Heritage Pines CDD elects officers, adopts amended FY 2023/2024 budget and approves routine items
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting the Heritage Pines Community Development District elected officers, removed a prior officer, adopted an amended FY 2023/2024 budget to account for a new lawnmower and a $20,000 contingency increase, accepted unaudited financials and approved amended minutes.
The Heritage Pines Community Development District Board of Supervisors elected officers and approved several administrative and financial actions at a Dec. 10, 2024 regular meeting in Hudson.
Kathleen Lonergan, serving as chair, and a board that included Vice Chair Arthur Rhodes and assistant secretaries Michael Walsh, Carol Vaughan and Stephen Putman adopted a slate of officers after a nomination by Michael Walsh. The resolution also removed Janice Benedetti from the board's officer list. Michael Walsh moved the nomination; Carol Vaughan seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
The board also adopted Resolution 2025-02 to amend the district's Fiscal Year 2023/2024 budget. District Manager Chuck Adams said the amendment reflects a major expenditure for a new lawnmower, adds columns showing actuals versus adopted budget, and increases the "Operations and maintenance - Contingencies" line item by $20,000 to cover additional journal entries if needed. Adams also noted the district will receive a $1,298 refund from the Tax Collector's Office. The budget amendment passed on a motion by Michael Walsh, seconded by Stephen Putman, with all in favor.
In addition, the board accepted the unaudited financial statements as of Oct. 31, 2024 after a presentation by Adams. Adams noted the district established a BankUnited Insured Cash Sweep investment account and that the initial advertised interest rate of 4.75% had declined to about 4.25%. The statements were accepted on a motion by Arthur Rhodes, seconded by Carol Vaughan, with all in favor.
The board approved amended minutes from its Oct. 15, 2024 meeting after corrections to several lines and entries. Michael Walsh moved approval, Carol Vaughan seconded, and the minutes were approved unanimously.
