There being no changes, a motion was made by Ms. Mastrodomenico, seconded by Ms. Conde-Matos and unanimously passed approving the minutes of the November 9, 2021, Special Board Meeting, as presented.

OLD BUSINESS
Update Regarding Tree Removal (Roots Causing Damage)

Mr. Silva presented an email he received from a District resident which stated that his driveway pavers and sidewalk were lifting due to the roots intrusion from an adjacent tree. The adjacent tree lies within District property and the resident is asking the District to address this concern by trimming the roots or removing the tree. Mr. Silva stated that there are several trees within the District that are causing the

same issue throughout the District and should be either removed or have the roots trimmed prior to causing greater damage. A discussion ensued after which the board directed Mr. Silva to obtain proposals for root trimming and removal of trees so that they could compare the options during the next meeting.

Update Regarding Irrigation System Repairs

Mr. Silva informed the Board that the irrigation repairs of Clock A (irrigation system that services the east side of the District) are at about 80% completed. Mr. Silva expects the repairs for Clock A to be completed before the next meeting. As soon as that Clock is functioning, they will move on to Clock B which services the west side of the community.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Resolution No. 2022-01 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Proposed Annual Budget

Mr. Silva presented Resolution No. 2022-01, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE CENTURY GARDENS VILLAGE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022/2023; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mr. Silva provided a brief explanation for the resolution and stated that the proposed fiscal year 2022/2023 budget had been balanced with no carryover of the projected fund balance on September 30, 2022. In addition, Mr. Silva advised that since the overall proposed assessments were not increasing in the fiscal year 2022/2023, letters to residents would not be required. Mr. Silva also stated that as part of Resolution No. 2022-01, the Board must set a date for the public hearing to adopt the 2022/2023 final fiscal year budget and assessments. A discussion ensued after which:

A motion was made by Ms. Mastrodomenico, seconded by Ms. Conde-Matos and unanimously passed approving and adopting Resolution No. 2022-01, as presented, setting the public hearing to adopt the 2022/2023 Fiscal Year budget and assessments for June 2, 2022, at 6:30 p.m. in the Kendall Executive Center located at 8785 SW 165th Avenue, Suite 200, Miami, Florida 33193.

Discussion Regarding Parking Enforcement

Mr. Silva reminded the Board that on November 26, 2018, the District Board adopted Parking Rules which were to be enforced as of that date. The District entered into a Parking Enforcement Agreement between the District and Century Gardens Village Homeowners Association, Inc. (the “HOA”) which granted the HOA the right to enforce the Parking Rules on behalf of the District.

Mr. Silva has received comments from residents and Board members stating that the Parking Rules are not being enforced by the HOA and that they would like for the District to possibly take back control. Mr. Silva stated that if the District is to start enforcing the Parking Rules, then they would have to terminate the current Parking Enforcement Agreement with the HOA and then would have to engage a Parking Enforcement company to assist with the enforcement of the Parking Rules. A discussion ensued

after which Ms. Diaz (on behalf of the HOA) stated that she would talk to the HOA so that they could start enforcing the Parking Rules again.

Discussion Regarding Driveway Approach Expansion

Mr. Silva stated that he has received several correspondences from residents in the District who wish to expand the driveway approach for their home and want direction from the District on the type of material can be used and specifications for the potential expansion. A discussion ensued after which the Board consensus was the following:

Property owner must send a correspondence to the District providing specifications on the driveway expansion project.
Only concrete can be used for the expansion of driveway approaches (no turf block, turf, pavers, etc.)
Total removal of grassed swale is not allowed. Only situation where this might be allowed is if there is a catch basin adjacent to the driveway approach.
The property owner will be responsible for maintenance of the driveway approach.

ADMINISTRATIVE & OPERATIONAL MATTERS

There were no administrative & operational matters.

BOARD MEMBER & STAFF CLOSING COMMENTS

There were no board member & staff closing comments.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Ms. Mastrodomenico, seconded by Ms. Diaz and unanimously passed to adjourn the Regular Board Meeting at 7:45 p.m.
