FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Good News
Mr. Carney: Good news segment. Does anybody have any good news to report tonight?
Mr. Morgan: Welcome to 2024. Everybody is here so that is good news. Mr. Carney: We lost a lot of people over the year but here we are.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comment
Mr. Carney: Public comment. Chris Kapish, do you have anything?
Mr. Kapish: Yes, sure. When you guys moved to the church here, how many other bids did you get from other places?
Mr. Carney: Julio, do you want to answer Chris’s question, please? Mr. Padilla: I didn’t listen to him, sir.
Mr. Carney: How many bids did we get for meeting locations? How long were you looking for meeting rooms before you found one?
Mr. Padilla: I don’t have the exact number, but we tried every venue that we were able to, city and private. Some of the hours just didn’t work. Quite a few.
Mr. Carney: Ok.
Mr. Kapish: Did you contact other churches or mosques? Mr. Padilla: No.
Mr. Kapish: Just this church? Mr. Padilla: Just this one.
Mr. Kapish: How much are we paying for this a month? Mr. Padilla: $100 per meeting.
Mr. Carney: What were we paying at the hotel Julio?
Mr. Padilla: Over $300 probably more or less per meeting. Mr. Carney: Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: How many city buildings did you contact? Did you contact the mayor or the city manager or anything?
Mr. Carney: This is a public comment section. You don’t have to answer questions. Chris can make a comment and you can get back to him via email. Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: OK so you don’t want Julio to answer the question, is that what you are saying?
Mr. Carney: No, it is a public comment section. It is not a Q&A.
Mr. Kapish: I know it is a public comment and you are supposed to be transparent.
Mr. Carney: Julio, how many places did you contact before we decided on the church?

Mr. Padilla: I contacted Coral Springs, Margate, and Coconut Creek. Contacts whatever was on websites, were just the person responsible for the rooms. I didn’t contact the mayor or city manager.
Mr. Carney: Just so you know I contacted the city, and they wanted a quote of $90 an hour. We have a two-hour meeting so that didn’t fit well. Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: The difference is the city buildings are public and this is a private building. That is the big difference. I think that is what is being lost in your methodology. If we can’t afford to go to a hotel or a public place because if you go and talk to the people in Tallahassee that oversee the CDDs and Taxing Districts, they will tell you firsthand which I have taken many classes about is that they will tell you not to have it in a private building, always to have it in a public building. I think Mike would probably back that statement up.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I am going to answer that because this meeting location is open to the public. Nobody is restricted from coming here. In fact, it is no different then the hotel which is a private building that is open to the public or GMS is a private building that is open to the public. As long as the meeting is open to the public, it doesn’t have to be in a quote-unquote publicly owned building.
Mr. Kapish: Did you guys try Forest Glen Middle School?
Mr. Carney: Julio, so you had given the office of the church meeting times and dates for the rest of the year and we are committed, right?
Mr. Padilla: Yes.
Mr. Carney: We can always change it. I know that but right now we are committed.
They are holding it for us, so we are good for that?
Mr. Padilla: Correct.
Mr. Carney: Ok. Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: Yes, do you a have contract for this situation? Mr. Padilla: We have an agreement.
Mr. Kapish: I am going to make a public records request to see it.
Mr. Padilla: Yes, you can just go ahead with the public records request, and I will send it to you. Give me to the end of the day tomorrow since I just got back from vacation.

Mr. Winfree: Aside from just being confrontational Chris, what is your big concern with using this facility as opposed to a hotel or a synagogue or anywhere else? You seem to have some particular problem.
Mr. Pawelczyk: This is really a public comment. If you guys want to talk about that outside of the meeting you can.
Mr. Winfree: Ok.
Mr. Carney: Debi, do you have anything? Ms. Devin: No.
Mr. Carney: Ken?
Resident Ken: No.
Mr. Carney: Thank you very much. You will get that over to Chris? Mr. Padilla: Yes.

SIXITH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of the Minutes of the
November   27,   2023   and
December 11, 2023 Meetings
Mr. Carney: Approval of the minutes of the November 27, 2023 and December 11, 2023 meetings. I have a question for the minutes. We had a meeting on November 27, and we had a meeting on December 11 and there are two weeks in-between, isn’t that two weeks long enough to get meeting minutes transcribed and approved? We are approving minutes now from November 27th and it is the first week in January. Isn’t that quite a delay?
Mr. Padilla: That is not always the case. Usually, if you do it once a month it works out well, but when you have to do it twice a month it is really hard for them to do it.
Mr. Carney: Is that what they are doing? Two meetings a month? Mr. Padilla: For us.
Mr. Carney: Is that typically what they do for most CDDs? Mr. Padilla: They are usually one meeting a month.
Mr. Carney: Ok that is why. Understood.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t want to speak for Julio, but I think GMS does its best to try to get your meeting minutes every meeting.

Mr. Carney: I understand that makes sense. We need a motion to approve the meeting minutes for November 27 and December 11.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, the Minutes of the November 27, 2023 and December 11, 2023 Meetings were approved.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution
#2024-04 Amending Prior Adopted Surplus Property Resolution
Mr. Carney: Consideration of Resolution #2024-04 Amending Prior Adopted Surplus Property Resolution signposts.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I will jump in. This is a cleanup item because back in August the Board declared certain poles, eight of them as surplus, the poles that were lying under the easement or something like that. It turns out that the District is going to use four of those poles, so this is an amendment to that prior resolution. The resolution in your book you will see has an amended Exhibit A1. The three that are crossed out are the three poles that the District is keeping. Four of those other remaining will be surplus. There is one and it is the third one listed in Exhibit A1. We have corrected the resolution that is going to be signed tonight should you adopt it to strike through the type TOW Pole StressCrete manufactured on 8-18-2021 Serial Number 21050329.1. We struck through that one because the District is going to utilize that. The District is going to use four of the eight poles and we are only going to declare four as surplus. Does anybody have any questions? Motion to adopt Resolution #2024-04 as amended.
Mr. Shipe: Barry, how does that affect you?
Mr. Winfree: You are looking at attachment A. The third pole is not struck out. Just draw a line through that one. That is the four and the four that Mike was talking about.
Mr. Carney: Does that take care of what you are looking for? Mr. Winfree: Yes.

Mr. Pawelczyk: We were going to use three and then it turned out we are going to use four since the resolution was prepared. We kind of found this out fairly recently so we are just kind of being forthcoming and present it to the Board this way.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, Resolution #2024-04 Amending Prior Adopted Surplus Property Resolution was approved.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	to	Maintain	other
Communities	Landscape Entrances
Mr. Carney: Discussion to maintain other communities landscape entrances. I would like to start that if you don’t mind. At the end of the last meeting, I wasn’t really sure what was going on, so I didn’t have a lot to say. Between the last meeting and this meeting, I came across or requested the landscape easement for Hidden Lakes which was drafted on March 26, 2013, between Hidden Lakes at Turtle Run Homeowners Association and the Turtle Run Community Development District. It does say right at the bottom and Barry was correct in what he was saying at the last meeting, the grantor does hereby grant unto the Turtle Run Community Development District an easement over the easement land at CDD’s sole cost and expense to construct, reconstruct, replace, maintain landscape improvements including but not limited to trees, bushes, flowers, plants, sod, ground cover, and irrigation systems. All such improvements existing on easement land at the time this easement is executed by the parties shall be conveyed by the bill of sale. That says that we signed an agreement to maintain the landscaping easement. Then I did a little further research to find out that in 2014 and Mike is aware of this, I think that there was a maintenance agreement drawn up in 2014 and it has Hidden Lakes entrance on it, but the landscape maintenance agreement was never signed and never executed. What I want to do is I want to go back to Julio, by the way, this agreement was signed in 2013 by the ex-Chairman just so you know. I would like to go back and talk to Julio and ask Julio to check his records to go back to 2013/2014 to see if there is a maintenance agreement with Hidden Lakes executing the maintenance.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I want to say that the maintenance agreement was prepared at the same time as the easement. It was never executed then. The 2014 version of that maintenance agreement was another attempt to get Hidden Lakes to sign it. I don’t know if they ever signed it or not. I don’t think they did for whatever reason.
Mr. Carney: I see Barbara Delorus's signature on the agreement, the landscape easement. I think that is where we need to leave that at this point. Find out what is really going on with this situation. Ok, Julio?
Mr. Morgan: Is it your contention or is it the Board’s contention that we are willing to provide this service to Hidden Lake or other communities? What is your feeling on it? Let’s get it out in the open because if we are, I am fine with that. My point is that if we are going to offer to take care of Hidden Lake or other community's main entrances, then we need to offer that to all of our communities including all the residential, the apartments, and even the businesses. They all pay taxes to the CDD. Some of them pay hefty taxes to the CDD. This time with things being really expensive, I am sure Barry’s communities want some relief. I am sure other communities feel that way too. I did have an opportunity to talk to Rebecca and she told me she had talked to you also and she said that by all means, she would love for us to take care of her landscaping and save them as much as
$30,000 to $35,000, that was her estimate. I don’t think she got someone to tell her the exact amount. However, my point being is we found an extra $700,000 from what I have been told. We have plenty of money. If somebody needs help, that is what this Board is here for. We would need to offer it to everybody who asks for it.
Mr. Carney: I am not asking you to do anything. I am just going through documents that were signed in 2013.
Mr. Morgan: I just wanted to see if the Board would be in favor of pursuing that.
Mr. Carney: What I just wanted to do is clear up the issue we had at the last meeting and say this document exists. Barry just wasn’t making it up.
Mr. Morgan: Mike if the other document in 2014 was never executed, wouldn’t that default to the 2013 as still being valid?
Mr. Pawelczyk: The easement is still valid no matter what even if you have a maintenance agreement. The CDD is still ultimately responsible for those improvements because they are the CDD’s improvements at the entrance. Those are not Hidden Lake

HOAs or anyone like that. It is a CDD improvement that Hidden Lake was maintaining supposedly pursuant to a maintenance agreement, but I don’t know if it was ever executed. After the last meeting, I sent an email to GMS and told them that there was an unexecuted maintenance agreement with Hidden Lakes. There is an unexecuted maintenance agreement with Harbor Island. There is an unexecuted agreement with the Estates of Turtle Run and there is an unexecuted agreement with Newport that I had in my files. I don’t maintain the files. I will try to get all the documents. I know Newport, I remember specifically rejecting this program. Remember they said no easement. I know we have easements for the Estates of Turtle Run and Harbor Island. I don’t know if we have a maintenance agreement. I don’t know if it was ever executed, prepared and sent to them but I don’t know if they were ever executed.
Mr. Morgan: I am just trying to clarify my position as to the last meeting.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Regardless of what you do, if we decide to move forward with this as a Board we still need to have easement rights over any areas or ownership over any areas we are maintaining. You can’t just maintain everything. We have to have an easement prepared and drawn up, legal descriptions and record it in a public record.
Mr. Morgan: Absolutely.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We don’t want to make it sound as easy as it is. It is potentially kind of expensive to do for each entrance.
Mr. Carney: I have two things I want to say. One is I don’t think, I don’t want to speak for the Board, but I don’t think we want to open up the Pandora’s box and start redoing the entire communities landscape. I think it would be very expensive. I am not encouraging us to maintain anybody’s landscape. I am just bringing the facts to the table right now. There is one thing I will discuss later in the meeting which is what I think we need to do is we need to start looking at capital improvement projects for the District. I will talk about that a little bit later. If someone feels strongly about us maintaining and doing the landscaping for the entire District well then it would become part of the capital improvement project listing with the cost and expense affiliated with it. Then we prioritize as a Board our capital improvement project list. That is where I think we need to go. That is for another conversation. That is where we are.

Mr. Winfree: Let’s look at this from a two-step process. One, let’s see if we can find the document if it was ever executed for anyone. When we do, won’t we as a Board decide what is the intent behind everything we want to do? I mean if you look at the four different documents that we have about landscaping easements, one wasn’t even acted upon and the other three are very different. One says we will maintain and another one says we won’t maintain. I think we need to get together as a Board to what is our intent. What do we want to do once we find out whether all these others were executed or not? Then come up with what we as a Board want to do. Does that sound more feasible than just trying to just jump into doing everything at this point?
Mr. Carney: I agree.
Ms. Karnegis: I agree because I had questions myself about that. If now we find out there was an agreement for one area at that time in 2013, was there a reason that we did not give the same thing to everyone else? I am hearing that we have the money. The Board does not make decisions because there is money, and we are just going to spend it. We need to make wise decisions and look at what is best. I am curious about back in 2013 why at that time only one, but now we have additional information that other areas may have turned it down at that time. It seems like we are going back to 2013 and starting all over again. I agree that we need to make decisions today as to what is best and what the Board is going to do.
Mr. Morgan: To answer your question, I believe the first easement agreement in 2013 came up because we improved several of the community front entrances. We put in a new landscaping package at Hidden Lake and Harbor Island and maybe someplace else. That is when the first agreements were struck. If you remember probably about six months ago, maybe a little longer Ms. Winfree came to the Board via Zoom and asked us as a one-time thing could we freshen up her entrance. Maybe it was about a year ago. Pat, when did we do that?
Mr. Szozda: It was probably the early part of last year.
Mr. Morgan: So at that time she came and asked the Board was that a one-time thing that we offered her from 2013 or is it something that we could improve upon or redo or freshen up and the Board agreed to that. I don’t know what the 2014 was about. I am not sure of that.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I am going to tell you my recollection was, and it was maybe because I spoke with Dennis about it because I would ask where are the maintenance agreements. Why aren’t Hidden Lake and Harbor Island, why aren’t they signing these and getting them back to us? Finally, I just gave up because that is not really my job, so I just gave up trying to find it because apparently it wasn’t important enough to them. They just never got it to me. I think my understanding was that those two associations were maintaining the entrances that we improved. They were providing the maintenance and funding it. I remember this CDD Board and some of you were on it and didn’t want to fund the maintenance. We said we would improve it, but we are not going to pay to maintain it and that was the deal at the time. I think what Lance is saying is maybe that has changed.
Mr. Morgan: That is my recollection also, but things can be amended and adapted and so on. I have no problem with that.
Mr. Shipe: I am just curious if anybody remembers, I know Hidden Lake came to us and asked this time. Do you remember back then those two associations saying we are in financial hardship, we would like some help, or did we say we don’t think your landscape is up to standards?
Mr. Morgan: I believe that we offered the help to update their entrances because we put dahoon hollies in and at the time the theme was back in 2013 if you remember Skip, dahoon hollies were everywhere. I think they got six or eight dahoon hollies in their entrance and so did Harbor Island. Since then, Harbor Island maybe two years ago updated their entrance at their expense but Ms. Winfree came and asked us about a year ago to do theirs and we agreed to do that. That is my understanding that we were going to do the updating out of our expense, and they were going to maintain it at that time. Things change.
Mr. Kapish: What Mike said, and your saying is correct. If you want to contact Barb, those are the people you should be asking probably if she remembers it and she will probably tell you.
Mr. Morgan: We can always amend it one way or the other or update the amendments if we have to.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I think the question now is with respect to Hidden Lake and Harbor Island entrances. We just to need make sure we know who is maintaining those entrances going forward would be the question I would have.
Mr. Morgan: Well Harbor Island tore out all of our landscaping that we put in 2013. It was old and dilapidated. The dahoon hollies, their lifespan had ended, and they went ahead and redid it themselves. They didn’t come to the Board.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I am just saying we have a landscape easement in there so maybe we need to figure out who is maintaining it and if they are maintaining it that is great, but I think we just want to make sure that those entrances are correctly provided for.
Mr. Winfree: Actually, if you go back, the first landscape easement that was made was made with Cypress Pointe. That was back in 2003. If you read that document it says in the document Cypress Pointe will maintain it. The next two that were made said that the CDD would maintain it, so I think there were some changes going on. I don’t know what the verbal agreements were. You can make verbal agreements all over the place. Let’s go back and make everything the way we think it should be.
Mr. Pawelczyk: They don’t have to be consistent, they just have to be accurate. Mr. Winfree: Exactly.
Mr. Morgan: Just to make the record right I don’t ever remember BrightView or ValleyCrest ever maintaining Hidden Lake or Harbor Island entrances since we put the new landscaping in. Maybe the intent of the easement was something else and we just didn’t follow through with it. I don’t know. It doesn’t really matter, now we can remedy that and make it right.
Mr. Shipe: Does the maintenance easement have to stay in place like we went into Hidden Lake and put the landscaping in now? Can we pull back that landscape easement so that now it is theirs and we don’t have any say on it?
Mr. Pawelczyk: No, you could have done that in Harbor Island after all the landscaping died, but now that you just put it in there, that is our easement. That is our stuff.
Mr. Morgan: We can cancel any agreement.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We can’t cancel that one because you used assessment dollars to fund the improvement. I would say once that improvement uses its useful life you could,

but we have streetlights and other things in that easement. You could amend it sure but legally I have one recommendation then policy-wise I just think you just need to make sure we know who is doing what where. If you are going to maintain the entrances that is fine, but we have to make sure the HOA knows we are going to maintain the entrances, so they don’t touch those areas without talking to Pat or Patrick just to make sure there is some coordination there.
Mr. Shipe: I guess my point would be that I am not saying we do or we don’t but as a Board if we decide do we want to do the maintenance because we want to keep the standard up, and we don’t think they will or we think that the money that comes into the District can be spread through the private communities I guess is my thoughts.
Mr. Morgan: Could be a little bit of both I guess. I think most of the communities keep their main entrances up pretty good for the most part. It could be a little bit of both.
Mr. Carney: I think we have to be careful with cherry-picking though.
Mr. Winfree: I think we need to be consistent, and we need to get our verbiage consistent so that we are all doing the same thing all the time.
Mr. Carney: They have done their own landscaping and maintenance for a lot of years, and I don’t think there is a problem with them continuing it. Right, Barry?
Mr. Winfree: No.
Mr. Pawelczyk: If that is the case then they need to sign the maintenance agreement. We don’t have to talk about it now. I am just saying if they are going to maintain our landscaping there needs to be an agreement, not this verbal stuff.
Mr. Carney: Ok got you. That makes sense.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Then we can put in the agreement what they are maintaining. They are not maintaining the streetlights, but they are maintaining the landscaping.
Mr. Carney: We brought up Cypress Pointe briefly and I want to talk about that for a minute. Rebecca did talk to Lance and Rebecca did talk to me and she kind of came to the conclusion that asking for the entire landscaping to be done and maintained and all that might be a stretch. She asked a question, can the District trim our oak trees on Sample Road? I asked Jonathan that and Jonathan went into the easement or whatever there is, and he said by the easement we can trim her oak trees. Now if you look at all the oak trees along the Boulevard we trim those. If you look at all the oak trees in front of

Harbor Island and Newport, we trim those. Now Sample Road oak trees may fall in line with the same thing we are doing now on Turtle Run Boulevard. I think we could do her oak trees. By the way it is written, Jonathan said yes, we can do that.
Mr. Winfree: Aren’t they in the easement we have with the city right-of-way? I don’t see any reason why we couldn’t.
Mr. Carney: Since we do every oak tree in the CDD, I think we should be able to do her oak trees. We agree in principle on that one?
Mr. Morgan: I agree. We probably used to do them. It just seems to me that for the last four or five years BrightVIew has had some growing pains and so on. We have had three different property managers as you know Skip, and it seems like every year some things don’t get done that were done a year or two ago. An example would be the park. I got called by the property manager this year and Will said it is not clear who cuts the oak trees in the park or the sable palms in the park. It is not really delineated. My answer was you guys have always done them. You should do them. I don’t think they did them this year.
Mr. Carney: Last year we did the palm trees. The City did the oaks. That is what you call an agreement, a partnership.
Mr. Morgan: My point is it seems like every year BrightView just doesn’t get as much work done as they did the year before for us.
Mr. Carney: So we can agree on Cypress Pointe the oak trees, as long as the language spells that out, Mike?
Mr. Winfree: If they are in the right-of-way, why not? Mr. Carney: Ok.
Mr. Pawelczyk: My recollection of the Cypress Pointe easement, the entrance we weren’t going to maintain any of that because they are on the other side.
Mr. Winfree: And it states that right in the easement. Mr. Pawelczyk: Yes.
Mr. Carney: We are talking about the oak trees left and right of her entrance which everybody has those, and we maintain those. Ok let’s move on.
NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Fences/Variances
into CDD Easement

one?

Mr. Carney: Number 9 discussion of fences/variances. Who wants to speak on that

Mr. Shipe: I will start. I know we had the homeowner from Hidden Lake come in.

They rescinded their request. They are going to keep their fence outside of the easement. I did a little bit of research on the lake maintenance easements that other Districts have, and I would say three-quarters of them have forms available for the homeowners to have a variance. I tried to find out exactly when was the last time we actually would have needed to go in there and I don’t know how much they were in there with the geo-tube but there hasn’t been any times that we have needed to get in there, especially with large vehicles as far as cleaning out if trees fell in or anything. I don’t think there is any recollection of that ever happening. Just in the future, I think that we don’t have to put a policy in because it is an individual variance each time, but it is the homeowner's property. If they put a replaceable fence of knowing that with two weeks notice, the fence would have to come down if we had a maintenance item that needed to go in there that maybe should think about letting people have variances.
Mr. Winfree: We are talking about fences, no permanent structures or anything like
that.
Mr. Shipe: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: No decks. Nothing that is a permanent structure.
Mr. Morgan: I think the Board does have a policy. That is what we act upon
currently now as to be able to say there are no variances in any easement property. We would have to rescind the current Board policy if that is the way you want to go about it or remove the easement of 10 or 20 feet. I think it is 10 feet in some locations and 20 feet in other locations. What we found Rob was years and years ago people had palm trees, oaks, and other giant landscaping that made it impenetrable. You can’t knock down trees like maybe you can a fence during an emergency type condition. I know a couple of my neighbors had nothing but palm trees across the back there and they had to remove them. They weren’t happy about it. That is what the Board adopted at the time. You are right as far as any weather event, we lived through Andrew, Wilma, and the one a couple of years ago where we didn’t have to get into any of the lakes.

Mr. Carney: Dennis told me we lost one tree in 30 years that fell into the lake.
Mr. Morgan: As far as getting in there, if there were a catastrophic event I think the lakes would probably be the last thing we would clean up. The Board did make that policy years ago. That is why we made people remove landscaping out of the easement.
Mr. Shipe: I don’t know what Board policy actually means. I have been here for a year. If there is some workbook of policies, shouldn’t that be available somewhere that we could access? If it is a policy, where is it recorded?
Mr. Morgan: I am just going by memory. I guess they do a search and find that out right? Find out all of our policies. Where would that be?
Mr. Pawelczyk: GMS would have it if there were one. I don’t think there is any resolution that declares or approves this policy. I think it has just been the repeated actions of the Board to protect the easement area and particularly the lakes.
Mr. Winfree: What does constitute a policy, and should we put the policy into what actually constitutes it? In other words, let’s just not say that we have something that is not there.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That is up to you how you want to handle it. I know if there is an encroachment in the easement, GMS if they see it they are going to report it and try to act on it. I believe it is up to you if you want to create a policy. It is our easement, so it needs to be kept clear.
Mr. Winfree: I completely agree. The only thing I am saying is it was not a pretty meeting the last time when we told somebody they couldn’t encroach. If we had something that was in writing, it would be real simple saying nope, there it is, we are done.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think to Rob’s point, he is saying that each property can be looked at and it has a unique situation. What if I buy a property in Turtle Run and I come in there and I buy it and I say I need to put my fence around my pool deck? I am not encroaching anymore than is already there. I bought it and I actually encroached one foot into the easement into a 20-foot easement. Are you going to make me remove my pool deck because there is one foot there? You can, but I could still use the lake maintenance easement to access it because I have 19 feet left. I could still get through there. In that case, you could do an encroachment agreement or some sort of revocable license

agreement that says if we ever need to get in there in exchange for not making you remove it.
Mr. Winfree: The reason I am saying that is in the last meeting I remember someone brought up a case-by-case basis and even the homeowner brought that up and the answer back from a couple of people on the Board was nope, that is the policy.
Mr. Pawelczyk: As you know three Board members can change the policy of this Board. It is really up to you if you want to direct staff to create a policy and have guidelines for that and you have the approval of two other Board members, we can do that.
Mr. Morgan: One of the things that we ran into years ago when we made people remove fences and landscaping out of the easement was a lot of people would take a five or six-foot-high wood shadow box fence and run it down to the lake. One of our neighbors was complaining that it blocked his lake view one way or the other because the fence went right down to the water. These are the types of things that a lot of times people say it is my land and this is also the lake for everybody to see east, west, north, and south. That was one of the complaints that we heard from some neighbors. You may love your fence and I may hate your fence, but that is just the way it is. Steve Greenbaum the neighbor next to him had the fence right down the water's edge and he had an issue with that because he didn’t have his lake views east and west. So these are the types of things we have to take into account. The main thing why we adopted a policy was when we gave permission for Mr. Andies and other residents we allowed people to actually put their fences into an easement. Then everybody started asking for the same right to do that and we found it to be problematic. Then we rescinded. It was written up that it could be rescinded at any time. The Board actually felt bad about something we had just recently passed, and we actually put up the money and paid for the removal of the fences that they had put into the easements. We kind of ate that cost because we gave them permission and then within six months we pulled back the permission, so the Board did the right thing and stepped up and paid for that. Mr. Andies was not too happy about it. He threatened to file a lawsuit against us, but I don’t think it ever happened. Just to give you some background Barry and Rob. Chris, can you add to that?
Mr. Kapish: No. I was just going to say that actually the District sued Mr. Andies because he refused to remove his fence. The reason why the District has that policy is

because you never give up your easements. They are your easements for your use. Once you make it a black and white issue you start shading it grey, then it becomes a big mishmash. The problem was on the Boulevard you had people putting fences out six feet, four feet and there was no uniformity. You lose the look.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The legal way to look at this from a real estate standpoint is that when I buy a house on a lake in Turtle Run, that easement is there. That is what I bought. I signed it. I know that easement is there. If there was not an easement there I would have paid more money for that house because that easement is an area of restricted use. You can’t use it for everything. You can use it for green space, but you can’t interfere with our ability to maintain the lake. You can’t put a pool in there. You can’t put a gazebo in there. You can’t put a lot of hedges down there. That is one way to look at it from the legal side. Mr. Morgan: I have no problem with residents coming and asking us for easements. The old saying is if you don’t ask the answer is always no. I have no problem doing that. It is just the Board has to have the fortitude to say this is policy. If you start picking and choosing, then you are going to have a hodgepodge of things maybe in the easement and then it won’t look as pristine as it does right now. I don’t live on the lake but for people that do live on the lake, I would imagine they like their lake views in different
directions without fence and over-vegetation. That is just my opinion. Thank you.
Mr. Carney: Alright, can we move on? Mr. Winfree: Yes.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Carney: Staff reports. Mike.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The only thing I wanted to bring up was I had some questions before and right before this meeting on Form 6. You know we have our Form 1 Statement of Finances we have to file. Form 6 is something that for instance your legislators have to file. It is a much more difficult and revealing review of your finances that you have to provide to the public. Last year’s legislative session the Statute was amended to include City Commissioners like the City of Coral Springs City Commissioners. I can assure you that not one of them is very happy about that legislation and having to disclose all of this additional financial information on their Form 6 that they have to file. Before they only had

to file Form 1. As special district officers, you are still only required to file Form 1. Thankfully the legislators have not hurt special districts again like they seem to have been doing in the past. I have some links and a memo on the four hours of ethics training you will have to do. That will probably be distributed in your February agenda. There are some links you can go and get two hours of ethics training on one that is free. Then there are two hours on another one. They are both free. If the Board is going to fund these kinds of things that is something that you should vote on I think. There are free ones out there. I also talked with the City attorney’s office here in Coral Springs. They are going to let me know if they do any training sessions for their City Commissioners. We can get this Board invited, Coral Bay, Cypress Cove, and local Districts to get them. John Hearn the City attorney said he would let me know about that. The Broward League of Cities also does this training for some municipal officials, so we have our eye on that. We are watching to see if anything comes up. The problem is they don’t plan a year in advance. They will give you two weeks and say here it is. If stuff becomes available to us or GMS we will let you know. Otherwise, we would give you something to get started if you wanted to start it. I think that is really about it. Any other questions?
Mr. Winfree: The Form 1 is not due until July anyway, right?
Mr. Pawelczyk: July 1st it is due. They usually give you a grace period of September 1st. The good thing is I believe we will be able to go online and fill it out.
Mr. Winfree: The Form 6 is but I didn’t see Form 1.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It is not ready yet. I don’t know if it is going to be ready or not. Mr. Carney: Anything else Mike?
Mr. Pawelczyk: Nope.
Engineer – Engineer’s Report
Mr. Carney: Does anyone want to speak on the engineer’s behalf?
Mr. Burgess: I passed out the engineer’s report that Jonathan sent. Basically, the No U-Turn signpost is in permitting with the City. As of today, the retaining wall permit was submitted to the City. There were a lot of delays with their engineer for the drawings. He sent me the permit number and it is submitted as of today.
Mr. Carney: That is all for engineering? Mr. Burgess: Yes.

Field Manager – Annual Maintenance Plan
Mr. Szozda: A couple of real brief things. The fountain has been repaired at Lake Katie. There has been an outbreak of fungus along Turtle Run Boulevard. They treated it last week and again this week. That is the yellowing of the grass you see, which is common this time of year, but they have treated it. I did take a grinder to the roundabout fountain, and I managed to get rid of about 90% of the calcium deposits on that. I will follow up with a treatment for the effervescence and see if we can clean it up a little better.
Mr. Carney: Once you get rid of it, it shouldn’t come back.
Mr. Szozda: We have a new interior. The wire grinder worked well actually. Mr. Morgan: Thanks for doing that.
Mr. Winfree: In conjunction with the annual maintenance plan everything in December was completed I take it?
Mr. Szozda: Yes sir.
Mr. Winfree: That takes care of 2023, and we are all set for everything that is due. I sent you a new copy for 2024 of the plan. It is basically the same plan, but I took all the updates off of it. 2023 will be closed out and we will be using the 2024 plan now.
Mr. Szozda: I did talk to Ryan from Solitude today and he was taking lake samples just to make sure the water quality is up to standards. We should have those results probably within a couple of weeks.
Mr. Winfree: Ok so that is in process.
Mr. Szozda: As far as the decorations are concerned, I talked to Joe from CDI, which we are scheduled for Thursday.
Mr. Winfree: To start? Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Shipe: The Cypress Pointe sign was still lit up.
Mr. Szozda: It doesn’t look bad, those oak trees over there lit up, but they have the rest of their lights on too. I can go over there and have them disconnected.
Mr. Shipe: No, I was just curious.
Mr. Szozda: I disconnected everything on our side.
Mr. Carney: Everybody had the opportunity, I am sure you drove around a lot during the holidays to see if there are any changes for next year.	We referred to the

Carolina Club Lance at that time when we did our trees in the roundabout. If you look at the Carolina Club they do their entrance in a green and a red light. Our entrances during the day represent the holiday with the wreaths and the bows, but at night everything is white. We might want to consider moving forward to add a little green and red throughout our monument walls. It has a little more festive look during the evening instead of being all white. Our main entrance looks great during the day but at night everything is white. We might want to consider that.
Mr. Morgan: Good point.
Mr. Carney: The other thing I was looking at is the streetlights wrapped in the green with the bow at the top. We have 37 light poles on Turtle Run Boulevard. I would like to see what the cost of doing all those poles on the Boulevard would be. I think it would look good.
Ms. Karnegis: I think another thing I was talking to Pat, I went with him for a drive around Turtle Run and we were talking about the entrance that we have the lighted tree and Pat brought up if we would light up the additional trees it would look more complete which I do agree with that as something to think about for next year. Right now, the entrance with all the trees lit is beautiful but maybe we should complete it, so it doesn’t look like ok what happened did the lights go off?
Mr. Winfree: Are you talking about Sample Road and Turtle Run Boulevard? Ms. Karnegis: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: I had the same comment. Sample and where you come in. Mr. Carney: Doing a couple of the big trees.
Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: Going down further. Mr. Carney: I agree with that.
Mr. Morgan: The only thing about it is everything comes at a cost.
Mr. Winfree: The only other question that we got is a question in Hidden Lake is you remember the big boxes with bows on them and everything that used to be at the monuments, I don’t know if they still fit. Even Julie brought it up. She goes, what happened to the Christmas ornaments we used to have?
Mr. Szozda: That was before my time.

Mr. Winfree: I don’t know if when we changed the monuments they didn’t fit anymore or what? We had a couple of people ask about that.
Mr. Carney: I think it was just a change.
Mr. Shipe: What are we going to do with the property that belongs to the Foundation when we take it down? Are we storing that?
Mr. Carney: We are just going to take it and store it as we have for many years. Mr. Shipe: Ok.
Mr. Morgan: Skip, do you know I talked to Pat about this, did we modify the contract as to a specific date that the Nativity Set had to be removed?
Mr. Carney: I don’t recall.
Mr. Morgan: I thought we moved it down to like the 6th or 7th one week after the holiday or something like that. Pat said it was going to be out on the 11th. I can expect that. I do know that I wanted it added to the contract this year that we remove the Nativity Set in a timelier fashion. It has been on Sample Road since 8 days into January.
Mr. Carney: What is a good date for that?
Mr. Morgan: I thought we moved it to the 7th but that is just from recall. Mr. Carney: I will look at it later.
Mr. Morgan: I think it is a little disrespectful to leave the Nativity out for 11 days or not longer.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I believe all those items are out there.
Mr. Morgan: Yes all of them. The lights turn off so you can’t see them. Pat has already turned those off. Can we check that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I know there is a provision in the agreement as to when things are removed. I don’t remember a specific provision on the Nativity.
Mr. Carney: Are we saying January 6th is a good day? Mr. Morgan: I thought we said one week into January.
Mr. Winfree: The 6th is known as All Kings Day. That is when the kings come off and that is when everything comes down. The 6th is their last day, and they are supposedly gone by the 7th.
Mr. Carney: So we will say the 7th then I guess. Mr. Morgan: Yes.

Mr. Carney: Pat do you have anything else? Mr. Szozda: No sir.
Mr. Carney: The maintenance plan I was talking to Barry about the maintenance plan. Try to get it to the Board a little sooner than Monday morning. Is there a possibility of that so they have an opportunity to review it before the meeting?
Mr. Winfree: If I get the previous meeting minutes not on Wednesday like this time I am not going to have it done. I had it done late Friday but that was too late to get it out to everybody. I need a couple of days to pull everything out of the meeting minutes to put into the plan before I can send it out. If that is ready Friday, not the Friday before the meeting but the Friday before that is when the meeting notice is supposed to go out with the meeting minutes. We had some issues this time with the revisions and the holidays, and it got pushed off to be very late.
Mr. Carney: How is the maintenance program working for you? Mr. Szozda: Good. It is definitely a plus.
Mr. Carney: It needs to be looked at.
Mr. Szozda: We sat down last year, and we updated a few things. Anytime we can update this is good.
Mr. Winfree: If anything comes up just let me know and we can switch it around or add or delete or whatever you want to do. You are the one working on it. You are the one that can give us the feedback.
Mr. Carney: Good.
Mr. Padilla: One thing I can do is forward the marked agenda to you so you will be able to see what was approved as far as motions.
Mr. Winfree: That is mostly what I need is motions and action items. I have to go through all the meeting minutes to figure all that out to put it into the plan. The earlier you can get that to me the earlier I can get it out to everybody.
Mr. Padilla: Very well.
Mr. Carney: Good, thank you. Anything else? Mr. Szozda: No, sir.
Manager – Progress Report
Mr. Carney: Julio, manager's progress report.

Mr. Winfree: Throw that up on the screen.
Mr. Burgess: I did a few updates on it just to make it clearer. Geo-tubes, we have a company Landshore Enterprise that is doing a geo-tube project in another community. They took a look at the repair spot. It is pretty minimal. They will give us pricing on that repair.
Mr. Carney: They are still doing geo-tubes? Mr. Burgess: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: So I can put it in process. Mr. Burgess: I can send you my updates.
Mr. Winfree: That would be fine. Did I hear you say something about the U-turns that the permitting has passed?
Mr. Burgess: It is still in permitting.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. The light pole replacement?
Mr. Burgess: I am just waiting for the pole to be delivered.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. Was the motion to dismiss ever go through on that? Any updates

at all?

Mr. Padilla: I am going to be able to update the Board tomorrow.
Mr. Winfree: Ok so I will just leave it as is. It is still in a motion to dismiss, and we

will go from there.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t think a hearing has been set. Mr. Winfree: That is what I am guessing.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I haven’t heard anything.
Mr. Winfree: I am assuming the agreement with First United Methodist Church is complete since we are here. Cover pages, we are still waiting for pictures after the decorations are down. Nothing there. The other thing that was open since May is the amendment to the Centurian agreement. The agreement was signed but not filed. Has that been filed yet or is it still open?
Mr. Padilla: I haven’t heard back.
Mr. Winfree: Ok so that stays the same. Coconut Creek police detail is still in process?

Mr. Padilla: Yes, we are pursuing it. We will continue to follow up with them for future plans. We are probably going to need one for Coral Springs.
Mr. Carney: Can we step back a moment on the Centurian thing?
Mr. Szozda: I have reached out to them. Julio has reached out to them. He tends to do quite a bit of traveling. We have probably three or four times over the last couple of months tried to contact him.
Mr. Carney: But you are on it? Mr. Szozda: Yes absolutely.
Mr. Winfree: No intervention needed at this time? Mr. Szozda: No. We will give him another reminder.
Mr. Winfree: GFX, the last we talked that was going into the permitting process.
Has that started?
Mr. Burgess: Yes as of today it has.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. The silhouettes we were going to look at after all the Christmas stuff comes down?
Mr. Szozda: Yes, they are still attached to the wall so if you guys don’t mind the ones on Tortoise we are not going to go overkill on the Tortoises but there is one on each side of the monument. All we are going to do is attach and probably illuminate it. If you think that is a positive your feedback would be useful.
Mr. Carney: You are working on the uplighting for all the walls? Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: Hidden Lake with BrightView, that is open. We are going to see what we can do about the ongoing contract. Current insurance like I said last time I have a copy of it, I just haven’t gotten into the details of it. Did you ever get a count on the lights?
Mr. Szozda: No I did not get a count on the lights. Mr. Winfree: If you could get that for me.
Mr. Szozda: Do we have a count on the lights? Mr. Burgess: What lights?
Mr. Winfree: The insurance contract is broken down by individual roads and how many lights and everything.
Mr. Szozda: We will get a hard count.

Mr. Winfree: The other item is working with the Foundation as far as the holiday décor. Are you taking that to your Board, Chris? What we are going to do for next year?
Mr. Kapish: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: So, there is no update on that.
Mr. Kapish: We are going to form a separate contract so they can store it and we will pay the fee.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. Park updates, we are still waiting to hear back on where that is. Tennis courts you were supposed to meet sometime in the future. We are going to need more information about what we are going to do for that. We are still waiting for the Coral Bay Memorial conversion for Dennis’s memorial from us. Anything else that we should be tracking, talking about, or anything?
Mr. Burgess: I think the Board should try to look into their own memorial for Dennis since Coral Bay’s is stalling for lack of a better word.
Mr. Winfree: Is it done? Mr. Burgess: No.
Mr. Winfree: They are just not moving very quickly.
Mr. Burgess: Yes. I just think maybe some ideas from the Board would probably move a little bit quicker.
Mr. Carney: Sounds good. We need to do something soon. What else Barry? Mr. Winfree: That is it for everything that is on here.
Mr. Carney: Thank you.
Mr. Winfree: I went through all the motions that we did last year. For motions and I am not sure which motions are actually also budgeted items. I didn’t differentiate that but just in motions that we approved over the last year totaled $529,316. I don’t know if anybody ever tracks that or looks at that but that is what we did from a motion standpoint last year. How much of that was budgeted or not budgeted I don’t know.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It all has to be budgeted.
Mr. Winfree: Some of the motions were outside of the budget I can tell you that, but I am sure there is some way they could go into budget. Just a side note, that is how much we approved in motions last year. That is it for the progress report.
Mr. Carney: Ok. Thank you. Julio do you have anything else?

Mr. Padilla: Nothing else to report.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS   Financial Reports
Financial Report on Capital Projects, Emergency Funds, Capital Reserve and All Other Financial Issues
Approval of Check Register
Acceptance of Unaudited Financials
Mr. Carney: Financial reports. I sent you around what Jennifer sent me this afternoon. It pretty much tells you everything that is going on. Capital reserves is at
$484,000. It will tell you in the opening statement from her exactly why it went down and where the money went to. Then it will go onto our outstanding capital items of $52,000 and also the monument cost breakdown is still at $25,000 per wall. That is pretty much the financial report.
Mr. Winfree: The one item that I saw in here under A, it started talking about emergency funds and everything and I didn’t hear you mention it. Also capital reserve and other financial issues are part of Item 11 that is what you were just talking about financial reports right?
Mr. Carney: Right. I want to go over first what the undesignated cash line is in the budget. That is pretty much and in talking to Jennifer that money went in there probably over the last six years. What is the carryover from previous years and it kind of builds up over a period of time. This year we actually spent about $40,000 more than we budgeted. So what is going to happen is that $40,000 comes out of the undesignated cash line just like it goes in there when you have extra. That designated cash line now is probably, I think she gave me a number of $600,000 and change in that designated cash line now. That is what that account is for. Carryover goes in there. When you overspend one year it comes out of there. That is what that account is for. With all that said I think we need to start looking at capital improvement projects. The Board can start putting their heads together and then just over to Julio your ideas. Julio can put together the capital improvement project list. Bring it to a meeting and we can prioritize what we want to do for 2024. I think that is the way it needs to work. Does that make sense Julio?
Mr. Padilla: Yes.
Mr. Carney: Mike, is that the procedure? Mr. Pawelczyk: Yes.

Mr. Carney: I will just tell you what my number one project would be irrigation. Irrigation is going to be a big ticket. We spent $50,000 over the last two years in fixing broken lines. Maybe that $50,000 could have gone into the overall plan. I think that is going to be I am guessing, I am not a professional I am guessing that project is going to run around $300,000. That is going to be a big nut. Now the money is available to do something like that. You go five, six, or seven years down the road we may not have that money available to do that. This is the time to look at it. Take a serious look at it. That will be something I will be sending to you Julio. We can start getting quotes and possibilities on that. That would be part of the capital improvement project list not just one item.
Mr. Winfree: To take that one step further one of the items you have here is capital reserves. I think that is something we should look at once we have our list. Having a capital reserve study done on what we need to do because right now we have the money and at $300,000 what about ten years from now when it needs to be replaced again, are we going to have $300,000 or do we start setting up reserve funds for stuff that we know we are going to have to do in a long term plan. It is one of the things they have done with condos now. It is mandatory. They are trying to do it with HOA’s now also. I think it might be a good idea for us to start thinking about some reserve studies and some reserve funds so we can guarantee we have the funds going down the road.
Mr. Carney: Pretty much Jennifer sent me the same thing. She said a reserve study as a budget planning tool to help determine the needs of the CDD to help predict the estimated remaining useful lives of the District’s capital assets and estimated replacement costs to help prioritize future capital improvement projects. That was her recommendation.
Mr. Winfree: Some of that money might have to go into what we need in three years from now or five years from now. We have to start funding them, so we have the money at that time.
Mr. Carney: We don’t just look at today or tomorrow or how much we have today, let’s look at how much we need to spend over the next five to ten years.
Mr. Pawelczyk: When do you want to do that? I am asking because you need to direct management to bring back proposals for that reserve study. I know GMS has

worked with one or more of those types of consultants to do that work. Otherwise, you are just going to talk about it.
Mr. Carney: Who does that?
Mr. Winfree: There are multiple companies out there that does it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: GMS has worked with companies that do that. I know Luis Hernandez has done it through your office.
Mr. Carney: Can the Board give Julio direction to move forward on that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: He needs to bring proposals back to see what it is going to cost to do a reserve study.
Mr. Carney: You got it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Coordinate it with Jennifer I guess.
Mr. Winfree: It is kind of a two-step process. What do we think and then having the reserve study and putting them together, so we have one plan going forward.
Mr. Carney: Ok, good.
Mr. Winfree: Do we need a motion for that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: No just direction because he has to bring back a proposal for you. Mr. Carney: We need approval of the check register.

On MOTION by Mr. Winfree seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, the Check Register was approved.

Mr. Carney: Then we have the acceptance of the unaudited financials. What do we need to do with that?
Mr. Padilla: It just means it hasn’t been audited yet.
Mr. Winfree: The closure of 2023 is that what we are talking about here? Mr. Pawelczyk: This is for the last two months or something like that.
Mr. Padilla: From November 30.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It really doesn’t tell you much information because it is only a month. It is on every agenda. It is a report for you, so you know what the District is spending.

Mr. Carney: Ok. This question is for Mike. I spoke briefly with Matthew Farino our legal counsel. He gave me a little bit of information and I asked him if that is something I can share with the Board, he said yes. It is a Reader’s Digest version of what is happening. Can I do that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: If you want to, sure. As long as you talked to him about it.
Mr. Carney: He said this was ok to share this. I asked him if things were happening he said yes. I said what is going on and he said right now they are in the pleading stage right now. Pleading stage means that they are going to file a motion to dismiss, and it is basically I guess you would call delay tactics. He will amend the complaint and then they will have to respond to the amended complaint. That is where we are. Each amendment if about 50 pages. Then they would have one week to respond to the amended complaint. Hopefully, eventually we run out of reasons to dismiss or delay and move forward. That is where we are right now just to give everybody a quick Reader’s Digest version of what is going on. Things are moving slow, but it is moving.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It is not moving any slower than any other litigation for the record.
After the motion to dismiss is disposed of typically you will start discovery.
Mr. Winfree: Then it starts. Mr. Carney: Ok.

TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS    Supervisors Request
Mr. Carney: Supervisor requests. Lance?
Mr. Morgan: I have a few things. Patrick, would you pull up the bus stop in front of Walmart? About six months ago or a year ago the bus stop in front of Walmart was broken down, dilapidated. It was in total disrepair. There were holes in the roof, and it was totally destroyed. I directed Patrick and he contacted the County and the City and worked his magic and about six months to a year later we have a brand new bus stop in front of Walmart with a brand-new trash can. It took a while. I kept nudging to get onto it and he kept nudging those guys and finally, we got a new bus stop in front of Walmart. Mr. Carney: Patrick did a lot of nudging. Patrick said he put the plan into the
County and the City did it.

Mr. Morgan: The main thing is it looks a million times better than it was. That is a good thing. I think Zaida we had some checks, our last checks for the meeting were stop payment on them. Did you figure out what happened there?
Mr. Burgess: No. There is no explanation. Jennifer reached out to multiple Bank of America representatives, and they didn’t have an answer.
Mr. Morgan: Did anyone else here get their last CDD check stopped? Mr. Carney: I haven’t cashed mine yet.
Mr. Morgan: Zaida did you?
Ms. Karnegis: I sent an email about it because mine was returned and they would not cash it. It was denied.
Mr. Morgan: Same with mine. We don’t know why that happened, but they need to have the accountant reissue those checks.
Mr. Burgess: Yes. I emailed her to do that. She is reissuing the checks.
Mr. Morgan: I just wanted to find out if that happened with all the Board members or just myself and Zaida.
Mr. Burgess: She didn’t have an answer. She looked into everything. Mr. Carney: Should I cash mine or not?
Mr. Burgess: It wasn’t the balance, there is plenty of money.
Mr. Morgan: Just a stop payment was on mine. Pat, you and I are going to do a drive-through either Wednesday or Thursday have you been in contact with Will this week?
Mr. Szozda: Yes, I just talked to him today.
Mr. Morgan: Ok. The last drive-by I did with Will was before the New Year after Christmas and I showed him the maple stump. Approximately when did they cut that tree down?
Mr. Szozda: Probably two months ago.
Mr. Morgan: And they still have a stump there?
Mr. Szozda: Yes. He was going to remove the stump when he was taking the overgrowth of the philodendron up from the tree.

Mr. Morgan: Over there across from PetSmart there is a Cypress tree that philodendron is overgrown and is going to kill the Cypress tree. He is going to do both at the same time?
Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: Did he give you a time frame on that?
Mr. Szozda: It was supposed to be last Friday and apparently that didn’t happen. Mr. Morgan: Alright so maybe this week.
Mr. Szozda: I will follow up.
Mr. Morgan: Pat, do we know what is going on with the tennis courts? I see these guys out there.
Mr. Szozda: Yes they were out there pressure cleaning. I have no idea who is involved in that whatsoever. I have heard no rumors.
Mr. Morgan: The other thing I wanted to mention is it was probably about fifteen years ago we restocked the lakes with fish. I don’t even know how they go about that. Can you talk to our aquatic people and see if they have any ideas?
Mr. Szozda: Solitude usually handles that. They did it for us in Jacksonville numerous times.
Mr. Morgan: Can you find out how we would do about that? Do they do a test to see if we need fish in the lakes?
Mr. Szozda: I am not certain how they go about it, but they are definitely involved in restocking.
Mr. Morgan: You need those carp that eat the grass. There are a lot of fish that do a lot of stuff for us. If you can get some information as to first if we need it. Is there something they can do, a test or however they would determine if the lakes needed to be restocked.
Mr. Pawelczyk: They usually do some analysis of some sort. Remember your bass, brim, and catfish are separate from the carp. The carp is a special permit. Usually they would recommend going with the carp if you haven’t done the carp in a long time.
Mr. Morgan: It has been about fifteen years I think. See what you can find out how we would proceed with that and get back with us next meeting on that. At least tell us how we would go about that.

Mr. Szozda: No worries.
Mr. Morgan: That is all I have Skip. Mr. Carney: Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Just one thing on social media there was stuff going around about trucks being parked behind Burlington in the parking lot. It is my understanding we don’t have any oversee of the commercial properties that I know of, but I did call the Coral Springs Police Department. If you talk to any of your neighbors and they see trucks and they want them out of there, they will come out each night after nine and write a $35 ticket. The officer that I spoke with said they write the ticket, but it is cheaper for them to just pay the ticket and then move it. I know it is not our prevue, but the property owners are the ones that have to tell them. I didn’t know if anybody had seen that. That was the information that I was able to receive.
Mr. Carney: The question I would have is, does Burlington Coat Factory approve those trucks being back there? Because there is a way of gating that off. All you have to do is put a gate up keeping them from coming in.
Mr. Morgan: What I know from the private security firm is that Mark Corlew’s corporation owns that shopping center. The trucks are generally parked behind Burlington which is owned by Burlington. Our security guard has talked to the Burlington manager and so on and so forth a hundred times for Steve and for Harbor Island to really no avail as to moving the trucks. These are independent guys who either live close by or live in an apartment complex. A lot of times they have four or five cars on the car lift. It is really an eyesore for the community. The only difference is that is private property. You are right they would have to tow the vehicles. Once you post you can tow the vehicles, you could contract with a tow company. I think the Foundation is in the process of trying to contract with a tow company that would not necessarily tow their vehicles but come out and boot their vehicles which is the same result. Every time they park there, and they have to pay $300 to get the boot off their thing it is just like a tow. I know they are working on that. It is private property. Now Coral Springs the city ordinance does state that no commercial vehicles parked overnight, boats, trailers, this type of thing you can give somebody a ticket for that. I imagine they could do that if somebody calls at that time.
Mr. Shipe: She said they would come out. $35 is the citation.

Mr. Carney: We as the CDD have no jurisdiction.
Mr. Morgan: The Foundation might have some jurisdiction there but still they have no way to tow the vehicles themselves off of private property.
Mr. Carney: It is not Mark Corlew’s property. It is Burlington Coat Factory’s property.
Mr. Winfree: Hidden Lake was told that if we wanted to tow someone or have someone taken off of a “quote” private property it had to be one of the Board members that actually met them and approved that to be removed.
Mr. Morgan: And it has to be posted. Your community is posted.
Mr. Winfree: It is but they are saying it isn’t just a matter of somebody calling and saying come and get it. They actually have to have a Board member there for the pickup is what they told us.
Mr. Morgan: Actually once it is posted you contract with a tow company yourself and the tow truck company, I know a couple of my friends that live in an apartment complex these tow truck companies come there and they look because they are going to get a payday out of towing a few cars and a fine as long as it is posted. The tow company that you are working with may want what you said.
Mr. Winfree: That is what they told us. That someone from the Board had to be there for them to be towed.
Mr. Morgan: We are working on it.
Mr. Carney: Anything else Rob? Barry?
Mr. Winfree: No but since you were talking about the lakes I hate to open a Pandora’s box but what are the rules as far as fishing? Sometimes I see them chasing them out and other times they just drive by. What is it supposedly? I was going down Turtle Run Boulevard and a guy just pulled over on Turtle Run Boulevard, left his car out there, and was fishing in the lake. That was a bit much.
Mr. Szozda: I don’t allow them to park across from Walmart and that. I make a point to make sure; I go don’t leave anything around. I don’t know how the Board feels about fishing out there. I just make sure they just clean up anything.
Mr. Shipe: The lakes are CDD property. I have been reading through the documents of the Turtle Run Foundation that the property was ceded over to the CDD. It

is not part of the Water Management District, the Community Development District is the one?

rights. curb. stuff.

Mr. Pawelczyk: The CDD owns all the lakes.
Mr. Shipe: So the Foundation doesn’t have any oversight of the lakes.
Mr. Pawelczyk: They don’t have any maintenance responsibility or ownership Mr. Winfree: The only thing I didn’t like is he didn’t even pull over all the way to the Mr. Szozda: I don’t go for that either but if they are respectful and pick up their
Mr. Winfree: I don’t care about the fishing personally. I just don’t want you blocking

Turtle Run Boulevard.
Mr. Morgan: Here is the thing. I have sent Pat all the pictures I take of Turtle Run. I know he hates me for it but one day we had two people decide to pull up at Lake Haley which is the roundabout between all the Sylvester palms and park their cars right out by the benches. Of course, I called the police. We used to have no trespassing signs in Turtle Run on CDD property. We would have people argue saying it doesn’t say no fishing. People from not our community. I told them about Freud’s hierarchy of needs you have to basically trespass before you fish and they looked at me like I am the guy who has no information. We kind of established at the main areas which would be where the benches are and stuff because what was happening was people would come out on weekends with their McDonald’s bags, their lawn chairs, their five-gallon white buckets, and when they would leave they would leave the fish that they didn’t want dead on the bank. They would leave their McDonald’s bags and they would leave their five-gallon buckets and any other debris that they wanted to. It is just the American way. We kind of established a policy at least the Foundation did from my understanding of no fishing in those main areas. If somebody is behind somebody's house fishing nobody is going to bother them there. On Lake Haley, Lake Katie, Lake Rachel at those main areas where there are benches, we had one little girl that got a bunch of hooks in her feet from somebody who left a ball of hooks and twine there. Can we tell them to leave as the CDD? We own that property we can tell them no trespassing. We took the no trespassing signs down that we

put up when Dennis Baldis was here because they got old and dilapidated and they looked terrible, so we took them all down. That was probably four or five years ago.
Mr. Winfree: I saw the same thing. I went by and I saw a guy fishing. I came back and he was gone and there is the bucket sitting there. I came back again, and the bucket was still sitting there so I stopped, went over, and the bucket was sitting there with about five dead fish in the bottom of it and nobody was around.
Mr. Morgan: I took a picture of one that had about 30 dead fish in the bucket. What a shame. It is just to keep our neighborhood at that level of a little bit higher than other areas. People just pull their cars wherever they want to. They pull in and park and just get out and drop a line in the water.
Mr. Winfree: To not even pull all the way over to the curb and just get out and go. Mr. Morgan: We used to have Coral Springs police Monday through Friday from
3:00 in the afternoon to 7:00 in the evening they knew to kick out any fisherman. That was our direction for the detail. Now all we have is Ally on the weekends and this guy Chris does a pretty good job kicking out most of the fishermen.
Mr. Carney: He keeps them out of the main entrances. My kids fished those lakes for years and it was just catch and release and move on. They just did it for fun. Anything else Barry? Zaida?
Ms. Karnegis: Nothing here sir.
Mr. Carney: Thank you. A motion to adjourn.
