Medley-affiliated organizations now have multiple OVERLAPPING BOARD MEMBERS (including between non-profit, for profit and public entities). (See August 2025 Update re Breeze/Kai)
See for yourself -- Go to the public FL corporations website here: https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName and read the 2025 Annual Reports for the organizations below. Each report lists its current board members and legal agents. Multiple directors are common to two or three boards!
- #1. Search for "Medley at Southshore Bay Homeowners Association" (our nonprofit Medley HOA sub-association.) Review the 2025 Annual Report for the names of our five board members. (For privacy, we will list only their Initials: MS, KC, SW, DN, TR, but you can look up on the FL sunbiz site.) Note that all five current Medley HOA members also served on Medley's 2024 Transition Steering Committee associated with our builder. Next....
- #2. Search for "Southshore Bay Homeowners Association" (This nonprofit Master Association now has one board member (KC) in common with HOA #1 above and three directors in common with our Hidden Creek board below. plus its president (JR) serves as President of two Metro LLCs. . This HOA may include DR Horton homes in our Master HOA (#2).
- #3. "Hidden Creek CDD", our FL public community development district, has two board members (KC, MS) in common with our HOA #1 and one with HOA#2 (ML). Visit https://www.hiddencreekcdd.org/elections which lists its directors.
- #4 "Southshore Bay CDD" the FL public community development district for homes/borders outside Medley's gates, includes DR Horton homes. That board is listed here: https://www.southshorebaycdd.org/elections (Four of five directors overlap with HOA #2: ML, DD, BC, LP, CR))
When you consider that common board members of these for profit organizations affecting Medley, there appears to be potential conflicts. For example, for profit METRO LAGOONS, LLC shares another board member with Master HOA #2 (JR). The concerning part about that is that METRO DEVELOPMENT https://metrodevelopmentgroup.com/communities/southshore-bay/ appears to be parent to brands that we use including:
UltraFi internet/connectivity Streetleaf street lighting
Can directors be truly independent when they serve on both for profit boards and their businesses (whose goals are to maximize profits) , and also serve as non profit or public board directors that negotiates with those very same vendors and organizations? It no longer seems like arms-length transactions.
Beyond that, the same Community Association Business ('CAB'), BREEZE HOMES (a.k.a. Kai), manages HOA#2, Hidden Creek CDD, Southshore Bay CDD, also administers our "Southshore Bay Club" ( by METRO LAGOONS). Breeze was rebranded as KAI this year.
August 2025 Update - did you hear?, one CDD resident filed in court petitioning to get statutorily-mandated -- but withheld -- financial documents from Hidden Creek CDD & Breeze. It took him months of effort but Breeze/CDD begrudgingly complied. Read about it here -- www.hiddencreekcdd.com (an independent CDD website.)
Back in May 2025, we at MedleyMembers searched and found the original Breeze Connected, LLC (#CAB5741) searching CAB/CAM firms on Florida's DBPR license search site. Now KAI Connected, LLC just got listed as #CAB5741 - but are not linked to Breeze as the same company despite it being announced to customers as only a "rebrand". (Did that just conveniently disassociate them from the License complaint against them as Breeze?)
