FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS	Roll Call and Pledge of  Allegiance

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public	Comments	on	Specific
Items on the Agenda (speakers will fill out a card and submit to the District Manager prior to beginning of the meeting)
Mr. Costello:  Ok public comments.   We have a request by Mr. Steve   Realmuto.
Mr. Realmuto:  Good Morning.  I'm glad to see that we now have a path forward  that gives us greater control over our communities' future. Hopefully the COD II  Supervisors will accept your offer, only then will the deal be close to being done. As we move forward  and the attorney's  work to finalize the legal  documents,  there  is     several

October 30, 2019	Lake Ashton COD

details on which I believe you need to give them direction. One, and  I'm  sure  the attorney's know this is the deed to the property and not the interlocal agreement that the easement to guarantee all residents access to the golf  cart paths  and bridges  needs to  be binding perpetual. Two, an easement should be included to allow the already approved drainage work near the Eagles Nest to proceed. Three, the tax assessor herself has been here and told us in this very room that it is possible some or all of the golf course property will be taxable depending on decisions made regarding its operation  accessing membership. Since the operator will be making these decisions and not you it is essential that the agreement either prohibit non Lake Ashton residents from being  members  or at the very least the lessee is responsible for the taxes. Four, while it is unclear to me exactly what problem ceding ownership  of the three holes to COD II actually  solves  since it will  be operating the entire golf course anyway, it is foreseeable that doing this creates a problem for COD I residents. As you may know many COD resident properties  area  5  abut the property you voted to cede to COD II. This creates a situation where  they  will have to go to COD II whose Supervisors they did not elect rather than their elected Supervisors in COD I to request pond maintenance or improvements that are foreseeable such as boundary fencing. You could fix this by you keeping the property they abut to  within COD l's boundaries or perhaps by including appropriate  easements.  Finally  I believe a previous speaker at the last meeting raised the issue of trust. As any good businessman knows  this isn't about trust.  In fact it would  actually be much  less divisive  to the community to resolve all of these details in writing ahead of time so that everyone remembers what the agreements actually  were going forward.  As much as you might  trust current Supervisors or Boards, they do change over time. This agreement done properly  is perpetual.
Mr. Costello: That is all the requests that we have.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Unfinished Business
A. Consideration of Draft lnterlocal Agreement between Lake Ashton  COD and Lake Ashton II COD regarding the acquisition, operation and maintenance  of the Golf Club
Ms. Burns: Do you want me to give an update of where we are? Mr. Costello: Yes, please.

Ms. Burns: Our counsel drafted an interlocal that had the updates that  we  discussed at the meeting on the 241h. That was circulated to the Board on  Monday. Everyone reviewed it. It was sent to the Lake Ashton II attorney's  late yesterday.  They  had a couple of issues that we think still need to be worked through between Jan and Andrew and Mike and Sara. We have been trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this without having to go back and forth with ten days of meetings. Back to the other Board we are running out of time. The thought of being here today is to have this  Board  designate one person to work with Jan and Andrew and counsel for Lake Ashton II and their appointed Board member Jim to come up with a form of interlocal agreement  that  can be presented at a joint meeting with a proposed date of November 8, 2019. That is what we are looking for  today.
Mr. Ference: Does that require a motion designating someone from our Board?
Ms. Burns: Yes. You would say that it would be to authorize somebody to negotiate an interlocal with counsel and the Lake Ashton II Board member and their counsel to present at the November 8, 2019 meeting would be the motion.
Mr. Costello: You are just talking about going over the interlocal and  coming  up with more or less a finalized  version to present at a joint meeting on November    81h?
Ms. Burns: Correct.
Mr. Costello: I could work with Jim as far as that goes.
Mr. Plummer: Mike, can I make a suggestion? Since it was my motion with all the bullet points that has probably made a lot of changes in that I would gladly accept and  work that out with them since that probably would be any of the issues in those changes   we did through the motion of those.   It was actually seven bullet   points.
Mr.  Ference:  If  that  requires  a motion  then  I would  make  that motion  that   Mr.
Plummer  represent us because  of the reasons he just  annunciated.
Mr. Deane: I understand why Bob is making his motion and I understand Mike worked with Jim before with regards to interlocal agreements. If there are any changes made I think it has to be brought back to the Board before it can be voted on.      Period.
Mr. Costello: As of now it is all in black and white. All we are going to do is look at it. Like it was brought up by the speaker here there are a few issues that really prior to signing this or approving this they really need to be reviewed.

Ms.  Burns:  The person  appointed  doesn't  have the ability  to agree to    anything.
They are negotiating the part and would be brought back to the Board.
Mr. Costello: Like I said it is in black and white. I think I was the one I think in the beginning who started the negotiations prior to Bob coming on. It is just a matter of me going over it with Jim and seeing whatever changes are going to be made.
Ms. Burns: We have a motion on the floor from Bob Ference to appoint Bob Plummer as that person.   Is there a second to  that?
Mr. Krumrie:   I will second.

On MOTION by Mr. Ference seconded by Mr. Krumrie with 3  in favor and 2 opposed the motion to authorize Mr. Robert Plummer to negotiate with counsel and Lake Ashton 11 Board member Jim Mecsics  was approved.

Mr. Costello: We have a motion on the floor and a second all those in favor.

Ms. Burns: That is really all that we had today. The only other item I would say are you guys ok with November 3th at 11:00 a.m.? Lake Ashton II has a meeting scheduled in the morning at 9:30 a.m. and we thought we could schedule the joint meeting immediately following.
Mr. Plummer: We are assuming that the negotiations would be finished at that point and presentable at that meeting.
Ms. Burns: That is the hope that we would have a form of interlocal agreement to present to both Boards at the joint meeting. If that is ok with everybody, we don't need a motion, we can just go ahead and advertise.  We will have Christine and Mary announce.    I just need to confirm with the Lake Ashton II Board  that works for them but they will all    be there that day anyway that would be held, I checked the date with Christine. The USO Dance is here so we will be holding it at the HFC because this room is unavailable.
Mr. Plummer: Does that meet the ten day requirement for the meeting?
Ms. Burns: It does.  The deadline for the papers is today at 2:00 p.m.  As long as  we get them the ad in the next couple of hours we can advertise before, it just has to run next Friday.
Mr. Deane: My question is what if there is changes to the interlocal agreement the way we have it written? This Board has to vote on it before it can, before the joint  meeting.

Mr. d'Adesky: I know that Jill said this, but to be very clear, the person is not delegated with authority to finalize or to execute or to approve simply to negotiate it. It would have to be brought back. Some of the changes that have been proposed may be significant, but those would have to be brought back to the Board and considered.
Mr. Deane: So, do we have to meet prior to the   gth7
Ms. Burns: You don't unless you wish to. We could continue this again but if we have a form of agreement to present at the gth both Boards as we did in previous meetings would have separate motions to approve that. To the extent one Board or the other didn't want to approve the form of agreement  that was provided  you would just vote against  it  at that time. We don't need to hold a meeting for Lake Ashton II to approve it in their own Board meeting and Lake Ashton to approve it in their own Board meeting and then again jointly. Unless there is a reason to continue this again I think we are just looking  at the  joint meeting on the gth unless anybody has something that they think that this Board  needs to discuss  before then.
Mr. Plummer:  I don't want to continue a continued,  continued  meeting.
Mr. Ference: Does that require a motion to then to adjourn this a gust meeting? Ms. Burns: We have to do public comments  and then we can do   that.

FOURTH ORDER  OF BUSINESS	Public Comments
Mr. Costello:   Do we have any public  comments?
Mr. David Price: My name is David Price. Would you explain to me what the interlocal is all about?
Mr. Costello: The interlocal is an agreement between COD I and COD II as far as the purchase and operation of the golf course, however it is going to be maintained, greenspace  whatever.
Mr. Price: Thank  you.
Mr. Costello: Any other public comment? Before we leave I want to read a note that I got. It says "Dear COD I, Thank you so much for dedicating in the media center in Murray's memory. It would have meant the world to him to have been recognized for his service to the Lake Ashton community. Our family is most grateful for your thoughtfulness.  Sincerely, Linda Zacharia."  Ok Bob.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Adjournment

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