An opportunity to discuss our DM vendor

Hi Board Members,

DPFG, has been the Cory Lakes CDD District Manager since Gene Thomasson controlled the CDD. I believe it would be in the best interest of the community for us to review the services provided by District Management vendors and request competitive proposals from DPFG and other District Management firms so that we can assess if we are getting the best value for our taxpayers dollars.

A vendor review and analysis would normally be done by the District Management Vendor, but in this case since we are assessing the DM so it wouldn't make sense for the DM that is providing a proposal to also evaluate the proposals of itself and it's competitors. Thus, I would recommend that the board form a special committee made of the board members that will request vendor proposals and do the evaluation.

What do the other board members feel about this suggestion?

Cyril

Hi Cyril,

I'm in agreement we need to be good ambassadors of our $'s and ensure we are getting best service while keeping costs reasonable.

Baiju, Jorge:

Do you have any questions or comments that you would want to discuss about it while we are virtually-here in order to save discussion time during the monthly CDD meeting or do you feel comfortable that we can proceed directly to a vote when we have our Feb 18th meeting?

Best,
Cyril

I'm in complete agreement with visiting the idea of pursuing competitive bids of our Management Company. Cyril, do you have other companies in mind that you would like to receive bids from? I've heard amazing things about the company at Arbor Greene although don't know their name right off the top of my head. I could look into this further if you'd like me to?
