Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one- resulting from- error, as fraud- may. involve- collusion, forgery, intentional. omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Required Supplementary Information  -2-    Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary. information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion  or provide any assurance.  Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards  In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 30,2024, on our consideration of the Town's internal control over: financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, rules, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing ofi internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.

FINANCIAL: HIGHLIGHTS  The following are the highlights of financial activity in government wide financials for the year ended September 30, 2023. The Town's total revenues were $510,768, which includes $248,774 from taxes, $107,782 from charges from services and $102,169 from intergovernmental activity. During the year, the Town had expenses of $860,711 for governmental activities, which included $312,680 in expenditures for Phase I and Phase II of the Sewer Project funded by the American Rescue Plan in the prior fiscal year. This was $349,943 more than the $510,768 generated in  revenue.  USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT  This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement ofl Net Position and Combined Balance Sheet (page 6) provide information about the activities of the Town as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Town's finances. Fund Financial Statements begin on page 6. For: governmental activities, these Statements tell how these services were financed- in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund Financial Statements also report the Town's operations in more detail by providing information about the Town's most  significant funds.  REPORTING THE TOWNASA A WHOLE  Our analysis of the Town as a whole begins on page 4. One of the most important questions asked about the Town's finances is, "Is the Town as a whole better off or worse off as a result of the year's activities?" The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information about the Town as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer this question. These Statements include all assets and liabilities using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used in most private-sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received  or paid.    These two Statements report the Town's net position and changes in them. You can think of the Town's net position - the difference between assets and liabilities = as one way to measure the Town's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the Town's net position, is one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating. You will need to consider other non-financial factors, however, such as changes in the Town's property tax base and the condition oft the Town's roads, equipment, and buildings to assess the  overall health of the Town. Governmental Activities  The change in net] position ofg governmental activities was ($352,337) As of September 30, 2023 the Town had no long-term debt.  Debt  THE TOWN'S. FUNDS Governmental Type Funds  As of year-end, the governmental funds (as presented on page 7) reported a combined fund balance of $510,856 which is a 41% decrease from the beginning of the year at $860,799. Several of the governmental fund expenditures are capital expenditures related and, therefore, may reflect capital expenditures (which are: reflected in the current financial resource-based Fund Financial Statements) as a spending of a portion of available net position or an increase in net position from unspent net position. The General Fund experienced a net decrease of $376,896. As of year-end, the special revenue fund (as presented on page 7) reported a fund balance of  Special Revenue Fund  $76,433 which is a 54% increase from the beginning ofthe year. GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS  An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the town pursuant tot the requirements of the Florida statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in the preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget is in the aggregate. Budget amendments must be approved. Actual general fund expenditures were higher than appropriations for the year ended September 30, 2023 by $53,604. This was funded with prior  year surpluses.

And, you're welcome to forward this.  This parcel has a Future Land Use designation of Commercial, but does not actually have a current Village Zoning Map designation because our maps have not been updated. The annexation ordinance states that it is "deemed to fall within the current Czoning district" which is General Community Commercial (C). See  attached.  The properties to the north and south are similarly zoned and the property to the east has no current Village zoning designation but does have Light Industrial land  use.  There is no associated planned development or special, restricted or overlay  district.  The current use of the property as a storage facility was contemplated in the annexation ordinance and has been permitted, subject to site plan review,  elsewhere in the Czoning district.  We have no record of any unresolved zoning, building code or violations; but, we  cannot say that there are none.  Note that the improvements were permitted prior to annexation of the property into the municipality SO the Village would not have reviewed the plans, issued a  certificate of occupancy, or have any record of the same.  1    Hope that this helps.

Igather that the basic point is to make our provision consistent with Section 468.604 of the Florida Statutes sO that the Building Official, rather than the Board of Aldermen, is issuing the permits. That being the case, is it consistent to still require (in the second paragraph) plan approval and signature by the Board of  Aldermen before a permit is issued?  Also, why not have Certificate of Zoning Compliance on residential? What ift the loti is nonconforming or someone is trying to build a second residence on a lot? lalso note that the LDC section on the Certificate of Zoning Compliance is not limited to commercial and vests the determination in the Building Official. One thought I had in that regard was that, ifthere's a question concerning the application of the Land Development Code/Zoning requirements, do you need the possible "out" of deferring to a Board interpretation. Or authority to seek and Finally, how does this interact with Section 553.792 on the timeframe for approving or denying a building permit? While we're looking at 468.604, should we be trying to revise the permit section to allow you to issue permits quickly unless there's a question about zoning compliance?

Neill,Jr. Melrenelsrtin.om", 'Ann & Paul Sinnott' psinnotto@rmallcom> Subject: RE: Resolving the! St. Lucie School property boundary: and waste and yard debris issues  Richard,  Itv would have been good for the School Board to make specific recommendations, but perhaps that is not necessary. In my opinion, I believe that the following assertions might amicably resolve the issues brought  up by the School Board:  1.After your and my discussion with surveyor Alex Piazza, there does not appear to be a legitimate property boundary dispute along the north boundary of the St. Lucie School. The only indication that there might have been a dispute was the old plat obtained by Mr. Houston. I don't know ift that plat was ever recorded, but Ihave not seen any property legal description or survey that shows the 10' intrusion of Mr. Houston's property into the school road as indicated on the plat. All surveys and legal descriptions that Thave seen appear to confirm the boundary shown on our survey of the school. Unless someone produces legally acceptable documents indicating the boundary of Mr. Houston's S property extends south into the school road as shown on the plat, there appears to be no reason to address this issue further. Based on that recent discussion with Mr. Piazza (who had seemed less definite last year), and the facts that our boundary was established before the plat and  that the line in question is not part of that recorded plat, lagree.  2.The concept ofi issuing an easement over the school road for ingress and egress to Mr. Houston's property was only brought up to resolve the perceived property boundary dispute. Ifthere is no property boundary dispute, there does not appear to be a reason to issue an access easement to Mr. Houston'sp property. lagree with the conclusion that we don't need to address the agreed boundary and easement concept based on what we know. But, a benefit of doing an easement would be to define and limit any rights those owners to the north have, like use or non-use of the easement area for garbage and yard waste, and terms thereof-so there would be agreed rules, in writing. Ithink we can set rules for school property (which includes the access road). without granting an easement.  5    am sure any state statute that assures access Mr. Houston's access to his property viai the: school road would not allow placement of things on the road that would block access for all.  3.There does not appear to be any need to address trimming the trees on Mr. Houston's property. Mr. Houston certainly has the right to trim his own trees and shrubs. State law gives the Village. the right to trim trees or shrubs overhanging the property line ifthey are not properly maintained by Mr. Houston, and particularly if they are causing problems on the Village side oft the property line. It would be courteous for the Village Marshal to let Mr. Houston know if his overhanging trees and shrubs need to be trimmed and allow him adequate time to do that. Ifthet trees and shrubs are not trimmed in a reasonable amount oft time, the' Village has the right to trim them. lagree but, to be clear, as aj property owner, we would have the right to trim back to our property line without reason. What I don't seei is the need to do so, legally or practically. Ido think the property owners a reasonable time to doi it themselves is very appropriate. After our onsite meeting with Mr. Houston, I think it is reasonable to require keeping the vegetation on the north side of the road trimmed back tot the north edge of pavement. Mr. Houston seemed agreeable to that at our meeting, and that would establish a definitive line fori trimming. would not be in favor oft trimming back to the property line, because that would eliminate all or most of that vegetation, leaving al bare fence.  Some vegetation in front of the fence is better aesthetically, in my opinion.  4.Waste Pro has stated that they will not pick up yard waste piles that require a clam truck ini the vicinity oft the concrete pad near the northwest bend in the school road because oft the overhanging trees and the power lines above them. They said that those piles must be placed in the Old Dixie Highway right-of-way where the clam truck can access them. It would make sense to not allow placement of yard waste on the school property, since large piles can potentially interfere with traffic on the school road and Waste Pro wants them out on the Old Dixie right-of-way anyway. Small piles or waste in cans can be easily transported to the Old Dixie right-of-way. This is consistent with yard waste pickup all along Old Dixie and should not be burdensome to residents on the north side of the school property. Idon'tthink that it's unreasonable to say that yard waste, including non-clam truck piles, should go on Old Dixie. don'ti think that we have to allow it on our property. Ihave to expect that there will be complaints about any piles on Old Dixie as well. Requiring all yard waste to be placed out oni the Old Dixie right-of-way will not affect Fred Moore. He places his waste on his property, not on the: school property. He also has the option of putting it in the Old Dixie right-of- way. If Waste Pro is willing to pick it up on his property, that should not be a problem.  5.Residents on1 the north side of the school property should not place their trash and recycling containers in the school road where they obstruct traffic. lagree. Do we ask them to put them on Old Dixie? One problem is that this doesn't address the fuss where the can was properly placed when set out but moved by the garbagemen; but, Id don't! know that there's anything to do about that. Ido not think we should require the waste cans to be placed out on Old Dixie. Mr Houston has plenty of room ati the east end of his property to place the cans ont the north side of the road in front of his  fence. Waste Pro will cooperate with us on not placing empty cans in the road.  6    6.Considering thei intensity and frequency of past conflicts between school volunteers and Mr. Houston, all communication between the two parties should be through the Town Marshal. That seems reasonable and a good way to handle itifthe parties will do that. There may bei issues where he can't resolve a disagreement and, ifs so, he would bring it to the Board? Once we establish a set of rules for use of school property that is accepted by the School Board and the Board of Aldermen, would expect all parties to comply. Infractions or disputes should be brought to the Board of Aldermen. Can the code enforcement process be used to enforce placement of yard waste and waste cans? What part(s) or the code would apply (LDC, Nuisance Ordinance, etc.)?  What are your thoughts?

The last attachment is my current draft agenda, still needs some work, but shows whatl  think is lined up or potentially lined up.

Should Ifollow up and ask that the School Board make a recommendation on what should be done?

Since this is FPUA's document, it would seem best if they redraft this to suit our situation, i.e., contributing Capital Improvement Charges to the Village's grant-funded sewer project. Ithink it would be best to include all three phases because CICS will apply to all connections and Josh and Bo - What do you think? Can it be this "generic", or should we just focus on a grant-funded Phase 1  there does not appear tol be a need to break out phases.  forr now?
