Go to the EMAC budget and see where the money is spent. The largest increase in that budget was Landscape Maintenance.

There is landscape specific to the CDD that is contracted and paid for directly by the CDD - that is the "separate line item" you are seeing. There is also landscape within the CDD area that is covered and maintained with EMAC funds - a large portion of the EMAC fee goes towards that work.

CDD14 Landscape maintained by EMAC, per Exhibit A of the EMAC agreement, is Chandler Drive south of the unmanned gates.

Landscaping maintained by CDD14 would be most (all?) of the other roadways within the CDD.

See Exhibit A for more details.
