I have posted the audio of the CDD meeting that took place on June 19, 2025 here. Present and in the room were Dean Walters, Tim Nargi and Steve Finley. Present on zoom was Mike Rodriguez. The Chairman Dan Leventry was not on the call until discussion of the roof began. The Chairman then dropped off and did not return until Tim Nargi spoke at the end of the meeting in the Supervisor requests section.

At the 3:16:15 mark, Tim begins to state his concerns about the procedures and policies not being followed.  During his comments Tim makes a proposal to bid out the attorney’s contract as well as the GMS contract for both the amenities and district management. Someone contacts Dan to let him know what is happening and he comes back on at the 3:39:26 mark. You can listen to this on the CDD audio link above.

Tim Nargi is being maligned by Bruce Raber and others on other Facebook groups. Tim Nargi and I have had our differences over policy and how to make Mirabay a premier waterfront community. That being said, Tim Nargi has integrity. Unfortunately our Chairman Daniel Leventry has no integrity.

The CDD is a special district created by the Florida legislature and is subject to the laws of the state of Florida. Every supervisor raised their hand and took an oath to uphold those laws. Daniel Leventry doesn’t believe those laws apply to him and has worked behind the scenes to bypass those laws with the help of our CDD attorney and the management company.

The whole clubhouse roof disaster is a perfect example. Florida statute 190.033 http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0100-0199/0190/Sections/0190.033.html talks about bids required by the CDD. The Board did not follow this policy and the roof disaster continues. Neither GMS who manages over 250 districts or our attorney said anything about following Florida guidelines. At the budget meeting at the end of April, GMS put a transfer of $160,000 from the Save the Manatee fund to the general fund in the budget. Because Daniel Leventry has no idea how to manage expenses, he figured he could just take money that didn’t belong to the CDD and use it for CDD purposes. Dan said at the meeting that the agreement that he signed effective January 1, 2022 said that the agreement said that after 45 months the CDD could use the money for its own purpose. The only problem is that this is not in the anywhere in the agreement. See the Amended Restated and updated settlement agreement.

The agreement actually says, Uses and Administration of the Evergreen Fund:

“Fund monies shall be used and solely used for the operation and enforcement by the Enforcing Authority of the program required by this Agreement, which may include costs necessary to purchase and operate a Power Boat for on-water inspection of Certificates, required manatee warning and speed limit signage and poles not provided by other governments, costs associated with purchasing Certificate stickers or placards, manatee awareness education within the Project, and other necessary actual costs but expressly excluding salaries of individuals other than law enforcement officers. At the request of the Enforcing Authority, the Club shall provide materials necessary to carry out the annual manatee awareness education component at no cost to the Enforcing Authority.”

At the end of the May 15th meeting, Dan begins his personal attack against me because I brought this illegal act to the attorney’s attention. Click on the HB 5.15.25 audio here to listen for yourself. Dan got caught and he blames me because he couldn’t steal from the Save the Manatee fund.

Therefore; in Dan’s warped logic, I cost the community $160,000 because I pointed out an illegal act that the CDD was about to partake in. Again, one needs to ask why our attorney or our management company didn’t say no to this illegal plan.

As you will see here in the file labeled Rightway Restoration, a payment of $79,638.83 on check # 5058 to Rightway Restoration was paid. This represents a 20% deposit on a $398K job for the interior of the clubhouse. First of all, this was not bid out as required by the Florida statutes. Second the Board never voted on this. So ask yourself why would GMS write a check for an invoice that wasn’t approved by the Board for an amount that exceeds their authority to do so. Why does Dan or our attorney think that they have the authority to spend $398K without the Board’s approval? Why would our management company approve this payment?

It should be pointed out that our previous attorney Mike Eckert resigned because of the nonsense being lead by Leventry. Our previous engineers also resigned because of Dan’s shenanigans.

Previously, Dan had filed a restraining order against me. He lost that case. I believe he was involved in having GMS sue me for defamation. GMS settled that case and paid me $40,000. Dan lead the charge to suspend my amenities for  one year and then to trespass me for six months for swearing at a CDD meeting after L T Kim falsely accused me of saying racist things that I never said. Kim was never sanctioned for personally attacking another resident and clearly this was not an agenda item. I apologized to the Board and the staff for my language. At the hearing for my suspension, the CDD attorney and Leventry would not let me attend my own hearing. Dan told my attorney that he was at the meeting when I swore and she couldn’t add anything to the discussion since he already knew what happened. As you will hear on the June 19th audio, Dan used the same word I used. I wonder why he hasn’t had his amenity usage suspended.

Both GMS and the attorney should have their contracts replaced by competent companies that will work for the benefit of the CDD and in turn the community. Dan Leventry should resign.
