Receive Public Comment on Revised Rules of Procedure

Mr. Haber briefly reviewed the proposed revisions, noting that the Rules of Procedure were periodically updated primarily to remain consistent with changes in Florida law. The Board requested a redline version identifying the changes and, where practical, the reason for each revision.

Consider Resolution No. 2026-03 – Adopting Revised Rules of Procedure

Resolution No. 2026-03 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2026-03

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ADOPTING RULES OF PROCEDURE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Receive Public Comment on Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Final Budget

Discussion ensued regarding the proposed budget, litigation and engineering expenses, reserves and the anticipated reduction in assessments. It was noted that the proposed assessments represented a reduction of approximately $295 per property from the prior year.

Consider Resolution No. 2026-04 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Final Budget

Resolution No. 2026-04 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2026-04
[FY 2026/2027 APPROPRIATION RESOLUTION]

THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION RESOLUTION OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (“DISTRICT”) RELATING TO THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS AND ADOPTING THE BUDGET(S) FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2026, AND ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2027; AUTHORIZING BUDGET AMENDMENTS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The Board reviewed the projected interest income and the principal and interest amounts associated with the District’s line of credit. It was noted that actual interest earnings were substantially higher than the amount budgeted and that the line of credit principal and interest amounts should be adjusted to reflect the actual amount borrowed and applicable interest rate. The Board agreed to increase projected interest income, reduce the budgeted line of credit principal and interest payments, and place the resulting funds into reserves.
A motion was made by Mr. Bello, seconded by Mr. Vette and passed unanimously approving the revisions to interest income and the line of credit principal and interest amounts, with the resulting funds to be placed into reserves.

The Board also reviewed the remaining prior year deficit funding line item. It was noted that assessments had previously been increased to address the deficit and that current year expenditures were not anticipated to exceed the budget. The Board agreed to eliminate the approximately $41,000 deficit funding line item and place those funds into reserves rather than further reduce assessments, given the pending litigation and potential lake bank expenditures.
A motion was made by Mr. Langer, seconded by Mr. Bello and passed unanimously the Board adopting Resolution No. 2026-04, Adopting a Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Final Budget, as amended above.
Consider Resolution No. 2026-05 – Assessment Resolution for Fiscal Year 2026/2027

Mr. Haber briefly reviewed the Assessment Resolution, which levies the assessments necessary to fund the adopted budget and certifies the assessment roll for collection.
A motion was made by Mr. Vette, seconded by Mr. Langer and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2026-05, adopting a Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Final Budget, as presented.
The Public Hearing on the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Final Budget was then closed and Regular Board Meeting was reconvened.

NEW BUSINESS
Status of Litigation/Mediation Meeting

Brian Cross provided an update on the pending lake bank litigation and advised that the court ordered mediation was scheduled for September 16, 2026. He explained that construction defect litigation was heavily dependent upon engineering opinions and expert testimony and that there were a number of factors to consider in determining the appropriate repair and the amount potentially recoverable from the defendants.
Mr. Cross discussed the need to balance the cost of continued litigation against the potential recovery and the ultimate cost of repairing and stabilizing the shoreline. He noted that the Board was evaluating whether work should be limited to failed portions of the wall or whether additional improvements to unaffected areas would be appropriate. No decision regarding the ultimate scope of the project has been made.
Mr. Cross also responded to questions regarding potential exposure to the opposing parties’ attorney fees, settlement procedures, warranty claims and the relationship between the District’s litigation and other litigation involving neighboring communities. He advised that the District’s litigation was separate

from WildBlue’s litigation. He further explained that, if mediation was unsuccessful, the case was presently anticipated to proceed to non-binding arbitration, followed potentially by trial.

Update on Gurley Fant Invoice Review

Mr. Vette provided an update on his review of Gurley Fant’s invoices and thanked Andy Langsam for assisting with the detailed review. Mr. Vette reported that he had discussed questioned charges with Gurley Fant and that approximately $6,000 in charges had been removed or adjusted. Additional charges remained under review, including billing rates, charges associated with the preparation of future budget estimates and other entries for which clarification had been requested.
Discussion ensued regarding the outstanding invoices and the most cost effective means of resolving the dispute. Mr. Cross recommended that the invoices and supporting correspondence be provided to him so that he can review the matter and attempt to negotiate a business resolution with Gurley Fant without unnecessarily increasing the District’s legal expenses.
A motion was made by Mr. Vette, seconded by Mr. Marsjanik and passed unanimously authorizing Brian Cross to review the outstanding Gurley Fant invoices in his attempt to resolve the billing dispute.

Taylor Engineering Invoice Review

Mr. Vette raised concerns regarding approximately $17,000 in Taylor Engineering invoices for work performed from March through June in connection with the litigation.
Because the engineering work and invoices were related to the pending litigation, the Board agreed to table further discussion until after consultation with litigation counsel. No action was taken on this matter at this time.
Update on Cummins Cederberg Phase 2 Options

Jordan Cheifet and Stokes Patterson of Cummins Cederberg presented the results of the Phase 2 shoreline evaluation. The shoreline was categorized as sheltered, vulnerable, and vulnerable with a narrow shelf, based upon exposure to wave action, existing seawall conditions and shelf width. They explained the unique engineering challenges associated with Blue Lake as a former quarry and reviewed the potential effects of shoreline erosion, toe scour and wave action on the existing seawall.
Cummins Cederberg reviewed various stabilization alternatives and compared the options based upon level of protection, cost, aesthetics, constructability and maintenance requirements. The recommended approach included plantings and monitoring in sheltered areas, metal mattresses in vulnerable areas, and the Phase 1 treatment in vulnerable areas with narrow shelves. Preliminary costs and recommendations for ongoing shoreline monitoring and periodic inspections were also reviewed.
Discussion ensued regarding the alternatives, costs, aesthetics, construction access and level of protection. The Board agreed that additional time was needed to review the information before determining the appropriate Phase 2 approach. Ms. Meneely stated that the entire detailed Cummins Cederberg presentation would be posted to the District’s website for public review.
No action was taken on this matter at this time.

Consider Agreement between the District and Premier Lakes, Inc. for Annual Lake Management

Mr. Haber reviewed the revised agreement and noted that the District’s form provided additional protections regarding insurance, indemnification and termination of the agreement.
A motion was made by Mr. Langer, seconded by Mr. Bello and passed unanimously approving the Agreement between the District and Premier Lakes, Inc. for Annual Lake Management, as presented.
Consider Resolution No. 2026-06 – Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Meeting Schedule

Resolution No. 2026-06 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-06
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, ESTABLISHING A REGULAR MEETING SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/2027 AND SETTING THE TIME AND LOCATION OF SAID DISTRICT MEETINGS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Board reviewed the proposed meeting schedule and discussed conflicts associated with the Thanksgiving, Christmas and Memorial Day holiday periods. The schedule was amended changing the November meeting to November 18, 2026, the December meeting to December 17, 2026, and the May meeting to May 19, 2027, all at 3:00 p.m., subject to room availability. All other dates remained as presented.
A motion was made by Mr. Vette, seconded by Mr. Langer and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2026-06, approving the Fiscal Year 2026/2027 Meeting Schedule, as amended.

Ms. Meneely advised that an attorney-client session would be held in conjunction with the September 22, 2026, meeting following the September 16, 2026, mediation. The attorney-client session would begin at 3:00 p.m. with the regular meeting to follow.
Ms. Meneely also advised that notice seeking candidates to fill the vacant Board seat had been prepared. Given the litigation matters expected to be addressed in September, the Board agreed to defer consideration of filling the vacancy until the October meeting.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

There were no additional public comments.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

Mr. Langer reported that he and Patti Langer had met with representatives of Florida Gulf Coast University regarding an opportunity for students to evaluate the community’s lake, vegetation and water-quality management.
