OLD BUSINESS

Discussion Regarding Security Services

Mr. Silva informed the Board that registration of decals by the property management companies continues to be a work in progress. A lengthy discussion ensued on which various concerns about the effectiveness of the District’s arm gate entry system and the proper vetting of the visitors who enter and exit the community were discussed. It was reiterated that residents must be registered in the SOS System in order to better track visitors and assist in public safety and accountability.
Mr. Silva also presented the Board with a proposal from Regions Security pertaining to the installation of the virtual guard gate system and 24/7 rover services. The total amount for the aforementioned services was $318,466.41. He reminded the Board that the Keys Gate Master Association is currently paying for rover services for the Keys Gate Community so the security rover occasionally enters the District several times per day. The goal would be for the Keys Gate Community to eliminate this expense for the communities within the District so that the District could pay for the security rover services instead. A discussion ensued after which the Board directed Mr. Silva to contact the Keys Gate Master Association to see if they would consider eliminating the security rover expense for the communities within the District so that the District could pay for the security rover services instead

Mr. Silva confirmed that the playground installation was completed.

MEMORANDUM
TO:	District Manager
FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	February 10, 2025

RE:	Stormwater system legal requirements update

As district counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor state legislation and municipal and county ordinances that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our special district clients. Below is a summary of the current stormwater system requirements for Miami-Dade County, Florida (which include requirements imposed statewide by the Florida legislature, requirements for systems within the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and requirements exclusive to Miami-Dade County imposed by county ordinances). We suggest that you review the legal requirements with the district engineer of each special district to ensure that appropriate inspections, reporting and funding for the applicable stormwater management system are in place.

2021 Requirements for Districts with Stormwater Systems:
In 2021, the Florida legislature created Section 403.9302, Florida Statutes, which required that local governments, including special districts, develop a 20-year needs analysis of the stormwater management system. This required each special district to provide a report no later than June 30, 2022, to the county in which the special district was located providing the following:

Description of stormwater management program or system and its facilities and projects;
Number of current and projected residents served in 5-year increments;
Current and projected service area for stormwater management program and system;
Current and projected costs of providing services in 5-year increments;
Estimated remaining useful life of facility or its major components;
Recent 5-year history of annual contributions and capital expenditures for maintenance or expansion; and
Special d maintenance or expansion of the facility or its major components.
Each county was required to compile and submit a cumulative report to the state. Thereafter, the state issued a comprehensive report on its findings. Unless a further change in state legislation occurs, each special district must submit this stormwater management needs report again on June 30, 2027.

New Requirements for Districts with Stormwater Systems: Chapter 2024-275, Laws of Florida
During this past legislative session, the state enacted Chapter 2024-275, effective June 28, 2024, known as the Florida Stormwater Ratification Bill, which codified several significant changes to the Environmental Resource Permit Handbook promulgated by the Florida Department of Environment Protection (FDEP) .

Operation and Maintenance Plan:

As it relates to stormwater management systems, the FDEP Handbook requires that an applicant for construction, alteration or operation of a stormwater management system shall
O&M Plan shall provide the following:

List and details of all stormwater system components, including location, type, how systems connect, etc.;
List and description of maintenance and inspection tasks for the system and its components (specific procedures provided);
Regular inspection and maintenance schedules;
Inspection checklists;
Copies of or references to pertinent sections of covenants, conditions, restrictions or other documents, permits approvals, and agreements that govern operation and maintenance of the stormwater system; and
Permitted or as-built plans of the stormwater system.
The O&M Plan must also include a list of after-hours telephone numbers for key maintenance personnel in case of emergencies and information necessary for reviewing copies of maintenance and inspection records. This O&M Plan must be maintained by the operation and maintenance entity, and if a third party performs the operation and maintenance, the permittee remains responsible for all the requirements.

Additional Inspections and Reports	Florida Requirements:
The new legislation also requires additional inspections and reports from districts with stormwater infrastructure. The FDEP Handbook provides that the applicant may propose a maximum frequency of inspections for a stormwater system of 5 years, but FDEP may determine that the stormwater system requires a greater minimum frequency of inspections and includes a chart of the type of system and the inspection frequency for that system, which could require yearly inspections. The stormwater management system inspections conducted on or after June 28, 2025, require a qualified inspector to conduct the inspection and submit the reports. FDEP also has adopted additional requirements for each regional water management district, including the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). These additional requirements, including the inspection checklist, are available on  website (www.sfwmd.gov), which provides for the reporting requirements and signature of the inspector. The inspection report shall be submitted within 30 days of the date of the inspection.

Transfer of Permits for Stormwater Management Systems:

Based on this new legislation and the requirements for permit applications, prior to the acceptance of the transfer of any permit for the stormwater management system, the district manager should obtain the O&M Plan from the developer and confirm that the above requirements have been met. Additionally, the district manager will need to budget for the required inspections and reporting by a qualified inspector.

New Requirements for Districts located in Miami-Dade County
Additional Inspections and Reports	Miami-Dade County Requirements:

In Miami-Dade County, the County Commission enacted an ordinance imposing new stormwater management reporting and inspection requirements which commence 3 years after adoption of the ordinance (September 4, 2027). These new ordinance amendments require owners and operators of stormwater management systems that connect to or drain into a public right-of- way drainage infrastructure to certify the stormwater system and submit an asset inventory of the stormwater system and structures, inspections/maintenance records, and maintenance standard operating procedures to the County. After the first certification, the stormwater management system will need to be certified every 10 years thereafter, unless the County determines an earlier recertification is required.
If the requirements above apply to the special district, the district manager should discuss with the district engineer the anticipated costs of certifying the stormwater system, including the asset inventory of the structures, maintenance standard operating procedures and maintenance report formats to comply with the new County requirements.

Miami-Dade County Class V Dewatering Permits:

Additionally, the Miami-Dade County Commission amended the code of ordinances to require Class V permits for dewatering operations associated with the cleaning and maintenance of stormwater management systems. Dewater means to discharge either on- or off-site water from an excavation, underground structure, or depressed lands, which includes the cleaning of stormwater infrastructure systems in the special districts. Presently, a special district, or its contractor, will need to apply for and obtain a permit from Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) prior to the stormwater cleaning. Previously, the special district did not have to obtain a permit from DERM to perform stormwater structure cleaning. There are multiple costs involved, which vary depending upon the length of time of the permit. According to the information provided by DERM, the fee for a one-year permit is $2,150, as provided on the permit application form. The permit must be issued before work commences, otherwise there will be fines equal to double the permit cost imposed by Miami-Dade County. It is imperative that the permit be issued, and that this requirement is included in the agreement with a contractor. There are also other requirements that the contractor will need to adhere to as a part of the cleaning of the stormwater system under the permit, including, but not limited to, a description of the portion of the infrastructure to be cleaned, the equipment to be used for cleaning,

the standard operating procedure for the cleaning, details and specifications of required pre- treatment system if discharged into same stormwater infrastructure, information on how the filtrate will be collected, transported, and disposed of, details for the authorized facility where the solid content of the truck will be transported, visual inspection of the drainage structure and content for signs of contamination, and proper use of the equipment.

Recommendation
Taking all of these current and new requirements into account, it would benefit the special district for the district engineer to review the current stormwater management systems, including having the district engineer make a determination of: whether mapping is required to identify the location of the stormwater infrastructure, the current condition of the infrastructure, the required maintenance of the system, a maintenance plan, the estimate for the future needs of the stormwater system as a whole and the estimated costs for the regular maintenance (including permit costs) and future capital costs.
