Showe MINUTES OF MEETING CHAMPIONSGATE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT The regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the ChampionsGate Community Development District was held Monday, July 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. at the offices of RIDA Development, 8390 ChampionsGate Boulevard, Suite 104, ChampionsGate, Florida. Present and constituting a quorum were: Lee Dawson Chairman Darin Tennyson Vice Chairman Elizabeth Allen Assistant Secretary Darlene Clevenger Assistant Secretary Douglas Cady Assistant Secretary Also present were: Jason Showe District Manager Scott Clark District Counsel Pete Glasscock Hanson Walter Marc Reicher RIDA Associates by telephone Evan Fracasso RIDA Associates FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Roll Call Mr. Showe called the meeting to order and called the roll. SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Comment Period Mr. Showe opened up the meeting for public comments. There being no comments, the next item followed. *Mr. Reicher joined the meeting by telephone at this time. THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Approval of the Minutes of the May 11, 2026 Meeting On MOTION by Ms. Clevenger seconded by Mr. Tennyson with all in favor the minutes of the May 11, 2026 meeting were approved as presented. FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Public Hearing On MOTION by Ms. Clevenger seconded by Mr. Dawson with all in favor the public hearing was opened. A. Consideration of Resolution 2026-05 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Relating to the Annual Appropriations Mr. Showe stated this is your annual budget resolution and there is no proposed assessment increase for this year. We did allocate approximately $600,000 for roadway milling and resurfacing based on the engineer’s estimate. Ms. Allen stated it looks like we went over budget this year on irrigation maintenance and next year there is a hefty increase from $20,000 to $35,000. Is there an issue, are you going through and replacing? Mr. Fracaso stated the system is old, connections are failing, a lot of them are the bell connections that are in a lot of the main lines. Ms. Allen asked did the property appraiser double their fee? It went from $400,000 to $950,000. Mr. Showe stated if you look at the actuals, the actual was $930,000. They changed the way they calculate their fee and do it by parcel now rather than a flat fee. Ms. Allen stated you lowered the security budget. Did you find a different vendor or are we not going to police as much as we had? Mr. Fracaso stated the plan is to go back with FHP. After my conversation with the special inspector, he did say once we get through this process, he would put me in contact with their shift commander to find an individual who does commercial vehicle enforcement. On MOTION by Mr. Tennyson seconded by Mr. Cady with all in favor Resolution 2026-05 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Relating to the Annual Appropriations was approved. B. Consideration of Resolution 2026-06 Imposing Special Assessments and Certifying an Assessmetn Roll Mr. Showe stated Resolution 2026-06 imposes the special assessments and attached as Exhibit A will be the budget you just adopted and Exhibit B is the assessment roll. On MOTION by Ms. Allen seconded by Ms. Clevenger with all in favor Resolution 2026-06 Imposing Special Assessments and Certifying an Assessmetn Roll was approved. On MOTION by Mr. Dawson seconded by Mr. Tennyson with all in favor the public hearing was closed. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Signage for Hospital Mr. Showe stated an issue came up between the last meeting and this meeting. There is a new hospital going in closer to Reunion and they have asked to put in some signage along ChampionsGate Boulevard. They claim they are required to put in signs. Mr. Clark stated I looked at it and it said they can request the owner of the road to place signs and based on that I thought it should come to the board. Staff recommends this. On MOTION by Mr. Tennyson seconded by Ms. Clevenger with all in favor the request for the installation of signage for the hospital was approved. SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS District Goals and Objectives A. Adoption of Fiscal Year 2027 Goals and Objectives B. Review and Approval of Fiscal Year 2026 Goals and Objectives and Authorizing Chair to Execute Final Form On MOTION by Mr. Tennyson seconded by Mr. Dawson with all in favor the fiscal year 2027 goals and objectives were approved and the chair was authorized to execute the fiscal year 2026 goals and objectives at the end of the fiscal year and staff will post the executed version on the website. SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports A. Attorney Mr. Clark updated the board on the issue with the FHP investigation and stated we have to figure out what our strategy is going to be, it is disappointing to find out that these things went on and the other question is going to be, do we get our money back. At this point I have identified the assistant state attorney who is assigned to the case, I have reached out to him and said ChampionsGate CDD is interested in being a party to the things that go on, we are not an official party in the case because it is criminal but we are the victim and we have certain rights to participate to be informed of what is going on so I have notified them that we want to do that and that if there are any negotiations, plea deals and things like that, that we want restitution to be part of that. I think that is the action we need to take right now and see how it plays out, what charges they decide to bring, what penalties they are looking for and keep our hand extended and see if we could get our money back. I’m sure that will move slowly through the system, but I will keep you informed. At a prior board meeting you authorized me to draft a right of way utilization agreement for Spectrum. I did that, we sent it to them, they sent it to their legal department and marked it up. We initially pushed back and said we would like to work with you, but you are not rewriting our agreement and they pushed back some, so I have done a revision of their revision and requested that they reimburse us $1,000 for our fees associated with that. I don’t want to be unreasonable because it is to our benefit that we have an agreement and they probably could come in and do this without an agreement because of the nature of the work. We will try to come up with something. Some of their requests were not reasonable. In the meantime, there is another user who wants to sign up for this service. We will try to come up with a single agreement and say this is our standard agreement for whoever wants to come in for this type of service. The CDD supervisor recall passed both houses unanimously but in the process they made the bill more complex. They took the bill and fit it into a process that already exists for cities and counties for recall. It is an almost identical process; it is very cumbersome and expensive. I’m impressed with some drafting a rule of procedure that I’m going to recommend to all my districts, laying out the process and I’m wanting to put it in a rule for a couple reasons that aren’t in the statute. I think the CDD needs to adopt a formal policy of neutrality. I’m suggesting a policy of neutrality that the CDD does not get involved other than to do the steps required by the statute. The other thing I want to do in a rule is to codify that we have a user fee. We have a fee and they will have to pay us ahead of time because there is also an ad to run, and it is probably an expensive ad, mailing and staff time. I’m going to make sure we are made whole if someone wants to go through this process. Not surprisingly there is a step in the process where the supervisor involved can just resign instead of going through the process. I will come back at our next meeting with some language and explanation of what the approach is all about. I also tracked a change of a bill that also passed to raise the sovereign immunity caps and the governor vetoed that. B. Engineer There being no comments, the next item followed. C. Manager i. Approval of Check Register On MOTION by Mr. Cady seconded by Ms. Allen with all in favor the check register was approved. ii. Balance Sheet and Income Statement A copy of the financials was included in the agenda package. iii. Approval of Fiscal Year 2027 Meeting Schedule On MOTION by Mr. Tennyson seconded by Mr. Dawson with all in favor the fiscal year 2027 meeting schedule was approved. D. Onsite Manager’s Report Mr. Fracaso stated there was a large underground irrigation break across the street from my office that resulted in a giant hole, and we were able to get that taken care of on a Sunday evening and get the road opened. The following week we cut out a 15-foot section on either side of the depression and cut it down to base, compacted it and repaved that area. Mr. Fracaso gave an overview of the onsite manager’s report, copy of which was included in the agenda package. EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business There being no comments, the next item followed.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment On MOTION by Mr. Tennyson seconded by Ms. Allen with all in favor the meeting adjourned at 2:50 p.m. Secretary/Assistant Secretary Chairman/Vice Chairman 1001 Yamato Road .

(800) 299-4728 Fax (561) 994-5823 www.graucpa.com 2010 Grau Logo - HiRes July 29, 2026 Board of Supervisors ChampionsGate Community Development District 219 East Livingston Street Orlando, FL 32801 We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide ChampionsGate Community Development District, Osceola County, Florida (“the District”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. We will audit the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund, including the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the basic financial statements of ChampionsGate Community Development District as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. In addition, we will examine the District’s compliance with the requirements of Section 218.415 Florida Statutes. This letter serves to renew our agreement and establish the terms and fee for the 2026 audit. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide for certain required supplementary information (RSI), such as management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A), to supplement the District’s basic financial statements. Such information, 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. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the District’s RSI in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding 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 will 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. The following RSI is required by generally accepted accounting principles and will be subjected to certain limited procedures, but will not be audited: 1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis 2) Budgetary comparison schedule The following other information accompanying the financial statements will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements, and our auditor’s report will not provide an opinion or any assurance on that information: 1) Compliance with FL Statute 218.39 (3) (c) Audit Objectives The objective of our audit is the expression of opinions as to whether your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the supplementary information referred to in the second paragraph when considered in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Our audit will be conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and will include tests of the accounting records of the District and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the District’s financial statements. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion or add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs. If our opinion on the financial statements is other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or issue a report, or may withdraw from this engagement. We will also provide a report (that does not include an opinion) on internal control related to the financial statements and compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a material effect on the financial statements as required by Government Auditing Standards. The report on internal control and on compliance and other matters will include a paragraph that states (1) that the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control and compliance, and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control on compliance, and (2) that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control and compliance. The paragraph will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. If during our audit we become aware that the District is subject to an audit requirement that is not encompassed in the terms of this engagement, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance that an audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards may not satisfy the relevant legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements. We will also issue a management letter as required by Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. As part of our audit, we will apply financial condition assessment procedures pursuant to Section 218.39(5), Florida Statutes, and Rule 10.556(8), Rules of the Auditor General, and will report, as applicable, whether the District met any of the conditions described in Section 218.503(1), Florida Statutes. Examination Objective The objective of our examination is the expression of an opinion as to whether the District is in compliance with Florida Statute 218.415 in accordance with Rule 10.556(10) of the Auditor General of the State of Florida. Our examination will be conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and will include tests of your records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion. We will issue a written report upon completion of our examination of the District’s compliance. The report will include a statement that the report is intended solely for the information and use of management, those charged with governance, and the Florida Auditor General, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion or add emphasis-of-matter or other-matter paragraphs. If our opinion on the District’s compliance is other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the examination or are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or issue a report, or may withdraw from this engagement. Other Services We will assist in preparing the financial statements and related notes of the District in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles based on information provided by you. These nonaudit services do not constitute an audit under Government Auditing Standards and such services will not be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. The other services are limited to the financial statement services previously defined. We, in our sole professional judgment, reserve the right to refuse to perform any procedure or take any action that could be construed as assuming management responsibilities. Management Responsibilities Management is responsible for compliance with Florida Statute 218.415 and will provide us with the information required for the examination. The accuracy and completeness of such information is also management’s responsibility. You agree to assume all management responsibilities relating to the financial statements and related notes and any other nonaudit services we provide. You will be required to acknowledge in the management representation letter our assistance with preparation of the financial statements and related notes and that you have reviewed and approved the financial statements and related notes prior to their issuance and have accepted responsibility for them. In addition, you will be required to make certain representations regarding compliance with Florida Statute 218.415 in the management representation letter. Further, you agree to oversee the nonaudit services by designating an individual, preferably from senior management, who possesses suitable skill, knowledge, or experience; evaluate the adequacy and results of those services; and accept responsibility for them. Management is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining effective internal controls, including evaluating and monitoring ongoing activities, to help ensure that appropriate goals and objectives are met; following laws and regulations; and ensuring that management and financial information is reliable and properly reported. Management is also responsible for implementing systems designed to achieve compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. You are also responsible for the selection and application of accounting principles, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements and all accompanying information in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and grant agreements. Management is also responsible for making all financial records and related information available to us and for the accuracy and completeness of that information. You are also responsible for providing us with (1) access to all information of which you are aware that is relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, (2) additional information that we may request for the purpose of the audit, and (3) unrestricted access to persons within the government from whom we determine it necessary to obtain audit evidence. Your responsibilities include adjusting the financial statements to correct material misstatements and for confirming to us in the written representation letter that the effects of any uncorrected misstatements aggregated by us during the current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. You are responsible for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud affecting the government involving (1) management, (2) employees who have significant roles in internal control, and (3) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Your responsibilities include informing us of your knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the government received in communications from employees, former employees, grantors, regulators, or others. In addition, you are responsible for identifying and ensuring that the government complies with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants and for taking timely and appropriate steps to remedy fraud and noncompliance with provisions of laws, regulations, contracts or grant agreements, or abuse that we report. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a process for tracking the status of audit findings and recommendations. Management is also responsible for identifying and providing report copies of previous financial audits, attestation engagements, performance audits or other studies related to the objectives discussed in the Audit Objectives section of this letter. This responsibility includes relaying to us corrective actions taken to address significant findings and recommendations resulting from those audits, attestation engagements, performance audits, or other studies. You are also responsible for providing management’s views on our current findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as your planned corrective actions, for the report, and for the timing and format for providing that information. With regard to the electronic dissemination of audited financial statements, including financial statements published electronically on your website, you understand that electronic sites are a means to distribute information and, therefore, we are not required to read the information contained in these sites or to consider the consistency of other information in the electronic site with the original document. Audit Procedures—General An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financial reporting, (3) misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are attributable to the government or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the government. Because the determination of abuse is subjective, Government Auditing Standards do not expect auditors to provide reasonable assurance of detecting abuse. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, combined with the inherent limitations of internal control, and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material misstatements may exist and not be detected by us, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards. In addition, an audit is not designed to detect immaterial misstatements or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to later periods for which we are not engaged as auditors. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with selected individuals, funding sources, creditors, and financial institutions. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will require certain written representations from you about your responsibilities for the financial statements; compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements; and other responsibilities required by generally accepted auditing standards. Audit Procedures—Internal Control Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the government and its environment, including internal control, sufficient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. Tests of controls may be performed to test the effectiveness of certain controls that we consider relevant to preventing and detecting errors and fraud that are material to the financial statements and to preventing and detecting misstatements resulting from illegal acts and other noncompliance matters that have a direct and material effect on the financial statements. Our tests, if performed, will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on internal control and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report on internal control issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. An audit is not designed to provide assurance on internal control or to identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged with governance internal control related matters that are required to be communicated under AICPA professional standards and Government Auditing Standards. Audit Procedures—Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, we will perform tests of the District’s compliance with the provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, agreements, and grants. However, the objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not express such an opinion in our report on compliance issued pursuant to Government Auditing Standards. Engagement Administration, Fees, and Other We understand that your employees will prepare all cash or other confirmations we request and will locate any documents selected by us for testing. The audit documentation for this engagement is the property of Grau & Associates and constitutes confidential information. However, subject to applicable laws and regulations, audit documentation and appropriate individuals will be made available upon request and in a timely manner to a cognizant or oversight agency or its designee, a federal agency providing direct or indirect funding, or the U.S. Government Accountability Office for purposes of a quality review of the audit, to resolve audit findings, or to carry out oversight responsibilities. We will notify you of any such request. If requested, access to such audit documentation will be provided under the supervision of Grau & Associates personnel. Furthermore, upon request, we may provide copies of selected audit documentation to the aforementioned parties. These parties may intend, or decide, to distribute the copies or information contained therein to others, including other governmental agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that various documents reviewed or produced during the conduct of the audit may be public records under Florida law. The District agrees to notify Grau & Associates of any public record request it receives that involves audit documentation. Furthermore, Grau & Associates agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of Florida law in handling such records, including but not limited to Section 119.0701, Florida Statutes. Auditor acknowledges that the designated public records custodian for the District is the District Manager (“Public Records Custodian”). Among other requirements and to the extent applicable by law, Grau & Associates shall 1) keep and maintain public records required by the District to perform the service; 2) upon request by the Public Records Custodian, provide the District with the requested public records or allow the records to be inspected or copied within a reasonable time period at a cost that does not exceed the cost provided in Chapter 119, Florida Statutes; 3) ensure that public records which are exempt or confidential, and exempt from public records disclosure requirements, are not disclosed except as authorized by law for the duration of the contract term and following the contract term if Auditor does not transfer the records to the Public Records Custodian of the District; and 4) upon completion of the contract, transfer to the District, at no cost, all public records in Grau & Associate’s possession or, alternatively, keep, maintain and meet all applicable requirements for retaining public records pursuant to Florida laws. When such public records are transferred by Grau & Associates, Grau & Associates shall destroy any duplicate public records that are exempt or confidential and exempt from public records disclosure requirements. All records stored electronically must be provided to the District in a format that is compatible with Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF formats.

Our fee for these services will not exceed $3,800 for the September 30, 2026 audit, unless there is a change in activity by the District which results in additional audit work or if Bonds are issued. We will complete the audit within prescribed statutory deadlines, which requires the District to submit its annual audit to the Auditor General no later than nine (9) months after the end of the audited fiscal year, with the understanding that your employees will provide information needed to perform the audit on a timely basis. The audit documentation for this engagement will be retained for a minimum of five years after the report release date. If we are aware that a federal awarding agency or auditee is contesting an audit finding, we will contact the party(ies) contesting the audit finding for guidance prior to destroying the audit documentation. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. Invoices will be submitted in sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with the terms of this agreement. In accordance with our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 60 days or more overdue and may not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written notification of termination, even if we have not completed our report. You will be obligated to compensate us for all time expended and to reimburse us for all outof- pocket costs through the date of termination. The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee estimate. This agreement may be renewed each year thereafter subject to the mutual agreement by both parties to all terms and fees. The fee for each annual renewal will be agreed upon separately. The District has the option to terminate this agreement with or without cause by providing thirty (30) days written notice of termination to Grau & Associates. Upon any termination of this agreement, Grau & Associates shall be entitled to payment of all work and/or services rendered up until the effective termination of this agreement, subject to whatever claims or off-sets the District may have against Grau & Associates.

Grau RESPONSE: This letter correctly sets forth the understanding of ChampionsGate Community Development District. By: Title: Date: A close-up of a letter Description automatically generated CHAMPIONSGATE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT RULE OF PROCEDURE 2.0 RECALL PETITION PROCEEDINGS Adopted pursuant to Section 190.0071, Florida Statutes SECTION 1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1.1 Purpose. This Rule establishes uniform procedures for processing recall petitions filed against members of the Board of Supervisors of the Championsgate Community Development District ("District") who are elected by the qualified electors of the District. These procedures are adopted pursuant to the authority granted under Section 190.0071, Florida Statutes, and shall govern all recall proceedings initiated on or after the effective date of this Rule. 1.2 Scope of Application. This Rule applies exclusively to recall proceedings against Board members who are elected by qualified electors of the District and who have served at least onefourth of their term of office at the time a recall petition is filed. Board members who are not elected by qualified electors or who have not served the requisite portion of their term are not subject to recall under this Rule. SECTION 2 DEFINITIONS For purposes of this Rule, the following definitions shall apply: 2.1 "Board" means the Board of Supervisors of the District. 2.2 "Clerk," as the context requires, means the Clerk of Osceola County, Florida. 2.3 "Qualified Elector" means a person who is registered to vote with the Supervisor of Elections and who resides within the boundaries of the District. 2.4 "Recall Committee" means the qualified electors of the District making charges contained in the statement of grounds for recall, as well as those signing the recall petition, as designated pursuant to Section 190.0071(4)(c), Florida Statutes. 2.5 "Recall Petition" means the initial petition containing the name of the Board member sought to be recalled, the statement of grounds for recall, and the requisite number of verified signatures, as prescribed by Section 190.0071(4), Florida Statutes. 2.6 "Recall Referendum Petition" means the petition circulated after preparation of the Record of Recall Proceedings seeking authorization to hold a referendum on whether the Board member should be recalled, as prescribed by Section 190.0071(6), Florida Statutes. 2.7 "Record of Recall Proceedings" means the document prepared by the Clerk that includes the recall petition, the determination of the Supervisor of Elections regarding verified and valid signatures, and the rebuttal statement (if any) of the Board member subject to recall. 2.8 "Supervisor of Elections" means the Supervisor of Elections for Osceola County, Florida.
