Field Manager’s Report
Consideration of Proposal to Install “Beware of Alligator” Signs
Mr. Blanco stated that during the transition to the Field Manager’s report, a Supervisor asked whether all project permits had been transferred from the developer to the appropriate entities. Mr. Blanco responded that the question likely pertained to Water Management District permits and stated they believed the transfers had been completed. Mr. Blanco agreed to confirm and follow up with the Board by email.
Mr. Blanco reported that inspections had been conducted throughout the District. The new landscaping vendor had begun servicing both the North and South areas, and additional detailing of landscaping beds, particularly at the entrances, had been completed to address prior weed issues. Pond conditions had improved, with reduced vegetation and consistent service. It was also noted that fencing and a gate had been installed at the amenity’s main entrance.
Two action items were presented for Board consideration. The first was the installation of “Beware of Alligator” signs at 14 high-traffic ponds, primarily those adjacent to sidewalks and pedestrian areas. The second was a proposal to transition aquatic maintenance for 18 wet ponds from the developer to the CDD. The Board reviewed the aquatic maintenance proposal in relation to the budget and noted that the cost exceeded the budgeted line item and would impact contingency and general repairs and maintenance funds. Mr. Blanco explained that the proposal was consistent with the current scope of services and emphasized the vendor's quality, noting significant improvements in pond

conditions compared to prior service providers. One pond was identified as more challenging due to algae and duckweed, but staff stated the vendor was actively addressing it. The Board discussed the placement and number of alligator warning signs, including whether adjustments should be made based on pond length, proximity to sidewalks, and potential future use of adjacent open space. Mr. Blanco explained that the proposed locations were based on pedestrian traffic rather than the total number of ponds, and the Board agreed to relocate certain signs rather than add additional ones. The Board approved the installation of the alligator warning signs as adjusted and separately approved the aquatic maintenance proposal.

On MOTION by Mr. Terrill, seconded by Mr. Rosser, with all in favor, the Proposal to Install “Beware of Alligator” Signs, was approved.

Consideration of Proposal from Aquatic Weed Management for Pond Maintenance Services (to be provided under separate cover)
Mr. Blanco stated that District-wide reviews were completed, and the new landscaping vendor had already begun servicing both the north and south sides of the community. Additional detailing of landscaping beds was requested throughout the district, especially at entrances that had previously shown weed issues. Pond conditions had improved, with less vegetation observed and consistent servicing underway. At the amenity center, the fencing and main entrance gate had been installed. Two action items were brought forward for Board consideration: installing “Beware of Alligator” signs at 14 high-traffic ponds adjacent to sidewalks and transferring aquatic maintenance services for 18 wet ponds from the developer to the CDD. A question was raised about whether Water Management District permits had been transferred out of the developer’s name. Staff believed the transfers had been completed and agreed to confirm and follow up with the board by email. No further questions were asked.

On MOTION by Mr. Terrill, seconded by Mr. Rosser, with all in favor, the Proposal from Aquatic Weed Management for Pond Maintenance Services, was approved.

District Manager’s Report
Presentation of Funding Requests #27 through #28
Ms. Burns reviewed Funding Request #27 through #28. She noted that they were from the prior fiscal year. She added that she could answer any questions.

Secretary/Assistant Secretary

On MOTION by Mr. Rosser, seconded by Mr. Marc, with all in favor, Funding Requests #27 through #28, were ratified.

iii.  Balance Sheet & Income Statement
Ms. Burns stated that the financial statements were included in the agenda package for review, with no action required by the Board. She noted that she could answer any questions.
A question was raised about why undeveloped lots in the North and South had different O&M amounts. Ms. Burns explained that the difference was due to builder contracts that established different O&M funding levels for each section, not due to development status. They also noted that some undeveloped lots were billed directly rather than placed on the tax roll, and that deficit funding applied when builder caps limited the amount assessed, with the developer covering shortfalls as required. Ms. Burns confirmed that assessments were based on the status of the lots at the time the budget was adopted.
