The Board discussed proposals for replacement litigation counsel following Gurley Fant's withdrawal.

A motion was made by Mr. Bello, seconded by Mr. Vette and unanimously passed approving the engagement of Goede, DeBoest & Cross as the District's new litigation counsel, including the required
$10,000 retainer.

Consider Proposals for Lake & Detention Maintenance & Fence Treatment

Michael Langer reported that he had met with the firms and believed Premier Lakes offered the strongest combination of experience and cost effectiveness. Bill Kurth, Vice President of Premier Lakes, reviewed his 43 years of lake management experience, including prior management of the lakes within WildBlue and Blue Lake. He explained that Premier Lakes' initial focus would include improving the health of the littoral plantings, which help stabilize the shoreline and reduce future erosion, and addressing torpedo grass while lake levels allowed for more effective treatment. The Board approved Premier Lakes for lake, detention and fence maintenance.

OLD BUSINESS
Lake Bank Project Update

The Board received an update on the lake bank restoration project. Staff reported that work continued to move forward with coordination among the District's engineer, contractors, and legal counsel. Discussion included the status of permitting, project sequencing, shoreline stabilization efforts, and coordination with Lennar regarding the remaining responsibilities. The Board emphasized the importance of maintaining project momentum while continuing to monitor costs and construction progress.
Update on Line of Credit Payment & Other Budget Considerations

Manager Meneely provided a brief update on the District’s line of credit, advising that Seacoast Bank was reviewing a modification that would spread repayment of the amount currently drawn over the remaining term of the note. Discussion then focused on the proposed FY 2027 budget and the upcoming budget public hearing. The Board discussed the $400,000 currently budgeted for litigation expenses in light of the change in litigation counsel and noted that the amount could be reduced at the public hearing if additional information supported doing so, but could not be increased. The Board also discussed the availability of unspent current-year litigation funds, anticipated costs associated with the lake bank repairs, and the need to consider those factors together as the budget is finalized. The Board agreed to maintain the proposed budget as currently presented pending additional information prior to the public hearing. No formal action was taken.

ATTEST:	BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

Secretary/Assistant Secretary	Chair/Vice Chair, Board of Supervisors

Exhibit A:	Rules of Procedure

Summary of Revisions to Rules of Procedure

Board governance rules were revised to add an express mandatory-voting provision
A present board member may not abstain from an official act except where a conflict exists or appears to exist under the cited ethics laws.

Expansion of public meeting notice requirements
Revise the standard for what qualifies as a newspaper of general circulation, tie annual meeting notices to Chapter 50 standards, and add a requirement to post the date, time, and place of each meeting, hearing, or workshop on the district website at least seven days in advance.

Broadening of budget amendment authority
Currently, the annual budget can be amended only by board action; the revised rules also permit amendment as provided in the resolution approving the budget.
Substantial overhaul of rulemaking procedures
The current rules contain a shorter process focused on notice, hearings, petitions, emergency rules, and challenges; the revised rules add detailed standards for what a rule must contain, statements of estimated regulatory costs, expanded notice content, timing rules, rule corrections and substantive changes, withdrawal procedures, website postings, rulemaking records, and more detailed challenge procedures.

Addition of formal procedures for withdrawal and correction of rules
These include withdrawal if adoption deadlines are missed, publication of withdrawal notices, quarterly website postings for delayed rulemaking notices, and a revised multi-year review process for existing rules with annual reports and completion deadlines.

Expansion of emergency rule procedures
The revised rules require website posting, specify required contents of emergency notices, set rules for duration and renewal, permit superseding emergency rules, allow technical corrections, and provide a repeal notice process.

Expansion of challenges to rules and post-protest review rights
The revised rules add more detailed deadlines and burdens for rule challenges and expressly provide for judicial review of final protest decisions in the county where the district is located.
Broadening of auditor-selection procedures
The revised rules expressly allow the district, for audits required under Chapter 189 but not meeting Chapter 218 thresholds, to proceed outside the formal auditor-selection procedures; they also expressly allow proposals to be submitted electronically or by hard copy and clarify that proposals need not be publicly opened at the submission deadline.

Modernization of notice and award procedures allowing electronic and website-based notice Across consultant selection, auditor selection, prequalification, construction, design-build, goods, and maintenance services, the revised rules permit notice by e-mail with delivery/read receipt and, if authorized in the solicitation, website posting of intent-to-award notices.

Revisions to construction and purchasing provisions
The revised rules refer more consistently to counties rather than a single county or the district, and to allow e-mail notice in place of facsimile in several procurement steps. This change affects solicitation publication and direct notice procedures across prequalification, construction, design-build, goods, and maintenance procurement.

Tightening of bonding requirements for public works contracts
The current rule states that the board “should require” a payment and performance bond for covered contracts over $200,000; the revised rule states that the board “shall require” such bond or other acceptable surety.

RESOLUTION 2026-05
[FY 2026/2027 ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION]

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT PROVIDING FOR FUNDING FOR THE FY 2026/2027 ADOPTED BUDGET(S); PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PENALTIES AND INTEREST THEREON; CERTIFYING AN ASSESSMENT ROLL; PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENTS TO THE ASSESSMENT ROLL; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, the Blue Lake Community Development District (“District”) is a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, for the purpose of providing, operating and maintaining infrastructure improvements, facilities and services to the lands within the District, located in Lee County, Florida (“County”); and
WHEREAS, the District has constructed or acquired various infrastructure improvements and provides certain services in accordance with the District’s adopted capital improvement plan and Chapter 190, Florida Statutes; and

WHEREAS, for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2026, and ending September 30, 2027 (“FY 2026/2027”), the Board of Supervisors (“Board”) of the District has determined to undertake various operations and maintenance and other activities described in the District’s budget (“Adopted Budget”), attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, the District may fund the Adopted Budget through the levy and imposition of special assessments on benefitted lands within the District and, regardless of the imposition method utilized by the District, under Florida law the District may collect such assessments by direct bill, tax roll, or in accordance with other collection measures provided by law; and

WHEREAS, in order to fund the District’s Adopted Budget, the District’s Board now desires to adopt this Resolution setting forth the means by which the District intends to fund its Adopted Budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT:
FUNDING. The District’s Board hereby authorizes the funding mechanisms for the Adopted Budget as provided further herein and as indicated in the Adopted Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A and the assessment roll attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Assessment Roll”).

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS.
Benefit Findings. The provision of the services, facilities, and operations as described in Exhibit A confers a special and peculiar benefit to the lands within the District, which benefit exceeds or equals the cost of the assessments. The allocation of the assessments to the specially benefitted lands is shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B and is hereby found to be fair and reasonable.

O&M Assessment Imposition. Pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, a special assessment for operations and maintenance (“O&M Assessment(s)”) is hereby levied and imposed on benefitted lands within the District and in accordance with Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The lien of the O&M Assessments imposed and levied by this Resolution shall be effective upon passage of this Resolution.
Maximum Rate. Pursuant to Section 197.3632(4), Florida Statutes, the lien amount shall serve as the “maximum rate” authorized by law for operation and maintenance assessments.

DEBT SERVICE SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. The District’s Board hereby certifies for collection the FY 2026/2027 installment of the District’s previously levied debt service special assessments (“Debt Assessments,” and together with the O&M Assessments, the “Assessments”) in accordance with this Resolution and as further set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, and hereby directs District staff to affect the collection of the same.
COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT; PENALTIES; INTEREST.  Pursuant to Chapter 190,
Florida Statutes, the District is authorized to collect and enforce the Assessments as set forth below.

Tax Roll Assessments. To the extent indicated in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, those certain O&M Assessments (if any) and/or Debt Assessments (if any) imposed on the “Tax Roll Property” identified in Exhibit B shall be collected by the County Tax Collector at the same time and in the same manner as County property taxes in accordance with Chapter 197, Florida Statutes (“Uniform Method”). That portion of the Assessment Roll which includes the Tax Roll Property is hereby certified to the County Tax Collector and shall be collected by the County Tax Collector in the same manner and time as County property taxes. The District’s Board finds and determines that such collection method is an efficient method of collection for the Tax Roll Property.
Future Collection Methods. The District’s decision to collect Assessments by any particular method – e.g., on the tax roll or by direct bill – does not mean that such method will be used to collect special assessments in future years, and the District reserves the right in its sole discretion to select collection methods in any given year, regardless of past practices.

ASSESSMENT ROLL; AMENDMENTS. The Assessment Roll, attached hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby certified for collection. The Assessment Roll shall be collected pursuant to the collection methods provided above. The proceeds therefrom shall be paid to the District. The District Manager shall keep apprised of all updates made to the County property roll by the Property Appraiser after the date of this Resolution and shall amend the Assessment Roll in accordance with any such updates, for such time as authorized by Florida law, to the County property roll.

APPROVAL OF PRIOR ACTIONS. The actions of the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretaries, and all District Staff in finalizing the Assessments and Assessment Roll as provided herein are hereby ratified, approved, and confirmed in all respects.

SEVERABILITY; EFFECTIVE DATE. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Resolution shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Resolution, or any part thereof. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

Worker’s Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

Commercial General Liability Insurance covering the Contractor’s legal liability for bodily injuries, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit bodily injury and property damage liability, and covering at least the following hazards:

Independent Contractors Coverage for bodily injury and property damage in connection with any subcontractors’ operation.

Employer’s Liability Coverage with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per accident or disease.

Automobile Liability Insurance for bodily injuries in limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit bodily injury and for property damage, providing coverage for any accident arising out of or resulting from the operation, maintenance, or use by the Contractor of any owned, non-owned, or hired automobiles, trailers, or other equipment required to be licensed.
The District, its staff, consultants and supervisors shall be named as additional insured. The Contractor shall furnish the District with the Certificate of Insurance evidencing compliance with this requirement.

If the Contractor fails to have secured and maintained the required insurance, the District has the right but not the obligation to secure such required insurance in which event the Contractor shall pay the cost for that required insurance and shall furnish, upon demand, all information that may be required in connection with the District’s obtaining the required insurance.

Section 7.	Indemnification.

Contractor agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the District and its officers, agents, employees, successors, assigns, members, affiliates, or representatives from any and all liability, claims, actions, suits, liens, demands, costs, interest, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, judgments against the District, or loss or damage, whether monetary or otherwise, arising

out of, wholly or in part by, or in connection with the Services to be performed by Contractor, its subcontractors, its employees and agents in connection with this Agreement, including litigation, mediation, arbitration, appellate, or settlement proceedings with respect thereto. Additionally, nothing in this Agreement requires Contractor to indemnify the District for the District’s percentage of fault if the District is adjudged to be more than 50% at fault for any claims against the District and Contractor as jointly liable parties; however, Contractor shall indemnify the District for any and all percentage of fault attributable to Contractor for claims against the District, regardless whether the District is adjudged to be more or less than 50% at fault.

Obligations under this section shall include the payment of all settlements, judgments, damages, liquidated damages, penalties, forfeitures, back pay awards, court costs, arbitration and/or mediation costs, litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees, paralegal fees, expert witness fees (incurred in court, out of court, on appeal, or in bankruptcy proceedings), any interest, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, or judgments against the District.

Section 8. Limitations on Governmental Liability. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed as a waiver of the District’s sovereign immunity or the District’s limits of liability as set forth in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, or other statute, and nothing in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any third party for the purpose of allowing any claim which would otherwise be barred under such limitations of liability or by operation of law.
