Consideration of Resolution #2025-03 Electing Officers
Mr. Padilla: Organizational matters. Consideration of Resolution #2025-02 Confirming General Election Results. Eugene Carney is Seat #4 and Barry Winfree is Seat #5. Both ran unopposed. We need a motion confirming the general election results.
Mr. Shipe: I make a motion that we accept the results.

The Treasurer you have from my office is Patti Powers. Assistant Secretary would be the Board of Supervisors and also from my office would be Rich Hans as Secretary.
Mr. Carney: What do you need to know from us?
Mr. Padilla: Who the Chairman will be appointed and the Vice Chairman.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You could approve the same slate of officers if you choose to do so or you could elect a new Chair and Vice Chair.

Mr. Shipe: Does anybody else have a desire to be Chair of the Board? Mr. Carney: I will continue for one more term.
Mr. Morgan: We have a nomination on the floor.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Lance has nominated Rob. I think we are just seeing what we would do. If there is no further nominations other than Rob, Skip put his hat in the ring and you would vote on those two individuals.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Pledge of Allegiance
Mr. Carney led the Pledge of Allegiance.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Good News
Mr. Carney: Does anybody have any good news?
Mr. Shipe: The Christmas lights looks very good. I think the work you did with Christmas Design and the color changes looks really nice out there. I think everybody in the neighborhood is pleased.
Mr. Carney: I think they look great. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Mr. Morgan: I agree the Christmas lights look very nice. I like the red and green on Wiles Road on the walls. I talked to Pat about this. The only adjustment I would make is the Nativity scene seems to be more in a U-shape where before we had it more, and the figures are actually kind of turned away from the street. If it was a little wider you could have them facing more so people could see the definition of the figures and so on and so forth. However, overall, it looks pretty good.
Mr. Carney: They were more set up in the biblical format where everyone is looking at the infant child and not away from them, but they could be turned slightly.
Mr. Morgan: That was the only thing that I saw that needed adjustment, but everything looked good to me.
Mr. Carney: Just for future reference as you drive this year, make your notes because it is hard to remember next year what your ideas were. Jot them down on a piece of paper any changes you would like to make or any ideas so that way we know what they are moving forward.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comment
Mr. Carney: Julio, public comment? Sir, would you identify yourself? Mr. Torres: My name is Ceasar Torres.
Mr. Carney: Thanks for coming. I would like to know if there is anything you would like to share with us tonight?
Mr. Torres: Yes, I have a question. I am a new owner of my property. Me and some other neighbors have a concern of the environment. With the rain and the erosion, we are losing a lot of the land in the backyard. We were wondering, what I was wondering, and I made this comment to some of my neighbors about Turtle Run and the City of Coral Springs plan to avoid or minimize this erosion as a consequence of the water that is around the little lake there.
Mr. Carney: Do you live in the Estates at Turtle Run? Mr. Torres: I live at 6355 39th Court.
Mr. Morgan: What development is it in sir? Hidden Lake or Newport? Ok, Harbor
Island.

Mr. Torres: The HOA is Harbor Island. My backyard has the water and there is a current and I noticed that every time it rains the erosion is taking away the land. I questioned the neighbors and said I am new in the area. What is the plan? Can we put any kind of embankment? They told me no, that it is not allowed. I said well let me find out myself. Let me go to the meeting and ask the Board of Supervisors what is allowed or not allowed or what is the plan?
Mr. Carney: There were some of the lakes that we had done. We put a geo-tube in to help save the banks. We didn’t do every lake. We have 14 lakes. I think we did a couple because of the amount of money that it costs. It takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to put that geo-tube around the lakes. To answer your question what can you do personally to fix the problem. That is a real good question. Lance, do you have any ideas?
Mr. Morgan: Well he has geo-tube there presently. Mr. Carney: It does?
Mr. Morgan: Yes. What is the problem exactly?
Mr. Carney: You apparently have a geo-tube behind your house. Mr. Torres: I don’t know what a geo-tube is.
Mr. Carney: It is something that is filled with sand. It is a black structure that goes along the lake bank.
Mr. Winfree: It kind of looks like sandbags.
Mr. Morgan: I don’t know if we did his lake or not. He lives in Harbor Island, so he backs up to this canal right here or right here. I don’t think we did those with geo-tube. Chris, do you remember if we did Harbor Island? I don’t think we did.
Mr. Carney: We only did the main lakes. We didn’t do any of the smaller lakes. Mr. Morgan: I would suggest Pat get his address and go look at what the situation
is.
Mr. Szozda: I have it.
Mr. Torres: I saw some of the neighbors that are having similar problems to come
to the meeting today. I have been wanting to do that, but I have small children, and I usually have activities on Monday. Whatever you can do.
Mr. Carney: How long have you lived there?

Mr. Torres: Since November of last year.
Mr. Morgan: Are you saying the bank is washing away?
Mr. Torres: Yes. If you don’t have any kind of embankment, I think it is obvious that would happen. How far the property is and how far the water is taking over the property. I got a permit for a fence, and I noticed wow this is a lot less that I actually thought I was paying for. That is not really the consideration, it is more like what will continue from here on and what are the plans whether it is the homeowners responsibility, whether it is Turtle Run’s responsibility or whether it is Coral Springs, who it is, what is the plan?
Mr. Morgan: Mike?
Mr. Pawelczyk: You will recall that many many years ago you adopted a resolution authorizing the owner if they wanted to correct an erosion in accordance with approved plans from the city or the District engineer so he can self-help it, but he has to go get a permit through GMS to do that. That is one thing that can be done. The City of Coral Springs by the way has no jurisdiction whatsoever over our lakes. In fact, the CDD really doesn’t have any obligation to correct the erosion. The only obligation the CDD has is to maintain the 4:1 slope under the permit. That doesn’t mean that this Board hasn’t in the past taken significant actions to correct erosion problems.
Mr. Carney: Can you pull up that resolution so we can look at that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think it is better for him to deal directly with management. There is no reason for the Board to be involved at this point in my opinion. One thing I would like to see his survey, if he could get his survey to Pat or Julio just to check. He indicates he put a fence in. The fence permit won’t allow him to put a fence in the lake maintenance easement. So, he should have almost 20 feet of property before he even gets to the lake parcel depending upon the erosion that is back there. Survey’s are always helpful. If we get a recent survey for Jonathan to look at, it helps him to identify the erosion issue.
Mr. Morgan: Sir, can you show us your house? Mr. Winfree: It is the one with the trees right there. Mr. Torres: Right there.
Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Torres: I came here as an interested citizen.

Mr. Pawelczyk: There is no action the Board needs to take now unless the Board other than what you have already done which is to tell Pat to look at it. I think the survey would be helpful to Pat.
Mr. Carney: Julio, you will take a look at the survey and look at the house, right? Mr. Padilla: Right.
Mr. Carney: Chris, do you have anything?
Mr. Kapish: I have a question for Barry. When did you hear that Skip was in an indictment for Sunshine Law violations?
Mr. Winfree: Sometime last year. Mr. Kapish: Do you know when?
Mr. Winfree: No, just sometime last year.
Mr. Kapish: It was never talked about at any meetings, I was just wondering how you heard about them.
Mr. Winfree: I don’t remember to tell you the truth.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Barry, you don’t have to answer questions from the public. It is public comment. As a matter of fact, it is public record. It is in the Broward circuit court website. It is public record.
Mr. Carney: Chris, do you have anything else?
Mr. Kapish: I think it is in very poor taste that we are here today, and you guys are taking the election result. I understand you were unopposed, but the issue is really that you have two counts of Sunshine Law violations against you, yet we talk about transparency and transparency is what we all talk about. There is no transparency because Barry, it actually came out in August.
Mr. Winfree: This year?
Mr. Kapish: Yes. Skip can probably verify that. That bottom line is that the public, the voters when something like that happens, the voters and constituents should have knowledge of that. It is something that is an issue with the Board, what is going on with the Board because the Board makes decisions and it kind of taints the decisions that are made especially when things aren’t done with transparency. That is a problem. It is a stain here that we are talking about and the fact that nobody seems to know about it I don’t even know if the rest of the Board members know about it, but they should. The

public here should be notified. It should be stated. Skip should tell the public and announce and put on the record, so it becomes part of the record for the District. He is the only one in the history of the District that has been indicted for Sunshine Law violations. It is a very serious thing. The other thing I have to say is the Vice Chair, who is not here tonight, lives in a different state who has moved away. It has been over a year since she left and that is also has not been disclosed to the public either. She has been gone for more than a year.
Mr. Carney: Ok Chris your three minutes are up. Do you have anything else?
Mr. Kapish: My point is the bottom line, which is that she has not only moved away and taken another job someplace.
Mr. Carney: Let’s move on.
EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of the Minutes of the
October 28, 2024 Meeting
Mr. Carney: Approval of the minutes of the October 28, 2024 meeting.
Mr. Kapish: I am not finished Skip. That is kind of rude. I am the only one here. There is only two people here as homeowners. He is asking about his canal thing which is also the responsibility of the Board. We fix canal banks all along and that is a primary function of the Board. The function of the Board is to fix those canal banks and that is what you are supposed to do.
Mr. Carney: I believe Mike already spoke about that. Approval of the minutes of the October 28, 2024 meeting please.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, the Minutes of the October 28, 2024 Meeting were approved.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution
#2025-04 Amending the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget
Mr. Carney: Consideration of Resolution #2025-04 Amending the Fiscal Year 2024 budget. It is pretty basic. Every year the ending budget needs to operate with a zero

balance. Jennifer had to move a few things around just to make sure there is no profit at the end of the year in any category. With that said if anybody has any questions or we just need a motion to approve the resolution.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor, Resolution #2025-04 Amending the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget was approved.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney – Reminder of Required Ethics Training and Financial Disclosure
Mr. Pawelczyk: We just recirculated the ethics training memorandum we sent back in January. It has the links in there. I think most of you have completed this, but I did receive an inquiry to resend it to someone. I asked Julio to just include it in again. As we have discussed before, when you fill out your financial disclosure for next year there will be something there that you have to certify that you completed it during the 2024 calendar year. Unless there is any questions I really don’t have anything.
Mr. Morgan: Mike, there was no certificates or anything, so I took screenshots.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That is what I did because I had to do it in connection with something else I do not as a lawyer. I had to do it too. I did the same thing. It is self- reporting right now. I just do in case some yahoo out there comes back and says you never did it. I wrote a note and put it in my calendar. It is on my phone. It is in my financial disclosure file that I completed it and which course I completed and which day I completed it on. Hopefully next year we will have more of a variety. I didn’t think it was too bad to listen but almost everyone I spoke to complained about how boring it was. I really did think it was that bad especially for a lot of you guys that have been on the Board for a very long time and have attended other seminars with Sunshine Laws, public records and ethics issues discussed.
Mr. Morgan: I thought the guy was pretty good.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I thought he was good too. Anyway, hopefully we will have more options next year so you can listen to something different without spending any money. I don’t know if there is any funds in the budget but there are some paid for, I think it is $79

through Florida Association Special Districts you can take that course. I don’t think it is any better. It is just newer. We will know more as the year goes along.
Mr. Carney: Anything else?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t think so. I can get something from Julio. He sent something around today from Matthew Fornaro who is your special counsel on the entry walls which was really just a copy of discovery that he has propounded on the experts hired by the two defendants, Anzco and Peacock. It is really just in discovery. He just provided that to you.
Mr. Carney: I actually spoke to him. He called my yesterday. The way he put it to me is depositions will be scheduled after the first of the year with the contractor and architect or the representative and then there will be also someone from management and one of the most knowledgeable Board members will be deposed. Then our expert, remembered we hired the expert to take a look at it. He will also be deposed. After the depositions he said the way he explained it to me was that they are going to disagree with ours. We are going to disagree with theirs and nobody is going to settle anything and then it will head to mediation. He is looking at mediation possibly in March and the end game in May. There is also a court hearing set up in May for trial if it gets to that point.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think that is when they go, and they are told when their time is for
trial.
Mr. Carney: Mediation will be done by Zoom. I think that the way he puts it to me
obviously before that we will have to have a meeting or session with certain individuals.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The Board will have to schedule a shade session. Maybe after the holidays reach out to Matthew if he wants to do that. It is going to be after depositions because we do need to advertise that in the newspaper, general circulation.
Mr. Carney: That meeting has to be advertised?
Mr. Pawelczyk: They call it a shade session or closed-door session. It has to be advertised. It will be with Matthew, me, the District manager can be there and the Board and that is it and court reporter. Just so the Board knows after litigation is over a transcript of that shade session becomes public. It is not public until the litigation is over.
Mr. Carney: Before we go into mediation, would you recommend that we start getting quotes on repairs? How do we know what to settle for in mediation?

Mr. Pawelczyk: That is a question for Matthew.
Mr. Carney: We will need to know what we are looking at. We are going to mediation to try to settle on a dollar amount, but we don’t know what we are looking at.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I would talk to him. He has looked at damages. Mr. Carney: Ok.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That is all I have. Mr. Carney: Thank you.
Engineer
Mr. Carney: Jonathan is not here so I don’t think we have anything for engineering tonight.

Field Manager
Annual Maintenance Plan
Discussion of Florida CDI, LLC not Servicing the District per Contract Agreement
a. Current Agreement – Amended and Restated Services Agreement (Holiday Landscape Lighting) with Rileighs Outdoor, LLC
Mr. Szozda: Barry and I went over most of the issues in the annual maintenance report. I think a lot of it has been cleared. Barry, do we have anything outstanding?
Mr. Winfree: Not that I am aware of. I have one question. I updated everything that has happened through the year and all the changes. Everything is up to date. What my plan was in the next meeting is to hand that back over to you guys to maintain for the year. There wasn’t much that changed. The flags and that was about it off the top of my head that I can remember. If anybody wants anything else in there just let me know between now and the next meeting and I will get it in there. Then it is all yours.
Mr. Szozda: As far as what we finished, we sanded the pavers on Turtle Run Boulevard as we do every year and replaced approximately 24 damaged pavers along the way. The mulching and flower installation is complete. The clusia have been installed at Lake Lauren Jackson and the sitting area off Creekside that will be in conjunction with the No Trespassing signs coming in. The damaged tree on Turtle Creek has been removed along with two damaged terralusias on Turtle Run Boulevard. Last but not least the pressure cleaning we got complete, but Mr. Szozda was inaudible at this time. managed to go out there and make a semi-disaster of a few areas so that has to be followed up and touched up on.

Mr. Winfree: The only other thing that wasn’t in the annual plan was that we approved at the last meeting was the clusia being put in.
Mr. Szozda: That should be a one-time deal.
Mr. Shipe: When they sanded and did the pavers at the entranceway, is there a reason we are not doing the walkway also a little further up that one brick area.
Mr. Szozda: Yes, I just think because of the traffic that is in that area in particular. The walk areas don’t get the cars riding over it quite as much. That one walk area by the school has to be pressure cleaned too. Once the pressure cleaning is done we can look and it could probably be sanded also. It wasn’t bad.
Mr. Shipe: Replace a couple of the broken bricks.
Mr. Szozda: It just needs cleaning and at that point in time we will take a closer look at it and see if any of those bricks need to be replaced.
Mr. Carney: What else do you have Pat? Mr. Szozda: That is all I have.
Mr. Morgan: Also Pat did you mention you got the clusias in where that No Trespassing sign is going in.
Mr. Szozda: Yes. Lake Lauren Jackson and the sitting area where the gentleman had complained about people walking into their backyard.
Mr. Burgess: The No Trespassing signs we will do after Thanksgiving. We have the signs and poles at the GMS office right now. We only have three. My understanding was that they were going to be placed, I have a map, but I wanted to bring this up. This is what we discussed going through the process of putting poles in this area. I know the clusia was installed by Lake Lauren Jackson. I just want to make sure we are all on the same page. We can definitely get more.
Mr. Morgan: How many signs are you scheduled to put in now? Mr. Burgess: We only have three.
Mr. Morgan: Yes. Where is Kim’s house? He lives in Newport. Mr. Szozda: That would be the top one.
Mr. Morgan: Ok.

Mr. Szozda: Part of the other clusia installation is you have a bad view of that gentleman’s backyard and his pool area there on both sides of Lake Lauren Jackson. It was determined also to cover up some unsightly stuff.
Mr. Burgess: The same company that is installing the poles can take care of the culvert behind Hidden Lakes. It just needs filling. They have done that work for us before at another property. They are more than capable. The drain cleaning company had
$2,500 for their crew to do it. He explained the work and it can be done. I just wanted to update you.
Mr. Winfree: Can we add that to the progress report, so we are tracking that?
Mr. Burgess: The final thing is just an update on Lux. I finally have a good system with them. We plan on inspecting them two times a year on a map that they have agreed to.The prior agreement that we had with them the work didn’t begin because we needed the map. Mike and I talked, and we finally have an updated price from Lux based on what I found including what they found in the prior inspection. We just need a motion to terminate the prior agreement.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The Board might recall back in October just a supplement to what Patrick said, everything he said was correct, but the agreement was for something like
$5,600 I think for replacement of those roundabout markers. In their proposal it said pursuant to the plan attached. When we put the agreement together we asked where is the plan and apparently there was no plan. So Patrick pursuant to the Board’s direction worked with Lux to put together a plan and made sure anything that needs to be replaced is replaced which increased the cost because the numbers of markers were a little over
$8,040. I can give you the specific amount. So, what we did was since the other agreement was already executed but never acted upon, I did an amended restated agreement basically terminating the prior agreement in favor of this new one which includes the attached plan that Patrick prepared and the updated proposal for $8,640.
Mr. Burgess: That is the most recent one based on my findings and the prior findings. We should be on a good track moving forward.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The October one we approved was for $5,760. Mr. Winfree: We never executed that one?

Mr. Pawelczyk: It was executed but when it was sent to me I said where is the plan? Their proposal said pursuant to the plan. Patrick jumped on it and started working with them to get a plan. He said they are not going to do any work until we have a plan and know what they are doing. That is the whole problem. Remember every time you come back which ones did they install. We kind of nipped it in the bud as a team before any work was started. Lux is ok with this procedure moving forward.
Mr. Winfree: Ok. So the $5,700 we never spent? Mr. Pawelczyk: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: The new stuff will cover the whole plan now. The ones are marked, and we are tracking so we know which ones are under warranty now.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We just need a motion to authorize execution of the new small project agreement which does have the effect of terminating the October agreement or rescinding the October agreement.
Mr. Carney: Would that be charged fiscal year 2024 or 2025? Mr. Pawelczyk: 2025.
Mr. Winfree: So moved or do we need a motion? Mr. Pawelczyk: So moved would be a motion.
Mr. Winfree: So moved.

On MOTION by Mr. Winfree seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, a motion to authorize execution of the new small project agreement with Lux in the amount of $8,760 and terminating the October agreement was approved.

LLC?

Mr. Winfree: Can we also add that to the progress report, so we are tracking that? Mr. Burgess: Yes.
Mr. Carney: Pat, do you want to lead on this one the discussion of Florida CDI,

Mr. Szozda: I can start the discussion. Feel free to join in but they had gotten an

initial jump on getting the installation of the lights installed. They were there in October actually. It was my understanding that by the first week in November they should have everything installed. Well, they had most of it installed. I think we made a few changes

to the agreement and Joe contacted me that Saturday telling me that they could not get it done until the following week, which would have been November 15th, and at that point in time everything was installed and lit.
Mr. Carney: Anybody have any questions to that?
Mr. Morgan: When does the contract call for the lights to turn on? Mr. Szozda: I believe November 15th is the date on that.
Mr. Morgan: Julio, do you have a date on that? When does the contract call for the lights to be turned on?
Mr. Carney: November 14th I have it right here. Mr. Morgan: When were they turned on?
Mr. Szozda: It was the 15th.
Mr. Morgan: Actually it was the 17th I think. Let me just check my calendar. I might have misspoken.
Mr. Szozda: It was that Friday.
Mr. Morgan: Julio, when you and I spoke you told me that it was supposed to be turned on the first Friday of the month.
Mr. Padilla: That was on the proposal .
Mr. Morgan: Was that a different contract that you gave me the information off of? Mr. Padilla: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: That is why I am confused about it. I really think that we need to move the date forward to a date that we are certain the lights need to be on so there is no ambiguity. As far as him having, Pat had told me that there was trouble getting a truck of some type, a crane or whatever it was. We have in our annual maintenance plan for 2024 we have when the Menorah’s first light gets turned on. I think we need to put into not only the contract but a maintenance plan so there is no confusion as to when we expect the lights to turn on. We spend about $75,000 on lights and the way I look at it is we get about seven weeks of use out of those lights up to the New Year maybe January 1st or 2nd. We had to put when things had to be removed because sometimes if you remember a couple of years ago the Nativity Set was left out there till the middle of January and that type of thing. Now they have to remove it within the first couple of days. It would be my recommendation that we need the lights to be turned on with a no later than the first

Friday in November. That might be the 4th or 5th or we can make a hard fast date as to the 5th of November. This way if he does run a couple days late the lights are on by the 7th or 8th not the 15th which is two weeks into the month. Out of all the communities our community was the last one to turn their lights on. Across the street had them. Other communities had them. Coral Bay had them. Rock Island and Sample, that community over there had them.
Mr. Carney: I think we need to make it date certain. That I agree with.
Mr. Morgan: I make a motion that we move it to a date certain for 2025 so we know it is going to be by the 5th of November or whatever. And if it is not there, there has to be ramifications to that because I expect to see my tax dollars and everybody else’s tax dollars paying for 8 weeks of holiday lights, but we are getting six weeks this year. The way I look at it if you take $77,000 and divide it by 8 weeks of service that is great, but when you only get 6 weeks of service, and we are talking about anything else this Board would be a little concerned about it especially if it had to do with your own finances. It seems like, I like Christmas Designers and they do a good job for us but a couple of years ago we had to call them on the account that the lights never worked. Remember that? We are a pretty big account, and I think we need that respect.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You wouldn’t be making any changes to this agreement until really the summer when you consider next year’s options. Maybe what we want to do, what I think you should do is can we have dates for the next three years of this new agreement. Just pick a date for each three years whether it is November 7, 2025, November 6, 2026 do that, and we will include that in the amendment when we approve the revised. We have never stuck with the same plan. Every year we change it. We tweak it always a little bit. When we get that new plan I will make a note to amend that agreement and just for everybody to remind us that we need to amend it to include those dates.
Mr. Morgan: I would think that lights could be on by November 1st of every year or November 7th. At least get a good seven weeks out of our lights.
Mr. Carney: I think the 7th or a few days earlier is fine.
Mr. Morgan: That is one thing that I was a little perturbed about this year. The lights do look really good. I really like the lights, but I was a little ticked off that we just kept

getting put off. I did get some information I was told that it was supposed to be the first Friday of November and I don’t know if that is accurate.
Mr. Carney: By contract it says the 14th. The only reason we were a day late is because we wanted to make sure the electrician was there. Our electrician, their electrician, Pat, me and they were able to light them all at one time instead of having spotted. Everything was able to be done at one time instead of having them lit up piece by piece.
Mr. Morgan: Pat did tell me that you said let’s putting it on all at once. I understand that was a field decision.
Mr. Carney: And we had the electrician out there. If we had any problems, actually the electrician was fixing problems along the way, right Pat?
Mr. Szozda: Correct.
Mr. Morgan: Next year let’s shoot for by at least the first week of November.
Mr. Winfree: One amendment to that Lance I like the November 1st date. I totally support that. The only other thing that I would put in there is that by October 15th everything is in place just like we have in the contract now that by November 1st everything is in place. If we test on November 1st they are not going to work. You need to go back a week or two, so they have time to finish everything. We need that checkpoint in there.
Mr. Carney: Now does that fit with the tree trimming?
Mr. Szozda: It can. I would just have to dictate certain areas get done first. That is not a big deal.
Mr. Winfree: The only other concern I have is in the current contract what it says, and you are talking about the beginning of January, it also says the materials will be removed by the first week in February.
Mr. Morgan: We are talking specifically about the Nativity.
Mr. Winfree: It needs to be in there. I don’t see the Nativity in here anywhere. That needs to be in there. The contract says the first week in February.
Mr. Morgan: That was in the previous contract maybe. Mr. Pawelczyk: I think they just did it.
Mr. Morgan: They might have just came out and got it but we don’t need it sitting out there till the 15th or 20th like it was.

Mr. Winfree: November 1st is fine, but you need that 14 days before so if you run into problems just because they put it in doesn’t mean it works. They have two weeks to test it so on the 1st when you turn it on it actually works.
Mr. Morgan: The good news is it looks good, and it is all there.
Mr. Shipe: Mike, have you seen in these types of contracts any written penalties whether financial?
Mr. Pawelczyk: There is already a penalty. Mr. Winfree: It is in there.
Mr. Shipe: Alright.
Mr. Pawelczyk: This Board has evolved this contract over many many years that all resulted from deficiencies in the contractors work. Right now, it is set up where everything is supposed to be installed by November 1st. That gives them time to meet the lighting date and tweak everything. If it is not lit and operating by November 14th then it is $2,000 a day. It was Skip’s decision to extend the day which makes sense. What I will do Lance is I will over the next several months I will draft that amendment so it will be ready. We can talk about the dates. Once you see something on paper it is easier to figure out your dates. I will propose something in mind with this discussion. We can look at a calendar and talk about it so then when CDI presents you with the new scope of services for the next holiday season we can just plug that into the amendment and approve it.
Mr. Carney: Make sure it should be Thursday or Friday, not a weekend.
Mr. Winfree: It wouldn’t be the same date for each year. We have to put it in by the date.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We don’t want to use the first Friday because the first Friday could be November 1st.
Mr. Winfree: November 1st next year is a Sunday.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We will just propose dates and line it up with the contract, it is very simple.
Mr. Winfree: In the annual plan we need three new dates in there. One is when they need to install, one when they need to be on by, and one when they need to be removed by.

July?

Mr. Padilla: We will put on the annual maintenance to be brought to the Board in

Mr. Winfree: Whenever it needs to be done. Right now, we are assuming is there

something special that needs to be done for the Nativity scene because our contract for this close down.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think for this year I think a letter should come from management requesting that the Menorah, the Nativity and the dreidel be removed by blank date.
Mr. Winfree: Usually that is January 7th.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I would just communicate that.
Mr. Winfree: The rest of the stuff, the February date is fine.
Mr. Morgan: As soon as possible no later than the 7th something like that. Pat, I think you can make those arrangements with Joe.
Mr. Carney: Staying on Christmas design for a moment, I asked Joe to come in and see if he can’t work out a three-year deal based on the same pricing. First I asked him what his price increase was for next year. He said a 3% increase. I said how do we lock it in at this year’s price without taking the increase? He gave us another three-year deal. He said let me check and got back and said yes we can give the three-year deal. I said I want it based on our discounted price, not on our current pricing and they said on our discounted price. If you add up all the bells and whistles and take away 3% every third year we are saving about $28,000 over the six years just to give you some numbers, which I think is good.
Mr. Morgan: That is a good job, and they look good.
Mr. Carney: We haven’t had an increase from them in four years. It will be six years by the time it is over.
Manager
Progress Report
Discussion of Capital Projects List
Mr. Padilla: I don’t have any comments unless the Board has any questions. There will be a few things that will be updated by Patrick.
Mr. Winfree: I have a couple. For example, number 6 in the progress report I assume that is going to be complete now so we can close that one. The CDI holiday lights.  That will be in the completed section so that is done.   Where the capital

improvements are on the agenda so we will talk about those. We talked about sending out a letter to the city because our contract said November 1st, or we would get a refund. In the contract it was written in there, one of the clauses was if it is not done, parking meaning that is, by November 1st then we would get a refund. We talked about that. We were supposed to draft a letter and send it to them to see if we could get that out of there or what we really were going to do. I don’t think that is going to be done until sometime next year to tell you the truth.

Mr. Carney: What are you referring to? Mr. Winfree: The park funding agreement.
Mr. Carney: It is not going to be done. I gave the Board members a copy of this. I met two Assistant Parks Directors now. There is Justin Ellis and there is also Lou Goldstein. Pat met with me at the park the other day with Justin Ellis. We talked about the trash container of course. They said they were going to get it out of there as soon as they can. The one good thing they said, and Rob Hunter called me on it and said that the
$90,000 for the pickleball courts and tennis courts were approved by the city. They will resurface it. They will put in all the netting and the interior fencing. The exterior fencing will stay the same. They are not changing the exterior fencing. The original galvanized steel fence would stay in place, repairs if needed. The city is possibly looking at, they are going to experiment with solar lighting so solar electric opposed to actual electric because to put in electric is tens of thousands of dollars. It is a lot of money to run electric. They are going to experiment with solar panels to run the power. The baseball backstop will be removed along with both dugouts. That will be replaced by an 8-foot galvanized steel fence on that backside. The existing perimeter fence would stay in place. They are not going to take the outfield fence down like they discussed before. The reason is that the school has a lot of activities, and they have to have a total enclosed field in order for them to place school activities. That is going to stay up all the way around although they will take up some of that landscaping that is under those Chinese fan palms, but the Chinese fan palms will remain. The existing clay will be removed and will no longer be an actual baseball field. There won’t be a backstop. It will pretty much be used for soccer mostly. That will be turfed eliminating the red clay throughout. The tree trimming will take place

in coordination with the project. At this time there is no discussion about the relocation of the restrooms. That is going to be something far down the road if they do that. That was that. Lou sent me another update. Playground site prep, landscape removal and curbing by the end of the year. Delivery and installation of equipment and safety surface will be early 2025. Ok, it is going to be a little later than I thought. Basketball court, pavilion teen social space, exercise equipment and seating, and new canopy covers. What they would like to do is keep the structure there and put in new canopy covers for sunscreen. Then they turn it into a social area with probably some workout equipment under there that I thought was a pretty good idea.
Mr. Morgan: Are they going to keep both or just one?
Mr. Carney: Keep them both. If anybody has the opportunity to go out to Riverside Park to see what they did out there they got it all done with grants. The park is amazing. If you get a chance take a look at that. Pat and I took a ride over there and they had exercise equipment. They have pickleball courts; tennis courts and it is pretty sharp. I asked him for a smaller version of that so we will see where that goes. The only thing is to be priced and discussed with the city administration and Turtle Run groups for future funding so that will be a subject that we will have to bring up. I will be working with staff on the removal of the existing canopies to get rid of those and paint the posts. Staff are getting quotes for renovations to the ball field. We have already discussed that. Pickle ball courts we discussed. They have two different assistants that are working on two different sides of the fence. Anyway, I think when it comes to additional funding I guess we need to remind the city that we spend $1.3 million upkeeping a big part of Coral Springs every year. It saves them a lot of money so just give us our park. You guys agree?
Mr. Morgan: Yes.
Mr. Carney: Our area doesn’t cost them anything.
Mr. Padilla: I just need directions. Is that the wish of the Board to send a letter to the city asking them for a refund like Supervisor Barry mentioned?
Mr. Pawelczyk: The Board never asked for that.
Mr. Winfree: What we asked was to have a letter sent to them clarifying that agreement. We need an amendment to that agreement.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Just fix the agreement. I will look at it as well Julio next week.

Mr. Carney: Julio, do you want to talk about the capital improvement list please?
Mr. Winfree: Before we do that there is a couple of other items in the progress report that were supposed to be updated at this meeting. Inquiring about the extended warranty, do you get any further with them on that?
Mr. Burgess: Yes we spoke on the phone about it. They don’t have any option.
Mr. Winfree: There is nothing where they can just come out and just do a cursory check before we go out of warranty or anything?
Mr. Burgess: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: Ok so that is not going to happen then, right? Mr. Burgess: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: The annual pressure cleaning is completed. I think you are ok there. Redline for new locations is supposed to be updated at this meeting or is that nothing at this time?
Mr. Szozda: I haven’t talked to him in a while, but they still send reports. If you would like I can bring the reports in. Lance, didn’t you bring that up that there were some spots you thought we needed to have them?
Mr. Morgan: I haven’t been in touch with Redline. I think Skip texted me his phone number, but I never had a chance to get in touch with him and meet any of his employees.
Mr. Carney: I thought they hit that house you were referring to. Mr. Morgan: They may have.
Mr. Carney: I had a picture of them pulling out eight iguanas in one place. What you need to do is when they send you reports you guys need to forward them to the Board members so they can see what the activity is. They will go wherever they are requested to go. They don’t want to be walking in between people’s houses with a gun when they haven’t been invited. That is a problem. People don’t care about that very much. When a person has a request, and I know the Estates website now has an email they can just put in their email, and they go to their house because they have been invited.
Mr. Szozda: His is pretty responsive.
Mr. Burgess: We have told them not to do anything on private property or District property.
Mr. Carney: They can if they are invited.

Mr. Burgess: Does the HOA pay for that or the District?
Mr. Morgan: We have a ten-foot easement on all the lake banks. They should knock on doors and say hey, we are going to be in the back of your house if somebody is home or leave a card. There is a house on either side so they can knock on one of the doors, somebody is going to be home. I would suggest carrying the rifle up to the front door with you. Knock on the door and just tell them that you are going to be there and take care of business.
Mr. Carney: Typically the problems are the houses that are on the lakes more than the interior. There is some interior problems also. There is no question about it. They want to be invited to those locations.
Mr. Winfree: Just hitting the perimeters isn’t going to cut it down enough. As soon as they see they are lying out there what do you think they are going to do? They are going to move to where you are not there.
Mr. Morgan: I am not saying these guys don’t have integrity but what I am saying though is I don’t know where those iguanas came from. I met with the guy one time. I told him about one location, and he got two or three iguanas. They did a good job that day when I pointed them to the right thing. I think they are willing to do the work. If a Board member knows of a problem area go with them or Pat can get with me.
Mr. Carney: Pat, you have been given some addresses to bring them out at right? Mr. Szozda: Yes. I drive those powerlines every week and it seems to be working.
The one lake on Wiles still has a few of them but just from my standpoint it seems to be in pretty good shape.
Mr. Carney: They hit my preserve once every two weeks. Every time they go back there they pull two, three or four out of there. When you are in my backyard you can see all those lake banks, so you get a good view of what you are looking at. These things can’t be eradicated, they just have to be controlled. They have no predator. Nothing kills them other than the iguana removal.
Mr. Winfree: Last but not least is the pavers. They are complete, right? We talked about that already.
Mr. Szozda: As far as the sanding.

Mr. Winfree: All it says is F & K Pavers, Turtle Run Boulevard. I assume that was the sanding.
Mr. Szozda: That is complete, yes. On top of that, as I previously stated they replaced 24 of those pavers also. That was easy.
Mr. Winfree: We have three completes we can move over and one of the last questions is did we get a response from Cypress Pointe on the logo?
Mr. Padilla: That will be sent this week. Mr. Winfree: Ok. I am done with it.
Mr. Carney: I think we can move on to capital improvements. Julio, do you want to take the lead on that?
Mr. Padilla: The Board requested to bring this back, and this is what the Board has provided as far as capital improvements. I am not sure if the Board wants to take any of them out of the list or has ones to add?
Mr. Carney: Pat, we talked about irrigation at one time. You came up with a solution to a lot of our problems. Would you voice that please?
Mr. Szozda: What we are in the midst of working on and they have replaced about half a dozen of them is the nodes which are battery-operated. They were kind of as a valve replacement, an electronic valve replacement. The problem is with the nodes the batteries die, and they don’t work. Then it is a process. What we are doing is tracing wiring and trying to remove all these nodes to put that to rest once and for all. It is an extensive process. We are in the midst of that.
Mr. Winfree: Do we have a budget for that approved and everything?
Mr. Szozda: BrightView has kind of taken the lead. We are going to give them a little bit of an opportunity here, but they are not charging us additional funding unless there is material involved.
Mr. Winfree: So we really don’t need to spend anything or put any funds on that right now.
Mr. Szozda: Actually, we approved that we are going to have Dwight out there starting in January or February so we can kind of expedite that whole process.
Mr. Winfree: We are going into the dry season. When was the last time we had
rain?

Mr. Szozda: It has been weeks. We need to make sure those sprinklers are working.
Mr. Carney: When we first started talking about changing the wiring you had someone that told you that all you need to do is change those nodes. That is our number one problem.
Mr. Szozda: Exactly.
Mr. Winfree: Sounds like a good plan.
Mr. Morgan: Whatever is happening is working because I walked three miles in the community today and the grass looks great, Pat, and there is no hot spots even though it has been windy. A lot of the time the high wind causes a loss in heat, and it causes hot spots, but the grass really does look good. It is not growing as much right now, and they mowed today?
Mr. Szozda: Yes, sir.
Mr. Morgan: It looks really good out there. Things are where they ought to be right
now.
Mr. Carney: Julio, do you want to go through the list? We touched on pretty much
the first couple. There is fountains, I don’t know what that means.
Mr. Winfree: Just a quick question on the roundabout. I know there has been some wind in the last couple of weeks and I noticed the fountain wasn’t shut off again. Is there something stopping that from happening. Remember we had a problem with that several months ago. I noticed about a week ago we had the same issue almost.
Mr. Szozda: They were out there when they installed the colored lighting in the fountain, and I believe they took a look at it. I was out there today, and it did shut down when the wind kicked up. To your point that day it was getting pretty extensive there. Not as bad as it was a few months ago. I think it is under control, but I will follow up with them just to make sure.
Mr. Winfree: I didn’t know if somebody hit something again.
Mr. Carney: It was on the capital list. I am not sure why there was one there. Does anybody want to speak on why the fountains are on the capital list?
Mr. Winfree: I think the capital list was more when we were talking about the capital and the reserves. I think those two terms got intertwined somehow.

Mr. Carney: Pretty much park updates that is ongoing. We just have to figure out where we are heading with that. We will just keep it on the list. Monument signage I think we are talking about the front entrance as far as where we are heading with that. We won’t know until we get into the details a little bit more. Street signage, I am not sure why that is on there? If no one knows why it is on there we should just take it off. I don’t see that there is anything we are going to do with street signage.
Mr. Padilla: So take off street signage and fountain? Mr. Carney: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: The monuments and signage what I think that would be is we put all these new monuments with all the Turtle Run signs and everything; is there any plan, or anything needed for maintenance for those, or do we need reserves for them?
Mr. Carney: We wouldn’t need any capital money.
Mr. Winfree: We never did anything for reserves either. Do we need to do something to reserves for any of these things? The fountains I think, now the roundabout we have that under a plan that somebody comes out and does it. The fountains that are in the lakes I think they are on a regular maintenance program, right?
Mr. Carney: Correct.
Mr. Winfree: I don’t think we really need anything for the fountains. The irrigation we are taking care of. Park updates, I don’t think we are really going to pay anything for that.
Mr. Carney: Street signage you can nix. Flagpoles, any idea why that is in there?
Mr. Szozda: They all have been pretty much maintenance, and we just put up new flags on Veteran’s Day and everything is fine. They did correct the one over at Cypress Pointe. The top was sticking but they corrected that.
Mr. Carney: So there is no reason for it to be on the capital list. Mr. Winfree: I don’t think there is anything capital or reserve-wise. Mr. Carney: Contingency, that is more on the reserve side.
Mr. Winfree: We have the hurricane fund or whatever.
Mr. Carney: Community nature trail walks, I think that is going to be talked about probably in the future sometime, right Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Yes.

Mr. Winfree: Yes that would be a project.
Mr. Carney: That is pretty much as far as the capital is concerned. If you think of anything that you want to do just forward it to Julio.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
Financial Report on Capital Projects, Emergency Funds, Capital Reserve and All Other Financial Issues
Approval of Check Register
Acceptance of Unaudited Financials
Mr. Carney: Financial reports for the most part everything is pretty much the same. The capital reserve money is pretty much the same. I didn’t get any reports this week, Jennifer was out of the office. I will need approval of the check register.

On MOTION by Mr. Shipe seconded by Mr. Morgan with all in favor, the Check Register was approved.

Mr. Carney: Acceptance of unaudited financials. That is just something for you to review. I don’t think we need a motion for that. I talked to Jennifer about that, and she said it was just there for the Board to review.

TWELFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Mr. Carney: Supervisor requests, Lance?
Mr. Morgan: I have a few things. Pat, can you give me any information that we spoke about regarding Santos and how BrightView has been treating him regarding his hours?
Mr. Szozda: We ran into an issue for example it was raining or generally it is weather related, and they sent him home, but they don’t pay him for whatever hours he misses out on. Lance brought it to my attention. We both talked to Santos and asked him right out, what is your situation when they send you home? I talked with Ivan and Ivan followed up with Shawn and hopefully we have that situation rectified because they pay x amount of dollars regardless. In other words, his contract I believe it is like $40,000. Well it is not fair to him or us that they are subsidizing his time regardless. We brought it to their attention that he needs to be paid for the day once he is here regardless of the situation, he needs to paid.

Mr. Morgan: What Santos told me was one day we had bad weather. It might have been a possible hurricane or some type of storm and BrightView cancelled him for the day. Santos didn’t show up and he didn’t get paid for that day. Santos said on rainy days, or it is really storming, they call around 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning, he does get here at 7:00 in the morning, he doesn’t get paid for those five hours when he goes home. Well we are paying for x amount of hours for him to be here every week. I am not complaining if he was getting the money but however BrightView is putting that money in their pocket that is the part that is not fair is my point. I talked to Pat and Pat talked to Shawn and Shawn is going to straighten that out.
Mr. Szozda: I guess we will find out the next time they try to send him home. They said they rectified that situation.
Mr. Carney: How did they rectify it?
Mr. Szozda: Make sure he gets paid. The only way we can verify that is to go to Santos to make sure he is getting paid.
Mr. Morgan: Otherwise, if they are going to pay Santos, BrightView doesn’t have the right unless our contract says that they get to keep that money. Otherwise they have to rebate us. If they say Santos missed five days this year because of weather-related incidents BrightView doesn’t get to keep that money. When I was working at BSO we had to supply 15 deputies a day to monitor the lakes. If we could muster 14 or 10 or 12 whatever amount of deputy sheriffs we had to keep track of that and we had to rebate them that money. That is my point. If Santos isn’t getting it, that helps out BrightView’s bottom line and it is not fair to Santos, and it is not fair to this Board if we are paying for services we are not getting. We are hoping that the honesty of BrightView and by us keeping in touch with Santos we can rectify this. Now that they know that we know about this, it is something that we need to follow up with.
Mr. Szozda: We are bringing to their attention that we are aware of the situation and really make a difference. Hopefully the situation will be straightened out.
Mr. Shipe: Along those lines go to BrightView and say if Santos works basically for us making a salary instead of hourly so that he is there all the time. Trying to control what BrightView does with their employees and how they pay but I don’t know do you guys,

GMS, have any people that do what Santos does for neighborhoods? Could we switch from BrightView to an extra position from GMS that works for our District?
Mr. Carney: They have the machinery. They have the cart. They have all kinds of
stuff.
Mr. Shipe: I understand that but to change it our to a salary.
Mr. Morgan: It is one of those management situations and now that we know about
it we are going to be more aware of it and Shawn knows that we know about it so hopefully you have to trust people. This was something I was made aware of, and I wanted to bring to the Board and let the Board know that the corporation is getting a little extra money from us.
Mr. Winfree: I think we need to look at the contract because depending on whether we did it by hours, days or by task because we could just say we want these jobs done by Santos.
Mr. Morgan: He is supposed to put in x amount of hours. Mr. Winfree: We need to know what the contract says.
Mr. Morgan: The contract says he needs to put in x amount of hours. Mike, can you bring that next time?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I will look at it and send it to the manager.
Mr. Morgan: The other thing, can you pull up those pictures, Patrick of the lake? Probably ten or fifteen years ago the Board adopted a policy of no floatation devices in our lakes. So, what happened was that people were putting out there chlorine bottles, and some people put nice things like geese-looking type floatation devices. We started a policy I believe that is one and there could be second one, but they are starting to pop up. I just wanted to make aware of that so Pat, this is at Lake Hallie straight away past that fountain out there. What you could do is go by and make contact with that resident and make them aware of that. That is what it looks like to me. There is a floatation device that looks like a goose or whatever it might be. We adopted this policy of no visible floatation devices, and it is pretty well abided by.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It is a rule that we adopted. I do remember it. It was adopted by resolution, Pat.

Mr. Morgan: If we can make contact with that resident and we can resolve that. What happens is somebody else who has a problem with one of their pumps, they had put a propane tank out there or a chlorine bottle or what it is. This is our waterway, and our waterways need to be pristine. That is what the Board agreed to all those years ago. We made a resolution for that. This is in violation so I wanted to bring that to Pat’s attention and maybe he can have it resolved. The other thing I wanted to throw up to Skip and maybe Barry, can you pull up those other pictures. This is the crosswalk that we are talking about. There is numerous broken pavers, they are unlevel, just sanding them and pressure cleaning them, Pete Grosser, the guy that is right on this side of it says every time the cars, because of the unevenness of it all, the cars makes a noise. He was complaining to me about the noise and him, and his wife can’t sleep at night. You can see they are all crooked in there and stuff like that. We could put lipstick on a pig, but my question is to the other Board members we have three or four pallets of unused bricks. I don’t know how many is in a pallet.
Mr. Szozda: I will have to see how many square feet it is.
Mr. Morgan: If you could mark this off and figure it out and then we can have maybe the Foundation, I think owns them, they could donate them to the District or donate them to the project. This Board can pay for the labor, and we can get a new walkway with new bricks. This area right here takes a ton of abuse because the cement on each side and the amount of traffic that goes over it daily. A lot of them are broken and chipped and they are all slanted. If possible we could do a serpentine or is that more a square block. We can do a serpentine pattern which everybody knows now that is the strongest locking mechanism. We can redo this if we have the pavers. Since Barry, are you on the Foundation Board?
Mr. Winfree: No.
Mr. Morgan: Your wife is. We could approach the Foundation Board to donate if there is enough extra or we can even buy it and make this a better amenity for people to cross the street.
Mr. Carney: The Foundation did the installation here? Mr. Morgan: I think the CDD did the original installation.

Mr. Winfree: There are other bricks that are not the same as them. They are for the wall bricks.
Mr. Morgan: If there is three pallets or three and a half pallets as I counted as of this morning under the powerlines, if the Foundation donated them we have about two pallets of brick that we could blend. They are the same type of brick. It could be just a little different color maybe but we could blend them in and make it a new walkway.
Mr. Winfree: By this picture it looks like, I don’t know if they are asphalt or painted asphalt but that looks like where some of the noise is coming from. As soon as you hit that with the front tires, not the pavers when you hit that white is where I hear it more.
Mr. Morgan: This is two concrete beams twelve inches down and you can see they are not level. That bottom left corner if you pull that up there is an inch or so. That is what I am saying. Everything needs to be taken out and it needs to be leveled like you did on our streets. We did the three main entrances of the Estates.
Mr. Winfree: You don’t have to hit the pavers. Most of the noise, try it when you go across, comes as soon as you hit that white. You here that boom, boom.
Mr. Morgan: Regardless of the noise the pavers are in deplorable condition. We did the front entrance. This needs to be undated. I am just saying we could possibly work it where we can make this an improvement.
Mr. Carney: Pat, get some numbers on how many square feet it is and see if we have enough.
Mr. Morgan: We have three and a half under the power line and we have two or three pallets in the pump house that we moved. That is about five or six pallets where we can fix something really nice here.
Mr. Carney: Sounds like a lot.
Mr. Morgan: It might be, I don’t know.
Mr. Carney: Is that painted or is that yellow pavers? Mr. Burgess: I think it is painted.
Mr. Winfree: Is that rubber stuff? Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Carney: I think they are pavers.

Mr. Morgan: We have enough Board members here that are connected with the HOA and the Foundation where we can possibly make this an improvement. Instead of sanding it like Pat said it was scheduled to be cleaned and sanded I think or at least cleaned; we can make it a better amenity for our residents to walk across.
Mr. Carney: The HOA has 600 square feet leftover. See if that matches up here.
Mr. Morgan: That plus the Foundation if they would donate them we could mix them together. It would be a different blend.
Mr. Winfree: See what we have. There is another stored pallet stored on Anzco property right now.
Mr. Morgan: Oh, ok.
Mr. Winfree: Keep in mind they are bricks not pavers. Mr. Morgan: These are clay bricks.
Mr. Winfree: Ok.
Mr. Morgan: Pavers are generally real thin. These right here were clay bricks the same as the main entrance maybe a little color shade difference. We can get working on that.
Mr. Carney: What else? Mr. Morgan: That is it.
Mr. Carney: Pat, are you on that? Mr. Szozda: Yes, sir.
Mr. Carney: Rob?
Mr. Shipe: I know last year we did an annual bonus for the GMS staff members. This will probably be the last meeting before Christmas so I think we should discuss whether we are going to do that again this year.
Mr. Morgan: Mike usually draws something up for us that is read at the meeting. Mr. Pawelczyk: I can do that.
Mr. Morgan: Bonuses for extra work that was done and phone calls at nighttime and when Patrick comes out at night time when I call him.
Mr. Shipe: Do we want to do that now or at the December meeting?

Mr. Pawelczyk: You all can approve it now if you would like. We can do the same thing that we did last time just in case you don’t have the December meeting. It is really up to you guys.
Mr. Carney: Let’s do it now.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think just a motion to approve the same increases called the holiday increase that we approved last year for the GMS staff.
Mr. Morgan: For Julio, Pat and Patrick. So moved.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor, a motion authorizing a holiday increase the same as last year for Julio Padilla, Patrick Burgess and Pat Szozda was approved.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I will prepare that for the Chair to sign off on it. Mr. Padilla: I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Mr. Carney: You are welcome. Mr. Shipe: That is all I have.
Mr. Carney: Zaida, do you have anything? Ms. Karnegis: I do not.
Mr. Carney: Thank you, Barry? Mr. Winfree: I am good.
Mr. Morgan: I have one other thing if you don’t mind. Have you acquired from BrightView regarding the poinsettias this year?
Mr. Szozda: That is already taken care of. I told them basically the first of December so probably in a week.
Mr. Morgan: Ok, great.
Mr. Szozda: There is 16. We are going to put 8 each side.
Mr. Carney: The red and while flowers look nice and when they start popping a little bit they will look nice.
Mr. Szozda: When they fill in they should be awesome.

Mr. Carney: The front entrance doesn’t have water, but it looks good. Ok I guess a motion to adjourn. Before we adjourn, Miss you came in a little bit late is there anything you would like to say?
A resident: No.
Mr. Carney: Ok, just wanted to give you the opportunity.
Mr. Torres: So just before what was your answer about my question?
Mr. Szozda: We are going to have to take a look at it. We have an engineer on staff that will go out there with me. We will make a determination.
Mr. Torres: Ok I just wanted to be clear.
Mr. Carney: Do you have a card you can give this gentleman?
Mr. Pawelczyk: I gave him Pat and Julio’s email. He is going to email the survey to you.
Mr. Carney: These three gentleman they manage the District for us, Julio, Pat and Patrick. You will be hearing from them.
Mr. Torres: Thank you very much.
Mr. Carney: You’re welcome. Thank you for coming. Motion to adjourn.
