[G.R.I.T.S.]

These open meetings are during the budget process, which occurs before the new fiscal year. Our home city held theirs just before the end of the fiscal year, which was June 30. I'm sure other cities/states have different fiscal years. It just so happens TV's begins July 1. Florida has pretty strict Sunshine Laws, as evidenced in the ongoing dispute with the ousted county commissioners. I don't believe the CDD is "hiding" anything pertaining to budget matters by holding public meetings during the budget process.
