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.

The CDD held its regular meeting at 2PM, March 10, 2025, at the Club House.
Plants were replaced by our landscaper on Terra Ceia Bay Blvd. at the request of an owner at Fairway Oaks. There seems to be a question as to who will pay for those plants. Fairway Oaks claims that even though the plants were mostly on their property and the owner offered to pay for them, or a percentage, their HOA cannot allow payment of funds from an owner for an item on HOA property. Supervisor Swetland offered to speak with the landscaper and see if something can’t be worked out.
District Manager Ferguson brought three paint layouts with color samples for the gatehouse. Supervisor Gard was not happy with any of the colors and made a motion that the selection of colors be tabled until more layouts could be reviewed. The motion not being seconded did not pass, and the remaining supervisors made a color choice so the painting of the gatehouse can now proceed.
Our new gatehouse manager has quit, so we are once again looking for a new person. Amanda has already interviewed two people, so it is possible that we will have someone ready to go when Alan leaves.
We are presently negotiating with our pier contractor to work out a payment plan, so that we don’t completely deplete our reserves by paying for the pier in one payment. A bank loan would cost us thousands of dollars, and the Board has considered several options for payment preferring not to borrow the money. We still have not heard from FEMA, so there is always a chance, even though it is a slight one, that we may still receive money for the pier.
A resident remarked about pier debris in the mangroves. A reclamation barge reclaimed large pieces a while ago, leaving some pieces still lodged in our mangroves. We asked Suncoast, our mangrove trimmer, if they could remove it, but they have not gotten back to us.
Next meeting will be one you do not want to miss. The Mayor and his staff will be attending the CDD Board Meeting. They will be here to talk about City plans and take questions from residents. Please plan to attend….2PM, April 14th.
Thank you for attending our meetings, we appreciate your support. We’ll see you next month.
Judi O’Connor, Vice Chairman
