With a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering and over 18 years of extensive experience in construction on diverse sectors, I have developed a strong foundation in project management, operations, and customer satisfaction. I believe my technical expertise, leadership skills, and strategic management experience will make me an invaluable asset to your team.

My career began with eight successful years at Samsung Electronics, where I served as an Account Project Manager in the LATAM division. In this role, I managed multiple high- profile accounts coordinating with clients and cross-functional teams to ensure timely, efficient delivery of projects, My technical background in electronics, combined with my project management skills, allowed me to understand complex project needs and deliver solutions that met both customer and company expectations.

Following my time at Samsung, I transitioned to Home Depot, where I spent a decade as a District Installation Manager. In this position, I managed large teams, coordinated installations across various locations and consistently ensured that projects met Home Depot’s high standards. My role required a keen attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to lead large teams toward achieving shared goals. Under my leadership, our district achieved substantial improvements in efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Currently, I am the General Production Manager at Istueta Roofing, where I oversee all production operations for both residential and commercial projects. In this position, I manage complex workflows, ensuring timely project completion, high-quality workmanship, and strong client relationships. My role requires a strategic approach to planning, resource allocation, and team leadership, all of which are aligned with Istueta Roofing commitment to excellence.

The Oaks Center 2501A Burns Road
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
Re:	Century Park South Community Development District District Engineer’s Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Pursuant to Section 9.21(b) of the Master Trust Indenture as it relates to Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2020.
Dear Ms. Perez,

This statement is being made pursuant to Section 9.21(b) of the Master Trust Indenture between Century Park South Community Development District (the “District” or “CDD”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee, dated February 1, 2020, as it relates to the Special Assessment Bonds, Series 2020 pertaining to the East and West Parcel Projects.
The East and West Parcel Projects have been completed. The drainage system in the East Parcel was conveyed to the District for ownership, operation, and maintenance and a drainage easement was granted to the CDD (ORB 33534, PG 3478). The land and the fixtures within Tracts A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L including sidewalks, roadways, curbs and gutters, drainage systems, pavement markings and signs, landscaping and irrigation, and entrance features were conveyed to the District (ORB 34052, PG 1694). The water and sewer systems in both parcels were conveyed to Miami-Dade County. The blanket easement that was granted to the District over the entire West Parcel for construction and infrastructure acquisition purposes was terminated in ORB 34098 PG 3881.

Based on periodic visits and inspections, and review of District documents, we find that the CDD public infrastructure currently owned by the District in both the East and West parcels is being maintained in good working order and condition. We find that, for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, the District’s proposed amounts budgeted for maintenance expenditures are sufficient to properly maintain, repair and operate the infrastructure owned by, and under the care of, the CDD.
Exhibit 1 depicts the location of the District; Exhibit 2 illustrates the boundary of the CDD, as well as the property and easements granted to the CDD.
The District currently carries general liability; hired non-owned auto; employment practices and public officials liability insurance under Agreement No. 100123449 with Florida Insurance Alliance and has budgeted sufficient funds for its renewal.

MEMORANDUM
TO:	District Manager

FROM:	Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A. District Counsel

DATE:	July 12, 2024

RE:	2024 Legislative Update

As District Counsel, throughout the year we continuously monitor pending legislation that may be applicable to the governance and operation of our Community Development District and other Special District clients. It is at this time of year that we summarize those legislative acts that have become law during the most recent legislative session, as follows:

Chapter 2024 – 136, Laws of Florida (HB 7013). The legislation establishes a 12- year term limit for members of popularly elected bodies governing independent special districts, excluding terms starting before November 5, 2024, and excluding certain districts. Supervisors of Community Development Districts (CDDs) do not have term limits. The act provides that the boundaries of independent special districts may only be changed by general law or special act. The law revises criteria for declaring special districts inactive, to include those with no revenue, expenditures, or debt for five consecutive fiscal years, and extends the objection period for proposed inactive status declarations from 21 to 30 days. The law stipulates that a special district deemed inactive can only use funds to service outstanding debt and fulfill existing bond covenants and contractual obligations. Additionally, the law repeals section 163.3756, F.S., to align the regulations for Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) with those applicable to other special districts. The bill repeals sections 165.0615 and 190.047, F.S., which allow independent special districts and CDDs, respectively, to convert to a municipality without legislative approval.

Performance Measures and Standards

The legislation also mandates special districts to establish goals, objectives, performance measures, and standards for each program and activity they undertake by October 1, 2024, or the end of their first full fiscal year, and to report annually on their achievements and performance. Furthermore, by December 1 of each subsequent year, each district must produce an annual report detailing the goals and objectives it has accomplished, the performance measures and standards used for evaluation, and any goals or objectives that were not met. The annual report must be published on the District’s website.

For independent special fire control districts, the bill requires reporting on volunteer firefighter training by October 1 annually.

The legislation reduces the maximum ad valorem millage rate for mosquito control districts from 10 mills to one mill, allowing an increase to two mills via referendum, and requires submission of work plans and budgets to receive state funds. Lastly, the law prohibits the creation of new Neighborhood Improvement Districts (NIDs) after July 1, 2024, and mandates a performance review of existing NIDs by September 30, 2025.

The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 80, Laws of Florida (HB 433). The legislation prohibits political subdivisions from establishing, mandating, or requiring employers, including those contracting with political subdivisions, to meet heat exposure requirements not mandated by state or federal law. The law clarifies that it does not limit the authority of political subdivisions to establish heat exposure requirements1 for their direct employees. Effective September 30, 2026, the law amends Florida’s wage and employment benefits law, prohibiting political subdivisions from controlling or affecting wages or employment benefits provided by vendors, contractors, service providers, or other parties through purchasing or contracting procedures. In addition the law prohibits using wages or employment benefits as evaluation factors or awarding preferences based on them. The law removes the ability of local governments to require a minimum wage for certain employees under contract terms and states that these revisions do not impair contracts entered into before September 30, 2026. Lastly, this act prohibits local governments from adopting or enforcing regulations on employee scheduling, including predictive scheduling, by private employers except as expressly authorized or required by state or federal law, rule, regulation, or federal grant requirements. Except as otherwise provided, the effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 204, Laws of Florida (HB 149). The legislation raises the maximum limit for continuing contracts under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) from an estimated per-project construction cost of $4 million to $7.5 million, with an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Starting July 1, 2025, and annually thereafter, the Department of Management Services (DMS) is mandated to adjust the maximum allowable amount for each project in a continuing contract according to the change in the June-to-June CPI for All Urban Consumers, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. DMS is required to publish the adjusted amount on its website. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 202, Laws of Florida (HB 59). The legislation amends section 720.303, F.S., requiring Homeowner Associations (HOAs) to provide a physical or digital copy of the HOA’s rules and covenants to all members by October 1, 2024. This requirement extends to all new members upon joining and includes providing updated copies whenever amendments to the rules or covenants occur. HOAs are authorized to set standards for the distribution method and timing for these documents. The law also stipulates that HOAs maintain certain official records, such as the HOA’s declaration of covenants and any amendments, within the state for at least seven years. These records must be accessible to parcel owners for inspection or copying, either physically or electronically. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024

Chapter 2024 – 221, Laws of Florida (HB 1203). The legislation establishes educational requirements for community association managers (CAMs) and HOA directors. By January 1, 2025, HOAs with 100 or more parcels must post certain official records on their website or application. It allows parcel owners to request a detailed accounting of any amounts owed to the HOA, and if not provided, the board forfeits any outstanding fine under specific conditions. The bill prohibits HOAs and their committees from imposing requirements on the interior of structures not visible from the frontage, adjacent property, common areas, or golf courses. The law also forbids the need for HOA or committee approval for central air-conditioning, heating, or ventilating systems if not visible from the frontage, adjacent property, common area, or golf course, and if they are similar to approved systems. Criminal penalties are introduced for HOA officers, directors, or managers accepting kickbacks. Additionally, HOAs cannot prevent homeowners from installing vegetable gardens and clotheslines in non-visible areas, and certain HOA election voting activities are classified as a first-degree misdemeanor. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 44, Laws of Florida (HB 621). The legislation establishes section 82.036, F.S., creating a process for removing unauthorized persons (squatters) from residential property. Property owners or their authorized agents can file a verified complaint with the county sheriff, who, upon verifying the complainant's identity and ownership, must serve notice to the occupants to vacate immediately. The law grants immunity to the sheriff and property owner for any property loss or damage unless the removal is wrongful. It also establishes a civil cause of action for wrongful removal, allowing the wrongfully removed party to seek damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 147, Laws of Florida (SB 7020). The legislation amends section 1.01, F.S., the statute defining “registered mail,” to broaden the range of acceptable delivery services for meeting statutory registered mail requirements in the state. The new definition of "registered mail" now explicitly includes any delivery service by the U.S. Postal Service or a private delivery service that provides proof of mailing or shipping and proof of delivery, confirmed by a receipt signed by the addressee or a responsible person at the delivery address. Additionally, "return receipt requested" is defined to encompass delivery confirmation services by the U.S. Postal Service or private delivery services that offer similar proof of delivery. These amendments are remedial in nature and apply retroactively. The effective date of this act is May 6, 2024.

Chapter 2024 – 263, Laws of Florida (HB 321). This legislation specifies that any individual who intentionally releases, organizes the release of, or causes the release of balloons inflated with lighter-than-air gas commits an act of littering and is subject to corresponding penalties2. However, children aged six or younger who engage in such activities are exempt from noncriminal littering infractions and associated penalties. The bill removes the exemption for balloons deemed biodegradable or photodegradable by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation rules. It also eliminates the provision allowing citizens to petition a circuit court to prevent the release of ten or more balloons. Additionally, the bill revises definitions in section 403.413, F.S., the Florida Litter Law, to include:

2 The penalty for littering generally corresponds to the amount of litter discarded. ≤ 15 pounds or ≤ 27 cubic feet = Noncriminal infraction, punishable by a civil penalty of $150. > 15 pounds but ≤ 500 pounds or > 27 cubic feet but ≤ 100 cubic feet = First-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. > 500 pounds or > 100 cubic feet = Third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years’ imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. It is the duty of all law enforcement officers to enforce Florida’s Litter Law.

“Dump,” specifying that it encompasses the intentional release, organization of the release, or causation of the release of balloons.
“Litter,” explicitly adding balloons to the definition.
The effective date of this act is July 1, 2024.
