SOX Erosion Solutions: System Installation Experience
One of the predecessors of SOLitude Lake Management, Lake and Wetland Management,
helped introduce the SOX Erosion Solutions system to Florida more than a decade ago. SOLitude is now the largest and most experienced Certified Service Provider (CSP) of the SOX system in
Florida and throughout the country. Our teams have restored hundreds of thousands of feet of lake shorelines with the SOX system. We have developed many of the installation techniques and continue to find new ways to use this innovative technology.

Meet SOLitude’s Team:
Our team of highly experienced, qualified installers for your project include; the Erosion Business Line Operations Manager, Jennifer Bustos-Fitz with fourteen years of experience in the SOX erosion systems, as well as, twenty-eight years in the lake management industry, the Field Foreman, Garth Lloyd, with three years of experience in the SOX erosion systems, as well as,
twenty years in the dredge industry, the Field Supervisor, Elange Jeune with fourteen years of experience in the SOX erosion systems, as well as twenty-five years experience in the irrigation industry, and our installation specialist Roberto, Maria, Llyeson, Fredy, Alejandro, and Reynoldo. These team members range from fourteen years experience to a minimum of three years of experience.

Understanding of Project: Lake Maintenance Easement - Priority 1 and 2

We understand that the areas in question are occurring throughout the community totaling 2,497’ of repairs. As provided by the CDD, Priority 1 will include 1,662’ x 12’ SOX, two (2) 16x16 Flexmats, Priority 2 will include 835’ x 12’ SOX systems, both priorities include a floating turbidity barrier, and sod installation.
Our team including our Manager and one Field Crew Foreman attended the June 19, 2024 site inspection meeting with the engineering team to discuss and review the project. Based on our recent meeting, and with the understanding of the scope, a 12’ SOX system will be utilized to restore the shoreline, and create a more gradual slope.

The SOX System / DredgeSOX ® shall consist of 12-foot wide material that is:
an open containment system with reinforced structural rope channels on all four sides, manufactured as a double layered high-density polyethylene knitted mesh (not woven and not a closed tube);
a modular system that can accept dredge material or locally sourced approved fill, sand, soils;

be conducive to be fully vegetated, supporting roots within the body of the system by placing sod over the top, seeding within, or planting directly into the system; and
be integrated with stable substrate upland from the area of eroded instability and designed to transfer stability from stable ground behind the system to the newly
formed shoreline.
Available in varying single unit sizes of 50-200 foot lengths and 6-24 foot widths. Must be able to maintain any shape or size to create a continuous connected shoreline system.
The SOX system will be backfilled with highly-compactable fill (sand and soil). The fill material will be both dredge spoils from the lake, and imported fill. Dredge spoils will be obtained using our Truxor Amphibious Dredge equipment
The SOX system will hold 25 yards per 50’ of 12’ SOX.
The top and bottom of the SOX system will be anchored into a firm substrate using 2”x2”x24” wooden stakes as required. Anchoring will occur a minimum of 3 feet on center, or more as required. Anchor rope will be 1/4” Diamond Braid or equivalent.
Once the top row is tied off to anchors, 2-inch water pumps will be used to pack and set the sand and soil substrate in place.
After the ShoreSOX system is fully installed, it will be covered with Bahia sod. Service includes initial watering of sod during installation.
The estimated duration of the construction phase will be approximately 5 weeks for priority 1 and approximately 2 weeks for priority 2.
Bank regrading and resloping is not included in our bid.

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

1 A standard to control an employee’s exposure to heat or sun and mitigate its effects. This includes employee monitoring, water consumption, cooling measures, acclimation periods, informational notices, heat exposure programs, first-aid measures, protections for reporting heat exposure, and related reporting and recordkeeping.

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.
