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

The CDD held its regular meeting at 2PM, December 10, 2024, at the Club House.

- We welcome Janet to the CDD Board of Supervisors.
- Field Manager Ortland discussed the progress of FEMA negotiations. The new street lights are being installed beginning this week on Terra Ceia Bay Circle and then continuing on Terra Ceia Bay Blvd. New lights on the walls at the community’s entrance and exit are being ordered and installed in the near future as well.
- The pier has been opened to a point where our engineer has deemed it safe to walk. Residents have been very receptive to the ability to finally be out on the pier.
- A new bench has been ordered to replace the concrete bench on Terra Ceia Bay Blvd. which was destroyed in the hurricane. A very generous donation from a resident has paid for this bench. Look for new benches placed strategically on the roadways in the future.
- Front gates are now operational. 30-year-old wiring has been replaced.
- FPL lights are still down. Henry will be checking with them regarding whether we are paying an electric bill for those lights and check once again when they will be out to fix.
- The meeting concluded refreshments and hors d’oeuvres were served, and residents and CDD members celebrated an early Christmas.
We wish you the merriest Christmas and the happiest New Year. We will see you next year on January 14th at 2 p.m.
