Proof of publication was presented that Notice of the Workshop Meeting had been published in the Naples Daily News on January 6, 2025, as legally required.
UPDATES ON LAKE BANK REMEDIATION
It was noted that the contracts had been signed, the letters to homeowners had been drafted and the project was anticipated to begin in February. Mr. Tryka will provide updates as they are received. A discussion ensued regarding owners tying into the system. This will be managed on a case-by-case basis with specs created by Mr. Tryka. A process could be established as we work through the first few.

Mr. Tryka shared some pictures with the Board explaining the effect of the pathways on the lake banks. The pathways cause the water to channel and remove soil at the lake banks. Hose bibs, extended driveways, patios and pools do not have the same effect.
DISCUSSION REGARDING PRESERVE MAINTENANCE
Ms. Krizen presented a brief overview of the preserve area and the contract with Collier Environmental. The permits require the preserves to be maintained with less than 5% of invasive plants. Their initial five years required two contracts: one for removal (Collier Environmental) and the other contractor (Passarella & Associates) monitored the conditions of the preserves. While this is no longer a requirement, the Board could consider an additional contract to inspect and report to the Board regarding the preserves. A request was made for more detailed work reports from Collier Environmental as well as a closer look at the permits and possible penalties associated with the preserves. These items will be presented for discussion at the February meeting.
COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
There were no comments from the members of the public.
BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
There were no further comments from the Board Members.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to address, the Workshop Meeting was adjourned at 2:13 p.m. by Chairperson Powell. There were no objections.
