District Manager Action Items

OM 1 - Consider Resolution No. 2020-02 - Adopting a Fiscal Year 2021 Proposed Annual Budget and Setting a Public Hearing Date

Resolution No. 2020-02 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2020-02

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE ST. LUCIE WEST SERVICES DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021.

A MOTION was made by Supervisor Child, seconded by Vice Chairman Ney and passed unanimously approving Resolution No. 2020-02, setting the Public Hearing for September 1, 2020.

OM 2 - Other Items/Updates

Mr. Pickle advised that the District goes through the expense of controlling midge flies when it is not a requirement. He asked the Board if they wanted to continue doing so. He noted that it was an expensive practice with Mr. Hayden noting that midge fly control for one lake could cost $30,000.

A brief discussion ensued after which there was a Board consensus to discontinue the practice, unless directed otherwise. Mr. Pickle advised that the District would monitor the midge flies and advise if they become problematic.

Mr. Pickle indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of a lockdown on commercial properties, the District would see a drop in revenue of approximately
$27,000 per month. He further indicated that they would monitor the revenue and expect a total loss of approximately $100,000, but that the rate stabilization fund would cover the loss and there would be no risk for the bonds.

That concluded Mr. Pickle's updates.
