She added that they needed someone to serve as Chair, as Vice-Chair, and three Supervisors that would be Assistant Secretaries along with George Flint.

On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Mr. Diaz, with all in favor, the Assignment of Aquatic Maintenance Services Vendor Contract, was approved.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion Regarding Adding Fence to
Playground Area (requested by Supervisor Diaz)
Ms. Burns stated that Supervisor Diaz requested this and turned the discussion over to Mr. Diaz. Mr. Diaz stated that he had some prices for adding a fence around the playground. There will be further discussion about whether to go for 230 feet or 320 feet. Mr. Diaz and Mr. Tindall will put together proposals from vendors and present them at the next meeting. Ms. Burns stated that $10,000 had already been allocated to the budget for the fence.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion Regarding Speeding Issues in
Community (requested by Supervisor Diaz)
Ms. Burns stated that Supervisor Diaz requested this item. Mr. Diaz stated that there have been issues with speeding in the community. There was a detailed discussion about installing cameras, but the CDD cannot implement tickets or fines. Installing speedbumps would be expensive and futile. Numerous calls to the police department, with exact locations and descriptions, were suggested in hopes that they would investigate the complaints. Ms. Burns noted that there is a street parking and towing policy that has designated no parking on streets except where noted.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion Regarding HOA Collaboration
(requested by Supervisor Diaz)

Mr. Diaz proposed that the existing parking policies be revised. Ms. Burns said they had a street parking and towing policy for Phase One that designated no on-street parking except for areas where noted. There is no overnight parking for commercial vehicles, vessels, boats, trailers, and things of that nature. The policy was only in effect in Phase One, as the Board previously decided not to put it in phases mainly under home construction. Ms. Burns added that in Phase Two, they were reaching a point where they were nearing the end. Ms. Burns said expanding the existing policy that was in place for Phase One and just adding Phase Two to the extent of changing the policy entirely. Ms. Burns offered to read the email sent to obtain resident feedback. She noted that the residents were concerned that the HOA was trying to convince the CDD to lend all street parking in the neighborhood, and they felt it was too restrictive. They explained that there would be nowhere for their guests to park. Even if using the overflow, there were not enough spots for the three Phases of the home to have guests there.
Ms. Burns stated that the residents understood that the streets were narrow and that there needed to be a parking policy in place. Ms. Burns said that the problem was that they were trying to use the CDD Parking Policy to deal with HOA issues. Ms. Burns stated that the HOA enforced a policy that residents must utilize their driveway as the first parking source. Ms. Burns said they have no authority over the HOA and don’t approve of anything. She added that they would confirm with their attorney what they can or cannot do. She noted that they own roadways and can add street parking and towing policies. Ms. Burns stated that residents must comply with traffic laws, and if someone were blocking a fire hydrant or a resident's driveway, they should call the police. Ms. Burns stated since the policy already existed; they didn’t need a separate hearing to extend it to that area. She added that if they were going to change the policy, for example, to no overnight parking, that would be something that would require a public hearing, and they would need to go through that process and advertise for approval.
Ms. Burns suggested they could move forward and approve a signed proposal to install signs, then do a mailed notice letting others know the specific date for the street parking and towing policy. Ms. Burns asked if there was a rough estimate of what the signage would cost. Ms. Burns added that the cost of the signage installed, based on the policy that was just approved, was
$5,253.51. Ms. Burns stated they may want to make a motion to approve, not to exceed $6,000.

On MOTION by Ms. Henley, seconded by Ms. Roden, with all in favor, Adding Phase 2 and Installing Signing in Phase 2 Not to Exceed $6,000, was approved.

Ms. Burns noted that once the signs were getting close to being installed, they would send out a mail notice and an E-blast with a date on where the enforcement would start. She added that they like giving the residents a few weeks’ notice. A Board member asked about a public hearing. Ms. Burns stated it was unnecessary because they were not changing the policy, just adding areas to it.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Presentation of Arbitrage Rebate Report
for Series 2020 Bonds
Ms. Burns stated that the District had to demonstrate under the Internal Revenue Code that they do not earn more interest than we pay on the bonds. She added that a negative amount was listed on page four of the report. Ms. Burns added that this was a requirement under the Trust Indenture on the Series 2020 bond.

On MOTION by Ms. Spencer, seconded by Ms. Roden, with all in favor, the Arbitrage Rebate Report for Series 2020 Bonds, was approved.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration of 2025 Data Sharing and
Usage Agreement with Polk County Property Appraiser
Ms. Burns stated that Items 10 and 11 could be taken together with one motion. Ms. Burns stated that the first was the consideration of the data sharing and usage agreement with the Polk County Property appraiser. She added that this was primarily administrative for their office. She added that the Property Appraiser would provide a listing of all the parcels and owners within the community so that they can collect their assessments on the tax bill. Ms. Burns stated that certain professions such as police or judges are exempt from having their information turned over to members of the public. She noted that that information to them was them agreeing they would not disclose that.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	2025	Contract
Agreement with Polk County Property Appraiser
Ms. Burns stated that the second agreement was for the annual renewal of the contract with Polk County, which required the agreement to be entered into every year, so this was standard. Ms. Burns stated that the Board approves theses contracts every year.

On MOTION by Mr. Diaz, seconded by Ms. Roden, with all in favor, the 2025 Data Sharing and Usage Agreement with Polk County Property Appraiser and the 2025 Contract Agreement with Polk County Property Appraiser were approved.

Field Manager’s Report (to be provided under separate cover)
Update Regarding Front Entrance Lighting and Fountain (requested by Supervisor Diaz)
Mr. Tindall presented the Field Manager's Report. He stated that the amenity repairs were complete. Mr. Tindall said that the drainage system was being improved. He mentioned a significant number of leaves that would be taken care of. Several dead trees were removed. Tree tissue samples were taken and sent to be analyzed before deciding to replace the trees. It was not yet determined if there was a fungus problem or a bacterial problem. Mr. Tindall stated that he would have more information on the status of the dead and dying trees.
Mr. Tindall noted that they would check the lights at the entrance, there may be a breaker issue. He noted that another light was out and had been replaced. He thought the kids might have kicked it. He mentioned possibly putting a cage around it for more security. Mr. Tindall noted they have a lot of trash, and it was extreme during the holidays. He said that it wasn’t the CDD vendors

leaving the trash around. He wasn’t sure whether it was residents leaving or outsiders dumping trash. That is an issue they are working to resolve. He noted a sign at the back entrance that was no longer there and he stated that it would be replaced. Mr. Tindall noted that the solar lighting proposal that was initially spoken about would find out if it was paid for and not executed or just not executed at all.
