Reynolds v. Leon County Energy Improvement Dist. – Supreme Court of Florida holds that objector who failed to appear at trial level lacked standing to appeal validation of proposed bond issue, as full party status was granted only to those who appeared and pleaded in the circuit court proceeding and thus only such parties were permitted to avail themselves of the statutory right of appeal; receding from Meyers v. City of St. Cloud, Rowe v. St. Johns County, Lozier v. Collier County, and Bruns v. County Water–Sewer Dist.
Thomas v. Clean Energy Coastal Corridor – Supreme Court of Florida validates bond issuance, but also holds that references to judicial foreclosure as a remedy for collecting unpaid non-ad valorem assessments contained in financing agreement securing bonds for qualifying improvements to real property under Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Act, required remand to circuit court to amend the financing agreement to remove those references, as judicial foreclosure was not a remedy for such collection authorized by Florida law.
And finally, BCB’s Department of Perhaps Understandable NIMBYism this week brings you Neighbors for Preservation of Big and Little Creek Community v.
