Sec. 2-8-153. - Elections; Board of Supervisors.

The UPRD shall be governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors. Beginning with the 2023 election, Supervisors shall be elected as follows:

if permitted by Florida law, Supervisors shall be elected by Owners based on a one-vote by an Owner for each residential lot; or

if voting pursuant to 1) above is not permitted by Florida law, then Supervisors shall be elected by the Owners and Residents.

Notice of elections shall be published once a week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper which is in general circulation in the area of the UPRD, the last day of such publication to be not fewer than 14 days or more than 28 days before the date of the election. Beginning with the third election, the election for supervisors shall occur on the third Tuesday in February after the November general election. Owners and Residents who are authorized to vote shall register with the District at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the election. If voting is permitted by Florida law based on one-vote by an Owner for each residential lot, the Owners of the residential lot shall select Owner to cast the vote for that lot and who shall register with the District. The District shall publish notice of the timeframe to register for each election shall be published once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of UPRD, the last day of such publication to be not fewer than forty-four (44) days or more than fifty-eight
(58) days before the election on the District website. Beginning with the 2023 election, the Board of Supervisors may appoint a non-supervisor resident to coordinate and conduct the election. Beginning with the 2023 election and each election thereafter, candidates of the Office of Supervisor shall file with the District Manager for the seat for which the candidate is running. The filing period shall terminate 60 days prior to the date of the election. A vote may be cast in person, or by proxy in writing. Each proxy must be signed by the voter for which the vote is cast and must contain the typed or printed name of the individual who signed the proxy and the street address, or tax parcel identification number. The signature on a proxy need not be notarized. Upon the conclusion of the period for the casting of votes on the election day, the results shall be announced at a public meeting upon the conclusion of the counting.

Beginning with the 2023 election and at each election thereafter, the candidate receiving the most votes for each seat in any election shall be elected. The term of office for each successful candidate commences upon election. If, during the term of office, a vacancy occurs, the remaining members of the Board shall fill the vacancy by an appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. Supervisors shall hold office for the terms for which they were elected or appointed and until their successors are chosen and qualified. If no Resident qualifies for a seat to be filled in an election, a vacancy in that seat shall be declared by the Board effective on the second Tuesday following the election. Within 90 days thereafter, the Board shall use its best efforts to identify and appoint a Resident to fill the vacancy. Until such appointment, the incumbent Supervisor in that seat shall remain in office.

Any tie in the number of votes cast for a Supervisor seat shall be resolved by a coin flip.

Beginning with the 2023 election, term of office for Supervisors shall be for four (4) year staggered terms with two seats being filled in in 2023 and three seats being filled in 2025.

Elections shall be nonpartisan.

The cost of elections for the Board shall be borne by the UPRD.

The Board shall use and rely upon the official records maintained by the Manatee County Supervisor of Elections, Property Appraiser and/or Tax Collector in making the determination of whether a person qualifies as an Owner or Resident entitled to vote in an election of the Board.

Upon entering into office, Supervisors shall take and subscribe to the oath of office as prescribed by Section 876.05, Florida Statutes.

There shall be a limit of three consecutive terms, and a total limit of four terms, for each person elected as a Supervisor.

Supervisors shall serve without compensation.

As soon as practicable after each election or appointment, the Board shall organize by electing one of its members as chair and by electing a secretary, who need not be a Supervisor, and such other officers as the Board may deem necessary. The Board shall designate a person who is a resident of the state as treasurer of the UPRD, who shall have charge of the funds of the UPRD. Such funds shall be disbursed only upon the order, or pursuant to the resolution, of the Board by warrant or check countersigned by the treasurer and by such other person as may be authorized by the Board.

The Board shall conduct regular meetings and shall periodically solicit the views of Residents and Owners as to their concerns regarding any aspect of matters within the authority or purview of the Board. The Board shall be primarily responsible for developing policy and overseeing the implementation of such policy, but in no way does this expression of intent limit the Board’s powers.

A majority of the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of conducting its business, exercising its powers and for all other purposes. Action taken by the UPRD shall be upon a vote of a majority of the Supervisors present and voting unless general law or a rule of the UPRD requires a greater number.

AMEND SECTION 2-8-156 to read as follows:

Sec. 2-8-156. - Short-Term Borrowing. The UPRD at any time may obtain short- term loans or lines of credit with a maturity of five years or less, in such amount and on such terms and conditions as the Board may approve, for the purpose of paying any of the expenses of the UPRD or any costs incurred or that may be incurred in connection with any of the Projects, which loans of lines of credit shall bear such interest as the Board may determine in compliance with section 215.84, Florida Statutes, and may be payable from and secured by a pledge of such funds, revenues, taxes, and assessments as the Board may determine, subject, however, to the provisions contained in any proceeding under which Bonds were theretofore issued and are then outstanding. For the purpose of defraying such costs and expenses, the UPRD may issue negotiable notes, warrants, or other evidences of debt to be payable at such times, to bear such interest as the Board may determine in compliance with section 215.84, Florida Statutes, and to be sold or discounted at such price or prices not less than 95 percent of par value and on such terms as the Board may deem advisable. The Board shall have the right to provide for the payment thereof by pledging the whole or any part of the funds, revenues, taxes, and assessments of the UPRD. The approval by referendum of short-term loans or lines of credit shall not be necessary except when required by the Act or State Constitution. Short-term borrowing authorized pursuant to this section shall also be subject to the provisions of section 2-8-157(g).

AMEND SECTION 2-8-157 to read as follows:

Sec. 2-8-157. - Bonds.

The Board shall develop a detailed plan for the expenditure and repayment of the proceeds of each Bond issue. The repayment portion of each plan shall specify the annual amount of Bond repayment due from each Owner within the UPRD. The plan must be the subject of a referendum prior to the issuance of a proposed Bond. Provided however, no referendum shall be required for refunding Bonds. The referendum required by this section may be held on the same day as any other referendum related to the UPRD; provided that such Bonds shall bear interest at a rate pursuant to section 215.84, Florida Statutes, and be sold in accordance with law. In the event an offer of an issue of Bonds at public sale produces no bid, or in the event all bids received are rejected, or UPRD elects to sell pursuant to a private sale, if allowed by law, the UPRD is authorized to negotiate for the sale of such Bonds under such rates and terms as are acceptable; provided that no such Bonds shall be sold or delivered on terms less favorable than the terms contained in any bids rejected at the public sale thereof or the terms contained in the notice of public sale if no bids were received at such public sale.

Bonds shall be authorized by resolution or resolutions of the Board which shall be adopted by a majority of all the Supervisors thereof then in office. Such resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds may be adopted prior to filing a complaint for validation of the Bonds, but the validation hearing shall not occur until after the referendum required by section 418.22, Florida Statutes. Such resolution or resolutions may be adopted at the same meeting at which they are introduced and need not be published or posted. Any resolution authorizing the issuance of Bonds may contain such covenants as the Board may deem advisable, and all such covenants shall constitute valid and legally binding and enforceable contracts between the UPRD and the bondholders, regardless of the time of issuance thereof. Such covenants may include, without limitation, covenants concerning the disposition of the Bond proceeds; the use and disposition of Project revenues; the pledging of revenues, taxes, and assessments; the obligations of the UPRD with respect to the operation of the Project and the maintenance of adequate Project revenues; the issuance of additional Bonds; the appointment, powers, and duties of trustees and receivers; the acquisition of outstanding Bonds and obligations; restrictions on the establishing of competing Projects or facilities; restrictions on the sale or disposal of the assets and property of the UPRD; the priority of assessment liens; the priority of claims by bondholders on the taxing power of the UPRD; the maintenance of deposits to assure the payment of revenues by users of UPRD facilities and services; the discontinuance of UPRD services by reason of delinquent payments; acceleration upon default; the execution of necessary instruments; the procedure for amending or abrogating covenants with the bondholders; and such other covenants as may be deemed necessary or desirable for the security of the bondholders.

Any Bond issued by the UPRD, in the absence of an express recital on the face thereof that it is nonnegotiable, shall be fully negotiable and shall be and constitute a negotiable instrument.

The UPRD shall have the power to issue Bonds to provide for the retirement or refunding of any Bonds or obligations of the UPRD at any time when in the judgment of the Board such issuance will be advantageous to the UPRD.

Any two or more Projects may be combined and consolidated into a single Project and may be operated and maintained as a single Project. The Bonds authorized herein may be issued to finance any one or more of such Projects, regardless of whether or not such Projects have been combined and consolidated into a single Project. If the Board deems it advisable, the proceedings authorizing such Bonds may provide that the UPRD may thereafter combine the Projects then being financed or theretofore financed with other Projects to be subsequently financed by the UPRD, and that Bonds to be thereafter issued by the UPRD shall be on parity with the Bonds then being issued, all on such terms, conditions, and limitations as shall have been provided in the proceeding which authorized the original Bonds.

If the Board determines to issue Bonds for more than one Project, the approval of the issuance of the Bonds for all such Projects may be submitted during one referendum process. The failure of the referendum to approve the issuance of Bonds for any one or more Projects shall not defeat the approval of Bonds for any Project which has been approved in such referendum process.

All Bond issues, except for refunding bonds, shall be validated by appropriate court proceedings. No Bonds, short-term loans or lines of credit or other debt of the UPRD shall constitute debt of Manatee County or the State of Florida, and Manatee County does not make any legal representations with regard to any such indebtedness. UPRD shall be entitled to issue Bonds without the consent of the county. In furtherance thereof, the county shall not be requested to authorize any Bonds or other obligations secured by non-ad valorem assessments or taxes imposed by the UPRD pursuant to the Act or this article. The UPRD acting pursuant to the Act or this article shall not be empowered or authorized in any manner to create a debt as against the county and shall not be entitled to pledge the full faith and credit of the county in any manner whatsoever. No revenue bonds or debt obligations of the UPRD acting pursuant to the Act shall ever pledge or imply any pledge that the county shall be obligated to pay the same or the interest thereon, nor state or imply that such obligations are payable from the full faith and credit or the taxing power of the state or the county. The issuance of Bonds by the UPRD under the Act or this article shall not be deemed in any manner, directly or indirectly

or contingently, to obligate the county to levy or to pledge any form of ad valorem taxation or other county revenues or to make any appropriation for their payment whatsoever.
