OLD BUSINESS

Update Regarding Installation of Cameras Throughout the District - Internet

Mr. Silva informed the Board that the cameras throughout the District had been installed but they are having issues obtaining an internet provider that has high enough download/upload speeds that would allow multiple users to access the cameras at the same time. District Field Ops staff has contacted

AT&T and the monthly cost of providing fiber optic internet would be about $650 per month. Field Ops Staff will be contacting Xfinity to see what the cost would be for fiber optic internet to the area.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Resolution No. 2024-01 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Proposed

Mr. Silva presented Resolution No. 2024-01, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2024-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE TREE ISLAND ESTATES COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET AND NON-AD VALOREM SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/2024; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mr. Silva read the tile of the resolution into the record and provided a brief overview of the proposed budget. Mr. Silva stated that the overall assessment for the fiscal year 2023/2024 would remain the same as the fiscal year 2022/2023 assessment, so letters to residents would not be required. A discussion ensued after which;

A MOTION was made by Mr. Morrison, seconded by Ms. Delrio and unanimously passed to approve and adopt Resolution No. 2024-01, as amended, increasing the Security Camera Maintenance/Internet line item to $7,000 and decreasing the Maintenance Contingency line item to $5,500; thus setting the public hearing to adopt the 2024/2025 Fiscal Year Final Budget and Assessments for June 25, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in the Kendall Executive Center located at 8785 SW 165th Avenue, Suite 200, Miami, Florida 33193.

Discussion Regarding Required Ethics Training
Mr. Silva presented a memorandum from SDS, Inc. which will serve as a reminder that beginning January 1, 2024, elected and appointed commissioners of community redevelopment agencies and local officers of independent special districts are required to complete four (4) hours of ethics training annually. The training must address, at a minimum, s. 8, Art. II of the Florida Constitution (ethics for public officers and financial disclosure), the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees, and the Florida Public Records Law and Open Meetings laws.

Enforcement of County “No Parking” Signs

Mr. Silva informed the Board that illegal parking within the swale areas near the lake bank should be reported to Miami-Dade County. The District does not have jurisdiction over the aforementioned area so the District cannot enforce any parking rules.

Discussion Regarding Cracked Sidewalks

Mr. Silva informed the Board that the sidewalks within the District are owned by Miami-Dade County and that any cracked/lifted sidewalks should be reported to Miami-Dade County 3-1-1.
