SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Presentation by William Braxton
- New Account Manager for BrightView Landscaping
Mr. Braxton: Thank you guys for having me. I have a couple of cards that I will just leave here for anyone with my email, phone number and everything is on there. Just wanted to come in and introduce myself. I have been with the company since 2019. I

cover the territory down here in Broward County. I am going to be taking over Turtle Run. I have some accounts in Heron Bay so pretty much my day to day, touching in on the property every day or at least almost every day. I have two associate account managers underneath me as well so when our crews are onsite, Gianni and Richard are two of my counterparts. When we are out doing work you will see two other gentlemen out there. The younger gentleman that is tall and thin built is Gianni and Richard is kind of my height and he has been with us for a long time as well. I am happy to be with you guys. I have spent a lot of time with Pat and Patrick to get familiar with the property. When Art had it I would check on it periodically because it wasn't my territory. I would look at things with Art and I talked to Lance about it too. I look forward to working with everyone and keeping the property where it needs to be then raising the standards and it keep as a focal property in Coral Springs.
Mr. Carney: Has Gianni or Richard been here or is that somebody that you brought
in?
Mr. Braxton: Gianni has actually been here. Some of the previous managers know
Gianni. He actually started with our company as an entry level employee while he was going to Kansas State to get his degree. He has really worked his way up to where he is right now. He basically started at the bottom, worked with the crews to get familiar with things and now he is training to be an account manager.
Mr. Carney: Patrick and Pat, do you know both of those gentlemen that he is talking about?
Mr. Burgess: I do know Gianni.
Mr. Braxton: He has been on the property a long time.
Mr. Morgan: I know Gianni also. I met him previously with Art. Will and I and Pat did a brief drive-by the other day. We talked about our expectations of Will and that type of thing. I have a couple questions in reference to Turtle Run when we are done with the presentation.
Mr. Carney: How many accounts do you currently have?
Mr. Braxton: Right now I have 27 accounts. Everything is in this local area. I pretty much have Western Broward and Parkland. I also have two other guys that are helping me and like I said, I have been in communication since day one since I took over for Art.

We did an introduction on-site and introduced Patrick and Pat. We have been communicating very well. That is one thing about me, we are all sending text messages, see things, address it, text somebody and let them know. For me communicating is the best thing to do, keep you guys informed and let you know what is going on.
Mr. Carney: That is what we are looking for. Does anybody have any other questions?
Mr. Morgan: I have a couple. Art was always here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You are saying that you have days that you come out or are you going to be out here weekly?
Mr. Braxton: I have been out here pretty much daily. Since I took over, I have been on the property pretty much every single day. I am in Parkland every day so heading back to my office I have to go down Wiles so I am literally hitting the property. Pretty much Monday through Thursday I am on site every day, checking on Santos, looking at things, and seeing what he needs but I am getting boots on the ground and looking at things pretty much every day during the week.
Mr. Carney: So you do know Santo's role in the District? Mr. Braxton: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: He spoke the other day to you and I about the turf. It looks terrible everywhere. I told you the importance of staying in touch with Tropical and the owner over there to come together to work on that. Why is the turf looking so bad in Turtle Run everywhere?
Mr. Braxton: I think I remember we had a spell where Hoover, one of the pumps went down for a little bit. Hoover had shut the pump down. None of us were aware that Hoover was shutting the pump down.
Mr. Morgan: What section was that?
Mr. Braxton: That was over towards Terrapin - pump 2 on the east side. Going down Turtle Creek, Terrapin the whole east side of the property we were having an issue with the pump. Dwight has literally been onsite, our irrigation tech.
Mr. Carney: I saw Dwight, he said Hoover shut things down. Why did they shut things down?

Mr. Braxton: When Hoover sees flow rates, so basically when a flow alarm goes off basically there is something that is sticking on throughout the property. Basically Hoover will allow that to happen three times. Once the pump keeps running they don't want your pump to keep running at a high RPM, so it automatically shuts the pump down. That is when it sends us emails letting us know there was a high flow rate, and we will come out and look at the system and see what is going on.
Mr. Carney: But apparently, we weren't informed, were we? That is what I heard.
Mr. Braxton: Nobody was informed, none of us were. I am actually set up now where I am actually on the list with Hoover. I have a full-blown account so I can view everything and look at everything. A lot of my other properties have the same system, so I am familiar with the technology.
Mr. Carney: So you will know it is shut down and you can react to that and not wait till things start deteriorating.
Mr. Braxton: Once I see it shut down, we come out and look at it. Why is that shutting down and what is going on? It seems to be only pump #2. Everything else has been running fine. Now we are getting ahead of it and getting these valves taken care of and getting these breaks taken care of. Back to your question about the condition of the property there are certain areas where I am going to introduce myself to the pest and fertilization company that way we are a unified front and we kind of know what is going on. We can use each other as references and kind of see what is going on but we do have some areas that have fungus so we need to dial back some of those areas. I think the only way to do it effectively is Dwight is going to have to come in, cap off some of the irrigation, really tighten them down and let those areas dry out 100%. That way we can come in and treat any type of brown patch or fungus. We don't want to have other areas be a casualty because we shut a valve or shut down a zone. We need to be specific as going to those heads, locking them down for the time being and letting the area dry out, treat the fungus and then re-evaluate.
Mr. Morgan: Good idea. Have you been in touch with Rusty yet?
Mr. Braxton: Not yet.
Mr. Morgan: We talked about that the other day. It is real important that you two have a united front to deal with the turf issues out there.

Mr. Braxton: It can get away from you real quick. It is something you have to be very proactive on.
Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Carney: Thank you very much for coming. Mr. Braxton: Thank you all.
Mr. Morgan: We appreciate it.
Mr. Braxton: Take care guys, thank you.

Mr. Carney: I know the Board hasn't discussed how we are going to proceed with the interviews, so I want to give you my suggestion. My suggestion is if you are ok with it we will proceed. Each candidate will tell the Board about themselves and why they would be a Board member. Before moving onto the next candidate each Board member will ask each candidate two or three questions and we will move onto the next candidate. Are we ok with that? We hadn't discussed this as a Board, I just wanted to make sure we were all ok with the process.
Mr. Morgan: Each Board member is going to ask two or three questions? Mr. Pawelczyk: They don't have to if they don't want to.
Mr. Carney: That is fine. Are we ok with the process? Mr. Shipe: I am.
Mr. Morgan: No problems with it.
Mr. Carney: The candidates will be called alphabetically. Please start with your name and where you live. Jamie Baker was the first. He is not here at the present time.

Martin Ford would have been second. He is not here at the present time. Chris Kapish alphabetically would be next. Chris, you are up.
Mr. Kapish: What is that?
Mr. Carney: Do you want to let us know why you would like to be on the Board? Mr. Kapish: Because I have lived in Turtle Run for 30 years and I love Turtle Run.
I have done a lot of things for Turtle Run like good things and I think I can continue to do that, continue to do better things and improve Turtle Run.
Mr. Carney: Ok. Zaida, do you have any questions for Chris?
Ms. Zaida: I have a question. In the vision, can you tell us what is your vision of the future of Turtle Run to include future monetary budgets that homeowners will incur?
Mr. Kapish: What do I think the future of the budget is going to be?
Ms. Zaida: What is your view of the vision, what do you see as the vision of Turtle Run to include the future of the monetary budget that homeowners will incur, in other words for us we are looking at the budget right, we are looking to see what we have. What do you see for the future of Turtle Run, not only the vision but a future monetary like we are always talking about the expenses that we have? Do you want to continue with expenses as we have it now? Do you think there is going to be changes? Is there any difference that you would like to see with budgets for Turtle Run?
Mr. Kapish: I think budgets differ from year to year and it depends on what is going on at the time. It depends on what the economy is doing. It depends on what the needs are of the community. There is no black and white answer to that. It is pretty much a grey area to answer. I would say that the person that does that would have to manage it, which I think I have done in the past quite well. We haven't raised taxes in a long time, only three times over the 25-year period.
Mr. Carney: Anything else Zaida? Ms. Karnegis: Nope.
Mr. Morgan: Chris, I know you were on the Board for a lot of years. Can you highlight your biggest accomplishments that you have had in Turtle Run? What did you lead on and the outcome of those accomplishments and what were they?
Mr. Kapish: I would say that there is a lot of accomplishments that Turtle Run has incurred. If you look over here on this bookshelf, all those awards were given by the City

to different organizations. The plant award which is for landscaping alone, that is one of the things that Turtle Run is known for is its landscaping. In working with BrightView and working all the way back to the original landscapers and original developers when I was on the Board, there was two original developers from Lennar still on the Board. I saw their original plans for the community and what it was and that included coach lights in the median. I would think that was a big accomplishment to improve the area. We listened to residents and what they said was that it was very dark and now it is lit up and it is first class. It has nicer coach lamps then in other expensive communities. Our community has gone up greatly in value. The average house now is going for around $800,000 in some parts of Turtle Run. I think that is a combination of what the community looks like. Not just the community but the individual streets and what they look like. Working with the City I had a lot of connections with.
Mr. Carney: Anything else Lance?
Mr. Morgan: Chris, you didn't mention the roundabout, can you tell us how that came about? That is probably our biggest accomplishment besides the streetlights.
Mr. Kapish: You are correct. Like I said, I could mention a lot of things here. That was one of them. If you go down the list I don't want to bore anybody but the list of the streets being turned down to slow traffic down, having approved the areas where we have passive parks, the areas where we have the park, and working with the school and the Parks Division in trying to form a partnership. The infrastructure of Turtle Run is a big thing. The infrastructure of it is now 35 years old and it is very important if you want to keep up the community you have to start with the infrastructure of the community. Yes, the roundabout was a great thing. Removing landscaping and seeing a lake views, having jogging paths, and having more pedestrian-friendly communities with people walking their dogs and people bike riding and walking in general on a nightly basis makes it a pedestrian-friendly community. Putting in bike lanes and that type of thing makes it pedestrian friendly and any time you have amenities in a community, stores, and shopping that are close by, I do have a nature park preserve that I worked with Broward County and worked with County Commissioners on and also when you have the Turnpike and you have access to major roads so that people can go to work, maybe go to Miami or other cities but they can always relax at home in Turtle Run.

Mr. Morgan: That is all I have to say. Mr. Carney: Thank you, Chris.
Mr. Shipe: Chris, how do you feel about the District? It seems like we are getting more involved with paying for the individual HOA's Christmas lights and landscaping. Do you feel'that the COD should be more involved with the individual HOA's, or should we maintain the money for the outside and let the HOA's take care of their own property?
Mr. Kapish: The COD has a purpose. The main purpose of the COD is really basically the drainage of the canals and that is the main purpose of maintaining canal banks. It is a Community Development District which means it is supposed to develop and blossom into a beautiful community. Now the HOA's, their property, you have 60% of the taxpayers, where the funds come for the community comes from the businesses and the apartment complexes. I am not so sure why we should be spending taxpayers' money on individual people's property. The HOA's need to manage it themselves and need to take hold of it themselves. That is what they are there for. The COD is not here to supplement everybody. The COD should be spending this money on COD projects.
Mr. Shipe: If you were reappointed to the Board, do you think it would be a problem working with the existing Board members after some of the ways the election went down? Do you think we would be able to work as a Board together without animosity?
Mr. Kapish: I don't have any animosity towards anybody. Life is what it is. There is nothing personal about it to me at all. To me, I love Turtle Run, that is all it comes down to. It has nothing to do with any of that personal stuff.
Mr. Shipe: Ok thank you.
Mr. Carney: I have one question. What would you do differently the next time around? How would you see a COD moving forward?
Mr. Kapish: Well the COD needs to work in a cohesive manner. I remember before the COD you really have to have Turtle Run Day and be together and bring in the community and the neighborhood and the people that live in Turtle Run together and stuff like that. The COD introduced that. They did certain things in the park and stuff like that. I think community partnerships and I think that working with the City and our County Commissioners trying to get things done is something that needs to be worked on. For example, you are paying for electricity, you don't need to pay the electric and reduce the

COD taxes. I had conversations with the City Manager about that but since I left I have not been able to pursue that. That is not my prerogative. I would be working on stuff like that that would help reduce the COD expenses and actually put the expenses where they should be with the City. That would be one project along with other projects that would be done.
Mr. Carney: Ok thank you. The next candidate is Parker Maiman.
Mr. Maiman: Good evening. My name is Parker Maiman. I applied for the open seat for the COD. I am personally a law student so I am in law school right now, but I really have a passion for property,. Mr. Maiman was inaudible at this time,specifically for Associations. I am resident in Cypress Pointe so I will be able to represent our voting interest. I know we have a lot of people in our community that haven't really gotten much representation on Boards such as the COD and other places, so I am here to help try and change that and to bring more input from our community. I am also a member of the Turtle Run Foundation, so I do have some experience and some knowledge of how a Board does work. I have served on the Board of Directors at Cypress Pointe as well so I have some experience there with preparing our annual budget and helping out with that and going over some of our notes and so forth. Overall I am basically here because I have a passion for this that I uncovered over the last year I would say and I would love for this Board to appoint me and be able to represent Cypress Pointe here because I feel that we need some representation.
Ms. Karnegis: I think you answered my question. It was going to be what experience do you have and what would be your value to the Board.
Mr. Maiman: Yes, my experience on the Board at Cypress Pointe also with the Turtle Run Foundation and as a law student I could provide valuable insight to this Board as well.
Mr. Morgan: Parker, how long have you been the President of the HOA at Cypress Pointe?
Mr. Maiman: I am not the President at Cypress Pointe. Mr. Morgan: Oh, just a Board member.
Mr. Maiman: I am not there anymore but I was there from March until November.

Mr. Morgan: And you are currently the representative from Cypress Pointe on the Foundation Board?
Mr. Maiman: Correct.
Mr. Morgan: How long have you been there?
Mr. Maiman: I have been there for maybe about four or five months. I got into that after my time with Cypress Pointe as a Board member.
Mr. Morgan: Cypress Pointe is really good this year as far as the Christmas lights are concerned. Did you lead that project or whatever projects have you led in your time being on the HOA at Cypress Pointe?
Mr. Maiman: The biggest project I actually, Leo over here from Best Roofing. We needed to replace all of our roofs in our community. We had 33 buildings that needed new roofs, three of them just got new roofs. I spearheaded that project with a friend Ginny here who is our President to basically help get us new roofs and also we had to secure financing on that program because we didn't have money in our reserves to cover that. We had to go out and get a line of credit and basically make sure that was an appropriate interest for our community so that made it a little quicker for us to secure that funding. The roofing is on track to start in March. That is one of the biggest things that I take away from my time there and something that I was really influential on. I am very excited to see it happen.
Mr. Morgan: Ok that is all I have.
Mr. Shipe: Do you have any thoughts on if we should try to keep the COD structured as it is or try to see if we can change the voting structure of the COD so that the landowners or property owners are the only people who have a vote? The apartments account for almost half of the representation votes and really the property owners of the apartments pay. Do you have any thoughts on whether we should try? I don't even know if it is possible or not but your thoughts on whether we should keep the COD as it is or try to make some changes to the representation?
Mr. Maiman: Well, if possible I think I would be in favor of allowing specifically property owners to vote. Specifically, our community has 338 units I think, but we do have a lot of tenants. Over half of our owners rent out their properties so I do think that allowing

property owners to vote would be a good change if it were allowed just because the property owners are the ones who end up paying those property taxes.
Mr. Carney: What role do you think you could play being on the Board?
Mr. Maiman: I think the biggest role that I could play is giving some representation to Cypress Pointe. We have a lot of owners in our community and also we do have a lot of renters. Our community uses a lot of the amenities that the COD provides to us just like everyone else does. I am not really looking to come in here and cause a stir and change things right away. I think you guys have a really good thing going on. You have a premier community in South Florida so just to kind of keep that going to make sure that maintenance is up to par, not necessarily to raise taxes or anything like that but just to make sure that money is being spent appropriately and to make sure that we are maintaining and elevating what we do have because we do have a very beautiful community.
Mr. Carney: Actually if you are on the COD you are representing Turtle Run. You are not representing only one entity of Turtle Run although you are coming from Cypress Pointe you are actually representing the District as a whole. I don't have any more questions. Next is Leo.
Mr. Rossi: I have lived in Turtle Run for about 10 years. I work as a contractor locally at one of the largest construction firms. My position is Senior Vice President. I actually run the entire company, a $75,000,000 company. We do projects in Miami-Dade, Broward, West Palm Beach, and all over the place in different parts of the state. I am very involved in what I would call project estimates. Financing is my actual background. We look through aspects of the construction. I am actually a Florida-certified contractor. I am licensed. What I can actually give to the COD is some perspective from the contracting side and help in the decisions on doing any maintenance and starting or finishing new projects. I have never been involved with a Board or part of a group but I have about 12 people that I manage on a daily basis. We make decisions, we make decisions about budgets, estimates, projects and things like that. That is how I can help the COD.
Mr. Carney: Thank you.
Ms. Karnegis: One of the things with the COD is we make decisions that a best for the community. In your business you must have a lot of contacts out there. My question

to you is we have projects and what would you do if we had a project and the person that is going to do the construction whatever needs to be done on the project is somebody that you know like a friend or a personal contact, what would you do?
Mr. Rossi: When we talk business it is not personal relationships. I have been doing this for 23 years. If you have a contract with someone, the contract is going to be enforced besides the personal relationship that you might have. All the personal relationships that I have with different things that we utilize in the company that I work for are well-known contractors. We don't use contractors that are not going to finish a project. We don't use contractors that are taking your money and running away. We use legitimate contractors. If they make a mistake in estimates they are going to finish the project. We use well-known contractors. We don't have any problems whatsoever.
Mr. Morgan: You have lived here for 8 years you said now? Mr. Rossi: Ten.
Mr. Morgan: Turtle Run is a very nice community but what changes or what do you
think you could bring, you said you are a contractor, is there anything you would like to see in Turtle Run that we don't currently have?. What would be your vision?
Mr. Rossi; There are a lot of things that I have seen in the last ten years that are huge improvements. The lights were a huge improvement. I used to wake up at 4:00 in the morning to run and it was really dark. When I saw those lights coming in, it was a great improvement. The roundabout was a great improvement. All the parts and pieces that the Board has done before so all the areas where we have pavers including the wall. The wall that was put in was a great improvement. This is what I think a lot think that not spending is saving. My opinion is completely the opposite. Spending is a smart decision and that is what I do with the company. When we have someone that doesn't want to spend, it starts falling into old habits. You have to regulate this globally. How much is it going to cost us to maintain this instead of replacing it? This Board is like you guys running a company. That is what I do for a living. We do studies for a year, 5 years, 10 years, 25 years, how this is going to work? We have projects for each year. That is something that you guys put in place and don't start looking year by year, but start looking at long periods of time. That way the things that are set in place and whoever takes the Board after, they will continue the projects. The homeowners will not be affected. What would I like to see?

I would like to see you keep on maintaining all the green areas the same way that we have been maintaining the green areas. You do an excellent job. I would like to see the continuation of the wall at some point. It looks kind of odd. Every time I go out of my house this part has a wall and this one doesn't. Something like that. We have so many little associations surrounding the community but they are all in some kind of way different. Unification of a style. Unification of the same thing. Turtle Run is well-known for bricks, right? When you get out of Turtle Run there is a lot of grey and things like that, different looks. Everybody is an individual. How can you guys unite that with all those associations? Maybe we have to bring it to the Board, maybe they can see what you guys do. They can see how you guys try to get all together and start investing here and there to bring the community up. That is what I would like to see.
Mr. Morgan: Ok thank you.
Mr. Shipe: As I asked would you be in favor of the COD spending money to help the individual HOA's at their entrances and different points that are on their property to make the community more unified? Would that be a good use of money?
Mr. Rossi: I would like to answer your question correctly but I can't because I don't know the budget. I cannot be in favor of something, I can say yes let's help them but oh, we don't have the money. First, I would see where the money is, and where the money is being spent. It is based on priorities.
Mr. Carney: First thing, you are right. Brick is Turtle Run, no question about it. That is why we lobbied to keep our brick monument walls. That is us. I have no argument with that. You are talking about businesses borrowing money. Obviously, businesses have ORI with return on investment, what they look at. We don't get a return on the investment on a monetary basis. We don't get that return on investment as a business does. When you borrow money as a business at 3% and you make 25% on your money, of course you spend the money. We don't have that. We just borrow and pay it back basically. That is the difference between private business and what we are doing here. We had a long conversation prior to this, you answered all my questions that is for sure. I appreciate it. Ok, Ginny Tropea.
Ms. Tropea: I am currently the President at Cypress Pointe. I have been the President for maybe 8 months. Prior to that I was the Treasurer for a year and a half give

or take. I have been working in the payment industry since 2001 basically in Ms. Tropea was inaudible at this time, plastic and financial transactions as well as plastic and I managed a team within the small business portfolio for a year and a half in credit card processing and getting solutions. I am originally from upstate New York and I love the Buffalo Bills.
Ms. Karnegis: If you become a Board member, what change would you like to see or not only a change, but what would you like from the Board for the community?
Ms. Tropea: For the community, I would like to see the Board be as unified as possible and be able to stay within budget. Keep the community as beautiful as it is now and make improvements if possible within the budget. I don't think that any major changes should be happening especially in this kind of area that we are in now with going into a recession. You have to be fiscally responsible going into the next year. You have a fiduciary responsibility. You don't want to default on keeping the community as a whole beautiful.
Mr. Morgan: I agree with you by the way. Our Board is very efficient with the money we have. We passed the budget; we don't exceed our budget. Actually, I don't know what the carryover is this year. I need to find that out at the next meeting what the carryover comes to this year, but do you see any deficiencies that you would like to possibly look at and correct in Turtle Run? Do you see anything that we need to work on? I always hear from Cypress Pointe that maybe you guys don't get the representation. That is why we worked so hard with Parker and the Board here has worked on the flagpoles and hopefully, Jonathan will have some information regarding the flagpoles tonight and where we are at. The government operates kind of slow especially through the holidays here and with permitting and stuff but do you see any deficiencies or anything in Turtle Run that you would like to address?
Ms. Tropea: I think that there is always opportunity for growth but it needs to be looked at as a whole and it definitely needs to be put in respect with the budget and staying within the budget. At this time there are always improvements that can be made. Mr. Morgan; You don't necessarily see anything when you are driving through
Turtle Run or anything like that? We should do this, or we should do that?
Ms. Tropea: Nothing necessarily now.

Mr. Shipe: It was brought up that the COD is putting flagpoles in for your community. Do you feel that the COD should be more involved in doing projects like that for the individual HOA's or do you think that the HOA's should do that on their own?
Ms. Tropea: Within the easement or as a whole? Mr. Shipe: Within the easements.
Ms. Tropea: Yes, but I do see that it should be in each property, not just Cypress Pointe or not just Newport. Everybody should benefit from that.
Mr. Shipe: So you are in favor of the COD spending dollars for improvements for the individual HOA's?
Ms. Tropea: On the easements yes. Mr. Shipe: Thank you.
Mr. Carney: I guess what you are saying is that if it is visible in driving the community like the flagpoles will be, like Hidden Lakes landscape project will be and maybe Newport or the other entrances will be, then it will be well worth the COD to invest a few dollars so that way everything is consistent and uniform.
Ms. Tropea: But within the budget.
Mr. Carney: Of course. What role do you think you would play best on the Board?
Ms. Tropea: I think I would just be able to be an individual contributor to the overall group. I would be a team player.
Mr. Carney: Thank you. Barry Winfree.
Mr. Winfree: Hi, I am Barry Winfree. I live in Hidden Lake. I worked for General Motors for 42 years. Very seldom do you hear of someone working that long for one place. I started out as a janitor and retired as a Director. Right now, I have an even better job I am the executive assistant to the President of the HOA for Hidden Lake who happens to be my wife. Why would I like to come here? I think I heard bits and pieces from everybody. What I say and I will answer maybe a couple of questions going forward but I would like to be a part of this group because I see the impact it has on Turtle Run. I also believe that we need to be uniform. We should be uniform through the entire HOA. I will tell you right now Hidden Lake hasn't been maintained for ten years. It needs a facelift. Most of the others look fairly good but if we were uniform and like you said when you drive through Turtle Run, it doesn't look uniform. It is done in the common areas. I applaud everyone

for the common areas. That is one of the reasons why I would like to get on here because I think they have done a heck of a job and I would like to be part of that going forward. Where I think I can contribute to that is most of my work with General Motors was in project management. I managed huge projects, multi-million-dollar projects. I managed
$9,000,000 worth of inventory on a daily basis. I know how turning that over and how fast that has to move and how you have to not plan it year to year but you have to start planning out a little bit further of how we are going to run this going forward and not try to do everything year by year if that makes sense.
Mr. Carney: Ok.
Ms. Karnegis: If you were on the Board, what is one thing that you would like to see change?
Mr. Winfree: The project management is a little bit more than what we are doing this year. What are we going to do for the next two, three, four, or five years? Start moving a little bit further out with planning and getting all the neighborhoods involved.
Mr. Carney: What do you mean by getting all the neighborhoods involved?
Mr. Winfree: I hear a lot of talk about the HOA's but what I notice about here, and I don't know how that actually works because you have all the businesses also. Some of the worst areas I have seen are in the businesses. How do we manage to have all of Turtle Run including the businesses on the same level sort of speak? Does that make sense?
Mr. Carney: Absolutely.
Mr. Winfree: How do we get that involved? The common areas look great but there are other areas that just don't measure up to how the common areas look within Turtle Run. How do we build that?
Mr. Carney: Point well taken.
Mr. Morgan: Barry, we know each other. I have met you a couple of times. Just a few thoughts first before I ask questions. Uniformity is something we can do on property that we own, the COD. We cannot do any work on private property that we don't own.
Mr. Winfree: Easements can do that to.
Mr. Morgan: Easements are a different story.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Easements and ownership interest.

Mr. Morgan: We can work on easements like we did for Hidden Lake and Harbor Island and the easement we are doing right now with the flagpoles. What happens is uniformity is easy in the areas that we have. So ten or fifteen years when we did Hidden Lake that was the landscaping at the time. We had an easement agreement. We put in the landscaping and Hidden Lake was supposed to take care of it. Now over the years whatever happened and then some landscaping only has a shelf life for so long and it dies. Your area is due to be redone. Take Harbor Island, even though we have an easement agreement with them they just did it themselves this year. They didn't contact us and ask if we would redo theirs, they just redid it themselves. That is great too. Sometimes the entrances to each, Newport, as a matter of fact, decided not to have a landscape easement and refused or denied or wasn't interested in us helping them so therefore, that is why the entrance seems to be maybe, they are nice but they don't match the common areas.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Lance, remember Hidden Lake and Harbor Island both wanted to maintain their entrance?
Mr. Morgan: Again some plant life only has so much life in it no matter what you do to it. You are not on the HOA right now?
Mr. Winfree: No, you can't have two people in the same family on an HOA. Mr. Morgan: Your Christmas lights were pretty nice this year?
Mr. Winfree: Absolutely. We had so many compliments about that this year, it was unbelievable.
Mr. Morgan: That is all I have, thank you. Mr. Shipe: I have no questions.
Mr. Carney: What do you think in terms of the Board? What is the number one
thing?
Mr. Winfree: I think the project management starting off with that and the other
thing is I would like to if possible be part of the ones that talk to the businesses or how do we integrate them to kind of get that for lack of a better word uniformity or a little bit higher level of maintenance then what we are getting right now.
Mr. Carney: There is a government entity called the Foundation Board that oversees the businesses.

Mr. Pawelczyk: It is not a government entity. It is an Association entity.
Mr. Carney: It oversees the businesses. That would be in their hands to do something.
Mr. Morgan: We have no power to enforce anything upon a business on private property.
Mr. Carney: We can recommend it and our boys here Patrick and Pat recommended it to Walmart. They talked to a couple of corporate guys to say that your curb appeal is terrible. You guys need to step it up. We want you to look like the rest of the community and they did that. They did a lot of work on the roadway, so it looks like something. Walmart parking lot looks the same but at least from the street side, it looks a lot better. They did at least listen, and they understood it. The one thing they did say, Walmart corporate guys said our storefront should be like the rest of the community. I said does it? He said no, this is embarrassing, and he walked away Mr. Camey was inaudible at this time. There was one more candidate that was going to be here. His name was Jamie Baker from Harbor Island. He got tied up at business meetings tonight. He sends his apologies so I am not sure where that is going just so everyone knows.
Mr. Carney: Mike, do you want to give some directions on how we should proceed?
Mr. Pawelczyk: At this time your agenda has consideration of appointment. You could move to appoint a candidate at this time if you are ready. You are not required to. That is really up to the Board how you wish to proceed. There are no scheduled proceedings in the Florida Statute that says how to do it, it is really up to you. See how you want to proceed and I will tell you if you can do it that way. How is that? Any suggestions I am happy to take up based on the thousands of other meetings I have sat through doing this. I will leave it to the Board.
Mr. Carney: I spent a lot of time with all of the candidates, probably an hour or longer and had a long conversation. I know the Board members haven't had much conversation with the candidates. We could take this up at the next meeting. If you guys want to reach out and speak with the candidates of interest and have a little more conversation, little more Q&A and then we could take it up at the next meeting. That would be my suggestion.

Ms. Karnegis: I would like to have time to review and go over their resume one more time to include the answers that they provided so that I make a final decision.
Mr. Shipe: I concur that is fine.
Mr. Carney: Lance, are you ok with that?
Mr. Morgan: I have no problems with that. I would just like to say this though. You have good representation throughout Turtle Run, and different communities. The COD Board is not based on what community you live in. We all live in Turtle Run. It is all like we live in the State of Florida, but we have to live in the United States of America to live in the State of Florida. I think each Board member understands that you are representing Turtle Run at its fullest and at its best and not just your individual section. I know you know that but my point is I think during this review process or during our time that we are going to review letters or think about the candidates, we don't get stuck on representation because they all have valid points to represent their community. If you want to do it by numbers, Cypress Pointe has the numbers over all the other communities. Hidden Lake has 65 houses, Turtle Run has 253 homes, Newport maybe 115 homes, Harbor Island about the same so I mean obviously Cypress Pointe is the biggest representation of property owners. There are how many units?
Ms. Tropea: 333.
Mr. Morgan: Those homeowners somebody owns those condos and pays taxes to Turtle Run regardless if it is the renter who lives there and votes but somebody pays those taxes to Turtle Run and that is the owner of that property. I would say that we should look as to who is the most qualified candidate obviously and who brings the most to the table with things like experience, past performance, I don't know maybe something like getting a job done. That is going to be my review process. That is all I would like to share, and I agree with you if you want to review I have no problem with that.
Mr. Carney: And the one thing Lance he hadn't quite said it, but it takes time. Lance puts a lot of time into the community. He walks every morning and every afternoon. It takes a lot of time. He drives around with BrightView. He takes the time, and it does take a commitment and it takes some time. When you drive through the neighborhood you have to know what you are looking for. You have to see what you are looking at. That is

what it is all about. Rob does a lot of work. He walks his dog and goes everywhere but it takes involvement of Board members. Is that right?
Mr. Morgan: I agree. So what do you want to do next meeting then Mr. Chairman? Do you want to just come in and make a nomination next meeting after we have all thought about it or how would you like to proceed?
Mr. Carney: What would be your suggestion, Mike?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I am just the lawyer, and I will tell you if it is legal or illegal but I would hope that you would be able after you have done your individual homework that someone would be able to make an appointment. However, if you can't come to an agreement because that person is going to need three votes, three of the four you have to vote for that individual that is appointed with a four-person Board. If you can't come to an agreement then you are going to have to narrow the list of candidates and then try to eventually come to an agreement after that or you can narrow the list of candidates now too.
Mr. Carney: I think we need some time.
Mr. Padilla: Based on what the Board gave direction at the last meeting anyone that was not present here will be disqualified. I just wanted to confirm that is the case, correct?
Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Shipe: Jamie may stop by. He asked how much longer we were going to be here. He didn't say for sure.
Mr. Carney: He sent me a text saying he was tied up in a business meeting and couldn't get down.
Mr. Morgan: You can give him till the end of the meeting, he was on his way you said. You could extend the invitation to the next meeting.
Mr. Carney: I think it is fair. I think he is a pretty good candidate. Are we all ok with extending the invitation to the next meeting for Jamie?
Ms. Karnegis: That is fine. Mr. Shipe: Yes.

Mr. Pawelczyk: That is consistent with what you guys did in terms of making sure you got the word out to get as many qualified individuals as you can to come to the table so you can make a decision.
Mr. Carney: We did. I am very happy with the turnout.
Mr. Morgan: Also Martin Ford is absent tonight for some reason. He didn't contact me. Did he contact anybody else? I will reach out to him or somebody can reach out to him and make sure he is at the next meeting.
Mr. Carney: Would you please? Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Shipe: One thing I would say to the candidates is I know you guys put an effort in to apply but I would say that I don't think you have to be here at the next meeting if for some reason you had a conflict.
Mr. Carney: That is fine with me. Hopefully, Zaida wants to digest it a little bit more, Rob might want to digest, maybe give you a call and have a little more conversation with you. You guys said what you had to say at this meeting, I agree with Rob. Ok, thank you. We appreciate it very much. You guys are welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting or you can excuse yourselves if you would like.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Meeting Schedule
at Coral Bay CDD Clubhouse Meeting Room
Mr. Carney: Discussion of meeting schedule at Coral Bay COD Clubhouse meeting room. Julio?
Mr. Padilla: The last Board meeting at Coral Bay authorized to allow Turtle Run COD to meet there on the last Monday of the month at no charge for the next three months. Afterward they are going to reconsider to see what they will do going forward.
Mr. Morgan: They are allowing us to have one meeting a month.
Mr. Padilla: Yes, at the end of every month because there are HOA meetings already scheduled which will conflict with the second Monday of every month.
Mr. Carney: Do you want to start with that? I am fine with that if everyone else is. Ms. Karnegis: Is that the only one that you looked at?

Mr. Padilla: For the moment yes. We wanted to bring that to the Board. That will give us more time to look for something else.
Mr. Morgan: So technically possibly they could allow us to use it more, but they have a schedule right now but come the new schedule, there may be more dates.
Mr. Padilla: Correct.
Mr. Pawelczyk: They wanted to evaluate it first just to see if there is an impact on them or their community from a traffic standpoint, use, and all that stuff.
Mr. Carney: Ok. It is the same facility we used during Covid right?
Mr. Padilla: Yes. I do have a question in relation to using Margate Police Department at those meetings being that it is in Margate. Maybe we can get a motion to authorize going into a contract while we do the meetings there and then when we do them here we will continue as the Board already authorized Sunrise Police Department.
Mr. Pawelczyk: There is an off-duty detail agreement so we want you to approve it at this point.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Ms. Karnegis with all in favor, a motion authorizing staff to enter into an agreement with the Margate Police Department for the meetings held at Coral Bay was approved.

Mr. Pawelczyk: Just for Julio when you advertise for the three months, I would advertise both meetings. I don't want to have confusion. The first meeting is here and the second meeting in the month is Coral Bay so just advertise them all.
Mr. Padilla: Ok.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Otherwise someone could argue those are the only three meetings if you only advertise the three.
Mr. Shipe: When you say that, is it on the website?
Mr. Pawelczyk: It has to be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation that nobody reads pursuant to the Statute.
Mr. Shipe: These meetings have that also?
Mr. Pawelczyk: What we do is advertise an annual meeting schedule. For instance before October 1, sometime in September or August, GMS advertised an annual meeting

schedule for all our meetings to be here. Then that schedule is taken and put on the website. If we are going to change that or advertise a special meeting we need to do another advertisement. What Julio is going to do is advertise the second Monday of the month will be here and the final Monday of the month will be at Coral Bay with the address for the next three months. They would just do the whole schedule again. I would just readvertise the meeting schedule.
Mr. Carney: Thank you, Julio.
Mr. Pawelczyk: If you want me to look at it, just have Jennifer send it to me. Mr. Padilla: Ok.
Mr. Shipe: Did we have any interest in trying to do a public comment meeting where we try to put up some sandwich boards at the entrances and say this meeting is a public comment meeting and let the residents know? Is that something we were interested in doing?
Mr. Pawelczyk: Every meeting is a public comment meeting. Mr. Shipe: Correct.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You can do what you want. I have had Boards do Townhall meetings but that is really if you kind of need it. Usually, it is if you are going to increase the budget or spend more money or you are going to do some project. This is the way I look at it, other people may look at it differently but I live in the City of Pompano Beach and I have never been to one cornmission meeting other than when my son was honored for baseball, but if I need to talk to somebody I call my commissioner, email my commissioner, email the city manager and that is how I get my information, why because those are my elected officials. Those are the people that I have elected or maybe not elected but they are the ones who represent me. I follow up that way. That is really what your role here is. Like for a resident to come here and say there are weeds in the weed bed. Why are you wasting our time with that? You guys on the Board, you don't determine if there are weeds there. Call Julio, that is what is on the website. A lot of residents don't know that until they come here and they learn, but that is why you want to get all your information ahead of time. You are here during this meeting to make decisions, agreements, and maintenance providers. If you hear residents' complaints or Julio is telling you there are resident complaints then you want to act on those and deal with those

contractors accordingly. Public comment is all people are going to do is come here and the other thing with public comment is just because you are a newer Board member, public comment is you can ask as many questions as you want at a County commission meeting. Do you know how many they are going to answer? None. They don't have time. They don't have time to explain to each individual resident what the County does or the District does. Residents should be getting that outside of the meeting, talk to his or her elected officials outside of the meeting. The one thing about this Board though, is that this is the most people we have had in a meeting in a while and if those people ask questions, we can answer them. The Board answers them or Julio answers them so they don't go away saying they are not providing the information. I think if you are going to do some sort of public comment you are going to have to have some sort of ground rules because otherwise, you are just going to be explaining the same thing over and over again.
Mr. Morgan: I do think this though, we did have during Covid last year numerous meetings at much closer locations, the hotels. Probably a dozen meetings at the hotels and we used Coral Bay even when Dennis was still here. We used Coral Bay quite a bit over the last two years. Most of the time and Skip can vouch for this, you might have had a resident or maybe two outside of the Board. I like your idea. I don't like driving down here and maybe we would have some more participation from more of the residents if we get more residents interested in coming to the meeting. It is not like we have been out here for twelve years or whatever the time has been and we have never been anywhere else. We have been at the hotels, and we have been to Coral Bay but I agree with you 100% that if we could have half our meetings at Coral Bay and get that done, absolutely. At least you have an opportunity when people ask you as a new Board member or just talking to people that you see say hey, there is a meeting at Coral Bay. You tell a couple of your neighbors and say come to a meeting and see what is going on. At least it is not out here and maybe we will get some more participation.
Mr. Carney: Word of mouth is the way to go.
Mr. Shipe: What about putting at Turtle Run and Tortoise sandwich board to say two days before the meeting? We say it is on the website, people can hardly find the website.

Mr. Morgan: We had sandwich boards before advertising this project is being done by the Turtle Run COD. Most people believe it or not when we built the roundabout they thought the City built the roundabout, smart people, HOA people. They thought the City put in the roundabout. We had the lane squeezed down to one lane and put a bicycle lane, the City of Coral of Springs is wonderful, no we did that. What do you mean you did that? The median widening, the Passive Park, a lot of people think the City does those improvements. I agree we had sandwich boards that said this project is being done by the COD. We can direct staff to get a couple of sandwich boards, put them up, and advertise the meeting the week of. That is a good idea.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You can advertise the website too.
Mr. Morgan: Make a motion and I will back you on it and let's move on.
Mr. Pawelczyk: At Coral Bay at least once every other meeting you have residents come in. I just moved in, I just want to see what this is about.
Mr. Morgan: You could do that at the close meetings.
Mr. Shipe: I make a motion that we get three sandwich boards to go out two days before the Coral Bay meeting and advertise the time and the place.
Mr. Morgan: We will leave it to staff to put what is necessary on there.

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Morgan with all in favor, a motion directing staff to purchase three sandwich boards to post the Turtle Run COD meetings two days before the meeting with date, time and place was approved.

that?

Mr. Carney: Patrick and Julio, are you guys going to follow up on

Mr. Padilla: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: Can you chain them down because people take those? I am just

letting you know. I don't know what they are cost-wise, but they will walk.
Mr. Carney: We have all heard this a thousand times, oh it is all the way over there.
We will bring it closer, watch what happens. No one is going to show up.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It might give the opportunity to those people Rob and Lance are talking about who may want to come every once in a while.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Update on Turtle Run Boulevard
and Sample Road Main Feature Fountain
Mr. Carney: Update on Turtle Run Boulevard and Sample Road main feature fountain. Is that you Julio? Can you give us an update?
Mr. Padilla: I spoke to the contractor through the attorney. I don't have any updates of their conversation, but they will be working on a proposal in coordination with the special counsel. We should have more information at the next meeting.
Mr. Carney: This is the question I am going to have about this whole thing. When we get the information back there won't be a dollar amount attached to that, it will just be the scope of work, correct?
Mr. Pawelczyk: It said not to exceed $10,000.
Mr. Carney: I am talking about what the expert gives back to us is just going to be the scope of work. The expert is doing the evaluation of the fountains.
Mr. Pawelczyk: He is going to give you the report. Special counsel is supposed to assist in developing the scope of work since it would be his expert should we have to pursue litigation. The scope of work would be with a consultant and the District will enter into an agreement with that consultant directly in an amount not to exceed $10,000. That doesn't mean you can't add to it but usually, it is based on an hourly rate. He will give a this is what it is going to cost for me to go out there, two inspections and a report or something like that. Similar to Jonathan's proposals.
Mr. Carney: Should we wait until we get that report back?
Mr. Pawelczyk: You already authorized us to enter into an agreement to move forward with that report.
Mr. Carney: We know that but there is going to be another motion that will be needed to put on the table about litigation with the attorney, correct?
Mr. Pawelczyk: There is but that motion hasn't been made by the Board. Mr. Carney: We have not agreed to that yet.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Special counsel has been notified of your actions. After the last meeting, I spoke with him on the Tuesday following your Monday meeting.

Mr. Carney: The question I have for the Board is are we wasting time just waiting for this expert to give us a report since we know we are going to move forward anyway? We know we are going to move forward with this. Do we want to wait for the report to come back to see what we are moving forward with? Or do you want to start the process? Mr. Pawelczyk: At the last meeting just for a refresher, the Board decided they wanted to see what was in the report. You guys correct me if I am wrong, but I thought
you wanted to see the report, talk to special counsel before you decided to proceed.
Mr. Shipe: I apologize, is the report going to say what needs to be done or it is more technical and it is going to say who made the mistakes?
Mr. Carney: It is going to say what needs to be done. Why is it leaking? Why is it not working?
Mr. Pawelczyk: Litigation would bring out whose fault it is.
Mr. Kapish: I have been working with that before I left the Board and the report that the engineer who works for the counsel is preparing it for two reasons. One reason is that it puts together a cohesive report of exactly what needs to be done to the fountain. That is used for two reasons. If you want to sue the contractor or sue the architect, then you know exactly what is needed and required to do to fix the fountain if you fix it or you sue them. The other reason is you use that report to send it out to different contractors that are qualified in doing work on fountains, not pool people, but qualified contractors with fountains, and then they can bid on the repairs. You then have apples to apples because you have the same report. You give it several different contractors which you should get. You should get several different bids probably four or five. The engineer actually knows four or five contractors that he could probably give to you so you give that out and have them bid on what needs to be done to correct it.
Mr. Shipe: Thank you. So Skip.
Mr. Carney: We are waiting for the report.
Mr. Shipe: We can't bid it out because we don't know the scope of work that needs to be done.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don't think it is going to take that long. I talked to him on the 10th.
I don't know why it has taken so long to get a proposal and a scope. That is my personal opinion.

Mr. Carney: Do you want to follow up on that where this is? Mr. Padilla: Yes I will.
Mr. Carney: How long ago did the guy go out there?
Mr. Morgan: Chris, when did you meet that guy out there?
Mr. Kapish: He was out there, and he looked at the fountain. I didn't go with him but I talked to him on the phone after he did look at it. It has been months since he looked at it. He was waiting for the Board to approve the report and that is where the delay was. There was no decision made on whether to produce the report.
Mr. Morgan: He was waiting for the Board's authorization to create the report for the $10,000 which we voted for at the last meeting. I talked to him on the phone.
Mr. Carney: Ok so we will wait for the report. Julio, you will follow up on that and find out where it is and how long it is going to take?
Mr. Padilla: I will.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
A.	Attorney
Mr. Carney: Staff reports, attorney.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don't have anything further at this time unless the Board has any questions.
Mr. Morgan: Rob asked a very interesting question regarding the landowners only
having the right to vote in Turtle Run. Could you address that for us, please?
Mr. Pawelczyk: You can't do that. Chapter 190 Florida Statutes is clear that anybody who is a registered elector within the District will vote within the District. That is who elects you all. That is who has voting rights. It is in the Statute so unless you are going to change the Statute which I don't you are going to be able to do for I don't know there is at least 1,000 CDD's in the State now. That would be difficult. It is not landowner­ based like NSID, North Springs Improvement District, Coral Springs Improvement District, those are I think are landowner-based Districts. Those were created by a special act of the legislature. So is Pine Island Community Development District or Pine Tree Water Control District.
Mr. Morgan: The second question I have for you Mike is Rob brought up another
question that was interesting, can you explain just for him because he is a new Board

member and he is behind the eight ball on some stuff? Can you explain how the businesses have to get representation for the contribu1ion they make, and the second part of the question is the question was how do we feel about as a Board spending in easements in front of other communities? Does the same rule apply to individual HOA's like that? We have to do a study showing X amount of dollars was spent for the businesses.
Mr. Pawelczyk: For the capital improvement program we did and for operations, but your assessments are based on the benefit to the property owner. That is how assessments are determined and that assessment methodology was established like in 1990 when the District was created. The representation of the commercial property owners you represent them as Board members, and it is really your fiduciary duty I guess to make sure that the assessments that are being levied on those properties are always the same. They don't change in the methodology that they are getting a benefit for it which they are because we maintain all those entrances, all the roadways. They use the heck out of our roadways and that is calculated into the benefit even though they might not have as much green space that is maintained by the District. Their impact on the roads is part of that assessment, that benefit and the stormwater. All their stormwater from all those rooftops goes into our drains. All those parking lots and all the impervious areas. That was all determined in 1990 and it is just the same methodology going forward. That is why the residential property, the single-family homeowners are assessed by acreage. You guys are assessed by acreage depending on the size of your lot which is frankly kind of unusual now they don't assess people by lot size. They usually assess by the type of unit and one of the reasons for that is unlike in 1990 some of your houses in Turtle Run are kind of a little different. Now when builders come in and build they have one single­ family home type, one townhome type and they are all the same. They are the footage, the same lot size so they are more cookie-cutter than what you have in Turtle Run.
Mr. Shipe: So for Cypress Pointe is each condo it doesn't matter if it is a three­ bedroom or a two-bedroom since it doesn't really have a footprint, do they all pay the same?
Mr. Pawelczyk: It is in the methodology report that is a question for management.
They will tell you how they are assessed. Cypress Pointe like Lance said the problem

with Cypress Pointe is we don't do a lot of maintenance in Cypress Pointe because we have no property interest. We handle their stormwater and clean their pipes.
Mr. Morgan: Some holiday lights, maybe new flagpoles. Mr. Pawelczyk: We added that in recent years.
Mr. Morgan: That is all I have for the attorney.
Mr. Carney: Thank you. The reality of it is renters are registered voters and they pay taxes indirectly.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It depends on what the lease says. I look at it this way. A COD is like a city, but we are different in the fact that a city, but a city can do whatever it wants as long as there is not a Statute that says it can't do it. You can do whatever you want as long as it is a legal right. As long as there is a Statute that says you can't do it or it doesn't conflict with the County, the Feds, or the State of Florida. The COD can only do what is in Chapter 190. We are a local government with limited powers. Those powers are set forth explicitly in Chapter 190. You will learn that as you go forward. We don't expect you to know everything in the first two meetings.
8.	Engineer
1)	Updates on:
a.	Cypress Pointe Flagpole Improvements Project
b.	Easement Atlas
Mr. Geiger: At this point with the Cypress Pointe flagpoles, we have all our agreements signed. Thank you Board for approving the electrician. Last meeting I was absent I know that was the last piece we had here. 30 Paving has currently sent the permit applications to both me and Patrick to handle getting it signed by Cypress Pointe. They are the property owner so as soon as those get signed off on. We are also waiting on the shop drawing with load calc from the flagpole company. They have been trying to make contact with 30 Paving the last couple of days from what I understand. There are a couple more documents that we need to be able to submit to permitting and then the application but at this point, I have handed over everything to the contractor that he needs minus what I haven't received from the flagpole company. We are getting ready to hopefully go to permitting I am hoping this week. It is really going to depend on how soon we get the application signed. I believe Patrick said he was going to handle that with Cypress Pointe. We put the deposit in already on the flagpole and 30 Paving's deposit

so we should have everything ready to hit the ground running as soon as we get the permits approved. I am assuming a quick turnaround on the permit because it is a very small project. The City was aware we were doing this. We have the easement and everything else recorded. That is normally the last bit of questioning I get from the City. At this point, I am hoping by the next meeting that there is a little bit more, either the permit is submitted and is in review or if there are any other hangups with it I will definitely come to the Board with it. As of right now, we are just trying to get to permitting.
Mr. Morgan: To date Jonathan can you give me an average approximate cost of the project?
Mr. Geiger: According to what I have written right here it should be a little bit under
$50,000 and that includes time not charged out yet by KCI and the electrical engineer for construction phase services. KCI originally had a $7,500 number that included designing and construction phase services. I don't think we are going to use more than that. It should be a simple project. Design came in under what we expected. It shouldn't be double but
$60,000 should be around where we are sitting pending any weird change orders. I don't foresee anything coming up. I have spoken with 3D Paving and Keith the electrician. They both seem to know what they are doing. They gave us proposals with the number already on them.
Mr. Carney: We have an electrician that knows what he is doing, hold onto to him
Pat.
Mr. Geiger: He has been wonderful, any time I have had to speak with him about
wanting to help Turtle Run specifically.
Mr. Morgan: How long do you foresee the project taking once we get the go­ ahead?
Mr. Geiger: 3D Paving said they wanted to try to knock this out in like two weeks. I can see it taking maybe two or three depending. I know they are coordinating right now with the flagpole company on when to get the flagpoles delivered. There seems to be some disconnect why they are not getting delivered on the day that they are going to get installed by the flagpole company. They are trying to figure that out. The poles might hold us up if anything, but they seem pretty confident that it is a two to three-week turnaround

once they get the go-ahead. They should not take more than a month on this at all. That is from when they get their permit obviously.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Since we have two representatives from Cypress Pointe here, do we need to coordinate with the contractor in terms of making sure that they can get the word out to their community traffic-wise because are they going to impact the lanes with this?
Mr. Geiger: I imagine they are going to have to because it is two in, two out right? I imagine they are going to have to shut down the inner lanes against the median but they should still give residents the out-and-in. They are going to be on Sample Road so the City is going to make them follow FOOT and MOT procedures I imagine. In their bid, they needed to provide MOT but it is not going to be shut down. They might just take up a lane.
Ms. Tropea: It shouldn't be any more intense than our holiday lights only it probably takes more hours.
Mr. Geiger: They will be there for a little bit longer. As soon as we have a schedule I can make sure GMS has it and they can get it over to your community and everything, that way everybody is on the same page. You can give your residents a notice construction is starting in a week or whatever. That is probably the best way. I will be out intermittently keeping track of them.
Mr. Carney: Do you have a card you can give Julio or your information? Mr. Burgess: I have been in contact with Brenden the property manager.
Mr. Carney: The original number talked about was not to exceed $65,000 so we are doing pretty good.
Mr. Geiger: It came in pretty on point. To put it in perspective, the last flagpole project was around the same amount of money. It was relatively the same but three flagpoles. That was four or five years ago, and costs have gone up. That is all I have to report on the flagpoles. Last week I emailed Julio the finished easement atlas. I asked him to email the Board those. Did the Board get that?
Mr. Carney: Yes.
Mr. Geiger: Board members should have the easement atlas. The idea for going forward with this is any time the District gets an easement recorded and management or

Mike sends it to us, survey is going to keep the file on the computer updated on this. We are looking at maybe every two years unless there is a need to publish a new copy electronically and get a new book out. Obviously, if we go through a construction phase program where we are recording sixteen or seventeen easements, we will look at doing a special pushing and getting the copy out since it doesn't require us to bind a book or anything. We are just going to see if the Board is ok with it, just use our continuing service task number, the time of materials, survey might spend an hour putting it into the file and keeping everything up to date. I wasn't sure if there needed to be a motion or Board approval on that. Anything more though where it is going to take a little bit more effort if survey needs to put an EWA together, we will bring that before the Board as well. If they have a way they would like to change the easement atlas down the road that is going to help facilitate looking at this stuff easier, but as of right now we are just going to move forward keeping it updated so there is not a question of do we have an easement. If it is not in the book we have now the Board is always welcome to email or call me and I can figure it out with a survey or look it up on our County records. It gets harder the more easements we have for the District.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The atlas is super helpful.
Mr. Geiger: The one thing that did change on the atlas is if you take a look at it, each page only shows the easements relative to that page now so when it is divided into a couple of different sections instead of there being every landscape easement, it should only be the ones that are relevant to what is being shown which helps. Trying to go through 100 easements when you are trying to find one on a page was kind of hard. Those are the only major changes made from when we did the draft in front of the Board. That is all I have on my list. I am still waiting for the final invoice from Horsepower for the signs. They still have not put the stickers on the No U-Turn signs. I email them once a week about this. I understand why they can't do it but obviously, they don't want the
$1,600 that we still owe them.
Mr. Carney: That name will never go away.
Mr. Geiger: Horsepower no. They still have other work to do on the streetlights replacing some of that stuff.

Mr. Carney: I mentioned at the last meeting you weren't here. In talking to Jennifer Wasserman our CPA, make sure you clearly mark your invoices exactly what project they are for so she can keep a running total of each project and what it has cost us.
Mr. Geiger: Ok, Bob should be doing that when he sends the invoice. A lot of the stuff especially stuff that pops up at the meetings, phone calls tends to fall under continuing service so that might be where some of the disconnect is coming.
Mr. Carney: Prior to that and going back to the bond projects, it wasn't done too well. Everything got comingled and it took a while to untangle it.
Mr. Geiger: I can do that moving forward.
Mr. Shipe: Just a question on the easement atlas, if it says landscape easement, does that mean that the COD owns that property?
Mr. Geiger: You wouldn't be able to own the property if there was an easement
there.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That means the COD has an easement to maintain the landscaping
on someone else's property.
Mr. Geiger: Access to for the purpose of however the easement is written.
Mr. Pawelczyk: There are wall easements in there too where we have walls over private property.
Mr. Geiger: Some of the easements in there were written up, our survey department just went on how the easement was worded. If you notice some are wall, landscape, maintenance easements, lighting so just because one doesn't fall under landscape there is a wall/landscape so there are a couple of different categories. If you can't find one it might especially the landscaping ones we had a lot of easements that just were blanket landscape/wall/entryway.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Some of them are like 86 or 87.
Mr. Geiger: Some are very old. Some are platted easements, so they are straight on the plat. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email and I can definitely take a look at it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: And there is a like OR book and page number associated with each you can look on that if you research Broward County public records search. If you Google

that you can go and put the OR official records book and page number and that document will come up and you can read it yourself.
Mr. Geiger: Or that instrument number itself. Some of them are just instrument numbers.
Mr. Pawelczyk: If you need something right away just email one of us.
C. Field Manager
Mr. Carney: We can move on to the Field manager report. Jamie Baker has joined us. Would you like to listen to Jamie? How would you like to do that?
Mr. Shipe: I say we finish the agenda and then we do Jamie at the end. Mr. Carney: Sounds good. Thank you. Pat?
Mr. Szozda: Briefly we have the pavers reset in the park area. We did have the copper cap also painted on the corner of Wiles and Creekside on the west side of the road. I encourage everybody to go take a look at that. It was done by Centurion. It came out great. I do believe you also have from Best Metal a photo of their rendition to redo the caps completely in front of you but it is the west side of Creekside and Wiles. It is the furthest cap that has been redone. Take a look at it.
Mr. Morgan: And they painted it. Did you Pat take an inventory of any damaged ones that we have out there? That is why we are looking at new ones.
Mr. Szozda: The structural integrity of all these copper caps are intact. There are some dents here and there but as far as the caps go the integrity is in place on all of them.
Mr. Morgan: Did you have a chance to review the email from the people who sent us this photograph here? What would be their cost?
Mr. Szozda: There was no cost. That was just a rendition. We didn't get into the
cost.
Mr. Morgan: I understood from talking to the man on the phone that it would be
somewhere in the neighborhood of $350 depending which material and depending on if that kind of cap you like or if you wanted one with maybe more flutes. It could be more expensive but new would probably cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $400. That is an example of what we could have. We could design our own or do whatever.

Mr. Szozda: Yes, I spoke with Carlos. Apparently, there are different grades of copper too. You would have to get into the installation, and removal of the existing if that was the direction we are going to take. We really didn't discuss that in any detail.
Mr. Morgan: We need to discuss that to find out what direction we want to go. Does the Board feel like we want to paint old caps? I will tell you the ones by the Turtle Run Park on the west side on the back side of it, tree limbs have fallen on it and they are bent. Not all of them are bent but there are creases in it and dents where tree limbs or something has hit it over the years. There are other locations by tennis courts and across the street from Wendy's on the back side where tree limbs have hit those too and stuff. If we are going to update the wall and put a $35,000/$40,000 sign inside each one it makes no sense to me to not put up new caps one way or the other. Painting was how much?
Mr. Szozda: Preliminary discussions were between $16,000 and $24,000.
Mr. Morgan: That was kind of expensive and we talked about these could be as much as, how many caps are there?
Mr. Szozda: There are 36.
Mr. Morgan: If you go $500 a cap that is $18,000 but even if you ballpark that and say it's another $10,000 on that or whatever, I think it would be more prudent to go new caps. We have signs and we are going to put new landscaping in, it doesn't make sense to paint the caps.
Mr. Szozda: I would encourage everybody to take a look at it. My personal opinion is it looks brand new but that is my opinion so I encourage all the Board members to take a look at it.
Ms. Karnegis: I think I would like to take a look at and see just because of some things with this cap. How does it measure up with what we have? You just talked about different levels of copper. Once you start adding they could tell you it is going to be a certain price but then we start adding. We want a better grade, and we want this and like anything else now we are at the higher end.
Mr. Szozda: We will tie him down to a more accurate estimate, but I encourage everybody to look at the caps. We will go price it with both companies and figure out what we can do.

Mr. Morgan: One other thing Pat, can you get a working copy of the easement atlas in our truck and keep it in there for us?
Mr. Szozda: I have one copy.
Mr. Morgan: When we do our drive-by there might be questions that come up and that type of thing.
Mr. Geiger: Do you want me to get another bound copy for you to keep in the truck? Mr. Szozda: Mine is not bound. Thank you, sir. The last thing I have is I did get a proposal if nobody has any objections to do the Creekside and Turtle Creek Drive, that bare area. There are two palm trees. There is no landscaping there. They are going to put in some arboricola and some copper leaf. Then when we do the rotation of flowers they want to add flowers but I told them to hold. off on the flowers because we will be
doing a new rotation the last week of March. I didn't see the sense in putting them in.
Mr. Morgan: Where are they putting those in? Mr. Szozda: Creekside and Turtle Creek Drive.
Mr. Carney: That has been a very bare area for a long time.
Mr. Szozda: Mastec went through there and tore up a bunch of that. After speaking with them they are done so I think we can move forward with that project.
Mr. Morgan: Any word on the gap where they removed that tree over by Lake Lauren Jackson?
Mr. Szozda: That is going in tomorrow.
Mr. Morgan: And you just approve that your level? Mr. Szozda: Yes sir.
Mr. Morgan: How about the tennis courts between the silver?
Mr. Szozda: He measured in between there, and he says there are fifteen feet basically between both palmettos to be filled in there. We will work up an estimate on that.
Mr. Morgan: How about the Chinese blueberry trees? Mr. Szozda: Yes, that is preliminary.
Mr. Morgan: Pat and I on our last drive-by identified a couple of locations. At the roundabout on the northeast corner where the apartment complex is we lost landscaping there. The dahoan hollies were chopped down. There used to be some trees behind there that fell down or something happened to them so we're thinking about if you go by there

all you see is that big apartment building right there in our beautiful roundabout so the Chinese blueberry's get big and they are really nice trees. We are thinking about putting a couple in there.
Mr. Carney: The Winston Park Apartments you are talking about, right?
Mr. Morgan: No, they are called the Park Apartments. They are across the street from Wiles Road.
Mr. Carney: They changed the name. Mr. Morgan: They did?
Mr. Carney: It is called Winston now.
Mr. Morgan: Same one then. When you sit in the roundabout there is a big gap there because we took down two dahoan holly's, a big tree behind it died right after we cut them down so we are thinking about where those dahoan hollies were and putting in some Chinese blueberry trees which is a very nice tree. Put two of them there and block that building. It kind of ruins the aesthetics of the roundabout. Julio, the carryover from last year to this year I need to find out what that was and what line item it was merged into. I want you to talk to Jennifer and find out what percentage of tax increase that was. When you have carryover and put it into a line item that is a tax increase, right Mike? That is what she said and I want an explanation for that. Remember the 440% tax increase was from the carryovers and putting them in the line items. I want to find out how much is the carryover this year and where she put that money. Is that clear?
Mr. Padilla: Yes, it was.
Mr. Shipe: Pat a couple of weeks ago I sent you guys a picture of that open junction
box.
Mr. Szozda: Yes, see the one above the ground. I didn't get a look at the junction
box though. It is right there in that same area?
Mr. Shipe: Yes. There is no cap on it.
Mr. Szozda: I have caps, let me see if I have a cap. I stopped over there and saw the one that was protruding out of the ground there.
Mr. Shipe: The other one is a little more to the right. Mr. Szozda: I will get on that tomorrow.

Mr. Shipe: Did we get in touch with the City about seeing if we can use their yard to put the extra poles and the bricks to get that out of that area over under the FPL easement?
Mr. Morgan: I talked to Pat about it just this week.
Mr. Szozda: We discussed possibly Lowe's also. They have an abundance of room back there. It is a conversation. It will happen. The other point to my knowledge all those poles sitting on the easement are useless right? There is no value to those.
Mr. Geiger: I would have to check again but I believe that they are either broken poles or poles at this point could not be used for any combination of signs that currently exist.

them.

Mr. Szozda: We need to figure out a plan for those because there is no use for

Mr. Geiger: If they are broken, technically I think they become the property of

Horsepower at that point.
Mr. Szozda: They can have them all.
Mr. Carney: Any other questions for Pat or Patrick?
D. Manager

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
A. Financial Report on Capital Projects, Emergency Funds, Capital Reserve and All Other Financial Issues
B. Approval of Check Register
C. Balance Sheet and Income Statement
Mr. Carney: Next on the agenda is financial reports. I just sent over the capital reserve where we are, and are sitting. Nothing has really changed. We still have some outstanding bills that need to be paid for the sign project. There is $568,284 left in capital reserves once they are paid up. With that said I need a motion.
Mr. Morgan: One other thing, Mike, you sent me a landscape easement agreement with the City of Coral Springs. This is Julia actually.
Mr. Pawelczyk: These are the license agreements we have.
Mr. Morgan: If you focus on the one with the City regarding the brick pavers at the entrances of the three Estate of Turtle Run streets to the far right it says that the HOA is responsible for those.

Mr. Geiger: The HOA is named the first responsibility then the COD is named the second responsibility. If the City comes in and says these aren't maintained if the HOA is not going to do it, the COD has to do it.
Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Geiger: I am familiar with that one.
Mr. Morgan: I am just trying to clarify that for my own. Mr. Pawelczyk: It is in the agreement.
Mr. Geiger: There are three names on that one, the City, COD, and HOA. The HOA has the primary maintenance responsibility per the license agreement.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think the purpose of that was way back when the HOA was the one who wanted the pavers at the entrance. The only way that the City would allow them to do it was if the COD came in and said well, we will take care of it if the HOA do what they are obligated to do and then we will assess them back.
Mr. Geiger: That is how I understood it. Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Carney: I have a copy of it, that is exactly what it says.
Mr. Morgan: That is all I have, thank you.
Mr. Carney: Zaida, do you have something else you want me to add? Ms. Karnegis: Nothing.
Mr. Carney: I need approval for the check register.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Ms. Karnegis with all in favor, the Check Register was approved.

Mr. Carney: Balance sheet and income statement, we need a motion to approve.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, the Balance Sheet and Income Statement were approved.

TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Mr. Carney: Supervisors requests, Lance? Mr. Morgan: Nothing more thank you.

Mr. Carney: Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Nothing more. Mr. Carney: Zaida?
Ms. Karnegis: Nothing.
Mr. Carney: Instead of adjournment let's move onto Jamie Baker. Julio?
Mr. Padilla: Do you see the invoice that was approved at the last meeting by the Board? We did not have an invoice we just wanted to show the Board the amount that they charged us $57,764.
Mr. Carney: Has everyone seen the copy of that? We had the contract agreement and then we tacked on Hidden Lake and that is the addition for CDI.
Mr. Padilla: We just received it three days ago so we will process it tomorrow. Mr. Morgan: Didn't we tack on Harbor Island also?
Mr. Carney: Harbor Island was already in there. Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Carney: The one thing they did on Harbor Island I don't know if you recall they decorated it, but they didn't do the fronds. Remember when they first put them up? They did not decorate the fronds. I looked at it and said this isn't right. Pat told Joe, he said listen, you guys are kind of in breach of contract because you didn't get this done on time. Do us this one favor and decorate those fronds. Pat had CDI do that at no charge. Otherwise, they would have been looked on as a stepchild over there. We don't get our fronds decorated and the whole District does. Anybody else have anything? Can we move on to Jamie Baker? Jamie, the way we started the process with the candidates was tell us a little bit about yourself and then we will get some questions from the Board.
Mr. Jamie Baker: I live in Harbor Island, the stepchild you referred to. I work very closely with Steve, I am the Vice President of the Board there. I am in private equity and I direct commercial real estate deals. I am also involved with SAG for my kids elementary school for academia. I am very passionate about the community. I have lived in Harbor Island for about five years. Originally, I lived in Weston with my wife and my kids. I think more than anything being a part of the community is something that is very important to me and I work very closely with Steve and our colleagues in terms of just the quality of the neighborhood. I want a safe neighborhood. Also, the landscaping, exterior, and

interior things are very important in maintaining the value of our properties and it is something I take very seriously. If I can make a contribution and be a part of the Board that would be great. That is pretty much it.
Mr. Carney: Thank you very much. Zaida will start with the questions. Ms. Karnegis: What motivated you to be on the Board?
Mr. Baker: A couple of reasons is that it is important to have someone represent from all areas and from being on the Board in our particular community I think I can add value in terms of the perspective of Harbor Island. We are all on the same team and I think when we all thrive and all the communities are working towards one goal it is better for the whole community. It is something that I have always been a part of being community involved with children, senior citizens, and veterans, it is really just who I am as a person.
Mr. Carney: Anything else Zaida? Ms. Karnegis: No.
Mr. Carney: Lance.
Mr. Morgan: Jamie you have been in Turtle Run for five years and what do you think of our community as a whole and what improvements do you think need to be made at this point for Turtle Run?
Mr. Baker: Great question. Turtle Run was the quality of the neighborhood, the schools in the District and Steve quite frankly when we moved from Weston it was really because of the quality of the neighborhood that attracted us there. My wife works in the medical profession and it was important for us to be in an environment where it was safe and we had access to retail and all the things that we do. W' hen I think about the improvements overall, I think everybody here has done a fantastic job. We have very few houses that go on sale. I think overall in all the communities combined and I think that significantly says a lot about the quality of the neighborhood and our ability for people to want to be there. I think it is just improving things overall. I am walking around the neighborhood with my wife and my kids. We do it a couple of nights a week. I think the landscaping, I think when a pole, unfortunately, gets knocked down that is the worst thing that I can say is usually done pretty diligently. I think we had an issue with the back wall.

It was a discolor, I think we got that resolved and I think that involved everyone here. Really it is not so much about what is wrong, it is just continuing to get better and improve. Mr. Morgan: I have been here in Turtle Run for over 30 years. As a new resident,
how did you like the roundabout when you first saw it?
Mr. Baker: It is beautiful. I know there have been issues, we talked about some of the challenges that have happened with that but I think it is an added touch to the community.
Mr. Morgan: Do you have young children?
Mr. Baker: We have four kids 16, 14, and 9 this past weekend. Mr. Morgan: Have you been up to Turtle Run Park?
Mr. Baker: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: What do you think of Turtle Run Park as a whole?
Mr. Bak r: We have probably gone to that like once. This is the park that has the one basketball pole?
Mr. Morgan: Yes.
Mr. Baker: We go there probably once every blue moon. The park that we mostly use is we usually go to, I can't think of the name of it but it is where they have the volleyball court with the sand so we really don't spend a lot of time and effort at that particular park.
Mr. Morgan: We have volleyball courts at our Turtle Run Park too. Are we talking about the same thing?
Mr. Baker: No, it is actually a little bit further down by the Junior High School.
Mr. Morgan: Ok. I just wanted to know if some of us might have kids here, but I just wanted to know because I think the Park is getting in a bad way. I am sure some of the other Board members do too. We have had meetings with the City and I thought when we had a meeting there last year Skip that the Assistant City Manager or one of the Assistants had said they were going to get the park updated last year and now it is pushed back to maybe this year. Do you recall that?
Mr. Carney: Pat, what are you hearing?
Mr. Szozda: I believe they said it was August or September of last year that they were going to move on that. Again, not to throw the City under the bus but it is not surprising that they are this far behind. I can talk to Sean and see where they stand.

Mr. Carney: It's like they continue to kick the can. Mr. Morgan: Thank you very much.
Mr. Baker: You're welcome.
Mr. Shipe: How do you feel about the District paying for individual HOA items in the community like we talked about such as landscaping or the Christmas lights? Do you feel that the COD should play a bigger role in that, or do you think the HOA should be responsible for their entrances with the Christmas lighting and the landscaping?
Mr. Baker: For us, we have been fortunate to have a pretty significant surplus. I think it is on an individual basis. I don't particularly think it should be upon the COD, I think it should be considered but I think overall I think there is a responsibility we have in our communities to have a surplus on certain items. I do think it adds an extra touch during the holidays when the lights are there throughout the entire community but for myself, my opinion, I think it is just based on financials. If there is a community that for whatever reason it may be something occurred that cost them to have a deficit, then I think collectively if it is a shared cost or assist, I am open to things of that nature. My biggest concern is obviously for the whole community to thrive and I think that is where I would put my focus in making a contribution.
Mr. Shipe: Ok thank you.
Mr. Carney: What role do you think you would play on the Board? What are your strengths?
Mr. Baker: I think when you think about strength I think my experience, I think everyone here is qualified. I think it is just adding value and being able to look at things through a different perspective. Not so much differently, but being someone that is very honest, truthful, and going to do the right thing in regards to making a tough decision and that is something that I have always done in my professional career as well as my personal life.
Mr. Carney: So, you are not afraid of any tough decisions? Mr. Baker: Not at all.
Mr. Carney: Ok those are all the questions I had. Thank you very much for joining us. We had a discussion right after the interviews took place earlier in the evening that some of the Board members want some more time to be able to make a decision. They

might make a call to someone, they may evaluate their notes, and then come back to the next meeting and decide who we are going to choose for this seat.
Mr. Baker: Thank you guys for having the opportunity. I had a late meeting tonight but still giving me the opportunity to come and talk with you about myself and answer any questions that you guys might have.
Mr. Morgan: Thank you.
Mr. Carney: I have one thing as a Supervisor request. I think we need to start thinking about a memorial for Dennis Baldis. Think about what we are going to do or come up with some ideas. We don't need to do it tonight but start thinking about it. Time has passed now, it has been a year and I think we need to do something. If everyone can give that some thought and then come back to me at the next meeting or the meeting after that with your ideas. That is something we need to do. Ok? I need a motion to adjourn.
