Adjournment MINUTES OF MEETING LUCERNE PARK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the Lucerne Park Community Development District was held on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at the Office of Prime HOA, 375 Avenue A SE, Winter Haven, Florida. Present and constituting a quorum: Bobbie Shockley Chairperson Joan Griffin Vice Chairperson Lindsey Roden Assistant Secretary Catherine Gonzalez by Zoom Assistant Secretary Rolando Lopez Assistant Secretary Also present were: Katie O’Rourke District Manager, GMS Savannah Hancock District Counsel, Kilinski Van Wyk Chace Arrington by Zoom District Engineer, Dewberry Allen Bailey Field Manager, GMS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Roll Call Ms. O’Rourke called the meeting to order. Four Board members were present in person constituting a quorum. SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Comment Period Ms. O’Rourke opened the meeting for public comments. There were no public comments at this time, and the next item followed. THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Approval of Minutes of the February 15, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting Ms. O’Rourke presented the minutes from the February 15, 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting. The Board had no changes to the minutes. On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Griffin, with all in favor, the Minutes of the February 15, 2026 Board of Supervisors Meeting were approved. FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2026-04 Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Setting a Public Hearing Ms. O’Rourke reviewed Resolution 2026-04 and approved the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget, setting the public hearing for June 18, 2026. The Board agreed to change the meeting location from the Holiday Inn to the Prime location to avoid potential scheduling issues and allow for more space. Ms. O’Rourke explained that approving the resolution set the maximum assessment cap, allowed required steps under Florida statutes to move forward, and kept the District in compliance with the June 15 deadline. The proposed budget did not include an increase in resident assessments. The budget was discussed, and Ms. O’Rourke noted a small increase in administrative costs, mostly field expenses, and some adjustments within amenity costs. The playground lease will be fully paid off, which reduced expenses, and additional funds were added for landscape replacements due to the freeze damage. A shade structure project and a reserve study were also included. Ms. O’Rourke stated that the budget could still be adjusted before final adoption, but the assessment amount could not be increased beyond what was approved. On MOTION by Ms. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Lopez, with all in favor, Resolution 2026-04 Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Setting a Public Hearing for June 18, 2026, was approved. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2026-05 Relating to General Election Qualifying Period and Procedure Ms. O’Rourke reviewed Resolution 2026-05, which was the process for two seats transitioning to resident elections in November. It notified the Supervisor of Elections and let residents know the seats would be open if they wanted to run. On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Roden, with all in favor, Resolution 2026-05 Relating to General Election Qualifying Period and Procedure, was approved. SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Discussion of Shade Structure Ms. O’Rourke reviewed the shade structure and was informed that due to underground pipes and utilities, the original design wouldn’t work in the planned location. The only option Playworx could offer was a much smaller structure that would only cover a few chairs, but it was still going to cost around $25,000, which didn’t seem worth it. Also discussed was using umbrellas as a cheaper alternative, but there were concerns about safety, especially with wind and the risk of them becoming projectiles if not handled properly. Other areas of the site weren’t ideal either due to slopes or additional utility conflicts. It was noted that the District would still owe about $1,000 for the utility location work that had already been completed. The Board was disappointed with the options and made a motion to terminate the agreement with Playworx. On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Mr. Lopez, with all in favor, Terminating the Agreement with Playworx for the Shade Structure, was approved. SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Discussion of Cambridge Dr. Property Encroachments Ms. O’Rourke discussed the encroachment updates. One property had corrected the issue by moving the pool out of the easement, but there were still questions about grading and turf in the swale, so that one was tabled for follow-up. Another property had submitted a variance request but hadn’t actually fixed the fence issue, so the Board agreed to move forward by sending a formal letter from counsel. Discussed were issues with mailed notices being returned and staff resent them and extended the compliance deadline to April 30. A few properties had made progress, like lifting fences, but hadn’t completed the paperwork, mainly due to notarization delays or lack of response. It was clarified that if owners don’t sign the required agreements, the District can require removal and potentially pursue legal action. It was noted that they’d been giving residents plenty of time and flexibility, but if there’s still no compliance by early summer, they’ll likely need to move forward with stronger enforcement like injunctions. EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports A. Attorney Ms. Hancock reminded everyone to complete their annual ethics training by watching the videos her office sent out and to email her once it’s done so she can keep it on file. She gave a quick legislative update, noting that the session had ended. The big takeaway was that sovereign immunity limits are increasing, which could impact the District’s insurance and potential claims. The other major update was a new law allowing CDD Supervisors who are elected by residents to be recalled after serving part of their term. Ms. Hancock explained that the process involves petitions, signature verification, and potentially a recall election, and that it takes some effort to actually carry out. If a Supervisor is removed, the seat gets filled through the normal appointment process. Ms. Hancock mentioned that the law goes into effect July 1, is getting a lot of attention, and doesn’t apply to developer-appointed seats. B. Engineer Mr. Arrington had nothing much to report. He mentioned that he would check on the property to see if the swale had been modified by confirming with the engineers in the field. C. Field Manager’s Report i. Consideration of Proposal for Playground Mulch – ADDED Mr. Bailey reported that the landscaping vendors were doing well and staying current, and they were checking plants for freeze damage with scratch tests and new growth inspections. Weekly mowing was set to resume April 1st as the grass starts growing faster. Pool and janitorial services were being maintained, including trash and dog stations. They were also working with a homeowner on Cambridge regarding a paint spill and helping them find the right vendor to fix it properly. Mr. Bailey mentioned that the playgrounds high-traffic areas would be refreshed soon, with a proposal coming. The Cambridge Drive swales were still under review to get everyone into compliance. He added that there were some smaller plants and monument bushes that didn’t survive the freeze, and the vendor was reviewing what needs to be replaced. Mr. Bailey stated that there was a proposal to add black rubber mulch to the playground where it had worn down from heavy use. It was about $160 to supply, spread, and level it out. ii. Consideration of Proposal for Plant Replacement – ADDED iii. Consideration of Proposal for Common Area Mulch– ADDED There was a question about whether approvals would be made all at once or separately, and it was clarified this was just for the mulch. On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Ms. Shockley, with all in favor, the Proposal for Playground Mulch, was approved. Mr. Bailey stated there was a proposal to replace about 54 smaller plants, including lilies, that were damaged by the freeze, totaling $2,840. It was noted this was actually a pretty good outcome compared to other freeze damage. He confirmed there was still room in the landscape budget to cover it since not much had been spent yet. On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Griffin, with all in favor, the Proposal for Plant Replacement, was approved. Mr. Bailey stated the Board had approved a $2,025 mulch refresh for the common areas, deciding to go ahead and do it now while the plant replacements were already underway instead of waiting until the usual May timing. There was a discussion about the swales and pond areas along Cambridge. It was clarified that most of those areas aren’t the CDD’s responsibility, only a small section near the road that the landscaper already maintains. The larger pond and surrounding areas belong to another community/owner, and some portions fall under county right-of-way. He noted that they needed to make sure the HOA was given the correct information and directed to the proper party (like the county or public works) for any maintenance concerns like weeds. On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Griffin, with all in favor, the Proposal for Common Area Mulch, was approved. D. District Manager’s Report i. Approval of Check Register Ms. O’Rourke went over the check register for February 6 through March 5, totaling $27,761.43. She mentioned the detailed invoice summary was included right after it. She confirmed everything had been reviewed for accuracy and asked for approval. ii. Balance Sheet and Income Statement On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Ms. Griffin, with all in favor, the Check Register was approved. Ms. O’Rourke stated that they had reviewed the unaudited financials through January 31st, which were provided for informational purposes, and no questions were raised. NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business Ms. O’Rourke asked if there was any other business. There being no comments, the next item followed. TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisors Requests Ms. O’Rourke asked for any Supervisors' requests. There being no comments, the next item followed. ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Closed Security Session Ms. O’Rourke closed the meeting for the security session at this time. On MOTION by Ms. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Lopez, with all in favor, the Motion to Terminate Securitas was approved. On MOTION by Ms. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Lopez, with all in favor, Nation Security Option #2, was approved. On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Ms. Shockley, with all in favor, Both Current Demands Proposals, were approved. TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Ms. Shockley, with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned. ________________________________ ________________________________ Secretary / Assistant Secretary Chairman / Vice Chairman LUCERNE PARK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CITY OF WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 LUCERNE PARK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CITY OF WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 1-2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 3-6 BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Government-Wide Financial Statements: Statement of Net Position 7 Statement of Activities 8 Fund Financial Statements: Balance Sheet – Governmental Funds 9 Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet – Governmental Funds to the Statement of Net Position 10 Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances – Governmental Funds 11 Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities 12 Notes to Financial Statements 13-21 REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance – Budget and Actual – General Fund 22 Notes to Required Supplementary Information 23 OTHER INFORMATION Data Elements Required by Florida Statute 218.39(3)(c) 24 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS 25-26 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 218.415, FLORIDA STATUTES, REQUIRED BY RULE 10.556(10) OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA 27 MANAGEMENT LETTER REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 10.550 OF THE RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA 28-29 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Supervisors Lucerne Park Community Development District City of Winter Haven, Florida Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Lucerne Park Community Development District, City of Winter Haven, Florida (“District”) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The District’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and budgetary comparison information be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Other Information Included in the Financial Report Management is responsible for the other information included in the financial report. The other information comprises the information for compliance with FL Statute 218.39 (3) (c) but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 3, 2026, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. April 3, 2026 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Our discussion and analysis of Lucerne Park Community Development District, City of Winter Haven, Florida (“District”) provides a narrative overview of the District’s financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Please read it in conjunction with the District’s Independent Auditor’s Report, basic financial statements, accompanying notes and supplementary information to the basic financial statements. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The liabilities of the District exceeded its assets at the close of the most recent fiscal year resulting in a net position deficit balance of ($1,606,696). • The change in the District’s total net position in comparison with the prior fiscal year was $90,960, an increase. The key components of the District’s net position and change in net position are reflected in the table in the government-wide financial analysis section. • At September 30, 2025, the District’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $938,020 an increase of $106,296 in comparison with the prior fiscal year. The total fund balance is restricted for debt service, non-spendable for prepaid items, assigned to capital reserves, and the remainder is unassigned fund balance which is available for spending at the District’s discretion. OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as the introduction to the District’s financial statements. The District’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) governmentwide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Financial Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the District’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all the District’s assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources with the residual amount being reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods. The government-wide financial statements include all governmental activities that are principally supported by assessments. The District does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activities of the District include general government (management), maintenance and recreational functions. Fund Financial Statements A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The District, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. The District has one fund category: governmental funds. OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a District’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the District’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The District maintains three governmental funds for external reporting. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general fund, debt service, and capital projects fund, all of which are considered major funds. The District adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget. Notes to the Financial Statements The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of an entity’s financial position. In the case of the District, liabilities exceeded assets at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Key components of the District’s net position are reflected in the following table: 2025 2024 Current and other assets $ 954,856 $ 8 45,864 Capital assets, net of depreciation 3,716,114 3 ,880,121 Total assets 4,670,970 4 ,725,985 Current liabilities 135,334 1 34,804 Long-term liabilities 6,142,332 6 ,288,837 Total liabilities 6,277,666 6 ,423,641 Net position Net investment in capital assets (2,426,218) (2,408,716) Restricted 337,134 3 11,974 Unrestricted 482,388 3 99,086 Total net position $ (1,606,696) $ ( 1,697,656) SEPTEMBER 30, NET POSITION The District’s net position reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, land improvements, and infrastructure); less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. These assets are used to provide services to residents; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the District’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS (Continued) The restricted portion of the District’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position may be used to meet the District’s other obligations. The District’s net position increased during the most recent fiscal year. The majority of the increase represents the extent to which ongoing program revenues exceeded the cost of operations and depreciation expense. Key elements of the change in net position are reflected in the following table: 2025 2024 Revenues: Program revenues Charges for services $ 871,944 $ 8 71,435 Operating grants and contributions 20,054 2 1,953 Capital grants and contributions 3,126 2,823 General revenues Unrestricted investment earnings 10,138 - Miscellaneous 375 150 Total revenues 905,637 8 96,361 Expenses: General government 114,523 9 4,918 Maintenance and operations 262,789 2 51,138 Recreation 146,930 1 37,607 Interest 290,435 2 99,383 Total expenses 814,677 7 83,046 Change in net position 90,960 1 13,315 Net position - beginning (1,697,656) (1,810,971) Net position - ending $ (1,606,696) $ ( 1,697,656) FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, CHANGES IN NET POSITION As noted above and in the statement of activities, the cost of all governmental activities during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, was $814,677. The costs of the District’s activities were funded by program revenues. Program revenues were comprised primarily of assessments during the current fiscal year. In total, expenses increased over the prior year primarily as the result of an increase in general government and maintenance expenses. GENERAL BUDGETING HIGHLIGHTS An operating budget was adopted and maintained by the governing board for the District pursuant to the requirements of Florida Statutes. The budget is adopted using the same basis of accounting that is used in preparation of the fund financial statements. The legal level of budgetary control, the level at which expenditures may not exceed budget, is in the aggregate. Any budget amendments that increase the aggregate budgeted appropriations must be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Actual general fund expenditures did not exceed appropriations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION CAPITAL ASSETS At September 30, 2025, the District had $4,372,142 invested in capital assets for its governmental activities. In the government-wide financial statements depreciation of $656,028 has been taken, which resulted in a net book value of $3,716,114. More detailed information about the District’s capital assets is presented in the notes of the financial statements. CAPITAL DEBT At September 30, 2025, the District had $6,130,000 Bonds outstanding and $12,332 in notes payable. More detailed information about the District’s capital debt is presented in the notes of the financial statements. ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR’S BUDGETS AND OTHER EVENTS It is anticipated that the general operations of the District will remain fairly constant.

Depreciation of capital assets is not recognized in the governmental fund financial statements, but is reported as an expense in the statement of activities. See notes to the financial statements LUCERNE PARK COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CITY OF WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND REPORTING ENTITY Lucerne Park Community Development District (the "District") was created by City of Winter Haven Ordinance O-18-50 pursuant to the Uniform Community Development District Act of 1980, otherwise known as Chapter 190, Florida Statutes on June 11, 2018. The Act provides among other things, the power to manage basic services for community development, power to borrow money and issue bonds, and to levy and assess non-ad valorem assessments for the financing and delivery of capital infrastructure. The District was established for the purpose of financing and managing the acquisition, construction, maintenance and operations of the infrastructure within the District. The District is governed by the Board of Supervisors ("Board"), which is composed of five members. The Board of Supervisors are elected by qualified landowners within the District. The Board of Supervisors of the District exercise all powers granted to the District pursuant to Chapter 190, Florida Statutes. At September 30, 2025, two of the Board members are affiliated with Lucerne Park Investment, LLC (“Developer”). The Board has the responsibility for: 1. Assessing and levying assessments. 2. Approving budgets. 3. Exercising control over facilities and properties. 4. Controlling the use of funds generated by the District. 5. Approving the hiring and firing of key personnel. 6. Financing improvements. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statements. Under the provisions of those standards, the financial reporting entity consists of the primary government, organizations for which the District is considered to be financially accountable, and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the District are such that, if excluded, the financial statements of the District would be considered incomplete or misleading. There are no entities considered to be component units of the District; therefore, the financial statements include only the operations of the District. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements include both government-wide and fund financial statements. The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment. Operatingtype special assessments for maintenance and debt service are treated as charges for services; and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other items not included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Assessments are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are to be recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due. Assessments Assessments are non-ad valorem assessments on benefited property within the District. Operating and maintenance assessments are based upon the adopted budget and levied annually at a public hearing of the District. Debt service assessments are levied when Bonds are issued and assessed and collected on an annual basis. The District may collect assessments directly or utilize the uniform method of collection under Florida Statutes. Direct collected assessments are due as determined by annual assessment resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors. Assessments collected under the uniform method are mailed by the County Tax Collector on November 1 and due on or before March 31 of each year. Property owners may prepay a portion or all of the debt service assessments on their property subject to various provisions in the Bond documents. Assessments and interest associated with the current fiscal period are considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. The portion of assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. The District reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund The general fund is the general operating fund of the District. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Debt Service Fund The debt service fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for the annual payment of principal and interest on long-term debt. Capital Projects Fund This fund accounts for the financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major infrastructure within the District and to accumulate funds for maintenance reserves. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the government’s policy to use restricted resources first for qualifying expenditures, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity Restricted Assets These assets represent cash and investments set aside pursuant to Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Deposits and Investments The District’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits (interest and non-interest bearing). The District has elected to proceed under the Alternative Investment Guidelines as set forth in Section 218.415 (17) Florida Statutes. The District may invest any surplus public funds in the following: a) The Local Government Surplus Trust Funds, or any intergovernmental investment pool authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act; b) Securities and Exchange Commission registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating from a nationally recognized rating agency; c) Interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; d) Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The State Board of Administration’s (“SBA”) Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (“Florida PRIME”) is a “2a-7 like” pool. A “2a-7 like” pool is an external investment pool that is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company, but nevertheless has a policy that it will, and does, operate in a manner consistent with the SEC’s Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, which comprises the rules governing money market funds. Thus, the pool operates essentially as a money market fund. The District has reported its investment in Florida PRIME at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. Securities listed in paragraph c and d shall be invested to provide sufficient liquidity to pay obligations as they come due. The District records all interest revenue related to investment activities in the respective funds. Investments are measured at amortized cost or reported at fair value as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. Capital Assets Capital assets which include property, plant and equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks and similar items) are reported in the government activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Property, plant and equipment of the District are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Assets Years Infrastructure Financed purchase assets – equipment 30 5 Recreation 5 - 30 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Capital Assets (Continued) In the governmental fund financial statements, amounts incurred for the acquisition of capital assets are reported as fund expenditures. Depreciation expense is not reported in the governmental fund financial statements. Unearned Revenue Governmental funds report unearned revenue in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned. Long-Term Obligations In the government-wide financial statements long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized ratably over the life of the Bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of applicable premiums or discounts. Bond issuance costs are expensed when incurred. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. Fund Equity/Net Position In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report non spendable and restricted fund balance for amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for use for a specific purpose. Assignments of fund balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change. The District can establish limitations on the use of fund balance as follows: Committed fund balance – Amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action (resolution) of the Board of Supervisors. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board of Supervisors taking the same formal action (resolution) that imposed the constraint originally. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements sometimes are reported in this category. Assigned fund balance – Includes spendable fund balance amounts established by the Board of Supervisors that are intended to be used for specific purposes that are neither considered restricted nor committed. The Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover differences in estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Assignments are generally temporary and normally the same formal action need not be taken to remove the assignment. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Assets, Liabilities and Net Position or Equity (Continued) Fund Equity/Net Position (Continued) The District first uses committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. Net position is the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net position in the government-wide financial statements are categorized as net investment in capital assets, restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets represents net position related to infrastructure and property, plant and equipment. Restricted net position represents the assets restricted by the District’s Bond covenants or other contractual restrictions. Unrestricted net position consists of the net position not meeting the definition of either of the other two components. Other Disclosures Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NOTE 3 - BUDGETARY INFORMATION The District is required to establish a budgetary system and an approved Annual Budget. Annual Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. The District follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements. a) Each year the District Manager submits to the District Board a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following October 1. b) Public hearings are conducted to obtain comments. c) Prior to October 1, the budget is legally adopted by the District Board. d) All budget changes must be approved by the District Board. e) The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. f) Unused appropriation for annually budgeted funds lapse at the end of the year. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS Deposits The District’s cash balances were entirely covered by federal depository insurance or by a collateral pool pledged to the State Treasurer. Florida Statutes Chapter 280, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act", requires all qualified depositories to deposit with the Treasurer or another banking institution eligible collateral equal to various percentages of the average daily balance for each month of all public deposits in excess of any applicable deposit insurance held. The percentage of eligible collateral (generally, U.S. Governmental and agency securities, state or local government debt, or corporate bonds) to public deposits is dependent upon the depository's financial history and its compliance with Chapter 280. In the event of a failure of a qualified public depository, the remaining public depositories would be responsible for covering any resulting losses. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments The District’s investments were held as follows at September 30, 2025: Amortized Cost Credit Risk Maturities Total Investments $ 819,614 Weighted average of the fund portfolio: 48 days Weighted average of the fund portfolio: 47 days First American Treasury Obligation Fund Class Y $ 4 54,476 S&P AAAm Florida Prime 3 65,138 S&P AAAm Credit risk – For investments, credit risk is generally the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investment ratings by investment type are included in the preceding summary of investments. Concentration risk – The District places no limit on the amount the District may invest in any one issuer. Interest rate risk – The District does not have a formal policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. However, the Bond Indentures limit the type of investments held using unspent proceeds. Fair Value Measurement – When applicable, the District measures and records its investments using fair value measurement guidelines established in accordance with GASB Statements. The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. These guidelines recognize a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, in order of highest priority, as follows: • Level 1: Investments whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical investments in active markets that the District has the ability to access; • Level 2: Investments whose inputs - other than quoted market prices - are observable either directly or indirectly; and, • Level 3: Investments whose inputs are unobservable. The fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Money market investments that have a maturity at the time of purchase of one year or less and are held by governments other than external investment pools should be measured at amortized cost. For external investment pools that qualify to be measured at amortized cost, the pool’s participants should also measure their investments in that external investment pool at amortized cost for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the District’s investments have been reported at amortized cost above. NOTE 4 – DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Continued) Investments (Continued) External Investment Pool – With regard to redemption gates, Chapter 218.409(8)(a), Florida Statutes, states that “The principal, and any part thereof, of each account constituting the trust fund is subject to payment at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the Executive Director may, in good faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material impact on liquidity or operations of the trust fund, for 48 hours limit contributions to or withdrawals from the trust fund to ensure that the Board can invest moneys entrusted to it in exercising its fiduciary responsibility. Such action must be immediately disclosed to all participants, the Trustees, the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government Advisory Council. The Trustees shall convene an emergency meeting as soon as practicable from the time the Executive Director has instituted such measures and review the necessity of those measures. If the Trustees are unable to convene an emergency meeting before the expiration of the 48-hour moratorium on contributions and withdrawals, the moratorium may be extended by the Executive Director until the Trustees are able to meet to review the necessity for the moratorium. If the Trustees agree with such measures, the Trustees shall vote to continue the measures for up to an additional 15 days. The Trustees must convene and vote to continue any such measures before the expiration of the time limit set, but in no case may the time limit set by the Trustees exceed 15 days.” With regard to liquidity fees, Florida Statute 218.409(4) provides authority for the SBA to impose penalties for early withdrawal, subject to disclosure in the enrollment materials of the amount and purpose of such fees. At present, no such disclosure has been made. As of September 30, 2025, there were no redemption fees or maximum transaction amounts, or any other requirements that serve to limit a participant’s daily access to 100% of their account value. NOTE 5 – CAPITAL ASSETS Capital asset activity for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, was as follows: Additions Reductions Governmental activities Capital assets, being depreciated Infrastructure $ 3,875,022 $ - $ - $ 3,875,022 Recreational 430,558 - - 430,558 Financed purchase assets - equipment 66,562 - - 66,562 Total capital assets, being depreciated 4,372,142 - - 4,372,142 Less accumulated depreciation for: Infrastructure 387,501 1 29,167 - 516,668 Recreation 64,584 21,528 - 86,112 Financed purchase assets - equipment 39,936 13,312 - 53,248 Total accumulated depreciation 492,021 164,007 - 656,028 Total capital assets, being depreciated, net 3,880,121 (164,007) - 3,716,114 Governmental activities capital assets, net $ 3,880,121 $ (164,007) $ - $ 3,716,114 Beginning Balance Ending Balance Depreciation expense was charged to function/programs as follows: Maintenance and operation $ 129,167 Recreation 34,840 Total depreciation expense $ 164,007 NOTE 6 – LONG TERM LIABILITIES On May 16, 2019, the District issued $7,025,000 of Special Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 2019 consisting of multiple term bonds with due dates ranging from May 1, 2021 - May 1, 2050 and fixed interest rates ranging from 3.8% to 4.75%. The Bonds were issued to finance the acquisition and construction of certain improvements for the benefit of the District. Interest is to be paid on each May 1 and November 1 commencing on November 1, 2019. Principal on the Bonds is to be paid serially commencing on May 1, 2021 through May 1, 2050. The Bonds are subject to redemption at the option of the District prior to their maturity. The Bonds are subject to extraordinary mandatory redemption prior to their selected maturity in the manner determined by the Bond Registrar if certain events occurred as outlined in the Bond Indenture. The Bond Indenture established a debt service reserve requirement as well as other restrictions and requirements relating principally to the use of proceeds to pay for the infrastructure improvements and the procedures to be followed by the District on assessments to property owners. The District agrees to levy special assessments in annual amounts adequate to provide payment of debt service and to meet the reserve requirements. The District was in compliance with the requirements at September 30, 2025. Changes in long-term liability activity for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, were as follows: Additions Reductions Governmental activities Series 2019 $ 6 ,260,000 $ - $ 130,000 $ 6,130,000 $ 135,000 Financed purchase - note payable 28,837 - 16,505 12,332 12,332 Total governmental activities $ 6 ,288,837 $ - $ 146,505 $ 6,142,332 $ 147,332 Beginning Balance Ending Balance Due Within One Year At September 30, 2025, the scheduled debt service requirements on the long-term debt were as follows: Principal Interest Total 2026 $ 135,000 $ 284,394 $ 419,394 2027 140,000 278,994 418,994 2028 145,000 273,394 418,394 2029 155,000 267,594 422,594 2030 160,000 261,394 421,394 2031-2035 915,000 1,189,263 2,104,263 2036-2040 1,155,000 956,625 2,111,625 2041-2045 1,465,000 656,925 2,121,925 2046-2050 1,860,000 273,838 2,133,838 Total $ 6,130,000 $ 4,442,421 $ 10,572,421 Year ending Governmental Activities September 30: NOTE 7 – FINANCED PURCHASE ASSETS The District entered into a financed purchase agreement for the use of certain playground equipment.

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. Report on Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance.
