OLD BUSINESS
Update on Fall 2024 Lake Bank Remediation

It was noted that the contract had been finalized and was sent to Earthtech for execution with an anticipated start date of sometime in February. The Bid bond will be approximately 1.5%, which will be paid for using the owner’s allowance. Mr. Tryka confirmed that dewatering was factored into the bid. The anticipated time for completion is 4-6 months. The Board requested to have the District Engineer request an anticipated schedule from Earthtech, making the District aware of the order the lakes will be repaired. This is with the

understanding that this is subject to change based on staffing, equipment or other items that could affect the order of the work.

Mr. Tryka compiled a list of 29 addresses that will have work being done. The 17 sites often boarder two lots causing this list to be greater than 17. Ms. Willson is drafting a letter to notify the residents on the list. Chairperson Powell will create an update for the community that the HOA has agreed to distribute to the residents. As we receive more specific dates and locations, those will be shared with the HOA and residents.

The purpose of this communication is to recirculate the summary previously provided to the community as well as provide an update on action items taken since June 2024.

The Winding Cypress Community Development District (the "District" or "CDD") was established pursuant to F.S. Chapter 190 as a vehicle to finance and manage basic community development services. The District's sole purpose is to provide, operate and maintain the public infrastructure systems for the District. The designated preserve area (the "Preserve Areas") and the District's stormwater management system (the "Stormwater Management System") comprise the District's public infrastructure and are, therefore, operated and maintained by the CDD. 1

The CDD imposes and levies special assessments on the benefitted property within the CDD to pay off bonds issued for these capital improvements as well as provide for the ongoing maintenance of such improvements. All property owners within the CDD are subject to annual assessments which are broken down into two components: the operation and maintenance ("O & M") of the improvements; and debt service (annual principal & interest) on capital improvement bonds. The CDD utilizes the Collier County Tax Collector to collect these assessments each year. The annual assessments appear as one line in the non-ad valorem section of the property
tax bill. The CDD's fiscal year is October 1st- September 30th.

The Winding Cypress CDD is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors (the "Board") elected by landowners within the District. Initially, pursuant to Chapter 190, F.S., before the first home was even constructed or sold, the Supervisors were employees of the Developer and elected by the landowner. When sufficient residents resided within the CDD to meet certain statutory transition thresholds, CDD Supervisor positions or "seats" were transitioned to homeowners. By June 2023, Winding Cypress homeowners filled all five seats and held majority of the Board voting control of CDD operations. Once we had voting control, we began taking immediate action to address the lake erosion seen throughout the District.

Within the past year, your Board of Supervisors has taken the following actions on behalf of the Winding Cypress CDD:

Began budgeting to address erosion issues throughout the Winding Cypress CDD,
Solicited proposals for a new District Engineer,
Selected a District Engineer,

1 Additionally, the COD and Winding Cypress Homeowners Association, Inc. (the "HOA") have entered into an agreement whereby the HOA provides maintenance for certain aspects of the CDD's Stormwater Management System relating to water quality, weed control and related items. The COD is responsible for the Stormwater Management System lake bank and erosion repairs.

WINDING CYPRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
c/o Special District Services, Inc.
2501A Burns Road
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
Verified that the Southwest Florida Water Management District and Collier County approved and closed out all permits for the District Stormwater Management System, as the design and construction were deemed to meet established standards,
Authorized the District Engineer to assess the extent of lake bank erosion throughout the District,
Reviewed in detail and adopted the Engineer's Lake Erosion Evaluation Report,
Reviewed in detail and adopted the Supplemental to the Lake Erosion Evaluation Report,
Authorized the District Engineer to develop a proposal to address the issues identified in those reports; and
Met with members of the HOA Board of Directors to discuss potential erosion remediation options being considered and to request their collaboration in delivering a holistic and lasting solution to the lake bank erosion issues within the CDD.

The District Engineer's comprehensive report examined 1012 data points throughout the 29 lakes totaling approximately 85 acres. While 484 of those points were not problematic, 528 sites were identified with erosion problems of varying degrees. Over 70% of those problem sites were caused by offsite (meaning outside of the District-owned property or within District easement areas, approximating the lakes, lake banks and an easement extending approximately 15-20 feet from the control elevation point in each lake). Of the offsite causes, 66% were caused by runoff from homes, mostly downspouts; 5% were caused by improperly installed pool overflow pipes and 5% by other offsite causes. Both the Evaluation and the Supplemental reports are posted on the Winding Cypress CDD website at https://windingcypresscdd.org. To address these offsite issues at the source as recommended by the District Engineer, we enlisted the partnership of the HOA Board of Directors as indicated above.

UPDATE FOR YEAR-END 2024

The goal of this update is to provide a general overview of actions taken since June 2024 by the Winding Cypress Community Development District in connection with the lake bank remediation project. Throughout the summer and fall, your CDD Board of Supervisors together with our District Engineer, Counsel and Manager, have continued the work necessary to remediate lake erosion throughout the District. We have taken the following additional steps towards that overarching (sometimes daunting) objective:

Directed District Engineer to prioritize erosion spots in greatest need of remediation and to develop a plan of action for addressing those sites.
Accepted District Engineer's recommendation that we initially begin remediation efforts with 17 sites in greatest need & directed that solicitation should proceed. [Doing so ensured that we were able to continue making progress toward our goal, while staying within budget. (Note: The Board unanimously passed a budget for fiscal year 2024- 2025 with no increase to tax assessments. Moreover, because this 17-site scope of work

WINDING CYPRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
c/o Special District Services, Inc.
2501A Burns Road
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
does not reach the statutory requirement for a full sealed bid procurement process, we were able to expedite the solicitation, review and award process.] The District will continue to review options for additional projects to further address the erosion issues within District property throughout the community.
Solicitation as follows:
The District Engineer contacted 12 contractors regarding the project, 11 of which requested solicitation materials to perform work as specified by District Engineer,
5 contractors submitted bids, which were reviewed and analyzed by District Engineer and Supervisors,
As all 5 respondents bid on the same proposal specifics, Supervisors selected the lowest bidder. However, during contract negotiations expressed unwillingness or inability to perform work as specified notwithstanding solicitation terms,
Supervisors directed District Engineer to withdraw from negotiations with lowest bidder and make offer to second lowest Bidder, Earth Tech,
Upon acceptance by Earth Tech contract negotiations began.
Contract executed January 2025.
Work planned to begin (initial phase of 17 sites) February 2025.
Notices to impacted residents soon to be sent for awareness purposes.

Our District Engineer and staff will oversee the work being done by Earth Tech to ensure conformity with our contract and engineering plan specifications, including but not limited to de­ watering as required. Utilizing information gleaned from this first phase of our community­ wide project, District Engineer continues development of a comprehensive plan(s) to remediate lake erosion sites throughout the Winding Cypress Community Development District.

Our overarching goal remains restoring the lake banks to acceptable standards and ultimately to establish a routine maintenance program to minimize or, ideally, avoid a reoccurrence of the systemic erosion that we currently see throughout the community. Clearly this is a long-term, sometimes arduous, process. It is also an undertaking essential to preserving the substantial financial investment that all District homeowners have made in their homes and our community. Because we, your Board of Supervisors, are Winding Cypress homeowners, taxpayers and fiduciaries, we continue to work tirelessly to accomplish these objectives in a cost-effective matter.
