FIFTH ORDER OF BUSNESS Ratification of Fiscal Year 2024 Audit 
Engagement Letter with Grau & Associates 

 Mr. Flint: You have retained Grau as your independent auditor and you enter into an 
agreement annually for the services. I believe I may have signed this before I knew we were going

is there a motion to ratify? 

 

On MOTION by Mr. Gorrill, seconded by Mr. Owen, with all in favor, 
the Fiscal Year 2024 Audit Engagement Letter with Grau & 
Associates, was ratified. 

 

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports 

A. Attorney 


Mr. Eckert: I have two items. The first is a reminder about your ethics training that is due 
by December 31st. If you have not done that, it is something you need to do in the next three 
months. The second item is a new law went into effect that anytime we extend or enter into a new 
agreement or amend the agreement, we have to get an affidavit from the contractor stating they do 
not engage in human trafficking. We have provided a form of that to your District Manager to 


have, but that would go for any contract with any non-governmental entity that the CDD has. With 
that, I conclude my report, unless the Board has any questions. 

Mr. Flint: We will follow up with Grau for the affidavit. 

 

B. Engineer 


Mr. Flint: We have no engineer report. 

 

C. District Manager’s Report 
i. Balance Sheet and Income Statement 
ii. Ratification of Funding Requests #55-57 
iii. Designation of November 12, 2024, as Landowners’ Meeting Date 





Mr. Flint: You have the balance sheet and income statement through July 31st. These are 
unaudited. If there are any questions, we can discuss those. If not, there is no action required. 

 

Mr. Flint: We have ratification of Funding Requests #55-57. 55 is for Dewberry, GMS, 
and Kutak. 56 and 57 are for GMS and Kutak. Are there any questions on those? If not, is there a 
motion to ratify? 

 

On MOTION by Mr. Greene, seconded by Mr. Owen, with all in 
favor, Funding Requests #55-57, were ratified. 

 

Mr. Flint: Normally, you are required to announce 90 days before the Landowners’ meeting 
in a publicly advertised meeting, however we missed that this year. We are designating the date 
now. We are not going to meet the 90 days, but there is only one landowner that would object to 
not receiving the notice 90 days in advance. We do not believe it is an issue. Mike, any additional 
steps, other that we will advertise this? 

Mr. Eckert: No, I do not think there are any additional steps to take at this time. I think 
when we have the landowners’ election, we may ask the landowner to make a statement stating 
they have had many defects in the announcement process, given that it is a little late. Other than 
that, I do not have anything to add. 

Mr. Flint: And it would be a landowner meeting, not a Board meeting, meaning the 
landowner can designate any hold to be here to cast the votes. We are looking at holding it at 10 


in the morning on November 12th. We can probably find a proxy holder to designate to talk. If 
there are no questions, is there a motion to approve? 

 

On MOTION by Mr. Gorrill, seconded by Mr. Greene, with all in 
favor, Designating November 12, 2024, as Landowners’ Meeting 
Date, was approved. 

 

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisors’ Requests 

 Mr. Flint: Anything the Board wanted to discuss? If not, is there a motion to adjourn? 

 

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment 

 

On MOTION by Mr. Greene, seconded by Mr. Owen, with all in 
favor, the meeting was adjourned.
