TIDRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public	Comment	Period	-	Items	on
Agenda
Mr. Showe: This is the public comment period for items on the agenda. The first speaker form is from Mr. Greg Kurr for Item 5D.
Resident (Greg Kurr, Canterbury): Thank you. I would just like to make a comment or observation about the irrigation system. I know that you are voting on the engineer tonight. I

understand and I'm frustrated as well as far as the additional cost for the bulkheads. I  was thinking more about it the last couple of weeks and there is potentially a significant cost as far as deferring the project. It's probably a two-to three-year-old estimate  already.  I don't  know what the estimate was for inflation, but you have the cost of petroleum and petroleum products. More importantly, there is the cost oflabor. It is not only the state, but the Federal wage is $15 an hour before it goes to a tax penalty for the contractor. That could be a significant cost as  far  as delaying the project. I'm just wondering. It seems that the scope of the project at this point is probably the most important. If you look at the scope and maybe have that review by other professionals including people in the industry or another engineer, if you  have  some  comfort with the scope, you are going to get real pricing in today's world on the project itself, rather than wait a year or maybe more. That is just a thought and I hope you give it some consideration as  you go through this process.
Mr. Showe: The next speaker form was from Mr. Tim Bianchi on Item 6D and others.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I think everyone received the letter that I sent. I am requesting that Mr. Rob Dale as Chairman, go in front of the County Commissioners. We  have our own tax for our fire area in here in unincorporated Brevard County. They want to raise the special assessment by 35% and then a CPI of 3% or less from years on out. I think it is time we pay for our own cutbacks and do our own fires. We need to have a different type of military for us and it's going to have to come from you, unfortunately. You are going  to have to make  time to go and do that. If the entire Board goes in front of the County Commissioners, that would be great, but it's sad that we are taxed wise to do the same job. Everybody  received the letter and  I hope they read it.
Mr. Dale: I hadn't put it into a percentage term or anything like that. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Well, it's 35%.
MI. Dale: For my home, it's roughly 100% and I think my business was 130% or 120%. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): If you are a CDD resident, you are paying twice.
I don't agree with Greg. I think we need to look at the entire design again for  the irrigation project. The contractor as your Government can have a "Request for Equitable Acijustment" for inflation. That's how they get the dollars back. If you have a three-year-old bid and  things  happen in the future like material issues, they can come to you and say, "Hey, we need an equitable  adjustment  and  here's  why."  Jason  can  concur  or  not  concur,  but  that  is  the way

Government works. That's how it happens. So, you were right. If you have to spend more money to do it right, I encourage the Board to do it right. I'm an engineer, but don't deal with irrigation. Spend our money wisely and take your time. I know that we want it done right now, but it may need to be looked at again. Thank you.
Mr. Dale: Thanks.
Mr. Showe: Those are the only two requests we have for items on the agenda. Is there anyone else who would like to speak on items on the agenda? Hearing none,

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Minutes of the February 25,
2021 Meeting
Mr. Showe: For those with electronic agendas, the minutes start on Page 6. We can take any other changes or corrections at this time.

Mr. McCarthy MOVED to approve the Minutes of the  February 25, 2021 Meeting as presented and Mr. Carnesale sec.on ded the motion.

Mr. Showe: Is there any further discussion? Mr. Dale: I read them on paper.

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the Minutes of the February  25, 2021 meeting were approved as presented.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	New Business
Mr. Showe: We can go through the new items quickly since we touched on them at the workshop.

Consideration ofEmployU MOU
Mr. Showe: The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in your agenda package is a different version. We provided you with a revised version. District Counsel reviewed it and made some suggestions, all of which EmployU incorporated. One of the changes  you will notice is  their cover page initially said, "No liability. " Our attorneys felt that was an exaggeration because there is some inherent liability. They took in basically every change that our attorneys and our insurance carrier requested. So, at this stage, we are ready to recommend, if the Board is

amenable, to approve the MOU. That will allow Tim to start working with EmployU on job descriptions and getting that program lined up.
Mr. Dale: Do I hear any motions?

Mr. McCarthy MOVED to approve the EmployU MOU and Mr. Colasinski seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all m favor the EmployU MOU was approved.

Consideration of Bench Donation Policy
Mr. Showe: We discussed the Bench Donation Policy at the workshop. That is in your agenda package. We made all of the changes the Board requested, so we can take a motion or have some discussion.
Mr. Dale: I recommend that the Board approve $1,000 for the benches until next Friday and then bump that up to $1,200. The reason has to do with a few extra costs for shipping. I had thrown in taxes, but Tim made me aware that we are not subject to taxes. The long and short of it is that Pete brought up a great point at one of the prior meetings that we are probably looking at a cost of $300 to lay a pad. So, the $1,200 for the shipping cost and other items should cover it. So, I recommend approving $1,000 as promised until next Friday and then increase it to $1,200 . My other recommendation, and I apologize, Jason, but I have been hard and heavy on the park right now and I would've gotten this recommendation to you in time, is that we should add a rock donation of $500 as part of this for a rock garden. We are not going to have a lot of money to have a huge rock garden, but it's something we can add to over time. I am sure that $500 would cover the cost of any medium sized boulder to fit in with our concept. So, I recommend that we add that also.
Mr. Showe: Is there any other discussion?  If not, we would look for a motion  to approve
a  bench donation of  $1,000 through March  ist, which  will increase  to $1,200 on April  !5•1    We
will also make an amendment to that policy that adds a rock donation of $500 and work with the Chair on laying out some guidelines. We will send the final policy to the Board once it is finalized and, on the website, as well.

Mr. Carnesale MOVED to approve a bench donation of $1,000 through March 31, 2021 and increase to $1,200 on April 1, 2021, amend the Bench Donation Policy to include a rock donation of
$500, work with the Chairman on guidelines, send the final policy to the Board once finalized and post on the website and Mr. Colasinski seconded the motion.

Mr. Showe: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor approving a bench donation of
$1,000 through March 31, 2021 and increasing to $1,200 on April 1, 2021, amending the Bench Donation Policy to include a rock donation of $500, working with the Chairman on guidelines, sending the final policy to the Board once fmalized and posting on the website was approved.

Consideration of Payroll Agreement with ABS
Mr. Showe: We have done a lot of due diligence on this item. Tim reached out to Paychecks so we had comparable items. We asked them to sharpen  their pencil and they did to the tune of an $11,000 savings from what you are currently paying. Applied Business Solutions (ABS) proposed $22,000. Based on savings alone, we recommend ABS, if the Board  is  amenable. District Counsel is still reviewing their agreement. It was something they  could  not get to. So far, the couple of items they had, they had no issue changing. One of the items in the original agreement had an auto renew term and none of our attorneys are ever like that for the CDD. It has a defined term. We either renew it or it ends. They have been amenable to that. They are also adding in a 30-day termination like a standard CDD agreement. So, all of that will be added in and some other minor adjustments. If the Board is amenable, we recommend it.
Mr. Dale: The difference of working with Paychecks versus a partner, which I believe we are going to have with ABS for our International Women's Day of Golf, Blake  the gentleman  that runs ABS agreed to, become our primary sponsor for that event  to the tune of $1,500.  So that demonstrates a commitment to the District.
Ms. Webb: They will possibly give us a check for $1,100.
Mr. Dale: Right. I'm getting a little ahead, but I thought it was relevant that ABS was willing to be a partner with us with some of the things in our District.

Mr. McCarthy: Jason, what is the difference in price between the two companies?
Mr. Showe: At this point, we believe based on their estimated annual cost, ABS would be about $128. Paychecks would be approximately $140. We believe that there is probably about
$12,000 worth of savings. That's probably one year of savings. We expect that there will  be some adjustments in both Workers Compensation and unemployment once they had  some time to outlay it. We believe that's fine, so if the Board is amenable, a motion to approve that agreement in substantial form, subject to District Counsel changes would be in order. Once the Board approves it today, we will let Tim start working with ABS and Paychecks and come up with a good transition date. It will be about 30 days out.
Mr. Dale: Also, they would assist with the health insurance. Mr. Showe: Yes, that's already been processed.

Mr. McCarthy MOVED to approve the Payroll Agreement with Applied Business Solutions, subject to District Counsel changes and Mr. Colasinski seconded the motion.

Mr. Showe: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor the Payroll Agreement with Applied Business Solutions was approved, subject to District Counsel changes was approved.

Authorization to Issue RFQ for District Engineering Services
Mr. Showe: In your agenda package, on Page 127, we have a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for engineering services to publish. Lauren sent out the proposed RFQ with the revised agenda that we would be advertising in the newspaper. The blanks will be filled in  once the Board approves it, subject to the bidding requirements. If you choose to bid it, it will cost probably a couple of hundred dollars to advertise it. One we did recently in Brevard County was around $400. If you approved it tonight, we would be looking at approximately a week or two to get it advertised with a 30-day turnaround. So mid-May, we would look at having bids back in time for your workshop so we could at least hand them out. You can look at them, but we would be looking at the Board ranking them probably at the May meeting. Then you would be looking at around the end of June to transition to that 30-day termination.

Mr. Dale: Would that give them plenty of time to familiarize themselves with the District. Then the January timetable that we were talking about with Tim would fit in with that timetable.
Mr. Showe: I just want to make sure the Board is aware that this is a different process  from regular bidding. Bidders are not required in this case to provide their rates. Some do, some don't, but it's not a requirement. When you go through and rank, you are going to be ranking  based on qualifications. You will see behind that bid, there is draft competitive selection criteria of all the different points that you will be bidding on. So, you will get a scoring sheet and will score each vendor in both criteria. At this point, it's just s discussion of the Board if you want to move forward with bidding out those services.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to authorize Staff to advertise a Request for Qualifications for District engineering services and Mr. McCarthy seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor authorization for Staff to advertise a Request· for Qualifications for District engineering services was approved.

Mr. Showe: We will get that advertised. As soon as we receive bids, we will forward  them to the Board.
Mr. Dale: Okay.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Old Business
Brevard County Lake Planting Grant Update
Mr. Carnesale: We keep calling it that, but it's actually the Viera East Community Focus Group for Stormwater Education. We are running a little behind schedule  but Ms. Terry  Mott and Mr. Carlos Cuevas are in the process of preparing the initial draft for our Strategic Plan. We are more concerned with having a united front in place than making particular dates as we have a better chance of getting grants if we have everything in place. Yes, we have a plan and yes, we have dates, but we don't care if those slide because we are more interested in getting together as one so everybody is presenting the same points to get the grants. That's it.

Mr. Dale: Pete, I'm not asking for a commitment or anything like that, but ballpark roughly, when do you think we would have anything because I think this is a big deal; the linear shelf, the filtration, everything that I've read about keeping the lakes and  waterways clean? This is a huge way to accomplish that. What I would like to see and what I think would be great is this first sample we have been talking about. Are we looking three or four months before we have anything?
Mr. Carnesale: We are looking much further out as far as the sample itself because we are looking at the initial steps, which is our education. That is what we are going to apply to grants for. That's even before you begin to create something. So, you are not looking at the spending of the money and the creating of the shelf immediately. You want to do your education process first to make sure that everybody out there knows what you are doing. Okay? You are only going to need 100 feet of space because basically anybody that owns a house probably has 100 feet on the lake or somewhere in that range within this community. Alright? So, a sample of 100 feet would be enough to see what it would look like in your backyard. Alright? So that's what we are planning on. We reduced the side of it, obviously reducing the cost of it tremendously as well. Okay, but until we actually have the education piece in place where we are educating  people  first, then we know that everybody is on board and you don't have the pushback.  You  are actually applying for a grant.
Mr. Dale: I'm not trying to steal any thunder from the group. I guess I'm of the mind that the two go hand in hand. I think there's enough commitment from the Board. We have to discuss  it further and everything. I'm not saying that the money wouldn't be there if we needed a few thousand dollars to set up a sample shelf either at Suseda Park or Woodside or something like that. So, when you go back to the committee next time, please discuss that alternative with them.
Mr. Carnesale: Okay.
Mr. Dale: Because we are starting to get into fish kill season and I would rather be ahead of the curve on that issue, because some of the HOAs, once they see how the linear shelf is put together and read some of the material and everything, they may decide to jump ahead of us and take care of some of the stuff on their own. We have things in place that we are going to be doing before this summer, but we are not going to get everything done. So, it just gives people alternatives. Does anyone want to add anything to that?

Mr. Colasinski: Pete, did Ms. Mott come up with a price for plantings and did they come up with a design for it?
Mr. Carnesale: That was basically scheduled for the end of April to come up with a dollar
number, but I can go back to them and say, "Look, if the price is reasonable  for the 100 foot, then we are willing to put up $2,000 to start it out," and find out whether or not we can do 100 feet with that.
Mr. Melloh: That figure is important because we have also been talking about midges and
aerators and things like that. That's part of the overall plan, but we  don't know if it's $5 per  linear foot or $50 per linear foot to plant this.
Mr. Carnesale: That's the reason why I'm saying, "Need estimate to do 100 feet." Mr. Dale: A brochure is great.
Mr. Carnesale: We have to quantify it.
Mr. Dale: Yes, people are attention getting.
Mr. Carnesale: The concepts and ideas are great, but in the end, you have to quantify to understand what it will take to make it happen, financially.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Carnesale: We just have to be able to quantify it.
Mr. Dale: I'm just trying to throw the Board support behind you, which is the intent. Mr. Carnesale: Which is good.
Mr. Dale: I'm not trying to pick at you.
Mr. Carnesale: No, no, no. I see that as a positive because it is something that I can bring before them in terms of dollars that we are willing to supply, which we didn't have a number on before.
Mr. Dale: Right. That is an important issue for us. I appreciate you heading that up.

Survey Monkey
Mr. Dale: Are there any updates on Survey Monkey?
Mr. Colasinski: It is ready to go. It is just a matter if we want to survey it. Mr. Dale: I think we are going to have our marketer talk on that issue.
Ms. Webb: I'm writing a couple of them now.
Mr. Dale: Survey Monkey replied that you would like to have that sent back.

Farmers Market/Craft Fairs at Woodside Park
Mr. Showe: We are going to keep this item tabled until May.
Mr. Dale: We are putting it on hold, but this Board has been proactive with that park with the additional sidewalk. Then we discovered between meetings, that we own all of the sidewalks along Murrell Road and into the ditch area. There is a lot of space available for us over at that park. That is the bottom line. Once we get this park done, there are going to be a  lot of neat  things that we are going to be able to do over there.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Can you define what you just said that the CDD owns the sidewalks?
Mr. Dale: We own the sidewalk that parallels Murrell Road in front of Woodside  Park and well beyond that, probably a good 10 to 15 feet, right up until 3 or 4 feet before Murrell  Road. So, it is not that we are going to be parking in the ditch or anything like that, but what it does help is if for some reason we had a big market and people with heavy items needed to drop them off right in front of their tent, they can do so right in front of that area and then park.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): So, you own from Wickham all the way up to the marquis.
Mr. Showe: If you look at the line it's really weird. It literally waves the whole way
through between the HOA and the county. There are no defined lines anywhere.
Mr. Dale: For whatever reason, we own the entire perimeter around Woodside Park.
Mr. Showe: We figured that one out.
Mr. Dale: That's pretty neat.
Mr. Melloh: We don't own all of what we were talking about. The county  owns it. Some of that is county right-of-way (ROW), where we had no parking, but people park there anyway.
Mr. Dale: Exactly.
Mr. Melloh: In fact, the picture on the Property Appraiser website shows  two  cars parking there already, but there are going to be viable parking spaces.
Mr. Dale: Yes. The county wanted a few pieces of land from us.
Mr. Colasinski: I was going to talk about that if you want.
Mr. Dale: There are a few pieces ofland that we can get back from the county.

Mr. Colasinski: There is one piece ofland that they wanted from us. At our last workshop meeting, we discussed that.
Mr. Dale: Are we talking about the piece on the golf course?
Mr. Colasinski: We are talking about the then piece by the lift station. It should be noted that two days ago, the county commission had a meeting and they approved it.
Mr. Showe: We actually approved that a month ago at our meeting and that's why it went to the county.
Mr. Colasinski: Now the county has approved it. So that's already a done deal.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Colasinski: That's not pending.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Colasinski: I'm just saying that we approved it and the county approved it two days ago. So, it's a little late to say, "They are going to want this and we are going to want that."
Mr. Dale: My point is that land that serves no purpose for the county or minimal purpose. We can take that, maintain it and be able to utilize that alongside Woodside Park. So, it's on the table.

Fire Management Budget/Fire Breaks
Mr. Melloh: We did get the new mulcher and heavier skid-steer loader and are using it.  As a matter of fact, we are 95% completed with the fire lines in Heron's Landing. We have some to go back to in Harbor Lakes. This is going to be a hard one to handle. There is a finger in between two houses and a strip of woods. If we wanted to go in and do 35 feet on each side,  which is what you see in a lot of other subdivisions, we can do that, but Viera East was never designed that way. Those two areas are soft.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I'm on the Auburn Lakes Board.  Is  that  the finger that's between Auburn Lakes and Wingate?
Mr. Melloh: Yes, exactly.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): While I understand where  you are going with this, we would like to have the CDD cut the entrance and tip of the finger  because  it's  encroached onto our property. I know what you are talking about. It's so thick in there. You are asking me, but I would ask the Wingate President to see how they feel and then go from there.

Mr. Dale: Lets coordinate this after the meeting. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Sure.
Mr. Dale: I think that's doable.
Mr. Colasinski: Even if we did one side potentially?
Mr. Melloh: I think that is what we potentially want to do. Because in the past when we did that three years ago, we had neighbors flying out saying, "Oh, don't cut this or don't cut that," because they like the privacy. We have to do one side to give them some kind of a break. Again, if fire went right down that finger, that's pretty bad.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Extremely bad.
Mr. Colasinski: What would happen instead of doing 35 feet, you did 20 foot from the middle? It would still leave 15 feet on each end.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): As a Board Member, we don't dictate the distances? We always thought that was a CDD thing.
Mr. Colasinski: Right.
Mr. Dale: Because it's ours.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Residents would like it to be less or negotiated if you will.
Mr. Colasinski: What I'm  thinking about is you wouldn't want it right up to your line and I don't think Wingate is going to want it right up to their line.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Yes sir. Mr. Colasinski: I'm just saying.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I don't think you want a fire.
Mr. Colasinski: We know ifwe go 35 feet, that's what they would like.
Mr. Dale: For the sake of time management, I don't want to get too into the weeds  on this. I understand where we are going with it, Tim. We are going to coordinate this. We are going to make Auburn Lakes happy with what they feel is going to keep their homes safe. I understand that you don't want anything right up to the pool enclosures. So, it is kind of a tightrope, but we will work it out.
Mr. Melloh: Yes.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): We can meet afterwards and talk about it.

Mr. Dale: My understanding, for the sake of time, is we are finishing up Heron's Landing this month. Next month we are in Osprey. Our marketer is doing a good job because I drove into Osprey and on the bulletin board it says, "Fire break clearing next month." I was like, "Wow, that's pretty good. How did they know that?"
Mr. Melloh: We are pretty much on schedule. Mr. Dale: We are on schedule.
Mr. Melloh: If not, just slightly ahead. Now we have the second machine and we will see ifwe can keep it rolling. We are fortunate to have dry weather, so we will keep it going.
Mr. Dale: One of the comments that I did see online, was actually a good comment. I don't know the answer to this one, but is the eastern side of Parkstone part of our fire break maintenance? Because we have the wooded area.
Mr. Melloh: It's not our fire break because we don't have access to that area. There is no way for us to get in there.
Mr. Colasinski: Is it wetlands?
Mr. Melloh: Yes. There are wetlands. It was never added by our Ecologist onto our fire line map.
Mr. Dale: Now if they are having things grow right up onto their patio.
Mr. Melloh: The rule by the State of Florida is if a person has a tree on their side and it encroaches over into your property, unless it's diseased or damaged, the homeowner has no obligation to trim the overhanging part, but you have the ability to trim back to your lot line.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Melloh: That's where we get into a lot of discussions with the homeowners saying, "As you come out of the preserve, you can trim back to the preserve line because we do not have the authority to go onto your property and trim your trees as a landscaper, but you have the  ability to trim back to the preserve."
Mr. Dale: Right. I don't think a lot of homeowners understand what we are talking about when we are talking about fire break maintenance, but we are talking about the homes in the mid-2000's that almost burned down because they have a row of vegetation abutting against their house.
Mr. Colasinski: So, did you get your answer?
Mr. Dale: No. I'm going to pontificate for another five minutes if that's alright.

Mr. Colasinski: You seem to be doing that well.
Mr. Melloh: My report says that's Heron's Landing. You can see how nice that Fecon really mulches that stuff up.
Mr. Dale: It clears that out real nice.
Mr. Melloh: We showed that before when we did it over by the apartments. So, we are moving along well. Steve, based on your request last time, we are going to try to start including other parts of the District like in the scrub jay habitat.
Mr. Colasinski: I saw that when I read through the report.
Mr. Melloh: Right now, we are in nesting season, which is from March 1 through June
We are not able to do any kind of mulching or anything in there, but we are able to go in and treat the exotics like the Pepper trees. They will do that when they have time. We only have a two-and-a-half-man crew. They treat the Pepper trees, Melaleucas, any exotics. We are going to continue to fine tune this, but like the lake maintenance report, overall, the lakes look good, but there is a lot of pollen flying around, which we probably have all experienced. Some people get a lot of pollen in their lakes and think it's algae and it's not. We are getting into the time of year where we are getting warmer weather.

General Manager's Report (Item 7A)
Mr. Dale: We are segwaying into the General Manager's Report. Right? Mr. Melloh: Yeah.
Mr. Colasinski: Thank you for the pollen awareness in case people start asking us.
Mr. Melloh: So, we are getting to the point with the warmer weather where we are going to have some algae blooms. ECOR is on top of it. That is what they do. They spray for it.
Mr. Colasinski: Maybe you can tell us what ECOR has been doing for the last month.
Mr. Melloh: Exactly. The problem with the algae blooms is when you spray and kill the algae. Our lakes are self-contained until you get them to a certain level. So, the algae just stay there. It turns brown, but there is no place for it to go. A lot of times, if you get a heavy rain, it will sink to the bottom. It's good for you to know these things so when you are asked about it, you can tell people and we can help educate people on what to look for in their lakes.
Mr. Colasinski: All I'm asking is if you can just indicate in the report if ECOR has done something for us in the past month.

Mr. Melloh: Okay.
Mr. Colasinski: Just have a line item on the budget.
Mr. Melloh: I understand.
Mr. Showe: If anyone asks you about the algae, by Federal Law, those chemicals are controlled, so once they spray, they have to wait two weeks. They can't touch it again for two weeks. So, if someone comes up and says, "Oh my God, I saw them out  there  and  it didn't work," ECOR is on top of it. They are probably one of the best companies we work with for lake maintenance. Most of it happens automatically. We don't even have to tell  them,  but when we  get a hold of them, they are incredibly responsive.
Mr. Dale: Are you going to include as part of that, the bubblers?
Mr. Melloh: Yes. We selected six lakes and I'm getting a quote from ECOR on those bubblers.
Mr. Dale: Okay.
Mr. Melloh: They included the three lakes over and around Woodhall, where there are a lot of midge blooms, Lake #10, where there was the biggest fish kill last year and Lake #43 from Bayhill. I'm hoping to have a quote from ECOR.
Mr. Dale: I specifically wanted to address that to let any association reading the minutes know that help was on the way.
Mr. Melloh: We are doing that. After that, the Board will just need to approve the  expense. We need to find some homeowners that will allow us to hook into their house for electricity.
Mr. Dale: I just shared with Mary Ann the cost of installing a fountain in Fawn Ridge.
The fountain is very reasonable. It's the cost of the electric that is insane. They were talking upwards of $50,000 to have electric run over to the lake for Bayhill; whereas in one of the other neighborhoods, a resident actually had a bubbler installed and ran the electric to their house. So that's an option for us for some of the lakes where the electric is inordinately expensive. We can tie into somebody's home and then reimburse them for the cost.
Mr. Melloh: Exactly. The only other thing I had for my report was the rounds  and revenue. After a slow start to the month, we are running about $150 per day ahead of budget. So, we are doing well. We had nice dry weather. The golf course is in good  shape and we had a lot  of good play. That's the end of my report.

A.	Action Items List
Mr. Showe: The only item is the dog park. I don't know if you want to give any updates.
Mr. Dale: Yes.
Mr. Showe: It looks like you have been out there.
Mr. Dale: All day. I was out there since 10:00 a.m. this morning. For those who haven't been by Woodside Park, we started the construction on the hill. The total square footage was roughly 3,700 square feet. We brought in 11 truckloads of fill and we have grossly  underestimated the amount of fill that we are going to need to complete the hills and filling in some of the dog park area. We are probably going to need about 25 to 30 more truckloads of fill. So that is on the agenda and being addressed by our construction General Contractor (GC). The large doghouse in the dog park is currently being completed. We have the sidewalk path that this Board voted on currently being framed out or about to be framed out. I went through it with the GC today. He was going to start on the lines, but the tree that we moved over into the playground wound up saving the District a whole lot of money, but took a lot more time today than we expected. Our GC probably saved this District close to $10,000 in the past couple of days. It would've cost us a couple thousand dollars to buy a tree for the playground. We have a dead Oak tree that we are in the process of removing. It would have cost us a couple of thousand dollars to remove it. For those of you who haven't been over to the park yet, our GC and his team rented a cherry picker and they cropped underneath pretty much a substantial  amount  of Oaks at that park.  What  he did  looks  fabulous.  It  probably  would've  cost  this  District  at  least  $6,000 to
$7,000. It was sorely needed. Our GC is Mr. Dave Bell. Along with saving us a lot of money, he  is also handling all of our permitting. For example, for the swing set that we purchased  prior to the new Board taking over, the previous contractor charged us $2,000 for permitting. That is something that Dave took care of. So, he is doing a lot for the District. The equipment for the playground for the most part has been ordered, primarily the slides, spiderweb net, etc. We are in the process of setting up volunteer days. The first volunteer day is going to be on April 17th• We are going to have pallets of sod one way or the other delivered on April 16 and  a lot  of things that our Lifestyle Coordinator will talk about by the way of volunteer opportunities. Hill Construction should be complete, at least as far as the dirt goes by April 17 th• In fact, it has to be completed  because that is when I plan on putting sod on these hills. They are big and are going to

be impressive. Then we are going to have to wait a month to let the sod grow into the hill and purchase and deliver of a boulder from Landscape Depot. The main thing that I'm having trouble with is I'm  trying to get someone to deliver it for free. Apparently,  it's kind of a big deal to have a 6,000-pound boulder delivered. You can't just put it in the back of a  4x4. So, it has been a  bit of a challenge. Eleven pallets of sod are what we are currently working on having donated. I  have a couple of people working on that. If it doesn't go the way we want it to then we are going to have to purchase some sod, but I have high hopes that can be delivered. We are trying to be as frugal as possible. There was a comment made on social media about whether there were going to be any handicapped equipment in the park. At first, I was saying, "Well, no we have the tree, the boulder and all of this." Then as we were putting together the plan for the park on the 16x16 pad that Mr. Bell our contractor is going to be building, as I was looking at it, I noticed that it is right next to our swing set. I had Tim do some pricing on a handicap swing that is specifically made for an existing swing set. It is roughly $1,200.
Mr. Melloh: $1,200 plus shipping. So, it could be $1,800.
Mr. Dale: One of the things that I am asking of the Board to approve this evening is
$1,800 for a handicap swing.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): Will there be a platform for a wheelchair?
Mr. Dale: No.
Mr. Colasinski: That is a good question. Do you need a special platform to be able to use that swing?
Mr. Dale: They have two types of handicapped swings. I had an extensive conversation
over at Chick-fil-a before the meeting with our Playground Consultant/Lifestyle Coordinator.  The first swing is the kind you can just roll a wheelchair onto. The second is one where a child is strapped into a large chair. On consultation with my Playground Consultant and then Tim, we concluded that we need a swing that is a chair kind, not the kind that you just roll a wheelchair onto. We didn't want people rolling seniors onto a swing that may not meet the weight capacity of that particular chair. This one is made specifically for our swing set.
Mr. Melloh: We met with the same contractor that provided us with the swing set that we have. I think it is the one that comes down on top of the child and keeps them secure.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Colasinski: Are you requesting a motion for the swing?

Mr. Dale: Yes.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to purchase a handicapped swing for the park in the amount of $1,800 and Mr. McCarthy seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: Thank you. Is there any discussion on the purchase of the swing? Hearing
none.

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor purchasing a handicapped swing for the park in the amount of $1,800 was approved.

Mr. Dale: That touches my heart. I will have our Lifestyle Coordinator post something. I'm sorry for getting a little emotional,  but it is a good thing  we are doing. The first bench that  we have for the park was purchased by me. I wanted to install it right away, so we had a sample for people to view. We are going to have that delivered on Monday. I have already seen the engraving on it. It looks phenomenal. If we are going to put it in the park, we may need to chain that up until we get the pad built.
Mr. Melloh: That's a good idea because I know you wanted to show people. We have  locks and chains and should be able to chain it up to something. We need to figure out where to put it and then we will chain it up somehow so people don't walk off with it.
Mr. Dale: Good.
Mr. Carnesale: We also have a picture.
Mr. Dale: We are going to have a first-hand sample for people to look at, which is going  to be phenomenal. I'm usually there most afternoons, after 3:00 p.m. Some days I'm  there  all  day. Please contact me. This is mainly for the Board Members, but any resident also. If anybody wants a tour of the playground and where everything is going to go, I'm happy to show you how wonderful this park is going to be. The last thing regarding the playground that I'm going  to throw out for the Board and the reason I'm talking a lot about benches, is we have a  need for  three more benches; two for the dog park and one for the playground. We need to get these ordered right away so the engraving and the arrival of the bench coincides with the park opening. Does the Board wish to purchase a bench on behalf of the CDD? I was thinking that we could

have a bench to thank our GC and Mr. John Casey for all of their hard work every day on this park. That's one option or we can dedicate the bench for someone else.
Mr. Colasinski: I agree with the purchase of a bench for Mr. Casey and Mr. Bell for the amount of work that they are doing. It is one thing to save money on capital resources, but they are putting in a lot of their personal time and expertise. Someone like John is not someone we  can hire easily either. John has experience building dog parks. Dave is an excellent contractor.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to purchase a bench to thank the contractors for their help with the park and Mr.  Carnesale seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: Would anyone like to add anything?
Mr. Carnesale: I think it's a great idea. The only question would be the verbiage considering the size of the bench.
Mr. Dale: Right. There is enough for two lines, 45 characters per line.
Mr. Carnesale: That's what I'm saying. We need to figure out the phraseology. That doesn't have to be decided at this meeting.
Mr. Showe: I think you would delegate authority to the Chairman. Mr. Carnesale: I agree.
Mr. Dale: I don't want to decide. I want everybody to be happy, if that's what we choose
to do.
Mr. McCarthy: I think it's a good idea and I agree with it.

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor purchasing a bench to  thank the contractors for their help with the park and delegating authority to the Chairman to approve the engraving was approved.

Mr. Dale: We will wind up paying $1,000. Actually, our rate will be less. Mr. Showe: Tim can write that check.
Mr. Dale: I will get with you and we will order it from American Recycling. I recommend that we probably place that one, but I think the immediate need is the dog park. That's all I have on the dog park.

Mr. Showe: The only other item on the Action Items List that we haven't covered yet are the fountains. Tim was able to get an electrical quote, which I provided to the Board.  We received it late today. The electrical quote to run the wiring at the park is $7,550. The cost for a three-horsepower fountain is $8,135. So, you would be looking at about $15,685 for the  electrical work and the fountain. Based on the pricing of materials, equipment and everything else, I recommend that the Board approve a not-to-exceed of $20,000 because of what we have been seeing in the marketplace in terms of material costs and items. It is up to the Board if you want to move forward with that.
Mr. Dale: At the workshop, we talked about the electrical having multiple purposes, i.e., any potential sign that we might want to put there in the future.
Mr. Melloh: The electrician said you have no extra amperage.
Mr. Dale: There is no extra amperage. We wouldn't be able to put an outlet by the fountain.
Mr. Melloh: Yes. We told him that and he said it was only 60 amps. Now we are meeting
with Florida, Power & Light (FPL) to talk about what we are going to do about electricity at the road for a potential sign. We may be able to bring some electricity off of that.
Mr. Dale: Okay.
Mr. Showe: It's something you could hold too, if you wanted to wait to see what your options are.
Mr. Colasinski: I would want to wait to find out what happens with FPL because it's stupid to run something that is going to cost up to $20,000, then start getting a price for the other one, which would get power from another source and pay twice.
Mr. Melloh: The good thing about doing this now is w,e have to trench through the playground to get the electricity out there. When we get that done, you would have the fountain and we would just to figure out another way to get electricity.
Mr. Dale: Forgive me for asking a stupid question. I'm not an electrician, but if we were to run electric to the sign from the same location and do another run to a sign, would we have that option for another $7,500?
Mr. Colasinski: It depends on the transformer you put in and how much power you are drawing off of the main feed.
Mr. Dale: Right.

Mr. Colasinski: That's the key. I think we are talking about a 60-amp circuit here and a 50-amp breaker as well. Is that just for one fountain, Tim?
Mr. Melloh: Just for one fountain.
Mr. Colasinski: That's a heck of a fountain. Sixty amps is a lot. A lot of that has to do with if you want to put in a transformer to get more than 60 amps. It may be a higher cost, but it does give you some further flexibility for other options in the future if you wish to extend electrical service for another need.
Mr. Melloh: That is what we are going to talk to FPL about. Mr. Colasinski: Okay.
Mr. Melloh: We have an appointment with them to show them exactly where we want to put the electronic sign if we are able to get it. Then they are going to tell us what we need to do to get electricity to that point. We are going to tell them, "We want to be able to take a feed off  of that and run it into our park."
Mr. Colasinski: A lot of this has to do with the transformer that will be installed there and how much current you need. We can have it whatever we want it at. I recommend more than 60 amps.
Mr. Melloh: Yeah.
Mr. Colasinski: I think having a larger size transformer is going to be a better value than putting more and more pumps out there because pumps are expensive. I don't know the cost of going up in amperage or the power levels, but I'm  hoping it's a better scale than what we have for the fountains as far as the cost.
Mr. Dale: I agree. I like the idea of having more flexibility with the electric, but I'm also weighing it against what Tim is saying. Is there a way to craft a motion to have consensus by the Board at our workshop? That buys us an extra two weeks and gives us a chance to shop FPL. What I don't want to do is wait another month.
Mr. Showe: I would craft a motion that would delegate authority to the Chairman to approve up to a not-to-exceed amount of maybe $20,000 to move forward on this. So, if we see FPL is charging too much, you have the authority to move forward.
Mr. Dale: Right.

Mr. Colasinski: It talks about a 240-volt 60-amp power supply. That seems like a different box than the actual transformer that would be in place. When I read it, that is what it tells me. Is the FPL work separate than this?
Mr. Melloh: Yes. We could do this pump right now if we wanted to because we have enough service at the restrooms to be able to run the 60-amp pump. It's $750 to run it across the field, trench it across the field and set the box when the fountain company comes in.
Mr. Colasinski: So, what I'm getting at by having a larger transformer with larger power coming out of it, is the 60-amp power supply and then the fountain. If we get the larger transformer, then we can hook up this power supply to a single fountain.
Mr. Dale: I'm asking the Board for essentially what Jason crafted, but I would increase it to $25,000, not that I want to spend $25,000.
Mr. Showe: I wanted to give you flexibility because what we have seen in the last month and a half is if you don't approve the price now, it's $5,000 more in three weeks.  It is just the way things have been.
Mr. Dale: It would essentially be a gentleman's agreement. If I'm getting any heavy resistance at the workshop from what is explained by Tim, I wouldn't exercise that authority.
Mr. McCarthy: Jason, this is not a line item. Is this coming out of the bond or Capital Reserve Fund?
Mr. Showe: It's up to the Board. You have some flexibility in your bond funds to spend money on some things that weren't in your plan. So, you have funds to allocate from  the pavilion. There's a contingency that you can utilize the funds from and there are funds available in your bond funds.
Mr. McCarthy: Could monies be used out of the Capital Reserve Fund?
Mr. Showe: It could be out of either one. They are both legally available sources of
funds.
Mr. Dale: Right. Between the dog park, playground funds and the pavilion that were
allocated from the bonds, there is roughly $200,000. I'm not planning on spending  anywhere near that amount.
Mr. Carnesale: I'm looking at it in line with Steve's comment. Unless we can get the transformer, I'm not so sure we want to go that route at all.

Mr. Dale: That's pretty much where I'm at. I want to have the flexibility to be able to utilize the entire park.
Mr. Carnesale: They are just running one line.
Mr. Dale: It doesn't make sense. I'm asking for a motion at this time to authorize
$25,000.
Mr. Showe: The motion would be a not-to-exceed amount of $25,000 and delegating authority to the Chairman after the workshop to either execute or not execute any items up to
$25,000 for the fountain and electrical.
Mr. Dale: We will discuss that at the workshop. Mr. Colasinski: Okay.
Mr. Melloh: We are not going to do anything yet until we get the FPL easement.
Mr. Colasinski: Hopefully you will have that before the workshop.
Mr. Carnesale: We have four options when it comes to the power transformers.
Mr. Melloh: The idea in the beginning was to run an electronic sign off of this and we wanted to be able to run some power into the park. What would we do with the power in the park?

for.

Mr. Colasinski: I think there are a lot of special events that we can probably use power

Mr. Melloh: We have to put stubs out there and trench more.
Mr. Dale: I think we would have an outlet out there and it would give us the capability

for the sign, which I fully intend on doing the full four court press on. We are going to get the sign.
Mr. Carnesale: It's a matter of how long it is going to take to get the permit. We may get
denied by all of the sections of the county, but I think we have enough connections with the commissioners of the county to bypass that. We can't do that until after the denials.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Carnesale: As weird as that may sound.
Mr. Dale: It just buys us the flexibility. I think that I would like to see a box out towards the center.
Mr. Melloh: We talked about where the sign would go if you recall. It would be just past the entrance to Crane Creek Boulevard.

Mr. Dale: That might be premature because I want to run power to the sign, but I'm thinking about an outlet or a couple of outlets where the cattle fence is  going to be in the center  of the field.
Mr. Colasinski: So, the way this is going is you are going to have the transformer fairly close to where the current power feed is near Woodside Park. Then you can put your power supply for the fountain at another location in the park such as right next to the transformer. Then you run your line to the pump.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to approve a not-to-exceed of  $25,000  and delegating authority for the Chairman to execute any agreements for fountain and electrical extensions for Woodside Park after the workshop and Mr. Carnesale seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: Is there any discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor approving a not-to-exceed of
$25,000 and delegating authority for the Chairman to execute any agreements for fountain and electrical extensions for Woodside Park after the workshop was approved.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS
General Manager's Report
This item was discussed.

Staff Reports

District Manager's Report
Mr. Showe: I just have other items under the District Manager's Report.  I  regret  to inform the Board that we had a computer error in our office, so we missed the advertisement for the rate hearing that was supposed to occur at the next meeting. So, we are going to push that to the May workshop, which is two weeks later. We will have the hearing before the workshop.
Mr. Dale: Can we remind me again why we need a rate hearing?
Mr. Showe: Because you wanted to raise fees. It is a rate so you set those by rule of the District. So, it is a different progress to adjust those rates.
Mr. Dale: That requires a hearing.

Mr. Showe: Correct. It requires a public hearing. Any time you are setting a rate, it requires a public hearing. We had a computer that completely went  down  and by the time we sent it to the newspaper, we just missed the 30-day notice.
Mr. Dale: I understand.
Mr. Showe: So, we will get that coordinated.

Consideration of Requisitions #33 - 36
Mr. Showe: Requisition #35 wraps up the bulkhead,work. Requisition #33 is for some oversight of the bulkhead work. Requisition #34 reimburses the District for the Ford F-250 and Requisition #36 is for Natural Playgrounds for some of the playground equipment. I can take any questions or comments on those at this time or a motion to approve.
Mr. Colasinski: So that bulkhead of $69,000 is already part of what was initially approved. Are they just now getting the check?
Mr. Showe: Yes. That was the retainer for the work. Once it is approved by the District Engineer, this will be the final payment to the vendor. I think there is still one engineer left for their oversight in wrapping it up, but that is the final payment for the work.
Mr. Colasinski: Okay.
Mr. Dale: So, we need a motion to approve the requisitions.

On MOTION by Mr. Colasinski seconded by Mr. Carnesale with  all in favor Requisitions #33 through #36 were approved.

Lifestyle Coordinator Report
Mr. Showe: Rob, under staff reports, did you want to hear the Lifestyle Coordinator Report?
Mr. Dale: Yes, let's do that.
Ms. Webb: We've been busy. I worked with Melissa at GoltNow. We have some great things going on. I just need to know if the Board is okay with them. Tim, I don't know if you make the decisions or I make the decision or I have to get Board approval on the gift cards that  go through GolfNow. I will give you some literature on it. It doesn't cost us anything. People can go online and order gift cards for the golf course without any problems or hesitation. We already went through the business plan already.

Mr. Dale: Jason, just for the future, is that a Board decision or Tim's decision?
Mr. Showe: I think this is more for knowledge. If Tim is okay with it, I don't see a downside. There are no charges. It is just an expansion of services.
Mr. Melloh: I was telling Michelle earlier that there are companies out there that will do the same type of thing, but they only pay you when the gift card is redeemed.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Melloh: We sell gift cards, but we get the money when you book out the revenue, but about 16% of those gift cards are never used.
Mr. Dale: The is free money for us.
Mr. Melloh: But there are companies out there that don't pay you until the gift cards are used and they get the money. That was why I was just making sure that  is not what this is going to be. We get paid when the gift cards are sold. I think this is a great deal. It's a good partnership.
Mr. Colasinski: It's a good partnership, but we may want to consider selling our own gift
cards online.
Mr. Dale: That is what she is doing.
Mr. Colasinski: If somebody buys the gift card, who gets the money from this? Ms. Webb: The golf course.
Mr. Colasinski: Do we get money after they spend it or upfront?
Mr. Showe: I think Tim was saying there are other services that you don't get until they spend it.
Ms. Webb: For this one, when they sell it, they will send the money over.
Mr. Melloh: It sounds like a no brainer. Mr. Colasinski: I agree.
Ms. Webb: One of our golf courses up north generated $1,800 in revenues in one month because of selling gift cards online. It was basically people from other states could  buy  a  gift card for someone who lived in Florida. Right  now, you have to call them and I guess they  have  to take the order over the phone.
Mr. Melloh: It's great.
Ms. Webb: It's a process. We have to promote it and say, "Hey, you can buy gift cards."
Mr. Colasinski: The one good thing about this is for instance at Christmastime, if people are heading to Florida for the winter, their family can buy them these cards as a gift.

Ms. Webb: It is all done virtually, which is what a lot of people want. Mr. Colasinski: It goes right along with what Dave said.
Ms. Webb: So, this is V-Gifting. Once we get it going by next week, it will be marketed before Father's Day and Mother's Day.
Mr. Carnesale: You have to use a credit card. Ms. Webb: Pretty much.
Mr. Carnesale: Who eats the convenience fee that the credit cards charge?
Ms. Webb: It is all through GolfNow. We already pay a fee with them for their use.
Mr. Showe: It's for the vendor that we already use for all of our golf reservations.  There is no downside on this one. As long as there is no objection from the Board, we will let Tim get  it going.
Ms. Webb: Knowing everybody is okay with it, is almost like saying, "Go ahead and start
it."
Mr. Colasinski: That is just a cost to the District. They will call Tim and he will train staff
on how to redeem.
Mr. Melloh: It's a no brainer for me. We have a lot of walk-ins where people buy a $50 gift certificate for their dad for Father's Day. Then we get phone calls where someone wants to buy a gift certificate and mail it to the receiver's house. We have to jot down the credit card number, which is not PCI compliant and take it to the shredder. That is not a great way of doing business.
Ms. Webb: It costs you money to send it.
Mr. Showe: It is like an Amazon gift card except it's for Viera. You just email right to
them.
Mr. Dale: Did you fully address the online store?
Ms. Webb: I haven't. We are just doing one thing at a time. I will let Melissa at  GolfNow
know that the Board wants to implement that. She will start marketing it right away. There is another option called Squad.Locker. This is an online apparel store set up through GolfNow. They handle all of the apparel. The pro shop doesn't have to add stock or inventory. People just call them and say, "Hey, I want a Nike shirt with the Viera East Golf Course on it for my Dad" and buy him a gift card and shirt. They will produce it and send it out. We get 10% of any sales.

It is just basically an online store that will market Viera East Golf Course and we get money from it.
Mr. Colasinski: What do we end up losing out of our pro shop? Mr. Dale: Nothing. It's all online.
Ms. Webb: They have women's apparel, kids apparel and a lot of options that we don't have in the pro shop.
Mr. Showe: Do you know if they provide us reports of what is selling because it might give Tim an indication if they are selling 100 Nike shirts.
Ms. Webb: I'm sure I can get one.
Mr. Showe: They can give you some data that you don't already have.
Ms. Webb: That way if somebody says, "I really want an Under Armour shirt," we can put the Viera East logo on it. That way they have them and it gives a bigger market for what we can sell without us selling it.
Mr. Melloh: Like you said, online orders are by people who probably live out of the area. Ms. Webb: They are ideal for the holiday season. That's just added money.
Mr. Dale: For me it's a no brainier. It's another arrow in the quiver that we are able to offer to residents.
Mr. Showe: The only thing I will ask is if they have an agreement that we have to sign, send it over to me so I can take a look at it. We want to make sure that we are not signing up for something. We also want to make sure that someone doesn't order from there and then go to the pro shop and say, "Oh my God, I ordered this shirt and it's terrible."
Mr. Dale: They want their money back.
Mr. Melloh: We don't carry Under Armour or Nike. If they bought it online and they go back to the pro shop and say they want to exchange it, they can't.
Ms. Webb: They have to do it online.
Mr. Showe: That's alright. We just want to look at the agreement.
Ms. Webb: I just want the Board to basically say, "Yes, we want to put more time into

it."

Mr. Dale: Perfect.
Ms. Webb: So, we will do that. I already told you we have sponsors for Women's Day.

Tim and me and Divots have all been working hard to create a three-month calendar. I think we

have some fun events that we will start to advertise and put on the website. We are also working on a new website. It will be done within 45 to 60 days. We gave them an  outline. They  will put in everything we talked about. They will send it to us and we will send it back to them.
Mr. Melloh: I want to send them new pictures because we have some hi-resolution pictures. They are using some of them right now and we just need to change some of them out. Then we can advertise. Divots is actually offering more promotions. We are putting together a bourbon tasting on the porch the last Thursday of the month. Things like that will be added to Divots. There is a lot of park attention. With my posts, you reached almost 10,000 people. The dog park was actually visited by 13,585 people as oflast night.
Mr. Dale: I don't want to just brush over that. I just want to make sure that the Board understands. It is a very large number. It doesn't just happen. Are you going to address the issue? I'm trying not to steal your thunder.
Ms. Webb: We have 432 followers on our COD page. We actually beat the dog park.
They are at 379 followers. So, the park itself is getting a lot of news.
Mr. Dale: That is a 100% increase in the past week. This is what I want to stress to the Board. It is a very prolific increase in viewership of everything that the District is doing online.
Ms. Webb: It had over $2,800 exchanges, which is a lot. Steve helped out. Mr. Carnesale: How many realtors are sharing this information?
Ms. Webb: I don't know.
Mr. Colasinski: I've seen at least five who have actually gone and taken that Facebook page and shared it.
Mr. Dale: To include the President of the Association.
Ms. Webb: Looking at the balances of the online activity, there is a lot of activity on your sites. I am working with the golf course to track those. So, we are going to become very popular. We are going to be in a magazine.
Mr. Dale: A national magazine. When those parks open up, it is going to draw huge attention to our District and increase our home values. That is already going up because people want to come in here. I know everyone is getting nervous about how many  people are going to  be here, so we talked about parking and things like that. It has been busy. The Brevard Zoo is excited. They want to partner with us. They have a nature club and want to adopt our park. So  that is going to be a huge addition for our community because they don't do it for any other

community. So, we have some really good things. They are going to add bug boxes. They are actually bug repellents along the path that will pull insects away from the parks. Sometimes animals, critters and bugs like to start nesting in them. So, I added bug hotels. We are going to have volunteers on the 17th for painting tires, laying sod, completing dog houses, stripping and sanding and removing the big dead tree. I don't know if you guys realize the cost for removing a dead tree. It averages out to $18,000 and up. It was a tree that was hit by lightning. That tree would've cost us about $18,000. I was trying to get donated trees.
Mr. Dale: It just got placed today. It was today's project.
Ms. Webb: Anytime we need to replace it, we just need to put a lightning rod on the tree. We even talked about contracting with Ms. Betsy Farmer. We have relationships with her to see what else we can do such as having more handicapped equipment because we have a lot of handicapped children around here. So, there is a lot going on. I did my outline and I'm on the third page. I'm supposed to only work on this eight hours a week, but it has gotten way more than that and it's great. I'm donating more time because this is what our community needs. I'm here a lot more for the families. They are happy that things are now family oriented. Some families wanted to know more about the golf course. So, it is definitely connecting the two. I asked Jason to give you guys a bulletin board sign request.
Mr. Melloh: I handed that out.
Ms. Webb: I see a lot of people at the park and when they see me, they are now recognizing me. They say, "I'm not on Facebook and it's not on the CDD website, but could we put up something like that." The purpose is so people can get informed that aren't social media savvy.
Mr. Dale: Do we need a motion for that?
Mr. Showe: Yes, a motion to have Tim purchase that sign.
Mr. Colasinski: One thing about signs, there was a request by a resident to alleviate some of the foot traffic coming through their yard. The orientation of the trails at Woodside Park is a back-to-back U shape. People tend to get lost on the trail. They  don't know where they are so  they see a home and walk through the yard to get back out to the street, to something  that's known on the GPS System. So, we had a request of putting some signs on the trail to provide direction and maybe a distance measurement at either end of the trail. I don't know if that's something we can use these signs for.

Ms. Webb: They have smaller signs like that, that you can put maps on and put them on the trail.
Mr. Colasinski: We can have a sign saying, "You are here."
Ms. Webb: Right. So, they understand this is how the trails work.  We can totally do that. I can post things that the golf course is operating down at the  park. I did  some research on what is going on with golfmg right now and the advertised age is 18 to 34. A lot of them are now interested in golf. They are helpful to the golf course. I thought it would hurt the golf course, but they are actually  helping because now there's a larger interest. A lot more women are interested  in golf. I think there was a 24% increase in 2020 for women getting into golf. So, we might want to get more women golf days at the golf course from now until June 1s•t
Mr. Dale: We need a motion for the bulletin board.
Mr. Colasinski: Did we put a price on that?
Mr. Showe: It's $650 plus shipping so I would approve a not-to-exceed of $1,000.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to purchase a bulletin board in an amount not-to-exceed of$1,000 and Mr. Murphy seconded the motion.

Mr. Dale: It is not so much a sign, but a bulletin board. It is an enclosed bulletin board. It is locked so we can put things in it and move it. That way if people are asking, I can say that  there a place to post what's coming up. There are openings and grand openings.

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor purchasing a bulletin board in an amount not-to-exceed of $1,000 was approved.

Ms. Webb: Thank you.
Mr. Showe: Is there anything else?
Ms. Webb: That's it. Divots is still having the Bourbon Night. There are good  some things coming up like a Casino Night on April 3rd and a sign along on the porch. It would be a nice event for people to go to that is outside.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Treasurer's Report - Consideration of
Financial Statements
Approval of Check Register
Mr. Showe: Tim and I can answer any questions on those invoices.

On MOTION by Mr. Colasinski seconded by Mr. Camesale with all in favor Checks #4125 through #4157 from the General Fund in the amount of $75,060.85, Checks #82 through #84 in the amount of $72,846.26 and Checks #28415 through #28492 from the Golf Course Fund in the amount of $100,113.94 for a total amount of
$248,021.05 were approved.

Balance Sheet and Income Statement
Mr. Showe: No action is required by the Board. The golf course is doing well for the  year. Assessments were over 90% collected so we are in great shape. If you have any specific questions, in the interest of time, just let me know and we will cover those. All account lines are in good shape.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS
Mr. Dale: Pete, do you have anything?

Supervisor's Requests

Mr. Carnesale: Not at this point. I think Tim was talking about the Viera East Community Focus Group (VFW). Right?
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): We were doing extra things. I will let her speak
to that.
Mr. Colasinski: We were talking about the change in price. I wanted to make sure he was
on target with it.
Ms. Webb: I have it.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Members of the VFW were at our meeting and approved the bench.
Ms. Webb: He was going back to their Board to see if they wanted to spend money on the bench or a light pole.
Mr. Colasinski: The only reason I was talking about, at this point, the timeline of April 1, is we don't want to push him into it.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I think we are grandfathered in.

Ms. Webb: I already gave them the form and everything else. Mr. Dale: David, do you have any Supervisor requests.
Mr. Bedwell: I have two. Is there any way Jason that you could publish out to the
community the phone number and code that I key in so people can listen to the meetings?
Mr. Showe: Yes. It is right on the website, but we can amend the website. It's on the agenda, but we can see if there is another way to distribute that out. Maybe on the Facebook  page.
Mr. Dale: We can add that.
Mr. Bedwell: The second thing is that I think Michelle should be added to the agenda. She had an excellent report. If she is going to talk, we need to have an item on the agenda for her to speak.
Mr. Showe: I have it on my notes for the next agenda.
Mr. Bedwell: Those are my two requests.
Mr. Dale: Thank you, Dave. Paul?
Mr. McCarthy: Nothing from me.
Mr. Colasinski: I have one. Just before this meeting, I had a brief discussion with Mr. Pete Carnesale about Folds of Honor. It is a charity that provides scholarships for families of military members who have fallen in the line of duty. They hold a Patron's Day on Memorial Day annually as a fundraiser for the scholarship fund. I was hoping that we as a community could take that on and see what we can do to help out that charity. Pete, I was hoping that you could actually spend more time looking into that and maybe come up with a recommendation at the next workshop.
Mr. Carnesale: Yes. I have no problems getting started with that. I can work with the
VFW and MOA because I meet with MOA all the time.
Mr. Dale: They are a natural connection for this.
Mr. Carnesale: Since I'm both an enlisted and officer, I'm involved on both sides. I have lifetime memberships in both associations.
Mr. Dale: Thank you, Pete.
Mr. Carnesale: I would like to look into both. How involved I would get into it at the tail end when it actually occurs depends on two things.
Mr. Colasinski: Come up with a proposal.

Mr. Camesale: Number one is whether we are competing with anyone else because the IRCC might be.
Mr. Dale: No. They may be the only one.
Mr. Colasinski: We can have day events too.
Mr. Camesale: That's what I'm saying. I would want to validate  that.  Number  two,  I want to make sure that I'm going to be physically  here and my wife doesn't have me out of state  at that point in time. That doesn't stop me from doing the lead work.
Mr. Dale: Tell us what you need.
Mr. Colasinski: My second issue was the resident that was asking about signs  on  the trails. Look into getting some signs and come back to us with an estimate.
Ms. Webb: Yes. When I was talking to the zoo, I was asking where they get their signs. They create them in-house. I'm hoping that the zoo is going to be a little more supportive. Just  like we talked about the memorial for the dogs.
Mr. Dale: Yes, that would be part of our package. I'm glad you brought that up.
Mr. Colasinski: I'm still going through mine.
Mr. Dale: Go through yours. Ms. Webb: I will look for those. Mr. Colasinski: Thank you.
Ms. Webb: I saw them. They were smaller.
Mr. Dale: Please come up with a number you want added onto the memorial for the dogs. Ms. Webb: I don' t know how much they are.
Mr. Colasinski: The next item I had was that we have a lot of great materials here and a  lot of good information. I like the electronic format, but I would like some  time to review  the data and information before the meeting and not during the meeting. I could provide better feedback if I had time to analyze it. So, I would like to at least get Tim's report, even if it is a day or two short. I would like to get that information a couple of days before the meeting so I have time to review it and ask some questions at the meetings. I think I can do a better job as a Supervisor if I get some time to analyze it a couple of days before. Ifwe can get it electronically, that is fine. We do most of these things electronically. It is just a matter of sending it out. Lastly, at the last meeting, I talked about trying to get some goals and objectives together to Tim for his

annual review. I have an initial draft and I should have something to present to the Board at the workshop. That's it for me.
Mr. Dale: Thank you. I have four items that I am going to go through quickly. The fourth
one is I heard Tim at the beginning at the meeting. I will make every effort to get to that fire meeting and see what we can do to perhaps have some kind of reduction for Viera since we are shopping out a lot of our fire management money without any help from the county.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): At least get some consideration from them.
Mr. Dale: That is a good point. Kudos to Tim. We have on our patio at the Clubhouse new ceiling fans. Everything has been pressure washed. The ceiling fans have great lighting. It goes well along with our seating outside and adds to the ambiance. It looks really nice. Thank you. The next item is crime in the District. When I ran my campaign along with a couple of other individuals, we discussed different ways to get the Sheriffs Department involved with the District. While I was sitting at the park a few days ago, Deputy Bob was sitting in his SUV. I had
a nice long discussion with Deputy Bob and with about three or four deputies since then. All of them are more than willing to be here for us. One of the things that I asked them was what would help increase their service time in the District so they didn't have to run back to the substation to use the bathroom, fill out a form, etc. They said having a place here, would help immensely. So,  I had a discussion with these deputies. Depending on how the Board feels, I plan on contacting Commander Fischback who is the Commander for this area to provide an offer to the Sheriff's Department. The offer would consist of a couple of things. Number one, I would like to  give them the code to our bathroom at Woodside Park, so after the bathroom closes, they can go there at any time. That would encourage the officers to utilize that facility. For those who don't know, apparently, we have some undesirable traffic at that park from time to time and I hope this would help discourage that. The other offer that I would like to make to Commander Fischback, which I spoke to Terri at Divots about and is willing to do, is to let the officers utilize the restaurant after it is closed. We would have to work out the details of having either extra keys or install a keypad on the door at Divots. Keep in mind that every deputy will wind up having breakfast at Divots now so that helps the District. What Terri asked for in return for allowing officers to come in and use the desks at the restaurant, is for us to install some sort of lockable obstruction that  would seal off the liquor, back part of the restaurant and cash register. So, she has inventory  control over that part of the restaurant. I can't imagine that an accordion shutter going across would cost

more than $5,000 or something in that ballpark. The huge benefit to the District by spending that little bit of money, is we will have a constant presence by uniformed officers in the golf course area. It will mean a much shorter response rate on any calls we have within the District because the officers are going to be right there. There are a lot of benefits to having that. So, what  I would like from the Board is permission to have a discussion with Commander Fischback and make that offer to him and agreement to install some sort of shutter system and access, whether a keypad or extra keys. Access that doesn't cost Terri at Divots anything.
Mr. Colasinski: What cost are you estimating?
Mr. Dale: Off the top of my head, knowing what I know about security, we are probably talking about $6,000 to $7,000 to put in accordions.
Mr. Colasinski: We installed accordion hurricane shutters at our home. It was about the same size and cost $4,000. You can put an access keypad on the door and change the code quarterly to help with security.
Mr. Dale: The only reason why I hesitate on the key issue is in my discussion with Terri today, she said that it's strange the way that door locks.
Mr. Colasinski: I think an electronic version would be better in case this changes. Mr. Dale: It may be hard to do. I don't know.
Mr. Colasinski: Let's talk about the options. Get somebody out here to look at that.
Mr. Melloh: We can get Lacey's Key Service out there. They installed the ones at Woodside Park. They are our go to key people.
Mr. Showe: We can have fob that the officers can carry or provide them with an access
card.
Mr. Dale: I like the idea of having a code because I don't want to have to produce
Lacey's keys. That becomes a key control nightmare.
Mr. Colasinski: We don't want to hold the Sheriffs Office for getting our keys back to
us.
Mr. Dale: Bingo.
Mr. Carnesale: Which is the reason for the keypad. When you are dealing with a keypad
and the little cards, you can cancel the use of a particular card that is on your system.
Mr. Dale: Right.

Mr. Carnesale: Which is something you can't do with a regular key. Once you give them a key, if you wanted to change it, you would have to give new keys to everybody.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Colasinski: Maybe we can have a combination pad like at Woodside Park.
Mr. Carnesale: That would work as well because at least you can change the combo and notify the Sheriff's Office.
Mr. Colasinski: Send out an email.
Mr. Dale: Paul, what are your thoughts?
Mr. McCarthy: I would be interested to see what the person in charge with the Sheriff's Department has to say about it. I like the presence of an officer that I can see driving around the neighborhood. I'm a little concerned ifhe is spending his shift in the Clubhouse.
Mr. Dale: No. If they have a break or have to use the bathroom or fill out paperwork, they have to go back to the precinct and that takes them out of our area, whereas this keeps him there all the time. I will tell you that every deputy that I spoke with here over the past week to week­ and-a-halfwas very enthusiastic. They said, "That would be wonderful."
Mr. Colasinski: Are you trying to clarify whether someone would be there "x" amount of time versus just in and out?
Mr. McCarthy: I think if they are in and out that's a good thing.
Mr. Dale: Yes.
Mr. McCarthy: My issue is if they were in there for eight hours.
Mr. Dale: Right. We don't plan on them going in there and staying. I would have a big problem with that.
Mr. McCarthy: The presence of a police car is a deterrent.
Mr. Dale: Exactly. We did have a murder a few months ago at The Greens apartments. So, security is an issue that is up at the top of the list in terms of priorities. I think there are other things that we will be able to do. I'm trying not to gobble up too much at one meeting, but there are small things that we would be able to do.
Mr. Colasinski: So, I think the action is to go out and look and see what the key would cost or the form of access.
Mr. Showe: I think Tim can work with Terri to come up with a keyless entry system.

Mr. Melloh: We also need to have electronic keypads on the restrooms because the restrooms are inside.
Mr. Dale: That would give them the ability to access that.
Mr. Showe: I think the bigger key to this is your conversation with the Commander.
Mr. Dale: But I don't want to have that conversation unless we are serious.
Mr. Showe: It sounds like everybody agrees with you moving forward with it.
Mr. Dale: Right. Let's get some numbers and have that at the workshop for the accordion shutter and what it would cost for actual locks.
Mr. Colasinski: That's a good idea and it makes sense.
Mr. Melloh: Unfortunately, they are on the breezeway and they will have to have access to that. Maybe all they would want at certain times is access to the restrooms to go in and out. We can probably put the same ones on those two restrooms at Woodside Park. The storefront, what they call the glass doors, is where it gets to be more of a challenge.
Mr. Showe: There are outdoor tables there. I guess they could utilize them. It depends on
what they need.
Mr. Dale: We should give them something a little more. Mr. Colasinski: There are even magnetic locks.
Mr. Dale: Let's get some prices. I like the direction we are heading on that. I think that would be good for the District. The last issue is there are signs being installed for the dog parks. The Pieloch dog park sign is going to be installed. Then there are the rules and regulations sign and the "Thank You" placard that is going up for the dog park. My question to the Board is that we are not going to put up a Pieloch dog park sign, but do we want some kind of rules and regulations sign for the natural playground or a "Thank You" placard?
Mr. Showe: The answer to the first question is yes. Your insurance is going to require signage about safety.
Mr. Dale: For the playground.
Mr. Colasinski: In the dog park as well? Mr. Showe: Yes.
Mr. Dale: The dog park is already taken care of. It is already paid for. We are talking about the playground right now. We need to have rules and regulations. What about a thank you to Dave and John?

Mr. Colasinski: That's the bench, isn't it?
Mr. Dale: That's the bench.
Mr. Melloh: I think you appropriately want to put the names of the Board of Supervisors at the time that this was built. You see that in a lot of places.
Mr. McCarthy: One of the things that we want to be sure of, Rob, is every organization that donated money or equipment to that park is on there. We don't want to leave one person out.
Mr. Dale: Exactly.
Mr. McCarthy: I think a plaque would be appropriate.
Mr. Dale: Okay.
Mr. McCarthy: We have to make sure. If it had 30 people, that's okay. If there were 40 people, that's okay.
Mr. Dale: Okay. I don't think ifwe do that, we need to make them as big as what they did for the dog park. I believe that the dog park ones were 4x3. They are huge. I think we can make them a little smaller, but for the 4x3s, it costs $3,200 from American Recycled for those two signs. My recommendation is I can get that ball rolling, but I need an approval to spend some money on signs. I will go with the smaller version, but I recommend giving me authority up to whatever it is, the $3,000.
Mr. Camesale: But until we have the actual list of everybody that donated, you are not going to be able to physically make up that sign.
Mr. Dale: The problem is there is well over seven weeks lead time on that.
Mr. Camesale: Yes, even if you were to put the sign onto the fence two months after you open the park.
Mr. Dale: If we don't decide something tonight, it will be another four weeks before we
decide something. There will be no rules and regulations and no "Thank You" signs.
Mr. Camesale: Having a sign for rules and regulations is something that we have to do.
There are no two ways about it. We basically have to approve that.
Mr. Dale: Okay.
Mr. Camesale: My problem is just with the "Thank You" sign for those who donated or volunteered in the park. In order to make sure that we don't miss anybody,  if they  were to come in later with a donation or whatever and we had already made up the sign, we have a problem.

opens.

Mr. Colasinski: That is a good point. It would be nice to have that there when the park

Mr. Dale: It is not required.
Mr. Carnesale: We will have that.
Mr. Dale: What I recommend is the Board give me authority to spend up to $1,600. I'm

not going to spend that, but I don't know what the cost for the smaller sign is.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to authorize the Chairman to spend an amount not-to-exceed of $1,600 on rules and regulations signage for the park and Mr. Carnesale seconded the motion.

Mr. Showe: Is there any further discussion.
Mr. Dale: Actually, I would like to have some discussion now that I think about it as we are going to have three entrances.
Mr. Showe: For the dog park?
Mr. Dale: No, for the playground.
Mr. Showe: Realistically, they are going to want a sign at every entrance.
Mr. Dale: We are definitely going with the smaller ones.
Mr. Showe: People need to see them any way they can get in. Mr. Dale: Okay.
Mr. Showe: If you don't have a gate restricting them from coming in, that is typically  how you would do that.
Mr. Dale: I am going to go with the smaller signs, as small as we can go to still be
functional. The reason why we have three entrances is we are literally talking about 200 feet north, east and west of the cattle fence. This is a big park. So, we need signs at the entrance at the back, one where the 16-foot pad is and one where the bathroom is. Let's approve  $3,500 for signs. I will spend as little as I can.
Mr. Colasinski: If you are spending $1,600 for the first sign, you may want to go up to
$4,000.
Mr. Showe: I agree. You want to be safe because if the total cost is $3,501, you can't spend it.
Mr. Dale: I know.

Mr. Colasinski: Lets approve $4,500 for three rules and regulations signs.

Mr. Colasinski MOVED to authorize the Chairman to spend an amount not-to-exceed of $4,500 on three rules and regulations signage for the park and Mr. Carnesale seconded the motion .

Mr. Showe: Is there any further discussion? Hearing none,

On VOICE VOTE with all in favor authorizing the Chairman to spend an amount not-to-exceed of $4,500 on three rules and regulations signage for the park was approved.

Mr. Dale: Thank you, guys.
Mr. Carnesale: What you are going to want to do is check on the smallest  sign you  can put up locally.
Mr. Dale: I will coordinate that with you.
Mr. Camesale: I'm just saying. There may be rulings on how big the print is on the rules and regulations.
Mr. Showe: There is a reasonability.
Mr. Colasinski: There have to be some kind of guidelines out there for the dog park.
Mr. Showe: That will be fine.
Mr. Dale: Instead of dogs, we are going to have kids. That' s all I have.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comment Period - All Items
Mr. Showe: We have one from Mr. Shores about midges.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): Hello gentlemen. I just wanted to bring to your attention the magnitude of the midge problem in the District. I've lived here for close to three years and about five-eighths of the year, my house is covered with midges. I don't mean a few. I mean hundreds of thousands. All of the walls are covered, the roof, bushes, my car, etc. It would be absolutely impossible to sell that property if we have a midge bloom or whatever we call it. I really appreciate communications from Tim. Tim has been your point person. Now he brings up the subject that you are thinking about putting in aerators. It may or may not help. A while ago, I did a study of the midge problem with the Entomologist for Brevard County and we came up

with some suggestions. I gave this to Tim. I don't know if it went around to all of you, but I brought copies in case you wanted to see it again.
Mr. Dale: How long ago?
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): June 8th•
Mr. Dale: We weren't on the Board then.
Mr. Carnesale: Not everyone. Some people were on the Board.
Mr. Dale: There were a few.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I'm going to pass this out.
Mr. Carnesale: Okay.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I would like to encourage this Board to get those aerators going as soon as possible and if you need an electrical source for my lake, which is Lake 21, you can run it through my power and reimburse me.
Mr. Dale: Thank you. Awesome.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): Secondly, I was just wondering, if you are going to spend $5,000 or $10,000 on an aerator, what do you think about the proposition of letting the homeowners in that area meet with the Board and use some of these other suggestions for that
$5,000 or $10,000 instead of the aerator for that lake?
Mr. Dale: I like the suggestion, but I'm very open minded, because I understand about the midge problem and that contributing to the Tilapia deaths and the fish kills.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I don't think you can eradicate the midge problem. I think the best thing you can do is alleviate it. My point is that we have a very serious problem  here in the District with these creatures and anything you can do to help with that would be appreciated. Consider letting us plan our own attack on these midges. Some of the suggestions I proposed are expensive and some are cheap. If we had a budget, it would be an interesting experiment because we would be doing something different than aerators. That would give us a broader approach. Also, I think we can bring Mr. Joe Fiala from the county into this discussion. He is a good, knowledgeable person.
Mr. Dale: About four of the items that I see are all part of Pete's program that we were discussing during the would be introduction of the linear shelf. The 10-foot plant barrier would include aquatic plants. It basically serves as a filter.

Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I don't know if you guys understand  the lifecycle of a midge, but when they come up out of the lake, they breed down in the muck at the  bottom. That is the major problem. When they come up, they are looking for light. They are looking for a place to breed. My house is the color of these walls and there is light. So, the go to is where the light is because they breed there. The males and females breed. The males die, fall to the ground, the females fly back to the lake, go down to the muck and start all over again. If you have grass on the shoreline, look around. They will wind up in the grass instead of on my house.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): So that is one of the things on the list. You live on a lake also.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Colasinski: I think those are good suggestions, but it would entail getting the cooperation of the residents of the lake.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): Correct.
Mr. Colasinski: We can only influence, but we can't require the county to do something.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): First of all, on my lake, Lake 21, there are not many residents living on it. It is mainly golf course property, but it would have to be a silly homeowner to not help getting rid of midges because everyone has midges.
Mr. Colasinski: I've been out there. I'm just saying that  there are only  some things that we can do as far as a Board. Something that may have to be simpler, such as talking to people, having discussions. Maybe we hold the meeting over at Divots sometime. Residents on the lake say, "This is what we would like to do; what do you think?"
Mr. Colasinski: I think that's a super idea.
Mr. Dale: At the top of my head, three things come to mind. I would like for you to get with our Lifestyle Coordinator after the meeting. I noticed that number six is the introduction of fish like Bass. Somebody is working on being able to stock ponds with Bass.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): Bass eat midges.
Mr. Dale: That's what I am saying. There are grants out there. Mr. Colasinski: Not in the lake.
Ms. Webb: There is the National Bass Association.
Mr. Dale: Please exchange information. That's definitely on the table.

Mr. Colasinski: Alright.
Mr. Dale: The sludge settlement is something that we talked about three or four times. Where we were talking about building up the shore with geotubes, they funnel all of this muck into the geotubes. My question a couple of times was why can't we just get the soil sucker  and just shoot the stuff onto the shoreline without using the geotube? It's kind of like dredging.
Mr. Melloh: We will research that. The main reason is then you create  a  mudslide because there's nothing in there to hold it in place.
Mr. Colasinski: When it gets wet, it comes back in.
Mr. Dale: I understand.
Mr. Melloh: Yes, you can sod over it.
Mr. Dale: That is basically what they are doing with the geotubes.
Mr. Melloh: Those things are attached at the shore. So, if you have a three-inch rain, it all stays in place.
Mr. Colasinski: You only have to do it every 10 or 15 years. If you give me the names of the residents that live on the lake, I will try and get something over at Divots Grille. Maybe we can meet on Saturday morning for breakfast. In discussion with the residents, we can just walk through these things with them and see what they think.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): We have a group already of four homeowners here that are quite interested on Lakes 20 and 21. We are back-to-back lakes.
Mr. Colasinski: How many homes are on those lakes?
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): There are maybe five on my lake. Mr. Colasinski: Okay.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I am on the border where it becomes duplexes. I'm the first single-family home.
Mr. Colasinski: Okay.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): So, there are two owners.
Mr. Dale: This isn't just the golf course. This is a District-wide issue. Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): It's a county-wide issue.
Mr. Showe: It's a state-wide issue. We are getting calls for almost every  District.  Its midge season and they are out.

Mr. Dale: In talking with some of the experts, the biggest issue, the sludge sediment, which is very rich in Nitrogen is the number one cause of all of this. It is the debris  of everything; plants, grass clippings, all of that kind of stuff and it just builds up in these lakes over time. It's the number one culprit.
Mr. Colasinski: It sounds like you would like to see some removal. Is that what you are saying?
Mr. Dale: Some removal. If you are willing to lead this up and sit down with the group,
let's hear some ideas.
Mr. Colasinski: Removal requires equipment and access. It depends on the size. The  other thing is if you remove it, where do you put it?
Mr. Dale: That's the big issue.
Mr. Showe: Essentially, you have to get a special permit. There is a special place it has to
go.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Showe: The vendor has to be able to assist. The equipment that they use for that is
very destructive to everything it rolls over. Removal is probably the most intense.
Mr. Dale: I thought it was basically the same as what we were using for the bulkheads. It
is basically a giant vacuum.
Mr. Colasinski: Getting that equipment out there is an issue.
Mr. Melloh: I've gotten prices for all of the things that David has on his list, the things that you can price out. There are 14 items on this because there is no silver bullet.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Mr. Melloh: You all agree with that.
Mr. Dale: 100%. It is a combination of things.
Mr. Melloh: On November 17th, I met with the head of the Mosquito Control Department for Brevard County. He feels that aerators don't do anything. I asked him, "What is the number one thing you can do?" He said, "You need to get the homeowners to turn their lights out at night during midge season." Like on the beach. We tell people to turn off their lights so they don't attract the turtles. It's the same thing.
Mr. Dale: I understand.

Mr. Melloh: That is what he said was the number one thing you can do. I have articles from the University of Florida that talks about different things you can try, but there is no silver bullet.
Mr. Colasinski: My approach would be to try to talk to those people in the community. Let's do the things that we can do as homeowners first, see how much of an improvement that makes and then we can pursue the other things that are going to be costlier.
Mr. Dale: I would like to add to this list. I don't know if it will work, but it is something you can do. What I base it on is when I first moved into my home in Osprey, I'm right on the preserve and carpenter ants are a huge issue. One night I had a swarm on my back patio. I had a bug zapper, the open one. I stuck it out in the yard and connected the extension to it. It went off  all night. There was a pile of ants at the end of the day.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): The bug zappers work, but the problem is  that midges come in waves. So, you will get one group and the next day you will have another group. There is not a bug zapper big enough to handle the midges. There are a lot of little things you can do. I would just like to see something that will knock them back a bit. I  don't think it would get rid of them. It would be great if we did.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): In the winter, we didn't have any midges and it was wonderful. We could actually go outside.
Mr. Dale: I think Bass is a good potential solution.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I don't think it's that expensive either.
Mr. Dale: No. I think it's something that the District can get for free through a grant. So that's a very doable issue.
Mr. Colasinski: I like the idea of getting people together and talking about it. That's

good.

now.

Mr. Dale: I appreciate Steve heading this up. Mr. Colasinski: Yes. Send me an email.
Mr. Showe: If you give me your email address, I will email you and copy Steve right

Mr. Colasinski: I think we can make a game plan.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): It would be nice to get it going in the right direction

March 25, 2021	Viera East COD

Mr. Colasinski: Absolutely.
Mr. Dale: I know we spent a little more time on this one particular issue, but this is a high priority issue for this Board.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): There are two phases. One is limiting people's enjoyment of their homes and the second is their property value. So, it's a high priority item.
Mr. Dale: That translates to other things, which include fish kills.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): I want to thank the Board for their help, particularly Tim. Thank you, Tim.
Mr. Melloh: You're welcome. Like I said, I really wish there was a silver bullet for this.
Mr. Showe: It's a challenge in every District we manage. I don't want to give you false hope based on experience. I'm not saying it won't be better than that.
Mr. Melloh: I think aerators are for another reason, more for the fish kill. Once we get the estimate back from EC0R, we will discuss it.
Mr. Dale: Maybe that will affect the conditions of the fish, which will eat the midges.
Mr. Camesale: Plus, the fact that you are dealing with the shoreline. That is going to reduce the amount of nutrients going into the lake, which should reduce the reproduction. So, all of these are little pieces lend themselves.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): It all adds up. Mr. Colasinski: Thank you for coming out.
Resident (David Shores, Aberdeen): Thank you for considering this. Mr. Dale: Jason, was that our only speaker?
Mr. Showe: That was the last comment form I received. We should open it up for any other comments.
Resident (Greg Kurr, Canterbury): I have a quick question. Tim made a comment about a contractual term that was standard. I got the impression that you had an overrun on a job and you would be able to fill it all back.
Mr. Showe: I'm not sure I understand your question.
Resident (Greg Kurr, Canterbury): When we had open commentary, you made a comment about a contractual provision to provide a contractor.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The contractor can always come and ask for equitable adjustments on anything from wage increases. In between there they had a wage

increase. They can come back after and do that. So, when you are talking about a three-year bid that someone put out and we accepted, anywhere in there they can still do it. So, it doesn't matter whether we pull the trigger today or we stop and move forward to try and do this the right way.
Mr. Showe: He is correct. There are provisions for a Change Order. In that case, the District has a supervising engineer. That contractor would go to the engineer  and say, "Listen, we need a Change Order and this is why. Either it is outside the scope of the contracts and the condition of the site work exactly as they intended." If there a reasonable reason for it, then that Change Order would come to the Board, but the Board would have to approve any changes to that contract.
Resident (Greg Kurr, Canterbury): Who makes the determination as to whether that is reasonable or not?
Mr. Showe: The District Engineer who is contracted. Then they would have to come to the Board. It would have to go through those checks and the Board would have to approve it.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The key word you are trying to pull out of that is called a request. The contractor is requesting an equitable adjustment, but typically a contractor, because they know it is very painful to do this, have gone through every legality of it. It  is a never failing process. It sucks. I hate it, but it is just part of doing contractual business with a government.
Resident (Greg Kurr, Canterbury): The point is it is a request and  the Board can reject it if in their mind it is unreasonable.
Mr. Dale: We can continue the debate.
Mr. Showe: There are lots of shades to it, but it's a possibility. Absolutely.
Mr. Dale: I'm fine continuing the debate, but I don't want people yawning  to have to  stick around to the end of the debate.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): Did we buy the new truck? Mr. Showe: Yes.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): I didn't see it. I didn't hear that. I remember that was a discussion.
Mr. Showe: It was part of the requisition. We bought it immediately and then reimbursed
it.

Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): Okay. I'm glad that you ordered your memorial bench. You said that you were going to put it out in the park. I am concerned about the youth of our community with the spray cans and everything else. So, if this is going to be a show for the people, then could we lock it up at night? What is the security going to be for that bench?
Mr. Dale: The security that I'm most concerned with is it walking off. Actually, the materials it is made out of, I believe, I don't want to say its graffiti proof,  but the  recycled  plastic, is easier to get.
Mr. Showe: It's much better, Rob, but is it needed? Does it have to be at the park or could we put it maybe up at the golf course Clubhouse where there is at least a light and there are eyes on it.
Mr. Dale: We could put it there easily.
Mr. Showe: That way, it is not out in the middle of a dark park. Mr. Dale: That's a good point.
Mr. Melloh: Do you mean while it is there until we install it?
Mr. Carnesale: Until we install it.
Mr. Showe: That way, it is at least in a place that is lit.
Mr. Dale: That is a good point. I just want it available for people to be able to view it. Mr. Showe: That's all I'm saying.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): That is the other issue. If you put it at the golf course, unless we get Michelle to put the picture of that on the bulletin board down at the park, then only the people that go to the golf course are going to see that. We want  to promote the  park.
Mr. Dale: Right.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): The bench is beautiful, but  my concern  is with the security of the bench. Not only someone walking off with it, but also the vandalism.
Mr. Showe: From experience, the vandalism is going to happen. I think  as soon as the  pad is poured, they are going to put it out there and anchor it down.
Mr. Colasinski: We are also trying to get the Sheriff's Office to spend more time at the
park.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): I agree, but my biggest concern in the very
beginning because it is a beautiful bench, I don't want to see it stolen.

Mr. Dale: I think what it is going to boil down to Mary Ann, is it is a risk. I agree with you, but I only have so many options.
Mr. Showe: Based on experience, the material is conducive to being cleaned.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): There is graffiti removal paint. Take it from one who taught school and had kids who didn't do what they were supposed to. Is GolfNow going to give you a record of what the sales were?
Ms. Webb: Yes.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): So, we are we going to get that. When is the Women's Day event?
Ms. Webb: June 1st. I have some flyers. I will try to post it on the website.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): I'm glad that we are going to do something. Young people particularly in scouting have projects. If we can get in touch with a scout master and find out of there is a candidate for an Eagle Scout to mark off all of the trails, they would get credit for doing that kind of thing and then it's written up in the scout magazine, etc.
Mr. Showe: We had those in the past. They contacted Tim.
Mr. Melloh: We had an Eagle Scout project a year-and-a-half ago.
Ms. Webb: I'm in touch with a scout that wanted  to come out and help with the park. So, I can reach out to her.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): They would also get a lot of credit and be eligible for scholarships. Earlier, we were talking about rocks, but did we ever consider engraved pavers?
Mr. Dale: Like for the Memorial Program? Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): Yes.
Mr. Dale: It could be on there. I have no problem with that.
Ms. Webb: We were also talking about the zoo. They have an area at their park where they have a memorial pack. They give out silver dog tags to people who donation. She was supposed to get back with me on that. We were thinking about doing that on one part of the fence in the dog park where people who lost their pets could buy a dog tag.
Mr. Dale: The biggest issue with pavers is where do we put them? Ms. Webb: Right.

Mr. Dale: As well as fitting it in with the entire scheme. I'm not opposed if somebody has an idea.
Ms. Webb: The problem with pavers is vandalism. We have done paver memorials before and people come in and just spray them.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): Once we get the bulletin board, we should post it there as well as on the Facebook and the Viera East CDD website. In Fawn Ridge, we have a communication problem. Michelle offered to help me put out a blurb or e-blast telling residents, "Do you know what exciting things are happening right outside of our entrance?" We only have a few email addresses, but maybe we can put a sign out in the front when people are going out saying, "Check with Facebook, check with VECA, etc." So, I'm really concerned that not only my development, but other people have no idea of what is going on. What are all of those dirt mounts for?
Mr. Dale: We did place signs with the addresses.
Ms. Webb: They are at the park. One is right in front when you first walk in, but I didn't put the CDD.com address. That is what I'm going to get with Jason about. I just started looking  at the CDD.com site to see what we can do to change some things. I had several elderly people tell me that they don't use Facebook so they go onto the CDD website to keep up with the development.
Resident (Mary Ann Ferraro, Fawn Ridge): From last month to this month, a lot more is happening and we are moving faster than most people anticipated. I suggest that somehow or other, you limit the amount of discussion so you can get yourself out of here earlier. So, we are progressing. Thank you, Pete for your help and Steve with getting me on Survey Monkey. A lot of people in my development, short of me going around and knocking on doors, don't know what you do. Thank you.
Mr. Dale: Thanks Mary Ann. We appreciate it.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The contact directory on the CDD website is outdated on Contact Us and on other documents. Please update it. The CDC brochure needs to be updated, but I wouldn't do it yet because the website needs to be updated. It has all of the prior Board Members on it. The contact now even has the wrong Clerk of Court on  there.  I'm surprised that Steve didn't bring this up because it was popular on social media. Regarding the bollards, please get with our counsel and find out if the Viera East CDD Board has the authority

to put bollards up. I spoke to VECA residents last week and a member asked me, "Are you guys going to be consistent with the bollards? Are all of the walk paths going to have them? Because the sidewalk that I traversed and Steve and I walked down does not have bollards, but it is your property so why aren't there bollards?" So, you guys need to find out if you have the authority to put up bollards throughout the entire CDD or not. I would ask counsel to figure that out for you and segway into the sidewalk. Did you guys mark the area where the concrete is broken? Is that on the Action Item List?
Mr. Melloh: It is. A contractor is going to give us a price. We are going to actually place two whole sections.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Okay. You can totally see a liability coming on. Mr. Melloh: I understand.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The Auburn Lakes Board just had their annual meeting. Not one person knew what was going on with the dog park. We are talking about 30 people in a 250-resident subdivision. You have three websites.
Mr. Dale: I don't know what to do other than to drag them kicking and screaming. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Jason's side doesn't have the other two sites. Mr. Showe: We have the Facebook page.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): They all need to coordinate so information can get out.
Ms. Webb: We are getting there.
Mr. Dale: You have Instagram, Facebook, Nextdoor and everybody has different passwords.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Steve handled it well for the Board. Here's the strange part. Outside residents were posting.
Mr. Dale: We discussed that. Stuff doesn't need to go outside of our community. Ms. Webb: I messed up on that one.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I thought you did perfectly. Where are we on the insurance for the roof replacement?
Mr. Showe: They are coming out tomorrow to meet with Tim to inspect it.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I hope it works out. I brought the same thing up with VECA. The last thing I have is you guys are rocking it. You guys are doing everything the

residents voted you in for. Everyone is working well. Don't forget, we are supposed to be finding efficiencies at the golf course to make it self-sufficient. Keep concentrating. I know Michelle is doing her part, but it's not self-sufficient and we need to get there. I know the dog park is a big project, but we still need to be focused.
Mr. Dale: Several of the things that were in today's meeting are directly tied to that. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Right.
Mr. Dale: That included the insurance. That is a $22,000 savings. Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I get it.
Mr. Dale: It also included GoltNow and all of those other things.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I know the little pieces add up over time. Mr. Dale: To about $50,000.
Mr. Colasinski: You are absolutely right, because we have to continue to pursue curbing increases and watching our expenses so we can build up that fund for capital improvements  in the future. Eventually we will run out of money, so we need to step in. It takes a long time to do that.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): Once all of those things are done, the golf course should be self-sufficient based on what it is earning, not what we have been subsidizing for years and years.
Ms. Webb: What's going to happen is this calendar that Tim and Divots put together, I'm hoping it will be a general calendar for the District as well. It will have  the dog park openings and events and things like that. It will be posted on all three sites: the golf course and CDD websites. This calendar will be a working machine.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The square pegs are getting rounded out. You guys are at warp speed, which is awesome.
Mr. Dale: I want to address the first issue. You are talking about that person in our community who said, "Oh, you don't have the authority to do all of this stuff." I already know how I would answer him. I wasn't going to inject myself into that online  stuff.  All you have to do is go to VieraEastCDD.com and you look at the purview and scope of the powers of a special purpose government, which is what we are. That's all I would've done. I just pointed them there and let him do his homework. I already know that we have the authority to do those things. I'm not going to argue with somebody online.

Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): You supplied a map that had the west side, but not the east side.
Mr. Colasinski: So, the whole issue there is it had the verbiage and the definition of what
is necessary in order to allow passage on a golf cart. That's the only reason it was provided.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): My point is if someone in the CDD came and said, "What is the legal authority of the Board to put these bollards up?" which I completely  agree with.
Mr. Dale: If they were nice and a resident and they asked politely, I would have been more than happy to explain it to them.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): If we want to cover ourselves from any resident input, that could actually have some traction. That's all I'm saying.
Mr. Dale: He was wrong on many fronts.
Mr. Colasinski: The trail you are talking about goes between Osprey and Clubhouse Drive. I don't know that the one in Heron's Landing meets that criteria for not allowing golf cart traffic on there.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): To their point, it is a walking trail.
Mr. Colasinski: I understand.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): You guys own it. Is it selective that we put the bollards up?
Mr. Colasinski: It has to do with whether or not it meets the criteria for allowing golf cart
paths.
Mr. Dale: We are allowed to do that. We have the authority to do it.
Mr. Showe: I think there are places where they can put that in multiple locations. I think
that was a spot where we can really block it. There are other places where if we put them up, they would just go around it. That is a spot where we can actually restrict it. Those are pedestrian non-motorized vehicles. The only thing that our engineer would say is that you have to allow ADA access.
Mr. Dale: One person was like, "You don't have the authority to enforce it." Actually, we do have the authority and if we wanted to as a District, we could post a Deputy Sheriff out there 24/7 to enforce it.

March 25, 2021	Viera East CDD

Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): The only thing on the CDD website is that the CDD District Engineer is supposed to be at all Board Meetings. It is on your website.
Mr. Colasinski: I know that it's on there, but do we want to pay the cost. We are looking for ways to save money
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I would put it under, "As needed"  or  "As required by the Board." The engineer could've answered his question.
Mr. Dale: Right. The short answer is we have the authority.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): I know you do, but he was methodical.
Mr. Dale: He wasn't methodical. He was clueless about what a Special Purpose Government and a CDD does. He was talking about a Development of Regional Impact (DRI). We are in the DRI. You don't even know what a DRI is. That is basically what Viera is.
Resident (Tim Bianchi, Auburn Lakes): You have so many communication lines; CDD Facebook, CDD.com and Nextdoor.
Mr. Colasinski: If 30 people can't find it, I bet you another 50 can't find it. So, what  do you do?
Mr. Dale: Right. I'm going to entrain a motion to adjourn.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

On MOTION by Mr. Camesale seconded by Mr. Colasinski with  all in favor the meeting was adjourned.
