TARAWOOD Special Dependent Taxing District NO. 32
MEETING MINUTES
September 13th, 2022 – 3103 Tarabrook Dr, Tampa, FL 33618
Treasurer Terri called the regular meeting of the TSDTD to order at 7:15 P.M. Trustees attending included: Stoney Morgado, Bob Terri, Daniel Cinquegrano, Ben Golson, James Carey, and Ronnie Bennick. A quorum was obtained. As there were no property owners in attendance, there was no public comment.
SECRETARY’S REPORT:
Trustee Cinquegrano read the meeting minutes from August 9th, 2022. A motion was made by Trustee Terri to accept the minutes. Trustee Golson seconded.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
There was no Treasurer’s report presented at this meeting.
The following bills have been accrued since the last meeting and are presented for payment:
- $749.28 Sutton Environmental Services, or $697 without tax (street sweeping)
- $71.70 TECO (August plus past due amount)
- $475 Big League Lawn Service for August
On the Sutton Bill, there was some discussion by Trustee Terri that this bill included tax, and it was thought that the district was tax exempt so the bill should be $697 (without tax). Trustee Terri made motion to pay the agreed amount first ($697) while inquiring on tax exempt status, if not exempt we will pay the tax later. Trustee Morgado seconds.
Trustee Terri made a motion to approve the above payments, seconded by Trustee Golson. The board unanimously approves.
OLD BUSINESS:
Trustee Terri presented letter from the Florida Dept. of Economic Opportunity regarding non compliance with filing the 2020-2021 Annual Financial Report. Those in attendance believed it to be filed, but Trustee Osborne to double check with Trustee Morgado. The 2021 AFR was completed so it just needs to be uploaded to the portal provided.
Trustee Terri mentioned that A&B Aquatics, our pond maintenance company, had been bought by another and he had discussed with the new manager. No interruption of service is anticipated.
Trustee Morgado informed board that he had reached out to a few new companies for the directional boring conduit project, and was trying to get bids by next week. All South was one of the new companies that we are reaching out to. Team Fischel and SNS Drilling have not reached back out to provide bids after contacting.
Trustee Terri would like to get a sandwich board sign to advertise our monthly meetings. Property owner Rubenstein stated he bought some already for use at the Civic Association meetings and that we could borrow them.
NEW BUSINESS:
On the directional boring conduit project, Trustee Morgado updated that he is still waiting on the quote from SNS.
On the old business item for sandwich board signs, Trustee Terri to look into buying them.
Trustee Terri to research options for benches in the common areas.
Trustee Terri makes motion to get quotes for the installation of security cameras at the two entrances and to subscribe to a monitoring service to store recordings. Since we don’t have gates this will provide a little extra security in case of an incident. Trustee Bennick seconded, and will look into quotes.
Trustee Morgado confirms he submitted the 2022 tax roll and resolution certifying the tax roll to property appraiser and tax collector by the deadline of Sept. 15th 2022.
