STATE OF FLORIDA
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 20-52
(Emergency Management - COVID-19 Public Health Emergency)

WHEREAS, Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe acute respiratory illness that can spread among humans through respiratory transmission and presents with symptoms similar to those of influenza; and
WHEREAS, in late 2019, a new and significant outbreak of COVID-19 emerged in China;

and

WHEREAS, the World Health Organization previously declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern; and
WHEREAS, in response to the recent COVID-19 outbreak in China, Iran, Italy, Japan and South Korea, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC") has deemed it necessary to prohibit or restrict non-essential travel to or from those countries; and
WHEREAS, on March 1, 2020, I issued Executive Order number 20-51 directing the Florida Department of Health to issue a Public Health Emergency; and
WHEREAS, on March 1, 2020, the State Surgeon General and State Health Officer declared a Public Health Emergency exists in the State of Florida as a result of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, on March 7, 2020, I directed the Director of the Division of Emergency Management to activate the State Emergency Operations Center to Level 2 to provide coordination and response to the COVID-19 emergency; and
WHEREAS, as of March 9, 2020, eight counties in Florida have positive cases for COVID-19, and COVID-19 poses a risk to the entire state of Florida; and

WHEREAS, the CDC currently recommends community preparedness and everyday prevention measures be taken by all individuals and families in the United States, including voluntary home isolation when individuals are sick with respiratory symptoms, covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue and disposal of the tissue immediately thereafter, washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, using of alcohol-based hand sanitizers with 60%-95% alcohol if soap and water are not readily available and routinely cleaning frequently touched surfaces and objects to increase community resilience and readiness for responding to an outbreak; and
WHEREAS, the CDC currently recommends mitigation measures for communities experiencing an outbreak including staying at home when sick, keeping away from others who are sick, limiting face-to-face contact with others as much as possible, consulting with your healthcare provider if individuals or members of a household are at high risk for COVID-19 complications , wearing a facemask if advised to do so by a healthcare provider or by a public health official, staying home when a household member is sick with respiratory disease symptoms if instructed to do so by public health officials or a health care provider; and
WHEREAS, as Governor, I am responsible for meeting the dangers presented to this state and its people by this emergency.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RON DESANTIS, as Governor of Florida, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Article IV, Section (l)(a) of the Florida Constitution, Chapter 252, Florida Statutes, and all other applicable laws, promulgate the following Executive Order to take immediate effect:
Section I. Because of the foregoing conditions, I declare a state of emergency exists in the State of Florida.

Section 2. I designate the Director of the Division of Emergency Management ("Director") as the State Coordinating Officer for the duration of this emergency and direct him to execute the State's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and other response, recovery, and mitigation plans necessary to cope with the emergency. Additionally, I designate the State Health Officer and Surgeon General as a Deputy State Coordinating Officer and State Incident Commander.
Pursuant to section 252.36(1)(a), Florida Statutes, I delegate to the State Coordinating

Officer the authority to exercise those powers delineated in sections 252.36(5)-(10), Florida Statutes, which he shall exercise as needed to meet this emergency, subject to the limitations of section 252.33, Florida Statutes. In exercising the powers delegated by this Order, the State Coordinating Officer shall confer with the Governor to the fullest extent practicable. The State Coordinating Officer shall also have the authority to:
Seek direct assistance and enter into agreements with any and all agencies of the United States Government as may be needed to meet the emergency.
Designate additional Deputy State Coordinating Officers, as necessary.

Suspend the effect of any statute, rule, or order that would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay any mitigation, response, or recovery action necessary to cope with this emergency.
Enter orders as may be needed to implement any of the foregoing powers; however, the requirements of sections 252.46 and 120.54(4), Florida Statutes , do not apply to any such orders issued by the State Coordinating Officer; however, no such order shall remain in effect beyond the expiration of this Executive Order, to include any extension.
Section 3. I order the Adjutant General to activate the Florida National Guard, as needed, to deal with this emergency.

Section 4. I find that the special duties and responsibilities resting upon some State, regional, and local agencies and other governmental bodies in responding to the emergency may require them to suspend the application of the statutes, rules, ordinances, and orders they administer. Therefore, I issue the following authorizations:
Pursuant to section 252.36(1)(a), Florida Statutes, the Executive Office of the Governor may suspend all statutes and rules affecting budgeting to the extent necessary to provide budget authority for state agencies to cope with this emergency. The requirements of sections
252.46 and 120.54(4), Florida Statutes, do not apply to any such suspension issued by the Executive Office of the Governor; however, no such suspension shall remain in effect beyond the expiration of this Executive Order, to include any extension.
Each State agency may suspend the provisions of any regulatory statute prescribing the procedures for conduct of state business or the orders or rules of that agency, if strict compliance with the provisions of any such statute, order, or rule would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay necessary action in coping with the emergency. This includes, but is not limited to, the authority to suspend any and all statutes, rules, ordinances, or orders which affect leasing, printing, purchasing, travel, and the condition of employment and the compensation of employees. For the purposes of this Executive Order, "necessary action in coping with the emergency" means any emergency mitigation, response, or recovery action: (1) prescribed in the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan ("CEMP"); or (2) ordered by the State Coordinating Officer. The requirements of sections 252.46 and 120.54, Florida Statutes, shall not apply to any such suspension issued by a State agency; however, no such suspension shall remain in effect beyond the expiration of this Executive Order, to include any extensions.

In accordance with section 465.0275, Florida Statutes, phannacists may dispense up to a 30-day emergency prescription refill of maintenance medication to persons who reside in an area or county covered under this Executive Order and to emergency personnel who have been activated by their state and local agency but who do not reside in an area or county covered by this Executive Order.
In accordance with section 252.38, Florida Statutes, each political subdivision within the State of Florida may waive the procedures and fonnalities otherwise required of the political subdivision by law pertaining to:
Perfonnance of public work and taking whatever prudent action is necessary to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the community;
Entering into contracts; however, political subdivisions are cautioned against entering into time and materials contracts without ceiling as defined by 2 CFR 200.318(j) or cost plus percentage contracts as defined by 2 CFR 200.323(d);
Incurring obligations;

Employment of pennanent and temporary workers;

Utilization of volunteer workers;

Rental of equipment ;

Acquisition and distribution, with or without compensation, of supplies, materials, and facilities; and,
Appropriation and expenditure of public funds.

All State agencies responsible for the use of State buildings and facilities may close such buildings and facilities in those portions of the State affected by this emergency, to the extent necessary to meet this emergency. I direct each State agency to report the closure of any State

building or facility to the Secretary of the Department of Management Services. Under the authority contained in section 252.36, Florida Statutes, I direct each County to report the closure of any building or facility operated or maintained by the County or any political subdivision therein to the Secretary of the Department of Management Services. Furthermore, I direct the Secretary of the Department of Management Services to:
Maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of all such closures; and,

Provide that list daily to the State Coordinating Officer.

Section 5. I find that the demands placed upon the funds appropriated to the agencies of the State of Florida and to local agencies are unreasonably great and the funds currently available may be inadequate to pay the costs of coping with this emergency. In accordance with section 252.37(2), Florida Statutes, I direct that sufficient funds be made available, as needed, by transferring and expending moneys appropriated for other purposes, moneys from unappropriated surplus funds, or from the Budget Stabilization Fund.
Section 6. All State agencies entering emergency final orders or other final actions in response to this emergency shall advise the State Coordinating Officer contemporaneously or as soon as practicable.
Section 7. Medical professionals and workers, social workers, and counselors with good and valid professional licenses issued by states other than the State of Florida may render such services in Florida during this emergency for persons affected by this emergency with the condition that such services be rendered to such persons free of charge, and with the further condition that such services be rendered under the auspices of the American Red Cross or the Florida Department of Health.

Section 8. All activities taken by the Director of the Division of Emergency Management and the State Health Officer and Surgeon General with respect to this emergency before the issuance of this Executive Order are ratified. This Executive Order shall expire sixty days from this date unless extended.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Florida to be affixed, at Tallahassee, this 9th day of

DONALDSON KNOLL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT

Funding Agreement for Fiscal Year 2021

DONALDSON KNOLL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT FISCAL YEAR 2020/2021 FUNDING AGREEMENT

This agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 4th day of August, 2020, by and between:

DONALDSON KNOLL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, a
local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, and located in the City of Mulberry, Florida (hereinafter "District"), and

LDC DONALDSON KNOLL INVESTMENTS, LLC a Delaware limited liability limited partnership and a landowner in the District (hereinafter "Developer").

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the District was established by an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City of Mulberry, Florida, for the purpose of planning, financing, constructing, operating and/or maintaining certain infrastructure; and

WHEREAS, the District, pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes, is authorized to levy such taxes, special assessments, fees and other charges as may be necessary in furtherance of the District's activities and services; and

WHEREAS, Developer presently owns and/or is developing the majority of all real property described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein (“Property”), within the District, which Property will benefit from the timely construction and acquisition of the District's facilities, activities and services and from the continued operations of the District; and

WHEREAS, the District is adopting its general fund budget for the Fiscal Year 2020/2021, which year commences on October 1, 2020, and concludes on September 30, 2021; and

WHEREAS, this general fund budget, which both parties recognize may be amended from time to time in the sole discretion of the District, is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit B; and

WHEREAS, the District has the option of levying non-ad valorem assessments on all land, including the Property, that will benefit from the activities, operations and services set forth in the 2020/2021 Fiscal Year budget, or utilizing such other revenue sources as may be available to it; and

WHEREAS, in lieu of levying assessments on the Property, the Developer is willing to provide such funds as are necessary to allow the District to proceed with its operations as described in Exhibit B; and

WHEREAS, the Developer agrees that the activities, operations and services provide a special and peculiar benefit equal to or in excess of the costs reflected on Exhibit B to the Property; and

WHEREAS, the Developer has agreed to enter into this Agreement in lieu of having the District levy and collect any non-ad valorem assessments as authorized by law against the Property located within the District for the activities, operations and services set forth in Exhibit B; and

WHEREAS, Developer and District desire to secure such budget funding through the imposition of a continuing lien against the Property described in Exhibit A and otherwise as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon good and valuable consideration and the mutual covenants of the parties, the receipt of which and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

FUNDING. The Developer agrees to make available to the District the monies necessary for the operation of the District as called for in the budget attached hereto as Exhibit B, as may be amended from time to time in the District’s sole discretion, within fifteen (15) days of written request by the District. Amendments to the District’s 2020/2021 Fiscal Year budget as shown on Exhibit B adopted by the District at a duly noticed meeting shall have the effect of amending this Agreement without further action of the parties. Funds provided hereunder shall be placed in the District's general checking account. These payments are made by the Developer in lieu of taxes, fees, or assessments which might otherwise be levied or imposed by the District.

CONTINUING LIEN. District shall have the right to file a continuing lien upon the Property described in Exhibit A for all payments due and owing under the terms of this Agreement and for interest thereon, and for reasonable attorneys’ fees, paralegals’ fees, expenses and court costs incurred by the District incident to the collection of funds under this Agreement or for enforcement this lien, and all sums advanced and paid by the District for taxes and payment on account of superior interests, liens and encumbrances in order to preserve and protect the District’s lien. The lien shall be effective as of the date and time of the recording of a “Notice of Lien for FY 2020/2021 Budget” in the public records of Polk County, Florida, stating among other things, the description of the real property and the amount due as of the recording of the Notice, and the existence of this Agreement. The District Manager, in its sole discretion, is hereby authorized by the District to file the Notice of Lien for FY 2020/2021 Budget on behalf of the District, without the need of further Board action authorizing or directing such filing. At the District Manager’s direction, the District may also bring an action at law against the record title holder to the Property to pay the amount due under this Agreement, or may foreclose the lien against the Property in any manner authorized by law. The District may partially release any filed lien for portions of the Property subject to a plat if and when the Developer has demonstrated, in the District’s sole discretion, such release will not materially impair the ability of the District to enforce the collection of funds hereunder. In the event the Developer sells any of the Property described in Exhibit A after the execution of this Agreement, the Developer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain the same, provided however that the District shall only have the right to file a lien upon the remaining Property owned by the Developer.

ALTERNATIVE COLLECTION METHODS.

In the alternative or in addition to the collection method set forth in Paragraph 2 above, the District may enforce the collection of funds due under this Agreement by action against the Developer in the appropriate judicial forum in and for Polk County, Florida.

In the event that either party is required to enforce this Agreement by court proceedings or otherwise, then the parties agree that the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other all costs incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs for trial, alternative dispute resolution, or appellate proceedings.

The District hereby finds that the activities, operations and services set forth in Exhibit B provide a special and peculiar benefit to the Property, which benefit is initially allocated on an equal developable acreage basis. The Developer agrees that the activities, operations and services set forth in Exhibit B provide a special and peculiar benefit to the Property equal to or in excess of the costs set forth in Exhibit B, on an equal developable acreage basis. Therefore, in the alternative or in addition to the other methods of collection set forth in this Agreement, the District, in its sole discretion, may choose to certify amounts due hereunder as a non-ad valorem assessment on all or any part of the Property for collection, either through the Uniform Method of Collection set forth in Chapter 197 or under any method of direct bill and collection authorized by Florida law. Such assessment, if imposed, may be certified on the next available tax roll of the Polk County property appraiser.

Legislative Memo from District Counsel

MEMORANDUM

TO:	District Manager

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

DATE:	July 22, 2020

RE:	2020 Legislative Update – Updated and Revised

As District Counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor pending legislation that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our Community Development District and other Special District clients. It is at this time of year that we summarize those legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session, as follows:

Chapter 2020-077, Laws of Florida (SB 1466). This legislation pertains to government accountability and amends Sections 189.031 and 190.007, F.S. to specify (i) those conditions under which board members and public employees of special districts and community development districts, respectively, do not abuse their public positions under Article II, section 8(h)(2) of the Florida Constitution when the board member or public employee commits an act or omission that is authorized under Sections 112.313 (7), (12), (15), or (16), or Section 112.3143(3)(b), and (ii) that an abuse of a board member’s position does not include any act or omission in connection with a vote when the board member has followed the procedures required by Section 112.3143. The act also amends Section 189.069, which requires special districts to maintain a website, to allow the district to provide a link to the district’s audit report on the Auditor General’s website rather than posting the audit report for the most recent completed fiscal year in its entirety, and removes the requirement that the public facilities report be posted on the website. The act clarifies that the agenda for each meeting or workshop shall be posted on the website for at least seven days prior to such meeting or workshop and removes the requirement that any meeting materials available in electronic format also be posted. This act takes effect on July 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020-154, Laws of Florida (HB 279). Special districts, counties, municipalities, and other political subdivisions are required to competitively bid projects to construct or improve a public building or structure if the projected cost of the project exceeds
$300,000 and for electrical work estimated to cost more than $75,000. This act provides direction with respect to calculating the estimated cost of a project for purposes of Section 255.20, Florida Statutes, by clarifying that the estimated project cost shall include all costs associated with performing and completing the work, including employee compensation and benefits, the cost of equipment and maintenance, insurance costs, and the cost of direct materials to be used in the construction of the project including those materials to be directly purchased by the local government, and other direct costs, plus a factor of 20% for management, overhead and other indirect costs. The act also amends Section 218.80, F.S., to require that local government issuing bid documents or other requests for proposals disclose in such documents a list of other governmental entities that may have additional permits or fees generated by the project. If such

entities, permits or fees are not disclosed in the bidding documents or other requests for proposal or a contract between the local government and the contractor, such fee shall not be assessed or collected after the contract is let. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2020

Chapter 2020-127, Laws of Florida (HB 441/SB 506). This act pertains specifically to “continuing contracts” as that term is utilized in the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act, Section 287.055, F.S. The act amends Section 287.055, F.S., to amend the definition of “continuing contract” with respect to contracts for professional services to authorize such contracts where the estimated construction cost of each individual project under the continuing contract does not exceed
$4 million (formerly $2 million) and where the fee for professional services for each individual study activity under the continuing contract does not exceed $500,000 (increased from $200,000 dollars). The act also amends Section 255.103 (4), F.S. to increase the threshold amount from $2 million to $4 million dollars for each project in which a governmental entity is authorized to enter into a continuing contract for construction management or program management. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020- , Laws of Florida (HB 101). This act amends Sections 218.735,
255.05 and 255.078, F.S., to change the amount of retainage that may be withheld from progress payments for any state and local government construction services contracts, including those in which a special district is a party. The law previously limited retainage that could be withheld to 10% per progress payment where the contract is more than $200,000. The law changes the maximum amount of retainage per progress payment to 5%. This act shall take effect on October 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020- , Laws of Florida (HB 7009). Florida voters approved Amendment  12 during the 2018 General Election, amending Article II, Section 8 of the Florida Constitution to provide a constitutional prohibition on public officers and public employees abusing their positions in order to obtain a “disproportionate benefit” for themselves or others. This legislation has the effect of reenacting provisions of the Florida Code of Ethics that provide penalties for violations of the Code of Ethics and further provides for statutory penalties applicable to Article II, Section 8 (h)(2) of the Florida Constitution. As a result, the Florida Commission on Ethics recently enacted rules implementing this provision and further defining “disproportionate benefit” as a benefit, privilege, exemption or result arising from an act or omission by public office or public employee inconsistent with the proper performance of his or her duties. The rule enacted by the Florida Commission on Ethics also describes the requisite intent for finding a violation of this provision if the public officer or public employee acted, or refrained from acting, with wrongful intent for the purpose of obtaining any benefit, privilege, exemption or result from the act or omission which is inconsistent with the proper performance of his or her public duties. The effective date of this legislation is December 31, 2020.

Chapter 2020-149, Laws of Florida (SB 664). This act pertains to employment eligibility and creates Section 448.095, F.S. to require public employers, contractors, and subcontractors to register with and use the E-Verify system to prohibit such entities from entering into a contract with a government entity unless each party to the contract registers with and uses the E-Verify system, and requires private employers to also verify the employment eligibility of newly hired employees beginning on a specified date. The requirements contained herein are

scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2020. Our special district clients will need to include this E- Verify requirement when entering into construction and service contracts and otherwise pursuant to this Section 448.095, F.S.

Chapter 2020- 058, Laws of Florida, (HB 637/SB 1066). Impact fees are imposed by counties, municipalities and special districts to fund local public infrastructure that is needed to meet the demands accompanying population growth caused by development. Impact fees are imposed by ordinance and the impact fee amount is required to have a rational nexus to the need for additional capital facilities and to the expenditures of funds collected and the benefits accruing to the new construction. This act relates to impact fees and amends Section 163.318(01), F.S. to prohibit new or increased impact fees from applying to current or pending permit applications submitted prior to the effective date of an ordinance or resolution imposing a new or increased impact fee. Accordingly, this act limits the ability of a local government to increase impact fees when permit applications are submitted prior to the effective date of an ordinance or resolution imposing a new impact fee. The act further clarifies that impact fee credits are assignable and transferrable any time after the establishment from one development or parcel to any other that is within the same impact fee zone or impact fee district or that is within an adjoining impact fee zone or impact fee district within the same local government jurisdiction and receives benefits from the improvement or contribution that generated the credits. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020-119, Laws of Florida, (HB 579/SB 178). This act creates Section 161.551, F.S. and relates to the public financing of construction projects within the coastal building zone. The act requires sea level impact projection studies prior to the beginning of construction, requires the Department of Environmental Protection to develop study standards, publish studies on its website, enforce the requirements and adopt rules related thereto. This act appears to apply only to public entities that commission or manage construction projects utilizing funds appropriated from the State of Florida. This act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020-150, Laws of Florida (HB 1343/SB 712). This act makes numerous changes to current laws relating to water quality improvements, septic systems, basin management action plans, stormwater management, sanitary sewer overflows, and wastewater project plans. The act could result in an increase in the number of required site monitoring visits, water quality improvements costs, water quality monitoring, and monitoring of total maximum daily loads, and will likely primarily impact the development approval process. This act takes effect on July 1, 2020, and pertains primarily to the effort to reduce sewage and sewage related waste from being disposed of into the stormwater systems.

Chapter 2020- , Laws of Florida (SB 7004). This act relates to public records and amends Section 197.3225, F.S. to maintain the public record exemption for taxpayer email addresses, where such email addresses are held by tax collectors for certain tax notice purposes. This public records exemption was scheduled to expire on October 2, 2020, but that schedule for the repeal of this exemption has been removed. This act will take effect on October 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020-114, Laws of Florida (HB 5003). This act implements the 2020/21 General Appropriations Act, and contains provisions establishing the local government efficiency

task force within the legislature to review the governance structure and function of local governments and make recommendations on any changes that may be necessary to make such local governments more efficient. The legislation specifies the task force membership, authorizes the task force to conduct meetings, and requires the task force to submit a report to the Governor and the Florida Legislature by June 1, 2021. This act is effective July 1, 2020. It is unclear how this will affect special districts, but we will continue to monitor over the next year and will advise our special district clients accordingly.

Chapter 2020-021, Laws of Florida (SB 7018). This act pertains to essential state infrastructure and expands special treatment for the utility industry. Pursuant to Section 337.401, F.S., the Department of Transportation (DOT) and each local government having control of public roads or publicly owned rail corridors is authorized to prescribe and enforce reasonable rules and regulations pertaining to the placement and maintenance of utility facilities within the rights-of- way under its jurisdiction. This act expands the expedited permitting process to include right-of- way permits for electric, natural gas, water and sewer facilities, and other utilities. The Act also creates Section 338.236, F.S to allow for staging areas to be activated during a declared state of emergency at key geographic locations on Florida’s Turnpike system. The bill further promotes electric vehicle (EV) charging station infrastructure by providing for the establishment of a recommended plan for EV charging station infrastructure, requires the DOT to coordinate, develop, and recommend a master plan for the implementation of EV charging station infrastructure along the State Highway System. Finally, the bill addresses conservation easements to indicate that owners of land are not restricted from negotiating the use of lands traditionally used for agriculture that are the subject of a conservation easement for any private or public linear facility, right of access, and related appurtenances. The effective date of this legislation is July 1, 2020.

Chapter 2020- , Laws of Florida (HB 133). This act requires counties and permits municipalities to establish maximum rates for the towing and immobilization of vessels, as well as vehicles. The act further requires that tow-away zone notices be placed within ten (10) feet of the road, as defined in Section 334.03 (22), F.S. instead of within five (5) feet of the public right-of- way line, as was formerly permitted. This act becomes effective on October 1, 2020.

For convenience, we have included copies of the legislation referenced in this memorandum. We request that you include this memorandum as part of the agenda packages for upcoming meetings of the governing boards of those special districts in which you serve as the District Manager and this firm serves as District Counsel. For purposes of the agenda package, it is not necessary to include the attached legislation, as we can provide copies to anyone requesting the same. Copies of the above are also accessible by visiting this link: http://laws.flrules.org/.
