OLD BUSINESS
Update on Fall 2024 Lake Bank Remediation

Mr. Tryka advised that he had met with the site superintendent and project manager to go over the project. The team looked at access points and storing equipment. There is one lake that will require a concrete pipe and will need more space than the other lakes. The anticipated start date is within the next two weeks. The Supervisors and residents were reminded that the superintendent and project manager were working with a set of plans from which they cannot vary. If any issue arises, the District Manager should be the point of contact. The Supervisors should direct resident questions to Ms. Krizen. A discussion ensued regarding the process if residents are tying into the system. No tie-ins should be done until the work has been completed and accepted by the District Engineer. Mr. Tryka will create a specification sheet to provide the Architectural Review Committee and residents who wish to tie-in to the system. This process will be further discussed to decide how to inspect tie-ins as they are competed.
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion Regarding Preserve Maintenance

The District owns and maintains approximately 583 acres of preserve, which is separate from the preserve owned and maintained by the HOA. The District's preserve has permits from South Florida Water Management and the Army Corps of Engineers. The first five years the permits required to treat the preserve (Collier Environmental Services) for invasive species as well as hire a company to complete inspection reports (Passarella and Associates). After the first five years, the requirement to complete inspection reports is no longer required, however treatments to ensure less the 5% invasive are still an obligation of the permits. There is a Preserve Account that was provided to the District to be interest generating to support the preserves. The principal of this account cannot be used without written permission from the Army Corps of Engineers.
At the Workshop, the invoice from Collier Environmental was shared with the Board as well as a discussion. regarding reporting. At that time, the Board requested a more detailed invoice from Collier Environmental. Ms. Krizen reached out to Passarella to request a proposal to be used for discussion purposes.
The itemized invoice from Collier Environmental provided the Board with the details to assure them that the work had been completed as per the contract. A discussion ensued regarding inspection reports. Since they are not required, the purpose would be double-checking the preserves. There was a consensus of the Board to take no further action at this time.
ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
Manager's Report
