SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
Mr. Gerard Nicholson stated I've been notified by quite a few people about the landscaping and the grass cutting being switched over from one company to another. Apparently  it was cut on the 26t h    but we're  going on day 13 and they haven't  been  back yet. It's not like they're missing one spot. I've driven a lot of the neighborhood.
Mr. Soriano stated every zone in Double Branch was cut last week. Mr. Horton asked where are you seeing this?
Mr. Nicholson stated Worthington Oaks around the playground.
Mr. Horton stated I saw your Facebook comment and looked the other day. It was a  little high but I thought it was reasonable for all the rain we've gotten.
Mr. Soriano stated with rain, especially this month, we went from the month before getting calls from stuff not growing because of the drought to the next month we're actually

getting rain and things are growing well. We obviously give leniency to when they cut but they're cutting their zones. If you have a specific area that you think is not cut we can check it out.
Mr. Horton stated it's been three days since I cut my yard and  it looks like I need to cut it again. The rain has really made a big difference around here. If you post on Facebook tell me exactly where it is and I'll go take a look.
Mr. Soriano stated if you contact me you could go straight to the person that's going to take care of it. I'm going to forward it to these guys and  they're  going  to go right  out there. I've only gotten two calls about the field house, which they pressure washed last week, and I explained we don't do that on a normal basis but the other one was just generic comment that the landscapers weren't doing good. We need specifics so we can go out and check the area.
Mr. Thomas stated I'm a teacher by trade and off during the summer so I'm out in the community. Any time I see any type of section I'll go ahead and shoot Jay and email  or  text and it will be taken care of. They are pretty much Johnny on the spot if we do get specific areas so instead of blanket statement continue to narrow it down. I'm in the Oaks and I've noticed several times where I'm like what's going on here guys and then it is forwarded and it will be taken care of. I appreciate you looking out for the community.
Mr. Horton stated I think you mentioned the field house too. I was out there the other day and they had just pressure washed it and I asked them about the trim around  the bottom  and they said they replaced it.
Mr. Soriano stated realistically I moved that up that for you because it's not the normal time that we're doing that stuff but since you were emailing  me asking me about  it we took care of it. Generally we repaint and pressure wash once a year.
Mr. Nicholson asked is there maybe a long-term solution for the pine straw? It gets thrown down and it just collects in our gutters.
Mr. Soriano stated I can promise you that was one that was done. Last week everything
was completely cleared and then come Wednesday during that storm it was back.
Mr. Nicholson stated yes is there a long-term strategy?
Mr. Soriano stated that's natural everywhere. We have a ton of pine trees. Some of that we don't put out but we do have them put out extra pine straw because that's the natural mulch.

We've asked them to do extra cleanups along the roads because that's going to go in there and we're trying to keep it out.
Mr. Horton asked you're not talking about in the communities are you? Mr. Nicholson stated yes.
Mr. Soriano stated we don't go into the roads inside the neighborhoods.
Mr. Horton stated the CDD is not responsible  for the area around  the homes. Mr. Nicholson stated I just didn't know if there was something else we could do.
Mr. Soriano stated these last couple years we've been switching out a lot of these areas that were pine straw to mulch. Mulch will not only look better but will last longer. We can only get so much mulch compared to how many bales of pine straw we get. What you're  seeing  right now is coming out of the natural areas.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Consent Agenda
Approval of the Minutes of the June 10, 2019 Meeting
Financial Statements
Assessment Receipt Schedule
Check Register
Mr. Perry stated you are 99% collected on your assessment receipt schedule.
Mr. Horton stated on the receipts there are wristbands. What do we use those for?
Mr. Soriano stated we use those for the private parties since they bring in more guests than what we normally allow. We also use them for big events, for instance with Movies on the Green we give those wristbands to people that actually paid extra to get concessions. We buy a big set of about 4,000 every year that we go through.
Mr. Horton stated I've got one more question on the receipts. I'm a little ticked  because I didn't get invited. Somebody had a party. There's Bud Light, Mike's Hard, Seabreeze, etc what's that?
Mr. Soriano stated that's for our dive ins. I've mentioned before we do have adult beverages. I'm a little limited on what we can do by the pool because we can't have glass or anything but if you remember years ago we used to purchase a lot for camp outs and we cut it down because it's a family event but I also want the adults to get something out of it too. They're not drinking snow cones and eating cotton candy  all the time so I do get some things for them.

On MOTION by Mr. Davis seconded by Mr. Horton with all in favor the Consent Agenda was approved.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	of	Additional	Parking	at
Amenity Center
Mr. Soriano stated this is just an update. Unfortunately I wasn't able to walk with a couple of your guys to pick out areas that we'd like for the storage building that we want to put in at the same time that we're doing the parking. The hard part was trying to get an actual meet and walk through with a company that will do the delivery because depending  on where we drop it off it's going to cost more. Everyone kind of seemed to agree that the side between the field house and the basketball court would be a good area. Everybody kind of strayed  away from the easiest one that's in the back where we're going to build  the parking lot but  it's also  the one that is most visible as you drive along Plantation Oaks so I can understand not wanting to put it there but that would also be the one that they'd be able to drive right up and drop it in. The harder spots will be more expensive. I don't know if it was because of the holiday but they weren't able to meet with me this last month so I don't have an update on the pricing  for delivery and the buildings so I'm still working on it. For you guys that haven't met with me if you want to walk through those three spots and kind of look over what I was thinking of doing. Some of the other items I'll be able to bring you prices pretty easy. I've already started going through fencing prices and what the labor is going to cost us. It looks like we're going to do the work of doing all of the planning and permitting ourselves so it will save a few thousand  but  it's also a lot more work for me. The hardest part is going to be that storage building and the  cost for delivery.
Mr. Horton asked the location that you're talking about is closest to the field house?
.	.
Mr. Soriano stated yes in between the field house and the side of the basketball court where I said we would take out about nine pine trees. The hardest part about that is having a crane to move up and around the rest of the pine trees that we wouldn't be taking out.
Mr. Thomas asked is that where the sneak in spot is?
Mr. Soriano stated yes so what we discussed last time is with doing all that the one  thing I would like to do is change out that fencing and use that fencing for something else like  if you want to still have a discussion about the dog park area and things like that.
Mr. Thomas asked and you said you would go to a ten-foot fence?

Mr. Soriano stated yes. I've already started collecting measurements and costs. I  just have to estimate labor and figure out whether we want to put that on the in-house crew or subcontract it out to somebody else and do it all at that same time while everything is tom up. With that parking lot area we're going to have to close some things down during that time.
Mr. Horton stated I'd also like to suggest that at the same time you put the building in you put some kind of cameras up.
Mr. Soriano stated we do have quite a few cameras going in this month. I've mentioned to you guys about purchasing them over time instead of doing one big change out. We've changed out all of the servers now and they are hybrid servers so they will handle our old cameras. We've actually caught more things on our old cameras than we have with these nice high dollar Wi-Fi cameras. The nice part about the Wi-Fi cameras is I can put them out in the parking lot. The only thing I would have to do is run electricity from a transformer  off  the lights but then I'd need a signal to go from there to the fitness center on one side and the clubhouse on the other side. When Clay County does get their new tech up and running they  will be able to log in on the one system and be able to see every single one of our cameras.
Mr. Thomas asked do we need to boost our Wi-Fi strength or any other software?
Mr. Soriano stated probably but that will be something even a high dollar antenna like the ones I have at this pool will be able to do.
Mr. Horton asked do you have a price on the building yet?
Mr. Soriano stated just the verbal because most of it is based on the delivery fees. The verbal was $30,000 for the size I was looking for, 24x24. If that one has siding on it we will probably put hardy board on it so I don't know what that's going to add but delivery is the biggest cost.
Mr. Thomas stated I read through the notes since I wasn't able to be here at the last meeting but is that building good enough or is just an all I can work with kind of thing?
Mr. Soriano stated no that will give us a lot of room.
Mr. Thomas stated I didn't want you to compromise on that so get what you need.
Mr. Soriano stated I' II see if I can get you a picture. It's a very nice building.
Mr. Thomas stated I trust your judgment I'm just saying if  we're  going  to  move forward with this and if it's already in capital reserves get what you need,  not just something you can work with.

Mr. Soriano stated right now we only have some utility vehicles, which are overgrown golf carts, and that's really all that's going to go over there. If in the future  you  guys  are looking for us to have more heavy equipment that would be the only reason we would need a much larger building. I would pull it out closer to the field house where those trees were. We actually have a little bit of space behind it and we will set up fencing so we will have area around that where we can do some kind of outdoor storage. Right now one problem I have with the soccer program is all of those goals get left up there and they get vandalized. It's not something you're going to break down every time because it's a lot of work to put them back together but if we can stack them and put them into and outdoor fenced in area next to that building then that will help. It will be enclosed and it won't be as much of an eyesore. I don't think we need to go much bigger. Once we put it there that's it. It's a big block building that we're going to spend a lot of money on so if we want to bigger we have to make that decision now but I don't think it's needed.
Mr. Horton asked I guess we only have one pressure-washing cart?
Mr. Soriano stated I have two trailers but we can actually swap them. The bigger cart  can hold another 50-gallon tank.
Mr. Horton stated I just wondered if you only have one then you still have guys going back and forth.
Mr. Soriano stated we could buy another one. With the brand new Honda pressure washer that we bought with the 150-gallon water tank, all of the labor to put it together and the trailer it was $1,600 so not a lot. I can talk to Middle Village. You guys split the cost with them so if they're fine with getting another one I'm fine with that. We've got a while  because  it  would not be until we have that storage room.
Mr. Nicholson stated you said something  about expanding  the parking. Is that phase  one over by the soccer fields?
Mr. Horton stated yes on the end where the volleyball courts are.
Mr. Nicholson stated you will see people parking on side streets down by the condos  and anywhere you can fit a vehicle. Every little bit helps.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Acceptance of the Fiscal Year 2018 Audit
Report

Mr. Perry stated on page one at the bottom of the page is the opinion. That is a clean opinion, which basically states that the financials were properly prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. On page 25 is the report required on internal control and about three quarters down that page is also the opinion where they did not  find  any material weaknesses so that's basically another clean opinion.  On page 27 is a letter in regards to the auditor general having the investments and funds of the district properly held with publicly approved financial institutions. Page 29 is the report to management  and you'll  see that there was a recommendation in there about the public depository report. It's supposed to be reported  annually to the state by November 30t h    and we did not do that until March 2019. We had a change in personnel late last summer and it was just a mix up in reporting so this district and your sister district have the same new accountant and the old accountant didn't file the report during the transition.
Mr. Thomas asked is there any legal blow-back?
Mr. Perry stated no not at all. That report basically just states which accounts  that we  do have and that they meet the public depository requirements, which they do, so really it's just administratively we did not file the report.
Mr. Horton asked the auditors caught that, not the state?
Mr. Perry stated the state really just reviews the audit reports. Right after that is compliance of the provisions of the auditor general of the State of Florida and you will  see there are a number of different things in there and there are no items that they  found  that caused concern or noncompliance.
Mr. Horton stated Cindy had mentioned the impact fees and it's mentioned in the report that there are $5.1 million in there for road improvements and things like that.
Mr. Perry stated I don't know if that's the total amount of impact fees that are available at this time. I know Jason was going to look into that. I can tell you from my understanding in Clay County there are several millions of dollars worth of impact fee credits that are available and most of those are held by developers so even though the district does have impact fee credits to be able to monetize them to be able to sell them to other builders is probably going to be very unlikely because we're competing with developers that are selling land  and  they usually bundle the land price acquisition  along with the credits. I know that's an open  item to do a little bit more research on but that's kind of a broad generalization of where we're at.

Mr. Horton stated I got the impression the money was there but nobody was using it.
Mr. Perry stated no that's not the case.
Mr. Horton stated some of the roads are going to need some paving pretty soon.
Mr. Perry stated yes.

On MOTION by Mr. Davis seconded by Mr. Horton with all in favor the Fiscal Year 2018 audit was accepted.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget
. Mr. Perry stated we haven't updated anything within the budget. We will at your next meeting show what the actuals are and we might have a few adjustments to some of the line items but we don't anticipate many adjustments and we're also not anticipating decreasing assessments, nor are we increasing assessments.
Mr. Horton stated on page 13 it talks about telephone, electric and all of the expenses when it comes to cable and internet and as far as I know we have a cable connection but there are no expenses there for that.
Mr. Soriano stated it's in the budget and shows it on the line we just don't have a table
there.
Mr. Perry stated I'll make a note to double check that. Mr. Lanier stated how often do we stock carp?
Mr. Soriano stated we stock triploid carp every year. I have asked them about cutting
out every fifth year for a concern of overcrowding in the ponds but what we're going to get is  an unlucky time where we have a year like this where there's extra algae bloom and that's what those carp take care of. We can go more chemicals, go more carp, or the other option is what I've talked about that the one pond in the front on the way out is one of our worst ponds in the last two summers and we can add aerator fountains. I'm not quite ready to get rid of the carp or go down. I wouldn't say I'd rather use chemicals but I'm not a big fan of having to put fish in every year but that's the way we control the ponds.
Mr. Horton stated I've seen people fish in the pond by me and there was a guy there yesterday morning but I haven't seen anybody catch anything.
Mr. Soriano stated we have some big catfish and some big bass out there. We didn't stock those; they just naturally arrived here.

Mr. Horton asked if you put more carp in would it keep the algae blooms down? Mr. Soriano stated that's what they're for. That's the only reason we stock them. Mr. Horton asked they don't stock every month do they?
Mr. Soriano stated no it's one big stock every year.
Mr. Horton asked have they done it this year yet?
Mr. Soriano stated this fiscal year, yes. We do it once every fiscal year.
Mr. Nicholson asked you said the one big pond leaving phase one?
Mr. Soriano stated yes so when you're on Oakleaf Village Parkway on your right that's one of our worst ponds.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
District Counsel
There being none, the next item followed.
District Engineer

District Manager
There being none, the next item followed.
Operations Manager - Report
Mr. Soriano stated we just had a dive-in at your side. It went well; we had a  lot of people there and it was a lot of fun. We had a good amount pre-register. The next event will be on your side where we planned the national night out. I'm not sure how well that's going to go and we may have to change the date. Clay County is not doing it in August so they are not following the regular national night out plan they are doing theirs in October. To me that's beneficial if I can still get them to come out and bring their SWAT vehicle or whatever. I know they have some other issues going on right now so I don't know but I think it would be helpful because one of the big problems with national night out that I've mentioned before was one of the reasons we stopped doing it is because we don't get enough support from them because they're pulled to every community. We will see if we can get support but that's the next item planned for the first week in August.
Mr. Horton stated I would point out that they're going to bring all of the vehicles to Eagle Landing on July 13t h   so it may put a damper on getting the vehicles out in October.

Mr. Soriano stated we've never gotten anything other than one of our off-duty officers who happened to be a K-9 officer brought his dog out to one of our national night out events and did a little presentation but other than that we've never gotten anything other than the Sheriff coming out to shake hands unfortunately. It ends up being us paying for a bounce  house, hot dogs and snow cones and things like that. If I can get the two larger HOAs involved to help with tiying to get infonnation out about neighborhood watch I think it would be beneficial but that would fall a lot on them. If not it ends up just being another Movie on the Green night for us. We were planning on showing a super hero movie that night to go along with the hero theme so we will see if it works. We do have a movie here at your sister district  in August and we also have the back to school event at the pool so August will be pretty busy. If you remember I asked a year ago when we were doing the planning for the calendar year not to do anything in July because it's already busy enough at the pools so we get a little reprieve for the next couple of weeks and then August will be busy again.
If you'll look at our facility usage compared to this time last year it is much higher with about 1,000 more people checking in to our facilities for the month. We have a lot of new homes, mostly on this side with the apartments and we still have more to build, however the other issue is that we haven't been shut down like we were last year. Last year had a  lot of  rainy days so we had a good 60% non-operating time as far as the pools go. We still had our normal check-ins at the basketball court, tennis courts and the gym but the pools were really affected by those non-operating times. I don't think it's just because of the extra people but it does help out.
Mr. Horton asked how many apartments are there by the roundabout down here. Are they in the District?
Mr. Soriano stated those are townhomes. All of the roundabout stuff is all part of Middle Village. That is a good amount of our left over areas; we have some undeveloped property, there's some townhomes and then there's one last apartment building that's going to  go in.
I wanted to discuss something real quick with the policies. It's summertime and  we have our normal complaints with the pool; people mad because they can't bring in more than  the five guests or they're mad because they can't get in because they didn't  bring their cards.  We have the rules for a reason, however the only valid complaint that anybody had and I

believe it was a little bit my fault with the wording in the policies. The only thing we've changed in 15 years is how we did the guest pass. More than a year ago we voted on making them cheaper and to deter the weekend overcrowding we made it to where they had to use two passes on weekends and holidays for each person. It everybody a while to understand that because they just hear double and they're mad. Everybody has kind of calmed down about that but I had spoken about not giving them this unlimited amount of time to use them, they have to have an expiration date. I did want them to have a year but the biggest problem with the way I worded it is lets say they buy it in August or September. We're getting ready to shut the pools down and they buy a 5 pack or a couple 5-packs and they end up not bringing people in. They basically have a month left to use their pass. I wanted them to at least have that one year. I can only really do it at the time when we reload the 12 free passes and I have to go in to  each person and reload anything they didn't use so I only want to do it that one time throughout the year. If they bought in August I do want them to get that next summer and get that year. If they bought in April or May they end up getting two summers out of it, but it does have an expiration date. The way I worded it was it ended right at that year mark and that's not what I intended and I don't think any of you guys thought about that. I did want to talk to you; I didn't want to just go in and change the policies. I would like them to have at least the calendar year.
Mr. Horton asked where does it say that in the policies?
Mr. Soriano stated there's a guest pack portion on the first page.
Mr. Horton stated I looked through there and I didn't see the reference to the weekends.
You said last time you modified it was a year ago.
Mr. Soriano stated it would have been May of 2018. Mr. Horton stated I saw 2015.
Mr. Soriano stated if you're seeing 2015 you have to make sure you  update  your cache
and you're not pulling an old file off your computer because that has been changed since then. Your computer may be saving a version of it. I did want to go over that with you guys that I wanted to have at least that one calendar year to use their passes. I used to sell those big $60 twelve packs and we didn't really put an expiration date on it. What we're getting is the people that did buy those we gave them special cards so we get all these people coming up with these blue and green cards that were actually just guest passes that we gave out three years ago and we've  been  taking them  away  from  people  at  the pool because they  have  2010 or  2011 on

them. These were the free ones we gave away, these weren't even the ones they paid $60 for. We needed an expiration date on those and I think we need an expiration on these that we're doing now. I wanted to make sure everybody understood that the wording is going to be the December 31s t    the following year.
Mr. Davis asked you're only selling them in August?
Mr. Soriano stated no we sell them all year but I go in December 31s t    or January 1st  to reload the twelve and if they bought them the year before they will get anything that's unused for the next year so they have to use them that summer or they're gone. I spoke to one of the residents about it and explained what I wanted to do but then she sent me back a picture of the policies where I worded it ending December 31s t that year and that's not really whaf I meant because if you buy them in September you really only have that month to use them  because then we shut the pools down. Most people are buying guest passes for their family or friend's kids that are coming in.
Mr. Davis stated say you purchase it in September you're going to make it to where it's good until the following September?
Mr. Soriano stated yes so they will actually get more than one year out of it but I want them to get at least that one calendar year out of it but the way I worded it they were done that year.
Mr. Thomas asked they will actually go through December 31s t    of the following year?
Mr. Soriano stated yes so if you use up your passes a lot and you buy them in April or May you might get more out of it. The only reason they're buying that early is if they're people that bring guests a lot. I did have a lot of questions so I went back and looked at the way I worded it.
Mr. Davis asked you can't make it from September to September?
Mr. Soriano stated no because then have to go into the system in September. Ifwe do it monthly and said it's only good for one year I would have to go in and pull those individual purchases out every month.
Mr. Perry stated we're not talking about hundreds here.
Mr. Soriano stated when we did the $60 on average you're talking 30 or 40 people a  year that would buy those passes so it's not a lot. We might get more because they're cheaper now but we haven't seen that yet this year.

Mr. Horton stated in the policies how about in the bottom right-hand corner you put the date of the revisions.
Mr. Soriano stated I think that's why you saw that date on there.
Mr. Horton stated the date is from the modification date after you save it. I pulled it up and saved it.
Mr. Soriano stated I'll show you what's on the website but like I said that's really the
only valid complaint I've heard this year. Everything is running smooth.
Mr. Nicholson stated the adult pool is too warm. It's not really refreshing but I like the all the new furniture over there. Those are nice.
Mr. Horton asked did you get all of the rest of the new ones in?
Mr. Soriano stated they're not in yet but I've placed the order so we should see it on our financials this next month so we will hopefully have the furniture and we will start pulling the others out. After looking at the dive-in I may actually keep some of them out. We can re-strap them and set them to the side but the issue we get with the dive-in is we pull extra chairs  around that lap pool so it will be nice to have some ready to go to pull out for events like that.
Mr. Lanier asked what happened with the phone lines in the fitness center?
Mr. Soriano stated I believe that's from all the utility work outside. That was cut on the roadside so it took us about a month to figure it out because everybody was telling us it was in our building. We're testing everything, I brought in our phone guys and our alarm panel guys because it was calling me every night at three in the morning telling me it can't communicate through the phone system. Finally we were able to get AT&T to verify that it was from the box that was out in the corner so somebody had cut it in the road.
Mr. Lanier asked so it's their issue?
Mr. Soriano stated yes. It's taken care of now so the alarm is reset and I'm not getting calls in the middle of the night. It's kind of a pain we have so many companies right now digging utilities through our neighborhood and most of them won't take responsibility for anything they hit and cut. I've had Comcast tell me a couple times they've found lines duck­ taped together and these are Comcast lines that are in the ground.
Mr. Horton stated question on the waterfall. You say you have to go out and prime it every time and last time you talked about the buckets of water. Doesn't it have a check valve or something?

Mr. Soriano stated the check valve only has about a three foot run so it only holds so much water. What we need is more water for it to suck through the system. If you were to extend that run to save water in the pipe you're under the ground now so you would bury your check valves and that's not a very good idea because if a check valve goes back you  have to  dig all of that up.
Mr. Horton asked how many buckets of water does it take?
Mr. Soriano stated it takes about an hour to prime it. The buckets of water are just helpful. We can sit there and let the air out. I actually let it go most of the time for about an  hour as long as I'm not worried about PVC pipes overheating and then come back. There's a pipe a couple hundred feet that goes out to the middle of the pond and it's pretty deep down there. It has to be able to suck all the way  back up to the pump pack that is in the ground. Once I get it up there then it's good and it will start priming a little better.
Mr. Horton asked there's no quicker way to do that? It seems like a waste of time every time you have to do that.
Mr. Soriano stated the better way would be better electricity. The only reason it goes  out is we put computer drives to protect the motors, which do a great job and  they're actually the same computer drives we have on our filters and slide pumps and things like that. They're very expensive. If we get a power outage here they turn everything off and it actually  makes you come to the screen and go through the errors so that you know nothing is burning up and you have to reset it. We don't have the greatest electricity out here and the last three weeks we've had a power outage every single week so every single week you've seen me out there priming that waterfall. I've gotten to the point where I do it now instead of taking the guys time away from them. I'd rather use them for pressure washing or painting.
Mr. Horton asked how about the damaged tree that somebody ran into the other day?
Mr. Soriano stated I've been contacted by the driver's insurance from last month. With trees it's a little tough. lfl want to cut the live tree down and go ahead and replace it they will pay us for it. We've had plenty of trees hit on that road and most of the time I ask for the tracks that they've left to be cleaned up by our landscape crew but as far as the tree  it's a very large oak tree and it would probably be quite a few thousand bucks, probably $8,000-$10,000 to get one that size. It's lost some bark but we've had plenty of them get hit like that and they're still

living. It's been a month find half now since it's been hit and other than the bark where he actually ran into the tree and wrapped the vehicle around the tree is fine.
Mr. Thomas asked do we need to go in and clean the fire area out?
Mr. Soriano stated no we leave that to the department of agriculture. They will come in and spot areas that need to be done. My neighbor in Cannons Point was one of the directors for the forestry department so he would just ride around Oakleaf and spot these areas out and give them the verbal go ahead but he no longer lives in Oakleaf and he's kind of moved up in position so to work with St. Johns and the Department of Forestry I have to actually sign a lot  of legal paperwork and they map everything out in Oakleaf. We do have some areas that will  be getting done now. That was not because of underbrush though. That, along with the same  fire in the same position a year ago, they believe somebody is back there smoking. There is what looks like soda cans and litter back there like somebody was hanging out. That is an area where our one friend has been trespassed multiple times hangs out at a lot.
Mr. Horton asked what spot are we talking about?
Mr. Soriano stated when you come down Oakleaf Village Parkway that intersection at Cannon's Point and Nature's Cannon there's a little tiny pond there on the comer and there are woods behind that tiny pond. Those woods caught on fire last year and we just happened to be in the area so we were out there with buckets off the golf carts to help put it out until the fire department could get there. There's now water in the area so even the other day when I caught the fire they take the little pumper truck and it works great, it's still 300 gallons at a time. They spray it out and come back up and fill it up from the big pumper truck and go back. It took about 10 trips back and forth but they got it.
Mr. Horton stated there was a small fire across from the Stone Briar park. It's pretty much grown back in now.
Mr. Soriano stated most of our issues if you guys remember about a year ago this big
lot next to the clock tower caught on fire and this was a large fire. It was the  same thing; caused by somebody back there with a cigarette.
Mr. Thomas stated you brought up the utility company. Can we ask  them not to drive on my sidewalk? I understand you have to cross the sidewalk to get to your work area but you don't have to use the sidewalk as another traffic lane. I watched one go from Publix all the way down here.

Mr. Soriano stated yes those TECO guys are even worse and we have to deal with them quite a bit. We don't get much control over them, however the county watches them pretty closely and if you even have a little crack that wasn't there before the county  will charge them to repair that so this whole sidewalk out here has been mapped out and they come out and take pictures for that reason. If you have anybody that drives on your sidewalk the best we can do is figure out whose truck that is and then we can report it to the county.
Mr. Thomas stated I have something for VerdeGo. What can you tell me about what's going on with these sprinklers? Back in my area in the back half of the Oaks I'm getting texts from residents almost daily of busted sprinkler heads. I understand.they get hit but there seems to be more and more. I can show you the text messages that I've been forwarding to Jay for the past two weeks. I understand the gentleman named David is the hardest working man in the business because I always see him working but are these problems from the old landscaping company or are these new problems popping up? ls it the equipment that the old landscaping company used? From sprinkler heads to even questions about what time the sprinklers are coming on. I have a gentleman that comes home at 7:30 at night and he's asking why they're running at that time, but when he leaves for work they're on in the same areas again so we're running them twice a day.
Mr. Soriano stated they should be. There are very few that will run in the middle of the day. It's mostly the soccer fields and those types of things that will run in the middle  of the  day.
Mr. Perez stated before we had this rain we had a drought so we had them running
during the day too to make sure everything stayed alive. We've had a bunch of  main  line breaks here lately. We're fixing a lot of old issues and sometimes pressure is getting better and we have old heads that just stop functioning. You guys have thousands and thousands of heads out here so if they pop up and stay stuck up, or we've had valves that are staying stuck on and TECO has been hitting a lot so when they hit dirt and things get in there and it clogs up and the heads need to be replaced so within the last few weeks we've had a lot of irrigation orders. I've added additional teams out here helping David because it's been an issue.
Mr. Thomas stated I just didn't know if these are because now that things are properly running the equipment that was originally replaced is not handling the appropriate pressure.

Mr. Perez stated no it's age and now that things are working a little more efficient they probably have more pressure than they've had before. Each time we do something we're thrust blocking it where before they didn't do that.
Mr. Soriano stated there are some areas where it's just damaged. Nature's Hammock  I get the same pictures from the front of Nature's  Hammock  where the cars  park on the side so as soon as David goes out there and replaces some heads about a week  later you'll see two heads shoot straight up. That comes from people running those over or hitting them. Most irrigation guys don't like it because we have an all-inclusive contract so the heads are replaced for free, however quite a few years ago on your side we had that same problem with the Silverleaf island to where we had a couple hundred heads repaired over the summer so we did end up voting to pay DTE at that one point because it was obvious it was damaged from people driving up and parking on there constantly. We added some signs and started  towing  people and it's kind of helped since then but Nature's Hammock is the worst right now.
Mr. Horton stated it looks like people are still parking there by the playground.
Mr. Soriano stated yeah I'm sure.
Mr. Perez stated we also saw near the Oaks today somebody jumped the  curb just a little bit and hit the sprinkler head and now it's leaning over.
Mr. Thomas stated that's my next thing, back there  by the Oaks we did  put that fence up but they're still going up there so I'd like to maybe think about doing what we did across from Nature's Hammock with putting up a couple of the saw grass bushes because I know you've asked people to move. Now there are actually ruts because of all of the rain.
Mr. Soriano stated the driving I was more worried about because they were driving through the fencing that we were paying for but this last repair I did have two galvanized steel orange posts put in on the side. I've already talked to Clay Electric but I still need to get with Clay Utilities. They have a water station back there. Clay Electric is good with it and they've given me a lock to extend the chain across that. It's not the prettiest  thing but I want to stop it.  It was almost $1,000 to have the gate redone last time. That's really are only next step. I don't know that we could do much more.
Mr. Thomas stated I'm not talking about the gate. The pone; we put the gate up there so they wouldn't drive to that pond. They're driving up now and just parking between  the fence and now there's ruts. I was wondering if we could get a couple of those sawgrass bushes there.

Mr. Soriano stated I'm worried about the amount of irrigation we have there. If you notice the grass doesn't really that well along the fence because we don't irrigate the pond banks. We do have some heads farther up.
Mr. Thomas stated not in the Oaks, going back to the Oaks before the curb and between Nature's Hammock and the back entrance to the Oaks. That really small pond.
Mr. Soriano asked oh the one in the trees?
Mr. Thomas stated yes that's where they're parking now. Just run by and see if there's anything we could do to deter it. The last thing we need is more signs.
Mr. Soriano stated we did that split rail back in the trees but we didn't do anything up front. We could always extend some down in the front. It's a little more costly but that's going  to stop them, it's not going to be a couple grasses that they could run over. Split rail will keep them off the sidewalks. I can get some quotes. I actually got one for Nature's Hammock but I want to pull some others because he was a little expensive to run down that long run.
Mr. Thomas asked is that the T-Fenceman?
Mr. Soriano stated yes the one we've used for years. He usually gives us good pricing  but that was a long run so he wanted a little over $4,000 for that and I'd hate to give my guys more work but we could do post hole digging for the split rail. I can give you ideas of what it would cost if we want to go that route. That to me would be a little more guaranteed  that no  one is going to come up there and park on that side.
Mr. Horton asked have you ever seen anybody in there?
Mr. Thomas stated yes I've asked people as well.
Mr. Horton asked did they move?
Mr. Thomas stated yes after a little bit of attitude.
Mr. Soriano stated I do have one Oaks resident that comes over there and fishes off that pond and I've talked to him a couple times.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments/ Supervisors'
Requests
Supervisors' Requests
Mr. Horton stated the tree roots are cracking the asphalt walkway around the soccer field and it's a major trip hazard in some places. I'm wondering  if there's some way we could fix that reasonably?

Mr. Soriano stated I don't know what you consider  reasonable.  That's a  big track even if we section it out. We're already going to have an asphalt company coming in to do  the parking lot so I could get some quotes if you guys want to but with the amount of areas that have to be done there you're probably looking at a $20,000 to $30,000 to repair  it. You can't  just cut up the asphalt you have to pull the roots hecause they will lay new asphalt on top of it but if the roots still under there it will just lift it right back  up so they would  dig it all up, cut the roots down and drop new asphalt. Even if we're doing just a five-foot section there are so many areas out there where those oak trees are lifting that up so it's going to add up unless you want to pick out spots that are really bad.
Mr. Horton stated there are two sections that are rough.
Mr. Soriano stated I always worry we're going to fix those spots and then somebody is going to complain they tripped over one little crack that we left. If we're going to fix it, we should fix the whole thing. It's going to add up because  that's a  big amount of space there. I  can get a quote.
Mr. Horton stated I don't think we should leave it like it is so sometime down the road we need to do something about fixing it. It's a good walking track and a lot of people use it.
Mr. Soriano stated I don't even think that was put in our capital projects  either so we  can look at it and I can bring a quote back.
Mr. Horton stated I was thinking we could just pave over it. The roots are going to keep growmg.
Mr. Soriano stated that's a temporary fix. We do what's called loose fill that just stamps
down in there and makes a hump. It's almost like a pothole fix.
Mr. Horton stated we can't do just the crack we'd have to do the whole area. Just take a look at it.
