Discussion Regarding Sewer Viewer for Drainage Pipe Inspection

Mr. Lorenz will save this item for his Engineer’s Report.

Status of Dragonfly Bank Repairs

The repairs have been completed by Dragonfly. Due to heavy rains, more than 10 inches in 4 days, Dragonfly went back out to check the completed work and the repairs held up for the first 3 days, but there is approximately $9,000 in repairs that need to be done to remediate the damage caused by the heavy rains. Dragonfly and Mr. Lorenz will work together to create a more accurate estimate for the Board. Mr. Schrotenboer asked if there were any delays by the contractor. The contractor was on site working within 2 weeks of the contract execution.

Status of Pulte Parcel Transfer and Conditions for Acceptance

Mr. Haber noted that the CDD had agreed to accept new property, when needed, for CDD functions, operating and maintaining District assets. F.D.5 is not needed. The CDD can accept the parcel but would not be required to do so. The Bridgetown HOA would be a potential fit for the parcel. The Lakes 1-5, as depicted on the exhibit, would be parcels that are needed for operating and maintaining District assets. The golf course legal team are still reviewing the platting issue that Mr. Gordish shared.

Acceptance of Centex Parcels

The financials were shared with the Board. There were no questions.
Page 3 of 5

Ms. Krizen shared that she called regarding a nuisance alligator, requesting that it be removed.

There was a pool completed and the HOA has requested the District Engineer look at the drainage prior to the HOA releasing the deposit. Mr. Lorenz will take a look and let the HOA know accordingly.

Attorney’s Report

Mr. Haber had nothing further to report but was available for questions. The Board had no questions at this time.

Engineer’s Report

The traffic monitoring was part of the Department of Regional Impact requirements. This was last done in 2018. Since the community is built out and there are other entities that complete the study, the CDD is hoping to be granted an exemption. Mr. Lorenz has reached out regarding the redundancy and will update the Board once he receives a response.

The Lawndale pool drain is an HOA amenity and HOA responsibility.

The sewer viewer cost is $3,900 a day for scoping and approximately $4,000 for cleanouts of blockages.

Field Inspector’s Report

Mr. Hirniak advised that the lakes were functioning as designed and that the rain came quickly. Twelve inches in one week. The flow ways are flowing correctly and water levels are going down, as anticipated. He further indicated that the overgrowth needed to be sprayed.

Preserves Compliance Report

Woods & Wetlands work had started and was ongoing. Passarella encouraged them to finish prior to the rainy season. Inspections found sone exotics and reported them to Woods & Wetlands. This area will be rechecked.
BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
Mr. Gordish fielded calls from concerned residents about the pond levels. He noted that he explained drainage to the residents.
Mr. Aycock was concerned about the 2 drains by Basin 1 being cleaned and maintained properly by the HOA.

Mr. Schrotenboer asked about the credits. It was noted that there had been no action by the entities. Ms. Krizen will reach out to the entities.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, a MOTION was made by Mr. Aycock, seconded by Mr. Schrotenboer and passed unanimously adjourning the Regular Board Meeting at 10:13 a.m.
