Financial Statements
Assessment Receipt Schedule
Check Register
Mr. Perry stated we wanted to mention again that ending the fiscal year we were favorable to budget by about $22,000 for the general fund. Our fund balance at the end of the year in the general fund is $138,000, which gives us about $93,000 in excess funds  so out of that $93,000, we're going to transfer $90,000 to the fixed asset accounts for the capital reserve. Also, with the recreation fund we finished the year $81,000 favorable to budget. Our fund balance at the end of the year was $771,000. We have about $500,000 worth of working capital

out of that, so we have a little over $200,000 in excess. We're going to transfer $200,000 to the reserve fund also. When we do those transfers, we will have $1,500,00 in reserves. The fixed asset study, which is just a guideline shows for the end of the year we should  have $1,525,000 so we're right where we need to be. I know we've mentioned this before,  but we will make  those transfers this next month. You have the assessment receipts schedule showing  we're  100% collected. Also, the check register totaling $151,932.38.
Mr. Horton stated I mentioned the return fees last time. Was that just an oversight that somebody didn't put that in there?
Mr. Perry responded correct.
Mr. Horton stated there's one invoice in there for the  usual  Jacksonville  Daily Record, but there's another one in there for the Florida Times Union.
Ms. Nelsen asked don't we have to publish the list of yearly meetings and then the
monthly?
Mr. Perry stated we do the annual schedule and each month. We're not required by statute, but we also advertise on a monthly basis.
Mr. Horton asked so this is the yearly one? Mr. Perry responded correct.

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

Staff Reports

Mr. Eckert stated I met you all informally before the meeting, but again, my name is Mike Eckert and I work with Hopping, Green & Sams. I actually worked on this district from 2003 to 2008. Our firm's plan, if it works for the Board is for me to take over as primary  counsel for the Board. Sarah Sandy you probably won't meet until May, June  or  July  timeframe of next year, and she will also be working with the District. Our plan is to have two attorneys and we will alternate meeting coverage and things like that, and they will be familiar with what is going on around your district and be able to help you out at any time possible. That's the plan we usually have, and that's the plan we will have moving forward for you all.

.

Also, the Governor did not extend the ability to meet virtually  past  November  1'1 We've heard some rumblings that he may revisit that if the COVID numbers get too bad, but at least at this point in time, we are required to have a pbysical quorum present here at the  meeting, which obviously is not an issue for this board today.

Operations Manager - Memorandum
Mr. Soriano stated we have closed off all of the pools and the pool over here at your sister district is open and operating. We've tested the heaters and  gotten our first bill. That  is the adult-only pool. Everything else has gone to a more normalized schedule. We've gotten rid of that 30-minute closure every couple of hours, so now the staff is cleaning around everybody at the fitness centers. We open up until that lunch time close and the evening close and that's it. One thing I am looking at because of the way we've been operating  is actually  getting rid of that one-hour deep clean in the middle. Since we are cleaning so much and we're cleaning around them, I don't know that we really need  it anymore.  In fact, the janitorial service is in  and out and they're not always in that time to get in early, so I've had to deal with arguments from residents anyway on why we close down for that time. It's not going to affect us staff­  wise ifwe stay open as far as costs, because we've also lost an hour from where we don't open

as early. I wanted to talk about it with you guys first, but I am still working with the managers for the front desk area and my staff to make sure we can handle it. We are going to continue to clean around them and that's going to happen for months to come, I don't see that changing, even when things are a little better and people feel safer. Unless anybody has any major concerns with getting rid of that, that's what I'm looking at doing.
Mr. Lanier asked you said in the near future, but is that the plan from here on out?
Mr. Soriano responded I would keep that unless we ever decide to go back to some of those early morning hours, which we haven't had any requests for.
Mr. Soriano continued; we do have a couple of events coming up in November. Our
Turkey Trot fun run is one. I am going to change it a little bit. We are looking at making it a virtual run. It keeps it a little safer and will allow some of those residents that don't want to be around other residents to still participate. I'm trying to figure out how I can finalize  it right  now, but they will probably be emailing me pictures and we will set it up as a game like we normally do and plan it out scavenger hunt style throughout the neighborhood. I'll give them a map and they complete this run on their own time and they email me pictures when they get to their goals and it will prove to me that they went through the whole course. It'll be a way to make it fun and still be free. Typically, we do it the day before Thanksgiving,  or if they show up the day of Thanksgiving with their family, that's really up to them.
Mr. Davis asked have you given any thought to having it be virtual for those that don't want to come into contact with anyone else, and also having it for those that really want to do  it?
Mr. Soriano stated we could. We generally have 50 to 70 people that will show up. The
big part of that is actually schools and the run/walk club. I can do it, I'm just worried that I'll bring staff in to help unless I'm doing it all by myself, and we end up with 20 people.
Mr. Davis stated I know there's the one side, understandably so with COVID, I just know other residents might be upset they can't actually do it.
Mr. Soriano stated I wanted to make a game out of it, and I'm still going to do prizes so
hopefully it will still be fun for people even though they  don't get a social  gathering activity out of it.
Mr. Soriano  continued;  we have the  vendor  here Black Friday  weekend  at your sister
district.  She did  start asking  me about  her planning  for Easter, because  if you remember  she

was hoping to do the Easter program on your side. She hit me with an email today and I'm going to respond just to hold on because we don't know where we're at with these things yet and I don't know about planning this far ahead. I'll give her plenty of time and I think you guys will feel that way too. I have spoken to food trucks about doing movies with them because in the winter months we don't have a lot of those other big activities set up so we will do what we did for the Halloween event where we do a movie on the green and food truck night will be at our parking lot. We have two other events on there that I wanted to speak to you guys about and they are not ours, this is the HOA. If you remember, we had a lady that really wants more in the way of Christmas lights and for years I have talked to Rob about trying to find a way to do that and get them to help out and it would help me greatly because it takes it away from us and we have a little more time to do other things because it does take us about a month to put up all of those Christmas lights. She has organized everything on Facebook. They have two programs they would like to run. The first is the Christmas lights at the entries. They're organizing homes in each neighborhood, so Nature's Hammock, Fall Creek, Cannon's Point, and the Oaks would come pick up the tubs of lights from me, they can add to those lights and I've given her expectations such as only adding LEDs and they can make their entry grand if they want and they're basically competing against those other neighborhoods. My guys will still handle the buildings like the fitness center. She has asked to help out with the main entry into Oakleaf, because she wants it to be some big thing that people come and see but I figured that is one we would do and we're going to take the few signs such as the one in front of the elementary school and the other signs down by the Cottages. She's going to have her groups just handle the individual ones. Each neighborhood will have their own, including the neighborhoods inside Luke Road. They will decorate the columns. We have gotten outlets on pretty much everything and the one or two we didn't I've walked her through how to get power out there. They are hoping to do that this year and pick the supplies from me this week.
Mr. Thomas stated you just said the word outlets. My concern is one extension  cord with another extension cord, with an inflatable and  all the sudden  we're drawing all  of this stuff off and I don't know what kind of outlets we have. Do we have 220s, 120s or whatever is out there.

Mr. Soriano responded 15-amp, and that's why I told them  only  LED  lights so they can't have the inflatables. With the LEDs I can string together about 300 on one line before I even come close to pulling an amp and I have 15 of those in each outlet. If you drove out here last year you saw all of the trees in the center median that we did  out here. There  were about 200 strands together just in the center and we had some of the trees lit up on the outside. That one we did have problems because it's so long, the sprinklers come on, we hit the lights and we blew a GFI. That's different and we go out there and reset it every day. I did have a couple of other rules that I went over with her. No political signage, lighting wording  or anything  like that, no social movement type things and the other thing I didn't want was no adults in the roadways and no children on those signs hanging anything up or standing in the median. I wanted to go over this with you guys and see if there are any concerns. The other program is a little different. They would like to do a tree guard. This was a way they could raise money. If you've ever been to Green Cove they sell a tree to a business, they come out and decorate it themselves, and then they sit and guard the tree at City Hall and  people can walk through and see all of the businesses and it is advertising for those businesses. They would like to start with 10 trees around our concessions stand. The biggest concerns I have is I can't protect their trees. We will give them power and their trees can go out there, but there may be a whole tree that disappears the way things go.
Mr. Davis asked who is raising the money?
Mr. Soriano responded they're asking for sponsorship so the businesses.
Mr. Davis stated I understand that, but who is the business going to give  the  sponsorship money to?
Mr. Soriano stated $30 is going to be paid to a festival committee for the HOA. That's
my other concern is this is the HOA. We're not doing anything with the money, so  this  is money that they're raising and it's going to them.
Mr. Lanier stated I'm assuming it would go into a separate fund, not intermixed with
the HOA funds.
Mr. Thomas asked they're going to put them up on Christmas tree stands around the fieldhouse?
Mr. Soriano responded where the front curve is, that's where they want to go in front of
the concession stand and they want to put a tent out there.

Mr. Horton stated I'm sure they understand the liability if they put them out there. Mr. Soriano stated yes.
Mr. Thomas stated that's my concern if somebody is walking up there and pulling on
the trees and the trees fall down and then we have to call you.
Mr. Soriano stated I did go through that with them pretty clear and I also asked them in their paperwork that they're selling that they make it clear that we're not responsible  for anything and we're also not staffing extra security guards or officers to watch your trees. If it disappears, it's on them and they have to replace it and they said they understood that.
Mr. Thomas stated these things have to be secured so we don't have a tree flying in bad weather.
Mr. Davis stated this probably wouldn't be a huge expenditure, but let's say someone
does knock down four or five trees, do they expect us to put them back up, or are we going to call them to put them back up?
Mr. Soriano stated everything is on them. It's just like us doing any of these other
programs we've done in the past where we're just giving them space such as the expos and vendor fairs. Years ago, we used to have Linda out there doing a lot of work for the Relay for Life and it was the same way. It's a way for them to raise funds, but we're not any part of it.
Mr. Thomas asked how long are they looking at?

",

Mr. Soriano responded they want to put them up December 41 so they will be up for
about three weeks. Mike and I are going to go through our usage agreements and he's going to write up some special wording for me. We are just not going to be responsible for them.
Ms. Nelsen stated we can go around and around with people, or we can just let natural consequences play out. We've been there done that two or three times.
Mr. Thomas stated my biggest concern is trip hazards of electrical cords running out to these trees.
Mr. Soriano stated I've set it up to where the trees are, they're not setting up electrical
cords across the sidewalk or anything like that, so unless people are running around the tree. I can set all kinds of things up with caution tape and they're still just going to go through it. The way they've designed it, they want that front curve where the trees are going to go with a little sign for each company. Right now, they're going to do an arbor across the sidewalk to the side where the soda machines are, and my power comes from that tree on the left-hand side. That

will go over the arbor and will light it up as your entry and the trees stay on one side where there's the extension cords. I told them I didn't want cords going across the sidewalk.
Mr. Davis stated it's like anything else, try it once and either it works, or it doesn't.
Mr. Horton stated it's on them anyway, so it'll probably be okay.
Mr. Thomas stated that's fine. They're just starting with 10. What if it turns into 40 or  50? What if they want more space?
Mr. Davis asked should we approve 'X' amount of space?
Mr. Soriano stated it's approved 10 this year, that's all we're going to do and that's all they've asked for. If this is something that is well received by the neighborhood and we don't have vandalism, then maybe they can get 30 to 40 trees around  that track. I  have to be realistic. I see it being problematic. The one thing Andre and I talked about right before this is what type of trees they're buying, because I asked her where they are storing them. They just had  a meeting this last week and they  were supposed  to go over that. She didn't  give me an answer on everything, but they also need to think about that. They are buying trees. Even if it's successful and they want to go to more trees, where do those trees go the rest of the year? Do businesses keep them and bring them back if they want to be part of it?
Mr. Soriano stated I wanted to make sure that we're clear on those items too so it's one  of the reasons I wanted to talk to you guys about it. I think it's a good  thought and  a  good event. They've been asking us, and the residents have asked year after year for more lights and more events. I can only do so much because I only have so much time and then we also have to talk about how much money it is when there's 13 entries all together and  spending $100 on  each entry, that adds up and that doesn't really look like a lot.
Mr. Davis asked is this something we need a motion for?
Mr. Soriano responded no; this is just for any concerns you guys have. Mr. Davis stated no I'm good. Try it and see what happens.
Mr. Soriano stated moving on to maintenance items I do have a couple of quick things for you. If you've been by the storage building, I have a fence on the outside. On the outside of the storage building going towards the soccer unit, we've already started putting  up  fence screen so you don't even see the building, you see the front because I turned it so  it's point  at the field a little bit so it gives us direct access with the golf cart. Once that fencing goes all the way down the side and along the basketball courts, that's going to be blocked off pretty well. It

will look better. We've talked about this  before; we have some hushes  lining that fence  and that will also help with our fence jumpers. I talked to Chalon and we have a couple of different options for you guys. This one was an option with a little pop of color. These are bottlebrush.
Ms. Suchsland stated I have pictures here.
Mr. Soriano stated also, my plan was viburnum, so Chalon was actually able  to  get them pretty close to run all the way down that side it's a 200-foot length all the way to the front of the storage building down to where the tennis courts start. If we wanted to run that whole thing with a hedge line of seven-gallons for the bottlebrush it would be $3,999.14. If we just went with plain viburnum, which will grow really quick, they're very sturdy, but they're not colorful it would be $3,509.94. I wanted to bring both options to you.
Mr. Lanier asked what's the difference in the hardiness between the two? Ms. Suchsland responded not much at all.
Mr. Davis stated I have some on one of my properties and maybe they're planted too
far apart, but to me they don't box off well.
Mr. Thomas stated squirrels eat these things all day.
Mr. Horton asked is this a miniature version of a bottlebrush?
Ms. Suchsland responded there's trees and then there's bushes.  They're  fast  growing and if you keep them fertilized, which we can do, they keep a little bit denser and we can keep them trimmed so they can push out more.
Mr. Horton asked they don't get much bigger than this is what you're saying? Ms. Suchsland responded no; they will get a little bit bigger.
Mr. Thomas asked so you're looking more for a hedge? Mr. Davis responded the viburnum.
Ms. Suchsland stated the viburnum will be a green hedge. This is just a pop of color.
Mr. Soriano stated really, it's just the idea of color. Chalon  was able  to get a  really good price for those because they are generally more expensive.
Mr. Lanier asked how tall do the bottlebrushes normally grow? Ms. Suchsland responded they can get seven to eight feet tall.
Mr. Horton asked do we plan to cut them back around this size or just let them get bigger?

Mr. Suchsland stated what I priced for you guys is both seven gallons so they're a good-sized plant going in.
Mr. Davis asked over the long term how high do you plan on letting them get?
Mr. Soriano responded I want them to grow as tall as possible.
Ms. Nelsen stated she will trim them so they will fill in thick and will grow tall. I like  the pop of color.
Mr. Horton asked how about around the building itself and on the fence; are we going
to do anything with that?
Mr. Soriano responded not on the other side. That is the back side of the fence. On the other side it's all pine trees so I wouldn't suggest devoting a lot of money to that side just because the coverage and the roots from the pine trees we're not going to get a lot of growth.
Mr. Horton asked how about the two sides?
Mr. Soriano responded the front face where you actually see the metal, we can come up with something there. Originally, I wasn't. That was where that apron was going to go that was going to take up that whole front face but we can shrink the apron to just the door and put something on the sides if you want, because that is the only area you really see. If you go out there now, you don't see that whole side of the building because of the fence and the trees.
Mr. Horton asked you're going to put the fence completely around the building on the
front side there, right?
Mr. Soriano responded just up to the shape ofit. Mr. Horton asked what you have now, is that it?
Mr. Soriano responded no, the carport side isn't enclosed  and there's  a  little walkway on the left that's not enclosed.
Mr. Horton stated but looking at the garage door, are you going to put the fence across

there?

Mr. Soriano responded no. I have to be able to get into the garage door. Mr. Lanier stated on both sides of the garage door.
Mr. Soriano stated oh, up to the side of the garage door? No, I wasn't going to go all

the way up to the side of the garage door. I was going to go up to where the metal starts.
Mr. Horton asked you're going to leave it open to where you can walk right in there? Mr. Soriano responded, no that's flat metal.

Mr. Horton asked but the covered part where you can park?
Mr. Soriano stated that part yes, so it will come up to the edge of the metal building, not the carport.
Mr. Horton stated so you can walk right in there where the go-kart is.
Mr. Soriano stated no, that part will get closed in.
Mr. Horton stated I envisioned the fence coming across the front of it there about three or four feet or something like that, then put one of those sliding gates in there, which would  give you more than enough access.
Mr. Soriano stated this space where the metal actually is, we could add some plants.
Ms. Nelsen stated I say yes, add the plants.
Mr. Soriano stated like I said, that was going to be the full apron for the asphalt. If I ask him to shrink that apron down a bit, to just outside the edge of that garage door, then the whole metal face of the building itself we can put something in front of it to try to hide that metal a little bit.

On MOTION by Mr. Lanier seconded by Ms. Nelsen with all in favor purchasing bottlebrush plants to landscape the area around the storage building in the amount of $3,999 was approved.

Mr. Thomas asked now that we officially have the $3,000 left over for the general fund is that ear marked for anything in particular?
Mr. Perry responded no.
Mr. Thomas stated in thinking of that and all of the projects we've got going, I know you've done a really good job of prioritizing the projects, is  there  anything you've  been pushing off that might be under $3,000 that you might want to go ahead and go forward with? Because we've had to do a lot of shifting with the parking lot and dog park and the nature trail.
Mr. Soriano stated I'm trying to think if there's anything I could spend money on that could make it faster. In fact, now that we've talked about the dog park and  people  know  the dog park is coming, I've got people asking me why we haven't done anything more in the last two or three weeks. That eight-foot fencing that is on the one side of the basketball  court will  be used for that dog park. I need the ten-foot fence to come in to go back on that basketball

court. That means I'm stuck on two projects. I can't even throw more money at it so I'm  trying to think.
Mr. Thomas stated you say the project is on hold because you're trying to do it?
Ms. Nelsen responded because the fencing is back ordered.
Mr. Soriano stated the track should be started this week. He was out here yesterday marking off more areas. Between the track, the apron on the storage building and the parking lot, that is really not going to go faster even ifl could pay him more.
Mr. Davis asked so the answer is no?
Mr. Soriano responded I can't come up with anything. That's our biggest projects  that are centered around one guy doing asphalt; we have the dog park, the basketball court, and the storage building is pretty much done.
Mr. Horton asked you said the guy is going to start on the track?
Mr. Soriano responded yes, I put him towards that first because there are a couple of issues with the parking lot that I have to go through first. We have to dig up a very big pipe under the ground that we can work with so as he starts to grade that I'll just have to stop, let Chalon's crew do work on the main line that runs underneath there so we do have a couple of things that make that slower, so I asked him to start on the track first. I have started to collect costs for you if you want to dedicate that to it, for the seal coating. A 55-gallon drum for the asphalt comes in anywhere from $390 to $500 depending on brands and we're going to need quite a few of those. That handles about 2,000 square feet. I measured  out the track  for you guys today, including going up to the bridges and there's a double circle that goes around the  one playground and that's 2,500 linear feet. It's 20,000 square feet, so each one of those 55- gallon drums are estimated to get me 2,000 square feet.
Mr. Horton asked is it cheaper to spray it?
Mr. Soriano  responded  that's just to purchase the drums. That's  not labor. So right now I need ten of those drums.
Mr. Horton stated compared to the other method where they bring in the truck.
Mr. Davis stated the truck would ruin the track or the field either way because it's so
heavy.
Mr. Soriano stated I don't even know if they would be able to get the truck to the back
of the field. I can ask them to look at that.

excess.

Mr.  Thomas  stated  I  was just  asking  because  the  money  is there.  We will just have

Mr.  Soriano  stated  I'd  like to dedicate  $3,000  to something,  but I  don't think  there's

anything there right now that will make anything faster.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments/ Supervisors'
Requests
Mr. Horton stated we didn't talk about opening up the club room. Is that a discussion? Mr. Soriano stated it is, we said we wanted to talk about that every month but I'm sorry
I blew through that one. They are open over here and the first month they opened up we had a couple of events. Those were events that were pushed off that we already had contracts with earlier in the year that waited. We haven't had anything new. We have had questions about events, but we haven't had anybody ready to do tbeir wedding or anything like that. I do have a couple asking about November and December for this room. So far, we've told everybody your room is not open so nobody has pushed yet. The thought is when do you guys want to open up. We had the election dinner, and nobody was sick for that.
Mr. Horton stated I'm still against opening up.
Mr. Lanier stated we're looking at another spike down the horizon.
Mr. Horton stated I just heard on the news before I came over here IO million people in the United States have tested positive. Everybody thinks nobody is going to die from it. Not everybody is going to die from it, but if they get I6 days in a hospital.
Mr. Thomas stated I thought we had discussed we weren't going to look at this until
January or February anyway.
Mr. Soriano stated we started off with that, and then we said we would talk about it  every month, which we have, and we've decided not to. It's not a revenue generator for you guys.
Mr. Davis stated so we will leave it closed and we will talk about it next month.
Mr. Soriano stated I'm good with it. The HOAs are all doing their things here because usually their annual meetings are larger so there really is nothing pressing that we have to open up your room for anyway.
Mr. Horton stated question for Jim. You see a lot of these around here. Other people
have rooms to, right? Is anybody opening them up?

Mr. Perry responded Nocatee is probably the one that has the most usage just because their facilities are so large. Most districts have opened up, but it's the same  thing.  There's hardly anybody inquiring right now.
Mr. Horton stated I'm just curious. I don't care what anybody else is doing. I don't
think we need to affect our neighborhoods here.
Mr. Soriano stated I'll point out that there's not any complaints coming from it either so that's one of those things that we're not making any money from it and it's not a big need.
Mr. Horton stated the walking trail; I noticed somewhere in there that  they  were looking at widening it and cutting the weeds and stuff back?
Mr. Soriano responded they started today so I'll go out there and look at the first half to see if we need to make it a little wider and then we will do the second half and then you guys already approved the amounts for the bridge so once we get that in we will start looking at the decorative things like signage. It will be a couple of months.
Mr. Lanier asked you're talking about half of it to the culvert?
Mr. Soriano stated yes to the roadside. I'm not sure which one they decided to go with
first.
Ms. Suchsland stated we started from the loop road going back.
Mr. Horton stated you had a walkthrough for design/quote of chemical control/salt
system install. I don't think that's been mentioned before.
Mr. Soriano stated I mentioned it once and a few times with Middle Village because  they will benefit a little more than you guys because they have more water over  the year. I would like to get rid of our setup right now. We use what I call the Walmart of pool chemical delivery. It is nice because we pay this flat rate all year long to operate these  pools. I  would  like to switch over to salt cell system, which would drop us down almost  to $0 dollars,  but those salt cells do have expenses and maintenance. We had a very big commercial one installed on this pool back here, which was a great idea 10 years ago. I would  have told them 10 years ago don't do it because they weren't really well developed yet. That thing costs $7,000 every time it goes out so the change off of putting that big salt cell in, when you add in the maintenance of replacing that cell it didn't save much money compared to our liquid chlorine. I have two problems with our chlorine and acid delivery right now. The cost is higher than I would like compared to a salt pool, but the second is I have to rely on this company because

it's all their equipment. It is horrible equipment. We always get hand me down equipment from some other neighborhood. We call them and ask them to repair it and it's done for free two weeks later, and this whole time I've been having the lifeguards  manually  adjust  everything and we also get algae blooms. It just causes more work, where if you notice a couple times throughout the summer I had to shock the pool and you'd see this extra cost in there from me running to Leslie's to pick 100-gallon pails of a chemical that will help clean up algae blooms. It's something we shouldn't need to do and that big pail will cost a couple hundred  bucks so if we constantly do that it adds up and it's extra time and money so I have been looking  at this a lot and the idea was if I can get it down comparable to that chemical cost of $20,000 a year,  after the first year we would actually be getting a return on investment so I'm working with Crown right now to see if we can even do it.
Mr. Horton asked how much would the equipment cost?
Mr. Soriano responded probably about $10,000 for all three of those pools and then  labor to install.
Mr. Horton asked does the one system work all three pools?
Mr. Soriano responded no; they're separated out.
Mr. Horton stated I think it's a good idea.
Mr. Soriano stated it is a really good idea  if I can get it comparable.  Now, residential salt systems are probably about $40 worth of salt for the whole year. No chlorine, no acid, nothing and it stays in great shape. It's just very hard for commercial comparisons. You  go  down to those big water parks, I did walk throughs back when they were building Aquatica and you see that actual system is the same CDS install as Sea World, but it's really  hard to work  with those guys. They come out of Orland and Tampa whenever I need work done here so that takes a long time too. The commercial setup really hasn't come around. In fact, the way this system is that we're looking at is kind of the way that we went with our heaters out here when  we changed  them  out a  couple of years  ago. They're  individual  sets so I  have this hig  	 [inaudible]  that can handle  a 160,000  or 180,000  gallon  pool and each one handles 20,000 to 40,000 at a time, but if one goes out, I can actually unscrew  it, let the others do the work,  go buy a  new one and screw it back in. It's not something  we're having to shut the pool down for   a day for. It also cannot be considered the primary, so I still have to have a tub of  liquid  chlorine ready to feed that pool, but that's not hard. I'll keep a 50-gallon jug back there. Right

now, we keep 300-gallon jugs back there so we pay all that money for that. This would be a smaller system and it's actually considered the primary and the salt cell is considered the secondary even though it would do all the work.
Mr. Horton asked I can see on here update on remaining columns.
Mr. Soriano stated I was going to ask you guys for that. That was the leftover  portions, if you remember Andre had come out before and made sure we started the first half, although weather-wise I think we probably wouldn't be doing anything  now until about spring  anyway so we might as well hold off and I'll bring back the exact amount to you guys as we get to January or February and we will finalize those last columns.
