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 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 appropriate 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 or eligibility to vote the acreage for which they voted at the election within five (5) business days of the Landowner’s meeting. The proof of ownership or eligibility to vote 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.

Owners whose assessments have not been paid for the previous year are not entitled to vote (See section 298.12 F.S.)

Minor, insubstantial Amendments include Amendments to the Plan, which replace, relocate, reconstruct, or improve an upgrade in District facilities and operations consistent with the adopted Plan, which do not require increasing assessments beyond the maximum authorized by law, or amendments to engineers reports which do not increase the total assessment of benefits.
