ELECTION PROCEDURES

Annual Landowner’s Meeting

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 298, Florida Statutes, it is required that a meeting of the Landowners of the District to be held every year during the month of June for the purpose of electing Supervisors and hearing reports of the Board of Supervisors. The Landowners when assembled shall organize by electing a Chairperson who shall preside at the meeting with the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Board of Supervisors to be the Secretary of the Landowners meeting.

Those Landowners present or voting by proxy shall constitute a quorum at the meeting of the Landowners.

Voting

At each Landowners meeting, each Landowner shall be entitled to cast one vote for each and every acre, or any fraction thereof, of land owned by him or her in the District and each Landowner shall be entitled to vote either in person or by representative present with a lawful written proxy.

Registration for Casting of Ballots

The registration process for the casting of ballots by Landowners or their representatives holding their proxies shall be as follows:

At the annual Landowner’s meeting and prior to the commencement of the first casting of ballots for a Board of Supervisor position, each Landowner or their representative, if proxies are being submitted in lieu thereof, shall be directed to register their attendance, and the total number of votes by acreage to which each claims to be entitled, with the District’s Manager, who will be in attendance at the meeting.

At such registration, each Landowner or their representative with a lawful proxy, as the case may be, shall be provided a color coded ballot for each Board of Supervisor position open for election upon which ballot a District representative will fill in the number of votes that such Landowner or their representative is registered to cast for each Board of Supervisor position open for election.

All Landowner proxies shall be collected at the time of registration and retained with the Official Records of the District for subsequent certification or verification, if required.

Nominations for Supervisor

Once the Landowners have organized by electing a Chairman and Secretary to conduct the election, the Chairman will call the nominations for Supervisors from the floor.

Nominations are not required to be seconded. After nominations are received, and the floor has been closed for nominations, those nominated will be asked if they accept the nominations (this will ensure those nominated for Supervisor wish to serve).

Casting of Ballots

Registration and the issuance of ballots shall cease once the Chairperson calls for the commencement of the casting of ballots for the election of a Board of Supervisor and thereafter no additional ballots shall be issued.

Taking each open Board of Supervisor position in the order determined by the Chairperson, the Landowners or their representatives, as the case may be, will be required to cast their ballots using the appropriately colored ballot for that particular Board of Supervisor position. Once the ballots have been cast, the Chairperson will call for a collection of the ballots for that particular open position by the Secretary.

Counting of Ballots

Following the collection of the ballots for a particular Board of Supervisor position, the Secretary or Assistant Secretary shall be responsible for the tabulation of ballots for that position in order to determine the total votes cast for each candidate that is seeking election to that particular open position and for determination of the number of votes cast for each candidate for such position.

The candidate receiving the highest number of votes for the particular Board of Supervisor position for which said votes were cast shall be declared by the Chairperson as elected for such Board of Supervisor position following the Secretary’s submission of the tabulation for that election.

The process shall be repeated for each Board of Supervisor position open for election until balloting has been conducted for all such positions.

Contesting of Election Results

Following the first election and announcement of the candidate receiving the highest number of votes, the Chairperson shall ask the Landowners present or those representatives holding proxies for Landowners, whether they wish to contest the election results. If no contests are received, said election results shall thereupon be certified and the newly elected Supervisor will thereupon take the Oath of Office and be seated as a member of the District’s Board of Supervisors.

If there is a contest, the contest must be addressed to the Chairperson and thereupon the individual casting a ballot that is being contested will be required to provide proof of ownership of the acreage for which they voted at the election within five (5) business days of the Landowner’s meeting. The proof of ownership shall be submitted to the District Manager who will thereupon consult with the District’s general counsel and

together they will review the material provided and attempt to determine the legality of the contested ballots. Once the contests are resolved, the Chairperson shall reconvene the Landowner’s meeting and thereupon certify the election results with the newly elected Supervisor to thereupon take the oath of office and be seated as a member of the Board of Supervisors.
If, following any balloting for a particular Board of Supervisor position, there is a contest of the election results, any subsequent ballot shall proceed but the results of the subsequent ballots for those subsequent Board of Supervisor position(s) shall be on a ”conditional basis“ pending resolution of the challenged ballot results. If the contest over the challenged balloting is resolved and the candidate that was initially announced as receiving the highest number of votes is elected, then the subsequent un- contested ballot(s) shall thereupon be closed and the candidate that received the highest number of votes during the subsequent balloting for a particular Board of Supervisor position shall thereupon take the Oath of Office and be seated as a member of the Board of Supervisors for that particular position.

If, however, there is a contest of the election results of any subsequent balloting, then the procedure for resolving the contest of such election shall be done in the same fashion as that set forth above for each such round of balloting so contested.

Recessing of Annual Landowner’s Meeting

In the event there is a contest of a ballot or of the election, the Landowner’s meeting shall be recessed to a future time certain date and location at which time the election findings on the contest shall be reported in accordance with the procedure above and the newly elected Supervisor(s) shall thereupon take their Oath of Office.

Miscellaneous Provisions

Each Landowner shall only be entitled to vote in person or by means of a representative attending in person and holding a lawful written proxy in order to cast said Landowner’s votes.

Proxies will not require that proof of acreage ownership be attached. Rather, proof of ownership must be timely provided by the holder of the proxy if the proxy is contested in accordance with the procedure above.

PROOF OF PUBLICATION

District Manager Michael McElligott offered Proof of Publication showing that notice of the Landowners’ Meeting was published in the Palm Beach Post and in the Scripps Treasure Coast on May 21, 2021, and May 28, 2021, as legally required.

Also in attendance were several members of the public.

CONSIDER ADOPTION OF ELECTION PROCEDURES

Ms. Viator explained the purpose of the annual Landowners’ Meeting and the process for the election. Ms. Viator asked that the landowner names and the number of votes be read into the record. Mr. McElligott read the landowners’ names and their number of votes (see sign in sheet attached) into the record.

There was an objection by Ruth Holmes, the attorney for Martin County. Her objection was that proxy with Martin County votes was not recognized. Both Mr. Gazza and Mrs. Viator explained the position of Pal-Mar WCD in regard to the lawsuit with Martin County over Martin Count’s unpaid assessments and how, by statue, that precludes Martin County from voting their acreage. Mrs. Viator also went into explanation of the affect of the appeal that is currently outstanding. There was a long discussion back and forth between Mrs. Viator and Mrs. Holmes on their differing positions on the matter. Mrs. Viator again stated the stator reasons why Martin County can not vote in the Pal- Mar WCD landowners meeting.

PAL-MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT LANDOWNERS’ MEETING
JUNE 11, 2021

There was then a motion made by Mr. Gazza, seconded by Mr. Berman to adopt the Election Procedures as presented. That motion passed.

ELECTION OF SECRETARY FOR LANDOWNERS’ MEETING

Mr. Gazza nominated that Mr. McElligott serve as the Recording Secretary for the Landowners’ Meeting.

There being no other nominations, Mr. McElligott was elected as the Recording Secretary for the meeting by acclamation.

Nomination of Candidates

Chairman Berman called for nominations of candidates for the three-year term. Mr. Gazza nominated landowner Lewis Lolmaugh.

There was also a nomination for Regina Wood, however Mrs. Viator explained that since Mrs. Wood is not a landowner, she is only a proxy holder for another landowner, she cannot be nominated. The person is required by statue to be a landowner to hold any of the 3 landowner seat, and it is one of those 3 landowner seats that we are taking nominations for today.

There were no other nominations.

Casting of Ballots

Since there was only 1 nomination, there was no need for paper ballots. Instead, Mr. McElligott took a show of hands for those voting for Mr. Lolmaugh. The vast majority of landowner voted yes for Mr. Lolmaugh.

Ballot Tabulations

Mr. McElligott announced there was no need to tabulate the ballots as Mr. Lolmaugh was the only nominee.

Certification of the Results

PAL-MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT LANDOWNERS’ MEETING
JUNE 11, 2021

Ms. Viator asked if there were any objections to the election results.

Mrs. Holmes, Martin County Attorney stated that according to her research, Mr. Gazza and Be A Man Buy Land do not actually own any lands, that instead they only hold the mortgage on those lands. Mr. Gazza addressed this objection by stating that their research is wrong, he owns several acres in his name personally, and that he owns thousands of acres as the owner of Be A Man Buy Land, LLC.

There were no other objections.

A motion was made by Mr. Gazza, with a second by Mr. Beaton, to certify the election results. That motion passed. Mr. Berman as Chairman certified the results of the election with Mr. Lolmaugh receiving a three-year term as Supervisor of the Pal Mar Water Control District.

OTHER BUSINESS
Receive Treasurer’s Report

Mr. McElligott presented the Annual Treasurer’s Report that was in the agenda package noting that the District collected 189% of budgeted revenues and spent 212% of the budgeted expenses from the previous year resulting in a next shortfall of $26,009 for the previous fiscal year. Mr. McElligott noted that the net shortfall was due to ongoing litigation cost.

The Board received the report with no additional questions or comments.

A motion was then made by Mr. Gazza, with a second by Commissioner Marino to accept the Treasurer’s Report. That motion passed.

Receive Engineer’s Report

Mr. Higgins presented the Annual Engineer’s Report that was in the meeting book. Mr. Higgins noted the updated “purpose” of the District which was changed by the Board at a previous meeting to more accurately reflect the districts special act. Commissioner Marino asked about the non-specificness of the purpose language. Mr. Higgins explained that this was per the direction of the Board. Mr. Higgins also gave a summary of each paragraph in the report.

There was a motion by Mr. Gazza, with a second by Commissioner Marino to receive the report with no additional questions or comments. That motion passed.

PAL-MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT LANDOWNERS’ MEETING
JUNE 11, 2021

A motion was then made by Mr. Sardinha, and with a second by Commissioner Valeche to accept the Engineer’s Report as amended. That motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Gazza suggested the District keep the same policy that supervisors do not get paid. With little discussion, a motion was then made by Mr. Gazza and seconded by Commissioner Marino to keep supervisor payments at $0 per meeting. That motion passed.

LANDOWNERS’ COMMENTS

Mrs. Regina Wood, holding a proxy, was asked for further explanation as to why Martin County cannot vote. District staff explained the situation of the missed assessment payments by Martin County, the corresponding lawsuit, and the current appeal outstanding.

Engineer – Status Report

Mr. Higgins noted that his items have separate agenda items later in the meeting.

District Manager Report

Mr. McElligott announced the annual Landowners Meeting for June 2, 2022. There was some discussion, and it was determined that the meeting would need to be move due to conflicts. After some discussion, the Board agreed to hold the landowners meeting on the June 27, 2022. Mr. McElligott said he would try to reserve our normal location of the Martin County Commission Chambers at our normal time of 10am, but that if there are any issues, his second option will be the Blake Library.

Field Maintenance Report

Mr. Gaza updated the Board. They are still plugging away at the mowing now that he has the 6-inch rule regarding the banks. There were no other questions from the Board.

OLD BUSINESS

Consider the Proposal Question for an Attorney General’s Opinion Regarding Pal-Mar WCD Granting of Easements

Pal-Mar WCD counsel Mr. Doney presented the Attorney General question to the Board that his office prepared. He noted that he believes the presented question is reflective of request made by the Pal-Mar WCD Board, but that other entities can also submit their own request related to this question. Mr. Gazza asked, to be clear, if Pal-Mar WCD sends the present question to the AG, it does not prevent martin County or Palm Beach County from sending their own request. Mr. Doney stated that is correct. Mr. Gazza then made a motion to approve the presented question be sent for an Attorney General’s Opinion. Before there was a second, Commissioner Marino opened up discussion on the item, and both Commissioner Jenkins and Commissioner Marino stated they were leaning to vote no based on their county’s attorneys’ offices. There were comments from the Assistant County Attorney for Palm Beach County Daren Liser stated that they object to the

PAL MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING
APRIL 14, 2022

language in the analysis included with the question. Mr. Gazza asked if the Counties were allowed to submit their analysis separate from the Pal-Mar WCD request and the answer was yes, but the counties believe their analysis should be included as opposed to the analysis that was presented. Mr. Berman noted that if Pal-Mar WCD were to include the analysis presented by the counties, we would be asking the Attorney General if Pal-Mar WCD has the right to do something while giving analysis that would suggest they don’t have that right, which would seem to be nonproductive. Mrs. Holmes with the Martin County Attorney’s Office also spoke and echoed much of what was said by the Palm Beach County Attorney’s Office. She also noted that Martin County is worried that if Pal-Mar WCD does grant the easement they are asking the Attorney General to give an opinion on, that it will exacerbate problems that are already occurring in Pal-Mar WCD. There was a long discussion that followed on the merits of the possible easement that could be granted with the Attorney General Opinion. After some more discussion, Commissioner Marino made a new motion to direct Pal-Mar WCD attorneys to work with the Palm Beach County Attorney and Martin County Attorney to come up with a more inclusive opinion with suggestions from all sides to bring back to the Board. There was a second from Commissioner Jenkins. That motion failed 2-2.

The original motion from Mr. Gazza to accept the Attorney General Opinion quest as presented dies for a lack of a second.

The item is to remain on the agenda for further discussion.

Mr. Berman did read from a letter from Martin County regarding Cocina WCD. Mr. Berman pointed out that that while Pal-mar WCD has not granted an easement, Pal-Mar WCD owns the land, and they are not currently keeping anyone off of it.

Update Regarding Martin County Litigation

Mrs. Viator explained to the Board that the court ruled in Hobe St. Lucie CD’s favor in the appeal, reversing the original ruling by the original court. At this point SFWMD and Martin County have petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to take the case. We are currently waiting on the Florida Supreme Court to decide if they will accept the case or not.

Discussion Regarding Mowing Proposal

Mr. McElligott presented the Board with the 1 mowing proposal received. Mr. McElligott also reminded the Board that Mr. Lolmaugh was tasked with working with any entity wanting to put forth a proposal. Mr. McElligott passed out a brief email from Mr. Lolmaugh since Mr. Lolmaugh had to unexpectedly miss today’s meeting. During its review and discussion on the proposal, the Board decided that this item should be tabled

PAL MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING
APRIL 14, 2022

until Mr. Lolmaugh and/or the entity presenting the proposal could be at the meeting to answer some questions.

NEW BUSINESS

Discussion Regarding Two New Potentially Illegal Culverts Installed

Mr. Higgins referred to a memo handed out showing 2 recent culverts constructed that cross into Pal-Mar WCD from outside the Pal-Mar WCD boundaries. Mr. Higgins commented that the first is coming in from the Trail Side. Mr. Higgins stated that the culvert is in Trail Side, but the access ramp comes into Pal-Mar WCD. Mr. Higgins informed the Board that both Martin County and SFWMD are looking into the culvert. It was decided to let Martin County and SFWMD handle that one for now.

The second culver is coming Corey Beaton’s property. There was some discussion regarding the history with Mr. Beaton and him installing culverts. The Board and professional all agreed that this culvert should have required a permit from Pal-Mar WCD before being installed. Commissioner Marino asked if Pal-Mar WCD does, or should have a policy from granting of permit to landowners outside the District boundaries? After some discussion, the Board directed Mr. Higgins and staff to prepare a policy regarding granting permits to outside landowners, and to bring that policy back to the Board in the future to consider.

Discussion Regarding Future Meeting

Mr. McElligott reminded the Board that the reason we were meeting in the Martin County Commission Chambers and had several Martin County Sheriff personal present was due to a threat made by a landowner against a Pal-Mar WCD Board member. Mr. McElligott updated the Board that the individual has been dealt with by law enforcement and the feeling is there is no longer an immediate threat. There was some discussion on if there needed to be any changes to future meetings. The consensus of the Board was that the Pal-Mar WCD meeting could resume at our normal location at Old Jupiter Town Hall after the June Landowners meeting which is historically held in the Martin County Commission Chambers. The May meeting will be cancelled due to Board member conflicts.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

Financial Report

Mr. McElligott pointed out the financial report in the Board and answered any question of the Board.

PAL MAR WATER CONTROL DISTRICT REGULAR BOARD MEETING
APRIL 14, 2022

Consider Invoices

The invoices were approved, as presented, on a motion made by Mr. Gazza, seconded by Commissioner Marina, and the motion carried 4-0.

LANDOWNER ITEMS

Mr. Kevin Cutting asked if the easement being discussed as part of the Attorney General’s Opinion request would be open to the public. Mr. Doney explained that the Attorney General Opinion does not specify the language of the easement that would be issued, the Board would do that if it were determined they have the power to issue the easement. Mr. Cutting explained that while the purpose of the easement may be for Pal- Mar WCD to access the works of the District, there could be unintended uses of that easement, and he asked that the Board issue the easement in such a way as to limit the unintended uses as much as possible.

Mr. Cutting also asked about Pal-Mar WCD’s liability if there is an accident in Pal-Mar WCD. Mr. Berman reminded everyone that there are no roads in Pal-Mar WCD for there to be an accident on. Also, Mr. Berman reminded everyone that Pal-Mar does not have any policing powers.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

There were no comments from the Public.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

There were no further comments from the Board.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, at 11:24 am a motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Commissioner Marino, with a second by Commissioner Jenkins. The motion carried unanimously
