Trout Creek Community Development District Board of Supervisors
2806 North Fifth Street Unit 403
St. Augustine, FL 32084

Re: Termination of District Management Services, Dear Board of Supervisors:
This letter shall serve as Rizzetta & Company, lncorporated's ("Rizzetta") written notice of termination, effective February 27, 2026, pursuant to Section XI of the Contract for Professional District Management Services dated October 1, 2024 between Trout Creek Community Development District ("District") and Rizzetta. In addition, this letter also serves as our official written notice of termination pursuant to Section 4 of the Dissemination Agent Agreement dated October 6, 2020 between the District and Rizzetta and notice of termination pursuant to Section X of the Contract for Professional Technology Services dated August 16, 2019 between the District and Rizzetta Technology Services, Inc., subsequently assigned to Rizzetta on December 15, 2021.

This decision comes after careful consideration of recent developments within the Board of Supervisors. It has become evident that certain board members are intent on replacing the current district manager, not due to performance deficiencies or failure to meet contractual obligations, but rather for the sake of implementing change itself. This pattern mirrors the recent turnover of other district consultants and reflects a concerning trend in governance approach.

Over the course of our engagement, we have provided professional district management services grounded in nearly 40 years of industry experience. Our recommendations and counsel have been based on proven best practices, regulatory compliance requirements, and intimate understanding of the complexities inherent in district management. Despite this expertise, it has become clear that certain supervisors prefer to prioritize input from sources with significantly less experience and technical knowledge of the industry's intricate operational, financial, and regulatory frameworks.

We believe that effective district management requires a collaborative relationship built on mutual respect and trust in professional expertise. When board leadership chooses to discount seasoned professional judgment in favor of less informed perspectives, it compromises both the working

relationship and, ultimately, the district's ability to operate efficiently and in compliance with applicable requirements.

Rizzetta will continue to provide District Management Services, Dissemination Agent Services and Technology Services through February 27, 2026 as a gesture of good faith and to facilitate a clean month-end separation. Although the notice provision of these agreements requires 60-day written notices of termination, this extended timeline will allow for proper closure of the fiscal month and ensure all financial reporting and operational matters are appropriately concluded and transitioned.

We will work diligently during the transition period to ensure an orderly transfer of responsibilities and to minimize disruption to district operations. All outstanding matters will be documented, and we will cooperate fully with any successor district manager.

We wish the district well in its future endeavors.

Sincerely,

William J. Rizzetta President

FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES

THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.

This sworn statement is submitted to 	Trout Creek Community Development District	
(print name of the public entity)

by		 (print individual's name and title)

I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with any public entity or with any agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or contract for goods or services to be provided to any public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state or of the United States and involving antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.

I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(b), Florida Statutes, means a finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any federal or state trial court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1, 1989, as a result of a jury verdict, nonjury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means:
A predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or

An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm’s length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.

I understand that a "person" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to enter into a binding contract and which bids or applies to bid on contracts for the provision of goods or services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public entity. The term "person" includes

those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in management of an entity.
Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)

Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989.
The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989.

The entity submitting this sworn statement, or one or more of its officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1, 1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of Florida, Division of Administrative Hearings and the Final Order entered by the Hearing Officer determined that it was not in the public interest to place the entity submitting this sworn statement on the convicted vendor list. (attach a copy of the final order)

IT SHALL BE THE CONTINUING RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR/VENDOR EXECUTING THIS PUBLIC ENTITY CRIME AFFIDAVIT TO VERIFY, PRIOR TO AND DURING THE CONTRACT TERM, THAT NONE OF THE SUBCONTRACTORS/SUPPLIERS UTILIZED FOR THIS BID/QUOTE HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF A PUBLIC ENTITY CRIME SUBSEQUENT TO JULY 1, 1989. IN THE EVENT IT IS LATER DISCOVERED THAT A SUBCONTRACTOR/SUPPLIER HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF A PUBLIC ENTITY CRIME, THE CONTRACTOR/VENDOR SHALL SUBSTITUTE THE SUBCONTRACTOR/SUPPLIER WITH ANOTHER WHO HAS NOT RECEIVED A CONVICTION. ANY COST ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SUBSTITUTION SHALL BE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR/VENDOR.

However, the Proposer chosen for the service(s) described in the Project Manual should expect to contract under the following terms:

AGREEMENT FOR DISTRICT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

This Agreement (“Agreement”) dated 	, by and between

TROUT CREEK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT, a local unit of

The services to be provided under this Agreement shall commence at 12:01 AM ET on January 1, 2026 (“Effective Date”).

RECITALS

Whereas, the District is a local unit of special-purpose government established pursuant to the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, as codified in Chapter 190, Florida Statutes (“Act”), by ordinance adopted in St. Johns County, Florida, for the purpose of planning, financing, constructing, operating and/or maintaining certain infrastructure; and

WHEREAS, the District desires to enter into an agreement with Manager to provide district management services all as further set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Services” or “District Management Services”) and Manager has agreed to provide such Services; and

Whereas, the District and Manager warrant and agree that they have all right, power and authority to enter into and be bound by this Agreement.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the recitals, agreements, and mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1.	Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals so stated are true and correct and by this reference are incorporated into and form a material part of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.	SCOPE OF SERVICES. Manager agrees to provide the Services as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

SECTION 3.	Fees and Terms of Services; Term.

All Services will be completed on a timely basis in accordance with the District needs and statutory requirements.

The District agrees to compensate the Manager in accordance with the Schedule of Fees set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Payment shall be made in equal monthly installments at the beginning of each month and may be amended annually as evidenced by the annual budget (“Annual Budget”) approved by the Board of Supervisors of the District (“Board”). All invoices are due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt.

The initial term of this Agreement commences on Effective Date, and continues until September 30, 2026, unless terminated earlier by either Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Thereafter this Agreement shall automatically renew each Fiscal Year (i.e., October 1 to September 30th of the following year) of the District, unless otherwise terminated by either Party in accordance with Section 6 below. The District may consider price adjustments each twelve (12) month period based on documented changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or other objective economic indicators and the planned workload of the District to be performed during the next twelve (12) month period. Any price or fee adjustments must be approved by the Board in its adopted or amended Annual Budget or written proposal presented to the Board.

SECTION 4.	Indemnification.

Manager Indemnification. The Manager agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the District and its officers, agents, employees, successors, assigns, members, affiliates, or representatives from any and all liability, claims, actions, suits, liens, demands, costs, interest, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, judgments against the District, or loss or damage, whether monetary or otherwise, arising out of, wholly or in part by, or in connection with the Services to be performed by Manager, its subcontractors, its employees and agents in connection with this Agreement, including litigation, mediation, arbitration, appellate, or settlement proceedings with respect thereto. Additionally, nothing in this Agreement requires Manager to indemnify the District for the District’s own negligence, actions, or omissions. Manager shall indemnify the District only for claims arising out of or relating to Manager's negligence, actions, or omissions in the performance of Services under this Agreement.

District Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law and subject to the limitations of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, the District agrees to be responsible for its own negligent or intentionally wrongful acts or omissions.

District will not indemnify Manager for Manager’s conduct, breach, negligence, omissions, actions or inactions. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed

exclusive of any other rights to which the Manager may be entitled and shall continue after the Manager has ceased to be engaged under this Agreement.

Obligations under this section shall include the payment of all settlements, judgments, damages, liquidated damages, penalties, forfeitures, back pay awards, court costs, arbitration and/or mediation costs, litigation expenses, attorneys’ fees, paralegal fees, expert witness fees (incurred in court, out of court, on appeal, or in bankruptcy proceedings), any interest, expenses, damages, penalties, fines, or judgments against the District.

SECTION 5.	Limitations on Governmental Liability. Nothing herein
shall be construed to waive or limit the District’s sovereign immunity limitations of liability as provided in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, or other applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any third party for the purpose of allowing any claim which would otherwise be barred under the Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity or by operation of law.

SECTION 6.	TERMINATION.

This Agreement may be terminated as follows: (1) By the District for “good cause,” which shall include misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, material breach or dereliction of duties by the Manager which termination may be immediate upon written notice; or (2) By the Manager or District, without cause, upon ninety (90) days written notice to the other Party.

The Manager shall be liable for any additional costs incurred by the District as a result of the termination of any contract, including this Agreement, based on Manager’s failure to comply with the E-Verify requirements referenced in this subsection.

Addendum No. 2
Request for Proposals for District Management Services and/or Financial Compliance and Accounting Support Services
Date:	December 5, 2025 To:	Prospective Proposers

This Second Addendum (“Addendum”) to the Request for Proposals for District Management Services and/or Financial Compliance and Accounting Support Services (“RFP”) answers questions received after Addendum No. 1 dated November 26, 2025, was disseminated, requests proposers to answer finance-related questions, and clarifies the option for virtual appearances at District workshops. This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the RFP. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Addendum, Addendum No. 1, and the RFP, the terms of this Addendum shall control, provided that if there is any conflict between the terms of this Addendum and Addendum No. 1, the later dated document shall control.

Question 1: Is it the intent for District Management to be the point person/central hub and oversee operations of the District?
Overall, yes. Onsite management is the first stop for many items and the District Manager is not expected to do onsite management work. However, the District is looking for a District Manager that will offer contract administration support, provide recommendations for hours and staffing, will be familiar with onsite operations and the District as a whole, and will assist the District in negotiating with vendors and developing scope(s) of work when appropriate.

Question 2: Will there be a possibility that you may want to reduce workshops? Should our proposal anticipate 12 meetings/12 workshops going forward?
The Board has found thus far that with the number of issues facing the community, workshops assist in making for more efficient meetings. The anticipation is with time and the more significant issues resolved, the District can reduce the meeting load but for at least the next fiscal year, the proposers should assume 12 meetings and 12 workshops. A price per workshop or additional meeting is suggested via the last addendum sent to proposers.

Question 3: What is the current volume of public records?
While always subject to change, there have not been a huge volume of records requests. There are a number of records, however, and it is important for District Management to get up to speed on pending items with the District and be familiar with the location and status of records to successfully onboard. This includes understanding and making budget and financial recommendations, financial reporting, and other related duties. The Board requires a monthly financial report on all accounts, including but not limited to current balances and available funds in each account.

Question 4: Who runs the meetings?
For the last year, the Chair has run the meetings. The Board would consider District Management running the meetings or supporting the Chairperson in the conduct of efficient meetings.

Question 5: For Zoom, is audience attending and asking questions/participating or is it just to hear? The Board desires virtual streaming options so residents can meaningfully listen/watch and ask questions of the Board. The Board may hire another third-party contractor to moderate the public comment period virtually and post it on a platform to be determined if needed. However, the Board requests that proposers include virtual attendance capability as an option in their District Management proposals. The Board is interested to know if there is an option too to stream virtually via an app for your phone. It does not need to necessarily fall on District Management, but the Board is interested in having it as an option for pricing.

Question 6: What is the scope of onsite oversight desired?
The Board wants the District Manager to be familiar with onsite operations and provide support to onsite staff as a quality control measure, but management is not anticipated to manage onsite staff personally. The District desires a hands-on, proactive and creative manager that is invested in the community.

Question 7: Who owns the roadways within the District? 
The Trout Creek Community Development District owns the roadways within the community, which includes roadways that provide access to St. Johns County schools and a large St. Johns County owned park complex that is to be constructed, along with the opportunities and challenges such improvements present to the District.

Question 8: Could I respectfully request a copy of the HOA/CDD agreements and/or cost share  agreements along with any applicable current management, website and amenity contracts? https://kelawgrouppllc.sharefile.com/f/foab0331-37f7-4102-8277-01da1f86ba5f

Crosswalk near school – I was notified today that the permit has been approved (I don’t have a copy of the permit yet, but it should be in the mail)
Per the Boards direction, I also reached out to the attorney to ask that they contact the developer to facilitate the construction
I’ve reached out to Vallencourt to see if they would commit to resurfacing the asphalt if the Geotech testing confirmed it was bad tack coat causing the issues…waiting on a
reply.
Consideration of flashing signs at 3-crosswalks at roundabout
From a project 2 years ago, I have pricing that shows $4,500 per crossing (2 signs per crossing)…I’ve reached out to get current pricing, but would “round up” to
$5k per crossing as a budget estimate

Re: Landscape Maintenance Service Report
Below is the landscape maintenance report for Trout Creek CDD Ph 1. Weekly Maintenance
Maintenance crew is focused on completing our weekly maintenance program within ph1. Our detail personal has been busy preforming weekly
weed control within plant beds, removing fallen limbs from tree canopies, removing vine that exposes through plant materials.

Phase 1 is looking clean going into the winter season. Our team will continue to create plant separation within plant beds to accommodate the spring flush in 2026.
Irrigation
From a mechanical stand point the ph1 irrigation system is fully operational. Our team has repaired all vales that were not operating properly and uncovered all valve boxes (most were buried up to 12” in dirt/leaf debris). Currently we have all turf zones operating on battery timers, and will be holding on repairing the 2wire until the entry construction is complete. There are far to may zones that are affected by the construction area to bring the 2wire path online. Bringing the path online will only cause more issues each time the 2wire is compromised by construction.

We are looking watching the construction weekly at the entry to determine time line on connecting the 2wire path for phase 1. As it looks, we could
potentially connect in Jan2026.

Agronomics
Fert/chem has completed all turf fertilization, post weed applications, and pre-m in all turf/shrub areas within ph1. December report will so the win-ter prep applications applied.
If you have any questions after reviewing our report, please contact us. Sincerely,

Re: Oak and Maple Tree plantings
Ruppert Landscape proposes to furnish all materials, labor, and equipment necessary to perform the following Landscape Enhancement at Trout Creek CDD Phase 2. Specifically, the scope of work shall be as described here in.

Scope of Work: This proposal is to plant 21 trees and add bubblers to each tree. We will plant 11 4 in Live oaks and 10 4 inch red maples

Plants:

Plant Description	Quantity	UM/Size	
Live Oak	11	4 inch	
Red Maple	10	4 inch	

Miscellaneous:

Irrigation/Bubbler

Description

Total price* :	$28,439	Initial

Installation of plant material, sod, and seed shall be in accordance with generally excepted state/local industry specifications and guidelines.
Proposal is based on Ruppert Landscape completing the full scope of work in one mobilization, unless otherwise indicated.

Ruppert Landscape will contact the appropriate Utility Locate service for the project area and have all major utilities located prior to the start of our work. The customer will be responsible for locating any private utilities on the property such as site lighting and irrigation systems.
Ruppert Landscape is not liable for damage to, or resulting from, undisclosed subsurface utilities and structures that are not properly identified. If hand digging is required to avoid utilities, Ruppert Landscape will notify the customer immediately and bill for the additional costs on a time and materials basis.
Proposal is based on reasonable access to all areas by construction equipment such as backhoes and skidsteer loaders. If access is restricted, Ruppert Landscape will notify the customer immediately and will bill for additional costs on a time and materials basis.
Proposal is based on all work areas being free of major subsurface obstructions such as rock, hardpan, clay, water, contaminated soils and miscellaneous construction debris that conflict with the completion of our work. If hidden obstructions are encountered, Ruppert Landscape will notify the customer immediately and will bill the additional costs incurred on a time and materials basis.

Ruppert Landscape will not be responsible for damages to existing landscape or structures due to actions or conditions beyond our control including but not limited to: Acts of God, weather, neglect, vandalism, theft, etc.
Proposal based on receiving curb lane access provided by Owner/General Contractor as may be required for Ruppert Landscape installations.
All newly installed plant material shall be covered by a one time, six month replacement warranty, which does not cover acts of God or vandalism, and is contingent upon proper watering and maintenance being provided for by the owner.
Initial watering will be provided upon installation;
Subsequent watering is to be provided by the property owner unless preapproved by the owner as an additional service to be billed on a time plus material basis, at the rates noted below.
Hand-watering by garden hose from a private water source on-site is
$60.00 per hour.
Hand-watering by hose from a metered public source (hydrant) is $70.00 per hour.
Tank-truck watering, from a metered public source (hydrant), is $100 per hour.
Subsequent watering will be provided by Ruppert Landscape on a time and materials basis according to the above-provided rates which supersede all previously provided rates. Frequencies and schedules will be determined by site conditions.
Additional watering:	YES   NO    
Terms and Conditions
Pricing does not include state and local taxes but will be invoiced where applicable.

Payment shall be requisitioned upon completion of each rotation and be due, in full, within fifteen (15) days.
Owner agrees to pay for any direct or indirect fees or set-up costs related to the Contractor’s processing of invoices through a third-party servicer, with any such fees or costs being added to the Owner’s invoice as an additional sum owed to the contractor.
A late charge of 1.5% per month will be charged on all amounts 30 days past due. A $30 fee will apply to any returned check. Should Owner choose to pay by credit card, third-party fees associated with this payment type will be covered by the addition of a Convenience Fee, which shall be added to the total transaction amount (the current Convenience Fee is 3.0%). We recommend making payments via check or via ACH, as neither of these forms of payment have any additional costs associated. In addition, ACH offers many of the same conveniences as paying by credit card, but without the added cost.
This proposal shall only be valid for Thirty (30) days. After that time unit prices will need to be readjusted.
If this proposal meets your approval, please sign and return one copy.

My contact information is shown below. If you have any questions please contact me. Thank you.
