Summary
At its Aug. 27 meeting the River Ridge Community Development District adopted its fiscal year 2024/25 budget (Resolution 2024-07), approved Resolution 2024-08 imposing special assessments, accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman and approved HB7013-required goals and performance measures.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board of Supervisors adopted the district’s fiscal year 2024/25 budget and a companion special-assessments resolution and accepted a supervisor resignation at a public meeting on Aug. 27, 2024, in Estero and via Zoom.
Assistant Secretary Kurt Blumenthal moved and Assistant Secretary Robert Twombly seconded approval of authorizing Chair Bob Schultz’s remote participation; the board voted unanimously to allow his full participation. Later, after a public hearing with no public speakers, the board adopted Resolution 2024-07, relating to annual appropriations and adopting the budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2024 and ending Sept. 30, 2025, as amended. District Manager Chuck Adams told the board that the version in the agenda contained scrivener errors that were corrected before adoption.
The board also opened a public hearing on Resolution 2024-08, which makes a determination of benefit and imposes special assessments for FY2024/25. No property owners spoke. The board directed staff to delete references to “Exhibit B” throughout the resolution and adopted Resolution 2024-08 as amended.
The board accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman (Seat 1, term through November 2026). Mrs. Adams said staff will e-blast Meadows residents about the vacancy and request resumes or letters of interest for appointment to fill the unexpired term.
Separately, the board approved a Goals and Objectives and Performance Measures/Standards & Annual Reporting form to comply with recently adopted state law (HB7013), which requires special districts to establish and post annual goals and performance measures; staff noted the initial report is due Dec. 1, 2025.
All recorded motions during the meeting were approved "with all in favor," with Supervisors Mountford, Blumenthal, Twombly and Chair Schultz voting yes and Supervisor Gilman absent. The board’s next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 4, 2024 at 1:00 p.m.
