OLD BUSINESS
Update Regarding Street Lighting Project

Mr. Hammond noted that the project was proceeding, but a bit slower than last month. He indicated that completion was expected in mid-December and everything looked good.

Consider Proposal for Somerset Fountains

Mr. Earlywine advised that agenda items J-2 and J-3 should be considered together. He explained that the HOA was comfortable taking the fountains and they will also be responsible for maintaining them.

Ms. Sullivan, President of the Somerset HOA, gave an update on the HOA meeting and the acceptance and maintenance of various fountains, which will be removed at their cost, if necessary. She added that a committee had been set up to monitor the electrical costs of the fountains.

Mr. Earlywine added that the District has the right to terminate the agreement, if the fountains interfere with any permit requirement or maintenance of the lakes.

(ADDED ITEM) – Consider Conveyance of Somerset Lake Tracts

Mr. Earlywine went over the background and stated that a bill of sale, similar to what was used in the past, is necessary in order to grant the lakes to the CDD, excluding the fountains. Mr. Evans went over the cost of the lake bank slope issue, adding that there were several alternatives for repairs, ranging from $15,000-$50,000, with the $50,000 repair being a more permanent fix. He stated that Pulte contends the repair is due to erosion. There was general discussion regarding the stance to take with Pulte and Mr. Earlywine disclosed a possible conflict of interest, if the issue is litigated, since the HG&S firm works with Pulte. He suggested pushing back on Pulte for a fix, or split of cost since ownership has not yet been turned over. Mr. Hammond stated that there would be no harm in approaching the firm again. Mr. Earlywine advised that the District has an obligation to accept the ponds, but not until they are in order. He suggested that Mr. Evans firm up a quote for the repairs. Mr. Gordish advised that they have photos of the slope and it has not changed since being built. There was a consensus of the Board to table both above items 2 & 3 until the next meeting.

NEW BUSINESS
Review Fourth Annual Monitoring Report and South Florida Water Management District Compliance Meeting

Mr. Myers went over the issue, explaining that the District was still monitoring the wetland of the Arborwood Preserve (Parcel C) and that the most recent monitoring report had been submitted, but had received a notice of non-compliance. Mr. Myers noted that the issue was for certain invasives and areas that need plantings so that 80% is covered with non-evasives. He stated that this was a routine letter and required a response in 30 days for which he asked for a temporary extension to come up with a schedule for addressing the issues. He added that he would be drafting a planting plan, estimated to cost between $3,500- $5,000, which work would be done during the dry season along with nuisance plant remediation during normal treatment.

A motion was made by Mrs. Pattison, seconded by Mr. Carr and passed unanimously directing Mr. Myers to drafting a planting plan, estimated to cost between $3,500- $5,000, which work would be done during the dry season along with nuisance plant remediation during normal treatment.
