MINUTES OF MEETING VIERA EAST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the Viera East Community Development District was held on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at Faith Lutheran Church, 5550 Faith Drive, Viera, Florida. Present and constituting a quorum were: Jennifer DeVries Chair Rob Dale Vice Chair Bill Macheras Treasurer Denise Yelvington Assistant Secretary Also present were: Jason Showe District Manager Jeremy LeBrun GMS Jim Moller Golf Maintenance Superintendent Michelle Webb Lifestyle/Marketing Director FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Roll Call Mr. Showe called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. All Supervisors were present with the exception ofMr. Rysztogi. SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Pledge of Allegiance The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Comment Period Mr. Showe: The next item we have is the public comment period. I'll let the record reflect that we only have members of the Board and staff present. August 28, 2025 Viera East COD FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Approval of Minutes of the July 31, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting Mr. Showe: We have approval of minutes of the July 31, 2025 Board of Supervisors meeting. Those minutes are in your agenda package. We can take any corrections or changes at this time. Ms. Yelvington: There's one typo. We have FICO instead of FICA on Page 7. Ms. De Vries: Maybe you could just do a search. I see one on Page 4. So, maybe just do a search and replace FICO with FICA. Ms. Yelvington: I think that was the only one I saw. The rest all said FICA, but because FICO is actually something, I didn't think we wanted it to say FICO. Mr. Dale: That is our credit score. Ms. De Vries: Are there any other comments on the minutes? If not, does anyone want to make a motion to approve? On MOTION by Mr. Macheras seconded by Ms. Yelvington with all in favor the Minutes of the July 31, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting were approved as amended. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Hearing A. Rules and Rates Hearing i. Consideration of Amendments to Attachment A to Chapter IV of the Rules of Procedure ii. Consideration of Golf Course Rates for Fiscal Year 2026 Mr. Showe: At this time, we will proceed to our public hearing for the rules and rates, as well as the budgets. We'll first take a motion to open the public hearings. On MOTION by Mr. Macheras seconded by Ms. Yelvington with all in favor the public hearings for the rules and rates and the Fiscal Year 2026 budget were open. Mr. Showe: The public hearing is open. The first item is consideration of amendments to Attachment A, which are the rules. I will note that we haven't made any changes to the rules, since you were last presented them. The major change this year, was just to allow golf gas carts of specific model types that Jim specked out. Other than that, we have no changes to the rules. 2 August 28,2025 Viera East CDD But we can certainly take any comments from the Board. Again, we'll let the record reflect, that no members of the public are here to provide any comments. Mr. Macheras: So, Jim, remind me of the ease of ways to identify those carts. Do they have stickers or something on them? How do we know? Mr. Moller: Usually, they will have a little tag. It will be like an electronic fuel injector (EPI) tag. That's basically what it ' is. The old, carbureted gas-powered engines are so much noisier. We just changed it to 2016 EFI's or newer. Mr. Macheras: Okay. Mr. Showe: All carts have to be approved by the golf course. Mr. Moller: Yes. So, if any new cart comes in, we check the tires and things like that, make sure they're not too aggressive. Ms. Yelvington: It says, "golfcars. " Can we change that to "carts" in that paragraph? It says it a few times. Mr. Macheras: Which paragraph? Ms. Yelvington: The paragraph for personal golf carts. It starts with golf carts, but then it goes to golf cars in bold. Ms. DeVries: We can make a motion with the correction. Ms. Yelvington MOVED to adopt the Amendments to Attachment A to Chapter IV of the Rules of Procedure as amended and Mr. Dale seconded the motion. Ms. DeVries: Is there any discussion? Hearing none. On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the Amendments to Attachment A to Chapter IV of the Rules of Procedure as amended were adopted. Mr. Showe: With that, then the next item is consideration of the golf course rates. We'll let Jim quickly go through the rates with you. They haven't changed since the last time you saw them. Mr. Moller: Yeah, it is pretty much just a straightforward 7% increase across the board. I know year to date; our overall costs have gone up. Well, our golf operations maintenance coste; 3 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD have gone up 7.5%. Our total expense has gone up 5.6%. So, I figured 7% is a good increase to keep up with. Mr. Dale: Middle of the road. Mr. Moller: Yeah. Mr. Dale: I still feel like we're playing catch up from the early Covid years to an extent. Mr. Moller: True. But I don't want to get too aggressive with increases, just because I know there is a certain market for golf in Brevard County and I really don't want to pass that threshold and out price ourselves in the market. Mr. Dale: I agree. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Are there any other comments, questions or concerns about the rates? Mr.Macheras: The juniorgolffee.Isthatacertainage? Mr. Moller: Yeah, junior golfis 16 years and under. Ms. DeVries: Does it say that? Mr. Moller: I don't believe so. Actually, it's high school age and younger. So, ifthey're a senior in high school, they're still considered ajunior golfer. Ms. DeVries: Okay. I don't know ifwe should add a note about that. What's considered a junior? Mr. Moller: Actually, I don't believe we even have a junior rate listed. Mr. Macheras: Yeah, no, that's what I'm looking for. I don't see where it's listed. Ms. DeVries: Okay. I thought you were reading it somewhere, Bill. Mr. Macheras: It's on the first page. But as far as when you get into the actual rates... Ms. Yelvington: In the range of rates, it's there. It says there is ajunior golf fee. Mr. Macheras: It's on the first attachment. Mr. Showe: Yeah. That's the range. So, that just gives Jim flexibility to add any prices in that range. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Mr. Macheras: But when you look at the actual golf rates, I don't see it. Ms. DeVries: Then I guess we don't need a note. Mr. Macheras: Okay. Oh, I see. Those are just some categories you could choose from if you wanted to. Gotcha, gotcha. Okay, that's fine. 4 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: Yeah. By law, just for your information, CDDs have to advertise a range of rates. So, we typically start really low and then take higher than he's got for that category. That way he's got full flexibility throughout the year, anywhere in that range. Mr. Macheras: That makes sense. Ms. DeVries: Are there any other questions or comments or concerns. Mr. Macheras.It starts on October I"? Mr. Moller: October 1st, Mr. Macheras: Okay. Ms. DeVries: Anyone want to make a motion? Mr. Dale: I think it's very fair. Ms. DeVries: I do too. Mr. Moller: Actually, it starts on October 15th , because our Summer season will go to October 14th • Mr. Macheras: Okay. Mr. Moller: It's on the golf rate sheet. Ms. DeVries: It's October 16th• Ms. Yelvington: Yeah, October 16th• Mr. Moller: Sorry, it was in between farm and classes. Ms. DeVries: Got it. Mr. Moller: The only other change is we rolled back our peak season. This current fiscal year that we're in, our peak season started on January 1st. We just rolled it back to December 1st. There are a lot of holidays in there. You're usually running a holiday rate, if the holiday falls on a weekday. During the holiday season, we saw a lot of tourism. We try to capture that. Ms. DeVries: That's good. Mr. Dale: I do just want to make a comment, because I've seen comments in the past and I've had this discussion with many people over the past several months. People comment about, "Well, you know, you used to have six figures for season passes on an annual basis and why did you do away with that?" The short answer and the best explanation that I've heard, is we didn't do away with it. What we did, is we transitioned it to a daily fee basis, which is what has enabled us to have many thousands less rounds played and make more money. Because we had many people golfing. Jim managed to find the Round Revenue Report from 2021 that Tim put together 5 August 28, 2025 Viera East eDD and he has a list of all the season pass holders and the Top 10. There are a lot of names, I won't go into them, but number one was golfing for effectively $12.50 per round. The next several were golfing for $13 per round. That is why we never could make money. Ms. Yelvington: They were taking the best times. Mr. Dale: Taking the best times. They were taking the 7:00 a.m. tee times. Ms. Yelvington: We were losing the higher paying client. Mr. Dale: That is precisely the main reason. That coupled with the employee golf, taking the peak tee times, that's probably at least half of why we weren't able to make money. Mr. Macheras: I didn't know this until I got on Board, but one thing I think Jason and Jim too alluded to, that I wasn't aware of, a lot of clubs or a lot of golf courses do that to get that influx of money upfront, to start pushing them through the year as far as expenses. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: For the past four years plus, we've been running at a profit where you know what, we don't need to give away the farm anymore. We're making a profit. We can make itaswe go. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: I think the other thing too; we've all had discussions with people and I have too and I appreciate people bringing up those questions. But on one hand I hear, we want to do what's best for the whole community, but on the other hand I hear that you're just talking about a small few. We represent over 4,000 homes and I think from a money management standpoint and still being fair, because I even questioned Jim, "Why is it cheaper on the weekends now?" That was onethingthat we did,the eDD rate. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: So again, as a whole, it's a more efficient fiscal decision and now we're incorporating, because of how it's ran. We don't need that easy money given away, because you all are doing a lot better job. Ms. DeVries: We all are doing a better job. Mr. Macheras: That's something that I learned. Ms. DeVries: Well also just historically and Jason can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the season passes started, because we needed to make a bond payment and we didn't have the money. 6 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: That is absolutely correct. We had a November 1st bond payment. We initially had all of the season passes required to start October 1st, so that we had an influx of cash with which to make that bond payment. When we restructured the bonds, that was the first thing we did. We made sure that we had had enough reserves in there, so that you're always paying aheadonthe debt,instead ofhaving torely onthat influx ofcash. Ms. DeVries: Right. Mr. Dale: Right. Then the irony of all of this, is we spend a lot of time talking about the season passes, but we really only have 29 season pass holders now. Mr. Moller: Right. Mr. Dale: I've had discussions with Jim and kind of where I'm leaning towards, as we get into next year's debate about the same topic, I'm willing to go along with whatever Jim and Dave strongly recommend. But I think we're at the point, almost where I think Jim and Dave are leaning towards wanting to do away with season passes. That's something we'll address when the time comes, but it's not anywhere near as important as it used to be, because of the bond payment issue. Mr. Macheras: Right. Ms. DeVries: Right. Mr. Macheras: That makes sense. Ms. DeVries: In my opinion, I mean, that just wasn't great financial management, to be in that position where you had to sell these cheap season passes in order to pay the bond. For the record, we are no longer in that position. We have reserves. Mr. Showe: You also have cashflow. Ms. DeVries: We have cashflow. Right. Mr. Showe: That are set up in the bonds already, so that you're paying that November payment through the assessment process and there are no cashflow issues. Mr. Dale: Exactly. Mr. Moller: Going off of what Bill said. I've seen a lot of golf courses run on a calendar year and they make all their money in December, January, February, March and April and then they're doing all of the golf course improvements over the Summer, which costs a lot. So, by the time they get to August or September, they're starting to run out of money. Mr. Dale: Things are a little lean. 7 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: And how are we going to get through October, November and December. So, that's when they take a daily fee and change the title of the golf course to semi-private and they sell memberships. Ms. DeVries: Right, which was what we were kind of doing, because we hit that November bond payment and we'd come out of the low season. Mr. Macheras: Yeah. I get it. Ms. DeVries: But that is no longer the case. Mr. Macheras: Right. Again, as a resident, that's what we hope for. Even if it might affect me as an individual a little bit, in the big picture, that's where we want to be as a community and that's what we have to look at. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Is there any more discussion on the rates? Are there any comments or questions? Are we ready to make a motion? Mr. Showe: I'll just again reflect for the record ; no members of the public are here to provide comments under public comment. On MOTION by Mr. Dale seconded by Mr. Macheras with all in favor the Golf Course Rates for Fiscal Year 2026 as presented were adopted. B. Budget Hearing i, Consideration of Resolution 2025-03 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget and Relating to the Annual Appropriations Mr. Showe: The next public hearing is Resolution 2025-03, which would be adopting the Fiscal Year 2026 budget. We've attached the Proposed Budget. There were some changes from your Proposed Budget that I think we went over last time. We have included the increase that's proposed later for the Aquatic Management Program. There was no increase proposed in the environmental services account. So, that's good there. All of those have been reflected in here. Without going through line item by line item, I think it represents what the Board was looking for, for the budget. So, we can take any questions or comments from the Board at this time. Mr. Dale: Jason, would you also just for the minutes, in case there aren't a lot of comments, state how long we have been talking about this? Mr. Showe: We started going through the budget in June. So, we've been working with this for several months at this point. The Board actually in April, approved a Proposed Budget. 8 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD So obviously, we've been kind of looking at this since then. It will be just a couple more months until we will be starting on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget. Mr. Dale: Right. So, there's already been a lot of talk about this. Ms. DeVries: There has been already a lot of talk and analysis and comments and revisions. Mr. Showe: We'll let the record reflect again; there is no assessment increase proposed through this budget. So, the residents shall see the same assessment as last year on all of their Tax Bills. Ms. Yelvington: I have two questions about this. One, can you look into whether or not we are exempt from federal unemployment tax? Mr. Showe: I've got it on my list. Ms. Yelvington: Okay, perfect. The cart that goes around when the golfers are needing snacks. Mr. Dale: The beverage cart. Ms. Yelvington: Beverage cart, thank you. Is it gas or electric? Mr. Moller: Electric. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. That's all I wanted to ask. Thanks. Ms. DeVries: Are there any other questions or comments on the budget? Mr. Showe: Again, we'll let the record reflect, there are no members of the public to provide comments, so we'll return it to the Board for any other consideration or a motion. Mr. Dale: The last thing that I would just point out, just for the minutes, since 2021, the budget or the CDn payments are down 26%. This is probably one of the few municipalities. Ms. DeVries: Meaning the property taxes are down 26%. Mr. Dale: The property taxes for the COD. Mr. Showe: It's definitely one of the exceptions of all of my Districts where the assessments are actually going down. Mr. Dale: They have never increased. Mr. Showe: I will note, this would be the last year of the payment on the Series 2022 Recreation Fund. Those assessments should actually continue to decrease for the next budget cycle. 9 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Dale: Right. One other thing I will point out, because I've heard this comment, "Well, the only reason why you were able to do that, is because a bond dropped off" That is a true statement. The problem I have with it, is many other Districts, when they are not fiscally solvent or responsible, just will maintain the previous bond or the previous tax rate and not allow it to lower. That is not what we did. We did lower the tax rate. We could have kept it at $690, but we didn't do that, because we're running things the right way. Ms. DeVries: Right. So, now it's $505. Mr. Dale: Correct. Mr. Macheras: It was over $700 at one point. Ms. DeVries: No, it was $696 and now it's $505. Mr. Dale: All you have to do, is go on the Tax Collector website and look at your 2024 statement and then compare it to your statement now. Ms. De Vries: For the record, we have lowered the taxes. Mr. Dale: Yes. Ms. De Vries: We have better managed the finances and lowered the taxes. Mr. Dale: Yes. Ms. De Vries: Are there any other comments, questions or concerns about the budget? Mr. Macheras: No. Ms. De Vries: Alright. Does anyone want to make a motion to approve? On MOTION by Ms. Yelvington seconded by Mr. Dale with all in favor Resolution 2025-03 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget and Relating to the Annual Appropriations was adopted. ii. Consideration of Resolution 2025-04 Imposing Fiscal Year 2026 Special Assessments and Certifying an Assessment Roll Mr. Showe: The second part of our budget process is Resolution 2025-04. This is the resolution that actually imposes the special assessments on each of the properties within the District. We will point out, that attached to this resolution, will be Exhibit A, which is the budget that you just adopted, in its adopted form. Then there is a very large Excel spreadsheet that's attached to that, which lists all of the 7,000 properties in the District, as well as the relevant assessments that are attached to that. That's what we actually transmit to the Tax Collector and IO August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD that's how those assessments actually get placed on the Property Tax Bill. All it does is line up with the Proposed Budget that you just approved. So again, we can take any questions or comments from the Board or we would look for a motion to approve. Mr. Macheras: I'm sure we all understand it. So, when I see special assessments, I'm thinking ofmy HOA and something happened, but that's not... Mr. Showe: No. For purposes of any residents that are listening, this will appear in your non-ad valorem section. Mr. Macheras: Right. Mr. Showe: So, your ad valorem section of your taxes are things that are based on the value of your property. The non-ad valorem section are things that are not based on the value of your property. It's based on the services that you receive from that entity. So that's the difference with the CDD assessment. Ms. DeVries: For the record, I want to go over what those services are that, that $505 pays for. You all can chime in if I miss one. It is for over 80 lakes and ponds and management of that. Of course, there's Woodside Park, which is the nature playground, the dog park, the nature trails, the fire lines and then of course there's the golf course, pro shop and restaurant. But your taxes do not fund that. That is funded by the revenue from those entities. Is there anything that I'm missing? Mr. Dale: Hundreds of acres of preserve land. Ms. DeVries: Yes. Right. Mr. Moller: And wetlands. Ms. DeVries: Wetlands, yes. Mr. Dale: That is a big responsibility. That's also where I know there's misinformation out there, but that is where a good chunk of the marketing and advertising budget goes. It goes towards the golf course, it goes towards the wetlands, it goes towards the park and the Farmers Market and the trails and all of these kinds of things. So, it just doesn't go to one entity. I know it gets portrayed a different way sometimes. Ms. DeVries: But the $505 is funding the infrastructure ofthe community. Mr. Dale: Correct. The $505 funds the infrastructure. Ms. DeVries: Right. 11 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: As well as the associated debt service payments, but again, once they amortize, those are no longer going to be applicable. Mr. Dale: Yep. Ms. DeVries: Are there any other comments or questions or concerns on that? Mr. Dale: Just to point out again on that the preserve and wetland area, we've got some big equipment that is six figure type equipment, that we need to maintain. So, it's not a small, small issue. I'm sorry, I thought we were done . The other thing that I did just want to point out, because it came up a couple months ago about the controlled burns and how we don't do controlled burns anymore. The reason we don't do the controlled burns any more, is because we had many, many years where the wind conditions weren't exactly right and then we were getting all of this vegetative growth in the preserve lands. We needed this big heavy equipment, so we could go in and mulch and clear this brush that was growing at an excessively quick rate. So, now we don't do the controlled burns any more, because we have this big, heavy equipment. Ms. DeVries: Well and also it's much less dangerous to clear the fire lines with the big, heavy equipment and much more cost effective. Mr. Dale: Exactly. Ms. DeVries: Than it is to do a controlled burn, which there's an inherent risk in that. Mr. Dale: Yes. Ms. DeVries: Along with not just the fire risk, but also the smoke and the breathing issues and all of that. So, we don't do any of that anymore. We clear the fire lines with the heavy equipment. Mr. Dale: Yes. It was a budget saver, because we had $20,000 a year set aside for controlled burns. We didn't use it, but if we were using it, that was supposed to be a $20,000 a year expense. Well, why not get the big, heavy equipment? It wound up saving the District money. Ms. DeVries: That's all good, as a reminder of what this money goes for. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. DeVries: Are there any other comments or questions or concerns on the budget or on this resolution to approve the $505 for residents. For commercial, its four times that, right? Mr. Showe: Not exactly. Mr. Dale: Not exactly, but roughly. 12 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. DeVries: Roughly. Mr. Showe: The General Fund, it's like nine times. On recreation side, it's four times. So, it's a little different calculation. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Mr. Showe: But it's all calculated. Mr. Dale: It's safe to say it's a lot more expensive for the commercial property. Ms. DeVries: Yes, it is. We're keeping everybody's non-ad valorem tax the same as last year. There is no increase. Mr. Dale: Correct. Ms. DeVries: Even though there's been inflation? There is no increase. Mr. Showe: Correct. Ms. De Vries: Alright. Anything else? Mr. Showe: We would look for a motion to approve. On MOTION by Ms. Yelvington seconded by Mr. Macheras with all in favor Resolution 2025-04 Imposing Fiscal Year 2026 Special Assessments and Certifying an Assessment Roll was adopted. Mr. Showe: Then we would look for a motion to close the public hearings. On MOTION by Ms. Yelvington seconded by Mr. Macheras with all in favor the public hearings for the rules and rates and the Fiscal Year 2026 budget were closed. SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS New Business A. Consideration of 2025/2026 Aquatic Management Services Renewal B. Consideration of 2025/2026 Habitat Management Services Renewal Mr. Showe: We'll go on to new business, then. Just to get these contracts updated, we provided you updated contracts for both your aquatic management, as well as your environmental. ECOR does have an increase, mostly due to chemicals. I will tell you, we're seeing that at every pool provider that we have, as well as every lake provider. Anything that's based on chemical costs, is increasing. But that's already been factored into your budget. Then there is no increase on the Kevin Erwin side. We'll note, Mr. Kevin Erwin is a consultant. 13 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Although we allocate at full cost, he's similar to the engineer. We just pay him when we use him. But it is nice to have somebody who has that expertise with all of the permits and the environmental issues when we need it, such as when things come up, like the Golf District Association who wants to build a well and all of those items. So, that's where his expertise comes in, if it's needed. So, if the Board is amenable, you can actually just make a motion to approve both of those agreements, unless you want to take them individually. Ms. DeVries: What are the two agreements? Mr. Showe: There's one for ECOR and then there's one for Kevin Erwin Consulting. Mr. Dale MOVED to approve the 2025/2026 Aquatic Management Services Renewal with ECOR for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 and the Habitat Management Services Renewal with Kevin Erwin Consulting and Mr. Macheras seconded the motion. Ms. DeVries: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the 2025/2026 Aquatic Management Services Renewal ECOR for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 and the Habitat Management Services Renewal with Kevin Erwin Consulting were approved. c. Approval of Revised Memorial Bench and Tree Program Policy Mr. Showe: Beyond that, we've provided you with the updated policy for the Memorial Bench and Tree program. I will let the Board know, we did remove the stone, as we discussed at the workshop. This is just a policy. I'll note that, although we wanted to update it to include the updated costs, you can change this at any time at a Board meeting. So, certainly if something comes up, Jim or I will let you know. Mr. Dale: Especially as costs increase. Mr. Showe: So, again, it's really up to the Board, but we look to entertain a motion to approve that program or that policy. Mr. Macheras: Quick question. Is that posted anywhere? Mr. Showe: Yeah, we'll place it on our website. Mr. Moller: It's on the website now. 14 August 28,2025 Viera East eDD Mr. Showe: Or replace it once its approved. Mr. Macheras: People are curious. They will see something. I had a question on another group that I participate in. They have to be eDD residents, I'm assuming, to do these markers. Mr. Dale: No. Mr. Showe: It has to be open to the public, similar to all of our eDD facilities , but certainly the policy provides Jim the full discretion to approve or not approve it, subject to the request. Mr. Macheras: That's all I had. On MOTION by Mr. Macheras seconded by Mr. Dale with all in favor the revised Memorial Bench and Tree Program Policy was approved. D. Presentation of Series 2020 Arbitrage Rebate Report Mr. Showe: The last item is we have a presentation of your Arbitrage Rebate Report. Typically, the District has no rebate liability, but in your particular case, this is the first one in my 18 years with OMS that you actually have a rebate liability. The reason for that, is your bonds are actually at 2%. So, if you earn more interest than you're paying in the bonds, because they are tax exempt bonds, it triggers a rebate. So, we did have to remit $6,000. Ms. DeVries : I'm kind of curious. How much interest did we earn? Mr. Showe: 3.75% and your bonds are at 2%. Ms. DeVries: Is this the difference? Mr. Showe: Yes. Ms. DeVries: It is. Mr. Showe: It's a calculation. It's 90% ofthe difference. So, they run a whole calculation and tell you in this report what it is. Ms.DeVries:So basically,we canonly earn enough topay the interestonthebonds,but we can't earn more than the interest rate on the bonds. Mr. Showe: Because they're tax-exempt bonds, the IRS doesn't want you holding money and earning more interest than you're allowed to pay, essentially. Ms. DeVries: Okay, got it. 15 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: I'll tell you . You guys are in a fortunate position, because in 18 years , I've never had one, because typically the bonds are issued at much higher rates than that. You guys got in a really good window when those bonds were issued. Ms. DeVries: We did. Mr. Showe: The percentage does go up throughout the life of the bond. So, as we get further in, you'll probably have less and less. Mr. Dale: Yeah, we managed to get that great rate, because there was a lawsuit and it wound up saving the District many hundreds of thousands of dollars, because we got the lower rate. Mr. Showe: It was also in the middle of COVID and banks were dying to lend out money . This is just the offsetting result of that. So again , there's no action for the Board. We just want to present that. Ms. DeVries: We'll take it, I guess. Mr. Dale: It was mainly because ofthe amount that we had sitting in cash, the remaining $60,000 or whatever it was. Mr. Showe: Yeah. Ms . DeVries: Thank you for explaining it. Mr. Showe: Well, it's also on the assessment. So, as you collect assessments, when you're waiting for those payments, as those assessments come in, you're earning interest on the assessment collections. Mr. Dale: Gotcha. Ms. Yelvington: So, we're making too much money. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, we're making too much money. Mr. Dale: It's a profit thing. Ms. DeVries: We'll take it. Thank you for explaining it, Jason. Mr. Showe: I had to reach out and ask what's going on, because again, in 18 years, I've never had one where we've had to pay. Mr. Dale : That's pretty funny. Ms. DeVries: It is. I will call it a testament to our good financial management. Ms. Yelvington: That's right. Ms. DeVries: Yeah. 16 August 28, 2025 Viera East eDD SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Old Business A. Action Items List Mr. Showe: We can go over the Action Items List quickly. On the park improvements, I don't know where we are on the sign. Are we still waiting for Brevard County? Mr. Dale: Yes. I did get a text from our County Commissioner and he said, "I asked today about that and we'll let you know what the pian is soon. " Mr. Showe: Okay. Ms. Yelvington: When was their meeting going to be again? Mr. Dale: It was on Tuesday, which is why I got in touch with them. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. Mr. Moller: Other than that, I have everything. We're just waiting. Mr. Showe: Yup. I know we've got I think the beginning of September for the paving project. Mr. Moller: That already started; however, they got rained out, so we're pushing everything back a week. They split the golf operations for the golf maintenance into two sections. The first section, it started raining and washed away most of the;.. Mr. Showe: The mill. Mr. Moller: No, this was just the reseal. Mr. Showe: Oh, okay. Mr. Moller: And maintenance. So, they're coming back next week to do redo that area and then we're pushing that back. Woodside Park is the fourth and the fifth. So, we made signs. We're going to start hanging those next week, on Monday, just to let people know that the parking lot will be unusable for Thursday and Friday. Mr. Showe: Then just an update on the Hammock Trace fountain. They did agree to the tentative terms that you guys have laid out as a Board. So, we've communicated with them. We expect to have something back from our counsel by next week and should be able to present that to you at the workshop. As long as you're okay moving forward, we can coordinate with that. But they did agree to all of the terms that the Board discussed. So those should all be laid out in that agreement and we'll keep that moving. That's all that I have for action items. 17 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports A. General Manager's Report Mr. Showe: I'll tum it over to Jim for the General Manager's Report. Moller: I'll start with CDD maintenance. We're kind of working on Woodside Park a little bit. Pete redid the little water spigot area over there at the dog park, as we're having issues with hoses being left on and water running overnight. So, we installed the ones you see at the beach at the showers. They're just like the little spring-loaded handles where you tum it on and as you let go, it shuts off. So, we put that there. We also added a second spigot; to try to give them a little area so they can rinse the dog's feet off and then fill their water bowls too. So, that's been upgraded. Mr. Dale: I do want to touch on that, because I had the chance to talk to Pete, as we do need to be able to hook a hose so people can wash their dogs off. Mr. Moller: Okay. Mr. Dale: So, I get that we don't want them filling up nasty swimming pools there and leaving them, but the main reason why we had that pad there and everything, was so that people can rinse their dogs. Mr. Moller: Hopefully not with those spring-loaded levers, the water won't be left on. Mr. Dale: Well that I love, the thing that he said though, he had put some sort of coupling on it or whatever, so they couldn't put a hose. So, I just want to reinforce that they do need to have a hose to be able to wash their dogs off. Mr. Moller: Alright. I was planning on just doing a little shower head, like they have at the beach, that little one where you just wash your feet off. Mr. Dale: Which is fine, as long as there's something that can get enough water and even for big dogs, like the 25 pounders. Mr. Moller: A 4-foot hose might be sufficient. Mr. Dale: That might be sufficient. Just something that they're not able to fill up the swimming pool, but they're able to clean their dog. Mr. Moller: Okay. They went ahead and freshened up all of the mulch in the kids playground, swing sets, things like that. We are still in the process of replacing all of the rotted wood in the dog park tunnels. Overall, Tom has been doing a great job filling in for Ed while Ed's been out. We did hire a new full time maintenance person. He is strong. Mr. Dale: I saw him today. The dude's a tank. 18 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: He's a great guy and has a great personality. I think he's going to do very well in that. He's actually a CDD resident. So, it should work out well. Mr. Dale: We're very happy to have him. Mr. Moller: We talked about the paving projects. Brevard Electric finished the electrical outlets at the fence. So, if anyone at the Farmers Market needs power out that far or when we have the Fall Festival, we'll have two outlets out there for power needs. Mr. Dale: The comments from the Viera Voice for the upcoming Scarecrow Stroll were, "Thank you very much. " Mr. Moller: Good. Regarding golf course maintenance, we did the golf course aerification at the beginning of September. We used the air induction machine on the green, so there was real no major disruption to the putting surface. We did other things. We double verticut, we top dressed, we fertilized, things like that. We finished aerifying the fairways and aerified the tees. So, the guys got a lot of stuff down there taken care of. Unfortunately, the cart path raising project on 17, had to be postponed until September, due to some scheduling conflicts with the contractor. They got caught with rain. The job that they were supposed to finish, got pushed behind. They told me that they have one more aerification and have to get it done. So, the raising ofthe cart path on 17 got rescheduled. That's pretty much it. Regarding the financials, obviously everybody saw July. It actually was a little bit of a nice surprise for me with golf, just because normally July is the beginning of our monthly losses. We actually had a really good figure. We generated $9,990 in golf. Food and Beverage had a great July as well, as they netted $7,871. So, between the two entities, we, we had a net profit of $17,861 for July. However, unfortunately, Mother Nature is throwing us a major curveball with August. As of last night, we received a little over 13 inches of rain since August 1st. We've had six days affected by weather, three days where we only had nine holes open and two days where the golf course was totally closed. So, our round revenue is pretty far behind. We're sitting at $103,000, where last year we were sitting at $115,000. So, we're about $12,000 behind last year. Last August was a loss. So, I'm anticipating a pretty big hit in August. Food and beverage were affected by the weather with the golf course, but they're still holding dollar for dollar with last year. Last year, we were at $61,000 and this year we're at $61,000. Last year, Food and beverage finished at $73,000 and I think as long as we're in that $70,000 plus range for food and beverage, we should see a profit. Mr. Dale: Actually, we more than doubled our year to date in the black in July. 19 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: Oh God, yeah, because July is usually a $20,000 loss on average and we made $10,000. We actually made $17,000 combined. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Moller: I put together some percentages for one of our Board Members. So, as of July 31st, this year compared to last year, golf revenues are up 9.5%. Food and beverage revenues are up 12.8%. Total revenues are up 10.4%. For expenses, golf operations and maintenance expenses are up 7.5%. Food and beverage expenses are up 1.3%. Total expenses are up 5.6%. Our total expenses are up 5.6% and our revenue is up 10.4%. So, we're doubled our revenues versus our expenses. Total net profit this year versus last year, we're sitting at $435,817 as of July 3l". Last July 315t, we were sitting $285,156, which is $150,000 more. So, our total net profits are up 52.8% over last year. Ms. Yelvington: Nice. Ms. DeVries: Kudos to the whole team. Mr. Moller: Yes. Ms. DeVries: Thank you. Mr. Macheras: So, the restaurant expenses are only up 1%. Mr. Moller: 1.3%. Mr. Macheras: What was their revenue up by? Mr. Moller: 10.4%. Mr. Macheras: That's amazing. That's just outstanding. Geesh, I'd still be in retail if I had those numbers. Mr. Dale: It was amazing. I saw a silly comment this week and it was to the effect of the reason why the golf course and the District wasn't able to make money, for the seven years prior, from 2014 to 2021. It was because they invested all of the money back into the golf course. The reason why, that's so silly, is if that is what had been happening for 25 years, we wouldn't have had a need for a bond. Ms. DeVries: Exactly. Mr. Dale: So, the fact that we are building up these wonderful reserves with your wonderful numbers and with any luck, in another four to five years, that Reserve Study that we did, may be fully funded. 20 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: That goes back to some of the original conversations, Bill was talking about, with the memberships and trying to make it through the end of the year. That's the thing. We're having a bad August because of Mother Nature. We're golf and it's an outdoor sport. We are dependent on Mother Nature. So, if we have a good weather month, we have a great month. If we have a bad weather month, we have a bad month. But we have reserves to fall back on. Mr. Dale: Right. Things average out over time. Mr. Moller: Yeah. I looked, but I can't find big umbrellas on Amazon to cover the golf course, so I'm just going to have to keep being frugal with our expenditures. Mr. Dale: We had a former Board Member that used to think that we'd be able to do something silly like that. Mr. Moller: So. David and I looked at the numbers, trying to figure out, since we had a bad August, how we can make for a better September. Do we reduce rates? Do we give discounts? When we have a positive weather day Monday through Thursday, basically, we're averaging 175 rounds per day and are averaging 200 rounds plus on weekends. So, for us to discount rates, I don't think we're going to get enough extra volume to offset any discounts we're going to give. Mr. Dale: It's the whole law of diminishing returns. Mr. Moller: Yeah. But, we do have a huge tournament coming up on September 5th , so hopefully Mother Nature cooperates and lets us have that, as that should be a big revenue stream for both operations. Mr. Dale: That's on a Friday? Mr. Moller: It's on Friday, yeah. We have two beverage carts. We have a bar set up on Hole 10. We have a Bloody Mary bar at the beginning, as the golfers are checking in. We have a pulled pork buffet for 136 players. Mr. Dale: I'm trying to recall, we don't have a band or anything set up for that one. Mr. Moller: No, that's the one in November. Mr. Dale: Right. So, this one's effectively going to be over somewhere around $4,000 or $5,000. Mr. Moller: Probably about $2,000 or $3,000. Actually, probably about $3,000 or $4,000. Mr. Dale: Okay. 21 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: Yeah. This is for the Junior Achievement of the Space Coast, which is a good organization. A couple things with Dave, the registration for the PGA Junior League started today. That little league will run from October through December. This year we are hosting the US Kids Tour Championship on December 7th • Ms. DeVries: That's the entire US. Mr. Moller: US Kids Golf Tour. Ms. DeVries: Is that like the entire nation? Mr. Moller: Yeah, we'll have kids from all over. Ms. DeVries: That's awesome. Wow. Mr. Macheras: In December? Mr. Moller: December 7th• Mr. Dale: Other than Pearl Harbor Day, what day of the week is that? Mr. Moller: It's a Sunday. Mr. Dale: We're going all out for that, because that is going to have some media exposure, I would assume. Mr. Moller: Yeah. Mr. Macheras: I'm just curious, how many young ones do we have? Is it like 80 or 72. Mr. Moller: I don't know. Mr. Macheras: The only reason I say that it just dawned on me, you read about the hotels and all of that stuff. I just wonder, is there any portal for this big event coming up, like when the USSSA has something. I'm just curious, because like you say, most of those kids would probably not be from Florida. Mr. Moller: Yeah. Mr. Macheras: I don't know when other big events happen, how do the hotel people know? Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: Or the restaurant people. I don't know. Mr. Dale: Right. Well and beyond that, also, can we put together some kind of press statement or do they put together a press statement? Mr. Moller: I'll get with Dave on that. 22 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Dale: I would like a press statement, because I would like to give that to Florida Today and Viera Voice and our marketer. Ms. Webb: Well, that's the biggest thing. They have it on their calendar. But Lacey and I just started sharing calendars, so I can see what they do and unless someone tells me, I don't know. Mr. Dale: This is a big event. Mr. Moller: I don't think this was on the calendar yet. I think this one just happened. Ms. Webb: Yeah. Unless you guys send me something or tell me to create something and I don't know if it's a private thing, I don't know. Mr. Dale: Yeah. This needs some exposure. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, it does. Mr. Dale: Not only that, but this is also something that I'm going to share with our County Commission. This is kind of a big deal. Mr. Macheras: I think it's great. Mr. Moller: Let's see, the last thing was the employee investment. Nest Eggs got back to me. They do offer the 457B Plan. The fees were pretty much just the same. It's a $1,500 implementation fee, which we would cover. Mr. Dale: How much again? Mr. Moller: $1,500, to get the plan started. Mr. Dale: Okay. Mr. Moller: I do want to ask more questions about a monthly fixed fee, as it says that $300 is paid for by the plan sponsor or deducted from plan assets. There is a quarterly participation fee and then a monthly asset base fee, which is like .0625. Mr. Dale: Okay. Mr. Moller: Basically, the fees are like 1.1%. Ms. Yelvington: That's pretty normal. Mr. Dale: I can't recall if it is mutual fund based or ETF based. Mr. Moller: That's the part I don't know. Mr. Dale: We'll talk later. Mr. Moller: The only other thing is on their plan design; there are three options. There was a 2% non-elective, 3% match or 4% match. I'm thinking six to 10 employees will probably 23 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD take advantage of the 3% match, which would be more cost effective for us, instead ofjust 2% non-elective across the Board. Ms. DeVries: That's pretty typical for a small business. Mr. Dale: Well, this is an implementation date probably of January or something like that Mr. Moller: Yeah, it starts calendar year January 1st. All employees are grandfathered in; the current employees and any new employee will have to be here for one year. Mr. Dale: Do we need a vote for approval on this then? I don't recall where we're at with it. Mr. Showe: The funding is in the budget already. We've been including that for two years in the budget. So, if it's something the Board is directing Jim to do, then we can just move forward with it. Mr. Dale: Okay, because what I don't want to do is wait another month and then it takes a while to get everybody signed up and then all of a sudden we're hard against the wall for January 1st. So, I would like to move forward with that. Mr. Moller: Yeah,. I was just more looking for advice, because I have my personal investments, but I've never tried to put them together. Ms. DeVries: Rob's question is a good one, like what are they allowed to invest in? So, I would like to know that one. Ms. Yelvington: I think up to the 3% match, is a good plan of action. Ms. DeVries: Is that what you see with your businesses? Ms. Yelvington: Yes. I don't usually see 4%.1 usually see 3%. Ms. DeVries: 3% is pretty typical. They put in 3% and the business puts in 3%. Ms. Yelvington: Right. Mr. Dale: I saw the vesting schedule. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, what is the vesting schedule? Mr. Moller: Two to six years graded. Mr. Dale: Graded, which I like. However, I assume it's retro for our longer duration employees. In other words, if we have somebody that's been with us for 10 years, are they already fully vested? Ms. DeVries: They should already be fully vested. Mr. Dale: Yes, that's kind of where I'm at. We shouldn't start this from ground zero. 24 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. Yelvington: Are they going to give you an enrollment form or something that you can roll out this easily to the employees? Mr. Dale: It's probably all going to be like an online thing. Ms. Yelvington: Yeah. Mr. Moller: I think pretty much everything's going to be online. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. Mr. Moller: Yeah, that was the one on the plan review. There's a current and a proposed change. I didn't know if the current was the current employees and the proposed change was incoming employees. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Moller: Because the current said that they were 100% vested. Mr. Dale: Right. That's probably going to be your biggest question or issue, but the way I feel and I know I'm just one of five. Mr. Showe: If your current employees have been here longer than the vesting requirements, then they should just be vested. Mr. Dale: Yup. Mr. Showe: If anybody new comes in, you would just restart. Mr. Dale: Well, I saw that it's a one year wait period. Ms. Yelvington: Right. Mr. Dale: For new employees, which is good, because, let's face it, some of the positions are kind of transitory. Ms. DeVries: Do we ever rehire people? Mr. Moller: We have in the past. It depends on the employee. Ms. DeVries: Of course. Mr. Moller: Yes. Ms. DeVries: But what I'm saying is, does their prior service count? Mr. Dale: To me, the clock starts all over on a rehire. That's the way I look at it. Mr. Moller: Other than that, that's all I have. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I do have one more thing. I got the Shoreline Restoration Program for this upcoming year. One of the lakes is Lake 43 in Bayhill and the other is Lake 71. I can't remember where that one's at. Mr. Dale: Lake 43 in Bayhill or Lake 53? Lake 53 is our problem child lake. 25 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Moller: The two lakes that we're doing this year, are Lakes 43 and 71. Lake 43 is having 2,240 linear feet done and Lake 71 is having 1,600 linear feet done. Mr. Dale: Okay. Alright. Mr. Moller: So, it's $160,000 for this project, which is what we budgeted for. Mr. Dale: Okay. Mr. Dale: I do have one last question. Our Harassment Policy. Jason, is the Board's Harassment Policy posted on the District website? Mr. Showe: I don't think it is, but I could put it on there. Mr. Dale: I would like to see that posted. Mr. Showe: Gotcha. Mr. Macheras: So, question on that. If somebody on the golf course, is using bad behavior and cussing out a storm, is there something under that policy that allows us to tell them that they can't play here no more or they have to get off of the golf course? Mr. Dale: Well, there's one for harassment and bad behavior. The one I'm talking about, is one that the Board adopted in 2022. It's at the pleasure ofthe Board and can be changed at any time, but it was put in place, because we had two employees that were both threatened. One of them, the person threatened their job. This is a Harassment Policy that addresses bad behavior by patrons, residents, that kind of stuff. Mr. Macheras: It doesn't actually be somebody harassing one of them. Ms. DeVries: The Harassment Policy actually is pretty broad and it's directed at somebody. The difference between bad behavior and harassment, is the harassment is directed at somebody. Ms. Yelvington: But to his point, when there's unsavory behavior happening at the golf course ... Mr. Dale: I believe that's part of our rules and regulations. Mr. Moller: Usually, the player assistants or the rangers give them a warning, and either the head pro or I have to go out and then the third time, is removal from the golf course. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. Mr. Macheras: From the golfcourse or restaurant or wherever that might be. Mr. Moller: Yeah. 26 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Macheras: Okay. I was just curious that there was something there for just people acting up. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. DeVries: The version of it that I found, was in the Employee Handbook. Is there another version? Mr. Dale: Yes. There's a version that I shared with jim and Jason. Mr. Showe: It's something that we put out to all of the employees, that describes the policy. Mr. Dale: We ran that through legal and the Board messed with it back and forth. Jason, actually, if you want to share that with the rest of the Board. Ms. DeVries: Right. Also in the handbook, there's a very clear statement about the harassment not being tolerated. Mr. Dale: Right. That one's mainly for employees acting bad to other employees. Mr. Moller: There is one sentence that actually includes patrons and residents. Mr. Dale: Interesting. Ms. DeVries: It's a broad statement. Mr. Dale: Alright. Well, the one that we're talking about right now, clarifies what to do when patrons and residents decide to act poorly to our employees. Ms. DeVries: Right. We had a sexual harassment incident with one of our servers. I think that was one of the incidents that we had quite a while ago. You're looking at me like you don't remember that one. Mr. Dale: There was an incident where one of our restaurant employees was berated and poorly treated. Ms. DeVries: Yeah. Mr. Dale: We sent a warning on that. There was an incident where one of our greens crew, in fact, our head greens crew, his job was threatened and he was berated, which was unacceptable. We did have just another incident recently that I'll let you address if you want to; however, you want to handle that one. Ms. DeVries: So, that's the kind of thing that we're trying to address. We want to make sure that our employees are not put in these situations . They're supported and we want to keep them happy. So, that's the main point. 27 August 28, 2025 Viera East eDD Mr. Macheras: Right. I guess my only question would be and we probably talked about this before, if something happens and there are three people on duty, do they know what the steps would be? Ms. DeVries: That's what's in the letter that Rob refers to. Mr. Macheras: Got it. Ms. DeVries: But it may be worthwhile, because there's been a lot of turnover. I don't know if the newer ones have gotten that letter that basically says... Mr. Dale: Because it was 2022. Ms. DeVries: If you run into this issue, here's how you report it. Mr. Dale: The way we handled it before is we sent it out with payroll, with their checks. Perhaps we could send it out again. Ms. DeVries: Just to make sure everybody has it. Mr. Macheras: So, they know what to do. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. DeVries: There's a procedure In that letter. Alright, Any other questions or comments? Mr. Macheras: I have two quick questions, Jim. I'm curious. I get the emails when the golf course is closed and I'm going back years ago, before I was on the Board. I went over it a coupleoftimes.So,I'mfromTitusville. Ifwe'reclosed,isthereamessageontherecorder? I'm just curious. Like I said a couple times, when I had friends come down years ago and we didn't know it was closed, how do we get that word out? Mr.Moller:Sousually,we'll leaveonepersonintheproshop,manningthephones. Mr. Macheras: C>kay. Mr. Moller: So, like the other day we were closed. He would normally be there until 6:30 p.m. He was there until like 4:30 p.m. or 5:00 p.m., just for people trying to make tee times for the next day or calling about cancellations. Most of our misinformed comes from Golf Now golfers. So, we'll send a message to Golf Now saying that the course is closed. If Golf Now wants to put that out and inform those golfers... Mr. Macheras: C>kay. Mr. Moller: We had one come in the other day and they were raising cane because... 28 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Macheras: It's not a foolproof system. But I was just curious about what our steps were. The other question that I had, talking about August and you and Dave looking at what we can do to raise revenue. Let's say August is down. Is it less golfers or is it maybe we don't get as many in the morning because we have a higher rate and we get more in the afternoon? I'm just kind of curious. What do we look at? I'm going back to retail on how much I get per transaction. Are we getting less golfers or golfers at different times when the rates are low? Do you know what I'm saying? We might still have 100 golfers today, but they were all 12:00 p.m. and later. Ms. Yelvington: It has to do with the data. Your new system is tracking that, right? Mr. Moller: Oh, yeah, but for August, it's just been because of the weather. We've had a couple days where we were able to get golfers out and if they couldn't finish a round, we issued rain checks or we were totally closed. Normally with us, we have a better shot of getting the morning golfers than we do the afternoon golfers, especially this time of year. Mr. Macheras: Right, because there could be a lot of reasons. Ms. Yelvington: That would be good data to have. Yeah. Mr. Macheras: Okay. That's all I had. Ms. DeVries: I think we're moving on to Michelle. B. District Manager's Report l, Approval of Fiscal Year 2026 Meeting Schedule Mr. Showe: Actually, I have a couple of items under the District Manager's Report. The first item is the approval of the meeting schedule for Fiscal Year 2026. I think we've lined it up pretty well. The only question that I have, is May of next year for the workshops. So, currently it is May 7th and May 8th , which definitely won't work. Typically, your workshop would be the 14th and I know that that's the same month we typically schedule an extra workshop for the Hook & Eagle. So, we have two on there, one for January and one for May. May 12th won't work under my schedule, but I could do May 5th, which is Cinco de Mayo. So, if there's another day that month that might work. Ifyou want to schedule the Hook & Eagle one or if we want to push that to another month, that's really up to the Board. I didn't know ifthere was any preference on that. Ms. DeVries: I guess I didn't have a chance to look at this yet. Can we vote on this next time? Mr. Showe: We have to get it advertised. Ms. DeVries: Okay. 29 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: We can certainly make changes to it throughout the year. But your typical May workshop would be the 14th , so we'll definitely put that one on the schedule. It doesn't say it. Right now, it has May 7th and 8th , which is incorrect. Those are definitely not the correct dates. Mr. Dale: We certainly don't want to do Cinco de Mayo. Mr. Showe: Okay. Ms. DeVries: No. Mr. Showe: Do we want to pick a different month then for the Hook & Eagle for that month? Ms. DeVries: So, you're not there then? Mr. Showe: Typically, we would schedule a workshop for the 14th and then one for the 12th , which is a Tuesday, for Hook & Eagle. I have a meeting that evening on the 12th• Ms. DeVries: Is the 6th , a Tuesday. Mr. Showe: The 6th is a Wednesday . Ms. DeVries: Oh, okay. Mr. Showe: We try to do them on Tuesdays.. Ms. DeVries: Well, is that still the case, as Tuesdays are our non-busy nights? Our non- busy night is Monday. Mr. Macheras: Right. Mr. Moller: It is either salsa or trivia. Ms. DeVries: Should we do a Monday. Mr. Dale: Tuesday is not good. Mr. Showe: I couldn't do the 11th that week either, because I have a conflict. Ms. Webb: Wednesdays haven't been busy. Ms. DeVries: So, we could do a Wednesday. Mr. Moller: We're also talking about next May. May was decent. Ms. Webb: Yeah. Ms. DeVries: We don't want to do the 8th , It's a Friday. Mr. Showe: No, the 7th and 8th are wrong. Ms. DeVries: Okay, it would be the 6th, May 6th• Mr. Showe: That would be a Wednesday. That would work. Mr. Moller: I would say just move the restaurant meeting to June. 30 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Dale: I'm thinking June would be better. Ms. DeVries: I won't be here. Mr. Moller: It's at the end of season. Mr. Macheras: That's what I'm saying. There should be a reason to hold the meeting, like we're getting ready to get into our busy seasons or we're getting ready to get into our slower season. Do you know what I'm saying? Ms. Yelvington: We were just trying to space them six months apart, I think. But when was the last one? Mr. Dale: Probably the first week of May. Mr. Moller: I think it was May. Ms. DeVries: May. If we did every six months, we would have a restaurant meeting in November. Ms. Yelvington: We would have this coming November. Mr. Moller: Do we have one scheduled for January? Mr. Showe: We have one in January. Mr. Moller: Then we just do the other one in July. Do one in January and one and July . Ms. Yelvington: Then we wouldn't have Ms. DeVries. Mr. Dale: July is a horrible month. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, I'm wondering if we should do November. Mr. Showe: November gets a little tricky schedule-wise, because we have to move all of our meetings around, due to Thanksgiving and Christmas. But that's not to say we can't do it. Let me see what I can do. Ms. DeVries: But that November 6th meeting looks potential. Mr. Macheras: Which one? Mr. Showe: That is a Thursday. We would typically do the Hook & Eagle on the 4th , which is Election Day. Ms. DeVries: Do we care if it's Election Day? Mr. Dale: Yes, we care. Ms. DeVries: Yes, we do. Okay. Mr. Dale: We care immensely. Ms. DeVries: None ofusaregettingelected this year. 31 August 28, 2025 Viera East COD Mr. Showe: That's the 2025 election. I don't even know what's in the off cycle. Mr. Dale: I do. Ms. DeVries: Okay, so not Election Day. How about the 5th? If Wednesdays are slow, could we do November 5th? Mr. Showe: I've got a potential hearing that day. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Mr. Showe: Not for you guys. Mr. Dale: Yeah, I think we stay away from that week. Ms. DeVries: Okay. November is bad. December is bad. Ms. Yelvington: So, we don't have another one scheduled right now? Mr. Showe: No. That's why we're setting the schedule. Ms. DeVries: Right. Mr. Macheras: While you have it in front ofyou, December 1Jlh says 2024. Mr. Showe: I got it. Ms. Yelvington: That's my job, to find the typos. Mr. Macheras: I know. Ms. Yelvington: I'm glad you caught that. That makes me very happy. I am the typo goddess. That's because I do all the writing in my business and then my business partner catches all ofmy typos. So, it's my chance to catch somebody else's typos. Mr. Dale: That's funny. Ms. DeVries: So, we're looking at January 7th to do the Hook & Eagle meeting, because that would be on a Wednesday. Ms. Yelvington: January 7th? Ms. DeVries: Yeah. Mr. Macheras: Well, no. I thought January we're Okay. We're looking at May to move around. January 6th we're okay. Ms. DeVries: Okay and then May. Mr. Macheras: I think its May we're looking at tweaking. Ms. Yelvington:So,wecan'tdoMay,but ifwehaveoneinJanuary... Mr. Dale: What about moving May to June? Mr. Moller: June 9th . 32 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. DeVries: I won't be here. Mr. Showe: We picked up another District. Ms. DeVries: But it's okay. May would be better for me, but that's only five months. Mr. Macheras: Are we still good for May 14th, that Thursday? Mr. Showe: Yes, May 14th is fine. Mr. Macheras: Or May 28th• Mr. Dale: May is my busiest month. Mr. Dale: Sometimes that's our best month. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, I know. It's true. May is good. Mr. Macheras: I know we usually we do it before the workshop and then we're, like, "Oh, we don't need to hold a workshop. " Maybe we just do it like on May 25th, that Monday or 26th or something. Mr. Moller: May 25th is Memorial Day. Mr. Macheras: Or the week in between the two. Ms. DeVries: Why can't we do it May 5th or 6th? Mr. Showe: May 6th is a Wednesday. I could do that. Mr. Macheras: Ifwe do the 6th , we might not do the 7th, Ms. DeVries: Yeah. Ms. Yelvington: The 7th isn't the right date anyway. Mr. Macheras: That's right. Mr. Showe: Correct. Ms. Yelvington: So, May 6th works. Mr. Showe: May 6th and then the regular workshop will be scheduled for May 14th, with the intent to cancel it. Ms. DeVries: Is the May 6th meeting at the Hook & Eagle or no? Mr. Showe: Yes. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Mr. Moller: Or the pro shop. Mr. Showe: Or somewhere at the golf course. Ms. DeVries: Okay. 33 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: Okay, with those three changes, are we good to approve the meeting schedule? Mr. Macheras MOVED to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 meeting schedule as amended, changing the May workshop at Hook & Eagle to May 6, changing the May workshop to May 14th and the December workshop from 2024 to 2025 and Ms. DeVries seconded the motion. Ms. De Vries: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the Fiscal Year 2026 meeting schedule as amended, changing the May workshop at Hook & Eagle to May 6, changing the May workshop to May 14th and the December workshop from 2024 to 2025 was approved. ii. District Goals and Objectives a. Adoption of Fiscal Year 2026 Goals and Objectives b. Presentation of Fiscal Year 2025 Goals & Objectives and Authorizing the Chair to Execute Mr. Showe: Behind that, I just have two quick other housekeeping items, which is the requirement that the State gave us last year to come up with performance measures standards and the reporting form. So, we've done two things. We've duplicated your Fiscal Year 2025 goals for Fiscal Year 2026, to meet all of the compliance requirements. We've presented you with the 2025 goals, which as of the approval of the budget tonight, you've completed all of those goals. So, if the Board is amenable, we would like to have a motion to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 goals and then also give authority to the Chairman to execute the Fiscal Year 2025 goals at the end of the fiscal year. As a reminder to the Board, all of these goals and objectives are posted on the website. They don't get sent to the State. It's just a requirement to report on some kind of goals and place them on your website. Ms. DeVries: Are we okay with that? The Vice Chair would probably approve it at the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Showe: Absolutely. We just need to have one of the Board Members to execute it so that the finalized report will go on the website. Ms. De Vries: There are no problems? 34 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Showe: No. This is similar to what doing we're recommending for all of our Districts. It's just minimum compliance items that you're required by Statutes to do anyway. It's not anything extraordinary. Ms. Yelvington: In Goal 3.3, can you put the word, "Statement" in "Independent Financial Statement audit?" Mr. Showe: Instead of audit? Ms. Yelvington: Before the word, "Audit." Mr. Showe: Yep. Ms. DeVries: In both documents, 2025 and 2026. Mr. Showe: Yep. Ms. Yelvington MOVED to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 goals and objectives and authorizing the Chair to execute the Fiscal Year 2025 goals and objectives and Mr. Macheras seconded the motion. Ms. DeVries: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, On VOICE VOTE with all in favor approving the Fiscal Year 2026 goals and objectives and authorizing the Chair to execute the Fiscal Year 2025 goals and objectives was approved. C. Lifestyle/Marketing Report Ms. DeVries: Now its Michelle. Ms. Webb: I've been busy on social media this week. So, it's been a fun week. Mr. Dale: You've been very effective on social media. Ms. Webb: Yes, I was. It's still happening. It's still going on. I'm just keeping it factual. We did it, because of another drive on the other page, which it did calm that page down. It's continuing, but that's okay. I also got another quote for the logo designs. Let me know what you want. The price for the logo project tends to fall into a 12-to-20-hour range. This hourly total rate would be $90. Based on what we're describing, it sounds like this lands at a 12-hour estimate. His process includes three logo concepts to choose from and two or three rounds of design revisions. Ms. DeVries: Okay, so $900 to $1,800. 35 August 28, 2025 Viera East con Ms. Webb: He's asking if we want to maintain the brand's color in the current logo, which is pretty much green and gold and if we are we open to change changing the logo type/font. Ms. DeVries: We are. Mr. Dale: Of course. Ms. Yelvington: Definitely. I would like to keep green in it. Ms. Yelvington: I thought we wanted blue. Ms. DeVries: We wanted blue and green. Ms. Yelvington: Yeah. Mr. Dale: I think comments were made, but I really have no preference. I just want the experts to weigh in, that the logo needs to stand out on whatever material we got. It sounded like a singular color was what works best for the myriad of colored shirts. The other thing that I have read or seen, is that I think I've read grays were the thing that goes well, because you're talking about going with black and some of the other colors. Blue doesn't go well with black. You know, I've read all of the stuff. So, I really don't care. All I am saying is whatever goes with our apparel the best. You see what I got on here. Mr. Moller: That's kind of why I was raising my hand, because it depends on what colors we choose. Even if you have a black logo and you have a black shirt, the logo is going to be white. Ms. Yelvington: Right. Mr. Moller: It doesn't matter what the actual print logo color is. Ms. DeVries: With my company logo, we have a colored version which is the version that would go on white paper. Then there's also a version that you can just make any color like a white or a gray or black or whatever you need to do. Mr. Dale: I don't care what color it is. I just want a different logo to differentiate us. Whatever goes the best. Ms. DeVries: But I think what Michelle is asking, are we okay for her to move forward with this vendor? Mr. Dale: $900 to $1,800 for a professional fashionable logo design, I think is very reasonable. Ms. Yelvington: It seems very reasonable to me too. 36 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. DeVries: So, we're giving her our blessing to go ahead with that. Ms. Yelvington: What colors do you like, Jim? Mr. Moller: I like blue. Ms. DeVries: Like a greyish blue? Mr. Moller: More like a sky blue. Ms. DeVries: Oh, a sky blue. I like to keep the green, because of the golf. Ms. Yelvington: But Jim said every golf course has green. Mr. Moller: The only thing that should be green is the grass. Ms. Yelvington: So, it might be interesting to be unique and not be green, if that's the case. Mr. Moller: I like blue and black or blue and gold. Ms. Yelvington: Blue and gray looks nice together. Mr. Dale: I will say the building colors have really made us stand out, when we painted. The cart colors that you chose, have made us stand out. Ms. DeVries: I noticed it too. Mr. Dale: Everybody's imitating us now. Ms. Yelvington: The golf cart blue is nice. Ms. DeVries: Gray blue, maybe marine. Ms. Webb: Do you know what color that was? Mr. Moller: It's called Space Blue. Mr. Dale: Well, we're on the Space Coast. Ms. DeVries: I like a marine blue. Mr. Moller: I wasn't going in that direction, but that's what it was called. Mr. Dale: That's kind of cool. Ms. Webb: I like a bluish gray or maybe a lighter gray. Ms. Yelvington: Whites are fine. Like, ifhe's doing variation ofcolors. Mr. Dale: I like space blue. Ms. DeVries: Variations of blues and grays. How about that? Mr. Dale: Anything that has the word "Space" in it. Ms. Yelvington: Get creative. Come up with something. Show us some ideas. 37 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. DeVries: Well, and also, we're coastal, so I mean, that's another reason why you might go more towards the aquas. Ms. Webb: That's it. I already gave you my budget. Ms. DeVries: I think you'll like working with Eric. He's one of our graphic designers for my company. Ms. Webb: I'm working on a podcast for the Viera East Golf Course. Ms. Yelvington: Wow. Mr. Dale: Cool. Ms. Yelvington: That's a great idea. Mr. Dale: Are you done? Ms. DeVries: I'm done. Mr. Dale: Because I would like to piggyback an issue then off of the elephant in the room, some of the stuff that we've been dealing with this week on social media. I don't want to get into the weeds on it, but many libelous comments have been made. I believe that is starting to impact our business at the restaurant or has impacted our business at the restaurant. Now we're up to two individuals. Ms. DeVries: I think it's also bad for morale. Mr. Dale: It's bad for moral morale, which is why the post was made. That was mainly for the employees and then we had people that got on and decided to vomit all over it. I don't want to get into the weeds on that thing, but a discussion that we have had in the past, is do we talk to the attorneys about sending cease and desist letters? Ms. Yelvington: 100%, yes. I wanted to do cease and desist letters a long time ago. Mr. Dale: I am kind of at that point now. Ms. Yelvington: We are way past that point. Mr. Dale: I think we're past that point. I think there is enough material out there. Ms. DeVries: So, one of the things that I was looking up recently and I know we have attorneys for the District, but I wonder how much expertise they have in social media law. One of the things that I was looking into was whether there are social media attorneys and there are. So, I'm wondering if this is an area where we might bring in some specialized expertise , specifically about social media and what we might be able to do about some of the issues that we are facing. It's not just this issue. It's some other things, too. 38 August 28, 2025 Viera East COO Ms. Webb: I can also give you an outline of the number of hours that I've been wasting on this rebuttal to maintain. It's costing you guys more, as I'm spending more of my contracted time on this over these two individuals versus getting the podcast finished and doing the things that continue to come up. Mr. Dale: It's impacted anumber ofthings. Ms. DeVries: That would be helpful. I don't know, Jason, if I involve you in this, but i'm willing to make some calls just to get some info. Mr. Showe: What we would need is a proposal from them that the Board would have to approve. You can do that concurrently but let me reach out to our counsel. It really depends on what the issue is. They are a pretty big law firm. Mr. Dale: Sometimes all it takes is a letter. Ms. Yelvington : That's right. Ms. DeVries: I think that would be a good start. You're very well aware of the issues, Jason. Mr. Showe: Yes. I'm taking screenshots. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Ms. Yelvington: Ifourattorney isatabig enough firm,somebody on staffmight know. Ms. DeVries: No, they are a big firm. It's just that they are more governmental corporate and there and there are firms that specialize now in social media. Ms. Yelvington: Right, but then they wouldn't be as familiar with the governmental side. Ms. DeVries: Exactly. Mr. Dale: Beyond just this particular thread, there are other threads. There was one that was on the controlled bums and it basically stated libelous comments about how we irresponsibly don't take care of the District and things along those lines. I'll get with you on the side about that, but what bothers me more, is literally Jim and I were at the Government Center when we were petitioning for the sign and we had a resident that caught us and said, HAren 'tyou Rob Dale?" I said yes and they proceeded to speak to Jim and I for 30 minutes about comments, I believe is on a Nextdoor site that stated people were absolutely convinced that we were going to be building condos on the golf course. Ms. DeVries: For the record , I'm on Nextdoor and I have not seen any of those comments. So, it must be private. 39 August 28, 2025 Viera East COD Mr. Dale: I'm sure it's a private conversation. But regardless , the point is, what I'm trying to get across, is the damage that these comments do to people. This person, these residents, were literally talking to us, because they were about to sell their home. They were absolutely convinced that we were going to be building condos on the golf course. Ms. DeVries: Close the golf course and build condos. Mr. Dale: We were going to do what Turtle Creek did and we were going to close the golf course and build condos . Ms. DeVries: They were on a discussion site saying that we're losing so much money and we're going to close the golf course and we're going to be like Turtle Creek. We're out there saying, "Wait a minute, we're having our best year ever. " Mr. Dale: Right? The perception literally is out there that we're losing money, which is why Michelle, in her good judgment made the post, "Hey, we're actually having our best year ever " and that's my point, that these libelous comments do impact us. Ms. Yelvington: They do and there are several of us on this Board that have professional reputations and they're going on these sites and saying terrible things. Mr. Dale: Horrible things. Ms. Yelvington: That reflect on us. Mr. Dale: I was just impacted this week. Ms. Yelvington: Yes and it's inappropriate. The whole truth is right here in the meetings for anybody that wants to come and attend. The speculation that's happening on social media is nothing but derogatory towards all of us that carry licenses and have to follow professional regulations. Mr. Dale: Thank you. Ms. Yelvington: It needs to stop. Ms. DeVries: It does. Mr. Dale: The comment bled over into the company that I work for. It was absolutely inappropriate. Ms. Webb: The main situation, I don't think everybody understands when they read social media, is that these are just the posting on the one side. The person who's on our site blowing it up. It's their own personal... Ms. Yelvington: Opinion. 40 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. Webb: Opinion, irrespective of what they think is happening. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. Webb: So even in my post I indicated, "So you got to understand that you're saying that five Board Members, a District company that manages the CDD, the Supervisor, the Restaurant Manager. " Ms. DeVries: The Auditors. Ms. Yelvington: The third-party CPA auditors. Ms. Webb: Are all in this conspiracy. Ms. Yelvington: And the peer reviewers of that CPA firm. Ms. Webb: And the reviewers. We pay them off to make this whole big thing. Ms. Yelvington: Yeah. Ms. Webb: And that Rob and I might make a lot of money from you guys. Mr. Dale: Believe me, this gig doesn't make me any money. Ms. Webb: It's just a personal vendetta. It's a personal vendetta on this site that's been posted. It's a personal vendetta, this lady who keeps going on our page. Where can we stop it? Ms. Yelvington: It needs to stop. We need to do the cease-and-desist letter. Ms. Webb: I was hosting a giveaway of our final thing and the lady called me a name in front of the crowd. Ms. DeVries: Twice. Ms. Yelvington: It's inappropriate. It needs to stop. Ms. Webb: It's inappropriate behavior. It's not professional in any way. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. Webb: I'm trying to respond to it professionally. Ms. DeVries: You are. We appreciate you. Ms. Yelvington: The whole truth is right here in this room. None of them come to these meetings, so it just continues. They just keep perpetuating this whole falsehood. Ms. DeVries: Right. Ms. Yelvington: That's so frustrating. Ms. Webb: This is the problem with social media. Ms. DeVries: Right. Well, when they post these derogatory comments, they don't post any proof. They just make the derogatory comments. 41 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. Yelvington: They are just getting to say whatever they want to about licensed professionals. Ms. Webb: They want to make it seem like they belittle us. Mr. Dale: Yep. Ms. Webb: I keep saying, "Go listen to the audio of all these meetings, if you have questions on how this transpired. Listen to the audio. It's all here. " Ms. Yelvington: But there's no rationalizing with an irrational person. Mr. Dale: Absolutely. Ms. Yelvington: I think what's happening is that it's not going to stop unless we get legal involved, because they will go back and forth with us until the cows come home. Mr.Dale:Yes.Wehavetwo ofthose.Idohaveafollow uponthis.Icaneitherwaituntil my Supervisor Request or since we are already on the theme here, there arc a couple things that I want in the official record. Ms. DeVries: Alright. You can have your Supervisor Request now. • Supervisor's Requests (Item 10) Mr. Dale: Okay. Ms. DeVries: You go first. Mr. Dale: I do want to ask Jason, when I was Chair, what was my general policy? Did I ever make motions? Mr. Showe: No. Mr. Dale: Okay, thank you. The second thing that I would like to ask is, do I now or have I ever had check signing authority or the ability to disperse funds from the District? Mr. Showe: No. Mr. Dale: I have not. Thank you for verifying that. The reason why that is so important, is because I am specifically precluded by my company, from having any access to money. As a financial advisor, I'm not allowed to touch the money, which is the reason why I'm able to serve on this Board. The other thing, the last thing that I would like to address, is reimbursements. I have paid for many things for this District, particularly when we were building the dog park. Many of the things were $20 here or $30 there, that kind of stuff, that I was not going to submit for reimbursement. The reason why this was important, is I spent an entire year of Saturdays, helping to build the dog park and the children's playground. On one of those days, there was a 42 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD bill from Home Depot for a few hundred dollars. I don't remember the exact amount and it was one of those situations where we needed the materials right away or we were going to have to wait. We had all of the volunteers there waiting. So, I decided to just front the cost. If! had to eat it, I was going to eat it, but I submitted it to the District and the Board for approval. It was bond related; to build the park and it was a Home Depot receipt. Jason, do you recall that and did that go for approval through the Board? Mr. Showe: Oh, absolutely. Anything that was spent out of the bonds went for approval of the Board. Again, without looking at that specific invoice, I don't really have a recollection of it directly, but as I recall, I think you received a better discount than we would have with our CDD savings on the tax. So, we actually got the materials that were eligible for bond expenditures cheaper, saving the taxpayers money. Mr. Dale: Right. Have I ever submitted a reimbursement for anything that I personally profit or gained from? Mr. Showe: No. Mr. Dale: Thank you. That's all I want to get into the official record. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Thank you. Rob, we are sorry if it sounds like somebody on social media is accusing you of these things. Mr. Dale: Yes. Ms. DeVries: This is, I think, why we really need to bring in an attorney at this point, because this is practically a volunteer position and it's now affecting our livelihoods. Ms. Yelvington: Right and our time and energy involved. Ms. Webb: They are costing the taxpayer's money. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, they are. Ms. Webb: Because I'm spending so much of my time where I could be doing commercials. Ms. DeVries: Right. It's that too. They're costing the taxpayer money. Ms. Webb: To make sure the truth is put out there instead of an opinion. Ms. DeVries: Right. I don't know if anybody would ever want to be an elected official, like we are and then to have constituents who can basically throw mud at your professional livelihood. Mr. Dale: Right. 43 August 28, 2025 Viera East COD Ms. DeVries: Who wants that? Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Dale: I'm fine with policy. Ms. DeVries: Ifwe were really doing these things, that's one thing, but we aren't. We're so conscientious. Ms. Yelvington: This is practically a volunteer position. So, to be getting all of the backlash from these false comments. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. Yelvington: It doesn't make any sense. Mr. Dale: Things like you don't agree with building the dog park, great. I agree. That's your opinion. Ms. Yelvington: Right. Mr. Dale: I totally understand that, but when you start creating falsehoods. Ms. Yelvington: Right. Ms. DeVries: That are practically criminal, accusing people of doing things. Mr. Dale: It's libelous. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, it's libel. Mr. Dale: It's defamatory and libelous and there are laws against that. That is where I'm at. Ms. DeVries: So, yeah, I think this is where we need to bring in some legal counsel on this. Mr. Macheras: I agree 100%. I think meetings ago, on one side, my blood pressure goes up and on the other side, not necessarily what you're talking about, there is no cure for stupidity. Mr. Dale: Correct. Mr. Macheras: There's no cure for ignorance. That will never go away. Mr. Dale: Correct. Mr. Macheras: I blame some of the people that come up to you and ask these questions out of fear. How do you not know? Ms. DeVries: How do you not go out to the website and take a look at that? Mr. Macheras: Right. That's never going to go away. I think I've said it before; I don't let my behavior get dictated by somebody else's attitude. 44 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: With that said, I think it would behoove us as a Board, if we're going to start looking into this, because again, we're talking about funds too. You all know more about this than I do, because I've not seen any of this, in my opinion, I'm not a lawyer, but I watch a lot of Judge Judy though, just like some of the stuff you said, we need to present what was stated and what isn't true. Because if I'm going after a lawyer, I would think a mali"cious intent needs to be shown. Mr. Dale: Yes. Mr. Macheras: I'm guessing it is, because it's baloney what's being put out there. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: The other thing that I'd like to ask and I tried this six or eight months ago and got nowhere. That Facebook page, if that's what we're talking about, was based on a community resource. It's now been hijacked, as we all know. None of us can get on it and from screenshots that have been sent to me by residents, there's nothing on there about Viera East. I won't mention the other companies, because it's not their fault, but there are other restaurants on the other side. There are other golf courses on the other side. Mr. Dale: Oh, everything is west related. That's the irony. an individual is using a community site that was set up by us as a team. Mr. Macheras: So, I would ask, because I got nowhere with Facebook, whether Mr. Dale: Well, not so much as the Board. What it was, was Michelle, a former Board Member and myself and because the former Board Member says that he doesn't have any friends, Michelle and I were the ones ... Ms. Webb: No. Hold on. It got set up, because we had a East Viera discussion page that Steve did not care for the lady who ran it. He said, "She's not going to post any of our stuff on her page." Well, it's our own page. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. Webb: I created the page. Mr. Machera : That would be something I think we should look into. We've created a page that we now don't have any control over. There's really nothing on it that has to do with our area that it was created for and we have an individual that can pick and choose who in the community. I'll be honest with you; we were all blocked. I said, well maybe my wife won't, but 45 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD my wife got blocked. My 90-year-old mom got blocked, because she has the same name that I have. So that's the ignorance and the stupidity we're up against. I think part of the issue is, if there's a way to do that, it was hijacked by an individual using it for their own purpose. That doesn't reflect anything on the community and it's all negative stuff. I think that's a big piece and then if that individual wants to post on it, that's fine, versus hijacking. But I think that's an issue too, whether anything can come out of that or not. I don't know. Mr. Dale: I agree with all of the above. The main thing that upsets me about this though, yes, obviously from a personal perspective, it's like, "Really, I got to deal with this. " But I have a thick hide. The main thing that upsets me about it, is it is impacting our restaurants performance and I believe, based on other past comments, I think it affects some of our older residents. I think it affects our golf course and the numbers. I think people are less inclined to want to use us. Mr. Macheras: Again, like I said earlier, sometimes people ask questions and why don't you go find out. But I would agree, if I just moved into the area and I'm looking at that, I'm like, "What? " Mr. Dale: There was literally an Auburn Lakes resident, in the most recent thread, that was on there and there were all sorts of stuff being put out. Literally during the course, after Michelle's post came out, they made the comment, "Well then why is this person posting all of this stuff?" You can see it develop over the course of a couple days. He sees the facts and then all of a sudden he's like, "Well that's BS" and all of a sudden he's over on another page arguing with the former Board Member and saying, "None ofthis is true" and then starts getting berated by the former Board Member. Well, all he wound up doing is converting this person that was a CDD taxpayer who questioned what was going on and then he finds out, he's not real with it. Mr. Macheras: Like I said, it would be nice if that was returned for the purpose that it was created and not being used as a personal vendetta page that people could look at. Mr. Dale: Right. Mr. Macheras: Because how come none of us are answering? Mr. Dale: Right. If people were giving opinions, I'm good with it. Everybody gets to have an opinion. What they're doing is they are stating fact now and they are impacting our restaurant and our golf course and taxpayers business. Mr. Macheras: Right. 46 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Dale: And that's why I'm most upset about it. Mr. Macheras: Right and I agree, to come up with those bullet points, because if it was me, if I'm sitting in a chair that had a law degree, that's what I would send, malicious intent, unless they can provide evidence. If they can't, then that's a pretty good indication that they're making it all up from a personal standpoint and then that gets into whatever else he gets into. Mr. Dale: Right. Ms. De Vries: So, you get the gist of what we need to run by the attorney, see what we can do. Maybe, ifwe need it, to bring in some sort of a social media attorney. Mr. Dale: I'm going to look through some of the stuff that I have saved and the stuff that I believe is the most egregious, relating to the topic at hand. Mr. Showe: I got ya. If you send those to me, I will forward that so they can see it. Ms. Yelvington: Hopefully people have screenshotted the history, in case they decide to take it down. We've got evidence. Mr. Dale: Yes. D. Restaurant Report This item was not discussed. NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Treasurer's Report A. Approval of Check Register Ms. DeVries: Rob, you did your Supervisor's Request, but we did not do the Treasurer's Report, the approval of the Check Register, Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Mr. Showe: We have a summary of the Check Register. For your General Fund, we have Checks #5533 through #5557, Checks #210 from the Capital Reserve and Checks #32814 through #32887 for the Golf Course Fund, for a grand total amount of $135,528.65. Staff can answer any questions on those invoices or we can take a motion to approve. Mr. Macheras: I will just say that I had a check pulled out for $6,071 to ask a question. That was what they were talking about. Ms. Yelvington: Oh, that tax check. Mr. Macheras: That check was signed tonight. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Alright. Any questions? Ms. Yelvington: Are we still getting our food sourced through Cysco? Mr. Showe: Yes. 47 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Ms. Yelvington: Did we find out any more about Cheney Brothers and potential rebates or any of that? Mr. Moller: We were able to get into the account. Everything was on the up and up. So, there was nothing nefarious or anything like that. Ms. DeVries: Okay. Ms. Yelvington: But do they in fact offer a rebate? Was there a program? Mr. Moller: It was certain items. Let's say that Smithfield had a promo on bacon and if you bought so many cases of bacon, then you received a rebate, but with Cheney Brothers, everything was EFT. So, we do get credits. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. Mr. Showe: So, we would just look for a motion to approve the Check Register, if there are no other questions. Mr. Dale MOVED to approve the Check Register for July 25, 2025 through August 21, 2025 in the amount of $135,528.65 and Ms. Yelvington seconded the motion. Ms. DeVries: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the Check Register for July 25, 2025 through August 21,2025 in the amount of $135,528.65 was approved. B. Balance Sheet and Income Statements Mr. Showe: Briefly, we'll just go through the financials. It's all there for the Board's information. No action is required by the Board, but I know Rob's always interested. We are actually now at 101% collected on our assessments. Mr. Dale: Woohoo! Mr. Showe: I promised you we'd get there. We got there. So, I just wanted to report that. That's all I have. Jim has gone through most of the operational side. TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisor's Requests Ms. DeVries: Moving on to Supervisor's Requests. We will go to Bill. 48 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDD Mr. Macheras: I actually don't have anything, but I just want to thank Jim, because I think he alluded to mystery Board Member percentages or something earlier in your presentation. It makes it pop. It means more to me, so I appreciate that, but no, I'm good. Mr. Dale: It's grown on me, Bill. I like it. Ms. Yelvington: Yeah, I liked it, too. It was good. Mr. Dale: Good call. Ms. DeVries: Denise? Ms. Yelvington: I have two. The two same things as last time. The Oak trees and defibrillator. Mr. Moller: Yes, we've actually looked at the defibrillator. We'll have a new one on October pt. Ms. Yelvington: Okay. Mr. Dale: It's a good call. Ms. Yelvington: Thank you. Mr. Showe: Yeah, we did check with the insurance company on it. Ms. Yelvington: I read that. Ms. DeVries: Yeah, it was good. Thank you for that report. Ms. Yelvington: That was very good. Thank you. Okay. That's it for me. Mr. Dale: Without going into any detail, our Board Member that was not able to make it tonight, did ask me to share on the record, that he attended Karaoke Night on Friday and could not get over how friendly and collegial and nice everybody was at the Hook & Eagle. He wanted me to say that. That was his one request of me. He wanted me to share how nice and warm and friendly everybody was. He was very appreciative of that. Ms. DeVries: Sounds good. Thanks for sharing. I don't have any request, so I will take a motion to adjourn. ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment On MOTION by Mr. Dale seconded by Ms. Yelvington with all in favor the meeting was adjourned, 49 August 28, 2025 Viera East CDn ChairmanNice Chairman 50
