MEET YOUR CANDIDATES 2020 HARMONY CDD BOARD
DAN LEET
CDD Board Seat Number 1
My name is Dan Leet, and I am asking for your vote to serve on the Harmony CDD. My wife Christina and I are both Florida natives, and our daughter Hannah just started 4th grade at the Community School. We first discovered Harmony back in 2012, and built our home here in 2016. The combination of lakes, trails and wildlife, in a place convenient to both the coast and Orlando, made our decision easy. I’ve been attending CDD meetings regularly since even before we moved in. When SunTerra was trying to develop the park in front of Buck Lake, a neighbor asked if I could record the meeting for them. Since then, I’ve tried to stream or record every single meeting — the best way to keep a government accountable is to keep it accessible. I’ve researched the equipment, and discussed the logistical and legal 2 Harmony Life Magazine | September 2020
issues with Mark Pino, Public Relations Officer for Osceola County. It isn’t expensive, so if elected I would make implementing video meetings a personal priority. I’m running for Seat 1, which has been held by David Farnsworth for the past eight years. While I can’t claim to replace his experience and insight, I would be able to assume his job of maintaining the District website (harmonycdd.org). This saves the cost of hiring a contractor, and will ensure the website stays updated and compliant. For over two years, I’ve volunteered on the Harmony Animal and Nature Committee. I’m proud of my service there, especially when it comes to trail maintenance. Our team meets several times a year to mow, trim, clean, and preserve the many trails here. If elected, I would work to keep these excellent resources in the best shape possible. Thank you so much for your time, and don’t forget to vote! n
