FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion on the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget
Mr. Perry stated this is a placeholder for the Fiscal Year 2022 budget, which we will be adopting at your next meeting. We haven't made any changes to the budget  at this point  in time. We will be updating it for actuals and projections for next year for your next meeting, but we don't anticipate any changes in the assessments so they will  remain the same as they  are  this year. If there are no questions from the Board, we will go through the budget in detail at your next meeting.
Mr. Horton stated just glancing through there I noticed there are a lot of things that bumped a bit, more so than last year.

There were no objections to the meeting date.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
District Counsel- Consideration ofHGS Rate Adjustment
Mr. Eckert stated I have two items for the Board today. Included in the agenda  package is a letter that we sent to GMS back in March. Every year we look at our rates that we have and the finn decides what our new rate should be. The last time we brought this issue  before you was in 2019, where we asked for a rate adjustment. At this point in time, we're proposing an hourly rate adjustment for me from $335 to $350, which is $15 an hour.  Also,  paralegal services would go up from $130 to $150. Associates would be between $265 and $285. There are no associates that are assigned to your district at this point. Certainly, we can bring somebody in if it makes more sense to do so, but I have a good walking  around  knowledge. The rates won't take effect until October 1, 2021, so when you start your new budget year. The reason I wasn't really concerned about this not coming up in March or April is I was not proposing a change to your budget as a result of it.
Mr. Davis asked do you recall what the increase was in 2019?
Mr. Eckert responded I don't,  but I can get that for you. I don't think I  was the counsel at that point.
Mr. Thomas asked this is already reflected in the upcoming budget, or we would have
to adjust it?
Mr.  Eckert responded  no; you don't need to adjust the budget for it. We don't work up  to your budget number. Hopefully we've over budgeted for legal services because once you get any kind of litigation, you've under budgeted for the year. I would recommend it to Jim if I thought it had any kind of material difference on this. The other thing that is happening too is that I'm moving over to this area from Tallahassee and right now you all have a flat fee for my meeting attendance and preparation. I'm going to sit down with your Chair and talk about whether that makes sense going forward, because I think since I'm going to be over here now, that some of that can be reduced and rather than do a flat fee, going on the hourly rate may end up saving the District $300 to $500 a month. Overall, I don't think you're going to see much of an increase, if any increase at all.
Mr. Davis stated I know inflation is running rampant everywhere so I have no issues
with it.

On MOTION by Mr. Lanier seconded by Ms. Nelsen with all in favor Hopping Green & Sams' rate adjustments were approved.

Mr. Eckert stated the second issue is we will be reaching out, and we have  been reaching out, to the insurance companies who provide liability insurance for the CDDs throughout Florida and talking to them about whether or not they have any new restrictions that they want us to be imposing related to the CDC's latest revised guidance. It doesn't mean we have to follow it, but it is something we should at least be aware of.

Operations Manager - Memorandum
Mr. Soriano stated we just had a couple of our District events. There was a dive-in over here and that was the last one for the summer at your sister district. We have one more on your side in the pool coming up and then everything else we have on the multi-use  fields. We are also onto the limited pool schedule. The kids are back in school, and we have gone to the alternating schedule. Today your pools are open and tomorrow yours will be closed and this  pool will be open, and we will go back and forth. We whittle down again a little later in September to where they're only open in the afternoons and  then we eventually  get  to just being open on the weekends in October. There was a request to use your pool from Bishop Snyder. I don't know that we will be able to accommodate,  but they asked  to use  lanes. They go all the way out to Baldwin and rent lanes out there and it's been problematic, so they were hoping for any help. I told them ifwe could, we would. !just don't  know  ifwe have the ability to. You don't have diving blocks for secondary athletics.  You're  not even allowed  to dive in our pools because they have to be at least 5 ½ feet deep so it's a little problematic but I did tell them if there was any way at all I can work with them for some of their practices that I would unless there are any concerns from you guys.
Mr. Horton asked how many times a week and what are the time periods?

Mr. Soriano responded most swim teams practice every day during the week. I  told them we definitely wouldn't be able to handle that. They're a private school so we would have  to do something a little different if we did okay something with them as far as a usage agreement.
Mr. Davis stated two years ago I put in a $100,000 covered batting facility for them.
They can put a pool in.
Mr. Soriano stated I didn't get to the point of asking them for money or anything. I'm willing to try to help out where we can, we just can't compete against  our own organizations that are here. I don't want to cause problems with people stepping on each other's toes and I  can't go beyond what the facility can handle. There are rules they have to follow anyway that our pools just don't meet right now. I can't put a third on this pool so it would only fall under yours ifl can help them, but I wanted you guys to be aware in case there were any concerns.
Mr. Horton asked they'd only be practicing late afternoon?
Mr. Soriano responded it would be really late afternoon. They have two high schools here that start right after school at 2:00 and they go all the way until 8:00.
Mr. Horton asked would they block out the pool when they were practicing?
Mr. Soriano responded no; I would ask it to be the same exact thing as  here.  They would have to leave a couple lanes open.
Mr. Soriano continued with his report. If you'll notice, our numbers  are creeping  up here. We had 100 plus people out on the deck for the back-to-school event. The entire time it was packed, and the kids had a lot of fun. We gave away stuffed backpacks and $10 Amazon
, cards and the DJ had them all partying so that was the first time it's looked like a regular summer day. If you see our numbers there for July, this is the highest we've been in  a  long time. It was comparative to pre-pandemic times. We were constantly busy every day. The only reason these are a little lower I think has  to do with us having  a really wet summer. The rain did cut down our operating hours quite a bit.
There are a couple of items I want to discuss with you. I'm  going to update you guys on a couple of projects and then we also have some items for purchase. One problem I'm having that has stopped us from opening the dog park is standing water after all of that  rain. I still  don't see that as being problematic for the dogs. I am going to raise the level up a bit on the outside of the fence. We're going to put smaller gravel and bring up the ground level.

However, on the inside of that fencing where it goes down into the culvert, you can't see them in the picture, but there are actually fish in the puddle. That goes to that pipe and all the way out to the pond. That keeps the level with that pond, so right now that pond level is really high and that is where that water is coming from. We have gotten the fencing solved, so don't have to worry about dogs going down into that drain or anything, but it is staying a little wet so we're going to bring that up a little bit, but there is always going to be a problem when we have that much rain. I do have to put out that sign that we use reclaimed water everywhere just in case it ever happens, and somebody's dog gets sick because they're drinking that water.
Our bridge is built. It's not out there on site yet, we built it in our storage room, which came in handy the last couple of weeks while it was raining. We put it together in the sections that were prefabricated, which is what you will see on the front page. The second  page is from  a city the manufacturer worked with before to give an idea of how to dress it up with the wood slats at the bottom and the railing so we can make it look a little nicer of an outdoor  bridge.  That is what we're planning, so we're going to go ahead and cut the wood and we're going to paint so the aluminum slats will get a powder coat green matching  the  bridge that we have at the amenity center to try to make it look like something we've already done as we  put  it together out there on site. Hopefully we will have that finished  up for  next month's meeting  too.
Mr. Horton asked you can do powder coating?
Mr. Soriano responded powder coat green. I'm not going to powder coat it. I was just talking about that light coat of green that is going to look like it is powder coated, but I'm not taking it to get powder coated. If we want to, I did look at that. I can take them one at a time,  but you're probably talking another couple thousand bucks to powder coat that whole unit.
Mr. Horton stated no, I was just curious.
Mr. Soriano stated it would match everything more and be more durable but I'm good with going out there and painting it every year or so.
Mr. Davis asked what was the cost of this bridge and the length?
Mr. Soriano responded it's a 24-foot bridge and I believe we paid $14,000  for it. I'll  have to double check. I've been dealing with a lot of companies that have  given  us outrageously long turnaround times like four months to eight months just to get something delivered and that is the nonn right now, however, this company wasn't that slow, but we did

pay them differently. We paid them an extra $1,800 to have that PO price so they got their check before that bridge went out the door. I asked the owner if they would consider  giving  us a bit of a discount since it didn't really go out like a PO and the price is set up based on that. They haven't responded to me yet. Anything would be nice.
We also have the parking lot expansion, most of you guys have seen that. I am waiting on striping and then I'll have to work with Chalan on landscaping so we can get that closed in. He is looking to seal coat on a weekend for the track. After this next weekend I'm  going to  have to hold them off and tell him we'd rather go during the week because weekends are going to get too packed here. I know he was hoping to get that scheduled because he's already behind because of the rain for some of this other jobs. If he can get it this next weekend then great, the track will be done too, but if not, I'll have to push him off and we will do it during the week.
Mr. Horton asked I noticed on the receipt it says it's got to set up for 36 hours. How are you going to protect that?
Mr. Soriano responded so you won't that one like our concrete. Kids aren't going to be able to go down there and spell their name in it. However, if you walk across it right away it would damage your shoes, so we do have to have signs out there for that reason. We will send out an email and we're going to stick wooden stakes with printed signs all the way around the track.
Mr. Horton asked is somebody going to keep an eye on it?
Mr. Soriano responded our security is going to pay extra attention, but we're only going to be able to do so much. While we were out there fixing a couple of pot holes when he was doing the expansion,  we're putting down asphalt  and there's  people just walking right through a fresh pothole.
Mr. Davis stated just tape it off and say stay off. I wouldn't even warn them it's going to mess up their shoes.
Mr.  Soriano  stated  the last  couple of  items will be things we have  to set aside money
for if you want to move forward. I've been talking about the Hammer Strength  equipment  in the fitness center. I'm looking at five machines. These are refurbished models so they have a lower price. On average the Hammer Strength machines will go anywhere from about $2,500 upwards to $5,000 for a brand-new machine from Life Fitness. That is who provided our treadmills and stepmills this last year. I'm  still waiting for them to give me a price on new

models. The refurbished do come with a one-year warranty. The Hammer Strength  machines are a little different than the other equipment we have. We don't have a lot of motors. Moving parts I have concerns with, so I don't need it to be a brand new model to make it last. Ifwe go with the new ones, just to pick up five pieces we're talking at least $25,000. Here, it's going to be closer to $10,000 or $15,000.
Mr. Horton asked how do you put the weights on there?
Mr. Soriano responded these are plate weights, so they are large round plates with the handles that you'll just slide onto a big bar that's on the side there. This is the price of the machine. It doesn't include the weights or shipping. I'll buy the weights  separately,  but I  can do that with my amount, so this is just to confirm the machines. If we want to go this route, I'd move the treadmills, the ellipticals and the two stepmills and we've purchase new rowing equipment, one standing and another rower so we will have two rowers and those will all go into the aerobics room. I will have to purchase some small items such as mats to protect the floor and two new TVs. The space that those will come out we will move the fitness equipment around and get these machines in place on the other fitness floor.
Mr. Horton asked how many are you going to get?
Mr. Soriano responded right now I'm looking at just starting with five. They  are a  bigger footprint than the equipment that we use now so I'm going to be able to fit a lot in that room. It really depends on availability though. The reason I picked these machines out is because they do multiple movements and multiple muscles rather than one specific exercise. With our Select Rise machines, they have one just for one muscle group, so we'd have to have 15 or 20 of those machines. These are more combo machines. Our athlete-minded  people will be more interested in that too.
Mr. Lanier asked would all demographics be able to use this with no issue?
Mr. Soriano responded no, whenever you consider a free weight,  the concern with that is it is a little harder to understand and it's a little more intimidating. We don't have someone that is going to take them through a training session, so there are groups of people that would just not mess with this and would get on the select rise equipment that has a little  picture of how to sit and how to move.
Mr. Davis stated and the weights are heavier.

Mr. Thomas stated these should come with a little diagram that shows the target muscle area. I really like the Hammer Strength equipment; I would just encourage you to buy extra  pads and maybe we need to put in the gym policies to use the machines correctly. Some of  these guys just slam them. If there's a thick pad and you do that, it will  break that  pad down  and it will bust the arm.
Mr. Soriano stated that's actually why I like the older models. I can get  replacement  pads easier than the newer model items. I have that problem sometimes with the equipment we have now. Ifl can get a machine that has easier replacement parts, it makes it easier for us long run maintenance-wise. If we spend about $15,000 to $20,000 today to go ahead and make purchases, the problem is it's not just about buying the equipment.  I  think everybody  is going to like the idea of having a cardio room now. We're almost doubling the size of our fitness center by doing this. That goes to the concern of maintenance and budget line down the road. We have all this extra equipment that we have to clean, pay for preventative maintenance, and repair it when something does go out. Every time we do something like the bridge,  the dog park, we're adding on a lot to our large capital plan.
Mr. Davis stated the one thing about the Hammer  Strength equipment  is it's very  rare, if ever, that I see in any gym a Hammer Strength machine down because you don't have the pulleys and cables involved. They're very user friendly and low maintenance.
Mr. Soriano stated the most I get is a bearing every once and a while.
Mr. Lanier asked is Southeast adept at fixing Hammer Strength equipment?
Mr. Soriano responded yes. They work with the Life Fitness company that provides our equipment. If we want to move in the direction of Hammer Strength, I would ask for at least
$15,000 if not up to $20,000. I do not know what it will cost to ship these. I still have to make sure we have availability. I would like to get it moving pretty soon because the one problem I have come up again is the Zumba ladies are asking if they can use it until it's changed and I'd rather go ahead and get it done and changed and start moving stuff in there.
Mr. Horton asked what's the cost of the weights?
Mr. Soriano responded right now we're looking  at anywhere from $4 to $6 a pound,  so it really depends on how many pounds I get.
Mr. Thomas asked where are you getting these weights from? Mr. Soriano responded they're plated with the handles.

Mr. Thomas stated oh you're not talking bumper plates.
Mr. Soriano stated we're not doing Olympic lift, so I don't need the bumper. They are going to be rubberized.

On MOTION by Mr. Lanier seconded by Mr. Davis with all  in favor purchasing fitness equipment at an amount not to exceed
$15,000 was approved.

Mr. Soriano stated the last item is the salt changeover. We do  not have the leak  fixed yet in the slide pool, however I had mentioned before the best time to get this changeover done is in the winter. I save money during the summer, so the higher rate is during the winter. I  would like to go ahead and get moving on this. The slide pool uses what is called a PRO3, basically three of these systems stacked on top of each other and your other pool can use a PRO3, but they're looking for a higher amount of cells. The number on the right is what the  Auto Pilot company says the state requires to let us go 100%. I don't agree with that, because every health inspector I've ever seen says we can't go 100%, we always have to have  that backup chlorinator, so whether we use chlorine tabs or liquid,  they  don't allow  us just to use the salt system. This number here may produce more than enough salt to handle it by  itself,  they just want us to still have something there as backup, but that is a higher  number of cells. For the slide pool, I would actually start with a six unit, but it comes with four soft cells, so if you look at these boxes here, you will see one that says PRO3, that is a lower price, and then there is a PRO6. It has six individual controllers inside of it. The six is the high dollar one, it's
$13,790. The PRO3 is a big unit, but it's only going to come with three inside of it, so there is space to expand. There is also a PRO4, it is $11,000. That's where I would start. It's a little higher than their suggestion. The lap pool I would  put a PRO6 on it and a PRO3 so that we  have more than enough there also. So, for your slide pool I would be looking at $11,000 and then for your  lap pool you're looking at $22,300. To change the spray ground  over, it's $774 so I can take care of that kind of stuff.
Ms. Nelsen asked what is the rate of return on this investment as far as labor and materials?
Mr. Soriano  responded  most of the  install  is going to be done  in-house.  I  do have  to
have Crown  finalize and  if we end  up having to put on a  booster  pump  to make sure we have

correct flow our pool contractors would have to do that so there will be some labor costs involved there, not a lot. Most of it is going to be this purchase price. light now, look at these two, we are looking at $33,000, maybe $35,000 once we're done. light now, we're spending
$24,900 in chemicals each year so once we make it into the second year,  we start  to see a return on investment.
Mr. Horton asked will you be able to adjust any of your chlorine contracts on the fly?
Mr. Soriano responded we're going to get rid of it. They only do an all-inclusive contract. I can work with companies that deliver in bulk and it will sit there for a  couple  months because it's only needed as backup. So, we will have chemicals we still have to buy.
Mr. Lanier asked what is the average cost per year to run salt solution?
Mr. Davis responded I have the DIG-220 on my pool and have for years and I  can't speak for the two larger systems, but the Auto Pilot, I've had to do maybe $300 or $400 worth  of maintenance to replace the motherboard and such in the last seven years. That is a very low maintenance unit. I can't speak for the other larger units,  but  if they're Auto Pilot as well, I  love the system.
Mr. Soriano stated it's basically a stacked version of that little one so if the salt cells go out, those salt cells can be anywhere from $300 to $600 depending on where you purchase it from. If we lose one for one summer, we're replacing one for a few hundred  bucks. If  we lose all six, then it will add up. They do come with a one-year commercial warranty, but many will last a few years if you're taking care of them.
Mr. Davis stated on the DIG-220 they don't advertise it, but there is a $60 or $70 rebate that I found out about after replacing the cell for the third time.
Mr. Thomas asked so you're looking at a not to exceed $37,000?
Mr. Soriano responded yes, that should be more than enough.
Ms. Nelsen stated it's hard to argue with a less than two-year rate ofreturn.
Mr. Soriano stated my only concern would be at two years we start  to  see  small amounts of maintenance to replace the cells or electrical damage. That would be the only thing that cuts into our return on investment. Right now, we're not going to get cheaper on chlorine, we're only going up and after this year I think every company is going to find an excuse to increase costs for pool chemicals, so this I think is one way we're going to be able to control it better ourselves.

Mr. Horton stated I'm thinking Middle Village will go along with this too.
Mr. Soriano stated they have already done theirs. Their large pool in the back has been salt for years, it's just a different type of commercial system with a giant commercial salt cell and every time that goes out it's $7,000 just to replace it so it has not given  us that return that we would like. They are switching it to this. That's the way they did their heaters too, they're stacked systems, so if I ever have it go down the others take over for it for a while until  I replace it, so we don't have a system out. Unless for some reason we lost all six and then we keep chlorine.

On MOTION by Mr. Thomas seconded by Ms. Nelsen with all in favor purchasing a salt cell system at an amount not to exceed
$37,000 was approved.

Mr. Soriano stated the last item for discussion concerns a parent of one of my employees. Mom was upset that a lifeguard didn't get lunch when he was supposed to, so she came onto the deck yelling and cussing at our staff. This did occur here. This is one of your residents, so I did talk to your sister district about it also. You can read the statements. I did finally talk to her yesterday, and I just don't think she understands, so at this point I would treat her just like I would treat any other resident if they were out there yelling and cussing  at  people. I would suggest we take the steps we go through and send out a letter and  she would  get the opportunity to come talk to you guys at our next meeting.
Mr. Horton asked this is because her son didn't go to lunch on time?
Mr. Soriano responded she felt  he didn't. She came to the point she wanted  to yell at  the Supervisor and take him out of the lifeguard stand.
Mr. Davis asked she refused to leave after CCSO asked her to leave?
Mr. Soriano responded CCSO didn't get here in time. Our security guards did get here, and they saw the end of this confrontation. She did decide to leave once she understood the trespassing issue and warning there so she did eventually leave. At first, she was refusing. The supervisor she is cussing at and talking to and that wrote this statement is one of our adult supervisors.
Ms. Nelsen asked what is your recommendation?
Mr. Hmton asked Middle Village has to take action on this, right?

Mr. Eckert stated there's a process we have to go through that I think will resolve this issue. First of all, we have to provide a notice and opportunity to be heard. That is their due process rights. We've not provided her with a letter because I think Jay wanted to have that conversation with her, which is standard protocol to figure out if something was going on with that person that day. Now that we know the answer to that, we would keep the card suspended until your September meeting. After this meeting, we will write a letter saying your card is suspended and you're welcome to come to the Board meeting and the Board is going to discuss whether to lift the suspension or whether to lengthen it.
Mr. Horton asked we've told her she's suspended already?
Mr. Soriano responded right now I've told her she's not allowed to be on the property. I did explain coming to the Board and things like that.
Mr. Davis asked what was her attitude like when you spoke with her?
Mr. Soriano responded she didn't agree with me, and she didn't think we could take her privileges. There was a statement I will share with you that she is upset because the supervisor repeated profanity when she was telling her that she couldn't say that word. She truly believes that makes it okay because she did it and that's hypocritical if we're getting her in trouble and not the supervisor. Then it went into, I wasn't really yelling at her, I was yelling at my son. I'm thinking, you're out here cussing at your son, a minor on deck and she didn't quite get that she couldn't do that so she didn't agree and then she hung up on me so  her  attitude wasn't  that great. She didn't present anything to me that would give me any kind of excuse that I could  work with her. That's typically what I would do, especially on a first offense. This is a first offense, however it's kind of a bad one. If we had some teenagers out here  I  promise  I wouldn't deal with that so I do have to look at with consistency.
Mr. Thomas stated start the letter.
Mr. Horton asked did her son quit or you let him go?
Mr. Soriano responded I did let him know his mother's actions don't reflect on him. He was completely embarrassed. But he has been late a couple oftimes and I didn't realize he was gone until I talked to his mom. It's someone that Susie deals with, but yeah,  he's  no  longer with us.
Mr. Thomas asked so we will just start the letter? Mr. Soriano responded yes.

well?

Ms. Nelsen  asked  if this person was a renter, does  the  property owner  get  notified  as

Mr. Eckert  responded  typically  they don't. We're  going to notify  whoever the card   is

registered to because they're the ones that have the privileges that are being suspended. We've never gone back to try to find out who the property owner is to let them know. The property owner and the tenant have to have a lease that they bring to staff to be able to get the cards.
Mr. Horton stated I thought S3 was going to have a representative here at our meetings.
Mr. Soriano stated I will mention it to them that we had this scheduled. They were here last time, so they heard the date, so I didn't remind them this time.
Mr. Horton stated just curious. They might have added something to it.
Mr. Soriano stated they did ask me Friday ifI had gotten the golf carts yet. I've found a couple, but I haven't paid for them yet. I'll respond to them  and say yes, but could  you  be at  the meetings.
Mr. Horton stated I have a couple of questions on the maintenance section of your
report. I saw the graffiti at the bridge, and I noticed you took care of the bridge and you painted it. It seemed like a hard way to fix it.
Mr. Soriano stated it got pressure washed first, but most of the paint came off with it.
Ms. Nelsen asked are we talking about the overpass?
Mr. Soriano responded no, if you didn't get to see it on Facebook I'll bring that disciplinary report to you next month because I still have not gotten a report from Clay County Sheriff's Office on this, but they were involved. They did catch the kids and  they are residents so right now their cards are temporarily off but I'm still trying to find out if Clay County did anything more because if they did then it helps take some of it out of our hands. This was  during the day.
Mr. Davis asked what about some restitution?
Mr. Soriano responded I would look for that, but I can tell you I've never gotten restitution out of Clay County before for their residents.
Mr. Davis stated that's something we need to talk to the Sheriff's Office about. It's costing us money.
Mr. Horton asked how old were they?

Mr. Soriano responded 13 or 14. Once I get the report from Clay County  Sheriffs Office, that will also come with our report for the kid's privileges next month.
Mr. Davis asked what was the age of the other boy involved? Mr. Soriano responded I do not know, but I'll find out for you.
Mr. Davis stated I'm just thinking you can't buy spray paint anymore until you're 18,
so that should fall back on the parents. It's frustrating to spend money on ignorance and vandalism and stuff.
Mr. Soriano stated our off-duty officer wasn't involved, however the arresting officer,
the one that went to the house sent the report to Clay County and not directly  to us so we have to wait for to finish everything.
Mr. Horton asked so they arrested the kids?
Mr. Soriano responded I don't know. They didn't give us any information so I'm still waiting for them. I would have thought something more should come out of this.
Mr. Davis asked did they ask you how much costs are involved?
Mr. Soriano responded no so I don't know if anything more came out of it, like they were going to press charges for something else, which to me makes sense that they  wouldn't just let them get away with a warning when there are monetary damages involved.
Mr. Horton stated the parking lot extension, you talked about that a bit, the striping, the fencing, the landscaping. We haven't really gone out for anything on that?
Mr. Soriano responded no. There will be landscaping going up. Fencing may go up this week so that will be first and then we will get some landscaping in.
Mr. Horton asked what about the striping? It's still blocked off.
Mr. Soriano responded I can take the block off, but there are no spaces, so I wasn't  going to take it off yet. He was going to do the striping with the seal coat, so that's my concern is ifhe can't get to the seal coat quick.
Mr. Horton asked is he still going to do it on the weekend?
Mr. Soriano responded that's what he was hoping for but unless he can do it this weekend, we're down to the minute.
Ms. Suchsland asked are they the ones that put down the asphalt as well?
Mr. Soriano responded yes.

Ms. Suchsland asked have you asked him to clean up on the hedge line where he  dumped the asphalt?
Mr. Soriano responded yes.
Mr. Horton asked what about the woodchipper?
Mr. Soriano responded it's supposed to be in this week. We were supposed  to have  it last week. I was looking forward to playing with it because we cut down  a couple  of trees along the backside of that walkway so hopefully, I will be able to pick it up soon. It does come from the commercial division of Home Depot so they're usually very quick.
Mr. Horton stated just a general comment, I'm on Next Door, which is like a Facebook group, and I noticed Jim Haynes was on there advertising pickleball  at Oakleaf.  Next Door goes out to just about everybody, so we were talking about having outside people coming in here and he's out there advertising, mostly to outside people.
Mr. Soriano stated we were supposed to be joined by the pickleball group. He warned me that they were organizing full force to show up so I'm not sure why they aren't here. However, they do have a lot of outside people. They do have a lot of residents too, but they  have a lot of outside people. That was one of the big things they wanted to ask for was for us to waive fees for guests and I don't agree with that.
Mr. Horton stated I don't either.
Mr. Soriano stated in some fonn or fashion we do that with everything. Even with our sports associations, soccer pays extra in house and then soccer  pays us, so there's supposed  to be an increased rate for non-residents so almost everything we have the non-residents are supposed to pay so I don't agree with not charging them but was one of their big asks and then the other ask was when can we get our courts so I'm still working on that stuff.
Mr. Horton stated I ran across a pickleball page so I joined in. There's a lot of different courts on there so there's a lot of different ways you can do it and not all of them are totally expensive like what we're talking about here. They were fenced in and lights weren't really an option to start off with it looked like so it didn't  seem  like it was that expensive  to get it done so I just wondered if we're going to do that if it was going to cost as much money as we were talking about.

Mr. Soriano stated I can bring you multiple quotes, but we're looking at $20,000 or
$30,000 depending on how many courts we need. That's for taking away tennis and giving to pickleball.
Mr. Horton stated I was talking about to build them.
Mr. Soriano stated to build them is still expensive. You're talking about a good asphalt; concrete overlay and we still have to surface it correctly. Can people do this in their backyard cheaper? Yes. That is our problem with being commercial. I can buy a residential playground, but I think we would get trouble if anybody got hurt, and I have to have the right vendors.
Mr. Horton stated this wasn't just somebody doing it in their backyard, this was cities
too.
Mr. Soriano stated there is one district that is doing it and it is about a quarter million.
They're on the high end and they  like their things nicer, but that is still costs that you're going  to see out there. I could bring quotes on what it costs to build. I would stay away from lights because we already have lights depending on where we're going to put it, but if we have to add electrical that's going to be a higher cost.
Mr. Horton stated to start off with if we're going to have people coming  from other these areas, they need to pay.
Ms. Nelsen asked can we convert a basketball court?
Mr. Soriano responded I would be good with that too. Mr. Davis stated so would I.
Mr. Soriano stated we would hear from those basketball players.
Ms. Nelsen asked there's three, right? Mr. Soriano responded two.
Ms. Nelsen stated I think it would be okay if we took away one. We'd have to get a
quote.
Mr. Horton stated it would cut down on a lot of trouble.
Ms. Nelsen stated maybe ifwe get a quote, we could get a quote for each area.
Mr. Soriano stated right now I'm looking at quotes for painting and changing
something that is already there. If you guys want to look at building brand new, that is going to be even more expensive.
Mr. Horton stated I wasn't pushing for new courts, I was just saying.

Mr. Soriano stated I'm not sure where the pickleball people are as far as what their true thoughts are. They want something now but I can't imagine they are thinking they want standalone courts. I think Jim would like that, but he doesn't expect that anytime soon. He's looking at years down the road. So, what they're asking for is kind of problematic. Let's spend
$20,000 on painting courts and taking them away from tennis, and then in a  couple of years look at building. That's asking for a lot. I don't know if they're thinking about it the same way. He was looking at it as trying to build the program and then they can get standalone courts  down the road. I think we will hear from them constantly.
Mr. Davis stated baseball people ask all the time for covered batting cages. I  guess  come to a meeting three times in a row and you'll get it. There's a lot of people  that want a  lot of stuff around here.
Mr. Soriano asked can we put pickleball courts at the County courts?
Mr. Davis stated the County just took over all of the leases for all of the athletic associations so it's getting interesting.
Mr. Lanier stated if we do at all entertain the basketball courts, we may need to think
about fencing.
Mr. Soriano stated the plan that I had was I have to change  the fencing that is there  right now.

Supervisor's Requests
Mr. Lanier stated VerdeGo, thanks for all you do.
Ms. Suchsland stated I'm glad you appreciate it. I will forward that on to my guys.
Mr. Horton asked just out of curiosity, do you stop cutting when it rains or only when it starts lightening?
Ms.  Suchsland  responded   it  depends  on  how  heavy  it  is.  If  it's  heavy,  we're done
because  it's too saturated.  Some of your areas  didn't  get mowed  last week  because  they were

under water and we're going to catch up tomorrow and Wednesday. If we stopped  every time we would be really behind.
