Mr. Bonin joined the meeting during this presentation.
Mr. Flint: When we are ready to implement the irrigation utility we will bring a budget amendment to amend the FY26 budget to include a separate fund for the irrigation utility. The timing of this is not clear on when the transition will occur and the city is still evaluating options

for alternative water supply. We are going through this process to get ready and when we need to, implement it.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Ms. Trucco: I’m sitting in for Jay today and he sent a couple notes back to the Board, which is that he sent the revised interlocal agreement to the city, he has also sent a revised interlocal agreement to the county. We are waiting on feedback on that. We are continuing to track the expansion and contraction petition.
Mr. Morgan: My understanding is that staff and the Board have done everything and we are waiting on VHB to provide us with the proper exhibits. Is that what is holding it up?
Mr. Prowell: We are working on the exhibits and updated cost estimate.
Mr. Morgan: The exhibits are the only things holding back our submission and we are rapidly running out of time. This is time crucial. Anything you can do to help accelerate the production of these exhibits and getting them to GMS and Lennar would be greatly appreciated.
Mr. Prowell: I will get right on it after this meeting.

Mr. Forbes: We need an updated map of the tracts to be owned and maintained by the CDD. Mr. Flint: Alan can work with VHB on the maintenance map.
Mr. Bonin: I want an ETA on the map and the exhibits for the expansion.
Mr. Prowell: As soon as I hang up I will find out where these exhibits are and hopefully get them to you today.

Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Scheerer: Phase 2 playground we had a site visit and it went really well and there are just a couple minor touchups and yesterday Zach sent me the schedule of values and I am putting together a document and I will get that to insurance, but everything went well with the Phase 2 playground. We talked about some issues at the Phase 1B dog park, pet owners were not watching their dogs they were digging giant holes, the benches were falling in so we removed the benches and put them on the concrete pad next to the picnic table. The holes have been filled back in and new sod installed. There was some fence damage at the dog park by the landscape company, they are picking up the fence today and that will get done. Late yesterday I received from the HOA a request for access to a CDD tract in order for a resident to build a pool. It is lot 734 on Vizcaya, 5636 Vizcaya. I was able to look at everything today and it is a unique situation where next to the homes about a 4-foot-wide gap between the retaining wall and the property line, it is part of the

stormwater pond. Maybe Chris, George and I may look at that later today. I have taken photographs today and I normally do a report and send it to the District Manager allowing them permission to cross the 4-foot section. They want to use the side of that to get in the back to build a swimming pool.
Ms. Trucco: We have a form license agreement for that exact situation.
Mr. Flint: We normally do those administratively if they are required. We try to encourage them to go between their house and a neighbor’s and not cross CDD property but in some instances there is not an alternative. We have a restoration clause in the temporary easement agreement that requires them to restore any damage.
Mr. Scheerer: My concern is there is a very tall retaining wall in lieu of them fencing more across the top. I videotaped and took several photographs this morning to make sure I have an accurate record of preexisting conditions. It drops off significantly behind that house into the dry pond.
