(800) 299-4728 Fax (561) 994-5823 www.graucpa.com INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Supervisors Ridge at Apopka Community Development District City of Apopka, Florida Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Ridge at Apopka Community Development District, City of Apopka, Florida (“District”) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of September 30, 2023, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The District’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. 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 GAAS 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. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. 2 In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information 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 Information Included in the Financial Report Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial report. The other information comprises the information for compliance with FL Statute 218.39 (3) (c) but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 22, 2024, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. May 22, 2024 3 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of Ridge at Apopka Community Development District, City of Apopka, Florida (“District”) provides a narrative overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s Independent Auditor’s Report, basic financial statements, accompanying notes and supplementary information to the basic financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The liabilities of the District exceeded its assets at the close of the most recent fiscal year resulting in a net position deficit balance of ($571,514). • The change in the District’s total net position in comparison with the prior fiscal year was $212,718, an increase. The key components of the District’s net position and change in net position are reflected in the table in the government-wide financial analysis section • At September 30, 2023, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $2,217,980, a decrease of ($7,991,402) in comparison with the prior fiscal year. The total fund balance is restricted for debt service and capital projects, non-spendable for prepaid items, and the remainder is unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the District’s discretion. OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as the introduction to the District’s basic financial statements. The District’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) governmentwide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the residual amount being reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. The government-wide financial statements include all governmental activities that are principally supported by Developer contributions. The District does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activities of the District include the general government function. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements The District has one fund category: governmental funds. 4 OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a District’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the District’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The District maintains three governmental funds for external reporting. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service fund and capital projects fund, which are considered major funds. The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the case of the District, liabilities exceeded assets at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Key components of the District’s net position are reflected in the following table: 2023 2022 Current and other assets $ 4,764,505 $ 11,853,091 Capital assets, net of depreciation 13,528,762 2,186,791 Total assets 18,293,267 1 4,039,882 Current liabilities 2,859,781 1,889,114 Long-term liabilities 16,005,000 1 2,935,000 Total liabilities 18,864,781 1 4,824,114 Net position Net investment in capital assets (1,683,833) (1,709,386) Restricted 1,089,235 922,140 Unrestricted 2 3,084 3 ,014 Total net position $ (571,514) $ (784,232) SEPTEMBER 30, NET POSITION The District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, land improvements, and infrastructure); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. 5 GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Continued) The restricted portion of the District’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the District’s other obligations. The District’s net position increased during the most recent fiscal year. The majority of the increase represents the extent to which ongoing program revenues exceeded the cost of operations. Key elements of the change in net position are reflected in the following table: 2023 2022 Revenues: Program revenues Charges for services $ 976,863 $ 85,904 Operating grants and contributions 37,484 1 ,729 Capital grants and contributions 254,043 7 ,504 Total revenues 1,268,390 95,137 Expenses: General government 80,729 79,753 Interest 709,125 248,419 Cost of Issuance 265,818 476,150 Total expenses 1,055,672 804,322 Change in net position 212,718 (709,185) Unrealized loss on investments - (68,896) Net position - beginning (784,232) (6,151) Net position - ending $ (571,514) $ (784,232) FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, CHANGES IN NET POSITION As noted above and in the statement of activities, the cost of all governmental activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 was $1,055,672. The costs of the District’s activities were partially funded by program revenues. Program revenues of the District are comprised primarily of assessments for the current fiscal year. In total, expenses, increased from the prior fiscal year. The majority of the increase was due to and increase in interest expense. GENERAL BUDGETING HIGHLIGHTS An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in 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. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Actual general fund expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION Capital Assets At September 30, 2023, the District had $13,528,762 invested in capital assets for its governmental activities. No depreciation has been taken in the current fiscal year as the District’s infrastructure and other capital assets are under construction. More detailed information about the District’s capital assets is presented in the notes of the financial statements. Capital Debt At September 30, 2023, the District had $16,005,000 in Bonds outstanding for its governmental activities. More detailed information about the District’s capital debt is presented in the notes of the financial statements. 6 ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND OTHER EVENTS For the subsequent fiscal year, the District anticipates that the cost of general operations will increase as the District is built out.

The Act provides among other things, the power to manage basic services for community development, power to borrow money and issue Bonds, and to levy and assess non-ad valorem assessments for the financing and delivery of capital infrastructure. The District was established for the purposes of financing and managing the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operation of a portion of the infrastructure necessary for community development within the District. The District is governed by the Board of Supervisors ("Board"), which is composed of four members. The Supervisors are elected on an at large basis by the owners of the property within the District. Ownership of land within the District entitles the owner to one vote per acre. The Board exercises all powers granted to the District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. All of the Board members are affiliated with Apopka Centerline Development LLC, the (“Developer”). The Board has the responsibility for: 1. Assessing and levying assessments. 2. Approving budgets. 3. Exercising control over facilities and properties. 4. Controlling the use of funds generated by the District. 5. Approving the hiring and firing of key personnel. 6. Financing improvements. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statements. Under the provisions of those standards, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, organizations for which the District Board of Supervisors is considered to be financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that, if excluded, the financial statements of the District would be considered incomplete or misleading. There are no entities considered to be component units of the District; therefore, the financial statements include only the operations of the District. NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment. Operating-type special assessments for maintenance and debt service are treated as charges for services; and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. 14 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are to be recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. Assessments Assessments are non-ad valorem assessments on certain land and all platted lots within the District. Assessments are levied each November 1 on property of record as of the previous January. The fiscal year for which annual assessments are levied begins on October 1 with discounts available for payments through February 28 and become delinquent on April 1. For debt service assessments, amounts collected as advance payments are used to prepay a portion of the Bonds outstanding. Otherwise, assessments are collected annually to provide funds for the debt service on the portion of the Bonds which are not paid with prepaid assessments. Assessments and interest associated with the current fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. The portion of assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. The District reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Debt Service Fund The debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the annual payment of principal and interest on long-term debt. Capital Projects Fund This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major infrastructure within the District. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources first for qualifying expenditures, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. 15 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity Restricted Assets These assets represent cash and investments set aside pursuant to Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. Deposits and Investments The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing). The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 (17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following: a) The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Inter-local Cooperation Act; b) Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency; c) Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Securities listed in paragraph c and d shall be invested to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. In addition, unspent Bond proceeds are required to be held in investments as specified in the Bond Indentures. The District records all interest revenue related to investment activities in the respective funds. Investments are measured at amortized cost or reported at fair value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital Assets Capital assets which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks and similar items) are reported in the government activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded) and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Unearned Revenue Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned. 16 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the Bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are reported as an expense in the year incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Fund Equity/Net Position In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. The District can establish limitations on the use of fund balance as follows: Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category. Assigned fund balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed. The Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover differences in estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Assignments are generally temporary and normally the same formal action need not be taken to remove the assignment. The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. Net position is the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position in the government-wide financial statements are categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets represents net position related to infrastructure and property, plant and equipment. Restricted net position represents the assets restricted by the District’s Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. Unrestricted net position consists of the net position not meeting the definition of either of the other two components. 17 NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Other Disclosures Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 – BUDGETARY INFORMATION The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. a) Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain public comments. c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board. d) All budget changes must be approved by the District Board. e) The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. f) Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS Deposits The District’s cash balances were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or by a collateral pool pledged to the State Treasurer. Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act", requires all qualified depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to various percentages of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally, U.S. Governmental and agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository's financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. Investments The District’s investments were held as follows at September 30, 2023: Amortized Cost Fair Value Credit Risk Maturities First American Government Obligations Fund - Class Y $ 1,402,651 $ - S&P AAAm Weighted average of the fund portfolio: 24 days US Treasury Notes- Various due dates - 3,116,396 Moodys Aaa 10/31/2023 to 2/29/2024 $ 1,402,651 $ 3,116,396 Custodial credit risk – For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the District will not be able to recover the value of the investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The District has no formal policy for custodial risk. The U.S. Treasury notes are held by the trustee or agent but not in the District’s name. The District has an unrealized gain on investments of $204,438 as of September 30, 2023. 18 NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (Continued) Credit risk – For investments, credit risk is generally the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investment ratings by investment type are included in the preceding summary of investments. Concentration risk – The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer. Interest rate risk – The District does not have a formal policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. However, the Bond Indentures limit the type of investments held using unspent proceeds. Fair Value Measurement – When applicable, the District measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established in accordance with GASB Statements. The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, in order of highest priority, as follows: • Level 1: Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical investments in active markets that the District has the ability to access; • Level 2: Investments whose inputs - other than quoted market prices - are observable either directly or indirectly; and, • Level 3: Investments whose inputs are unobservable. The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The District’s investments in the US Treasury Notes are considered Level 1.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. 25 Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. May 22, 2024 951 Yamato Road ? Suite 280 Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (561) 994-9299 ?

Management is responsible for District’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on District’s compliance based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the District complied, in all material respects, with the specified requirements referenced in Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether the District complied with the specified requirements. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the District’s compliance with specified requirements. We are required to be independent and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to the examination engagement. In our opinion, the District complied, in all material respects, with the aforementioned requirements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

SECTION VII SECTION A SECTION 1 Kutak Rock LLP 107 West College Avenue, Tallahassee, FL 32301-7707 office 850.692.7300 MEMORANDUM TO: District Managers and Secretaries FROM: Kutak Rock LLP DATE: March 25, 2024 RE: Public Records Recently, we have seen some confusion regarding who is the person ultimately responsible for the maintenance of a special district’s (“District”) public records and performing the associated duties. The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the roles of the person(s) responsible for maintaining public records. In addition, it provides a form and process for a) the District’s Secretary to designate a designee under section 119.011(5), Florida Statutes, and b) the Secretary to appoint a Records Management Liaison Officer under section 257.36(5)(a), Florida Statutes. It is important to note the distinction between the Secretary and the Records Management Liaison Officer. While the Records Management Liaison Officer has some duties related to public records, the Records Management Liaison Officer reports to the Secretary, and the Secretary has the ultimate responsibility for the District’s public records. Records Custodian Rule 1.1(2) of the standard Rules of Procedure provided by Kutak Rock provides that the Secretary is the District’s official Custodian of Public Records. The Secretary is often an employee of the district manager, but sometimes it can be a board member or another person. The definition of “Custodian of Public Records” in section 119.011(5), F.S., requires the Custodian of Public Records of a District to be an elected or appointed officer charged with the responsibility of maintaining the office having public records, or his or her designee. Because the Custodian of Public Records must be an elected or appointed officer, a district management company cannot be designated as a Custodian of Public Records. Further, should the Secretary designate someone else under section 119.011(5), F.S., such a designation may not relieve the Secretary of the statutory obligation and so such designations should be carefully considered. With that said, it may make sense for the Secretary to appoint a designee to be listed as the Custodian of Public Records in standard contract language designed to direct public records requests to the appropriate employee of the district manager. Records Management Liaison Officer Section 257.36(5)(a), Florida Statutes, requires a District to designate a “Records Management Liaison Officer.” The standard records retention resolution provided by Kutak Rock provides that the “Records Custodian,” as defined therein, appoints the Records Management Liaison Officer. Specifically, it provides: 2 SECTION 1. The District hereby authorizes the District’s records custodian to appoint a Records Management Liaison Officer and report such appointment to the appropriate State of Florida agencies. A Records Management Liaison Officer shall be an employee of the District or the District Manager. The Board, and the District’s records custodian, shall each have the individual power to remove the Records Management Liaison Officer at any time for any reason. Immediately following the removal or resignation of a Records Management Liaison Officer, the District’s records custodian shall appoint a replacement Records Management Liaison Officer. SECTION 2. The duties of the Records Management Liaison Officer shall include the following: A. serve as the District’s contact with the Florida Department of State, State Library and Archives of Florida; and B. coordinate the District’s records inventory; and C. maintain records retention and disposition forms; and D. coordinate District records management training; and E. develop records management procedures consistent with the below Records Retention Policy, as amended; and F. participate in the development of the District’s development of electronic record keeping systems; and G. submit annual compliance statements; and H. work with the Florida Department of State, State Library and Archives of Florida to establish individual retention schedules for the District, from time to time and as may be necessary; and I. such other duties as may be assigned by the Board or the District’s records custodian in the future. Form and Process Historically, there has not been a formal process to document the Secretary’s designation of a designee under section 119.011(5), F.S., or to document the Secretary’s appointment of a Records Management Liaison Officer to the Board. To remedy this, we have provided a simple form for the Secretary to complete which is attached as Exhibit A hereto. We recommend the following below process. Records Custodian 1. The Secretary identifies if there is a need to appoint a designee under section 119.011(5), F.S., and if so, who that designee should be. 2. If there is a need, the Secretary completes the first paragraph of Exhibit A and fills in the name of the designee in the second paragraph of Exhibit A. 3. The Secretary then signs the form and includes it in the next agenda under manager’s report as an informational item only, as no Board vote is required. 4. The same process is completed each time a designee is removed or replaced. Records Management Liaison Officer 1. The Secretary identifies the person who will be appointed the Records Management Liaison Officer under section 257.36(5)(a), F.S. 2. The Secretary completes the first paragraph of Exhibit A and fills in the name of the Records Management Liaison Officer in the third paragraph of Exhibit A. 3 3. The Secretary then signs the form and includes it in the next agenda under manager’s report as an informational item only, as no Board vote is required. 4. The same process is completed each time a Records Management Liaison Officer is removed or replaced. Please contact us with any questions.
