Hemingway Point CDD to Use Clubhouse
Ms. Duque: The next item is, we have been approached by the District manager of Hemingway Point COD. The District manager is Paul Winkeljohn from my office, GMS, and the Hemingway Point COD is a District that is very close in location to you, and you're very aware of that and know this community. This COD will have a discussion on their budget on April 26, 2023, and they believe they're going to have some residents showing up to that meeting. They do not have enough space in their community to host this meeting, that's why they're approaching you, the Board of Supervisors of this District, to see if you will allow them to use the clubhouse for that meeting. They do have security officers so they will be bringing their security officers, or they will be using ours, and we'll pay for those services. So, details about that have not been discussed, and I don't have the details but, for now, it's for the Board to discuss, and let me know if you agree for this Board to meet in our clubhouse.
Mr. Pelaez: You said it was the 26th? Ms. Duque: Yes, April 26th.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Monica, is there something on April 26th?
Ms. Henning: As of right now I don't believe so.
Ms. Varela-Medina: I wouldn't have a problem with it.
Ms. Duque:	So, I think what I'm hearing Julie, is I have a motion from you to approve this request?
Ms. Varela-Medina: Yes.

On MOTION by Ms. Varela-Media seconded by Ms. Calero with all in favor, accepting the request from Paul Winkeljohn on behalf of the Hemingway Point COD to have a budget meeting at the clubhouse on April 26, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. as stated on the record was approved.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Ms. Duque: Let's move forward to staff reports, and then we'll jump in with Chic, so attorney.

Attorney
Mr. Cochran: I don't have anything specific to report this time unless anyone has any questions for me.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Scott.

8.   Engineer
Ms. Duque: Nothing to report under the engineer. So, before we jump into the clubhouse manager's report, let's move to Chic.
Mr. Chandler: Yes, do you want to go over the sidewalks? Ms. Duque: We'll do that under field report.
Mr. Chandler: Ok, well the only thing I have is just to say that we're getting close to finishing everything we have here. The pool is supposed to be diamond bright this week, and I understand that it takes a couple of weeks for it to be regulated, or for the chemicals to be regulated as Kevin said.
Ms. Henning: Yes, it's going to take 2 weeks for the bigger pool and one week for the kid splash for the PH to be regulated with the chemicals before we are good to go.
Mr. Chandler: Is there an opening that you guys are going to do as far as the club goes, as far as the people go, like a grand opening, or something going on?
Mr. Pelaez: I think we had tentatively said like next Friday that we wanted to open, and I think we can open the gym, basketball court, kiddy area, the playground, not the pool, butlet them start enjoying those amenities.
Mr. Chandler: Correct.
Mr. Pelaez: So, that was the original plan, and we could just wait for the pool to be balanced, and make sure about all our chemicals, that we meet the guidelines of the state or whatever, and we can just send an email to open that way.
Mr. Chandler:  Ok.  Painting, that should be in pretty good shape, everything
should be done by next week, or by the end of this week.
Ms. Duque: With the painting?
Mr. Chandler: Yes, I think he only has the back half to do. Ms. Varela-Medina: Is the clubhouse completed?
Mr. Chandler: The clubhouse is from this corner all the way around. Mr. Pelaez: The interior is done.
Mr. Chandler: Right, the interior is done, the outside is all done, except for the very back patio area, the furniture was an issue as far as getting that out of the way yesterday, it was the last thing. Do you want me to talk about the lights?
Mr. Pelaez: Yes.

Mr. Chandler: Ok, so it was brought to my attention that I guess you guys wanted to replace the outside lights, and Mauricio came up with an idea, maybe could we utilize the lights that are there, and I said that's a good idea because those are really expensive and they're really good lights. I have to tell you, Lennar did some crappy work, but they also supplied some really good stuff. So, I did a mockup sample of the lights, and what they would look like if we painted them black.
Mr. Pelaez: Can you hold it up a little bit?
Mr. Chandler: Yes. That one we cleaned up really good, and that's what it looks like, and this is what it will look like, and remember this is only one coat, so we'll put another coat on of the enamel, and I think they're going to pop like crazy. I think maybe the lighting, the bulbs, maybe we ought to consider also, just maybe something a little bit different with the bulbs. So, it's a little bit of work and what I'll do is, we did this one, and I did this with my guys today actually, we'll figure out what the cost is going to be to take them down, clean them up, disassemble them, paint them, put them back together and go from there, but taking this apart and really looking at it, they're well-made and they're worth keeping.
Ms. Duque: Ok.
Mr. Chandler: And the other ones, just so you know, in the back are really big, they're like 3 times this size.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Chic, they look really nice.
Mr. Chandler: The last thing I think I had Juliana was the sidewalks. Basically, Jesus and I went through, he labeled all the sidewalks, all the high spots, and all the areas where the trees are raising the sidewalks that have to be taken out. I can tell you I left my prices the same as the prices I had last time, except for one I raised it $10, it took a little bit more work, which is item A on that. So, you can think about it, or whatever, and let me know. The pictures are there, every one is detailed, and there were a lot of trip hazards as you know.
Mr. Pelaez: But it's essentially the same process that you guys had been doing before.
Ms. Duque: Yes, the same thing.
Mr. Chandler:  Same exact thing, exactly, and like I said I kept the prices the
same.

Ms. Duque: So, Chic also provided us with an estimate to continue with phase 2, as you can see, and as he mentioned, this is what we have done in all of our past projects in terms of the sidewalk, and here are the pictures. The pictures show the areas, also the work that needs to be done, and the proposal shows the description of that work and the total amount. So, to complete all of those areas the total amount is $35,480, and if you would like to move forward with this project, we'll need a motion, and also to authorize District staff to work on the agreement.

On MOTION by Ms. Calero seconded by Ms. Varela­ Medina with all in favor, accepting the proposal from Chandler Contractors in the amount of $35,480 for the sidewalk project, and authorizing District staff to prepare an agreement was approved.

Ms. Duque: I don't think we have anything else to discuss, right Chic? Mr. Chandler: No, we're good. Thank you, guys, very much.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Chic.

C.	Club
Monthly Report
Declare Surplus Property - Inventory Furniture
Discussion of Increase with Delta Five Security
Ms. Duque: Let's move forward then with the clubhouse report, Monica.
Ms. Henning: Good evening, before I get into the clubhouse report I know Oscar wanted to make an announcement.
Mr. Borras: Yes, I just wanted to announce, because I think this is the first meeting where we formally introduce Keslee as the new clubhouse manager, replacing Sergio. Sergio is still with the company but at another location. We went through a couple of candidates for his replacement and Keslee really rose to the occasion so tonight is her first night, and it feels really good to be able to promote from within and keep it all within the same team, so welcome Keslee to the group.
Ms. Desulme: Thank you.
Ms. Henning: And I'll go over the manager's reports.

Ms. Duque: Monica, before you move on to that and before we start the monthly report, I talked really quickly to Oscar and I would like to make sure that, and I know KW has a training program for the front desk staff when a situation arises at the clubhouse if someone comes in, if there is an angry resident, and there are different situations that the clubhouse staff might have to deal with at some point. So, we want to make sure they are properly trained, and it's my understanding that is being provided by KW.  So, as soon as the open position for a full-time front desk person is filled, then I know Oscar is going to bring that team together and make sure that takes place at the clubhouse, so we encourage that training as well. Thank you so much Oscar for that. Ok, go ahead Monica.
Ms. Henning: Yes, so moving into our club report you may notice that this time it looks a little bit different. Our company kind of streamlined it and made some changes to some of our management reports, adding a bit more information in certain places. So, you'll notice it's going to look a little bit different moving forward but, has all of the same information that we continue to bring in. The table of contents is there too just in case we need a quick reference to help navigate it, and our reports are normally short but, just in case for a quick reference there. We have included now a facilities management section, just a more high-level work order summary there, and then located near the end of our report you'll actually have each and every one broken down, and the supplemental section, so I'll get to that in just a couple of minutes. Moving into the preventative maintenance summary, we just wanted to also start highlighting the preventative maintenance that's going on every month, where we're at as far as what items have already taken place, and what items are still going to be taking place later on in the month. So, you can see there it says KH Pools, they have been temporarily suspended right now because of the renovations but, they will be coming back online as we move into March. The gym preventative maintenance, while it wasn't scheduled, we did go ahead and shift that up because we wanted to take care of the upholstery and then have everything ready to go in March, so we won't have any in March. There's no scheduled preventative maintenance for HVAC this month because that is a bi-monthly contract, it was done last month and everything was good to go on it. The same thing with our indoor pest control, again, it's a bi-monthly contract so there's nothing for this month, we'll see them back again in March, and then the bi-weekly pest control through Tropical

Plants, that's still pending for this month. Moving into hospitality, it's been pretty quiet on my front just because we're obviously closed but, I have been working behind the scenes already making plans and securing things for when we open back up in March. For food truck night, which is the first event that we're going to have to kick it off, kind of coming back into 2023, and then also making a lot of final details and plans for our Easter extravaganza in April, so lots more exciting details to come on that. For the work order part, that's what I had mentioned as far as the supplemental reports, because we have been closed, and a lot of things have really just been focused on the renovation, it's a pretty lean report for now but, you'll see that pick back up next month as well. Moving down or actually before there, it was added in as our additional item, we did have that furniture inventory there, and this is essentially a full breakdown of all of the items that, once we were done with the renovations, these are the items that were being donated, so we worked closely with Juliana to make sure things were inventoried and they were documented, and then we have photos of all of those as well.
Ms. Duque: Right, so we have all of the inventory, and I will need the Board to provide me at this moment with a motion to declare all of that property as surplus property so that we are following our rules, so we need a motion for that matter.

On MOTION by Ms. Calero seconded by Ms. Varela­ Medina with all in favor, declaring surplus property of the inventory furniture was approved.

----'---'-------------

Ms. Henning: So, moving past that, down 6 or 7 pages, as far as the other clubhouse items that we have here, I did want to bring up one final item as far as interior decor for the clubhouse. I know we had discussed back and forth but, hadn't made any specific decisions as far as what we were going to do for any type of window treatments. During the loading of all the furniture last week I worked with Rooms To Go, did some extensive discussions back and forth as far as what they recommended, and ultimately their main recommendation especially out in the lobby area was that with the very clean modern look that we're going for they said everything that they saw, we really should kind of stay away from doing large window treatments out there, that it would detract from the overall look and feel that we're going for.  It would kind of add excess that we don't

specifically want in there. So, that was their recommendation, and of course it's up to the Board to determine whether they do want to move forward or not. I have a quote here from Reef Window Treatments for different options for drapery that's out in that area. Upon discussing with them as far as, for example the grand room space and then also the gym space, this area here, and just to give you an idea, obviously, we have a lot of private events in this space. So, talking with them, and also kind of discussing it with staff and things like that, the general consensus is that it would be good to have at least the 3 windows covered in here. For example, if you have an elegant baby shower in here on the weekend, and you have a bunch of people running by in bathing suits outside, it may not necessarily look really awesome for those who are in here trying to have a private event. Also, if people are peering in because you can see in from the outside, so it would definitely be my recommendation at the very least to put some kind of blinds in here, something very similar to like what we had before. They're extremely durable, they're easy to clean if we need to dust, or fix if they happen to get damaged. Then also, the other recommendation would be in the gym as well, keep in mind that late at night, things like that, you have people that are working out in there, it can be seen from outside. Also, we have a lot of windows on the west side, and so when that sun is going down on that side of the gym, that sun can be almost blinding. So, it would just be a recommendation to also move forward with a light blind that we had. Again, moving from brown to basically a white shade in there, and then not really do anything else as far as window treatments, so I'm open to some feedback or thoughts from the Board.
Ms. Duque: Do you already have like a price for those areas, Monica?
Ms. Henning: I do, with Reef Window Treatments here, we have basically the exact same faux wood blinds that we had, there is one correction though, they have 15 listed here, but we actually need 16, the club office was left off of here. So, it would be a total of 16. They're all the same size so they would be priced at $179 each, and we would be looking at a total of $2,864 to go ahead and replace all 16 sets. When I say all 16 sets, that would also be to cover the sets that are located currently in the HOA offices, and also the storage rooms because you can see them from the outside, and it would be very noticeable that half of our clubhouse has brown shades, and the other half has white shades across the front. So, just for a uniform look we should probably include those last 4, and that's what brings it to a total of 16.

Ms. Duque: Got it.
Mr. Pelaez: So, if I remember correctly, Monica, when we had started, we had gotten this quote to kind of mimick what we had with all the drapery and the rods, and all that good stuff, right?
Ms. Henning: Absolutely, yes.
Mr. Pelaez: So, then this was kind of on hold because you were really waiting for the furniture to come in to really see how it looked and see what we needed.
Ms. Duque: Yes.
Mr. Pelaez: So, this one is a no, and the new one is the 16 that we talked about in the $2,800 to $3,000 price range.
Ms. Henning: Yes.
Ms. Varela-Medina: So, this is the old one?
Mr. Pelaez: Yes, that's an old one, and we're going to do exactly what we had before, that would be that one, and if not, then we're not moving forward with that one, we're just doing those 16 windows.
Ms. Henning: What we would be able to do is I can go back to Reef and have them completely strip this of everything else on here that we don't want, only leaving the 16 sets of blinds that we would want, and we can have them in white throughout. Speaking with John and Carlos who were here to do all of the placement and everything for this to go, they recommended for this space to try to see if we could go with more of a sand color, just because it would tie in really well to all of the decor that we now have placed in here, and in the worst case scenario if we cannot, white blinds would be fine.
Ms. Varela-Medina: And they're solid, right?
Ms. Henning: Yes, they would be the solid ones, they would be pretty much the exact same design and look as the ones we had before that were dark brown, it would just lighten it up in here since they'd be the sand color.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Ms. Duque: So, right now as presented by Monica for the 16 blinds it would be a total of $2,864. Would the Board like to move forward with this?
Ms. Varela-Medina: Yes.
Ms. Duque: Ok, so Monica, can you please ask for them to review it so that way you can provide me with the proper estimate?

Ms. Henning: Yes, absolutely.
Ms. Duque: Do you think this amount will change, should we do a not to exceed amount, or this exact amount? What do you think?
Ms. Henning:	I think we could do a not to exceed of $3,000 just in case there
would be any change but, I don't anticipate specifically that there would be.
Ms. Duque: Ok, because if you want to change those to the same color, I don't know if the price is going to be different.
Ms. Henning: Right, it might increase a tiny bit, yes.
Mr. Pelaez: I think $3,000 is good if you continue to work with them, and just say listen, if you can't do it for that price, thank you, and we'll find someone else, and then you can just start playing that game, and just check the warranty.
Ms. Henning: Ok.
Ms. Duque: Agreed, so I think I have a motion made by Mauricio, correct? Mr. Pelaez: Yes.

On MOTION by Mr. Pelaez seconded by Ms. Varela­ Medina with all in favor, accepting the window treatment proposal from Reef Window Treatments not to exceed
$3,000 was approved.

Ms. Henning: Perfect, thank you.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Monica.
Ms. Henning: Then just one last thing, Keslee had something that she wanted to bring up to the Board for discussion.
Ms. Desulme: Yes, so the next thing we're going to need for the pool renovation is
we need to replace the covers for the chairs that are by the pool, and it's two of them, one at each end of the big pool, and we also have one at the jacuzzi. So, those we are replacing them almost every year because of the weather, they fade quite rapidly, and I was thinking, I see sometimes they spray Scotchgard on them to protect outside furniture and things like that, so I was thinking that would be a great thing to try it on those to see if it will protect them from the weather, and things like that around here. Now, I was looking at it and the price is quite good, and I was reading on the website that most of the time it says about 3 to 6 months, so it's something we can also do here as a preventative

maintenance kind of thing and keep going back to it, maybe every 2 months or so and just spray them again, and the price is about $34 for the package of 4 which would be for all 3 of them. Then also, we need to replace the ones we have now so I was looking at that, and I just added that one also in there, and it's going to be the same ones we were using before because those are the only ones the company has for those chairs.
Ms. Duque: Ok, that makes sense, I think it's a great plan.
Ms. Varela-Medina: So, you're going to try the Scotchgard and see if it works? Ms. Desulme: Yes, we're going to try the Scotchgard, and one thing we have is,
and I was looking to see how we are going to be able to see if it's working or not, so there's a little bit on the side we can just turn it around underneath so we can just see in the first 2 or 3 months and see if the color is changing, just to see if it's working or not, so we can continue or not. It's just something we can try at least for the first couple of months to see if it's working, and then we can continue with that or not.
Ms. Varela-Medina: I'm ok with that.
Ms. Duque: Ok, so I will need a motion to approve the estimate presented in the amount of $573.84.

On MOTION by Ms. Varela-Medina seconded by Ms. Calero with all in favor, accepting the proposal for covering and applying Scotchgard on three pool chairs not to exceed
$573.84 was approved.

Ms. Henning: And that's all we have for the clubhouse.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Monica, and thank you so much, Keslee. Let's move forward to the field manager report, Jesus.
Mr. Lorenzo: Good evening, everyone.
Ms. Duque: No, I'm sorry, before we move forward Jesus, there is a discussion of the increase with Delta Five Security. So, I was approached by Delta Five Security, well actually the way this took place is an invoice was sent to Monica, it was an invoice with an increase. Monica forwarded me the invoice, and as soon as I saw it, I was kind of surprised because I saw the increase and it didn't make any sense. I was not copied on the email either, so I know that's something that caught Monica's attention as well. When looking at the invoice I noticed the clubhouse security services had an increase, I wasn't

sure about the reason for it, so I reached out to Juan from Delta Five. Then Juan approached me and let me know that they've been, I would say, losing money for over a year because when they increased, or they presented a proposal for the increase, they included the services throughout the entire security services that we have, meaning the clubhouse and the field but, in reality, the only increase on their invoices was the services for the field. The clubhouse stayed at the same amount on the invoices they were sending. They've been sending that for a year, so Juan's point is, they're losing money right now, they would like to present this to the Board, and request that increase. I will say to the Board that when it was presented to my attention, it was presented as, oh we had discussed this already, the increase, it's just that we forgot to include it, which is not true. We have an amendment to the contract, and in that amendment to the contract we actually approved 448 hours per week, and it's the unarmed security officers, and we have 3 patrol vehicles, and we removed one shift. So, you might recall that we removed one shift to be able to increase that burden, and for them to be able to pay those officers more money. The current agreement we have is in the amount of $521,820. Now, they are requesting an increase from the 88 hours per week at the clubhouse, and the proposed annual budget right now, we have it at $64,680, and they would like to bring it up to $91,245, so that is actually $26,565 more per year, and that represents $2,213.75 per month. This is money that the District does not have, we do not have that additional money to cover that increase. As you know, we are working on a lot of projects within the clubhouse, and we try to save money for those projects to be able to complete this project. We are going to be talking about the budget during our next meeting, at the March meeting we're going to be proposing the budget, and we're going to start talking about the budget, so perhaps that's the time for the Board to make any changes if you believe that's the right direction but, at this point, I will need the Board to let me know how you would like to proceed.
Mr. Pelaez:  I think we had a few meetings about this, we had this budgeted
amount, and we went round-and-round on how they were going to make changes, and we were going to remove a car, and they came back with, well we could reduce here, we can still give the guards the raises, we will have a car for this time, and they were super excited because they made it work, and we were excited because it all kind of fit to what we needed for security within the budget. I don't think that we can approve this amount

right now, I think we need to meet with them again and talk about it before the next budget time comes through but, for right now I don't think we can approve this because we already went through this. So, they should have caught this or discovered it when they were doing their analysis and bringing us this information, now we're not going to pay for it because they made a mistake. So, I'd like to have a meeting with them and talk about some of this stuff and see which direction we're going to head because we can't continue every year going through these changes, and then now we need an increase for the guards, and we're in the middle of budget season, and now we have to talk about this because we talked about it in the middle last time, and we made it work within the numbers but, we're going round-and-round with the security every year, the other vendors it's easy, but we can't with this one.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Have we ever had another security company?
Ms. Duque: No, since the clubhouse, and I would say the community was built by Lennar, Delta Five has been here.
Ms. Varela-Medina: It was always Delta Five?
Ms. Duque: I don't know if back in 2012 or 2011 it was.
Mr. Pelaez: When they were building it, they had their little cart but, besides that, that was it, not an official company.
Ms. Duque: The official security, like they've been here since construction, so I know they've been there. We tried Julie, we did our due diligence, you might recall this when they requested the first increase, and the amount, in terms of comparing it with
.other companies, it was incredibly low.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Mr. Pelaez: And we're understanding, we always talk about the different vendors, and if they need increases, and why, and analyzing that, it's just that we're in the middle, we just had this, and we're in the middle of this budget.
Ms. Varela-Medina: And when did we have that we traded one-night car in, that was like 6 months ago?
Ms. Duque: More or less, like 7 months ago, I can look at the agreement, let me tell you exactly when the agreement was executed.
Ms. Varela-Medina: I remember when we decided to get rid of one of the cars. Ms. Pelaez: Yes.

Ms. Varela-Medina: Then they're stating that this was talked about before?
Ms. Duque: No, but I actually took my time Julie, to go back to those recordings, and it was actually February 1, 2022, a year ago. So, February 1, 2022, was when we executed the second amendment to the agreement.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Ms. Pelaez: And we talked about it as a whole, as the full amount per year, what everything was that was being spent, we didn't talk about in particular to which guard was getting what, just as a whole, and that way they could increase their guards altogether.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Yes, so if we're not able to then, we need to have a discussion with them again and tell them that.
Ms. Duque: Zuzer is agreeing as well.
Ms. Calero: Yes, I agree, the hourly rate is really low but, we're in the middle of a budget so I don't know that we can make a change at this point in time.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Not for $20,000 anyway.
Ms. Duque: Ok, so I think the direction from the Board is for Mauricio and myself to meet with Delta Five, discuss this, and I'll bring this back to our March meeting which we're going to be discussing our budget as well.

D. Field Manager - Monthly Report
1) Monthly Report
Ms. Duque: Ok, let's move forward to the field manager, now you're up Jesus.
Mr. Lorenzo: Yes, so the landscaping is pretty self-explanatory, and you see the pictures of the wet check in the common areas, the wet check report, and the repairs were completed. Some soil was added to a unit because there was a little bit of a hole, a tree removal, actually two tree removals, and the annuals they're looking good but, the season is coming up for another change in April, so we're in communication with BrightView regarding the coleus to change them. The colors, I don't think we specified yet but just to have that already being discussed. The fertilization, you'll see the report there, and there was an email received earlier this month from Tropical Plant and Pest Services regarding the mosaic virus at the park, they were suggesting a $700 fertilization just to kind of see what happens with the grass.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Was that the part where the grass was taken out and new grass was put in?

Mr. Lorenzo: Yes, and it's looking alright considering the time of year. Once the rainy season comes the symptoms will be less visible, so I don't know that this is necessary but just a suggestion.
Ms. Duque:  And I don't think it is, remember that the Board terminated the
agreement with them, and we're moving forward with BrightView, there were some pending items that were completed in terms of treatment, and we wanted to make sure those were completed before we sent the termination letter. It seems that all of those pending items were already completed as per the last communication from Jonathan, so I don't recommend moving forward with this. They're going to receive the termination letter, and we're moving forward with BrightView, which is the direction that was already provided by the Board.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Mr. Lorenzo: The lakes are looking good, the only thing is the water was low as you can see, which is normal for this time of year. The playgrounds are good, and you'll see a repair from one of the drains, or the valley gutters that was completed by Chic already earlier this month. The only other things pending were, which we already discussed which were the sidewalks, which we're going to get to, and then the monuments once he finishes the clubhouse.
Mr. Pelaez: Which I know we've already approved. Ms. Duque: That's correct.
Mr. Lorenzo: Yes, it's already been approved, it's just getting it scheduled. Mr. Pelaez: Ok.
Mr. Lorenzo: And that's why I was making the statement when he was here regarding the sidewalks just to take care of the tripping hazards before we even address the monuments, the monuments are more aesthetic than safety. There was a new account opened with FPL for the west mailbox area, which should be working now, the lights were turned off because the account was still under Lennar, so that's already been changed, and between the course of last month and this month 9 new pet station dispensers were ordered, so at least the District has new dispensers. Half of them were an older style or a different style of bags, we've converted them all to the rolls, and that's done.
Ms. Duque: Because they were taking the entire group of bags.

Mr. Lorenzo: Right because the other one was, the way you would take it, it's kind of like vertical and they would just take a bunch, so now they have to roll each one out, and take it out.
Ms. Varela-Medina: I have a question, there's palm trees in front of our house, between the streets, it's in the middle, and the bark is completely black.
Ms. Duque: Wait, say that again, I'm sorry.
Ms. Varela-Medina: You know in front of our house, there's the two-lane street, and then there's a little divider, the palm trees are on the other side.
Ms. Duque: So, the median. Ms. Varela-Medina: Yes.
Ms. Duque: Ok.
Mr. Lorenzo: And they look like this? Is this what you mean? Ms. Varela-Medina: Kind of but, they're really black.
Mr. Lorenzo: Like when we discussed with Nick on our drive.
Mr. Varela-Medina: And only the really thick ones, not the skinner ones, the really big ones, they are completely black.
Ms. Duque: Ok, so that's normal Julie, it happens to the trunk of the palms. Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Ms. Duque: It has to do with weather and also the nutrients, it's a combination.
know the conversations that had taken place with Nick because they actually started on our palms, at SW 112th. They're treating them, if it needs to be treated, they are let's say, kind of looking to see if it is progressive or not, remember, the big issue here was that one company was providing the treatment, and the other one is providing the services. So, it's kind of up in the air, I think it needs more nutrients or it has to do with the weather, it's been raining, etc., so it's been that back and forth, but the palms themselves, they're not compromised.
Ms. Varela-Medina: But there is some fungus stuff, there's some whitish or grayish stuff on the palm.
Ms. Duque: Yes, it is a fungus. Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok.
Ms. Duque: But it's normal on the palm.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Only the big ones, the little ones are good.

Ms. Duque: Right, the older ones are the ones that will get that more often than the younger ones.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Ok, thank you.
Ms. Calero: I have a question about the lakes, and you know what I'm going to talk about. So, the lakes, are they private, do they belong to us, please educate me on that because I have a lake in my backyard, and I've got people killing and taking ducks, I've got people fishing out turtles, and I've got all this madness going on, and my kids all have PTSD, they look out the window and somebody is yanking a duck, and I just say close the shutter. So, I don't know what we can or cannot do, and Jennifer is probably going crazy because I'm always calling her and sending her photos but, it's not something you want to see when you have a nice lake, and you want to have all your windows open, and I don't want to see what's going on across the lake, and I don't even know if these people live here, I'm presuming they're not local because they wouldn't be doing it.
Ms. Duque: So, Zuzer, the lakes are owned by the District, and the lakes within our community are actually part of your drainage system, so it's not a lake per se. The responsible party is the District, all of the lakes have signs, there is no fishing, no boating, none of that is allowed, and they all have signs. If you will send that information to our attention because that's the only way we can tackle those issues. They're public property, so you cannot prevent someone from walking there, you cannot prevent someone just sitting there and stirring up the water because they are public property, even if the person doesn't live in the community.
Ms. Calero: And that's fine.
Ms. Duque: Right, that's fine but, like what you just stated, like fishing, or doing what they're doing to the other animals, that's a big no-no, we can contact the police, and the only thing they need is our authorization for them to be in the area and then proceed accordingly but, we do have signs that state no to everything you just described.
Ms. Calero: And the lake that I'm referring does have a sign for alligators, something about alligators.
Ms. Duque: It also says, do not feed the alligators.
Ms. Calero: But I do not see anything else that says no fishing, or whatever else, it's just that I see it, and I saw our lakes before, and I know it sounds silly but, all these

turtles used to pop their heads out, now I look and there's nothing, and I see people taking bags, and it's the same couple that keeps coming.
Ms. Varela-Medina: Have you called 911?
Ms. Calero: Well, the thing is that by the time the cops get there, or the security gets there, they're gone, or they'll see the security and they'll pack up and they leave because they've done this before, it's the same people. They'll just grab their stuff, and head out, and they say, oh no, we're leaving, ok bye and of course, the security can't say to them, open your trunk, what are you doing. So, you call them and by the time anyone gets there, it's like forget it, so I've kind of given up but, the other day this other family came, and they just started yanking on ducks, and twisting their heads, and I'm saying what in the world is going on.
Ms. Duque: Well, Zuzer, let us know, we're just one phone call away, so please when this type of situation happens let us know. I have not received anything from Jennifer, so I haven't been notified of anything going on in the lakes.
Ms. Calero: And her and I kind of communicate but, by the time anybody gets there that can actually document it, they're gone.
Ms. Duque: But what we could do is like, if you have seen them on certain days, or a certain time of the day, we can send Delta Five, we have a security officer, we can send Delta Five to be on the lookout as well, take more of a proactive approach than a reactive approach, and see what can be done. Sometimes they are like residents within your community, so maybe it's someone that we could approach, so if you could let us know.
Mr. Lorenzo: And usually when I do my rounds I pass by that park and take a look over there.
Mr. Pelaez: But again, it could be that they're out there for 30 minutes and that's it, it could be a Sunday or a Saturday, it could be anytime.
Ms. Calero: Well, that's the thing, they usually come during the week when people are not home and the only reason I know this is because my mother is home and she is calling me and telling me, and then there's like a little hill, and then it goes down, so they sit all the way at the bottom where no one can see them, so I called Delta Five, and they run around and they don't see them because they're all the way at the bottom, and then the water is so shallow this time of year that they just kind of sit there and they fish and

the turtles don't know. Then you see him, and he steps on them, he has like a technique, he grabs them and puts them in some sort of bag and takes them. I'm sorry I feel so bad for the animals but, I'll send you an email.
Ms. Duque: Ok, thank you.
Ms. Calero: So now if you go by, you're going to see there's a goose, someone came, a family came and just threw a goose in the lake, so if anybody hears that noise, because that lake, it echoes, and in the middle of the night that goose goes on and on but, now my mom is in love with him, but it's like everybody comes and dumps things in there.
Ms. Duque: So, we'll take care of that, Zuzer, thank you for letting us know.
Mr. Lorenzo: Are there any questions for me, or anything else? Ms. Calero: No.
Ms. Duque: Thank you so much, Jesus.
