What is expected of a CDD Supervisor?
The CDD Board meets monthly and Supervisors are expected to attend to vote on matters concerning the operation and maintenance of the District's infrastructure (including, but not limited to, the District's stormwater system, common area landscaping, roads, and amenity facilities), in accordance with the District's budget, and the District's insurance and Bond obligations. The organizing of community social activities and events, and matters concerning private property or property outside the District's boundaries do not fall within the District's purview. District staff implement the Board's directions and policies in accordance with Florida Statutes, and the District's Rules of Procedure and ensure vendors operate in accordance with the District's policies and agreements.
All Supervisors are required to operate under Florida's Sunshine Laws and abide by Florida's Public Officers and Employees Code of Ethics, and are also required to submit an annual financial disclosure (Form 1) with the Florida Commission on Ethics and complete four hours of ethics training per calendar year. District Counsel will explain these requirements in more detail to appointed/elected Supervisors.
- Information on Government in the Sunshine can be found on the Florida Attorney General's website.
- Information on Supervisor Code of Ethics and required financial disclosure (as noted above) can be found on the Florida Commission on Ethics website. This website also provides links for the required Supervisor ethics training.
