Mr. Oliver responded that there were none that qualified to run for office through the Supervisor of Elections office.

Comments
A resident asked for confirmation if the increase in assessments is 6% for Del Webb residents. Mr. Oliver responded that is correct.
Next, the resident asked how the 6% increase relates to the current rate of inflation. Mr. Oliver responded that this budget is not tied to the rate of inflation so budget as it is the capital reserve report.
A resident asked if the Board has any ability to fine residents that have been found responsible for unauthorized access to the facilities. Mr. Oliver responded that the District does not have the ability to issue fines, but it can request restitution if damage is caused and it can also suspend amenity privileges.
Next, the resident asked how the roving security would work. Mr. Oliver responded that the CDD’s funds can only be used for CDD property, so they will not go in and out of the various neighborhoods. Mr. Muhl added that the Board still needs to discuss specifics.
A resident asked if the $100,000 included in the capital reserve budget is a one-time fee to get the budget started. Mr. Oliver responded that for this year, $120,000 was the recommended amount to be put into the reserves. There will be a gradual increase in the amount set aside each year.
