ICON Management presents what to expect when the board turns over to an all-resident board.
True Club management has confirmed a $35.31 per month operations fee increase tied to new amenities at the Lagoon Villas. It takes effect when construction completes — anticipated sometime in 2026. It cannot be opted out of.
Effective May 18, 2026, the Lagoon at Mirada is managed directly through Metro Lagoon, with a new resident portal and contact email. The mailing address remains the same. Printed contact sheets are available at the front desk. Note: the Lagoon is operated separately from the Medley HOA and Club under a different legal structure; Lagoon access fees are paid separately.
The bridge company inspected the Rider Creek Bridge and marked broken boards for repair as of May 15, 2026. ICON Management stated the damage is normal wear and tear and the bridge is completely safe. A separate communication will go out once the repair date is scheduled.
As of May 15, 2026, the Kenton Rd./Cannon Rush Drive gate is out of service. Until further notice, the Main Entrance at Rider Creek is the only point of entry to the community between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
The gate company inspected the Gable Dig Loop vehicular and pedestrian gates as of May 1, 2026 following resident reports of issues. ICON Management stated repairs will be addressed accordingly.
ICON Management published expected work order resolution timelines: lawn work 7 business days; irrigation up to 1 month (water pressure available Tuesdays until noon and Fridays until 2 PM only); horticulture treatments including turf weeds, pests, fungus, and diseased plants up to 3 months. Open work orders outside these windows: contact Janaya Walden at 813-642-1125.
The pool was closed for the full day of April 29, 2026 for coping repair. The Club General Manager noted the repairs were necessary to improve safety and quality of the facility.
Effective April 7, 2026, pool gates are locked for entry. The front entrance is the only point of entry. All residents and guests must check in at the front desk. Guests receive daily wristbands and must remain with their resident host at all times. Each household is limited to four guests. Residents must carry their wristbands on clubhouse grounds at all times.
Lennar's site supervisor cites supplier delay. The HOA board reports no penalty clause was negotiated for late amenity delivery. Residents are paying full Club Membership Fees during the delay.
Three resident-led clubs have absorbed the programming gap. The position is funded from the Club operating budget, not the HOA, so the vacancy does not reduce HOA dues — but it delays programming residents are paying Club Membership Fees to receive.
A federal class action alleges an "illegal club fee scheme" at Lennar's Oasis Club — the identical mandatory fee structure used at Mirada, Southshore Bay, Angeline, Prosperity Lakes, and New Port Corners.
The Medley Club at Southshore Bay — purchased by its HOA for $8,550,000 in November 2025 — continues to operate at a loss. Members are paying approximately $108 per month in special assessments to service the acquisition loan.
By April 2025 — six months after Southshore Bay's resident board was seated — documents confirmed the purchase option was already active. The board had publicly stated they expected until April 2027. Mirada's Club Plan contains identical timeline language.
ICON Management has scheduled a turnover information meeting for June 2026. The actual board election date has not been announced. Three directors will be elected. If candidates equal seats, all are automatically seated without a vote.

Mandatory developer club fees including profit markup may violate Florida HOA law. Florida Supreme Court declined review. Controlling precedent statewide.
Same attorney who won Solivita. Same legal theory. Same fee structure. Southshore Bay signed a General Release waiving this claim as a condition of their HOA purchase.
Lennar hired lobbyists to push Florida SB 1118 exempting developer club fees from HOA law. The Senate Regulated Industries Committee chair declined to hold a hearing.
The Medley Club was deliberately structured outside Florida Chapter 720 — the Homeowners' Association Act — from the beginning. When the HOA purchases the Club, it inherits Chapter 720 constraints that Lennar specifically engineered around, including annual elections, member voting requirements, statutory reserves, and open records obligations.
HOA ownership is not the only path available to an incoming board. Other Florida communities facing similar developer-owned amenity structures have explored alternative arrangements that may better serve residents' long-term interests.
The incoming Mirada board should consult qualified Florida HOA legal counsel about what options may be available — before the 90-day option window opens, not after.
Editorial position: Medley Dispatch does not advocate for or against any specific ownership structure. The decision belongs to the incoming board — informed by qualified legal counsel — and ultimately to homeowners.
Before the HOA votes, someone should run the numbers. The option window is 90 days. After that it is gone forever. $534,850 flows to Lennar every year — that is the number the board has not explained.
