OLD BUSINESS
Discussion Regarding Lake Bank Remediation 2025

Mr. Tryka gave an update regarding the completion of the 2025 repairs and noted that there were a few items that were going to be touched up prior to the District releasing funds. The contractor was open to the possibility of completing a tie into the system for homeowners but had concerns regarding the coordination. If the ARC receives a request, this will be explored.

NEW BUSINESS
Discussion Regarding Lake Bank Remediation 2026

The 2026 Lake Bank Remediation will be entire lakes as opposed to isolated areas. All connections to the lake will be established, then the lake bank escarpment will be addressed. The next steps are to isolate the lakes to be included and create new plans for bidding purposes. The bid documents will be designed to have the bids completed on a lake by lake basis allowing the District to ensure that the maximum work can be completed within the budget.
Consider Resolution No. 2025-01 - Adopting a Fiscal Year 2025/2026 Proposed Budget

Resolution No. 2025-0 I was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2025-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE WINDING CYPRESS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING PROPOSED BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING THEREON PURSUANT TO FLORIDA LAW; ADDRESSING TRANSMITTAL, POSTING AND PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS; ADDRESSING SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The proposed budget was presented and is consistent with last year's budget. A discussion ensued regarding the budget for Lake Bank Remediation. There were questions regarding how much work could be completed with the current budget. This is difficult to predict due to the uncertainty of costs, particularly the fill for the escarpment. Staff was directed to reach out regarding bonds or loans to determine if the Board would be interested in further pursuing.
A motion was made by Chairperson Powell, seconded by Supervisor Petrovsky and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2025-0 l, as presented, setting the Public Hearing for August 7, 2025.
