The following is a summary of the discussions and actions taken at the May 18, 2020 meeting, and a copy of the proceedings can be obtained by contacting the District Manager.

FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS	Roll Call and Pledge of Allegiance
Ms. Burns called the meeting to order at 10:35 a.m., called the roll and the pledge of allegiance was recited. All five Supervisors were present.
Ms. Burns: I’m going to go ahead and read an opening statement for those who weren’t at the last meeting just for the record. Pursuant to the Governor’s executive orders, Districts may currently conduct Board of Supervisors meetings without having a quorum of its members present physically or at any specific public location if utilizing a form of communication such as telephonic and media technology. This meeting is being

held to address those items necessary for the proper operation of the District. Today’s meeting is being conducted remotely via Zoom, which allows for all parties to participate by video or telephonic conference. Access and information for today’s meeting was provided in the District’s meeting notice, on the District’s website, and by contacting the District Manager in advance of the meeting. It was also distributed via an email blast to all residents that receive emails from the Community Director. In order to facilitate the public participation meeting today, participants were strongly encouraged to submit questions and comments to the District Manager in advance of the meeting by email, phone, or mail. I did not receive any comments prior to 2:00 p.m. yesterday. All comments received to me as of 10:00 a.m. this morning will be read into the record during the Audience Comments and will become part of the permanent record of this meeting. Additionally, I will check my email, which is jburns@gmscfl.com at the end of the meeting and read any additional comments received during the meeting at that time. As with all meetings there will be two opportunities for public comment. First, at the beginning of the meeting for comments on any agenda items and second, at the end of the meeting for any other items. As host of the meeting I will announce when the audience comments are permitted. Comments received in advance of the meeting will be read first. After that, we will open up to anyone wanting to provide live comment using Zoom’s raise hand feature. If you are using the computer, depending on what type of computer or tablet you are using, it’s usually in the upper right hand corner. If you are calling in from a phone line you can hit * nine and that will notify us that you would like to give a live comment and we will call on people one at a time. With that, just a reminder that any public comments are limited to three minutes including those received in advance. Also a reminder to everybody if you are able to silence any devices you have and place your microphone on mute if you are not speaking that would be helpful as well.

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Meeting Agenda
Ms. Burns: That brings us to approval of the Meeting Agenda.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Mr. Ference with all in favor the meeting agenda was approved.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comments on Specific Items
on the Agenda (the District Manager will read any questions or comments received from members of the public in advance of the meeting)
Ms. Burns: I did receive one comment just prior to the meeting starting that I will read now. The comment is from Steve Realmuto regarding item 7A and 8B-1.
There are several items in the proposed fiscal year 2021 budget attached for the agenda to this meeting, I would like to bring to the Supervisors and residents’ attention. Total revenues are down $160,013 due to $36,619 less in assessments and a carryover that is $122,555 less. Reductions in rental income, ad revenue, and restaurant lease income due to COVID19 are likely to further reduce revenue below what is projected in the proposed budget. Total expenditures are up
$102,444 and this doesn’t appear to include a second payment for the purchase of the golf course due in fiscal year 2021. In short, revenues are down and expenditures are up perhaps more than the draft budget indicates. I would like for the Supervisors to make adjustments to adopt a more realistic budget and avoid a major increase in assessments like the roughly 10% increase we saw this year. Also, can you confirm that the $36,619 loss of assessment revenue is due to the fact that we are no longer collecting assessments on the golf course parcels we purchased. On another topic, I believe I speak for many of residents are requesting that you extend the hours the pool is open to 6:00 p.m. or later. Increase the number of residents that are permitted in the pool from 20 to 40 and count the number on the pool deck separately. If you check the sign-in sheet maintained by the pool attendant, you will see that it reaches capacity at between 3:00 and 4:00
p.m. It is possible to increase the number of residents using the pool above 20 safely because residents have been diligently maintaining social distancing and even with 20 people in the pool, it’s half empty. Counting sun-bathers on the deck separately makes more sense now that residents may bring chairs.

Ms. Burns: That’s all that I had from Steve, so we will now open up to anyone

wishing to provide live comment. If you wish to provide a live comment you can use Zoom’s raise hand feature which is on your screen and anyone else who is on the phone line can hit * nine. I will just give everybody a couple of seconds to go ahead who wishes to do that. I see no raised hands, so we can move on to the rest of the agenda.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of the Minutes of the April
20, 2020 Meeting
Ms. Burns: You have approval of the minutes of the April 20, 2020 Meeting. Any questions, comments, corrections to the minutes? Hearing none, I would ask for a motion to approve the minutes.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Mr. Costello with all in favor the Minutes of the April 20, 2020 Meeting were approved as presented.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Engineer’s Report
Ms. Burns: Next is our Engineer’s Report from Alan.
Mr. Rayl: Good Morning. Just a few items as Jan requested, I will go through them quickly. Mulligan and Dunmore drainage improvements, the contractor is expected to be mobilized and on-site in two weeks. That will be Monday, June 1st. Christine I will get with you, also we need to let CDD 2 know that a portion of Mulligan is going to be closed off for a part of the time during that work but not the entire time. As far as maintenance and traffic go that will be the best and most efficient way to get that work done. I will coordinate with you on time and logistics on that. You may have already seen we’ve staked it out for the silt fence installation. The contractor will be calling in the utility locates soon, so you will see some other paint markings and flags of all colors out there in the next two weeks. We also generated a list of quantities and bid items. There are 14 bid items from the SWFWMD inspection report that we prepared March 30th. Half or more are just clearing vegetation away from the structures. We are going to get at least 3 bids on that work to make a few repairs but mostly clearing away the structures from overgrown vegetation to get us in compliance with our SWFWMD permit. We can turn in our certification then. Beyond that all the other permit transfers have been submitted. All the water use permits have been transferred. There is one outstanding ERP transfer. SWFWMD staff is working

remotely and they’re in contact with us but saying that they are processing things more slowly now. I’ll let the Board know when that last transfer comes out of the name of the golf course. Lastly, I followed up with SWFWMD on the report that we turned into them asking for action on Lake Ashton outfall of the lake that is elevated right now. I have not heard any response or any plan for action out of them yet, but we are going to continue to follow up on that. Those are the main items I had from our report, and I will be happy to answer any questions if you have any.
Mr. Plummer: I have two questions. First one is what is the anticipated completion of the Mulligan project?
Mr. Rayl: I did not get a full schedule from the contractor, but I can and I can get that to you, Bob.
Mr. Plummer: Just curious about a completion date. Also, what was the final bid?
Mr. Rayl: We are still held to that not to exceed $100,000 amount and I’m working with him to continue to lower that. We came up with a few ideas as we walked the site the other day about not hauling off a lot of the material that we were going to originally, but instead placing it in other areas in that area along the pond bank where some areas are a little lower than others. So, we are continuing to optimize his quote for that, but it will not exceed that $100,000 authorization.
Mr. Plummer: Thank you.
Ms. Burns: If there are no other questions for Alan, we can move on to new business.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Unfinished Business
There being none, the next item followed.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	New Business
Consideration of Resolution #2020-05 Approving the Proposed Fiscal Year 2021 Budget and Setting the Public Hearing and Discussion of Proposed Capital Projects List
Ms. Burns: The resolution is in your package and the proposed budget is attached. Just to go over our budget process for any residents that may not be familiar, and I know we have a Board member who hasn’t been on the Board for our budget process before, this is our preliminary budget . We are required by statute to adopt a preliminary budget

by June 15th of each year. We then have to send our budget to the city and county at least 60 days prior to the public hearing that we select. We will set a public hearing to adopt our budget, generally we do the August meeting which will be August 17th at 10:30 a.m. This budget will likely change between now and then. What we are looking for today would be if we need to have an increase or not. If there is not increase, we can set the budget and work within that threshold. If we are going to increase then we would need to set the cap on that in order to provide a mailed notice to all landowners within the District. That’s really the main point of our discussion today, is if we feel we need to increase assessments and if so we need to determine the amount that would have to go on the mailed notice. A couple of things to point out in the budget and then we will turn it over for questions and comments from the Board. As Steve mentioned, there has been a lowering of the revenues. It’s extremely likely we will have lower rental income from fewer room reservations and large groups renting out the ballroom in the next year. So, we will look and see how things go over the summer, where we think we might be headed and adjust that accordingly. Depending on the Board’s directions, we may have to remove the line item of revenue for the restaurant lease. A couple of other items that you will see under Administrative, that contingency for the golf course. We are going to update that to the cart path and bridge repairs for the annual maintenance so we will go ahead and remove that line item. I’m waiting on some numbers from Billy Casper now that they are on the ground to see what they think. We might be looking at annually for cart path and bridge repairs for both Districts so we will have some better numbers on that. That contingency line item will change the repairs. I would anticipate it will be significantly less than the $15,000 we had listed in there. The landscape maintenance and lake maintenance were adjusted to the new contract amounts that the Board previously approved. A couple line items have changed. You can see the reserve study is listed there as well. Christine put together a capital projects list. Christine you want to go over those items before we turn it over to the Board for questions?
Ms. Wells: The budget packet that I gave for all Board members includes a list of the projects recommended by staff. The majority of them are just contingencies that are in here from year to year. The first one is the Ballroom Carpet replacement as you can see they anticipate replacing that in 2020. We are still waiting on a quote from the installer

that will be doing the work and that’s why there is a TBD there. As soon as I get that quote, we can anticipate that if the Board decides to move forward with it. Also, foyer furniture replacement, which is a carryover from 2020. The handicap ramp from restaurant patio to pool deck which is also carry over from 2020. When I say carry over, we had a list of projects that was presented to the Board in fiscal year 2020, but the Board decided to just slip a set amount into the reserve and not approve a list of capital projects. So, these are projects that I recommended back in 2020 as well so when I say carryover, that’s what I mean by that. We have replacement in tiles in the Fitness Center restrooms and ice machine area with non-skid tile. You also have listed to convert the Tennis Court and Shuffleboard Court lights to LED, and those will be our last lights to be converted to LED to be as energy efficient as possible. We have our contingencies which is stormwater management. Alan gave me an amount of $25,000 to put in for that. We have a pavement management contingency which is still to be determined. Restaurant equipment and furnishings contingency is the same as it was last year which was $15,000. You have the HVAC contingency to take into consideration replacement of any AC units as needed. I also put on here the Golf Course land payment of $115,000 just so we could take that into consideration.
Mr. Krumrie: I didn’t find that in there, but it’s on your list? Ms. Wells: Yes.
Mr. Krumrie: It’s not in the capital budget though?
Ms. Wells: No, it is not because the Board has to approve of the list or do what they did last year and approve an amount to go in and approve projects as we go along. So, it is not going to be put into the budget until you guys give us the go ahead to move forward with this, or like you did last year just give us an amount and we approve projects as they come along.
Mr. Krumrie: I do see some of the items in the budget already though. For example the restaurant.
Ms. Wells: Yes.
Mr. Krumrie: That’s already in the budget? Ms. Wells: Yes.

Mr. Krumrie: Some items that are on the list are not in the budget, is that what you are saying?
Ms. Well: Yes. Sir.
Mr. Krumrie: What is that total?
Ms. Wells: I haven’t totaled it just because I’m waiting for numbers for Ballroom carpet replacement, and the pavement management.
Mr. Krumrie: Okay.
Mr. Costello: It’s less than $300,000. Ms. Wells: Way less.
Mr. Krumrie: If you remove the Golf Course land payment. Mr. Costello: No, with the Golf Course payment
Ms. Burns: With the Golf Course it is less.
Ms. Wells: And the $15,000 restaurant equipment furnishings contingency, I believe has been in the budget every year. That was the only one they wanted actually listed in the capital project list for fiscal year 2020.
Mr. Krumrie: I know those coolers are not in very good shape.
Ms. Wells: We actually replaced a lot of the things for the restaurant to open two years ago.
Mr. Krumrie: Right, the meat slicer.
Ms. Wells: Yes, and those numbers can be changed. If you want us to put in a larger amount in for restaurant and equipment furnishings we can do definitely do that.
Mr. Krumrie: In the proposed budget for 2021 if you take out the carry forward which I assume to be left over revenue from 2020. The budget calls for $1,950,000 of revenue and we are going to spend around $1,739,000 in expenses, we have $210,000 left over for capital.
Ms. Burns: This shows a capital reserve transfer of $252,834.
Mr. Krumrie: That assumes that carry forward from 2020 of $42,000. This budget only generates $210,000 to capital expenditures. I think that is a problem because per your other sheet, the sheet that’s got some green coloring on it, you recommend
$338,000.

Ms. Burns: If you look at the bottom of page 9 there’s a capital project funds sheet after the descriptions. It shows the reserve balance at the end of fiscal year 2020 is projected to be $781,181 plus the transfer from next year.
Mr. Krumrie: I agree with that. Then going into the next year you have $289,000 we included $42,000 on so on. So, you have $1,025,00 in there. But since 2018, you’ve recommended putting in $328,000 each year into the budget for capital.
Ms. Burns: Last year it was $519,000. The capital reserve transfer for the current year, fiscal year 2020, was $519,000.
Mr. Krumrie: We haven’t done that yet, correct?
Ms. Burn: No, it’s usually done in the summer once we are fully collected from assessments. It should happen in the next month or two.
Mr. Krumrie: Is that what the resolution does? Ms. Burns: No. The accountant just transfers it. Mr. Krumrie: Just on your end?
Ms. Burns: Yes.
Mr. Krumrie: My concern is that green sheet that you also handed out with the budget, the sheet that has green coloring on it, it talks about replacement of the equipment, buildings, and furnishings and so forth. They recommend $328,000 per year to be added to the capital budget, plus whatever we spend outside of that.
Mr. Rayl: A lot of that work on the reserve study has already been done.
Mr. Krumrie: So at this point, at the end of 2021, they’re saying that we should have $1,025,000 in there. I guess the questions is that going to be adequate?
Ms. Burns: If you look at the line below that where is says reserve study, the suggested amount in the reserve study for balance at the end of fiscal year 2021, is
$902,000. So you will actually have over what the reserve study recommends based on. Mr. Krumrie: Ok, but under 2021, you have down there under $20,000 for capital expenditures. On here we have another golf course payment of $130,000 or something.
Ms. Burns: $115,000.
Mr. Krumrie: $115,000 plus whatever else is included in the capital expenditures for that year.
Ms. Burns: Right.

Mr. Krumrie: I think we need more than that.
Mr. Deane: Harry, I understand what you are talking about, but I think we have to look at our income. First of all, we are minus 21 lots of assessment. Which amount to
$39,175 less for next year. I think we have to try and keep our income at the same rate as it is at the present time.
Mr. Krumrie: Alright. Whatever we decide to do is okay. If we are thinking about spending $130,000 on the golf course and $45,000 for sure on other things.
Mr. Costello: We are already committed to pay $115,000. That’s the balance of what we owe on the purchase of the land
Mr. Krumrie: And that will come under capital expenditures?
Mr. Burns: That’s where I have it right now unless the Board wants to direct us to do something different.
Mr. Costello: Well that’s what it is.
Mr. Krumrie: Correct. So, basically they include just that item. The reserve would be equal to $1,025,000.000. So, you would probably be right on target.
Mr. Costello: What you’re saying is, we are not going to have any cushion whatsoever.
Mr. Krumrie: With what is recommended in this other sheet, yes. What’s recommended is that we have $902,000 plus the golf course payment.
Mr. Costello: One of the things was, last year we did raise the assessment. It had not been raised in 8 years. How many people go 8 years without some sort of a raise in income or something of that nature. In order to balance the sheet out, I fully understand what you are saying. What you are saying is if everything goes the way it’s planned, we are going to come out just about even to the penny. That is kind of dangerous.
Mr. Krumrie: What they are suggesting is we are predicted to have $1,025,000 in our reserves, and what they are saying is we should have at least $902,000 plus whatever we spend next year on capital expenditures.
Mr. Deane: The capital expenditures though are, as someone talked about earlier, some of those items have been already completed. So I’m not sure that the reserve fund study that we’ve done is up to date. It’s probably not up to date and it obviously could be less or more. I would lean toward the less, only because when I looked through it, I see

several of the items have already been accomplished. Until we have an update of the reserve study, I’m not sure how we can know exactly what your figure is there Harry.
Mr. Krumrie: If you can’t depend on your reserve study, then that changes the whole subject.
Mr. Deane: The reserve study needs to be updated and that’s a good point. I think we are at that now.
Mr. Costello: Well what we really need to do is sit down and have a budget hearing and workshop the budget.
Ms. Burns: And we can do that when we get closer, and hopefully we will be able to meet in person.
Mr. Costello: And the biggest thing is like Bob said, we need updated figures. What Harry is saying is that you don’t want to bring it right down to the penny. We need updated figures in order to come up with a realistic budget.
Mr. Krumrie: Again, I have a lot of questions on line items specific. I don’t want to go through that right now obviously. A workshop would be very helpful for us to talk about those things.
Mr. Costello: I think we should schedule a workshop.
Ms. Carpenter: The biggest thing to think about for the purpose of submitting this budget, which we have to get to the local authorities by June 1st, is if we have any increase to the amounts. If we think there’s going to be an increase we need to get the written letters and notices. I think that is the key. Jill, do we have one more meeting before we actually have to figure out whether we are going to raise assessments or keep them level? It’s just a matter of timing because we need a good 30 or 35 days before that point.
Mr. Costello : With all that’s gone on with Covid-19 and everything being shut down and everything else, are they going to hold our feet to the fire with a June 1st proposal?
Ms. Carpenter: The proposed budget yes, we have to submit that. That is the law. The key for us it the timing of the increase and getting the written notices out. We need about 35 days or so before we have set our hearing. Jill, are we setting the budget hearing for July?
Ms. Burns: August.

Ms. Carpenter: Okay, so we would have time in the June meeting to be able to increase, but we can still submit this as is. By the June meeting we would need to have figured out where we are and if we have to increase assessments. We are going to have some higher bills on attorneys’ fees. I think by June you would be able, or hopefully be able to decide then on the increase. I think you could probably submit the budget, if there are no glaring errors now to the city.
Mr. Deane: No, there are not. The way I understand it, they could still be changed, even if you submit.
Ms. Carpenter: Correct. We just need to submit an initial budget, which unless there are glaring errors, we could probably submit that now, approve/set the hearing for August, and that gives up to the June meeting to be able to decide if you have to increase and fine tune the detail.
Mr. Krumrie: One quick question. On the capital budget do we have to include the golf course payment?
Ms. Carpenter: Yes.
Mr. Krumrie: We should include that? Ms. Burns: Yes.
Ms. Carpenter: It’s owed to Lake Ashton II.
Mr. Costello: It’s a note payment isn’t it? We agreed to buy the golf course for
$230,000 and we only paid $115,000. So we have to pay the other $115,000.
Mr. Deane: It’s due this year.
Mr. Costello: I think what Harry is trying to say is it has got to show up somewhere, and we need this for the budget.
Mr. Krumrie: At least include that now in the preliminary budget. That would be the only changes I would recommend.
Ms. Wells: I sent the Board an email letting them know that we are in the process of updating the reserve study so we have some figures we can look at so, we should have some numbers for the June meeting.
Mr. Deane: I’m with Mike in the fact that I think we set a workshop that is strictly for the budget, obviously this is a full meeting with a lot of other agenda items and we need a workshop that is strictly budget so that we can spend time discussing.

Mr. Ference: I agree with that.
Mr. Krumrie: I would appreciate that. Ms. Burns: Okay.
Mr. Costello: What do we have as far as money put aside for cart paths and bridges? We are being hit with things that are haven’t had to worry about before.
Mr. Krumrie: There are two things in the budget that addresses Mike’s question. One was the $15,000 in contingency funds. Then when we go back to in the capital reserve, we have a golf course capital reserve which I requested to be put in there, at
$25,000. I don’t think we need both of those funds. I think we need to marry those into one place or the other.
Mr. Costello: I was going to say, we could merge them.
Mr. Krumrie: I don’t think it needs to be in two places and I’m not sure with some of Casper’s numbers but probably $40,000 is a little high. We want the reserve fund because obviously we want to save enough money to when the bridges come, we will not scrounge around in the reserves trying to fix them.
Mr. Krumrie: Did we ever get a price of the repair of the bridges? Mr. Costello: No, unless Alan can tell us that number.
Mr. Rayl: I do not have that number.
Ms. Burns: The number that I’m waiting on from Billy Casper is, I spoke to Michael Cooper and just ask for an estimate on annual maintenance of the cart paths and bridges like minor repairs. That’s what would be in the general fund budget, the rest would be shifted to capital for things like bridge replacement, long term projects, etc. Obviously they’ve been on the ground since the first of May, but they are working getting me an estimated number for annual maintenance. We will put that towards that $15,000. Whatever is left over, we’ll move over to the capital.
Mr. Krumrie: As I recall bridges their life span is about 10 years. Since they have been repaired, we are about halfway into that.
Mr. Costello: And some of them need repair.
Mr. Krumrie: Yes. We need to know what that total cost will be.
Mr. Costello: We also have a problem, like on 2 East, that one cart path floods out all the time.

Mr. Krumrie: Yes, it does.
Mr. Costello: I can see that doing a lot of damage itself too. We have to be prepared for whatever is going to happen as time goes on.
Mr. Krumrie: Again, those numbers should be discussed in a budget meeting, not

here.

Mr. Costello: I agree.
Mr. Krumrie: But we need the data to be able to do that. Between Casper and Alan,

we ought to be able to figure those out.
Mr. Costello: I hope so.
Mr. Deane: I would like to make a motion to approve the proposed budget to send forward.
Ms. Burns: And we will need to set the public hearing for August 17, 2020 at 10:30
a.m.
Mr. Costello: The only question I have, Harry had a good point in the fact that the
$115,000 should be separate line item..
Mr. Krumrie: Yes.
Ms. Burns: So a motion to approve as amended to add the $115,000 shown as a capital project expense and set the public hearing for August 17th at 10:30 a.m.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Ms. Krumrie with all in favor Resolution 2020-05 Approving the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget (as amended) and setting the Public Hearing for August 17, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. was approved

Ms. Wells: Was that date for the Public Hearing August 17th, Jill? Ms. Burns: August 17th is the regular August meeting.
Mr. Krumrie: What about the workshop?
Mr. Costello: We should have a workshop as soon as we can get an updated proposal from Christine and Matt.
Ms. Wells: Can we do it as a part of the June meeting?
Mr. Costello: I don’t think we need to do it as a part of a regular meeting.

Ms. Burns: I will get with Matt and Christine and see when there estimated completion date time is, and then we will send an email to everybody on availability and look for maybe early June.
Mr. Costello: That would be good.
Mr. Krumrie: I don’t want to see it with a regular meeting. Mr. Krumrie: When is the next scheduled meeting?
Ms. Burns: The next regular meeting is June 15th. We are going to try and plan a workshop for early June and then if we look at that and see if there needs to be an increase, then we can address that at the June meeting. If there’s not going to be an increase, then we will just keep revising the budget until we hold the Public Hearing in August. We are going to reach out to Supervisors for availability for the workshop in early June. We will do that off-line.
Mr. Deane: I think people have to think about trying to keep our income where it is and the minimum amount that we could raise the assessment to keep our income assessment where it is, is $50 per unit.
Mr. Costello: Borden, I think we always want to keep our assessments down. The only thing is at the last year when we raised it, that was the first time in eight years. You are not going to go every year on the same amount of money you went on the year prior. It’s virtually impossible.
Mr. Deane: We made a big change last year by buying our property. That’s what we did. That’s what changes the assessment. That’s what changes the money we are collecting. If we are going to drop the money we are collecting, where is that money going to come from to pay for things? That’s why I think we have to keep our assessment with the amount of money we need to operate to have a reserve. That’s why I’m saying people have to think about it. The assessment now is $1,875 per year. To keep the amount of money $1,848 plus what we collected in 2020, you would have to raise that assessment
$50. That would give you an $8,875 overage, which would cover the loss of the income basically that we are going to have with the restaurant. From what I understand, the restaurant is done as soon as the court’s open.
Mr. Krumrie: This all needs to be discussed in the budget workshop. We are kicking things around and until we work with the budget it’s just a pure guess.

Ms. Burns: Unless there is anything else on the budget, we can move on to discussion of procedures for the General Election.

Discussion of Procedures for the General Election
Ms. Burns: Seat number 1 which is Bob Ference’s current seat and seat 5 held by Borden Deane are up for election in November of 2020. There is a qualifying period with the Supervisor of Elections. It is June 8th at 12:00 p.m. through 12:00 p.m. on June 12th. Anybody interested in running for those two seats that are up for election needs to go down and qualify with the Polk County Supervisor of Elections. You can contact them with any questions or comments on elections for the District. Many counties will let you go down early, so if you would like to contact them now and get some information especially because their offices may be closed. It may not be a bad idea to reach out early and find out any policies and procedures.
Mr. Ference: Is it appropriate for those seats that are up for election, one of which is mine, that I announce that I am going to run or not run, is that appropriate to be said or spoken now?
Ms. Burns: No, you don’t have to. If you are interested in running, you just need to go down to the Supervisors of Election office just like anybody else.
Mr. Ference: And where is that at? Ms. Burns: I can look up the address.
Ms. Carpenter: We will find out. There’s a lot of information on the website, Jill’s looking right now.
Ms. Burns: It is 70 Florida Citrus Boulevard at Winter Haven, Florida.33380. We will post all this information on the District’s website as well.
Mr. Ference: Okay, thank you.
Ms. Burns: There’s a phone number and an address, you can contact them.
Ms. Carpenter: As Jill said, you can usually do it before that four day period. If reach out to them beforehand a lot of times they will accept earlier than those four days.
Ms. Burns: Correct.
Mr. Ference: You are going to post information online for us?

Ms. Burns: Yes, and if you have any questions anybody can feel free to contact me I’ll be glad to provide the information to you as well.
Mr. Ference: Very good. Thank you.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Monthly Reports
Attorney
Ms. Carpenter: We just have two things. The first is on the golf course. The reciprocal easement agreement we had negotiated with Lake Ashton II at the last meeting it was a relatively typical agreement that incorporated the requirements for the open golf cart paths to the public that are subject to the golf course uses. We thought it was pretty simple apparently Lake Ashton II had a couple of questions. We have acquired insurance on that and we had one other minor issue. The insurance was hesitant, they did not like that. They didn’t want a government to be required to have insurance so we worked with their Counsel and negotiated language that made them comfortable. Basically is says that if it went to anyone other than Lake Ashton II, they would have to acquire insurance, because we know that Lake Ashton II will have it. We ended up getting that finalized and recorded so we should be finished with the golf course completely other than on-going day to day operations. We were surprised it took us as long as it did, but it is finished up now. The second thing is the Nini’s and I wish it was as simple. We filed the complaint, Nini hired a new attorney and I will say it has been just very difficult because the attorney doesn’t answer the phone. He has an information email and it goes to an assistant and they respond via email. Mark will be in my office handling it and he has spoken to the attorney once. The attorney agreed or looked like he was going to find out what date to try to come up with a settlement, because that would certainly be the quickest to find out what it is they are seeking. That way we can resolve this and cut legal fees, and the eviction idea. However, we did not hear back. We were supposed to hear back last week, we did not hear back. We gave them this morning as a deadline saying we really need to know before this meeting, so the Board could act. We did not hear anything, so we are back now waiting for the court. We will file appropriate motions and proceed. If we do hear anything about getting this resolved without litigation, we may ask that the workshop be set for a meeting, so we can deal with anything there. We will keep you posted. It’s very frustrating just due to lack of response or delayed response from their side and

having a new attorney. We had advised them that their prior attorney and their insurance agent had agreed that the insurance was improper. It’s a lot of the same stuff. I told Mark if we didn’t hear from them by the deadline, let’s proceed and get the filings going. That’s where we are, no great news on that side.
Mr. Deane: Jan, are the courts back open and hearing those type of cases now? Ms.	Carpenter:	Yes,	residential	evictions	are	still	postponed	somewhat,
commercial are not. It just depends on the judge it’s assigned to in the court. I’ve asked Mark to set dates as quickly as he can if we don’t hear back from their attorney.
Mr. Deane: Thank you.
Mr. Ference: Is the restaurant still able to serve food and beer and beverages?
Ms. Carpenter: Yes. She did get her liquor license renewed. Christine was on top of that. I think it’s renewed through the 15th of June. Christine has been great following it. We are a little bit at a loss. Her last attorney, she wanted to get out in 30 days, then 90 days, and now she won’t say anything. We are pretty much stuck with the legal process at this point.
Mr. Ference: Okay.
Ms. Carpenter: If you have questions why don’t you give me a call, or shoot an email. Again, I don’t want to say too much more on the record since it is active litigation.
Mr. Ference: Is someone paying the rent for these months they are using the property; these months were we thought she was being evicted?
Ms. Carpenter: Yes. She’s using the property. Her termination through the 90 days with no reason is up now, so now she’s a hold over tenant. So we hope we can get her evicted as quickly as possible.
Mr. Ference: Christine is collecting her rent?
Ms. Carpenter: Again, that falls into litigation, and I would prefer not to say a lot more on the record. So just give me a call.
Mr. Ference: Thank you.
Ms. Burns: Alright. Unless there are any other questions for Jen, we can move on to Christine.

Community Director
Ms. Wells: There was a staff report included in the agenda packet. Matt and I worked on that together. As you can see we are pretty busy, it’s about four pages long. There are a couple of things I wanted to point out. We are working with Yellowstone as we are with all of our other contracts to see if there’s any increases, anticipated so we can plan for the 2021 budget. There are a couple of areas that may be added to the Yellowstone contract, but we are going to evaluate those a little further and let you know if that is definitely be added. Also Applied Aquatic is still working on the ponds and the golf course. They are in the process of treating some lily pads behind the sales office and a couple of other ponds we brought to their attention. The pouring is complete, we just had the last transition strips installed on Friday. We are just waiting on baseboards to move forward on that. Then we will start installing the partitions and such. Also, we did our first virtual coffee, it went very well and we had about 82 participants. Everyone really enjoyed that. I wanted to mention too, since we are talking about home rental revenue, we were able to re-schedule all the events we had booked since the clubhouse was closed, except for one. We didn’t necessarily loose that revenue, we lost if for fiscal year 2020, but it will be in fiscal year 2021.
Mr. Ference: Are you done talking about Yellowstone? I wondered when they were going to put the fish in that were going to eat the pads. Is that going to happen?
Ms. Wells: We are working on that with Applied Aquatic, I believe you are referring to the grass carp, to eat some of the vegetation.
Mr.: Ference: Yes.
Ms. Well: That was going to be talked about in our March meeting and then we moved it, I think we wanted to see a quote for just trying it out on pond and see how it worked. To be honest Bob, it’s been a hold since virtual meetings since then. I’m ready whenever you guys are, whenever we want to discuss it. We are just kind of on hold right now just because of the virtual meeting situation.
Mr. Ference Well, let’s get it on the agenda. We are never going to discuss it, unless we put in on the agenda and decide to work on it or not, go forward or not.
Ms. Wells: I can add that to the June agenda.

Mr. Ference: That would be fine, but I do think we ought to act on it, we’ve talked about it for months now.
Ms. Wells: I believe the last direction staff was given is to pick one pond that we think was in the worst shape which was probably the entry pond where Island Green is. We are going to try that and see how it goes, and determine if it worked out, we are going try different ponds, or it’s not working out, we are not going to do anymore ponds.
Mr. Ference: We never did that. We said we were going to do that, but we never did, did we?
Ms. Wells: That’s correct.
Mr. Ference: Let’s go ahead and let’s at least get that done. Can we get that done before the next meeting?
Ms. Wells: That’s up to the Board.
Mr. Ference: We’ve already agreed to do it, in past meetings. Why can’t we execute what we’ve already asked at the meeting. And see what the results are in a month or two from now.
Mr. Deane: Did we ever have an actual quote?
Ms. Well: I’m looking right now, just give me one second. Mr. Costello: I thought we did.
Ms. Wells: Yes, it was just the price per fish, I believe that pond up there did not require a barrier to be installed. It was $2,970. It was 30 fish per acre for a total of 270 fish for that pond in the front.
Mr. Costello: Have we evaluated the progress Applied Aquatics have made without the fish? From half of what I read, it says that these fish will just inundate the ponds and you will end up with a bigger mess. Has the Applied Aquatics been able to treat the ponds so that we are seeing enough progress that we don’t want to go there?
Ms. Wells: I will get with them to determine that. I know that the reason they were concerned is because there is a lot of hydrilla in it and that can be as you know difficult to control. It will take a while to get it under control. And you are right, carp will eat anything and everything. There’s pretty much nothing that they will not eat. I can definitely get with Applied Aquatics and see what they think. That was their original plan. This would be in addition to what they are doing, this would help it recover quickly.

Mr. Ference: I think they thought it was a lot easier to control the fish than it was the pond. The lily pads in the ponds was the secondary concern.
Mr. Deane: My concern is that will it destroy the other fish. People use that for bass fishing and what happens to that situation?
Mr. Costello: I think it would be wise to get Applied Aquatics an evaluation.
Ms. Wells: I will get with Applied Aquatics and see based on where we are at right now with the condition of the ponds if he still recommends moving forward with the fish. The last think I had on my list that I wanted to bring up as far as staff report was the status of the bowling alley.
Ms. Wells: We’ve been working with Alan and the insurance adjuster to see where we move forward from here. The insurance adjuster was very adamant with us coming up a plan that’s going to work. Our original plan caused another area to pop up. So, we did get leak protection per the insurance adjuster’s recommendation. They are still saying its ground water intrusion. They cannot find any leaking pipes in the Clubhouse which is a great thing. There are no leaking pipes there was just ground water intrusion. The contractor that originally did the work sent us two plans of action. One was an extensive sealing to the floor of the bowling alley. The other one was installing a well point. I sent Alan the results of the two plans. Alan recommended moving forward with the well point system. I reached out to the Insurance adjuster with the recommendation from our Engineer. They said they were going to get with the underwriters and get back to me. I checked my email before we started the meeting, and I haven’t heard back from him yet. So, as soon as we get the go ahead to move forward with that project from the insurance adjuster we will. In the meantime, it’s good at least we have a plan of action going forward, it’s just now getting it approved by insurance. If they agree that that’s a great way to proceed with the project, then we will proceed. I’m hoping to get back to them as soon as possible and then we will be ready to start. I think everybody is ready to pull the trigger and waiting for them to say the payment is going to be covered. I believe the well point in the proposal was around $89,000. We definitely want to get insurance blessing on that, before we move forward with that project. Any questions, on the bowling alley or any other things on the staff report?
Mr. Costello: No.

Ms. Wells: Also, I did send it out to all Supervisors this was the quote for a sneeze guard to be installed at the Activity’s desk. This is something that we would install when the Clubhouse re-opens. They are protection for staff and residents. As you can see, Jill has it held up now. It’s a total of $694.60. He definitely added sales tax and we do not pay sales tax. It would be to install on the main desk. There’s two openings that are approximately 15 inches wide by 4 inches tall. They say it will take approximately 2 weeks to fabricate and get installed. That quote includes the fabrication of the panel part as well as the delivery and installation.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Mr. Costello with all in 4 in favor, and 1 opposed, the Purchase of the Sneeze Guard, was approved.

Mr. Costello: I think is going to be something that is going to be the new normal.
We are going to use it as time goes on, we are going to continue with stuff like this.
Ms. Wells: And it is able to be moved and uninstalled in the case of events that we may want to uninstall for events. We can just pull it out of the plastic disks and lay the plexi glass down.

Consideration of Quotes for Baseboards
Ms. Wells: The other thing that I have was the installation of baseboards in the restroom, as well as installation in the hallway and foyer. When the flooring was laid there was about a quarter inch gap between the pouring in the baseboards. Staff was recommending to add a design element and also to cover up that gap. The bathrooms were originally tile baseboards. We had to uninstall that so it would be installation of the baseboards in the bathroom. The quote from Bock and Hoeft is $2,650. That includes the installation of all of the shoe molds throughout most of the foyer area, hallway, and conference room. It also includes painting of the baseboards, quarter rounds, and then also the baseboards in the restroom. There was a quote from Heritage, do you have that one, Jill?
Ms. Burn: Yes.

Ms. Wells: That one was about $917 and it includes the same thing. We did have a third quote that I was expected to receive on Friday, but I have not received it yet. So, we need to move forward with this project. A lot of things are hinging on the baseboards being installed.

On MOTION by Mr. Ference seconded by Mr. Deane, with all in favor, the Proposal from Brock and Hoeft for $2,650, was approved.

Ms. Wells: I have received a lot of requests recently about extending the hours at the pool and the capacity at the pool. Staff is recommending possibly extending it to 7:00 or 8:00 just to take care of people that still work in the community and increasing the capacity to 35. I just wanted to bring that up in case, we see what the Board thinks of doing that. And then we have worked with the roving guards, as well as the pool security and staff, to make sure that it is monitored as insurance recommended for the entire time it is open.
Mr. Deane: Christine, what are the dimensions of the pool?
Ms. Wells: I can definitely get those. That’s the thing we wanted to make sure that we were able to increase the capacity, and still maintain the 6 foot social distancing. If that 35 does not work, we will do as many as we can up to that. I believe It was recommended 50% at the most. Our pool capacity is 75. So even the 35 is less than 50%. Staff would make sure that we are able to extend that as well as still maintain the social distancing.
Mr. Krumrie: Does the 35 include in the pool and in the pool deck?
Ms. Burns: The entrance recommendation was 25-50% of the bathing load capacity. If we wanted to count the pool deck separately, whoever the roving security guard is would have to tell people on the pool deck that you can’t get in the pool based on the capacity of who’s moving in and out. Our thought was at least during Phase 1 the capacity should be kept to who’s going to be allowed in the pool with the assumption that everybody on the pool deck is also using the pool. We can adjust that. It puts more on the person monitoring the number of people coming in and watching the pool. Our thought is with Phase 1 recommendations we wanted to be cautious, especially with it being a 55

and up community that we should be cautious and go with the lower end of the capacity, as opposed to the 25-50. As things change and we enter Phase 2 some of these suggestions might change as well. We will continue to re-evaluate based on usage. I think if we are not actively turning people away, we can increase the capacity a little bit, and allow them to continue their monitor.
Ms. Wells: That makes sense. And then on the hours of extending the pool, there are a couple of people that like to come in before the 8:00, but it’s not very busy before 8:00, so maybe to start off we just extend it later versus earlier we could maybe do from 8:00 until 7:00 and see how that goes. We could do 7:00-7:00. I’m open to suggestions as to whatever the board thinks. I’m sure you’ve probably had residents come to you and give their suggestions as to when they think the pool should be open.
Mr. Costello: This also means we are going to have to extend the pool guard. The security there, am I right or wrong?
Ms. Wells: I was talking to Jill about that. We could use some staff as well just so we maintain our budget in regard to security. Originally, we budgeted for 7 days a week, 5 hours a day only through Mother’s Day. We are defiantly cognizant of that, but utilizing staff and security, we should be able to work it out.
Ms. Burns: Yes, we are trying to keep it within the existing budget for number budget, and when the Clubhouse closed, we thought it would make sense to utilize some of the staff for that purpose for now.
Mr. Deane: I understand the recommendation is to go to 12 hours, is that correct?
Ms. Wells: I think we could even start off with 8:00 to 7:00. I’m pretty open, I really think you are going to need it more toward the evening than you will in the morning.
Mr. Deane: I agree.
Ms. Wells: Some people that do laps in our pool may disagree with me. They are the ones that are at 6:00 and 7:00. But generally when I get here, there’s not too many people out there at 6:00 or 7:00. Actually, I don’t know if I’ve been here at 6:00 or 7:00, but I can already tell you there’s hardly anybody out there.
Mr. Deane: There’s only two or three people that do that.
Ms. Wells: I would probably recommend going 8:00 to 7:00 right now, or even 8:00 to 8:00, but just keep that time at 8:00 in the morning.

Ms. Burns: If no one has an issue with that, I think we just continue to allow Christine to work within the adopted budget to extend the hours and increase the capacity as allowed by insurance.
Ms. Burns: We do not need a motion; it would just be staff direction. Christine, did you have anything else?
Ms. Wells: That’s all I have for right now, unless anyone has any questions for me. Mr. Krumrie: Christine, did you ever follow up on that natural gas?
Ms. Wells: Yes. I’m working with him now, we sent over years’ worth of bills for propane and what Harry’s referring to is looking into the possibility of natural gas in regards. First there’s propane gas to see if there’s any costs saving for the District. So, I am waiting to hear back from them. They are going to do a study because there is a lot involved with getting pipes here, there’s a pipe that runs off Toms Industry Road. They are willing to install pipes going to the clubhouse if it makes sense costs wise for them.
Mr. Deane: The only problem with that is you would have to change out all your cooking equipment in the kitchen because natural gas and propane are not compatible in the equipment.
Ms. Burns: Anything else for Christine?

Field Operations Manager
Ms. Burns: Matt, anything from you?
Mr. Fisher: Just a couple things. You will notice some deceased plants along the Boulevard we are taking care of. There are some oyster plants at the entrance by the gate house that have died and we have removed them. We have some mulching that needs to be done along the Boulevard. Also, the gatehouse has been completed, painted, looks very nice. Other than that, any questions?
Mr. Deane: Just thanks for everything Matt. Mr. Ference: Thank you Matt, good job.
Mr. Costello: Matt has done a good job. Everybody has truly worked very hard between getting the things done in the clubhouse that have been done, the pop-up grocery. Just so many things that you never anticipate. God forbid we go through this for either an extended period of time or it ends and we go back to it again. So, I think we are

really going to have to critique what we have done. But as far as I’m concerned, the staff has done a phenomenal job. Everybody.
Mr. Fisher: Also it was brought to our attention the irrigation of the Dog Park, and I appreciate that. I will check that out.
Mr. Costello : One of the things in the Dog Park and I was told about it this morning, and I saw it. We do have fire ants in there.
Mr. Fisher: I got Mario to take care of those already. Mr. Costello: Thank you.
Mr. Ference: Speaking of fire ants. What about all the fire ants we have in our houses?
Mr. Fisher: I’ll be there tomorrow.

CDD Manager
Ms. Burns: Ok. I just have a couple of items. We are required to determine the number of registered voters within the District as of April 15th each year. This year the number is 1,430 for Lake Ashton. I will reach out to everybody regarding the budget workshop once we get with Matt and Christine on the update of the reserve study. Also, I’m sure all of you are aware on Friday the Governor added gyms to the list of Phase 1 operations. I’ve been speaking with Mike and Doug and Mary and Christine regarding coordinating any openings of the fitness facilities within Lake Ashton. The thought is that we wanted to work as a group so that if one decided to open and one decided not to remain open we didn’t flood everyone to one facility. Mike and Doug and Christine and Mary are meeting this afternoon to go over some policies, procedures and suggestions. We are still waiting recommendations from the insurance company on gym openings. So for now, those facilities are closed pending coordination from the Districts. I just wanted to a make sure to delegate that to the chair to work with staff.
Mr. Ference: Matt, before you leave. You had someone take care of fire ants here for the community, which pest control group did you use, if I may ask?
Mr. Fisher: Country boy that’s who we used at the clubhouse. Mr. Ference: Country boy.
Mr. Ference: We are talking about sugar ants, is that the same thing?

Mr. Fisher: No. That’s completely different.
Mr. Ference: Does everybody have sugar ants? Mr. No.
Mr. Ference: I’m sorry. Go on. I will talk to Country Boy. Please go on.
Ms. Wells: Jill, I think you were suggesting that we have a motion to delegate to the Chairman approval of the re-opening procedures in conjunction with LA 2 to make sure we don’t have one open and not the other to cause overcrowding.
Mr. Burns: Correct.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Mr. Plummer with all in favor, the motion to delegate the Chairman to approve re- opening procedures for gyms, was approved.

Mr. Costello: That is one of the things we have discussed. I have spoken with Christine and we do want to open everything in unison with CDD 2, not one at a time. People are going to be coming to one group or another saying well they are doing it on this side, why are we not doing it on that side. We want to do it in unison and this way here everybody knows what’s going on.
Mr. Burns: Makes a lot of sense. We don’t have confusion from residents that way about policies and procedures of one place vs. the other. So, you know that’s if we can all work together to make sure we have a good set of policies and procedures for both buildings when the decision is made to open those.
Mr. Costello: And while we are on the subject, Jan and maybe you can give us a better idea. Do we have any kind of foresight as far as what we are looking at? As far as opening other parts of the building or you know, as far as opening the building in general?
Ms. Carpenter: Right now, I mean, we have just gone to full Phase 1 which would allow partial re-opening of the exercise. Small groups can now meet with certain social distancing. But the idea of a large group in the ballroom, is probably a Phase 2 or 2  and
½ to Phase 3. The Governor is trying to open quickly. He’s been pushing, I think the big. We will all know a lot more in probably in anther 2-3 weeks, when all the testing can come in to see if there’s been any elevation with the partial re-opening. If there’s not been any increase elevation in the COVID results around the state, I would say that by June we

would probably be into the Phase 2 and have at least a partial re-opening of the ballroom and other meetings. Again, that’s just a guess, based on what I’ve seen so far.
Ms. Burns: One thing I did want to bring up that a lot of District’s have been doing Christine and I have discussed as well. Is the guest policy. A lot of Districts because of we are working with limited capacities have done away with the ability for residents to bring guest. The idea is if we can only have 30 people at the pool, we didn’t want to be turning away residents because people have guests with them. So I think that’s one thing that we may want to discuss with the opening. If you have any thoughts on that obviously, that can be a touchy subject, but the thought is we don’t want to be turning away residents when there are guest that don’t live in the community when we are working with limited capacities. So that is one thing that we have been discussing.
Ms. Carpenter: That’s true. Some Districts don’t want to touch it so cause if they have a relative that might be important for them to have and others want to make sure that there is room for the residents. Since it’s a very short-term position, it’s probably ok to do that, if that’s something you want to do.
Ms. Burns: Just a thought if anybody has any ideas feel free to give me feedback or if you have any questions, or thoughts on that, but just something that I wanted to let you know that we will probably be discussing with the chairs and the staffs.
Mr. Costello: Well I think that everybody is quite honestly, just, if this is becoming a mental health issue as far as I’m concerned. I mean it’s, yeah we have the physical threat and I think people are a little bit, they are tired of being cooped up the way they have been. And we do want to accommodate them as much as possible , but we do have to go by what our insurance company is saying, what the State is saying. I mean right down the line, I mean we have a lot of restrictions on us, in order to get everything back in order. And we would like to do it as quickly as possible, but more importantly, I think we want to do it as safely as possible.
Ms. Burns: Right.
Mr. Krumrie: Well right now people aren’t supposed to be traveling anyway. So, I mean why couldn’t we just allow residents to use the facilities?
Ms. Carpenter: Yeah, it’s really up to the Board. You could put on your rules that we would put out that we would request that people that don’t bring and not make it a

mandate and just make it a reminder. I don’t know if that would work , but that is a middle position to request strongly. Everyone’s handling it differently. I see some places where it’s a real problems and there’s lots of people, and people are not listening and following the rules. And other communities , people are doing a great job keeping their distance on their own, not needing a lot of support.
Mr. Krumrie: Christine, let me ask you a question. Have we had an issue at the pool where there have been guests that were keeping residents from using the pool?
Ms. Wells: We did have one just yesterday but the guest was asked to get out. That’s what I was thinking is that we could if we don’t have capacity issues, I mean, I’m whatever the Board wants to do, but if we don’t have capacity issues they can, if we do, they would be the first one asked to leave. We could do it like that.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
Approval of Check Run Summary
Ms. Burns: Just a couple of other items. The first is approval of the check run summary through May 18th that’s in your package. We just need a motion.

On MOTION by Mr. Deane seconded by Mr. Ference with all in favor the Check Run Summary was approved.

Combined Balance Sheet
Mr. Krumrie: Jill, I have a question on Check Run Summary though. Ms. Burns: Sure.
Mr. Krumrie: What’s the Check Run Summary, I notice there’s a couple of large payments to Sisco , which I believe is for whatever you call it, the groceries, provided by Sisco. But also I did not find anything related to cash receipts related to that particular payment. So it seems to me like the cash receipts are lacking or lagging a couple of months before we finally see that.
Ms. Burns: This check run is all the checks that were issued by the District. So, in the financial statements you will see a deposit for the amount received.
Mr. Krumrie: I don’t see that. So, for the check you see here, so the two months lagging.

Ms. Burns: Christine
Ms. Wells: Well what I was going to say, are because the financials are only through March 31st, we didn’t start the Market Place until after that.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comments
Ms. Burns: That brings us to our Public Comments for any agenda items that or if anything wasn’t on the agenda. Again, we will go to Zoom’s raise hand feature. If you are on the phone, you can also use * 9 and that will raise hands.
Mr. Krumrie: Jill, I have a question. The audit reports, it’s been nine months since they closed the last fiscal year, or close to nine months. You know when that might be issued?
Ms. Burns: They are due to the State by June 30th each year, so we should have that soon. We’ll get a draft review; it goes to Management and Counsel and then will be sent to the Board. We usually receive them by early June.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comments
Ms. Burns: Alright. We’ve got two public comments with people with a raise hand.
The first is Keith Stephens. I’m going to unmute you.
Mr. Stephens: Thank you. Good morning and my comment has turned into a thank you, I appreciate your determination to seek evaluation of the progress on the clearing of the pools or the ponds. We live adjacent to one and while some of the shore weeds are decaying, it looks to us like the aquatic weeds are getting more vigorous. So we appreciate your opportunity to find out how that’s going, and we hope that it goes more quickly and completely than it appears to be the moment. Thanks.
Resident: Good morning. I just wanted to ask a quick question on the issue in regard to the pool hours. I didn’t catch the actual hours that you approved for extended the pool hours.
Mr. Costello: 8:00-7:00.
Resident: Okay and thank you for your attention with regards to the amenity. I also agree that I think common sense will prevail at the pool with regard to people using the

May 18, 2020

.
Lake Ashton CDD

facilities. And I look forward to hearing the information coming through on the opening of the gym and some of the other amenities. Thank you so much.
Ms. Burns: That's all the public comments, we can move on to Supervisor Request,
or anything the Board members have before we adjourn. Anything from the Board?
Mr. Costello: The only thing I would like to say is we have worked, the staff has worked really hard, and I would really like to thank them for all the hard work that they have done. People don't realize what we've been through in the last month and½ two months. It really shown that they are loyal to this community. They really are. And I thank them.

TWELTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment
There not being any further business to discuss,
Ms. Burns: Thank you to everybody, and Board members we'll be reaching out for scheduling of the budget workshop in a couple of weeks.

1 On MOTION by Mr. Ference seconded by Mr. Plummer with all in favor the meeting was adjourned.
