Speaker: Most of the residents walk the community right now, we haven't thought about adding additional parking. Speaker: It was an item we Brought up toward the end. My concern was if someone did decide to drive over there, and where they would park their vehicles to keep the road open. Speaker: Most people like to walk, even for the events most people will walk to where the event is. Chair Linda Gonzalez: People with kids don't like to walk. Member Lee Golditch: That's kind of my point. Nicholas Hines: There's no intention to add parking at the moment because that area is close to our home, close to the lake. it's in the middle of the community so the idea is people as they do now will walk in this area and enjoy the green area, it shouldn't be an issue to add any parking. They can park on the side like they do for now, they go and they play in this area . Member Lee Golditch: It's not there right now, it's at the clubhouse right now so you can move it, that's not a requirement. Chair Linda Gonzalez: Any other questions?

Thank you. Thank you very much. Also on the dais with us is Lisa Chong , our Chief Financial Officer and Assistant City Manager. Thank you so much for joining us. Today we're going to review the budget for fiscal year 2026-2027 as recommended by staff. And we also have a package of information regarding Amendment 3. Mr. City Attorney, if we could, let's start off the meeting . We've never had one quite like this before. We've had many budget workshops before, but we've never had one quite like this one. Could you please begin the discussion and issue the special rules that we have for today's meeting? With your permission, Mayor, I'd be happy to try.

And what it tells us is that a local government essentially may not expend or authorize the expenditure of, and a person or group may not accept public funds for a political advertisement or any other communication sent to electors concerning an issue, referendum, or amendment, including any state question that is subject to a vote of the elect ors. This subsection applies to a person or a person acting on behalf of a local government, irrespective of whether the communication is limited to a factual informat …

Madam clerk, I've reviewed the minutes from the approval last month's agenda and have-- do approve it. Thank you. Everyone in the audience, if you-- this is your first time here. Basically, how we handle this is that staff will go first. We call them in the order in which you came, then we'll deal with the cases that still left on the agenda after you all leave. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions of staff or tell me anything you wish. And then based upon what I hear today this morning, I will make a decision. And if I find you in violation of the code, I will give you a reasonable period of time to come into compliance before any fines are assessed. There is also an administrative fee that gets assessed, which I don't have any authority or the special registered does have an authority to waive. And with that, we'll call the first meeting in order. We'll begin with number 13, page 7, case number 250-200447.

Okay, so this is the particular section of the code right now. It requires a minimum of 25 acres under certain circumstances, it can be less than 25 acres.

The time is 9.04. We'll call this meeting to order. We could all stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Those who are going to testify this morning, if you could please stand, raise your right hand, be sworn. Just very briefly, the call, the cases through the secretary, staff will present their case, then you will have an opportunity to ask any questions, present any evidence, testimony you wish this morning. The rules of procedure are pretty lax here, so anything you have to say or tell me, I will take into consideration. If you're here just to ask for additional time to come into compliance, we can get you out of here quicker. Please silence any cell phones if you have them. Otherwise, call the first case. Oh, I'm sorry. Got to approve the minutes from the last meeting, which I have reviewed and approved. We're going to start with number 15 on the agenda, page 8, case 251-103-701, owner Sergio Duran.
