River Ridge Board approves appointments, consultant contracts and storm cleanup measures
Summary
At its Oct. 22 meeting the River Ridge CDD Board appointed Keith Merrill to a vacant seat, adopted a resolution electing officers, authorized consultant agreements for gatehouse redesign and signage, approved a storm clean-up street sweeping contract, and ratified the FY2023 audited financial report.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board of Supervisors on Oct. 22 appointed resident Keith Merrill to fill the vacant Seat 1 and ratified a series of actions to move several maintenance and capital projects forward.
The Board voted unanimously to appoint Mr. Merrill after a nomination by Chair Bob Schultz and a second by Robert Twombly; Mrs. Adams, acting as a notary, administered the Oath of Office. The Board then adopted Resolution 2025-01 to elect officers (nominating Bob Schultz as chair, Terry Mountford as vice chair and naming Kurt Blumenthal, Robert Twombly and Keith Merrill as assistant secretaries) and to remove James Gilman from the roster.
The board approved several consultant and contractor actions by voice vote, each recorded in the minutes as adopted “with all in favor.” These included authorizing Bowman Consulting to retain RG Architects, P.A. as a subconsultant for redesign of two gatehouses (allowing work to begin under a subconsultant arrangement and booking $62,500 as an up-front reimbursable cost tied to future financing); approving Bowman Consulting Group’s landscape architecture proposal for the Pelican Sound Master Signage Program; and approving a one-time $1,475 street-sweeping storm clean-up contract with Precision Cleaning, Inc., with authorization for additional week-to-week cleanings over the next month if needed.
The Board also approved a Proposed Grant of Easement for drainage from PSGRC to the RRCDD and ratified Resolution 2024-05A accepting the audited financial report for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2023. The Aug. 27, 2024 public hearing and regular meeting minutes were approved as amended, and the Nov. 12 meeting date was officially rescheduled to Nov. 19, 2024.
No recorded roll-call tallies appear in the minutes; where votes are described the minutes record them as adopted “with all in favor.” The minutes show motions, seconders and that required procedural notices (oath, ethics training guidance and conflict-of-interest forms) were discussed and provided to the newly sworn supervisor.
The meeting adjourned at 3:07 p.m.
