Oh, there we go. I was waiting for the notification already. Well, welcome to today's combined special meeting for Firefly Public Infrastructure District numbers one through ten, taking place on Tuesday, March 17th, 2026 at 1 p.m., Mountain Standard Time, at Blackwood Advisors, LLC, 2265, Murray Holiday Road, Suite 107, Holiday Utah, 84117.

We have included a Teams meeting link for those who are joining virtually.
[0:35]
We also have Andrea in the physical office for any members of the public or board
[0:41]
that may have wanted to attend in person.
[0:44]
And since this is a public hearing, we have posted the notice and agenda
[0:49]
over seven days in advance of this meeting, both on the Blackwood Advisors Office
[0:54]
as well as the posting website.
[0:57]
So, first, if I can ask for a call to order, the meeting has started at 1.05 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, and let's get a roll call of everyone here.

Perfect.
[1:57]
Thank you.
[1:57]
And then we can move to the preliminary action items to consider a combined
[2:03]
board meeting for Firefly Public Infrastructure District numbers 1 through 10. Do I have a motion
[2:09]
to combine the meeting today? This is nature if I still move to this Brian Flamm, I'll second it.
[2:18]
Awesome. An all in favor vote all right? All right.
[2:24]
Perfect. Thank you. And then moving to the
[2:27]
consent items, we will approve the draft for minutes of the Firefly Public Infrastructure District
[2:32]
numbers one through 10 board meeting that was held on January 16th, 2026. You guys should
[2:39]
have received this over the weekend. Did you have a chance to review? Do you have any questions
[2:45]
or updates before we approve and send for signature?
[2:52]
No questions from me. No.
[2:55]
Okay. Do I have a motion to approve the minutes from the last board meeting?
[3:01]
This is made. I still move. Second. Perfect. Thank you. Next we will approve and ratify payment
[3:09]
applications and requisition requests made since the last board meeting. There was one requisition,
[3:16]
number 28 for the amount of $43,062 and 85 cents. Were there any questions or comments or do I have
[3:26]
a motion to approve this requisition.
[3:31]
No comments, your questions?
[3:32]
I still move to approve.
[3:35]
So I'll second the motion.
[3:37]
Perfect.
[3:38]
Sorry, I need to say all in favor vote aye.
[3:40]
Aye.
[3:42]
Perfect.
[3:43]
Thank you.
[3:44]
Next, we will move to a public hearing.
[3:48]
Do I have a motion to open the public hearing?
[3:51]
I have a motion to open the public hearing.
[3:54]
Perfect.
[3:55]
Second.
[3:56]
And all in favor?
[3:58]
All right.
[3:59]
Thank you.
[4:01]
And this public hearing is to take public comment on the
[4:04]
tentative amended 2025 operating and capital budget for
[4:08]
fire, philanthropic, and public infrastructure district number one
[4:11]
adopted on January 16, 2026, which is proposed to be adopted
[4:17]
as the amended final in operating capital budget for a
[4:21]
calendar year of 2025.
[4:23]
And I will let Lauren go over these budget amendments.
[4:27]
Did you want me to share my screen or would you like to take control of it?
[4:32]
Yeah, go ahead and just scroll down.
[4:36]
And we can discuss here. That's perfect. Thank you.
[4:40]
Yeah.
[4:41]
So board, I don't think any additional changes have been made sense.
[4:46]
You've seen in January, but just to kind of recap here.
[4:51]
For 2025, expenses did come in just a little bit higher than we had originally anticipated
[4:58]
for a few line items.
[5:01]
So here in the debt service fund, originally we had had just over 3.9 million in the
[5:08]
total worth expenditures.
[5:10]
We are amending that to just over 7.4 million for that last line there, the bond principle.
[5:17]
and this relates to the prepayments on the bonds that require that mandatory
[5:26]
reduction on related to those payments. Everything else was in line there, but
[5:34]
just wanted to make a note of that last line item. Are there any questions on the
[5:40]
amendment, I guess, for the debt service fund first?
[5:46]
I don't have any questions.
[5:49]
And the other proposed amendments to the general fund, originally total expenditures
[5:56]
were set at 75,000 and we did increase that to 100,000 primarily for the district management
[6:04]
costs, going from 21,000 up to 50,000 and Pam might be able to speak a little bit better
[6:11]
to this, but I believe it's mostly related to the assessment administration and the work
[6:16]
that went into that. Certainly, like, as their panel just that, yeah, when we originally submitted,
[6:24]
we were doing the assessment role, which I think we quoted at about 28,000, then we picked up
[6:30]
the district management part of that from Tom's group. He had been doing that in the past. And so
[6:37]
that added to the budget part of that is just a shift from legal into district management. So you'll
[6:45]
start to see legal go down over time unless specific things pop up and we'll be taking over that.
[6:53]
So it was just really a largely a shift of roles. The other thing that I will point out is we did
[6:59]
wind up spending more time than we had originally anticipated trying to straighten out the Utah County
[7:06]
mess when they didn't accurately reflect the imposition of the district on all of the lots.
[7:13]
So, that's not anticipated to continue in the future.
[7:19]
Yeah, makes sense.
[7:24]
Perfect.
[7:25]
And I don't want you to add there unless there are additional questions.
[7:37]
I don't have any additional questions.
[7:42]
Okay.
[7:43]
All right.
[7:44]
Do I have a motion to close the public hearing at this time?
[7:48]
I so move.
[7:50]
I'll second it.
[7:52]
All in favor?
[7:54]
Hi.
[7:54]
Hi.
[7:55]
Thank you. And then moving into our action items, which would be consider adoption of this resolution
[8:01]
2026-02, a resolution adopting the amended final operating capital budget for calendar year,
[8:08]
2025, four or five five public infrastructure district number one. As shared by Lauren,
[8:15]
do I have a motion to adopt this resolution?
[8:21]
This is made, I move to adopt.
[8:25]
So Brian, I second it.
[8:27]
All in favor?
[8:29]
Hi.
[8:30]
Thank you.
[8:33]
And next, we will consider adoption of Resolution 2026-03, a resolution authorizing the execution
[8:40]
of a 6th amendment to assessment ordinance for the Firefly Assessment Area No. 1, authorizing
[8:47]
the taking of all other actions necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated
[8:53]
by this resolution and related matters and I will let Darcy go over this six amendment
[9:00]
to assessment ordinance. Would you like me to pull it up for you or would you like to
[9:04]
share your screen and go through it? Hi, if you could pull it up that would be great.
[9:10]
Sure. This is Darcy Stevens with Gilmore Bell, Bond Council.
[9:15]
Thanks, Jacqueline. So what you have before you is a resolution.
[9:19]
Well, this is actually the sixth amendment.
[9:21]
The resolution approves the execution by the board
[9:24]
of this sixth amendment to assessment ordinance.
[9:27]
If you scroll a couple pages,
[9:31]
the purpose of this amendment
[9:36]
is to authorize a reallocation of assessments
[9:38]
right there as good.
[9:39]
Exhibit A has the new reallocation of assessments
[9:42]
which are being made by this sixth amendment
[9:46]
assessment ordinance. If you scroll to exhibit B, that will show actually B is the certificate
[9:55]
of owner of the consent to these changes. Exhibit C is the parcels that are being released.
[10:00]
These are parcels that have been paid off and they would be released from their assessment.
[10:06]
And then exhibit D would be our new assessment list after the reallocation and release of these
[10:13]
parcels. So it's pretty straightforward. And the resolution itself authorizes the execution
[10:20]
of this assessment amendment and substantially this form. And I'm happy to answer any questions.
[10:31]
That's great. It makes sense to me. Yeah, I'll have any questions.
[10:35]
Great. Thank you. Actually, I did have one question, not in relation to your preparation, but I know
[10:41]
Nate, at one point you talked about re-addressing the pay-off amounts on the larger lots, but was that
[10:52]
addressed here? Is that still kicked down the road? Let me check down the roads. Okay, that's it.
[11:01]
Awesome.
[11:01]
Thank you, Darcy, for going over that. Do I have a motion to adopt this resolution?
[11:10]
I still move. It's adopted.
[11:12]
Thank you. I like that Nate I'll second it. All in favor vote aye.
[11:20]
Hi. Awesome. Thank you. Next we can move into any administrative non-action items where we
[11:29]
can have a discussion with the board members of any public infrastructure district business.
[11:35]
I have one comment for the board if I could get your help with posting the third and fifth
[11:41]
assessment ordinances. I did reach out to Jen Owen. I've just not heard back, but we do need those
[11:48]
posted on the district or within the district's boundaries for 21 days. Would one of you be able to
[11:57]
help us with that posting? When did you reach out to Jen?
[12:01]
It was a couple weeks ago, but I followed
[12:04]
up a few times since. I'll go find out what's going on. Perfect. And the six will need to get
[12:14]
posted as well once we get signatures and we'll compile a PDF copy so they'll be a third one coming.
[12:22]
And then if you guys can, when you have her post or whomever post, if you all can take a picture of
[12:29]
that and email it to us or or however you want to get it to us just so we have some record
[12:35]
in our files that it's been done. I don't anticipate anybody challenging it, but it just
[12:40]
helps us for record keeping. Sure. Great.
[12:49]
Any other items we would like to discuss during
[12:53]
the official meeting?
[12:58]
I don't have anything else. Okay. Do I have a motion to ensure? I have
[13:02]
one quick question. Lauren, I know you guys are working on a bunch of stuff. Is there anything that
[13:07]
you're going to be needing from them in order to, you know, finish the audit or any other things
[13:18]
that you're working on, just taking the opportunity. But now that we've got everybody's attention, are you
[13:24]
good to go? Yeah, I think we are good to go. There's nothing on my list that we're needing. Perfect.
[13:31]
And then as far as the audit goes, I can give a little bit of an update there.
[13:36]
The 2025 audit is in progress and the auditors let us know that field work, field work should
[13:42]
be starting sometime between now and the end of this month.
[13:47]
And then they are projecting a four week turnaround this year.
[13:51]
So we're repeating much shorter turnaround time, which will be great.
[13:55]
Perfect.
[13:56]
Okay.
[13:57]
Awesome.
[13:58]
Thank you very much.
[13:59]
Appreciate it.
[14:00]
Perfect.
[14:01]
Well, if there is nothing else, do I have a motion to adjourn the meeting today?
[14:08]
This is made, I shall move, time to be done.
[14:11]
Let's do it all second at night.
[14:13]
Perfect.
[14:14]
All in favor?
[14:16]
Hi.
[14:17]
Hi.
[14:18]
Perfect.
[14:19]
Meeting adjourned at 1.19 p.m. mountain standard time.
[14:25]
Thanks, everybody.
[14:26]
Everybody have a great day.
[14:28]
Thank you.
[14:33]
