River Ridge CDD adopts FY 2024/25 budget, approves assessment roll and accepts supervisor resignation
Summary
The River Ridge Community Development District approved the fiscal year 2024/25 budget and a special-assessments roll, and accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman. The board also noted scrivener corrections to the budget and directed outreach to fill the vacant seat.
The River Ridge Community Development District board on Aug. 27 adopted its fiscal year 2024/25 budget, approved a special-assessments roll and accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman.
Cleo Adams, district manager, opened a public hearing on the budget after Mr. Chuck Adams noted the FY 2025 budget in the agenda contained errors and that scrivener corrections were needed. No members of the public spoke during the hearing. On motion by Kurt Blumenthal, assistant secretary, and second by Robert Twombly, assistant secretary, the board adopted Resolution 2024-07 adopting the budget as amended.
The board then opened a separate public hearing on Resolution 2024-08, which makes a determination of benefit and imposes special assessments for fiscal year 2024/2025. District counsel Tony Pires recommended opening the hearing; no affected property owners spoke. The board directed deletion of references to "Exhibit B" from the resolution and, on motion by Blumenthal and second by Twombly, adopted the resolution as amended.
The board also considered the resignation of James Gilman from Seat 1 (term expires Nov. 2026). After discussion about the appointment process, the board accepted Mr. Gilman’s resignation by unanimous vote and directed outreach to solicit candidates: Mr. Long and The Meadows’ POA manager will e-blast residents about the vacancy and request resumes or letters of interest before the next meeting.
The board recorded and corrected several clerical items in the meeting minutes and budget documents prior to adoption. The district manager noted the initial report required under separate new legislation (HB7013) will be due Dec. 1, 2025 and must be posted on the district website.
