FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comment
Mr. Carney: Public comment section, Debi?

Ms. Delvin: Nothing.
Mr. Carney: Do you have anything sir? Chris Kapish?
Mr. Kapish: I have a couple of questions about the main entrance a safety issue and it has been in disrepair for four years. What is the District doing to make it safe so kids don’t fall into it and get hurt?
Mr. Carney: Where are you referring to, the main entrance? Mr. Kapish: Yes.
Mr. Carney: That is the question that you have? Mr. Kapish: Yes. That is the question.
Mr. Carney: Do you have anything else? Mr. Kapish: Can you answer that question?
Mr. Carney: We don’t answer questions. It is not a Q & A. It is a comment section. Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t think the Board can answer those questions anyway.
Mr. Carney: Because it is in litigation, you are right we can’t answer that question. Mr. Pawelczyk: If there is a safety issue out there it should be looked at by management. Management can go look at the fountain and see if there is a safety issue or risk issue and if there is a risk out there, they can limit the risk. It doesn’t need to go to the Board. If Chris thinks there is a safety issue you should go out and look at it. Pat can go out and look at it and see if there is a safety issue. I don’t know the answer but there shouldn’t be because whether there is water in the fountain or not no one is
supposed to be walking on top of the fountain and could possibly fall in.
Mr. Carney: The fountain is dry, but I know it has algae buildup. I think Pat was taking care of that. Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: The flagpoles actually going back to the safety issue since everything, the Nativity Set, the Menorah was set up in front it became an attraction and a nuisance attraction. A mother was taking pictures of it and a little kid almost fell into it so that is the safety issue.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Like I said you can look at it and see if there is a risk. If we have to put up a sign when we put that stuff out there, Do Not Climb on entrance feature we will just have to add another sign if that is an issue. It is one of those things I don’t know if

you necessarily need a sign for it. Maybe it just needs to be placed out there when you put the holiday decorations up. Take a look at it.
Mr. Carney: What else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: The flagpoles that were taken out by cars I guess they were destroyed and thrown away. The flagpoles have sleeves that are in the ground. Now if those sleeves are damaged in any way the new flagpoles will not fit in those sleeves properly and maybe even be crooked. I was wondering if we ordered new sleeves for those flagpoles because it is an insurance claim. If it is put in there crooked.
Mr. Szozda: I was out there when the flagpole was inspected, and he told me according to him and he is the expert that those sleeves are perfectly fine.
Mr. Carney: Anything else Chris?
Mr. Kapish: Do you want to update us on your Sunshine Law charges that you
have?
Mr. Carney: Do you have anything else other than that?
Mr. Kapish: There is a lot of constituents and neighbors that are asking about it
and I want to be able to tell them what you have to say about that?
Mr. Carney: Will that be your last item?
Mr. Kapish: So you are not going to answer the question? Mr. Carney: Clarence what do you have?
Mr. Kapish: So that means you are not going to answer the question. That means you don’t have anything to say. That means you don’t really care to tell people because you are not transparent.
Mr. Carney: Clarence do you have anything?
Mr. Lohman: On behalf of the Foundation, we continue to see some good results with the efforts to get the commercial properties to do a little more cleaning up the properties. We have had some good results. It is taking shape. We requested a lot of the basic stuff, but they took it a little further. They painted the building, cleaned the parking lot up, and stripped it. Their roof has the black tile on it. They tried to do something with it but couldn’t do it, so they have it on the agenda to replace it. The Rebel gas station has cleaned up the landscaping and mulched a lot of places that were never mulched before. It looks good. They pressure cleaned. We have had some decent results from people.

The Target Shopping Center has been a little bit of a wrestling match, but they have started doing work. There has been a bunch of landscaping go on. That was one of our requests that they upgrade and refurbish their landscaping, landscape beds in the parking lot, and stuff like so they have started that. They did some pressure cleaning. We had a meeting with them today and we went over a lot. Naturally everybody has their opinion, but some are different, some of them not, but they are working. If you get a chance go through and like I said if you look at the entrances and if you looked at them real close; I don’t know how much people pay attention to them but there was always a bunch of trash around, no landscaping and bunch of old signs when they had grand openings, anyway we have the ball rolling.
Mr. Carney: You have a lot of traction going on over there. It is starting to look really good.
Mr. Lohman: I think in a month or two at the most it should be the main thing that is going to hold them up which they complained they can’t do right away is the awning. The awnings that got torn up in the storm they are saying that they can’t do that, but I told them that Urban Air the place out on Sample they had awnings torn up and everything like that and within two weeks they had them replaced totally looking good. It can be done. Anyway, I am happy with where we are at. We are seeing some results. Like I said inside of two months that shopping center should look a thousand percent better and more representative of our neighborhood.
Mr. Carney: Good.
Mr. Morgan: Clarence, I have noticed I am in the plaza about five days a week you are actually right the pavers have been pressure washed, which is a big improvement. Landscaping was removed and new landscaping is going in. It is really shaping up you are right about that. The only thing I was going to ask, and you addressed it at the end, is the awnings are original to the shopping center, and they have been torn up for probably three or five years. If they are working on it great because they are really a big distractor.
Mr. Lohman: Yes, there is a violation issued and that is there main thing today was well we don’t know. I want to know when it is going to be done. We started this process; notices went out in October. We have given them time. We have worked with them and

done whatever. It is just like tell me when you are going to do that and they said that they couldn’t.
Mr. Morgan: The plaza is looking much better.
Mr. Lohman: They did do the curbs and everything, but they still haven’t done the paver sidewalks which look bad. They have done some sidewalks.
Mr. Morgan: They pressure washed the paver sidewalks in front of Panera. I noticed that.
Mr. Lohman: Like I said there is two entities in there, CH Reality owns four properties and Target and the rest of shopping center like AutoZone, 7/11, the Chevron station, those are all separate entities, and they don’t do that. That is why I say it is not going to happen overnight, but I think we are making a big improvement.
Mr. Carney: Weren’t there some businesses that weren’t going to do this for a couple of years?
Mr. Lohman: Yes there were three businesses in there that weren’t even on the books that I guess we let slide for a long time. That is it. Thank you.
Mr. Carney: Thank you very much. You guys are doing a great job over there.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of the Minutes of the
November 25, 2024 Meeting
Mr. Carney: The next item is the approval of the minutes of the November 25, 2024 meeting. I know it seems like a decade ago. Do I have a motion?

On MOTION by Mr. Winfree seconded by Mr. Morgan with all in favor, the Minutes of the November 25, 2024 Meeting were approved.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of	Resolution
#2025-05 Designating Michael J. Pawelczyk as the District’s Registered Agent
Mr. Carney: The next item is the consideration of Resolution #2025-05 Designating Michael J. Pawelczyk as the District’s Registered Agent.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I will just explain this real quick. Chapter 189/190 requires that a District have a registered agent number one. That registered agent for many years has been Dennis Lyles in my firm. Dennis has retired and is not doing much anymore. He is not in the office very often. We are changing the registered agent in all of our Districts to me. The registered office will still be our office. That is all this resolution does unless anyone has any questions. GMS will notify the State of Florida, the City of Coral Springs and Broward County of this change should we adopt this resolution.
Mr. Carney: Do we need a motion for this?
Mr. Pawelczyk: A motion to adopt Resolution #2025-05.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Ms. Karnegis with all in favor, Resolution #2025-05 Designating Michael J. Pawelczyk as the District’s Registered Agent was approved.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney – Consider Scheduling Attorney Client Session for Turtle Run CDD v. Anzco, Inc. and The Tamara Peacock Company Architects of Florida, Inc., Case No. CACE – 2020-019116
Mr. Pawelczyk: This isn’t really my report, but I am going to take it. Julio asked me to do this because he is the one that is working with your special counsel on litigation regarding the entry walls. I think at the last meeting Matthew I don’t know if he was on the phone or Julio reported it, I can’t remember but they expect that there is going to be a mediation likely in April or May. We are jumping in front of this. As some of you may recall every once in a while, we have to have a close-door session to discuss pending litigation. The notice in there proposes that closed door session would be at the March 31 meeting at 6:00 p.m. What we will do is we will open up our regular meeting at 6:00 p.m. or we can change it to a different time. In other words we can do it at 5:45 if you want. We would have to advertise a special meeting. Basically the public has to leave while we conduct this special session and then we will allow them back in afterwards to discuss matters that are only related to the pending litigation, anything your special counsel wants to discuss with you. The only people allowed in the room would be myself, special counsel, the Board and the District manager and the court reporter. Just to explain for

those of you that haven’t gone through this before once the litigation is over that transcript from the court reporter then becomes subject to public disclosure. The public can request it if they want to see it. That is all this notice is, and we are just asking for the Board to schedule that in advance so that we can get it noticed timely. As you can see we have plenty of time to do this. I think Matthew Fornaro wants to make sure we have it on the schedule so he can schedule his time to be here for that. He is ok with March 31st and secondly so he can schedule a mediation with the other parties for some time after this closed-door session.
Mr. Carney: So right now we are looking at March 31st is what you are saying? Mr. Pawelczyk: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: Would it be easier to do it after? Mr. Pawelczyk: We can do it after.
Mr. Winfree: That way the public can leave and then as much as we need.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That is fine. We can schedule it for 6:30 or 7:00. That is a good point. I was thinking as I was explaining how inconvenient it would be for people to step out and wait in their cars and come back. We can schedule it for some time after. We could schedule it for 6;30 but the problem is that once it is at 6:30 we need to have it at 6:30. So if you want to do it at 7:00, our meetings usually last an hour.
Mr. Winfree: It has to be at a defined time? You can’t just stay after the meeting? Mr. Pawelczyk: You want to have it at 7:00.
Mr. Carney: That sounds good.
Mr. Winfree: I think 7:00 is probably the safest all the way around. Mr. Carney: I agree.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Ok. What I will do is revise this notice to indicate that it will be at 7:00. We don’t need a motion for this. We will just advertise it as long as this fits with your schedule. It is your regular meeting schedule.
Mr. Carney: Ok, that is fine. Anything else?
Mr. Pawelczyk: No. That is really all I had unless you had any questions for me.
Engineer
Mr. Geiger: I don’t really have anything to report outside of I have been working with GMS on the flagpoles and there was some questions on the pavers. Both are

replacements and they swap out of crosswalk pavers at Turtle Run Boulevard. If there are plans needed by the city we are going to go ahead, and I will get those in order. I did send GMS the old flagpole plans. There hasn’t been any indication I think yet that the city is one way or the other concerning this be a project or maintenance.
Mr. Burgess: Yes, not yet.
Mr. Geiger: If they need something signed and sealable we will go ahead and furnish that again and if they need any revisions to that for whatever reason I will take care of that. The same with the pavers. I feel that it is going to be maybe the swap out or the maintenance before where the city might just need to see an overview or some MOT notes. As soon as this stuff gets approved if they reach out to me I can go ahead and assist with that.
Mr. Morgan: You went out to the flagpoles?
Mr. Geiger: I went out there after they got hit and before the base of the poles were removed.
Mr. Morgan: Was any electrical damaged on the lights?
Mr. Geiger: I don’t know if they were damaged by that or if there was other issues with them. I know I did have Keith from Eagle Group call me to get confirmation on the model number to replace the two LED lights out there, something with the seals or something.
Mr. Szozda: Yes, those lights I don’t think were functioning normally anyways.
According to his opinion they were not damaged, it was more or less age.
Mr. Geiger: There was water getting in those prior. I know this happened with the lights at the other flagpole location as well a while back.
Mr. Szozda: It is age-related with those lights.
Mr. Geiger: I don’t think he is going to need anything from us, but I did give them the electrical plans. He put the lights in at Cypress Pointe for us, so they are the same lights, same audible.
Mr. Morgan: Ok so you are ordering new ones, and they are going to be installed
also.
Mr. Szozda: We are going to get new lights and just redo everything. Mr. Morgan: All three of them?

Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: Ok, great.
Mr. Geiger: I think he might need a letter from either me or the electrical engineer. He had a hard time getting those lights for Cypress Pointe, but I am hoping that issue has since been resolved.
Field Manager
Annual Maintenance Plan
Consideration of:
Proposal with F&K Pavers to Repair Paver Crosswalk on Turtle Run Blvd.
Price Increase with Shamrock Pools Services, Inc. for Roundabout Fountain Maintenance
Mr. Szozda: Just a couple things on the maintenance plan. Obviously, we are going to be changing out the flags tomorrow on the poles that are still existing. We actually had brand new flags up there but then when President Carter passed away we took them down. Now tomorrow being the 28th all new flags will be flying at the main entrance tomorrow. I just wanted to let everybody know that CDI was out there on January 2nd and had all the Christmas ornaments and lights removed also per contract. The next thing I would add is the paver proposal from F&K Pavers to do the Crosswalk just west of the school. The one crosswalk has never been replaced I believe.
Mr. Carney: The Estates Board of Directors agreed to donate the extra pavers left over from the roadway project of approximately 550 square feet. They would be purchasing an additional 400 square feet to finish the job.
Mr. Morgan: Oh we need more? There wasn’t enough. Ok.
Mr. Carney: Yes, you need another 400. Is there anything that has to be done here Mike in order to make the transfer?
Mr. Pawelczyk: What is going on?
Mr. Carney: The Estates is donating leftover pavers from the roadway projects to the CDD to do their walkway. Is there anything that needs to be done or just pick them up?
Mr. Pawelczyk: We don’t need anything but if the Estates want something we can do a donation, a one-page thing.

Mr. Morgan: The Estates or I guess the Foundation or whoever and the CDD are in that agreement together correct? In reference to the roadway pavers?
Mr. Pawelczyk: Not really. The only thing the CDD does is our responsibility was just if the Estates didn’t do what it was supposed to do.
Mr. Carney: So basically just come pick them up.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I will just put something together. It will take two minutes. Just a donation of 550 square feet of pavers.
Mr. Carney: The Estates has no storage anyways.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The only thing that the Board should do is would be a motion to accept the donation of approximately 550 square feet of pavers from the Estates roadway project.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor, a motion to accept the donation of approximately 550 square feet of pavers from the Estates roadway project was approved.

Mr. Szozda: I have a proposal I think everybody has it in front of them to install 4 Christmas palms at the entrances.
Mr. Carney: We didn’t vote on the pavers.
Mr. Szozda: Oh, ok. The paver repair is $5,467.
Mr. Winfree: Does that include the donation or was this after the donation? Mr. Szozda: After the donation.
Mr. Morgan: That is installation and everything right? Mr. Szozda: Correct.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in a favor, a proposal from F&K Pavers in the amount of
$5,467 for paver repair of crosswalk on Turtle Run Boulevard was approved.

Mr. Szozda: Back to the addition of Christmas palms to the entrances at 41st and 43rd. I have a proposal for the installation at $5,025.46. That would be two to each side of the entrances so a total of 8 altogether.
Mr. Winfree: I was a little confused. It says entrance of NW 41st? Is there two? Mr. Szozda: 41st and 43rd. He didn’t put that on there.
Mr. Carney: You already talked to the city about the sight line? Mr. Szozda: Yes, they said it was not going to be an issue.
Mr. Carney: Alright. Can I have a motion to approve?

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor,	a proposal from BrightView in the amount of
$5,025.46 to install 8 Christmas palms at 41st Street and 43rd Street entrances was approved.

Mr. Szozda: I just have a few updates here. It has been awhile since we have had a meeting, so the No Trespassing signs, 3 of them have been installed in the locations that were previously mentioned. They look great. They are pretty much out of the sight lines, but they are noticeable when they need to be. The fountain pump at Lake Rachel has been replaced so that fountain at the roundabout is fully functional. As you know we had gumbo limbo removed in Turtle Creek that lost a limb, so the tree was in decline. We had the whole tree removed. The pump station that we recently had maintenance done by Hoover and they are up and functioning normally. The last thing I have on a bit of bad news unfortunately is we have an issue with mosaic virus which is a turf virus that is concentrated on Creekside. The bad news is that there is no cure for this virus. The good news is we think we caught it early enough. Rusty just had a sample tested down in Homestead and they came back positive unfortunately so we will do a total analyst of the property Wednesday and be in touch with BrightView and figure out what our next steps are moving forward.
Mr. Carney: What else do you have? Mr. Szozda: That is everything.
Mr. Carney: Something about Shamrock? Mr. Szozda: That was the $10 a month.

Mr. Winfree: It didn’t say in there what the old one was. Mr. Carney: Right.
Mr. Winfree: So it was only a $10 increase? Mr. Szozda: $10 a month. We never verified it.
Mr. Morgan: So they come out twice a week now? Mr. Szozda: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: They only want $10 a month? Mr. Winfree: More.
Mr. Morgan: Trump economy already working, wow.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You would need a motion approving an amendment to the agreement providing for that increase.

On MOTION by Mr. Morgan seconded by Mr. Winfree with all in favor, an amendment to the Shamrock Pools Services, Inc. agreement for a price increase of $10 a month for fountain maintenance was approved.

Manager – Progress Report
Mr. Carney: The next thing on the agenda is the progress report. In the past we have kind of skimmed over the progress report. I think we need to pay a little more attention to it. A lot of work goes into developing this form along with the work put into the projects mentioned. Barry would you take the lead on that please?
Mr. Winfree: The tennis courts with the pickle ball conversion is there anything? Is Cindy working on that? Any updates?
Mr. Carney: The latest as you can see they poured the fountain for the playset. They are waiting for the playset to come in. It should be here shortly. The pickle ball courts and the tennis courts they are waiting for approval from Broward County and the School District to give them moral support. They don’t give any money. They give moral support. They are waiting for approval from them. Once they get that they already have approximately $100,000 put aside to be able to do that project. That is kind of where we are right now. It is a waiting game still but at least things are starting to move forward. As you can see they took down the dugouts, the field is changing. They are going to take out

all the red clay. It is going to be regular turf not artificial. Then we take it little by little. That was the latest I got from Lou. The ballfield renovation is ongoing. The next stage is the removal of clay infield. The school tennis court renovation is pending approval of the school district and the city.
Mr. Winfree: At least they are moving. Flock Safety anything on that? Mr. Carney: We haven’t gone anywhere with it to be honest with you.
Mr. Winfree: The City of Coral Springs agreement I am assuming that is for the
$65,000 did we ever get anything back from the city on that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: What I know is that there was an email that Julio exchanged with their parks director who was on vacation that said let me look at that and I will get back to you. I know they are looking at it. I think there was another email where they said, well ok we will change it to April 1st and Julio correctly responded to that I believe that said, no we want to make sure that it is in. We don’t want to have to amend it again. We are waiting on the city. That is what I know. Julio asked me to report on that as well.
Mr. Winfree: The next one is BrightView and Santos increase. I thought we handled that last year. I am kind of surprised to see that on there.
Mr. Szozda: That should have been addressed. Mr. Winfree: We completed all that.
Mr. Carney: Yes. That was a while back.
Mr. Morgan: Just a little footnote to that. Santos complained to me a few weeks ago that BrightView promised him two weeks’ vacation after ten years. He reached his ten years and guess what no two-week vacation. Nothing we can do for you there. That is between you and the company. I can’t understand it.
Mr. Carney: Pat out of courtesy just ask Randy out of courtesy to Santos, please.
Mr. Szozda: After Lance had that discussion I asked him about it, and he took a week off over Christmas. He said he was fine.
Mr. Carney: If that’s what he was promised, if it is in the file they need to do that. Mr. Morgan: That is between him and BrightView.
Mr. Carney: I know that but out of courtesy just a reminder and say listen can you look into this that is all.

Mr. Winfree: Cypress Pointe usage of the District logo. Nothing back yet from the way it looks?
Mr. Carney: Nothing back yet. Just before Julio went out he asked me for who the contact person was over there. I think I forwarded that to him. I think that is in the process.
Mr. Winfree: The installation of four poles for Hidden Lake. They are now supposed to be in February 15 so somewhere after that they should all be taken care of. There has been some discussion going back and forth that now the city wants permits and drawings and everything else. There will probably be some bills coming in for that. The visible lake floating devices, is there anything out there? I saw one.
Mr. Szozda: There is a few of which we need a little help from the Homeowners Association to just blast out there. I can get them removed but as a courtesy we should let them know.
Mr. Carney: Each HOA should take care of their own I would guess.
Mr. Morgan: Actually there is a policy we made about ten years ago where no floating devices to be visible like the fake ducks. What happened about ten or twelve years ago, Mike can vouch for this people started putting Clorox bottles the pool chlorine bottles the yellow ones and they were putting in all kinds of devices and they were sinking. We adopted that policy years ago. There is a homeowner I was going to ask Pat about this tonight that lives in the Estate section kind over by your house. I think it might be somewhere around that guy that has the wishing well. I am not sure it is his house. I am just saying it somewhere along those stretch of houses there is a duck sitting out there or some type of device. I looks like it might be a geese type of thing.
Mr. Carney: That is our policy. They are our lakes, so it is within your right to knock on their door and let them know what to do.
Mr. Morgan: If not maybe Patrick or Julio can send out a letter. Mr. Pawelczyk: Management can send a letter. Just look at rules.
Mr. Kapish: The original rule made by the Board they are not allowed to have anything. There is a device that they can make out of a pipe that lets it float. In fact you don’t see anything. That was the policy ten years ago and there is a lot of them out there now. They are all over the place. The lakes are all controlled by the District. That was the policy then and hasn’t changed.

Mr. Szozda: There is a handful. There is not an overabundance. Mr. Morgan: I know of two of them.
Mr. Winfree: There is a handful.
Mr. Pawelczyk: If you don’t address them now.
Mr. Carney: Can we just draft out a letter and send it out to the ones that are violating? I think that is all you need to do. Just get the address of all the people violating and we send them a letter.
Mr. Morgan: You might want to knock on the door and tell them and say that they will be getting a formal letter. Give them notice then when they get the formal letter they have been warned twice.
Mr. Carney: Most people will take care of it.
Mr. Winfree: Most of it is people just don’t know. Mr. Morgan: It could be a new homeowner.
Mr. Winfree: The erosion issues did anyone go out and look at those on 6355 30th? Mr. Carney: Jonathan? Pat?
Mr. Szozda: There is an easement there, but I don’t think it is the District’s responsibility to maintain those areas.
Mr. Geiger: This is the one by the canal, the headwall with the erosion?
Mr. Szozda: No, the headwall has been taken care of it is the one on the other side of the lake we looked at.
Mr. Torres: I am just trying to follow up on my last visit here about the erosion issue. Somebody was going to get in touch and I never heard from anyone. I am just to see if anything.
Mr. Morgan: Where do you live at?
Mr. Szozda: Your side of the lake I think some individuals had done some work with rip rap. We have seen some rip rap out there. As far as the District, I am not aware of us doing any work over there.
Mr. Kapish: They are not allowed to do that. The District can only do the work.
Mr. Pawelczyk: They can do it. Chris remember we adopted a rule that gave them standards that they could make the improvement. I am pretty sure we did that.

Mr. Kapish: Remember Lance the Baileys they tried to do their own thing and the decision by the Board to do it all themselves otherwise you would have non-uniform look.
Mr. Morgan: The geo-tube all started just to give Board members with Mr. Bailey who lives across from me. He had severe lake bank erosion because he lives on the west side of the street and that wind would wipe through that big lake that he lives on. That is how it started. He was going to remedy himself and he came up with several ideas of rip rap and other mechanisms to cure the problem. That is how the whole thing started, and we realized what severe damage there was on the west side of the lake to those homes. Some of the homes have had three or four feet of erosion which then would vacate our agreement with South Florida Water Management because it didn’t fall into the 4:1 slope I think it was. It was more of a drop-off and that was a problem. That is when we decided, researched it and get the geo-tube fix and we fixed four or five different lakes.
Mr. Kapish: We have fixed some of them. We haven’t fixed any of them for ten years. The ones I guess this gentleman lot none of those have been touched at all.
Mr. Morgan: Mike maybe you know. Under our agreement with South Florida Water Management District it has to be a slope that they are more concerned about then the erosion or how is that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: The permit requires us to keep it at a 4:1 slope. It is a regulation.
That is really for safety purposes on lake banks.
Mr. Morgan: And for every four feet it goes down it can only drop one foot?
Mr. Geiger: It is basically 4:1 for two feet of water control elevation and about 8 feet out.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think if there is an issue out there you should inspect it. There is a means by which I believe that the District approved a rule that says that if you want to do it yourself you can, but you have to follow these guidelines. Often times we are not going to a geo-tube for one property.
Mr. Winfree: Doesn’t make any sense trying to do that.
Mr. Pawelczyk: That is why they put that in place. That is before you all did the geo-tubes at all. You never changed that policy to say you can’t do it.
Mr. Morgan: I was the one that brought this issue because it was my neighbor initially. I don’t think that this Board as far as my recollection I don’t think we would adopt

a policy where one neighbor could have rip rap, and another neighbor could have a different application, and another neighbor could have a different application, and another neighbor could have sea wall that is different from a rip rap because then you would have a hod podge.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Whatever policy you adopted had plans attached to it. Mr. Morgan: I get it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t know if I am remembering this correctly. It has to be 15 years ago.
Mr. Kapish: What you said Lance is correct because it was a uniformity issue.
Mr. Pawelczyk: The uniformity was there it was either one option or two options that they could do to remedy.
Mr. Morgan: We probably let the homeowners do their own geo-tube that might have been an option, but I don’t think we would let them do rip rap.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Geo-tube didn’t exist when you first adopted it or at least it wasn’t
used.
Mr. Carney: So what are we recommending for this gentleman?
Mr. Kapish: People here are paying taxes; I think that is the number one priority
that the District is in charge of is those lakes.
Mr. Pawelczyk: To Lance’s question about the 4:1 slope the only thing the District is required to do is maintain that 4:1 slope. If the lake gets bigger that is not our problem. The lakes purpose is to maintain the stormwater. This District in the past used assessment money, we don’t tax anyone. No taxes are levied by this District. The District only levies Non-Ad Valorem special assessments on the property owners. Those special assessment monies can be used under the powers of the District and Chapter 190 for stormwater management, which would be the lake bank erosion projects you have done over those several lakes in the District so far. Our first obligation is to make sure that you don’t have a dangerous condition out there as a result of erosion. I think this District in the past has inspected the lakes for that particular purpose.
Mr. Morgan: Pat can you go out there to this location and take photographs of east and west, north and south?
Mr. Szozda: We have been out there.

Mr. Morgan: Oh you have. What does it look like to you?
Mr. Szozda: That area the first issue is how far the lakes are down at this point because it is a lot more prevalent now than it would if there was water. That entire stretch is basically in the same condition. One is not any worse than the others. There is some rip rap out there if I do recall.
Mr. Geiger: Yes one of the neighbors.
Mr. Morgan: If somebody put something out there it was unauthorized by this
Board.
Mr. Szozda: There could be a drain there. That is possible. I am not saying there
isn’t. It is pretty uniform that whole stretch of area.
Mr. Morgan: As I remember it and Skip you were on the Board then when we did geo-tube we hired that construction firm, and we thought it was most important to do the lake banks that backed up to residents.
Mr. Carney: We did the lakes we didn’t do the little canals.
Mr. Morgan: We didn’t do the retention ponds underneath the power line. Is this a retention pond here?
Mr. Carney: Yes but there is houses that back up to a canal. Mr. Winfree: That is a canal.
Mr. Carney: Ok, my mistake.
Mr. Morgan: Moving a little bit further west.
Mr. Kapish: We did that part of the lake. We stopped were that corner is. We did that whole section all the way down and I think ends at the second retention pond. That was basically because we opened that up for people to go and relax and be able to sit on the banks.
Mr. Pawelczyk: There was significant erosion there right? Mr. Morgan: Yes. It is on the west side.
Mr. Kapish: The bottom line is we haven’t done anything in ten years. You are going to have issues. I see the issues now.
Mr. Morgan: My point is retention ponds we agreed at the time were functioning as they were designed and since there were no houses on where their yard backed up to them we left them alone. This picture right here shows the Grove and Harbor Island that

received no geo-tubes, correct? And those houses do back up to a lake there and so does the Grove.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You can get prices. There is at least one entity that I know GMS has been pretty successful using.
Mr. Morgan: The company that we used before was good, but they are out of business now.
Mr. Pawelczyk: This new company seems to be doing a pretty good job. GMS uses them. SDS (Special District Services) uses them.
Mr. Burgess: There is a lot of them.
Mr. Morgan: Ok, so you know the companies? Mr. Burgess: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: I would suggest that we go out and inspect that and Patrick brings up photographs and Board members get out there and maybe walk it. You can cut behind the Passive Park and walk through that area and see what you can see over the next month or so and come back and see if that is a candidate in our opinion as the Board if there are a candidate for geo-tube.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I know Land Shore will come out and inspect your property. Mr. Burgess: He has been out here. I met with him.
Mr. Morgan: Why don’t you call him and see if he can come out and inspect it and see if we need it. He is a professional right?
Mr. Pawelczyk: He is also a salesman.
Mr. Morgan: He can maybe make a presentation to us and tell us what we need, and we can start by outlining prices. Nothing says we need to use him. We can get several reports.
Mr. Burgess: We can meet with him and bring it back.
Mr. Morgan: I think you also need to inspect to see if it still meets South Florida Water Management requirements.
Mr. Geiger: Realistically you would want a survey.
Mr. Carney: Pat, are the whole row of homes pretty much the same?

Mr. Szozda: Yes. It is pretty uniform over there. There is no geo-tube down that whole stretch. Again, the water level is at a point where it is more prevalent, what you are seeing obviously.
Mr. Pawelczyk: Now is probably the best time to look at it and see if it is a candidate. Then you can see if you can fund it or how to fund it.
Mr. Morgan: You have geo-tube at your house right? And how is it holding up? Mr. Carney: It has held up real well.
Mr. Morgan: Ok.
Mr. Winfree: So the thing to do about this is get a hold of the company you were talking about and see if they can do an inspection and let us know. It doesn’t mean we have to go with them. If he says it is really in bad shape then we will go out for quotes but at least we start with an inspection.
Mr. Morgan: What they do is they come out with this tube and then run it out and then they have this on it like a barge that sits on the water, and it sucks debris from the bottom of the lake and shoots it up onto it. It drains through the geo-tube and then pins it back and make a big round oval like that. All the dirt is inside this now and the geo-tube goes like this, and they pin it back with pins.
Mr. Winfree: I have seen geo-tubes, but I didn’t know how they do it.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We have seen with a lot of our agreements that we are doing now they are not using anything from the lake they are using their own because it has been proving to work better. I think another aspect is now it could be cheaper just to cart it in.
Mr. Winfree: To do this I noticed I am reading this here is that a survey was to be provided. Do we need a survey, or did you receive a survey? Are they going to need one when they go out to do this?
Mr. Szozda: Jonathan would know the answer to that. Mr. Carney: It is just a visual right now.
Mr. Geiger: A survey is only going to prove if you have the 4:1. Mr. Winfree: It is just written here. I don’t know, I am just asking.
Mr. Geiger: Plot surveys are not going to have Mr. Geiger was inaudible at this
time.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I think you look at a survey if you decide not to do anything out there. If you decide to do something out there they are going to have to build the slope.
Mr. Carney: By the next meeting they should be able to have some answers for
us.
Mr. Kapish: After we did the geo-tube most people had bigger yards.
Mr. Morgan: Some people gained four feet of yard back especially on the west
side.
of the lake.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I think they say this stuff holds up for like 15 to 20 years. Mr. Winfree: Unless somebody runs over it with a car.
Mr. Morgan: Sir, to answer your question we are going to send, Pat are we clear on how we are going to proceed with this? Get the company out there and take a look at it. We will have a presentation hopefully by the next meeting. Is that good Skip?
Mr. Carney: That is fair. Mr. Torres: Thank you.
Mr. Winfree: The next item is the paver serpentine pavers.
Mr. Szozda: That was the labor regarding the crosswalk we already approved. After talking with F&K Paver it is tremendous waste of material once you get into the serpentine. There is a lot more cutting involved. It is square right now that walkway.
Mr. Morgan: The only thing is the serpentine we found out locks them in much
better.
Mr. Geiger: Are you talking about the herringbone pattern? I am not sure what
serpentine is. The District uses the herringbone because I remember it shifts from the direction the cars are traveling and everything. We were told at one point that it does help lock in better but there is more work with cutting. I am actually not sure why that crosswalk wasn’t done that way originally.
Mr. Morgan: I don’t know. I just know that the herringbone is supposed to lock in
better.
Mr. Winfree: The herringbone the interlocking as it goes across makes them a lot
stronger.

Mr. Geiger: It also depends on the shape of the pavers too. I think the square pavers you can get away with something different.
Mr. Winfree: That doesn’t help much in that situation. In this one we already approved of that. That is just an option when we put it down correctly that we would probably put the herringbone in.
Mr. Geiger: Yes that would be the direction to give them, and it is consistent with the rest of the District’s pavers.
Mr. Winfree: Can we close this and just say that we are going to use herringbone when we replace that strip?
Mr. Carney: It is probably going to be an additional cost.
Mr. Szozda: I will address that and if there is an additional cost I will figure out what
it is.
Mr. Morgan: Since it has already been approved if there is additional costs you
have authority to make that just go ahead. Just get it done.
Mr. Carney: I agree.
Mr. Szozda: I can get it done.
Mr. Winfree: The Centurian agreement for the warranty extension I am not sure what that is?
Mr. Szozda: I wish I could comment on that, but I think he disappeared. Mr. Burgess: He is not responding to us for their extended warranty.
Mr. Szozda: That is the copper caps. Mr. Winfree: Ok.
Mr. Morgan: They look good.
Mr. Pawelczyk: He volunteered to give an extended warranty. You didn’t pay anything extra for it.
Mr. Winfree: Coral Springs Police Department investigation updates on the signs.
Anything on that?
Mr. Burgess: No so when we provided what happened we never received direction on what the Board wanted to do. We can take direction on what you guys want to do.
Mr. Winfree: Was there an investigation in the process or what?

Mr. Burgess: No. We were never given direction to do anything additional once we gave our report.
Mr. Winfree: The police department didn’t come back with saying they were looking.
Mr. Burgess: No. They caught the individuals doing it and they gave us the information on them. That was as far as we went with that.
Mr. Winfree: So are we done with it then? Mr. Carney: I think so.
Mr. Winfree: The Turtle Creek flagpole we already talked about.
Mr. Burgess: The 30-foot flagpole is on backorder for 6 to 8 weeks and the 35-foot flagpole is in stock, but they want to anodize them together. Anodizing takes about 10 to 14 weeks. It is a long process. They want to do them together.
Mr. Winfree: So now we are talking about 18 weeks by the time we get them in. Mr. Burgess: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: At least you have one out there standing. Mr. Burgess: We are working with insurance as well.
Mr. Winfree: I am not sure about this next one either. I never heard of this one, the Wiles Road/Creekside Drive pedestrian sign knockdown.
Mr. Burgess: The intersection of Wiles Road and Creekside there is a pedestrian crossing sign that was hit by a vehicle. We have the police report, and we have the price for the replacement. I believe it is a small amount, but the Board’s direction was to replace the signs with the knockdowns and proceed with the replacement. We are working with insurance. I believe it is somewhere around $4,000 so their insurance should cover it.
Mr. Carney: We don’t need to wait for insurance money to come back we just need to get it done.
Mr. Burgess: That is how we are proceeding.
Mr. Winfree: Headwall repair at Hidden Lakes bank is that where the drain came
out?
Mr. Burgess: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: That is completed right? Mr. Burgess: Yes.

Mr. Winfree: You just need to look at that because they put the sod right over the rip rap.
Mr. Szozda: I will look at it. If it gets adequate water.
Mr. Winfree: I am saying that complete and if it dies we will revisit it. Was Lake Sign Progress that the replacement?
Mr. Morgan: They are done.
Mr. Winfree: Is that the No Trespassing signs? Mr. Morgan: Yes.
Mr. Winfree: Ok.
Mr. Morgan: They look good to Pat.
Mr. Winfree: And then Dennis is still pending on what we are going to do. The District insurance I know we did that quite a while back in October. Did we get all that updated since it was due in November? Does anybody know if that actually got back to the insurance company? There was a lot of work put into that, and I just want to make sure it was updated.
Mr. Carney: That would be a Julio question probably.
Mr. Winfree: There was a lot there needing to be done still. Alright unless somebody has something else I think that is complete. That will keep us going there and get some stuff on it closed. What is next?

NINTH 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. We haven’t done much in capital, so we still have
$380,000 in capital funds available for capital projects. We need approval of the check register.

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

Mr. Carney: The budget is always on your iPads to review so it is just an acceptance of unaudited financials. If anybody has any questions, please feel free other than that everything to me looks pretty good. The prorated throws things off a little bit but at the same time everything is right where it is supposed to be.
Mr. Winfree: Do we need a motion on that? Mr. Carney: No we don’t.
TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Mr. Carney: Supervisors requests. I am going to go first here because there is a couple things we have to talk about. I apologize for not putting this on the agenda. Rob do you want to take the lead in Estate sign please if you wouldn’t mind?
Mr. Shipe: The entranceway sign that the CDD built that says The Estates of Turtle Run it is not a bad looking sign but you can’t see it at night and HOA has come up with a new logo so we reached out to Signarama to replace the signage and electrical board on there. I don’t know what kind of agreement the HOA needs with the CDD in order to update that sign.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t know. You will have to send me what you are doing, and I will look at it. I can’t answer that question.
Mr. Carney: What it is the Estates sign the one that says The Estates it was originally constructed by the CDD, but it is the Estates sign. Now the Estates wants to go and turn it into the new logo.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It can’t be the Estates sign if the CDD built it.
Mr. Carney: That is why the Estates is asking the CDD how they need to move forward to change the insert. That is the question.
Mr. Pawelczyk: You have to send me what you are doing, and I will take a look at
it.
Mr. Carney: Rob you will have to send Mike all the information. We don’t need to
have a meeting. He will send it right back to us as soon as he comes up with a solution. Ok, Rob?
Mr. Shipe: Yes, sounds good.

Mr. Carney: The other thing which is a little more complicated. I had asked Mike to do a little research, and he has kind of scratched the surface on it as far as possibly the CDD absorbing the Foundation into the CDD.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I said you can’t do it.
Mr. Carney: Something that hasn’t been done before doesn’t mean we can’t do it, does it?
Mr. Pawelczyk: It does if the statute says you can’t do it. Mr. Carney: I guess that answers my question.
Mr. Morgan: What was the question?
Mr. Pawelczyk: There is a provision in Florida Statutes, and we have talked about this years ago that allows a CDD to enforce declarations and covenants of certain association type entities, but it is very limited on when the CDD can do that. The makeup of what is out there now the CDD cannot take over the Foundation’s responsibilities under that statute.
Mr. Carney: What is the reasoning for that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: Well I am trying to look at my research. The CDD the conditions there is has to be, there is no property other than the Association having enforcement powers which there is now. The CDD was in existence so that qualifies. Less than 25% of the residential units within the District are in a Homeowners Association. You didn’t get back to me on whether that was applicable or not. The declarant under the Declaration of Covenants has provided the CDD with an agreement that such rules should be adopted. The first thing we need to do is to determine whether or not you meet those criteria. There has never been a determination if we do. That is in my email to you on January 15th. I was waiting to hear back from you on that.
Mr. Carney: Ok.
Mr. Pawelczyk: It has something to do with the fact that it is a commercial property that doesn’t allow us to do it.
Mr. Kapish: When the Turtle Run Foundation was reconstituted because it was inactive the attorneys had to reactivate it, and the reason why was the powers for the HOA’s couldn’t be enforced without the Turtle Run Foundation powers from the

enforcement part of the HOA’s comes from the Foundation. I don’t know how you would be mixing apples and oranges.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I don’t know either.
Mr. Carney: This community Turtle Run was on the verge, we had a little bit of overspending going on in certain categories of Turtle Run and I don’t think this community, we were on the urge of spending over $600,000 on unapproved projects. I think we as community leaders can never allow that to happen again and I think the CDD would have more control over what is going on here. Fortunately half of it was secured due to a couple of elections that took place. We secured $300,000 of that money. That is my reason for bringing it up. I think it is a good reason. That is pretty much it. That is all I had. Barry?
Mr. Winfree: I have a couple of things. I will start with the easy one first. I have been driving through Turtle Run now for a few years and I noticed that right in front of the Grove there is that patch that looks like it has been repaired a few times. There has been a hole there ever since we have lived here just about.
Mr. Carney: Pat you are familiar with that right?
Mr. Szozda: Yes we had them out there and they never addressed. I forgot the reason they wouldn’t do the one on Tortoise.
Mr. Winfree: On Tortoise Way the north bound is really bad. The coming in is starting to get bad just in the same way.
Mr. Carney: I think Pat has addressed that before. I think you need to follow through on that Pat.
Mr. Szozda: Yes, we will revisit that. They had fixed one of them and then they totally ignored the one by the Grove. There was a reason that Tortoise Way and I don’t know if it was a DOT thing because there is turn lane markers there. We will revisit that. Mr. Winfree: And then the one in front of the Grove. The one in front of the Grove coming from the north looks like there is a spring or something or something is coming up and it looks more like a freezing which I know we don’t have done here. It just looks like it keeps coming back. It looks like there has been two patches put over it from what I
can see. Something is not working. Mr. Carney: I agree with that.

Mr. Morgan: You are talking about the asphalt right? Mr. Winfree: Yes.
Mr. Morgan: What happens is when they get a load of asphalt from the city asphalt is applied at what degree Jonathan? 1,000? 800 degrees?
Mr. Geiger: I couldn’t tell you.
Mr. Morgan: Asphalt is very hot, and it gets applied with great pressure. The city when they patch the holes they have 100-degree asphalt or maybe 150 and they come out and they put it in the hole if it is hot at all and they take these tappers and they tap it down and it is not a permanent application. It is a temporary application, so the asphalt goes back up. It is not adhered properly to each other, and it is not adhered to the ground properly and it kicks back up over a certain amount of time. The holes continue to be like that. We originally put that road in. If we want to repair it, the CDD we can possibly do it and do it right. If you rely on the city to do, that is why we mow our own medians Barry. I don’t know if you know that you probably do but the medians are actually the city’s property. We are in agreement with the city to take care of the medians because their medians just drive down Sample Road you will see what I am talking about. We take care of them at a much better quality than what the city does. That is why we hire BrightView or whoever we hire to take care of that.
Mr. Winfree: I am in full agreement because that one looks like it is not just a patch. Mr. Morgan: On Tortoise?
Mr. Winfree: Yes. That one is really bad.
Mr. Morgan: I don’t know if we did the work on Tortoise or not. Mr. Winfree: That looks more like a grind and redo.
Mr. Morgan: There are weak areas.
Mr. Winfree: It has been there a while, and it is time.
Mr. Carney: Pat reach out to the city and at the same time just get a quote and what it would cost.
Mr. Szozda: Ok.
Mr. Winfree: My second item like you said we have taken over medians, we do all the entrances and everything that are all owned by the city. We do all along Sample Road. One area that we don’t do very well is the one that is across Wiles and then comes down

441. That is kind of a mixture of city property, state property, county property and private. I don’t know if we can easements for state and county or not but the worst it looks is that corner where the state cuts the grass maybe once every six weeks and normally it is about that high and starting to die off.
Mr. Carney: Pat are you familiar with the area?
Mr. Szozda: Yes, absolutely. They have it torn in pieces right now.
Mr. Carney: Mas Tech is in there drilling. So if we are going to fix anything this isn’t the time to do it.
Mr. Winfree: I am not talking about fixing. This isn’t something that I think we just take over and say next we are going to start doing it. This is going to take some time to figure out a plan of what needs to be done, what permits need to be done and what easements need to be done.
Mr. Pawelczyk: There will be no easements you just have an agreement with that entity, an interlocal agreement that says the CDD will maintain.
Mr. Kapish: The CDD actually owns very little to no property there for your information.
Mr. Winfree: It owns a lot of property.
Mr. Kapish: No it doesn’t. People think that but it is actually not.
Mr. Winfree: I think we are doing a heck of job from the Foundation side doing the inside of the shopping center and the outside there is trash. The grass is over a foot high. The landscaping is dying. Nobody does anything with it. If we are going to be for CDD for Turtle Run let’s start doing it all. Let’s start getting the outside all the way around.
Mr. Carney: I think we need to look at that. I know the Foundation is working on it but Burlington Coat Factory.
Mr. Winfree: If we can get the perimeter done there maybe we can come in and do something at Burlington.
Mr. Carney: I think Clarence is working on their area.
Mr. Winfree: Some of that is on city property. I agree the Foundation is working on the inside. You don’t see it as flooded or as dirty as it used to be either. Those were my two items.
Mr. Morgan: I have nothing, thank you.

Mr. Carney: Zaida?
Ms. Karnegis: Today I sent a letter to Julio and the letter was a resignation letter, so I am going to go ahead and read it. It says please accept this note as my official resignation from the Turtle Run CDD, Seat #3, effective immediately after on Monday, January 27, 2025 Board meeting. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve on the Board and contribute to the vision and growth of the CDD. I am resigning because of the sale of my Turtle Run residency and subsequent relocation out of the State of Florida.
Mr. Carney: You got a good job with TSA, congratulations. Mr. Morgan: You did a good job, thank you very much.
Mr. Pawelczyk: We should have a motion accepting if someone wants to make that motion accepting Zaida’s resignation.

On MOTION by Ms. Karnegis seconded by Mr. Morgan with all in favor, acceptance of the resignation letter from Zaida Karnegis from the Board of Supervisors of Turtle Run CDD was approved.

Mr. Pawelczyk: I assume you want to put something on the Board meeting for the next meeting to discuss how you are going to go about replacing Zaida. There is no rush to do it although the statute does say you have to take action to really move forward to do it. Obviously you want to fill the seat as soon as you can.
Mr. Carney: Well we have a process, and we will go through the process like we did last time.
Mr. Pawelczyk: I guess in the meantime if anyone is interested in this position they can send their interest to the District manager’s office so you can start compiling that.
Mr. Winfree: Do we have to put anything out for that?
Mr. Pawelczyk: You can do whatever you want. You can’t do it today, but you walk into the next meeting and move to appoint somebody to fill that seat.
Mr. Carney: Anything else? You just dropped a bomb. Can I have a motion to adjourn the meeting please?

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

On MOTION by Mr. Winfree seconded by Mr. Shipe with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned.

Assistant Secretary/Secretary	Chairman/Vice Chairman
