RE: Venetian Parc Community Development District Auditor Renewal

At the November 8, 2018 Venetian Parc Community Development District Board Of Supervisors meeting, the firm of Grau & Associates was selected to perform the 9-30- 2018, 9-30-2019 and 9-30-2020 year end audits of the District with an option to perform the 9-30-2021 and 9-30-22 audits.

The fees for the 9-30-2018 audit were $3,600. The fees for the 9-30-2019 audit were
$3,700. And the fees for the 9-30-2020 audit were $3,800. The proposed fee for the 9- 30-2021 audit is $3,900, which is the budgeted amount for audit fees for Fiscal Year 2021/2022. And the proposed fee for the 9-30-2022 audit is $3,900.

Management is pleased with the professionalism and the competence of the Grau & Associates partners and staff; therefore management recommends that the Board approve the renewal option for the Fiscal Year Ending 9-30-2021 and 9-30-2022 audits for Grau & Associates.

MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	July 16, 2021

RE:	2021 Legislative Update

As District Counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor pending legislation that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our Community Development District and other Special District clients. It is at this time of year that we summarize those legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session, as follows:

Chapter 2021-226, Laws of Florida (HB 1103). This legislation requires independent special fire control districts and hospital districts to engage independent firms to conduct performance reviews beginning October 1, 2022 and October 1, 2023, respectively, and every five years thereafter. This legislation also requires all independent mosquito control districts and soil and water conservation districts to undergo a performance review conducted by The Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA). OPPAGA must submit the performance reviews of the districts by September 30, 2023, for independent mosquito districts and by September 30, 2024, for soil and water conservation districts. This law also requires annual financial reports and annual audit reports for all special districts to identify separately:
The total number of district employees compensated in the last pay period of the fiscal year;
The total number of independent contractors paid in the last month of the fiscal year;
All compensation earned by employees;
All compensation earned by contractors;
Each construction project with a total cost of at least $65,000 approved by the district to begin after October 1 of the fiscal year being reported and the total expenditures for the project;
A budget variance report showing how district spending compared to the original budget for the year; and
For independent special district that levies ad valorem taxes or non-ad valorem special assessments, include the rates, total amount collected, total amount and terms of  outstanding bonds.
Finally, this act clarifies that community redevelopment agencies with revenues or expenses greater than $100,000 must conduct an annual financial audit separate from the annual financial report of the county or municipality that created the agency. The effective date of this act is October 1, 2021.

Chapter 2021-17, Laws of Florida (HB 35). This law modifies the criteria that a newspaper must satisfy to publish legal notices. This law also gives government agencies,

including special districts, the option to publish legal notices on the website of a qualified newspaper and on Florida Press Association's (FPA) repository website under specified conditions. Finally, this legislation requires the FPA to ensure that minority populations have equitable access to legal notices posted on the FPA's repository website and requires the FPA to publish a report containing specified information. The effective date of this act is January 1, 2022.

Chapter 2021-1, Laws of Florida (SB 72). This Act creates Sections 768.38 and 768.381, Florida Statutes. Section 768.38 is the statute relevant to our special district clients. It specifies requirements for COVID-19-related civil actions/claims, provides that the plaintiff has the burden of proof in such actions, and provides that if the court determines that the defendant made a good faith effort to substantially comply with authoritative or controlling government- issued health standards or guidance at the time the cause of action accrued, the defendant is immune from civil liability. If the court determines that the defendant did not make such a good faith effort, the plaintiff is authorized to proceed with his/her action; however, the defendant will only be liable for an act or omission relating to a COVID-19-related claim if gross negligence is proven by clear and convincing evidence. The effective date of this act is March 29, 2021.

Chapter 2021-168, Laws of Florida (SB 64). Section 1 of this legislation amends Section. 403.064, Florida Statutes, and requires domestic wastewater utilities that dispose of effluent, reclaimed water, or reuse water by surface water discharge to create a timeline and plan to eliminate nonbeneficial surface water within five years. Section 2 of the legislation creates section. 403.892, Florida Statutes, to provide incentives for using greywater technologies. The legislation requires counties, municipalities, and special districts to promote the beneficial reuse of water, and the reuse of reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. The effective date of this act is June 29, 2021

Chapter 2021-63, Laws of Florida (HB 337). In the context of impact fees this act provides for minimum criteria for the adoption of impact fees by local governments (includes special districts). The legislation also provides limitations on how much and how often impact fees may be increased. The act requires the local government to credit against the collection of impact fees, on a dollar-for-dollar basis at fair market value, any contribution related to the improvement of public facilities or infrastructure towards impacts on the same type of public facilities for which the contribution was made. Lastly, the legislation requires local governments to submit with their annual financial report or audit an affidavit signed by their chief financial officer or executive officer attesting that all impact fees were collected and expended in compliance with the statute, that the reporting entity complied with the spending period, and that the funds were expended only for the uses allowed under the statute. The effective date of this legislation is June 4, 2021.

Chapter 2021-194, Laws of Florida (HB 53). Florida law currently defines a "public works project" as an activity in which 50% or more of the cost is paid for from state-appropriated funds and provides certain preferences in competitive solicitation. This legislation removes the 50% threshold so that the provisions of law for public works projects will now apply to all government projects that require competitive solicitation. In addition, the act prohibits the use of a local ordinance or regulation to prevent licensed contractors from participation in the bidding process based on the contractor maintaining an office in the jurisdiction, the contractor's hiring of employees or subcontractors from the jurisdiction, or the contractor's payment of local taxes,

assessments, or duties within the jurisdiction. The governmental entity is also prohibited from requiring a contractor to pay a predetermined wage, provide specified benefits, control, limit, or expand staffing, or recruit, train, or hire employees from a single source. The act further requires each county, municipality, or special district providing wastewater services to develop a needs analysis for its jurisdiction over the next 20 years. The needs analysis must be provided to the county by June 30, 2022, and every five years thereafter. Lastly, the act requires each county, municipality, or special district providing a stormwater management program or stormwater management system to develop a needs analysis for its jurisdiction over the next 20 years. This needs analysis must be provided to the county by July 31, 2022, and every five years thereafter. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2021.

Chapter 2021-124, Laws of Florida (SB 378). This legislation amends Section. 218.735 Florida Statutes, to increase the statutory interest rate from 1% per month to 2% per month for public and private parties that fail to make required payments for certain construction labor, services, and materials. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2021,

Chapter 2021-173, Laws of Florida (SB 400). This law prohibits an agency from responding to a request to inspect or copy a record by filing an action for declaratory relief against the requester to determine whether the record is a public record or the status of the, public record is confidential or exempt. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2021.

Chapter 2021-129, Laws of Florida (SB 890). This act amends Section. 119.0712(2), Florida Statutes, to provide for a $2,000 fine to any person using or releasing information contained in the Driver and Vehicle Database (Driver License/ Insurance) for a purpose not specifically authorized by law. The effective date of this act is October 1, 2021.

Chapter 2021-165, Laws of Florida (SB 44). This act amends Section. 934.50, Florida Statutes, to create additional exceptions to the general prohibition on drone surveillance by authorizing a state agency or political subdivision to use an approved drone to assess damage during a declared state of emergency resulting from a hurricane, flood, wildfire, or other natural disaster. The act requires the Department of Management Services (DMS) to publish an approved drone manufacturers' list by January 1, 2022. A governmental agency using an unapproved drone must discontinue the use of any such drone by January 1, 2023. As with any surveillance activity, governmental actors are bound by Fourth Amendment protections. Though the act allows the government to use drones, the manner of use must comport with constitutional privacy protections. This act is effective July 1, 2021.

For convenience, we have included copies of the legislation referenced in this memorandum. We request that you include this memorandum as part of the agenda packages for upcoming meetings of the governing boards of those special districts in which you serve as the District Manager and this firm serves as District Counsel. For purposes of the agenda package, it is not necessary to include the attached legislation, as we can provide copies to anyone requesting the same. Copies of the referenced legislation are also accessible by visiting this link: http://laws.flrules.org/.
