SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Replacing Current
Name of Lakes and Signs
Mr. Carney: Discussion of replacing current name of lakes and signs. Rob, do you want to speak on that?
Mr. Shipe: Right now we talked about it a little bit last week and we are just trying to determine whether these are official names of the lakes or if this is just something that the COD had done. So far in my investigation, there is no recognition of these lakes'

names by the Broward County Emergency Services. If you called and said I need help at Lake Mary Claire, nobody would know what that is. The only reason I bring that up is that if we do change the names it is not going to be something that needs to be changed regulatory-wise. Even if look at the plats that the COD has for the surveys, there is no mention of the lake names. They are just CF1 and things like that. What I am trying to work on is making nature trails using the signs to make two nature trails of the lake names, but I am still working on that. Thank you.
Mr. Carney: Rob was diagnosed with Covid so that is why he is not here. He planned on being here.
Mr. Morgan: I would like to address that. For the Board's information and the public's information and Rob's information, he may already know this, the lake bank signs were an idea from a previous Board that Skip I sat on, and it was for basically internal use only for our property managers and for the Board members and for people to identify issues so on and so forth. It was never meant to be logged into Broward County where if you said Lake Julia, that Broward County would have a map somewhere where there was a Lake Julia, and they would respond. We would use a numerical address in Turtle Run to be navigated for the police or the fire department to respond to certain locations for referenced emergencies. I don't know if we can log the lakes into Broward County or log them into Coral Springs, but they are logged with the City Charter or somewhere they were logged into the City somehow or we advised the City of it. I don't remember exactly what happened with that. It was mainly for internal use. The names were mainly for internal use for the property manager and the Board members to know what we were talking about and what area we were talking about. That is all.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don't know what the COD did in terms of official names or whatever. The resolution did give the manager the direction to go to the City to effectuate the name change. I imagine you changed the names with the City and the City didn't do anything with it. My recollection was Dennis Baldis was the District manager at the time and sent everything to the City but whatever happened with it from there I don't have any institutional knowledge. You could pursue that with the current names if the Board chooses to. I don't know if it is necessary or with a future rename process you could. Whatever you direct we will try to do it for you.

Mr. Carney: I think Rob does have a valid point. If someone is drowning on Lake Catherine or Lake Margaret and they say I am at Lake Margaret, no one is going to know where to find you. It is a valid point. No one is going to know the number of lakes.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Well nobody knows the numbers of the lakes now.
Mr. Carney: I know that. That is why I am saying if somebody is there and sees a sign that says Lake Margaret that is where I am. No one is going to say we know where that is.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It was my understanding this was all sent to officially rename the
lakes. So whatever the Board decides to do I think you should pursue that one way or the other, so the names are recognized somewhere.
Mr. Morgan: I don't know if they have to be over a certain amount of square
footage. Lake June or Lake Okeechobee, when you look at a map of the State of Florida it is Lake Okeechobee recognized by the State. It is a monstrous lake. I don't know how many square miles so when you tell somebody I am in Lake Okeechobee, what does that mean? It might be 100 miles by 100 miles. If you tell 911 I am in Lake Okeechobee they are going to need a little bit more information if you expect to survive that incident if you are drowning right now.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don't think the size of the lake matters, I think you need to get it
to the proper authorities. I don't know if that was done the first time in 2014 to identify them. I think from a purpose standpoint it would be a good idea to have those names of the lakes. Even if it is small, even on the intercoastal you have Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano. It is this little area that connects two canals, and it is called Lake Santa Barbara so if something happens the Coast Guard knows. I think even from a liability perspective not that we are liable for anything but to possibly save somebody. It is probably in the public interest to make sure those lake names are somewhere to identify them even if you are going to name them 1 through 12.
Mr. Carney: It hasn't been an issue in the past but who knows?
Mr. Pawelczyk: But now that you have the lake names I appreciate the concerns that have been brought up.
Ms. Karnegis: I agree with that. I think whatever decision we decide we should let the City be aware of it. I know with us in my work, we have to do an alarm test daily and

they need to know the location. The location doesn't matter about the size, at least they know that if they pull up what area we are seeing, not just somewhere in Turtle Run and no one knows. I think that is something wise for us to do.
Mr. Morgan: How would we go about Zaida making the City of Coral Springs adopt our names and identify them on their maps?
Ms. Karnegis: We need to look into that.
Mr. Morgan: We would notify the City and they would identify it on the City map somewhere. That would be possibly what we could do.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think we would pursue it Lance to see what we had to do. honestly have no idea how that is done. You think of properties like Turtle Run has a plat. You guys were developed many years ago and on that plat, there were certain things that are named like Turtle Run Boulevard, etc. Now we were able to change Tortoise Way somehow that made it on the maps. I think we would have to go through that same process and find out how to do that whether it is with the County or the City of Coral Springs.
Mr. Morgan: Rob, did you get any costs to change the signs?
Mr. Shipe: Patrick is supposed to have that information. It is $1,000 a sign to replace the broken ones. I think Patrick has it. It is about $600 to replace the sticker inside the sign.
Mr. Morgan: How many signs do we have?
Mr. Szozda: It is around 20.
Mr. Carney: Some have one, some have two. That is about right.
Mr. Shipe: My point being that I was going to try to present if I was there that the lake names that are not official, kind of took that out of play the renaming of lakes. I was a little more interested in the work I was trying to do to use the existing signs to make a nature trail. We talked about having a Lake Cooter or something which didn't sound very nice but if we use 10 signs on each side of Turtle Run along the Passive Park with information and maybe a QR code to Wikipedia about the different animals in Turtle Run that might be a better usage of those signs and poles then renaming of the lakes. We could name the lakes 1 through 12 or something if we needed to have a name on it.

Mr. Morgan: Ok, so 20 signs at $600 a piece is $12,000 of taxpayer's money to rename lake signs.
Mr. Shipe: Not really to rename the lakes but to make a nature trail that would
benefit all the children and people in the community.
Mr. Morgan: I can support a nature trail all day long. That would be a better use of the money. I don't mind your ideas of what you are talking about as far as making it educational for children or other people that are walking our trails. That is a great idea.
Mr. Shipe: Ok thank you.
Mr. Carney: Ok, staff reports.

Discussion of City of Coral Springs, Estates of Turtle Run HOA and Turtle Run CDD License Agreement for Installation and Maintenance of Brick Pavers in Designated Locations off Turtle Run Boulevard
Mr. Carney: Ok we have the engineer's report. Patrick, are you going to go through

Mr. Burgess: The flagpole should be delivered this week. Jonathan was

coordinating with 30 Paving to get the site remarked. He is coordinating getting the installation going. Once it is delivered we will have a better idea of everything moving on from there.
Mr. Carney: We have the No U-Turn signpost replacements.
Mr. Burgess: He said in his report it basically looks like the license agreement for the No U-Turn signpost installation did not make the September 13th commission agenda as he was told by City Engineering. It looks like the pole won't be delivered till the end of the year, so it doesn't affect the construction schedule for right now, but he is going to get more information on that. The Tortoise Way retaining wall, the contractor has some changes he wants in the agreement or just some questions. We are working with him on that and as soon as it is executed we will get started.
Mr. Morgan: How many No U-Turn signs are being installed? Mr. Winfree: I believe it was seven.

Mr. Carney: That is about right.
Mr. Burgess: I am not working with the Estates paver license agreement that is listed here.
Mr. Carney: Who wants to address that? Any comments from the Board?
Mr. Morgan: What are we doing? Just changing our agreement with the City Mike?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I have not been involved in any of this, but I can tell you what I think it is. What is in the package are proposed revisions to the current agreement that the District has with the HOA and the City. I am not sure who prepared these proposed changes because the Estates of Turtle Run HOA is trying to get a permit to replace all the pavers and do sidewalk improvements on each of the entrances. These would be the changes to that instrument. I have looked at it. I said the legal form of them is fine because they don't do anything substantive, but I think what is contemplated is if the Board moves forward with this, then the City would prepare a new agreement with these change? included, a new agreement I think.
Mr. Shipe: I think we need to hold off on going forward with any agreement with
the Estates of Turtle Run HOA as being a homeowner there is no Board right now. They are not complying with any of the rules for elections. I would hate to enter into an agreement with a de facto Board that is not properly vetted. I think we need to wait before we move forward.
Ms. Karnegis: I concur with that. On page 8 of 12, Section 13 and it talks about the
entire agreement, because this is going to be a change it does state that this agreement may only be amended by writing instruments signed by both City, to the commissioned District through its Board of Supervisors and the HOA through its Board of Directors. It may include other services only if directly related to the intent and scope of this agreement. So I agree with Rob we should hold off.
Mr. Carney: Barry, do you have anything to say? Mr. Winfree: No, sounds good to me.
Mr. Carney: Ok. I want to go back to an HOA meeting that we had in October 2022.
At the HOA meeting, it was brought up to repair or replace and it was up for discussion. I brought at that time a 20-page document from KCI stating that we did not need to replace it. It could be repaired. Lloyd Liss asked the Board of Directors to table it until the next

meeting so we could bring Jonathan Geiger with KCI to the meeting so he can explain the process of repair or replacement. The HOA has not had a meeting since. That meeting never took place to discuss it amongst the Board or the members of the HOA. The next time we know there is $160,000 in contracts being signed on the HOA's behalf without a meeting, without a vote, without a quorum. I stand with the rest of the Board members.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I just want to make sure there is no motion on that item. You don't need a motion; I am just asking. If not we can move on.
Mr. Carney: Ok.
C.	Field Manager - Annual Maintenance Plan
Mr. Szozda: Basically before Mike had left he put together an annual maintenance plan. Barry and I sat down and tweaked it. We did some removals of certain items and added some certain items. Barry did all the work on this by the way. I just gave some input. Then he broke it down into order as close as we could get. A lot of them are repetitive on here but it is a good handy guide to have if you want to know what is going on month to month out there. For example this month the tree trimming is underway. Then we are moving on in October with the pressure cleaning. We will start the holiday lights. I am just giving you the highlights of these. November we have mulching. The Christmas lights are going in. We will do a rotation of annuals. It is a good reference to have if you have any questions about what is going on month to month. It is pretty much broken down into black and white there. Barry, would you like to add anything?
Mr. Winfree: No not really. The only question I would have is when we present this I would assume that the last meeting is traditionally of the month to say what we did or didn't do that month and just highlight anything that needs to be changed on the next month. I could take that feedback if anything needs to change and go ahead and move it around. This looks like we have a pretty good plan here right now.
Mr. Szozda: Any input is welcomed also.
Mr. Carney: Pat thank you. Barry thank you for following up on that.
Mr. Morgan: I have something for Pat. I did notice today that they are doing the tree trimming. Have you made out a map or whatever so we can daily check their progress, or every other day check their progress because two years ago when Art was

here sections didn't get trimmed and they fell behind. Months later we went back to Art and said this area wasn't trimmed. He said yes they were and there was discussion about whether or not they were trimmed like the sables in the park. What have you done to identify the areas that are trimmed, and you follow up on them?
Mr. Szozda: There is a map right there. He just got that to me this afternoon. Patrick was gracious enough to pop it up on the Board there. I can get that to all the Board members. I just got it this afternoon.
Mr. Morgan: That is a great map and everything, but I am more concerned about the follow-up from you or Patrick to make sure that if they said they did Tortoise Way for example that Tortoise Way was done before they move on to the next section.
Mr. Szozda: I was out there at Creekside today. I was walking behind him. I will follow up daily on that.
Mr. Morgan: This way there will be no confusion at the end of the tree-trimming process if things weren't trimmed properly.
Mr. Szozda: We will eliminate the grey area for sure.
Mr. Morgan: Ok, thank you.
Mr. Winfree: Just one thing to follow up a little more on that. In Hidden Lake within the last month, we have had two major tree trunks wiped out almost. Actually, more branches that a couple of trees hit. When we had ours done, they weren't going up high enough. They are only twelve feet. The city calls for fourteen. If you look down Turtle Run Boulevard there is still a few low hangers there also.
Mr. Szozda: Yes it is fourteen feet over any sidewalk area. They are kind of limited per arborist codes how big they can trim and that is probably excessive.
Mr. Winfree: Now they are coming back. Waste Management has come back and said yours are only 11 feet, we are not responsible. Just a side note that they are holding to it. The City came in and said they are not 14 feet, so we are not going to help you with them.
Mr. Szozda: It is based on those large vehicles that go through there.
Mr. Winfree: What they are doing, and we are going to talk again to Waste Management is they have the loaders that go up and they are putting it in and bringing it down and they take off. Fourteen feet isn't going to clear that. That thing is about twenty

feet tall. We have to talk to them again. They are coming out tomorrow to talk to Julie about it and see what is going on. They can't keep doing that. We are not going to trim them twenty feet high.
Mr. Szozda: No.
Mr. Shipe: Pat, and we are also pressure washing the brick wall on the Target side, was that our people doing that? If they were it didn't seem like they were getting those very clean.
Mr. Burgess: That is Target.
Mr. Szozda: Target maintains that wall. Mr. Shipe: Ok. Thank you.
Mr. Carney: Pat, what else do you have?
Mr. Szozda: The painting of Wiles and 66th is underway. They started it Saturday and apparently; they got rained out. The trim is not done. I think they had to cut it short Saturday. It should be finished by the end of the week. The paver repairs in the park are scheduled for Wednesday so we will clear out that issue also. That is what I have.
Mr. Carney: Can you touch base real quick on some of the landscaping things we talked about at the last meeting if you wouldn't mind?
Mr. Szozda: In reference to?
Mr. Carney: Cumberland Farms and the Sylvester palms.
Mr. Szozda: First scheduled tomorrow is taking out the trees, and the sylvesters we have been trying to get done. Once that is done we will start removing the existing landscape we determine to be detrimental. Then we will get some renditions when we move forward on Wendys and the final one would be Cumberland Farms. He has already given me a rendition for there but that monument in particular has a little more work to do than some of them just because there is a lot of existing landscape that needs to be removed. I think we are all in agreement that we keep the green island ficus.
Mr. Carney: Make sure they don't accidentally remove it.
Mr. Szozda: Yes. I want this all wrapped up no later than the end of October so when the Christmas lights start getting in there is no conflict.
Mr. Carney: Ok. Julio?

1)	Discussion of New Meeting Schedule
2)	Turtle Run Boulevard and Sample Road Main Fountain Features
Mr. Padilla: It was discussed to change the schedule for the rest of fiscal year 2024 for the first meeting of the month which is on the second Monday of each month. Being that we are looking at other areas I suggest not doing that, and just doing it on a need-by-need basis. What I would suggest is to change maybe the next meeting, which is October 9th from the GMS location to since we have this secured to this building here. Is there no objection to this decision?
Mr. Pawelczyk: You are not adopting a meeting schedule?
Mr. Padilla: It was adopted already. My office, Jennifer wanted to make an update before she posted it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Alright.
Mr. Winfree: Does the schedule include where or just the dates? Mr. Pawelczyk: Where and when.
Mr. Carney: We are working on location. Coral Bay would be the same.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You adopted a previous schedule and then you are going to eventually change that once you figure it out.
Mr. Padilla: Yes once we have something more permanent. Skip found another
place we are going to look at which will cost less. We will look into that and bring it back to the Board.
Mr. Carney: The Chairman of the District from Coral Bay called me and apologized to me for having to charge us $100. He said that the other Board members, I said don't worry, we are ok with it. He did reach out to me. I thought that was good.
Mr. Winfree: Have we looked into the?
Mr. Carney: I have a couple of options. We are calling the City for sure. The City has a couple of different locations throughout the City. What do you have on the Turtle Run Boulevard and Sample Road main fountain features? Anything?
Mr. Padilla: Yes, special counsel revised the complaint based on the information he received from the Board of Supervisors. He is expected of filing it this week. When we have more information we will provide it to the Board.
Mr. Carney: A slow process huh? At least it is working. Mr. Padilla: Yes.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial  Reports  -  Financial
Report on Capital Projects, Emergency Funds, Capital Reserve and All Other Financial Issues
Mr. Carney: Zaida, do you want to talk about the finances and then we can answer the question?
Ms. Karnegis: The beginning balance as of 9-11-2023 is $629,187 minus the
expected cost to complete ongoing capital projects, engineering fees, and contingencies. The total capital reserve as of September 30, 2023 is $521,049. The additional two pages are just a breakdown.
Mr. Carney: Alex you had a question on finances. Let's get through the meeting and we can go from there.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS
Mr. Carney: Zaida, what do you have? Ms. Karnegis: Nothing.
Mr. Carney: Barry? Mr. Winfree: Nothing. Mr. Carney: Lance?

Supervisors Requests

Mr. Morgan: Pat we talked earlier in the week or late last week maybe about the main entrance fountain on the west side, the lower tier being filled with water.
Mr. Szozda: That was the east side. I just made a note of that when you started speaking. I will clear that up. Oh, it is the west side.
Mr. Morgan: Also it had been reported to me and I don't quite remember exactly, is Lake Hallie's fountain working?
Mr. Szozda: Yes. Somebody had switched that off, literally switched it off so we switched it back on and it popped right back on. We do have an issue. The light is out on

one of the lakes. There are a couple of issues that need to be cleared up by Hall Fountains, but we have addressed all of them.
Mr. Morgan: So the fountain is working there because I thought we replaced that not long ago.
Mr. Szozda: The pump yes, so there is no issue there.
Mr. Morgan: The main break that we talked about today that I told you I marked with a couple of sticks and stuff like that, were you able to rectify that?
Mr. Szozda: Yes. That should be taken care of. Mr. Morgan: That is all I have, thank you.
Mr. Carney: Alex you used a financial question. Do you want to ask the question
again?
Mr. Fernandez: How are the accounts doing? I know there were some concerns,
some rhetoric a few meetings back and the idea was to use a mutual account.
Mr. Carney: It actually came in at 5 point something percent, so it was a good number, the final number.
Mr. Fernandez: That is fantastic. I know in Florida we are a little higher than the national rate. I appreciate the COD not taking unnecessary risks, so I think it is a great job.
Mr. Carney: You will never get a rate to keep up with the rate of inflation, but I think we did pretty well. Sal, you weren't here when we had public comment. Do you guys have anything you want to share with us? No? Ok. Rob what do you have? I don't want to miss you this time.
Mr. Shipe: That is alright. Thank you I am good. Mr. Carney: Alright, a motion to adjourn.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned.
