NEW BUSINESS
Consider Resolution No. 2024-01 – Electronic Signature Policy

Mrs. Perez presented Resolution No. 2024-01, entitled:

Consider Resolution No. 2024-02 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Proposed Budget

Mrs. Perez presented Resolution No. 2024-02, entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-02
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE AH AT TURNPIKE SOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mrs. Perez read the title of the resolution into the record and indicated that the maximum debt assessment rates of $1,594.54 for Phases 1 and 2 (as done in prior years) and $1,578.02 will be assessed for Phase 3 pursuant to the Methodology.

The O&M Assessment is slightly lower than last year. The estimated available funds anticipated as of 9-30-2024 are $95,000, should no unexpected expenses arise. A carryover balance in the amount of
$7,000 has been applied to this budget ($7,000 was issued last year).

Because the overall presented assessment for 2024/2025 is currently lower than the 2023/2024 assessment, letters to the homeowners will not be required.

Professional Engineer Selection Committee Meeting – Review Proposals and Make Recommendation and Consider RFQ Process for Engineering Services

Mrs. Perez recessed the Regular Meeting and simultaneously called to order a meeting of the Professional Engineer Selection Committee (“Committee”).

Mrs. Perez presented the information and handouts and proceeded to explain that the purpose of the Committee meeting was to rank the proposers who had replied to the RFQ for District Engineer. Although there was only one proposal received, the Committee consensus was to proceed with the ranking process: Thereby waiving the criteria of preference ranking of a minimum of three (3) firms. Per the criteria previously established by the Committee, the Committee ranked Alvarez Engineering as Number 1.

There being no further Committee business to conduct, the Committee meeting was adjourned and the Regular Meeting was simultaneously reconvened.

Mrs. Perez recommended to the Board that it would be in order to act on the Committee’s recommendation. A discussion ensued after which:

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Jonathan Pena, seconded by Supervisor Marilyn Ortiz and unanimously passed waiving the criteria of ranking of a minimum of three (3) firms and ranking Alvarez Engineering as Number 1 and directing the District Manager to negotiate a contract/agreement with Alvarez Engineers, Inc.; and further authorizes District officials to engage the services of Alvarez Engineers, Inc.

Mrs. Perez mentioned that during a previous meeting the Board authorized the termination of the service with Ed Pino of American Services of Miami Corp., once the Board was ready to engage the services of a new District Engineer via the RFQ process. Therefore, it would be in order for District Counsel to prepare a notice (previously approved) to be forwarded with an effective date pursuant to the agreement.

With respect to maintenance of facilities, the District Engineer shall render such services as authorized in writing by the District.

ARTICLE 2 METHOD OF AUTHORIZATION

ARTICLE 4 REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES
Reimbursable expenses consist of actual expenditures made by District Engineer, its employees, or its consultants in the interest of the project for the incidental items listed below:
Expenses of transportation and living when traveling in connection with a project, for long distance calls and facsimiles, expedited delivery fees, and fees paid for securing approval of authorities having jurisdiction over a project.

Expenses incurred in the reproduction, postage and handling of drawings and specifications except those used for in-house purposes.
