WELCOME
Welcome to the official website for the Palms of Terra Ceia Bay Community Development District (CDD). This site is funded by the CDD in an effort to help educate the general public about the services provided by the District, and to highlight the other agencies involved in the day-to-day operations of the community. Palms of Terra Ceia Bay CDD (the "District") Disclosure: Please be advised that "the District', a local unit of special purpose government created under Florida law, has constructed and is responsible for the maintenance of certain improvements, infrastructure and facilities within the community. The District financed this construction through the sale of tax-exempt bonds, a form of public financing. As a result, and in accordance with applicable federal and state law, all District owned improvements, infrastructure and facilities are and shall remain open and accessible to the general public. Should you have any questions on this matter or any other general District issue, please feel free to contact the District Manager.
HURRICANE UPDATE IN THE DISTRICT
We hope everyone is safe and well from hurricane Milton. Our biggest priority firsthand was getting the hazardous trees off of roadways, and making sure the district was operational. Our next steps in this process are assessing damages, repairs, supply ordering, etc. We are working closely with the district vendors on Hurricane cleanup and getting the community back up to standards. We ask for your patience through this process given it’s going to take time to recover and if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to (813) 344-4844.
SUPERVISORS REPORT
JANUARY 2024
The CDD held its regular meeting at 2PM, January 14, 2025, at the Club House. Field Manager Ortland reported streetlights have been repaired, except for #23 which has a short in-the-ground wire. Wall lights are being manufactured as there was no stock available, and they will be installed sometime in February. The 6-foot donated bench has not been received as yet but will be installed as soon as it is received. A 4-foot bench has also been ordered, and it, too, was purchased with resident donations.
The Pier Repair Project is in progress. We are simultaneously working with FEMA for funding and an engineer for design. Updates will be provided as we proceed.
Charlie Weidner was honored as outgoing CDD supervisor with a plaque and a gift certificate. He has been an integral part of our CDD and will be missed.
Residents spoke to disregarding our rules at the pier and police ambivalence. District Manager Ferguson spoke with Police Chief Taylor who said he would address the matter with his policemen. Also addressed was the fact that FPL still has not come to repair all of the lights that were broken during the hurricane. The CDD has called repeatedly to no avail. We ask residents to help and call as well. When they were bombarded with calls the last time we had downed lights, they finally responded. The number to call is 1-800-4-OUTAGE or 1-800-468-8243. Thank you for your help.
The Annual Mayor’s meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2025, at 2PM. Please plan on attending this important meeting as it will be a new mayor addressing the community. We hope to see you at our next meeting which will be held at 2pm, on February 11.
Judi O’Connor, Vice Chairman
