NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE RIDGE AT APOPKA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT: 1. FUNDING. The District’s Board hereby authorizes the funding mechanisms for the Adopted Budget as provided further herein and as indicated in the Adopted Budget attached hereto as Exhibit A and the assessment roll attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Assessment Roll”). 2. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENTS. a. Benefit Findings. The provision of the services, facilities, and operations as described in Exhibit A confers a special and peculiar benefit to the lands within the District, which benefit exceeds or equals the cost of the assessments. The allocation of the assessments to the specially benefitted lands is shown in Exhibit A and Exhibit B and is hereby found to be fair and reasonable. b. O&M Assessment Imposition. Pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, a special assessment for operations and maintenance (“O&M Assessment(s)”) is hereby levied and imposed on benefitted lands within the District and in accordance with Exhibit A and Exhibit B. The lien of the O&M Assessments imposed and levied by this Resolution shall be effective upon passage of this Resolution. c. Maximum Rate.

The District’s Board hereby certifies for collection the FY 2026 installment of the District’s previously levied debt service special assessments (“Debt Assessments,” and together with the O&M Assessments, the “Assessments”) in accordance with this Resolution and as further set forth in Exhibit A and Exhibit B, and hereby directs District staff to affect the collection of the same. 4. COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT; PENALTIES; INTEREST. a. Tax Roll Assessments. If and to the extent indicated in Exhibits A and B, certain of the operations and maintenance special assessments (if any) and/or previously levied debt service special assessments (if any) imposed on the “Tax Roll Property” identified in Exhibit B shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as County taxes in accordance with Chapter 197 of the Florida Statutes. The District’s Board finds and determines that such collection method is an efficient method of collection for the Tax Roll Property. b. Direct Bill Assessments. If and to the extent indicated in Exhibits A and B, certain operations and maintenance special assessments (if any) and/or previously levied debt service special assessments (if any) imposed on “Direct Collect Property” identified in Exhibit B shall be collected directly by the District in accordance with Florida law, as set forth in Exhibits A and B. The District’s Board finds and determines that such collection method is an efficient method of collection for the Direct Collect Property. i. Operations and maintenance assessments directly collected by the District shall be due and payable on the dates set forth in the invoices prepared by the District Manager, but no earlier than October 1st and no later than September 30th of Fiscal Year 2025/2026. ii. Debt service assessments directly collected by the District are due in full on December 1, 2025; provided, however, that, to the extent permitted by law, the assessments due may be paid in two partial, deferred payments and on dates that are 30 days prior to the District’s corresponding debt service payment dates all as set forth in the invoice(s) prepared by the District Manager. iii. In the event that an assessment payment is not made in accordance with the schedule(s) stated above, the whole assessment – including any remaining partial, deferred payments for the Fiscal Year, shall immediately become due and payable; shall accrue interest, penalties in the amount of one percent (1%) per month, and all costs of collection and enforcement; and shall either be enforced pursuant to a foreclosure action, or, at the District’s sole discretion, collected pursuant to the Uniform Method on a future tax bill, which amount may include penalties, interest, and costs of collection and enforcement. Any prejudgment interest on delinquent assessments shall accrue at the rate of any bonds secured by the assessments, or at the statutory prejudgment interest rate, as applicable. In the event an assessment subject to direct collection by the District shall be delinquent, the District Manager and District Counsel, without further authorization by the Board, may initiate foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Chapter 170, Florida Statutes, or other applicable law to collect and enforce the whole assessment, as set forth herein. c. Future Collection Methods. The decision to collect special assessments by any particular method – e.g., on the tax roll or by direct bill – does not mean that such method will be used to collect special assessments in future years, and the District reserves the right in its sole discretion to select collection methods in any given year, regardless of past practices. 5. ASSESSMENT ROLL; AMENDMENTS. The Assessment Roll, attached hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby certified for collection. The Assessment Roll shall be collected pursuant to the collection methods provided above. The proceeds therefrom shall be paid to the District.
