to explain that when they purchased their property. That is why a lot of people don't know if there is a meeting, but for everyone's convenience, we hold the meetings at the same time on the same days. We can post the meeting schedule on the bulletin board. We don't meet every month, but we do meet a few times a year.
A resident: I know some homeowners who are interested and will want to be more involved in my neighborhood. We have had a lot of issues with people who are renting and it is affecting the neighborhood.
A resident: If at least some of us can start getting involved we can go back and tell others in hopes they will, as well.
Mr. Luis Hernandez: I will give you my contact information. Keep me posted of any issues, and I will make sure it gets back to the Board if need be. Are there any other questions or issues? Hearing none, we can move on.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

Mr. Luis Hernandez: Unless anyone has anything else to discuss, a motion to adjourn the meeting would be in order.

/6

On MOTION by Mr. Jesus Hernandez seconded by Ms. Fayad with all in favor the meeting was adjourned.
