PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS 10.8.1. 22-0990 Request to Speak from Bill Rigby re: Community Development Districts Due Process Recommended Action: No Action Required Attachments: Public Discussion Request B. Rigby Mr. Bill Rigby appeared before the Board on behalf of the West Wabasso Progressive Civic Club with complaints about the process which was followed in the approval of the LP Community Development District (CDD) for the development of Liberty Park (LP). He referred to Florida Statute Chapter 190, and stated his organization felt left out of the planning and was not asked to provide input. County Attorney Dylan Reingold commented this was not the forum to re -litigate the two decisions regarding Liberty Park and the LP CDD. Vice Chairman Adams recounted the notifications, workshops, and public hearing that preceded the final approval of the LP CDD, and pointed out the infrastructure benefits for the Wabasso neighborhood. Mr. Rigby continued to assert that the process lacked transparency. Chairman Earman offered Mr. Rigby and his organization a meeting with the Community Development staff so that West Wabasso's needs could be articulated. Mr. Rigby suggested incorporating Wabasso into a Village, thereby allowing long-time residents a measure of control over development in the community. County Administrator Jason Brown added that the County had a Wabasso Corridor Development Plan which was created in 2017 with input from the community. Mr. Rigby asserted the Wabasso corridor and his concerns were being dismissed. He closed by informing the Board there were rules and regulations regarding the approval process for the establishment of CDDs. No Action Taken or Required C. PUBLIC NOTICE ITEMS 11.
