River Ridge CDD adopts FY2024/25 budget and imposes special assessments
Summary
The River Ridge Community Development District unanimously adopted its fiscal year 2024/25 budget and a related special assessment roll Aug. 27 after correcting scrivener errors; no members of the public spoke during the hearings.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board of Supervisors adopted its fiscal year 2024/25 budget and a companion special assessment roll during a public hearing at its Aug. 27 meeting in Estero.
District Manager Chuck Adams told the Board that the budget packet in the agenda contained errors and that staff had corrected scrivener items, including the description for “Street sweeping.” Mrs. Adams opened the public hearing and no affected property owners or members of the public spoke. On a motion by Supervisor Kurt Blumenthal, seconded by Supervisor Robert Twombly, the Board adopted Resolution 2024-07, "Relating to the Annual Appropriations and Adopting the Budget(s) for the Fiscal Year Beginning October 1, 2024, and Ending September 30, 2025," as amended.
The Board also held a public hearing on special assessments. District Counsel Tony Pires recommended opening the hearing; no property owners spoke. The Board approved edits removing references to “Exhibit B” and, on a motion by Mr. Blumenthal seconded by Mr. Twombly, adopted Resolution 2024-08, making a determination of benefit and imposing special assessments for fiscal year 2024/2025.
Both motions passed "with all in favor," and were recorded as adopted by the Board. The budget adoption and assessment roll set the District’s spending and the mechanism for collecting assessments for the coming fiscal year; staff and counsel said corrected paperwork will be filed as part of the official record.
The Board also discussed compliance with newly enacted reporting requirements under HB7013, which will require special districts to post an initial goals-and-performance report by Dec. 1, 2025; the Board approved staff’s proposed goals and performance measures for Fiscal Year 2025.
Next steps: staff will finalize the corrected budget exhibit and assessment roll for the record and post required materials in accordance with statutory timelines and the District’s public-posting obligations.
