PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA 400) Not Used REGULAR AGENDA 500) Quarterly Fiscal Year to Date Expenditure Details Finance Director Holly Queen presented the quarterly expenditure report. The Committee noted that expenditures were generally in line with budget. Two items were identified as slightly elevated: a south fountain motor repair, and an irrigation account that ran higher than normal due to a leak that has since been repaired. Landscape Manager Kevin Maddox noted that the fountain motor repair may be recoverable under manufacturer warranty, as the issue involved a winding defect. 501) Tuscora Monument Enhancement Proposals Operations Director Brian Dunigan presented three proposals received in response to the Tuscora Entrance Renovation scope of work. Baker Commercial Landscaping submitted a proposal totaling $44,008.19 but did not include a landscape plan schematic or lighting component as required by the scope. Bright Arbor submitted a fully compliant proposal totaling $43,017.50, inclusive of landscaping and a programmable color-changing FX Luminaire Luxor lighting system. Nature's Care submitted a compliant proposal totaling $42,036.00, also inclusive of revised plantings and a lighting solution. Representatives from Bright Arbor presented their proposal in detail, addressing plant selection, seasonal bloom scheduling, sod type, site preparation including regrading, lighting placement and wiring, and the app-based Bluetooth control system. Mr. Maddox raised technical questions regarding maintenance of traffic (MOT) certification, regrading scope in the median, and the structure of post-installation lighting controls, all of which were addressed by the Bright Arbor representatives. 7 CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA TUSCAWILLA LIGHTING AND BEAUTIFICATION DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETING MINUTES – MAY 20, 2026 PAGE 3 of 4 Baker Commercial Landscaping's proposal was noted as incomplete due to both the landscape schematic and lighting component being absent from the response submitted.

VOTE: BIVONA (AYE); JONES (AYE); PAUL (AYE); MIERICKE (AYE) MOTION CARRIED 4-0. 502) Budget 2027 Prep Finance Director Holly Queen presented two budget models for fiscal year (FY) 2027 direction. The original financial forecast, previously presented on March 4, 2026, deferred the North Fountain Rehabilitation to FY 2031 while building a reserve fund. The reworked financial forecast, developed by Chairperson Bivona, accelerated the fountain rehabilitation to an earlier timeline with assessment amounts set at $193 per parcel for FY 2027, and defer building a reserve fund. Chairperson Bivona noted that the Committee has not historically maintained a reserve balance and that accelerating the fountain project allows more projects to be completed sooner. Finance Director Queen confirmed that both models included the same proposed assessment amount for FY 2027 and that the key decision for the Committee was the timing of the fountain project and the approach to fund balance. Director Dunigan reminded the Committee that while their recommendation would be incorporated into the FY 2027 budget, the final decision rests with the City Commission. MOTION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH PROPOSAL TWO (2) [THE REWORKED FINANCIAL FORECAST] TO MOVE THE FOUNTAIN [PROJECT] UP TO AN EARLIER TIMELINE. MOTION BY VICE-CHAIRPERSON JONES. SECONDED BY COMMITTEE MEMBER MIERICKE. DISCUSSION. VOTE: BIVONA (AYE); JONES (AYE); PAUL (AYE); MIERICKE (AYE) REPORTS Chairperson Bivona inquired about the status of the main entrance lighting and other median projects, identified as remaining priority projects for the fiscal year. Landscape Manager Maddox confirmed these items are on the work plan and that quotes will be solicited from vendors based on a staff-prepared scope. Director Dunigan indicated that a similar process for the Tuscora project would be followed, with the goal of presenting proposals at the August 19, 2026 meeting and completing work before the end of September.
