SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of:
Turtle Run Website
District Rules
Lake/No Trespass Signs
Mid-Month Manager’s report
Mr. Winfree: The first one is the website. How are we going to run through that?
Mr. Burgess: We have a lot of outdated on here, so we want the Board to discuss what they want on here because a lot of it is not required by statute to be on the website and a lot of it would need to be updated if we want to continue that. We are going to start with projects for example. We have a lot of old projects on here. We can either look into continuing to update these with whatever projects are going on in the District or that tab can be removed.
Mr. Carney: I think projects are a good idea to put on the website provided they are updated.
Mr. Winfree: They appear to be quite old.
Mr. Carney: Will they be able to be updated is the question?
Mr. Burgess: Yes it just depends what the Board wants to be on there and what is considered a project? Updating it I just have to make sure GMS is going to do that with

their standard website rate. If we are going to continue to update constantly I just have to see if that is something that is cost effective.
Mr. Carney: It is not like we have a lot of projects going on now.
Mr. Shipe: I wouldn’t say things like the gutter cleaning needs to be on there. I think everything that is on there now can be deleted. Like Skip said we can keep the tab there for future items going forward.
Mr. Burgess: Ok.
Mr. Winfree: Maybe a before and after picture when we start a project and then here is the completion. After a certain amount of time they take them down. Is that reasonable?
Mr. Burgess: Ok, we can do that. We have services on here as well. We can either just reword this and update it and keep it on there. A lot of this really just needs to be updated with what we currently do.
Mr. Carney: Update it with the new park. The park is coming along. We should have the updated park on there. Landscape maintenance, the company is BrightView.
Mr. Winfree: Do you want to take it stab at it updating it and bring it back and see if we agree?
Mr. Carney: All the monument walls look great. They should be out there.
Mr. Burgess: If the Board wants to appoint someone to help me with it. We can post it and go from there or I will bring back a draft.
Mr. Winfree: Anybody want to volunteer for that?
Mr. Carney: Bring back and draft and we can make some suggestions. Mr. Burgess: I can do that.
Mr. Shipe: One of the first things we should do is make it more mobile device friendly. I think it is set up for laptops. I think nowadays they have where you can put the website into more of a mobile friendly device.
Mr. Carney: You are not getting a full screen I think what Rob is talking about. Is that something on the iPads?
Mr. Burgess: I know the accessibility button on the right top the handicap logo, it is ADA accessible but if it is not formatted correctly I can see what that issue is.
Mr. Shipe: I think it is more set up for a laptop and not a mobile device.

Mr. Carney: I don’t have that problem on my home computer, but I do have it on my iPad.
Mr. Burgess: I can check on that. I think that is everything with the tabs. The financials we add monthly financials which are not required but the budget and audit are put on there. If we want to continue having the financials added we can have the District accountant send them and make sure they are uploaded but it is not standard across the District websites. It is just something that was asked for in the past and there were some changes in our office with people retiring that just some things got overlooked because it is not routine across the Board. It is up the Board if you want monthly financials on there we can do that or we can remove that monthly financials.
Mr. Carney: It is public information we should have it on there. Mr. Winfree: I agree.
Mr. Carney: It is a little more convenient for our taxpayers to see if they want to look at it.
Mr. Burgess: Ok. We will look at those. The Board of Supervisors in the past you guys had professional photos taken. Do you guys want to? I guess the Board paid to have that done or pictures can be removed.
Mr. Winfree: My thought was it is not like an HOA, and you are local. This is more of the entire thing. Somebody might not know somebody from the Estates or from Hidden Lake. That is the only reason I thought it would be good idea like we have been doing and since we have new members.
Mr. Carney: What do other Districts do Patrick?
Mr. Burgess: None of them have pictures. The thing is if we are going to try to have it similar to other ones that are put up there we would have to get an updated frame or whatever that is. It could be up to each individual Board member whatever picture they want to have put up there. Otherwise, it is just the name, and all the information listed.
Mr. Shipe: The way that it is set up now I don’t think it needs to be that. I think we can each send a photo in if we want. We don’t have to get a professional photographer.
Mr. Burgess: It is up to you guys.

Mr. Shipe: I would say we leave the page as it is and if you would like your picture up there, so the neighbors know who they are then send it in and have it updated. I don’t think we need to get professional headshots.
Mr. Burgess: It is up to you guys. We can keep to each individual Board member and go from there.
Mr. Carney: Ok, that is good.
Mr. Burgess: I think that is everything for the website.
Mr. Winfree: We will go to the next one, which is the District rules that were sent out. That was pertaining to stormwater management areas which I guess we need to really define what that is. I will give you a little bit of history. Basically, what I did was I took Coral Bay and tweaked out the things that didn’t pertain to us, added a couple of other items, and this is what came out. There are a few things in here, Mike looked at it. I have a couple of questions. I left parks in there and the only reason I left parks in is because of the county park that butts up to that one lake. I don’t know if we need that in there or not. That is a judgement call I would think. Maybe that is a legal issue. I just left it there because they said parks and we have that one park next to the lake. I missed a couple of things like at the end where it says 4.5 and 4.11 that was the Coral Bay number so that will be scratched out and I missed the capitalization on District and Mike had suggested putting in properties at the end of number 3 that the person’s private property is strictly prohibited. That is the only changes that I made or saw after reviewing it. Is there anybody else that has anything else they want to add or take out. Is there something that we should add to it that I missed, or Coral Bay missed?
Mr. Carney: I think it would be good for the Board members that haven’t had a chance to read through it and spend time with it look through it and see if there are any changes you might want to make to it and bring it back to the next meeting to tighten it up.
Mr. Winfree: That is what we are asking for.
Mr. Carney: It looks good. There are some changes we could make to it.
Mr. Winfree: That is what we are looking for. We will take any suggestions and bring them back to the next meeting.

Mr. Shipe: What would be the implications if we said that there are no boats allowed in the lakes at all?
Mr. Winfree: As far as what?
Mr. Shipe: Motorized or unmotorized either one even if you are a landowner. If you don’t’ want people in your backyard walking down fishing they could be two feet off the shore fishing off their boat if that was the cause that somebody is in your backyard looking and that is one of the reasons that they don’t like. I am not saying that I am in favor of not having any boats at all, but I am just saying if you are trying to protect people’s privacy in the backyards.
Mr. Carney: We don’t have jurisdiction over the water. We only have jurisdiction on the property around the water.
Mr. Shipe: Ok because we do have some non-motorized boats in there. Mr. Carney: That is different. That is state water. It is part of the canals.
Mr. Burgess: Anything that you guys want to think about sending after this. This is not something that is going to be decided in the next month or two. It is going to take multiple meetings to talk about it. Then you have to set up a public hearing to adopt it. This is just the start of the discussion. Any suggestions we can compile and finalize it closer and then whatever legal questions there are going to be we can get those answered. This is not going to happen in the next two months.
Mr. Winfree: This is going to take a while.
Mr. Shipe: If we say from behind the fountain can someone put a canoe in or walk a canoe in?
Mr. Winfree: No.
Mr. Shipe: Skip said we don’t control the water so how does that work?
Mr. Winfree: Through the land to get to the water. You cannot launch anywhere except from your private property, your own private property. People can’t come from the public and launch anywhere. Launching off our CDD property is strictly prohibited. From what I have heard we don’t want anything on the lakes except for non-motorized and they have to be launched from your property so the only people that are going to have access are off of their own property. Any other questions before we let this one go out? Ok the next item is the No Trespassing signs. On the No Trespassing signs I know we have gone

back and forth a few times. You guys have come up with some, I added a couple. Do we have an updated map of what they would look like at this point?
Mr. Burgess: Yes. Basically, we were asked to get some additional signs. We have installed three signs in the past, the brown decorative posts to prevent people from walking in certain locations, behind homes to fish, etc. The yellow is where the current signs are, and the red is where we talked about as additional areas that are similar to the other areas that would prevent people from walking behind homes. This is a just a draft. If the Board is ok with it we can get pricing. We talked about it last year. I know Lance helped with that, but it is a decorative square post, brown sign, with a blue No Trespassing sign from the City of Coral Springs. Just adding more.
Mr. Carney: Does each Board member have this on their iPads now? Mr. Burgess: We can send it.
Mr. Winfree: This was just done last week so no one has it. Basically, the idea was just like Patrick said is to keep people from walking, anybody that doesn’t own the property up against the water, to keep them out of there. But where we do have the pavers off of Turtle Run Boulevard you can walk all the way down there. You can walk all the way down on those pavers from that area which is all open and paved land to walk on. You can’t go off that track and start walking down the FPL easement behind homes. The same thing on the other end. It is to keep people from walking behind Newport and half of the Estates. The same thing on the bottom side where you have the Grove and Harbor Island. It is to keep people from walking through those areas.
Mr. Burgess: We can get pricing and then we can send that to the Board.
Mr. Carney: I think the Board needs to not just look at it at the meeting but take the map, walk or drive around and see where they are going to be. I would like to drive through it and see.
Mr. Shipe: If a sign is put in does that help anything with enforcement other than just trying to discourage people?
Mr. Carney: Clarence would that help security the company that you have enforce
that.
Mr. Lohman: It should.

Mr. Carney: We don’t have enforcement, they can’t write citations, but they can ask people to leave. Then they can call Coral Springs if they refuse.
Mr. Winfree: As far as I know with Coral Springs they can come in and the first time they can ask them to leave, and it is just a verbal warning but after that they can actually give a citation.
Mr. Carney: At least it gives us something to enforce without any signs there is nothing to enforce.
Mr. Winfree: We did leave three open areas where the paths are, actually four, off of the fountain, off of Creekside between Turtle Run Boulevard and down to Turtle Creek coming up there. There are still places left for people that don’t have water access or frontage on the water to still go and fish. Can you send out a copy of this to the Board and then like Skip suggested how about we come back after everybody takes a look at it and see if there are more areas. The one area that I am a little nervous about is the one behind Newport. They have a big tree sitting there that you can walk on either side. I would hate to put another sign in there because the idea is to try to blend the signs as much as possible so that if you are going right there you will see it but otherwise just driving by you don’t see all the signs.
Mr. Burgess: We can send it to the Board and wait to see what you guys want. Mr. Winfree: Next meeting we will come back and everybody can add, subtract,
delete, make suggestions on what we want to do.
Mr. Burgess: Ok, it sounds good.
Mr. Winfree: The next item under discussion is at the last meeting Rob asked about how do we get something ahead of time. I gave a little bit of thought to that myself and I talked to Patrick about it, and I said what if we take the manager’s project report and updated that as a mid-month report like if anything new happened like the person who ran into a streetlight on Turtle Run Boulevard that we have to replace or anything that happened between our last meeting and two weeks in to give everybody an idea what might come up at the next meeting. Is that what you were looking for Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Yes. Like this KCI engineering report, I guess it is dated the 28th so I don’t know if it just came in. It was in the packet a couple of days ago.
Mr. Winfree: It just got updated.

Mr. Shipe: Ok, but stuff like that if it comes in.
Mr. Winfree: Like the survey is done, or here is the process for the pavers or anything like that, that we can put out that gives you a little more time to look at it.
Mr. Shipe: Stuff like this inspection report if they came we can look at it a little sooner. Anything that is going to be in the agenda if it comes in a week or ten days early we can see it.
Mr. Winfree: It would certainly help it would think. Any other suggestions? We are open for suggestions. If that doesn’t solve it we can always come back to it. We will try that first and see if that works. Do we need a motion for that or just start doing that?
Mr. Burgess: No. Just direction.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Winfree: Staff reports, anything from the attorney?
Mr. Cochran: I spoke to Mike. He didn’t have anything specific to report. Again, Scott Cochran I don’t know that I have met everyone, but it is good to see you all again. Mike as some of you probably know he has taken over some of the responsibilities that Dennis Lyles used to handle in our office with Dennis’s retirement. I am going to be assisting him some more with this District. He is still going to be very involved, and I will be helping him out with things. You will see some more of me, but he is still going to be very involved. If you have any questions every or need anything you are welcome to contact either of us, me or Mike.
Mr. Carney: I have a question for you Scott. Justin Ellis from the City of Coral Springs sent Mike an email based on the donation that we are making towards the restroom do you know anything about that?
Mr. Cochran: Yes, He had sent an email to Patrick. I was going to let Patrick handle it but since you brought it up we can talk about it now. Mike had talked with Mr. Ellis about it. He said that the particular language that we had proposed wasn’t possible and the city’s purchasing regulations and what he proposed doing was amending a portion of the agreement in Section 2 to state that the city’s donation of $30,000 would be provided before October 1, 2025, and the city would commit to completing the work by January 31, 2026. If that is acceptable to the Board we would just want you all to confirm that it is

acceptable and then we can coordinate with Mr. Ellis and the city attorney’s office to make the revisions.
Mr. Carney: He also said that the contractor said more than likely it will be done before the end of the calendar year. Since they do everything on donations they have to have the money before they can start the process, and they are going to start the process on October 1st from what I understand.
Mr. Winfree: Do you have a copy of what the verbiage was, or can you display what the verbiage is?
Mr. Burgess: As long as the Board agrees to the changes.
Mr. Winfree: Remember last time Mike sent something out that we proposed and this is what they countered with. I think it kind of solves what we were concerned about.
Mr. Carney: I think it is fine.
Mr. Winfree: I agree. It is what we wanted. We wanted something that kind of confirmed that they were going to spend it within a reasonable amount of time.
Mr. Cochran: I think we have Board consensus, but Mike suggested if that was agreeable to the Board you could make a motion to authorize execution of the agreement in revised form subject to final legal review by Mike.
Mr. Winfree: Sounds good to me, so moved.

On MOTION by Mr. Winfree seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, authorization to execute the Park bathroom donation agreement in revised form subject to final legal review by Michael Pawelczyk was approved.

Mr. Winfree: Anything else Scott?
Mr. Cochran: Yes, sir unless anyone has any questions or anything else that they would like to discuss.
Mr. Carney: Welcome back. Mr. Cochran: Thank you.
Engineer
Engineer’s Project Report
Terrapin Ln Paver Area DRC Plans
Mr. Winfree: The engineer’s report, are you going to run through that Patrick?

Mr. Burgess: It is in the packet, if you guys have questions, it is very detailed. I can go through every line item or just specific questions.
Mr. Shipe: What is the off-web survey?
Mr. Burgess: I am not sure but about this update he just basically KCI just needs approval of the $3,500 for survey work and that is the minimum survey work that is requiring for this small project. Apparently the city may require something a little more extensive. He is just trying to figure out if that is needed or not.
Mr. Winfree: Is that for the pavers we are talking about?
Mr. Burgess: Yes Terrapin Lane pavers. $3,500 is what management is authorized to approve but If the Board doesn’t have any issues with that he can start the process working with the city and DRC to see what they required. Jonathan just needs the approval of $3,500 to start the survey work and if he needs additional survey he will come back to us. This kind of starts the process with the city and DRC.
Mr. Winfree: Do we actually approve that to go forward? Weren’t we looking for a proposal at this point or an estimate?
Mr. Burgess: He needs to know what the city requires in order to get an estimate.
Mr. Carney: Can we get an idea what the cost is going to be before we start spending $3,500?
Mr. Burgess: The city is going to require certain requirements, and they need to start the project with a survey.
Mr. Carney: Jonathan should be able to give a cost. We know their cost is $3,500. What is the construction cost going to be a roundabout cost, so we have an idea where we are heading with this? I think that is the question we can ask right now.
Mr. Winfree: Before we approve the $3,500. A ballpark of something before we just go and spend.
Mr. Burguess: You have authorized the three designs.
Mr. Winfree: Yes we picked the design, but we figured a final estimate would come back to see whether we actually move forward with the project.
Mr. Carney: He should be able to give us a ballpark figure. Mr. Winfree: We are not going to hold him to it.
Mr. Carney: If it is going to be $20,000 or higher than $20,000 we need to find out.

Mr. Winfree: Yes, before we spend $3,500.
Mr. Burgess: We can ask him for that and see what he can bring back.
Mr. Winfree: Everybody agree with that? Ok. From what I understand the surveying is done and they are going through the work of pulling that all together for what work needs to be done with the lakes. The survey of all the lakes is done is that true?
Mr. Burgess: Yes. I believe they are done, and they are completing the office side. Mr. Winfree: They are compiling all what needs to be done next?
Mr. Burgess: Yes. He doesn’t have any update at this time.
Mr. Szozda: They were out there today actually doing some additional surveying.
I don’t think it is completely wrapped but they are close.
Mr. Burgess: There were corrective measures are needed for phases 1 and 2 to be discussed at the August and September meetings. I think the majority of it is done but there are a few things that they are still doing.
Mr. Winfree: We are still on track now with the fix on Avana that is now going to start at the middle of the month for August, which is scheduled?
Mr. Burgess: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: That would be one of the items that is in there where we are able to actually start that which would be a good item to put on the progress report. I think it is already on there, it is just a matter of an update.
Mr. Burgess: Are we still talking about the engineers’ report or the progress report?
Mr. Winfree: It kind of mixes in. I guess we are done then with the engineering report if that is the two items we have on there right?
Mr. Burgess: Yes. I can go through each line item but that would take a little bit.
Mr. Winfree: Do we want to go through each one or wait for Jonathan to give us a further update at the next meeting? I think we are better off just waiting for Jonathan at the next meeting.
Mr. Burgess: A majority of KCI’s work is at the lake bank and that work. He is on top of the other stuff but a lot of that is being done by field and me, so this is just informational. If you have any questions I can ask him.
Mr. Winfree: I think we are good there, but I would like to have him here at the next meeting because by then we should have compiled everything that we know about the

lakes. We should have started the one at Avana, there should have been a lot of progress before the next meeting.
Mr. Burgess: We will get to those items in the progress report. He should be here at the next meeting.
Mr. Winfree: Any other questions about the engineering report? Mr. Shipe: No.
Mr. Burgess: Southeast Land management start this Friday, August 1st. We met with them. They understand all the areas and see tons of areas of concern that they are going to be on top of and should get that all back in order. Their rust control company installed their tank and are just setting up a meeting with the city to make sure their sprinklers aren’t directly spraying any of the new equipment. Any area that we need cleaned they can clean the current rust. We have already met with them, and things are moving along.
Mr. Winfree: Any idea from the water guys how long it will take them to get us back into shape?
Mr. Burgess: They will have a big crew when they come here. They will have a side by side in a boat and people backpacking it, but it is not just going to be one person like it has been. They are aware. Certain areas they spray are going to turn brown and be noticeable, but it is a lot of area to cover. I would say within two months.
Mr. Winfree: So, we will track that in the progress report and see where we are at that time.
Mr. Szozda: We have had one person with no boat, so we are making tremendous strides.
Field Manager
Annual Maintenance Plan
Industrial Divers Annual Inspection Report
Industrial Divers Repair Proposal
Mr. Szozda: We did rotate the annuals, coleus, they look great. They usually do. The maintenance on the irrigation pumps has been completed by Hoover. The fountains have also been maintenance. That is taken care of. We did install plumbago’s as Rob pointed out along the wall between 43rd and the school. They are blooming already. That only took a few days. They look great over there. I think that is going to be a really good

addition. The next thing I have is the tree trimming. I think everybody has that in front of them. We have a proposal for the basic trimming for $34,900. To give you a little perspective two years ago we paid $37,400 for the trimming. Then Dan came on board last year and it was $32,400. There is an additional bump that they are requesting for
$34,900. On top of that I met with Dan last week and we took a couple of hours and drove the entire property. He came up with an additional proposal for additional work. The main part of the work, which is the $10,208 we have a bunch of trees that are dead along the Target lake there. I was given them time, I was hoping they would have rallied but there are 8 trees that need to be removed down there. On top of that if you are looking at the $10,208 the additional work there is an oak tree that we have never serviced off Wiles Road over there that is in dire need of being raised. There are trees along Tortoise, two of them that I have specified have branches that could be detrimental to the apartments and to the sidewalk there. We marked seven oak trees that have additional limbs hanging over people’s houses. That is kind of a must to clear those things up. There are hardwoods behind the monument signs on Turtle Run where the monuments that are growing from the preserve that need to be cut back also. In Lowe’s parking lot we have trees from our easement that have grown into the parking lot which could become a hazard that needs to be cut back. Then the removal of the dead trees around the lake and the stump grind. This is all additional work for the amount he is requesting I think is very reasonable. He has been fair with us, so I am looking to get that approved along with the $34,900 for the standard tree trimming.
Mr. Carney: How much of the $10,000 is a one-time deal?
Mr. Szozda: All of it theoretically. Cutting limbs over the houses will be monitored. Mr. Carney: That $10,000 is not something that is going to be reoccurring?
Mr. Szozda: No, none of this should be reoccurring.
Mr. Carney: The price is $34,000. We have $39,000 in the budget so we are already halfway there.
Mr. Szozda: It is $45,108.20.
Mr. Carney: Sounds good to me.
Mr. Winfree: Right. You are only talking about an extra $5,000 over what we have already budgeted for the same thing.

Mr. Szozda: It is stuff that needs to be dealt with.
Mr. Winfree: It hasn’t been done in a while. It should have been done. WE probably would have less work and fit within our budget if we had kept up.
Mr. Szozda: This should be a one-time deal for most of this.

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, a proposal in the amount of $34,900 for the standard tree trimming and an additional $10,208.20 for additional tree work needed was approved.

Mr. Szozda: I will touch on one other thing really quick. The flagpoles can we give them an update on that?
Mr. Carney: You took the lights down Pat, which is good.
Mr. Burgess: Let’s do the diver report and come back to that. Industrial Divers did their annual inspection. That is provided in there. There are a lot of pages. I tried to condense it for you guys so you can read it. There are just a few areas that we need repairs done and that is page 70 of the package. One issue that we are still working on is a boring company bored into a culvert under Sample Road. I reached out to a few people, and I am just waiting for a return call because they should be paying for the repair. That is listed in there. That is #1 on the repair proposal. We are trying to figure out who the company is so that we can coordinate with them to pay for the repairs. The city said they will help us if needed. We may have to go that route because I am not getting returned calls, but it is a fiber optic line that we can’t just cut because we don’t know what it runs to. That is site #1. Site #5 is two small holes. The proposal is a total of $16,200 for Industrial divers to do the repairs. There are a few areas that we need to contact a Vac— Truck, site #12 and that is the pipes that connect lake 2 and lake 5 and then the city does the catch basins. I already talked to the city. They are aware that they didn’t do the catch basins. I think next week they said they can do them and then we just have to have a Vac-Truck come and clear the pipes. We are working on that. That will be additional. We are still working on the other item but everything that they proposed from Industrial Divers is $16,200.
Mr. Shipe: You are saying that site #15 the city will come in and dig that out?

Mr. Burgess: Site #12 is underneath Turtle Run Boulevard, and we need to clean the drains. The city cleans the catch basins. It shouldn’t be an expensive amount. We have a company called Raptor Vac that we use. They are always great pricing, and they are easy to work with. We will get a price on that, but I don’t see that being more than
$2,500.
Site #15 is not our responsibility. Site #15 is this lake over here which is owned by PetSmart, whoever owns PetSmart some LLC they own this area. We are sending them notice that it is recommended that they clean that outfall, but it is not the District’s responsibility. It is not our property. That will actually be a reduction of $6,320 to the total. It will be a total of $9,880 for the work that Industrial Divers can do at this time. I believe they are going to be able to do the work after the boring issue is resolved. We can always wait until they figure that out for them to start any additional work and whatever that cost is we can bring that back to you guys but initially it is $9,880 for them to do the work that they proposed.
Mr. Carney: For the most part they do a small amount of work every year to keep us updated so I think we need to do it.
Mr. Winfree: Do we have any of this in our budget?
Mr. Carney: There is $15,000 in our budget. They clean out the pipes pretty much every year. If it gets over 12 inches they clean it out and if it is below 12 they leave it alone.
Mr. Winfree: Ok so we need a motion at this point but our portion of it should be covered by our budget.
Mr. Burgess: I think you should approve it with removing site #15 from the cost.

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, a proposal in the amount of $9,880 with Industrial Divers for stormwater drain repairs with site #15 removed was approved.

Mr. Winfree: Anything else Pat? Mr. Szozda: No, sir.

Mr. Shipe: Pat, the FPL easement on the west side of the property those lakes is that controlled by us at all?
Mr. Szozda: Yes pretty much all of them.
Mr. Winfree: There are two that we don’t do. The one that belongs to PetSmart. I can’t remember what the other one was.
Mr. Szozda: Yes that is on 441 but the rest of them we maintenance all of them. Mr. Shipe: One south there needs to be mowed it is getting a couple feet high out

there.

Mr. Burgess: Which lake?
Mr. Shipe was inaudible at this time.
Mr. Szozda: The city does that.
Mr. Winfree: We can certainly advise them of that.

Progress Report
Margate Police Department – Special Duty Detail Request Rate Increase
Update on Fiscal Year 26 Meeting Schedule
Christmas Designers Amendment
Mr. Burgess: On the progress report we talked about the bathroom renovations

already so #1 and #2 are covered. The Turtle Run Boulevard and NW 43rd St. light pole damage that was removed on Saturday. A new pole is being ordered by KCI. We were able to put the light fixtures from that pole into the pole that was hit across from Lowe’s. The goal is to get both replaced because with that one at Lowe’s being hit, it still has some cracks in it, we would not like to have any issues with it but as of now it is standing fine, and it is lit. It doesn’t have the cage around it like all the other lights because the one was broken. They removed the cages, but the lights work on it. That happened on Saturday. We are not going to be able to have any insurance from the cars that hit is. There was no footage, so the police weren’t able to find anything. We just need to pay our deductible, and we will get a new pole. I think it is $2,500. We will get to work on that and hopefully they will come in faster than a year.
Mr. Winfree: DO you have how much it cost to take the one out and put the top on the broken one?

Mr. Burgess: It was a little more than $2,000. We used Horsepower in the past and they were quoting us $5,000 so this company that did it was a lot cheaper. I have used them before.
Mr. Winfree: It looks like they did a good job too.
Mr. Burgess: The lank bank repair between Avana Apartments and Harbor Island we have a preconstruction meeting next Tuesday, August 5th. They should be starting the following week. We are just trying to coordinate with them and the apartment in case there are certain areas that need to be closed off and any staging needs to be done. I will give you updates on that when I send the monthly report. The other stuff was covered with Jonathan. I don’t know Skip if you have any park updates?
Mr. Carney: They are still not sure how they are going to handle the basketball courts. They may resurface what is there. Originally what they wanted to do was they wanted to relocate it over closer to the school. It looks like they may be resurfacing it. The pavilion, which is 20 x 40, which is twice the size that we used to have they are still working on a location for that, and they are trying to figure out what they are going to do with the basketball courts. That is still up in the air. I guess that is about it. Oh yeah, they put a new fence around the playground which was surprising to me. They fought on many fronts that they didn’t want to put a fence around it but now they have a fence around it. They have a patrol to keep the kids from taking over the playsets and swings. There is a patrol that works for the city not the Coral Springs Police Department. I can’t remember the name he used but we can give them a call at any time, and they will come over and start patrolling our park for us to keep the older children off of the playset. To keep the older children off the play set. Now at least they have a gate they can close the gate and keep it controlled. Irrigation that was in that green space over there. Pat, who was your contact over there?
Mr. Szozda: Danny is the irrigation guy. There is irrigation pretty much throughout that park.
Mr. Carney: There wasn’t irrigation there for years, but they put new heads in there so that the whole area over there that green space should be green now, which is good. That is pretty it. The tennis courts and pickle ball courts are on track to be done before the end of the year. The fence around that may not be replaced. The fence, although a

little rusty is still in pretty good shape. It is not falling down or anything. They would like to maintain it if possible. The city when they are all said and down is going to put about
$900,000 into the park. It is a good amount of money. They are still working on it. That is all I have. Thanks for asking.
Mr. Burgess: We are still working on number #10 the lake floating devices and we will have an update by the next meeting.
Mr. Winfree: The guys we are bringing in to maintain the lakes now can’t they add that to theirs and anything that is out there take it with them.
Mr. Szozda: The problem was the last group didn’t have a boat, so we had no way to enforce the removing of the floatation devices anyways. Now that we have somebody with a boat we can enforce.
Mr. Winfree: Shouldn’t that be part of the normal process now?
Mr. Carney: It is going to take more than just removing it because remember you are dealing with somebody’s irrigation system. Just to take them off now their grass isn’t going to get watered. Their grass is going to die.
Mr. Winfree: That will stay it is the floating thing.
Mr. Carney: It won’t stay if it is not floating it is underground it is not getting any water anymore. I think what you are going to need to do is contact each homeowner that has a floating device in the lake to let them know they need to remove it.
Mr. Szozda: There is a handful.
Mr. Carney: It is a small amount; you need to knock on their door and let them know what they need to do. Just to do it and then all of a sudden they are wondering why it is dead. I think we want to get out in front of that before we have an issue with it. That is just my opinion.
Mr. Burgess: The two flagpoles should be installed within the next week or so. The NOC was signed today. The city provided the permit card and everything. There were some issues with the permit application, and everything has been straightened out now and they are ready to install the poles. We just need to have the MOT crew scheduled and make sure the inspectors are all on the same page. It should be done I would say within the next week or two. I will get an update on that once I have it. We did hear back from the insurance on that, and the third-party contribution was $10,214.28 so it was

applied to the overall loss. He just confirmed that the deductible has been waived and the payment for the remaining amount of $15,785.62 will be issued in order to make the District whole so as long as the Board is ok with us executing the letter and release from United Auto then we can get that done and get payment issued for the flagpole damage. That was emailed to me just this past weekend. That is just a quick update.
Mr. Winfree: Scott is there any reason why because this one was more of a release of anything further right? One was a payment, and the other was the actual insurance company indemnifying them of any future.
Mr. Cochran: Has Mike seen this document?
Mr. Burgess: No. I forwarded it over to you guys.
Mr. Cochran: I wouldn’t want to comment on it without seeing it, but it is pretty standard.
Mr. Winfree: How about if we bring this one back? For the insurance I can understand that but the other part I think it is a two-part isn’t it? Isn’t it their insurance company and ours both? Maybe I didn’t understand it.
Mr. Burgess: The third party offered the District $10,250 potentially and that goes towards their amount and then we don’t have to pay the deductible.
Mr. Winfree: Right, I understand the deductible but what I am worried about more is if I remember correctly most of the time when you settle for this you are done with it. There is no future, no nothing.
Mr. Cochran: Usually, they require you to release the insurance company and their insureds from any further claim.
Mr. Winfree: I just want to make sure that is agreeable that we are ok there too.
The money part sounds great. I just want to make sure the other part is there.
Mr. Cochran: You could do it either way. You could approve it subject to legal review and if we have an issue we can bring it back next month or you can just have us look at it and revisit it again next month. It just depends on how soon you want to get paid.
Mr. Winfree: What do you want to do?
Mr. Burgess: I think as long as there is legal review and there are no issues with it. Mr. Winfree: What is the motion then?

Mr. Cochran: I think it would be a motion to authorize the execution of the release documents for the payment of whatever that amount was subject to legal review.

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, a motion authorizing the execution of the release documents subject to legal review for the flagpole payment was approved.

Mr. Burgess: The last thing the Wiles Road and Creekside Drive the pedestrian signpost that was knocked down with depreciation offered by the third-party insurance the District would basically be responsible for $976.61 because they added depreciation to it. We are not going to get paid in full for it. We still don’t have the pole, but I need the Board’s direction if we are going to accept that.
Mr. Winfree: Have we exhausted all opportunities?
Mr. Burgess: The insurance company said we are not obligated to accept it. The Board’s direction in the past was to get the poles repaired and then work on insurance down the road. That is what we are doing but this is the most recent update that it would be $976.61 out of pocket.
Mr. Winfree: What do we think? It is what we have done in the past. Does anybody have any issues or concerns or questions? Do we need a motion to accept it?
Mr. Burgess: Direction is fine.
Mr. Winfree: I say we go for it. Just take the $976.61. We are still looking at October for that.
Mr. Burgess: Yes. There are no updates provided on the main entrance fountain repairs. Everything is on hold with #14.
Mr. Shipe: Patrick the Margate police detail I don’t know if that is a change. Are we considered an HOA in the pricing in that?
Mr. Burgess: Yes. There are a few items in there that Mike wanted to point out that we can discuss. We would pay that holiday/high-demand rate. That is what they are increasing. I think it was only about $6.00 from last year. They mentioned to me that the price goes into effect on August 9th so I told them we would put it on the agenda and have

the Board approve it or not. You guys approved essentially the same document with some minor grammatical errors that we can change but it was approved last year.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. Does this really impact us since we don’t really fit into those time frames?
Mr. Burgess: You pay the Supervisors.
Mr. Shipe: We are considered an HOA for the regular meetings. Mr. Winfree: Ok, I did not see that.
Mr. Burgess: I think that was just an error. That was sent to Coral Bay and Turtle Run since we use it. I am sure that was just something they overlooked. We can clear up the grammatical mistakes as long as the Board approves it and get it executed.
Mr. Winfree: Any other questions? Can I get a motion to approve it?

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, the Margate Police Department Special Duty Detail Request for Rate Increase was approved.

Mr. Burgess: Moving forward we had two issues with Coral Bay not being available on December 15th and May 18th. You could use the GMS office for those two days. December is a little iffy because in the past we have cancelled with getting close to Christmas and people traveling. It is up to the Board, but GMS is going to be no additional cost to the District to use. We just had to bring this back before it gets advertised and sent out.
Mr. Carney: Just to go back just to touch base on the May 18th meeting. We can go to June 1st for that meeting. Is this available on June 1st?
Mr. Burgess: We are not getting a lot of people but people that do come they like being close.
Mr. Burgess: I have to double-check. This is just something we talked about. I didn’t ask him about June.
Mr. Carney: We will have two meetings in June, but they are still four weeks away from each other.
Mr. Winfree: My suggestion would be to check into that and see if we can do that date and if not we leave at GMS and if we don’t need the meetings we can cancel it.

Check on the June 1st for here and if that is not possible leave that for GMS and if we get there and we don’t need those two meetings we will cancel.
Mr. Burgess: Ok, I understand that for the May 18th but what about December 15th. Mr. Winfree: Same thing, right?
Mr. Carney: Well, we said it was challenging because of the New Year plus Mr.
Carney was inaudible at this time.
Mr. Winfree: Most of the time we don’t have a December one. Right now, we will say GMS if something comes up if we need it. Everybody agrees with that. Any further discussion? I don’t think we need a motion on that.
Mr. Cochran: You usually do a motion to authorize the advertisement for the meetings.
Mr. Winfree: We haven’t done anything on this yet?
Mr. Burgess: We approved it, but it hasn’t been advertised yet.
Mr. Cochran: If you already approved it by motion and you are just making a change then I think Board direction is sufficient.
Mr. Winfree: Ok.
Mr. Burgess: We added the Christmas Designers Amendment back. The changes were made on there but there was no cost change which was in the original document that you guys approved this two months ago. We just wanted to bring it back for approval since we had changed some of the documents. As long as there are no issues being provided to you and everything that has changed for the removal and installation and all those dates we just need a motion to approve this.
Mr. Carney: The amended agreement that we had we never pursued that. This one was November 2024 it was written by Mike. Have we ever exercised this one?
Mr. Winfree: We did one after that.
Mr. Carney: It doesn’t get into the dates as much. Mr. Winfree: That is what the change was for.
Mr. Burgess: This is the first amendment to that.
Mr. Carney: This would encompass the three-year deal that we have with them from 2025 through 2027, correct?

Mr. Burgess: Yes. That is not changing so we didn’t include that. We brought back the changes of just the dates on removal and installation.
Mr. Winfree: This is just locking in those dates. Any further discussion?
Mr. Shipe: For my own information why it is January 6th, January 10th, January 4th. Why isn’t it? It will be installed between the 4th and 6th. Why were the dates set up that way? Is there a reason?
Mr. Winfree: Yes.
Mr. Carney: We said we would like to have it done by that Friday. Mr. Shipe: Ok. I got you.
Mr. Winfree: Then when they have to be turned off by. We good on this? Can I get a motion to adopt this?

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, the Christmas Designers Amendment was approved.

Mr. Winfree: Do you have anything else Patrick? Mr. Burgess: That is all.
EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
Approval of Check Register
Acceptance of Unaudited Financials
Mr. Winfree: Financial reports. Approval of the check register? Any questions?

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

Mr. Winfree: Acceptance of the unaudited financials does anybody have any concerns or questions? That one doesn’t need a motion.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comments Mr. Winfree: Public comments. Clarence do you have anything? Mr. Lohman: No.

Mr. Winfree: Chris do you have anything?
Mr. Kapish: Yes I want to go back to last month when Ginny here was at the meeting. When did you get the call from Skip Carney to come to the meeting?
Ms. Tropea: Call? I didn’t get a call.
Mr. Winfree: You don’t have to answer that.
Mr. Kapish: Ok. You just happened to show up and it all happened by magic. What happens is it is a Sunshine law violation just to let you know. What happens is this is common here especially with Skip Carney and he has already gone through that.
Mr. Carney: This is public comment it is not a question and answer, right?
Mr. Kapish: What happens is he gets people so when a complaint is made with the state attorney, they investigate things like this.
Ms. Tropea: I don’t understand.
Mr. Kapish: If you are familiar with the Sunshine laws. Ms. Tropea: I am familiar with the Sunshine laws.
Mr. Kapish: This was orchestrated. People know that. They are not stupid. Let me ask you something else too. When you are up there you act like you were completely bored. You still do. When you vote, when you take the oath of an office these people are political figures and when you get into that realm of things there is supposed to be some kind of order of respect so standing for the oath and stuff like that is disrespectful. I don’t know if it is a class issue or whatever because I have people saying up here on the Board they look like they got off a boat. Every meeting they wear shorts and stuff like this. It is just a matter of having some self-respect and you’re sitting here on the phone the whole meeting like you could care less like you’re not interested in the meeting. That is ok. That is fine. If you’re not interested you should get off the Board and get somebody else.
Ms. Tropea: I appreciate your comments.
Mr. Kapish: The projects that you guys talk about, those projects weren’t even built by any of these people on the Board. Skip voted against them all. Why you guys take credit, and you give the impression that you have done all this work that you have not. Photos for the Board members they need pictures because people want to know who is responsible for the decline of Turtle Run. I think it looks much more professional, and we did it for many years. That is what you should do but I guess if you want to run away from

what you are doing that is fine. Boats in the lakes, boats are not allowed in the lakes. They haven’t been allowed in the lakes since the beginning of the District. The reason is people ride around in boats, and they go up to the fountains. We pay thousands of taxpayers’ dollars to have the fountains in the lake. They destroy the fountains and that is the reason why you are not allowed to boat in the lake. There is not one property owner that has any property adjacent to a lake. You have to go through a CDD easement which we all pay for. Nobody has access to a lake.
Mr. Burgess: Your three minutes are up. If you would respect that I would really appreciate that. Chris your three minutes are up so we are going to move on.
Mr. Kapish: When I am finished. Mr. Winfree: We heard you Chris.
Mr. Kapish: Ok you don’t want to hear anything more, no problem.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Mr. Burgess: Any Supervisor requests?
Mr. Carney: I have something. Lance Morgan, has that been turned in so we can turn it over to Ginny?
Mr. Burgess: No, I have sent two emails to him. I will follow up with him about that. Mr. Carney: Over by Creekside and Turtle Run Boulevard there is a black piece of plastic going over the top for the pavers. It is Comcast wire. I think it has been there for some time. The wire runs from that box on the corner all the way to the entrance of Hidden Lake on top of the ground. I think we need to take corrective action for that because that
is trip hazard there.
Mr. Szozda: Julia took the lead on that actually and she contacted Comcast because we had brought it to their attention. It has been there for two months.
Mr. Carney: But it is still there.
Mr. Szozda: What did they say? A week?
Mr. Winfree: They said a week to two weeks it should be out of there. Mr. Szozda: We followed up.
Mr. Winfree: Julia and him had a meeting. Mr. Szozda: It has been way too long.

Mr. Winfree: It is a joke. Then they got mad when we wrote them up.
Mr. Carney: It looks like wires on top of the ground. It needs to be buried.
Mr. Szozda: AT&T was there, and they managed to get their cables buried but we are still waiting on Comcast.
Mr. Carney: That is all I have thank you. Mr. Winfree: Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Nothing, thank you. Mr. Winfree: You good, Ginny? Ms. Tropea: I am good.
Mr. Winfree: I am good also. Anything else from anybody before I ask for a motion to adjourn the meeting.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Carney with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned.

Assistant Secretary/Secretary	Chairman/Vice Chairman
