MEMORANDUM
TO: DISTRICT MANAGER
FROM: KUTAK ROCK LLP
RE: WASTEWATER AND STORMWATER NEEDS ANALYSIS
During the 2021 legislative session sections 403.9301 and 403.9302, Florida Statutes, were enacted requiring local governments to perform a 20-year needs analysis of certain wastewater and stormwater services or systems. Subject special districts are required to complete this analysis by June 30, 2022, and every five years thereafter. This memorandum answers basic questions regarding these new statutory provisions and requests that District Managers seek authorization for staff to solicit proposals to complete the required study as appropriate. We expect the services necessary to complete the required analysis to be exempt from competitive solicitation requirements as a planning or study activity below the statutory threshold of $35,000. §§ 287.055, 287.017, Fla. Stat. Thus, as deemed appropriate and in the best interests of the subject district, districts may elect to utilize the services of existing engineering or other professionals currently under contract or may seek additional proposals for completion of the required needs analysis.
Which special districts are required to complete a needs analysis under sections 403.9301 and 403.9302, Florida Statutes?
Special districts providing “wastewater services” or a “stormwater management program or stormwater management system” must complete a needs analysis. 1
What constitutes “wastewater services”?
Wastewater services means providing service to pipelines or conduits, pumping stations, and force mains and associated facilities used for collecting or conducting wastes to an ultimate point for treatment or disposal or to a plant or other works used for the purpose of
1 Counties, municipalities, and special districts located in a “rural area of opportunity” may be exempt from the requirements of sections 403.9301 and 403.9302, Florida Statutes, if compliance would create an undue economic hardship. This includes:
• Northwest Rural Area of Opportunity: Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Holmes, Jackson, Liberty, Wakulla, and Washington counties, and the area within the city limits of Freeport and Walton County north of the Choctawhatchee Bay and intercoastal waterway.
• South Central Rural Area of Opportunity: DeSoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Highlands, and Okeechobee counties, and the cities of Pahokee, Belle Glade, and South Bay (Palm Beach County), and Immokalee (Collier County).
• North Central Rural Area of Opportunity: Baker, Bradford, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Levy, Madison, Putnam, Suwannee, Taylor, and Union counties.
2
treating, stabilizing, or holding wastewater principally from dwellings, business buildings, institutions, and sanitary wastewater or sewage treatment plants.
What constitutes “stormwater management program or stormwater management system”?
“Stormwater management program” means an institutional strategy for stormwater management, including urban, agricultural and other stormwater. “Stormwater Management System” means a system which is designed and constructed or implemented to control discharges which are necessitated by rainfall events, incorporating methods to collect, convey, store, absorb, inhibit, treat, use, or reuse water to prevent or reduce flooding, over-drainage, environmental degradation and water pollution or otherwise affect the quantity and quality of discharges from the system.
What must the needs analysis for these services or systems include?
• A detailed description of associated facilities; • The number of current and projected residents served calculated in 5-year increments; • The current and projected service area; • The current and projected cost of providing services calculated in 5-year increments; • The estimated remaining useful life of each facility or its major components; • The most recent 5-year history of annual contributions to, expenditures from, and
balances of any capital account for maintenance or expansion of any facility or its major components; and
• The district’s plan to fund the maintenance or expansion of any facility or its major components. The plan must include historical and estimated future revenues and expenditures with an evaluation of how the district expects to close any projected funding gap.
When must the needs analysis required be complete? The 20-year needs analysis must be completed by June 30, 2022. What happens to the needs analysis once it is complete?
The complete needs analysis and associated methodology and supporting data must be submitted to the county within which the largest portion of the subject district facilities are located. Each county must them compile all analyses submitted to it (from special districts, municipalities, and the county itself) into a single document that must be filed with the Department of Environmental Protection and Office of Economic and Demographic Research by July 31, 2022 and every five years thereafter. The Office of Economic and Demographic research is required to evaluate the compiled documents for purposes of developing a statewide analysis that will include an analysis of the expenditures necessary to repair, replace, and expand water-related infrastructure.

Rizzetta Amenity Services
Rizzetta Consolidation
Historically the services provided by Rizzetta have been provided by three legal entities: Rizzetta & Company, Rizzetta Amenity Services (RASI) and Rizzetta Technology Services (RTS). Each entity authored and administered its own contracts as well as individually maintained staff. In an effort to unify our service offerings and capitalize on the efficiencies gained with size, all three entities will consolidate under “Rizzetta & Company” (Rizzetta) effective January 1st, 2022. Below are answers to a few frequently asked questions regarding this change:
Q: Why is this change being made?
A: In our continued effort to streamline internal processes, reduce unnecessary paperwork, unify services provided to our communities, and promote overall better services for our clients, “RASI” and “RTS” will officially be integrated into Rizzetta & Company as of January 1st, 2022.
Q: What will “RASI” be known as after this date?
A: “RASI” will be “Rizzetta & Company” with its management chain residing in the Community Services Division.
Q: How will this change affect our communities?
A: There will be no changes to the services provided. Some communities may receive bills with both “RASI” and Rizzetta & Company as we make this transition. However, this impact will be minimal and temporary.
Q: How will our communities notice the change?
A: Communities receiving invoices from RASI, RTS and Rizzetta & Company will see fewer invoices. Historical RASI invoices for on-site staff will continue to be received at the same intervals (every other week) but will come from “Rizzetta & Company”. Communities that have been receiving invoices from RTS will see that invoice being included in the “Rizzetta & Company” invoiced received monthly.
Q: How will current team members of “RASI” be impacted by this change?
A: There will be no impact to employees of “RASI”. Payroll processing, labor, and leadership will remain the same through this process. Their checks will originate from Rizzetta & Company.

Stat., for Construction Services, and §218.76, Fla. Stat. for Non-Construction Goods and Services. A. Dispute between the District and a Provider
If a dispute between the District and a Provider cannot be resolved following resubmission of a payment request by the Provider, the dispute must be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure prescribed in the construction contract, if any. In the absence of a prescribed procedure in the contract, the dispute must be resolved by the procedures specified below.
B. Dispute Resolution Procedures
1. If an Improper Payment Request or Improper Invoice is submitted, and the
Provider refuses or fails to submit a revised payment request or invoice as contemplated by the PPA and these Policies and Procedures, the Provider shall, not later than thirty (30) days after the date on which the last payment request or invoice was Date Stamped, submit a written statement via certified mail to the Agent, copying the District Manager, specifying the basis upon which the Provider contends the last submitted payment request or invoice was proper.
4869-4853-2228.2
2. Within forty-five (45) days of receipt by the Agent and District Manager of
the disputed, last-submitted payment request or invoice, the Agent and/or District Manager shall commence investigation of the dispute and render a final decision on the matter no later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the last-submitted payment request or invoice is Date Stamped.
3. With regard to contracts executed on or after July 1, 2021, if the District
does not commence the dispute resolution procedure within the time provided herein, a Provider may give written notice via certified mail to the Agent, copying the District Manager, of the District’s failure to timely commence its dispute resolution procedure. If the District fails to commence the dispute resolution procedure within 4 business days after receipt of such notice, any amounts resolved in the Provider’s favor shall bear mandatory interest, as set forth in section 218.735(9), Florida Statutes, from the date on which the payment request or invoice containing the disputed amounts was Date Stamped. If the dispute resolution procedure is not commenced within 4 business days after receipt of the notice, the objection to the payment request or invoice shall be deemed waived. The waiver of an objection pursuant to this paragraph does not relieve a Provider of its contractual obligations.
4. Absent a written agreement to the contrary, if the Provider refuses or fails
to provide the written statement required above, the Agent and/or District Manager is not required to contact the Provider in the investigation. In addition, and absent a written agreement to the contrary, if such written statement is not provided, the District may immediately contract with third parties to provide the goods and services subject to the dispute and deduct the costs of such third party purchases from amounts owed to the Provider.
5. The Board shall approve any decision of the District Manager to contract
with a third party which would result in: 1) an expenditure above what is budgeted for the Construction Services or Non-Construction Services; or 2) an expenditure which exceeds the original contract amount for the Construction Services or Non-Construction Services by more than ten percent (10%) or Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000).
6. A written explanation of the final decision shall be sent to the Provider, via
certified mail, within five (5) business days from the date on which such final decision is made. A copy of the written explanation of the final decision shall be provided to the Chairperson of the Board simultaneously with the certified mailing to the Provider.
4869-4853-2228.2
7. If a Provider does not accept in writing the final decision within five (5) days after receipt by the Provider, the District may immediately contract with third parties to provide the goods and services subject to the dispute and deduct the costs of such third party purchases from amounts owed to the Provider. If the costs of the third party purchases exceed the amount the District owes to the Provider, the District may seek to recover such excess from the Provider in a court of law or as otherwise provided in an agreement between the District and the Provider. Nothing contained herein shall limit or affect the District’s ability to enforce all of its legal and contractual rights and remedies against the Provider.
VIII. Purchases Involving Federal Funds or Bond Funds
When the District intends to pay for a purchase with federal funds or bond funds, the District shall make such purchases only upon reasonable assurances that federal funds or bond funds sufficient to cover the cost will be received. When payment is contingent upon the receipt of bond funds, federal funds or federal approval, the public procurement documents and any agreement with a Provider shall clearly state such contingency. (§218.77, Fla. Stat.).
IX. Requirements for Construction Services Contracts – Project Completion; Retainage
The District intends to follow the PPA requirements for construction project completion and retainage, including, but not limited to, §218.735 (7) and (8), Fla. Stat.
X. Late Payment Interest Charges
Failure on the part of the District to make timely payments may result in District responsibility for late payment interest charges. No agreement between the District and a Provider may prohibit the collection of late payment interest charges allowable under the PPA as mandatory interest. (§218.75, Fla. Stat.).
A. Related to Non-Construction Goods and Services
All payments due from the District, and not made within the time specified within this policy, will bear interest, from thirty (30) days after the due date, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month on the unpaid balance. The Vendor must submit a Proper Invoice to the District for any interest accrued in order to receive the interest payment. (§218.735 (9), Fla. Stat.).
An overdue period of less than one (1) month is considered as one (1) month in computing interest. Unpaid interest is compounded monthly. The term one (1) month means a period beginning on any day of a month and ending on the same day of the following month.
4869-4853-2228.2
B. Related to Construction Services
All payments for Construction Services that are not made within the time periods specified within the applicable statute, shall bear interest from thirty (30) days after the due date, at the rate of one percent (1%) per month for contracts executed on or before June 30, 2021, and at the rate of two percent (2%) per month for contracts executed on or after July 1, 2021, or the rate specified by agreement, whichever is greater. §218.735(9), Fla. Stat. The Provider must submit a Proper Payment Request to the District for any interest accrued in order to receive the interest payment. An overdue period of less than one (1) month is considered as one (1) month in computing interest. (§218.74 (4), Fla. Stat.).
Unpaid interest is compounded monthly. The term one (1) month means a period beginning on any day of a month and ending on the same day of the following month.
C. Report of Interest
If the total amount of interest paid during the preceding fiscal year exceeds $250, the District Manager is required to submit a report to the Board during December of each year, stating the number of interest payments made and the total amount of such payments. (§218.78, Fla. Stat.).

Tax - Exempt Bond Services
LLS Tax Solutions Inc. 2172 W. Nine Mile Rd. #352 Pensacola, FL 32534 Telephone: 850-754-0311 Email: [email protected]
November 8, 2021
Trails Community Development District c/o Rizzetta & Company, Inc. 3434 Colwell Avenue, Suite 200 Tampa, Florida 33614 Thank you for choosing LLS Tax Solutions Inc. (“LLS Tax”) to provide arbitrage services to Trails Community Development District (“Client”) for the following bond issue. This Engagement Letter describes the scope of the LLS Tax services, the respective responsibilities of LLS Tax and Client relating to this engagement and the fees LLS Tax expects to charge.
• $10,935,000 Trails Community Development District (City of Jacksonville, Florida) Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2007 SCOPE OF SERVICES
The procedures that we will perform are as follows:
• Assist in calculation of the bond yield, unless previously computed and provided to us.
• Assist in determination of the amount, if any, of required rebate to the federal government.
• Issuance of a report presenting the cumulative results since the issue date of the issue of bonds.
• Preparation of necessary reports and Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) forms to accompany any required payment to the federal government.
As a part of our engagement, we will read certain documents associated with each issue of bonds for which services are being rendered. We will determine gross proceeds of each issue of bonds based on the information provided in such bond documents. You will have sole responsibility for determining any other amounts not discussed in those documents that may constitute gross proceeds of each series of bonds for the purposes of the arbitrage requirements.
TAX POSITIONS AND REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS
Because the tax law is not always clear, we will use our professional judgment in resolving questions affecting the arbitrage calculations. Unless you instruct us otherwise, we will take the reporting position most favorable to you whenever reasonable. Any of your bond issues may be selected for review by the IRS, which may not agree with our positions. Any proposed adjustments are subject to
certain rights of appeal. Because of the lack of clarity in the law, we cannot provide assurances that the positions asserted by the IRS may not ultimately be sustained, which could result in the assessment of potential penalties. You have the ultimate responsibility for your compliance with the arbitrage laws; therefore, you should review the calculations carefully.
The IRS and some states have promulgated “tax shelter” rules that require taxpayers to disclose their participation in “reportable transactions” by attaching a disclosure form to their federal and/or state income tax returns and, when necessary, by filing a copy with the Internal Revenue Service and/or the applicable state agency. These rules impose significant requirements to disclose transactions and such disclosures may encompass many transactions entered into in the normal course of business. Failure to make such disclosures will result in substantial penalties. In addition, an excise tax is imposed on exempt organizations (including state and local governments) that are a party to prohibited tax shelter transactions (which are defined using the reportable transaction rules). Client is responsible for ensuring that it has properly disclosed all “reportable transactions” and, where applicable, complied with the excise tax provision. The LLS Tax services that are the subject of this Engagement Letter do not include any undertaking by LLS Tax to identify any reportable transactions that have not been the subject of a prior consultation between LLS Tax and Client. Such services, if desired by Client, will be the subject of a separate engagement letter. LLS Tax may also be required to report to the IRS or certain state tax authorities certain tax services or transactions as well as Client’s participation therein. The determination of whether, when and to what extent LLS Tax complies with its federal or state “tax shelter” reporting requirements will be made exclusively by LLS Tax. LLS Tax will not be liable for any penalties resulting from Client’s failure to accurately and timely file any required disclosure or pay any related excise tax nor will LLS Tax be held responsible for any consequences of its own compliance with its reporting obligations. Please note that any disclosure required by or made pursuant to the tax shelter rules is separate and distinct from any other disclosure that Client might be required to or choose to make with its tax returns (e.g., disclosure on federal Form 8275 or similar state disclosure).
PROFESSIONAL FEES AND EXPENSES
Our professional fees for services listed above for the three annual bond years ending January 23, 2023, January 23, 2024, and January 23, 2025, is $1,500, which is $500 each year. We will bill you upon completion of our services. Our invoices are payable upon receipt. Additionally, you may request additional consulting services from us upon occasion; we will bill you for these consulting services at a beforehand agreed upon rate.
Unanticipated factors that could increase our fees beyond the estimate given above include the following (without limitation). Should any of these factors arise we will alert you before additional fees are incurred.
• Investment data provided by you is not in good order or is unusually voluminous.
• Proceeds of bonds have been commingled with amounts not considered gross proceeds of the bonds (if that circumstance has not previously been communicated to us).
• A review or other inquiry by the IRS with respect to an issue of bonds.
The Client (District) has the option to terminate this Agreement within ninety days of providing notice to LLS Tax Solutions Inc. of its intent.
ACCEPTANCE
You understand that the arbitrage services, report and IRS forms described above are solely to assist you in meeting your requirements for federal income tax compliance purposes. This Engagement Letter constitutes the entire agreement between Client and LLS Tax with respect to this engagement, supersedes all other oral and written representations, understandings or agreements relating to this engagement, and may not be amended except by the mutual written agreement of the Client and LLS Tax.
Please indicate your acceptance of this agreement by signing in the space provided below and returning a copy of this Engagement Letter to us. Thank you again for this opportunity to work with you.
Very truly yours, AGREED AND ACCEPTED: LLS Tax Solutions Inc. Trails Community Development District
