WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.305 --> 00:00:01.525
At this time, I'd like to call

2
00:00:01.525 --> 00:00:04.605
to order the November meeting of CDD number nine.

3
00:00:05.785 --> 00:00:07.205
Uh, roll call shows

4
00:00:07.205 --> 00:00:09.565
that we have a hundred percent attendance from the board.

5
00:00:10.665 --> 00:00:12.725
And at this point, I'd like to stand for the pledge,

6
00:00:20.305 --> 00:00:21.565
United States of America.

00:00:24.195 --> 00:00:29.085

00:00:31.225 --> 00:00:32.525
You could please remain standing.

10
00:00:33.365 --> 00:00:37.005
Although a couple days late, I would still like the honor

11
00:00:37.065 --> 00:00:39.125
of moment of silence to all

12
00:00:39.125 --> 00:00:42.805
of our active duty military investors and honor veterans.

13
00:00:43.495 --> 00:00:44.885
Thank you all for your service.

14
00:00:55.055 --> 00:00:55.405
Thank

15
00:01:05.145 --> 00:01:06.845
At this time, I'd like to welcome those

16
00:01:06.845 --> 00:01:08.445
of you in our audience today.

17
00:01:09.505 --> 00:01:11.205
Uh, thank you for taking the time to come.

18
00:01:11.675 --> 00:01:13.885
Does anyone in the audience have any comments

19
00:01:13.905 --> 00:01:15.325
they'd like to make at this time?

20
00:01:25.515 --> 00:01:28.165
Good afternoon board. My name is Cliff Weiner.

21
00:01:28.485 --> 00:01:30.445
I live on Duvet Lane in the village of Piedmont.

22
00:01:30.445 --> 00:01:32.445
I am the District four supervisor,

23
00:01:33.025 --> 00:01:35.205
and I am the supervisor that is trying

24
00:01:35.205 --> 00:01:37.525
to resurrect the multimodal path.

25
00:01:37.525 --> 00:01:39.325
Discussion group. Four

26
00:01:39.325 --> 00:01:42.365
or five months ago, there was a, a resolution

27
00:01:42.515 --> 00:01:44.885
that was put out to the district's.

28
00:01:44.905 --> 00:01:46.405
1, 2, 3, 4, A, a C,

29
00:01:46.405 --> 00:01:49.045
and PA pwac turned it down

30
00:01:49.305 --> 00:01:51.445
so the resolution never got approved.

31
00:01:52.665 --> 00:01:53.925
I'm back before you today

32
00:01:53.945 --> 00:01:57.205
to ask you if you're would consider being

33
00:01:57.205 --> 00:01:58.325
interested in joining.

34
00:01:58.785 --> 00:02:01.085
If you are, you need the resolution brought back

35
00:02:01.085 --> 00:02:02.245
to you at your next meeting.

36
00:02:03.105 --> 00:02:07.125
So far, a a c districts 1, 2, 4, 7, 12,

37
00:02:07.185 --> 00:02:10.365
and 13 have agreed to be part of the

38
00:02:10.935 --> 00:02:12.565
multimodal path discussion group.

39
00:02:13.595 --> 00:02:15.285
Your input is really important.

40
00:02:16.085 --> 00:02:19.845
I know at our last meeting, which Dan was at,

41
00:02:20.665 --> 00:02:22.845
we had about 50 or 60 people there.

42
00:02:24.185 --> 00:02:25.765
The two meetings we've had so far,

43
00:02:26.215 --> 00:02:27.805
we've had at least 60 people.

44
00:02:28.465 --> 00:02:31.325
So there, it, there's interest from residents.

45
00:02:32.145 --> 00:02:34.045
Safety seems to be the big concern.

46
00:02:35.425 --> 00:02:38.925
So I'm asking you to consider helping us and join

47
00:02:39.745 --> 00:02:41.725
and ask staff to bring it back.

48
00:02:42.185 --> 00:02:44.645
If you have any questions, I'm sure Brittany can answer 'em.

49
00:02:45.185 --> 00:02:47.485
Uh, our next meeting is scheduled

50
00:02:47.545 --> 00:02:50.965
for January 21st at two o'clock at Savannah

51
00:02:50.965 --> 00:02:52.485
Center. Thank you for your time.

52
00:02:52.935 --> 00:02:54.045
Thank you. Thank you.

53
00:02:57.145 --> 00:02:59.885
Any other feedback? Comments? Comments from the audience?

54
00:03:00.945 --> 00:03:01.925
Mr. Chairman? Are we gonna

55
00:03:01.925 --> 00:03:03.085
do anything with that right now?

56
00:03:05.275 --> 00:03:08.165
Well, how's the board feel? Thank you.

57
00:03:08.505 --> 00:03:10.285
You can sit down momentarily.

58
00:03:10.985 --> 00:03:13.885
Any feedback, uh, on the message

59
00:03:13.885 --> 00:03:15.005
that we just received there?

60
00:03:15.955 --> 00:03:19.525
Yeah. My position was never a popular one on this board,

61
00:03:19.545 --> 00:03:22.165
but it was to, uh, keep after this.

62
00:03:22.785 --> 00:03:26.605
In looking at the safety of it, some people thought, well,

63
00:03:26.635 --> 00:03:27.845
it's, it's safe or not.

64
00:03:29.365 --> 00:03:31.765
I think we could do better. I, I would have interest,

65
00:03:31.765 --> 00:03:33.605
I don't know whether the board feels about that.

66
00:03:35.905 --> 00:03:38.765
Is there enough interest to put it on the January agenda?

67
00:03:40.065 --> 00:03:43.405
Are there new issues that what weren't discussed previously?

68
00:03:43.485 --> 00:03:45.765
I mean, because we, we spent a lot of time, or

69
00:03:46.585 --> 00:03:47.585
It is been a while. Yeah.

70
00:03:47.585 --> 00:03:48.845
Yeah. I don't know if we have,

71
00:03:49.365 --> 00:03:51.085
I don't know if we have any new data.

72
00:03:51.265 --> 00:03:52.805
We looked for data. Yeah.

73
00:03:52.805 --> 00:03:54.205
I didn't know if we were gonna just re

74
00:03:54.805 --> 00:03:56.005
plow the same ground again

75
00:03:56.105 --> 00:03:57.685
and, you know, if there's new issues

76
00:03:57.865 --> 00:03:59.725
or somebody's got some new ideas,

77
00:03:59.945 --> 00:04:02.725
but we're just gonna go back and re plow the same ground.

78
00:04:03.285 --> 00:04:04.885
I just might to help you. Yeah.

79
00:04:04.945 --> 00:04:08.005
At our last meeting, it was requested of the people

80
00:04:08.005 --> 00:04:09.485
that were there, that we tried

81
00:04:09.485 --> 00:04:12.885
to seek some data from the Public Safety Department

82
00:04:13.025 --> 00:04:15.765
and Sumter County Sheriff's Office, which I am doing.

83
00:04:15.785 --> 00:04:18.485
And hopefully we will have that by our January meeting.

84
00:04:18.985 --> 00:04:21.525
As you know, the sheriff's department

85
00:04:23.285 --> 00:04:24.605
computers had a little issue,

86
00:04:25.025 --> 00:04:26.765
so they're a little slow in trying to get

87
00:04:26.765 --> 00:04:27.845
that information together.

88
00:04:28.265 --> 00:04:31.125
But the last time I talked to, uh, captain Seamer,

89
00:04:31.505 --> 00:04:33.605
he assured me he would have it before January.

90
00:04:34.065 --> 00:04:35.205
So that would help.

91
00:04:35.425 --> 00:04:38.205
And that would be a big issue as to what the issues were

92
00:04:38.665 --> 00:04:41.445
and how many things and incidents they had.

93
00:04:41.825 --> 00:04:43.245
And also from the public safety

94
00:04:43.245 --> 00:04:44.685
department, just throwing it out there.

95
00:04:44.685 --> 00:04:46.525
So it might make it a little bit easier for you guys.

96
00:04:47.465 --> 00:04:52.405
Uh, uh, cliff, what was that date and time again?

97
00:04:52.595 --> 00:04:56.645
January 20th, J January 21st, 2:00 PM Savannah Center.

98
00:04:59.815 --> 00:05:02.485
Thank you. I know at the, at the meeting there was, uh,

99
00:05:02.945 --> 00:05:07.405
uh, some people, one lady that was, Had trouble

100
00:05:08.155 --> 00:05:10.845
understanding, but I think she was run over

101
00:05:10.865 --> 00:05:12.405
by a golf cart on the path.

102
00:05:12.705 --> 00:05:14.085
And there's some issues like that.

103
00:05:14.085 --> 00:05:15.845
Some other people that have had near misses,

104
00:05:15.845 --> 00:05:17.085
bicyclists, et cetera.

105
00:05:17.465 --> 00:05:19.085
Uh, so there is, uh,

106
00:05:19.105 --> 00:05:20.685
before the multimodal path,

107
00:05:20.745 --> 00:05:23.445
as I remember all those years ago, it was whether

108
00:05:23.445 --> 00:05:24.645
to put strikes down or not.

109
00:05:24.745 --> 00:05:27.405
And that was the main reason for the multimodal path.

110
00:05:27.885 --> 00:05:29.765
I think the citizens now are looking at

111
00:05:29.865 --> 00:05:33.645
how we can increase safety on the path that's a wide,

112
00:05:33.785 --> 00:05:34.925
uh, uh, system there.

113
00:05:34.925 --> 00:05:36.725
And without data, it's hard to say,

114
00:05:37.585 --> 00:05:39.245
or do we need to look at it or not.

115
00:05:39.305 --> 00:05:42.805
But I, I think I will, I will be assuming I'm here

116
00:05:43.585 --> 00:05:47.045
on the 21st, I will attend that meeting as the board rep.

117
00:05:48.445 --> 00:05:50.045
I think that would be good to attend the meeting

118
00:05:50.045 --> 00:05:51.325
and see what happens at that time,

119
00:05:51.385 --> 00:05:52.885
and then we can proceed from there.

120
00:05:53.485 --> 00:05:56.325
I mean, my personal experience as a biker, I,

121
00:05:56.395 --> 00:05:57.605
I've run into the issue

122
00:05:57.625 --> 00:06:00.045
of walkers going in the wrong direction.

123
00:06:00.745 --> 00:06:03.685
And then some of these divided sections, you get

124
00:06:03.685 --> 00:06:06.365
behind a walker going the same direction as the biker

125
00:06:06.365 --> 00:06:08.975
and it, you know, and then there's a golf cart

126
00:06:09.035 --> 00:06:11.575
and next thing you know, there's it's opportunity

127
00:06:11.635 --> 00:06:13.175
for a problem.

128
00:06:13.875 --> 00:06:15.655
But a lot of it's just, I dunno if it's lack

129
00:06:15.655 --> 00:06:18.295
of understanding of what side of the road they should,

130
00:06:21.585 --> 00:06:24.535
There was a lot of issues that I, I think

131
00:06:24.535 --> 00:06:26.015
that people don't remember the lessons

132
00:06:26.085 --> 00:06:27.895
they were taught in first grade. Yeah.

133
00:06:27.895 --> 00:06:31.975
Right, right. So we'll suggest

134
00:06:32.065 --> 00:06:35.175
after the January meeting to, uh, review it as a board

135
00:06:35.175 --> 00:06:37.655
and decide where to go from there. Okay.

136
00:06:37.995 --> 00:06:39.495
And Mr. Chairman, um,

137
00:06:39.675 --> 00:06:42.575
we can circulate out the resolution if you'd like

138
00:06:42.575 --> 00:06:44.575
to take a look at that by email prior

139
00:06:44.575 --> 00:06:46.175
to it being placed on an agenda.

140
00:06:46.795 --> 00:06:48.655
Um, but as, uh, Mr.

141
00:06:48.755 --> 00:06:51.575
Weiner stated, it was really at the request of staff

142
00:06:51.575 --> 00:06:53.615
that he attend the meetings to determine whether

143
00:06:53.615 --> 00:06:55.375
or not you want it placed on your agenda.

144
00:06:55.835 --> 00:06:59.375
Um, but also from staff's perspective, if the group is going

145
00:06:59.375 --> 00:07:02.015
to continue to meet, to give it some structure

146
00:07:02.235 --> 00:07:04.775
for sunshine law purposes, meeting notices,

147
00:07:06.075 --> 00:07:07.175
ads, things of that nature.

148
00:07:07.595 --> 00:07:09.375
Um, so that's just something to consider

149
00:07:09.445 --> 00:07:11.375
that if you wanna continue participation

150
00:07:11.595 --> 00:07:14.495
to look at the resolution from a structural standpoint.

151
00:07:15.345 --> 00:07:18.375
Could you bring that January meeting or

152
00:07:18.375 --> 00:07:19.495
before the January meeting?

153
00:07:20.235 --> 00:07:22.935
Yes, we can place it on the next agenda if you'd like to.

154
00:07:23.355 --> 00:07:25.415
And it, it will be up to the board to take action on it,

155
00:07:25.415 --> 00:07:26.855
but if you'd like to review it on the

156
00:07:26.855 --> 00:07:28.095
agenda, we'll include it.

157
00:07:29.535 --> 00:07:31.495
Brittany could, uh, we also gather

158
00:07:31.555 --> 00:07:35.535
and publish the concerns so far from the other districts

159
00:07:35.535 --> 00:07:36.895
so we don't overlook something

160
00:07:39.005 --> 00:07:40.135
When you say other concerns,

161
00:07:41.115 --> 00:07:43.215
The minutes of the last Oh,

162
00:07:43.995 --> 00:07:45.455
Yes, yes. We'll do that as, as

163
00:07:45.455 --> 00:07:46.455
Well. Thank you.

164
00:07:46.455 --> 00:07:46.705

165
00:07:47.555 --> 00:07:49.975
The other comments in the audience

166
00:07:52.775 --> 00:07:55.215
question your name and address, please?

167
00:08:01.075 --> 00:08:02.855
Uh, yes. My name is Herb Schumaker.

168
00:08:03.635 --> 00:08:06.815
Uh, I live in the, uh, village of Gilchrist.

169
00:08:07.195 --> 00:08:10.335
I'm on the, uh, seventh hole of Evans Prairie,

170
00:08:10.755 --> 00:08:12.575
the Kil Deer nine. Your address,

171
00:08:12.575 --> 00:08:13.575
Please. 1504

172
00:08:13.575 --> 00:08:16.335
Rest Haven Way.

173
00:08:17.355 --> 00:08:20.895
Uh, it's on the seventh hole of, uh,

174
00:08:21.475 --> 00:08:22.815
the Kil Deer Golf Course.

175
00:08:24.965 --> 00:08:27.655
Well, uh, it seems like

176
00:08:28.845 --> 00:08:33.615
it's becoming a common dumping site that the water

177
00:08:34.155 --> 00:08:37.415
is being dumped on Evans Prairie,

178
00:08:39.355 --> 00:08:42.255
uh, almost for the last month.

179
00:08:43.675 --> 00:08:46.935
Uh, I'd like an explanation of why

180
00:08:47.675 --> 00:08:52.455
do the people on Evans Prairie have any, uh, uh, rights.

181
00:08:53.735 --> 00:08:57.125
I paid, uh, some dear money for a view lot

182
00:08:58.535 --> 00:09:01.505
back in 2012, for example,

183
00:09:02.715 --> 00:09:07.345
there were 14 trees on this lot that were in this backdrop,

184
00:09:08.685 --> 00:09:11.945
and I'm sure that that was priced into the, uh, price

185
00:09:12.125 --> 00:09:13.625
of the lot.

186
00:09:14.575 --> 00:09:16.745
Currently, there are six left

187
00:09:17.125 --> 00:09:21.985
and four of them are Century Oaks that are standing in water

188
00:09:23.495 --> 00:09:26.945
through the, uh, past years on Evans Prairie,

189
00:09:28.355 --> 00:09:32.465
especially on the Egret nine, uh,

190
00:09:33.125 --> 00:09:34.945
or on the other two nines,

191
00:09:35.675 --> 00:09:40.425
there have been no less than three dozen century oak trees

192
00:09:40.775 --> 00:09:44.185
that have been drowned, cut down

193
00:09:44.805 --> 00:09:46.305
and just going away with.

194
00:09:47.085 --> 00:09:51.985
And then on top of that, there's been nothing

195
00:09:52.525 --> 00:09:56.385
put in or nearby to replace that.

196
00:09:57.365 --> 00:10:00.905
And this is why I'm wondering all the people

197
00:10:00.905 --> 00:10:04.705
that live on Evans Prairie, uh, do they have a voice?

198
00:10:05.245 --> 00:10:06.905
Uh, do they get any respect?

199
00:10:08.085 --> 00:10:13.065
All the golf courses have been opened in the villages,

200
00:10:14.365 --> 00:10:15.905
uh, two to three weeks ago

201
00:10:17.145 --> 00:10:20.965
and up until yesterday, they continue dumping water.

202
00:10:22.665 --> 00:10:26.205
Why are we the ones that are getting all of the abuse?

203
00:10:27.665 --> 00:10:28.845
I'm all about fairness.

204
00:10:29.505 --> 00:10:31.285
If there's water to be distributed,

205
00:10:32.075 --> 00:10:34.005
everybody gets their turn in the barrel

206
00:10:34.145 --> 00:10:35.485
or takes their fair share.

207
00:10:36.605 --> 00:10:40.885
I pay just as much money as anybody else did for a view lot,

208
00:10:41.985 --> 00:10:43.205
and it's being destroyed.

209
00:10:44.325 --> 00:10:45.845
I, I, I would like some answers.

210
00:10:47.005 --> 00:10:51.485
I talked to a person from the, uh, uh,

211
00:10:51.625 --> 00:10:55.965
the village, uh, oh, what the outfit, uh,

212
00:10:55.965 --> 00:10:56.765
named Bob,

213
00:11:02.265 --> 00:11:05.405
uh, the main, uh, Ken Steven. Well, let,

214
00:11:05.505 --> 00:11:06.685
Let me just interject.

215
00:11:07.205 --> 00:11:10.765
I hear your complaint. All the district have nothing to do

216
00:11:10.795 --> 00:11:13.085
with the championship golf course, first of all,

217
00:11:13.085 --> 00:11:16.205
because nothing we as a board can do relative

218
00:11:16.205 --> 00:11:17.365
to championship course.

219
00:11:17.685 --> 00:11:20.325
Secondly, they did just announce that they are opening

220
00:11:20.325 --> 00:11:23.445
that course for play starting next week.

221
00:11:24.025 --> 00:11:26.565
And they have stopped the dumping, which I know was done

222
00:11:26.565 --> 00:11:29.645
because of whether it's water controls

223
00:11:29.645 --> 00:11:31.605
or they're not responsible for it until,

224
00:11:32.465 --> 00:11:34.085
but, uh, they were dumping there.

225
00:11:34.085 --> 00:11:35.805
And I suspect this because it was one

226
00:11:35.805 --> 00:11:37.925
of the lower lying areas, and

227
00:11:37.925 --> 00:11:40.685
therefore, you know, it was the last place to dump.

228
00:11:40.785 --> 00:11:42.845
But we have nothing to say about it.

229
00:11:42.985 --> 00:11:44.525
So you'd have to speak to

230
00:11:44.545 --> 00:11:46.005
who would they have to speak to Brittany?

231
00:11:46.625 --> 00:11:51.045
Yes. Well, luckily district staff will still, um, evaluate

232
00:11:51.045 --> 00:11:54.365
that to determine if it's on the, the golf course, the,

233
00:11:54.365 --> 00:11:56.925
the residential district may not be responsible for it,

234
00:11:56.985 --> 00:11:59.485
but the golf division, um, potentially.

235
00:11:59.505 --> 00:12:01.565
So we will review that and we'll provide an

236
00:12:01.565 --> 00:12:02.885
update, um, to you.

237
00:12:02.985 --> 00:12:05.645
If you can, I can get your contact information

238
00:12:05.705 --> 00:12:09.045
or if, if Mr. Wiley, um, if you wanna speak to him

239
00:12:09.065 --> 00:12:11.405
and provide your contact information, we'll follow up

240
00:12:11.405 --> 00:12:12.685
and get a response for you.

241
00:12:12.995 --> 00:12:17.045
Yeah. Uh, I, I, I just, uh, you know, uh, think it's

242
00:12:17.045 --> 00:12:21.885
so unfair in, in regards to this situation that's going on.

243
00:12:22.545 --> 00:12:25.125
And we did receive a significant amount of rainfall

244
00:12:25.185 --> 00:12:26.605
and there has been extensive efforts

245
00:12:26.745 --> 00:12:29.605
to reduce the water levels throughout the community,

246
00:12:29.625 --> 00:12:32.725
but there are various types of basins and whether

247
00:12:32.725 --> 00:12:33.965
or not they're interconnected

248
00:12:34.425 --> 00:12:36.085
and how they reduce those water levels.

249
00:12:36.225 --> 00:12:38.485
So we'll definitely take a look at that and follow up.

250
00:12:39.505 --> 00:12:41.245
One other thing on that, I read a lot

251
00:12:41.245 --> 00:12:42.685
of residents ask me the same,

252
00:12:42.995 --> 00:12:44.445
similar question about the trees.

253
00:12:44.805 --> 00:12:47.325
'cause a lot of trees have been, you know,

254
00:12:47.435 --> 00:12:49.845
were lost recently with the hurricanes and the water,

255
00:12:50.265 --> 00:12:53.445
and it doesn't seem to be a replacement program going on.

256
00:12:53.835 --> 00:12:55.205
It's not apparent if there is,

257
00:12:55.505 --> 00:12:56.805
but you might address that too.

258
00:12:57.195 --> 00:12:59.525
They are, I actually have updated information

259
00:12:59.595 --> 00:13:03.045
that they are working, um, through issuing those pos, um,

260
00:13:03.105 --> 00:13:04.965
to begin the replacement throughout the community

261
00:13:05.105 --> 00:13:06.485
of, of the trees.

262
00:13:06.515 --> 00:13:08.645
Okay. It would just depend on, um,

263
00:13:08.785 --> 00:13:11.525
and I say that if it's on district property, so I,

264
00:13:11.605 --> 00:13:15.045
I can't speak to like a championship golf course if it's a

265
00:13:15.045 --> 00:13:16.845
private property, but on district

266
00:13:17.045 --> 00:13:18.205
property, we're working through that now.

267
00:13:18.645 --> 00:13:19.645
District property. Yeah. Yes.

268
00:13:19.915 --> 00:13:22.525
Yeah. Yeah. The unfortunate thing is you lose a a hundred

269
00:13:22.555 --> 00:13:25.285
year old tree and they replace it with a new tree.

270
00:13:25.465 --> 00:13:26.685
So, um,

271
00:13:26.745 --> 00:13:29.325
but that's just the way it goes. Can't afford the other,

272
00:13:29.925 --> 00:13:30.965
I don't like those. Yeah.

273
00:13:31.905 --> 00:13:36.245
Um, any other comments? Okay.

274
00:13:36.245 --> 00:13:37.685
And let's proceed with the agenda.

275
00:13:37.785 --> 00:13:40.725
The first item on the agenda is the consent agenda.

276
00:13:41.145 --> 00:13:43.605
Motion to approve the consent agenda is a motion

277
00:13:43.665 --> 00:13:45.605
to approve all recommended actions.

278
00:13:46.105 --> 00:13:48.925
All matters on the consent agenda are considered routine,

279
00:13:49.385 --> 00:13:50.645
no discussions required

280
00:13:50.645 --> 00:13:54.165
unless desired by a board supervisor or a member of the public.

281
00:13:55.985 --> 00:13:59.485
Mr. Chairman, um, that gentleman is coming back

282
00:13:59.545 --> 00:14:02.485
and I think the lady in the corner.

283
00:14:02.785 --> 00:14:07.565
Did you have something or was that okay? I was Okay.

284
00:14:08.345 --> 00:14:10.245
The, uh, uh, thing I wanted to add

285
00:14:10.265 --> 00:14:14.285
before were that I, I, I contacted

286
00:14:15.405 --> 00:14:19.165
property management and Bart Graham

287
00:14:19.905 --> 00:14:23.565
and his underling came out.

288
00:14:25.425 --> 00:14:26.885
He looked at the situation

289
00:14:27.825 --> 00:14:30.845
and, uh, I, I thought the guy was so rude, it was beyond.

290
00:14:31.985 --> 00:14:34.725
And, uh, he said, you know, all these people do

291
00:14:34.725 --> 00:14:35.805
that live on a golf course

292
00:14:35.805 --> 00:14:38.245
because as you complain about too much

293
00:14:38.255 --> 00:14:39.885
water, not enough water.

294
00:14:41.225 --> 00:14:42.645
And, uh, he looked around

295
00:14:42.905 --> 00:14:46.645
and he said, well, you know, he says, uh, he says,

296
00:14:46.645 --> 00:14:49.965
you're just lucky you don't have hauls on your property,

297
00:14:50.545 --> 00:14:52.925
you know, that come out of the swamp or et cetera.

298
00:14:53.625 --> 00:14:56.525
And that was his comment. And, and he walked off.

299
00:14:57.065 --> 00:14:59.045
And I thought it was just so bad.

300
00:14:59.745 --> 00:15:02.205
Uh, and, and just so crude

301
00:15:02.205 --> 00:15:04.405
and rude, that's all I got to say.

302
00:15:05.745 --> 00:15:09.005
And on behalf of district staff, I, I do apologize for

303
00:15:09.005 --> 00:15:10.325
that type of interaction

304
00:15:10.325 --> 00:15:12.125
and we'll certainly look to address that.

305
00:15:14.425 --> 00:15:15.925
Uh, yeah, it would,

306
00:15:20.145 --> 00:15:22.885
at this time, I'd like to call to order the November meeting

307
00:15:22.945 --> 00:15:24.245
of CDD number nine.

308
00:15:25.545 --> 00:15:27.045
Uh, roll call shows

309
00:15:27.045 --> 00:15:29.485
that we have a hundred percent attendance from the board.

310
00:15:30.545 --> 00:15:32.605
And at this point, I'd like to stand for the pledge,

311
00:15:37.545 --> 00:15:41.405
our pledge of vision to flag the United States of America,

312
00:15:42.225 --> 00:15:46.765
two Republic, which stands one nation under undergone

313
00:15:48.395 --> 00:15:49.685
liberty and Justice.

314
00:15:49.685 --> 00:15:52.485
Justice for all. You could please remain standing.

315
00:15:53.325 --> 00:15:56.165
Although a couple days late, I would still like

316
00:15:56.165 --> 00:15:58.965
to honor a moment of silence to all

317
00:15:58.965 --> 00:16:01.445
of our active duty military and veterans

318
00:16:01.465 --> 00:16:02.485
and honor our veterans.

319
00:16:03.375 --> 00:16:04.725
Thank you all for your service.

320
00:16:25.025 --> 00:16:26.725
At this time, I'd like to welcome both

321
00:16:26.725 --> 00:16:28.365
of you in our audience today.

322
00:16:29.525 --> 00:16:31.205
I thank you for taking the time to come.

323
00:16:31.795 --> 00:16:33.845
Does anyone in the audience have any comments

324
00:16:33.845 --> 00:16:35.165
they'd like to make at this time?

325
00:16:45.395 --> 00:16:48.085
Good afternoon board. My name is Cliff Weiner.

326
00:16:48.405 --> 00:16:50.525
I live on Duvet Lane in the village of Piedmont.

327
00:16:50.625 --> 00:16:52.365
I'm the District four supervisor,

328
00:16:52.985 --> 00:16:55.045
and I am the supervisor that is trying

329
00:16:55.045 --> 00:16:58.085
to resurrect the multimodal path discussion group.

330
00:16:58.795 --> 00:17:02.245
Four or five months ago, those a, a resolution

331
00:17:02.395 --> 00:17:04.805
that was put out to the district's.

332
00:17:04.805 --> 00:17:06.325
1, 2, 3, 4 A C,

333
00:17:06.325 --> 00:17:09.165
and P-A-P-A-C turned it down

334
00:17:09.345 --> 00:17:11.445
so the resolution never got approved.

335
00:17:12.545 --> 00:17:13.765
I'm back before you today

336
00:17:13.785 --> 00:17:16.885
to ask you if you would consider being

337
00:17:16.885 --> 00:17:18.085
interested in joining.

338
00:17:18.585 --> 00:17:21.005
If you are, you need the resolution brought back

339
00:17:21.005 --> 00:17:22.165
to you at your next meeting.

340
00:17:22.985 --> 00:17:27.205
So far, a a c districts 1, 2, 4, 7, 12,

341
00:17:27.225 --> 00:17:29.965
and 13 have agreed to be part

342
00:17:29.965 --> 00:17:32.445
of the multimodal path discussion group.

343
00:17:33.435 --> 00:17:34.965
Your input is really important.

344
00:17:35.805 --> 00:17:39.725
I know at our last meeting, which Dan was at,

345
00:17:40.585 --> 00:17:42.765
we had about 50 or 60 people there.

346
00:17:44.145 --> 00:17:45.845
The two meetings we've had so far,

347
00:17:46.335 --> 00:17:47.885
we've had at least 60 people.

348
00:17:48.385 --> 00:17:51.245
So there, it, there's interest from residents.

349
00:17:52.025 --> 00:17:53.925
Safety seems to be the big concern.

350
00:17:55.345 --> 00:17:58.805
So I'm asking you to consider helping us and join

351
00:17:59.625 --> 00:18:01.605
and ask staff to bring it back.

352
00:18:02.065 --> 00:18:04.525
If you have any questions, I'm sure Brittany can answer 'em.

353
00:18:05.105 --> 00:18:07.445
Uh, Our next meeting is scheduled

354
00:18:07.545 --> 00:18:10.845
for January 21st at two o'clock at Savannah

355
00:18:10.845 --> 00:18:12.405
Center. Thank you for your time.

356
00:18:12.855 --> 00:18:13.965
Thank You. Thank you.

357
00:18:17.025 --> 00:18:19.765
Any other feedback, comments from the audience?

358
00:18:20.745 --> 00:18:21.725
Mr. Chairman? Are we gonna do

359
00:18:21.845 --> 00:18:22.645
anything with that right now?

360
00:18:25.115 --> 00:18:28.045
Well, how's the board feel? Thank you.

361
00:18:28.385 --> 00:18:30.205
You can sit down momentarily.

362
00:18:30.905 --> 00:18:33.885
Any feedback, uh, on the message

363
00:18:33.915 --> 00:18:35.125
that we just received there?

364
00:18:35.995 --> 00:18:39.085
Yeah, my, my position was never a popular one on this

365
00:18:39.085 --> 00:18:41.805
board, but it was to, uh, keep after this.

366
00:18:42.625 --> 00:18:46.485
In looking at the safety of it, some people thought, well,

367
00:18:46.515 --> 00:18:47.725
it's, it's safe enough.

368
00:18:49.245 --> 00:18:51.805
I think we could do better. I, I would have interest.

369
00:18:51.885 --> 00:18:53.725
I don't know what the board feels about that.

370
00:18:55.825 --> 00:18:58.485
Is there enough interest to put it on the January agenda?

371
00:18:59.785 --> 00:19:01.085
Are there new issues that

372
00:19:01.235 --> 00:19:03.125
what weren't discussed in previously?

373
00:19:03.365 --> 00:19:05.965
I mean, because we, we spent a lot of time or it,

374
00:19:06.515 --> 00:19:07.515
It's been a while. Yeah.

375
00:19:07.515 --> 00:19:08.725
Yeah. I don't know if we have,

376
00:19:09.285 --> 00:19:11.085
I don't know if we have any new data.

377
00:19:11.265 --> 00:19:12.805
We look for data. Yeah.

378
00:19:12.845 --> 00:19:15.205
I didn't know if we were gonna just re re plow the same

379
00:19:15.205 --> 00:19:17.365
ground again and, you know, if there's new issues

380
00:19:17.465 --> 00:19:19.405
or somebody's got some new ideas.

381
00:19:19.705 --> 00:19:22.645
But if we're just gonna go back, andile the same ground,

382
00:19:22.945 --> 00:19:24.405
If I just might to help you.

383
00:19:24.475 --> 00:19:27.965
Yeah. At our last meeting, it was requested of the people

384
00:19:27.965 --> 00:19:29.645
that were there, that we try

385
00:19:29.645 --> 00:19:32.725
to seek some data from the Public Safety Department

386
00:19:32.865 --> 00:19:35.565
and Sumter County Sheriff's Office, which I am doing.

387
00:19:35.565 --> 00:19:38.085
And hopefully we will have that by our January meeting.

388
00:19:38.745 --> 00:19:41.445
As you know, the sheriff's department

389
00:19:43.165 --> 00:19:44.485
computers had a little issue,

390
00:19:44.905 --> 00:19:46.725
so they're a little slow in trying to get

391
00:19:46.725 --> 00:19:47.925
that information together.

392
00:19:48.385 --> 00:19:51.045
But the last time I talked to, uh, captain Seamer,

393
00:19:51.385 --> 00:19:53.445
he assured me he would have it before January.

394
00:19:53.905 --> 00:19:54.925
So that would help.

395
00:19:55.145 --> 00:19:58.005
And that would be a big issue as to what the issues were

396
00:19:58.505 --> 00:20:01.325
and how many things and incidents they had.

397
00:20:01.705 --> 00:20:03.125
And also from the public safety

398
00:20:03.125 --> 00:20:04.605
department, just throwing it out there.

399
00:20:04.605 --> 00:20:06.685
So it might make it a little bit easier for you guys.

400
00:20:07.585 --> 00:20:12.285
Uh, uh, cliff, what was that date and time again?

401
00:20:12.395 --> 00:20:13.445
January 20th,

402
00:20:13.625 --> 00:20:14.625
Ja. January 21st,

403
00:20:14.625 --> 00:20:16.325
2:00 PM Savannah Center.

404
00:20:19.735 --> 00:20:22.365
Thank you. I know at the, at the meeting there was, uh,

405
00:20:22.825 --> 00:20:27.365
uh, some people, one lady that was, had trouble

406
00:20:28.035 --> 00:20:30.685
understanding, but I think she was run over

407
00:20:30.745 --> 00:20:32.125
by a golf cart on the path.

408
00:20:32.425 --> 00:20:33.725
And there's some issues like that.

409
00:20:33.795 --> 00:20:35.685
Some other people that have had near misses,

410
00:20:35.765 --> 00:20:36.965
bicyclists, et cetera.

411
00:20:37.345 --> 00:20:38.965
Uh, so there is, uh,

412
00:20:38.985 --> 00:20:40.565
before the multimodal path,

413
00:20:40.665 --> 00:20:43.445
as I remember all those years ago, it was whether

414
00:20:43.465 --> 00:20:44.765
to put strikes down or not.

415
00:20:44.865 --> 00:20:47.365
And that was the main reason for the multimodal path.

416
00:20:47.765 --> 00:20:49.645
I think the citizens now are looking at

417
00:20:49.745 --> 00:20:53.525
how we can increase safety on the path that's a wide,

418
00:20:53.665 --> 00:20:54.805
uh, uh, system there.

419
00:20:54.805 --> 00:20:56.605
And without data, it's hard to say,

420
00:20:57.465 --> 00:20:59.125
or do we need to look at it or not.

421
00:20:59.185 --> 00:21:02.685
But I, I think I will, I will be assuming I'm here

422
00:21:03.465 --> 00:21:06.925
on the 21st, I will attend that meeting as the board rep.

423
00:21:08.365 --> 00:21:09.925
I think that would be good to attend the meeting

424
00:21:09.925 --> 00:21:11.245
and see what happens at that time.

425
00:21:11.265 --> 00:21:12.765
And then we can proceed from there.

426
00:21:13.365 --> 00:21:16.245
I mean, my personal experience as a biker, I,

427
00:21:16.315 --> 00:21:17.445
I've run into the issue

428
00:21:17.505 --> 00:21:19.845
of walkers going in the wrong direction.

429
00:21:20.425 --> 00:21:23.485
And then some of these divided sections, you get

430
00:21:23.485 --> 00:21:26.685
behind a walker going the same direction as the biker in it,

431
00:21:27.265 --> 00:21:28.885
you know, and then there's a golf cart

432
00:21:28.945 --> 00:21:31.645
and next thing you know, there's it's opportunity

433
00:21:31.745 --> 00:21:33.205
for the problem.

434
00:21:33.785 --> 00:21:36.685
But a lot of it's just, I don't, it's lack of understanding

435
00:21:36.745 --> 00:21:38.845
of what side of the road they should walk.

436
00:21:41.435 --> 00:21:44.445
There's a lot of issues that I, I think

437
00:21:44.445 --> 00:21:45.885
that people don't remember the lessons

438
00:21:45.995 --> 00:21:47.805
they were taught in first grade. Yeah.

439
00:21:47.805 --> 00:21:52.005
Right, right. So we'll suggest

440
00:21:52.055 --> 00:21:55.045
after the January meeting to, uh, review it as a board

441
00:21:55.045 --> 00:21:57.365
and decide where to go from there. Okay.

442
00:21:57.665 --> 00:21:59.285
And Mr. Chairman, um,

443
00:21:59.465 --> 00:22:02.485
we can circulate out the resolution if you'd like

444
00:22:02.485 --> 00:22:04.445
to take a look at that by email prior

445
00:22:04.445 --> 00:22:06.045
to it being placed on an agenda.

446
00:22:06.705 --> 00:22:08.685
Um, but as, uh, Mr.

447
00:22:08.825 --> 00:22:11.685
Weiner stated, it was really at the request of staff

448
00:22:11.685 --> 00:22:13.485
that he attend the meetings to determine whether

449
00:22:13.485 --> 00:22:15.125
or not you want it placed on your agenda.

450
00:22:15.545 --> 00:22:19.045
Um, but also from staff's perspective, if the group is going

451
00:22:19.045 --> 00:22:21.885
to continue to meet, to give it some structure

452
00:22:22.145 --> 00:22:24.685
for sunshine law purposes, meeting notices,

453
00:22:26.065 --> 00:22:27.245
ads, things of that nature.

454
00:22:27.705 --> 00:22:29.365
Um, so that's just something to consider

455
00:22:29.365 --> 00:22:31.325
that if you wanna continue participation

456
00:22:31.425 --> 00:22:34.165
to look at the resolution from a structural standpoint.

457
00:22:35.095 --> 00:22:38.725
Could you bring that January meeting or before the

458
00:22:40.105 --> 00:22:42.805
Yes, we can place it on the next agenda if you'd like to.

459
00:22:43.225 --> 00:22:45.525
And it, it will be up to the board to take action on it,

460
00:22:45.525 --> 00:22:47.005
but if you'd like to review it on the

461
00:22:47.005 --> 00:22:48.165
agenda, we'll include it.

462
00:22:49.485 --> 00:22:51.325
Brittany could, uh, we also gather

463
00:22:51.385 --> 00:22:55.285
and publish the concerns so far from the other districts

464
00:22:55.285 --> 00:22:56.805
so we don't overlook something

465
00:22:58.915 --> 00:23:02.445
When you say other concerns, The minutes of the last

466
00:23:03.405 --> 00:23:05.445
M Yes. Yes. We'll do that as

467
00:23:05.445 --> 00:23:06.445
Well. Great. Thank you.

468
00:23:06.445 --> 00:23:06.565

469
00:23:07.505 --> 00:23:09.805
Any other comments? The audience

470
00:23:12.485 --> 00:23:15.125
question the name and address, please?

471
00:23:20.985 --> 00:23:22.885
Uh, yes. My name is Herb Schumaker.

472
00:23:23.705 --> 00:23:26.725
Uh, I live in the, uh, village of Gilchrist.

473
00:23:27.025 --> 00:23:30.005
I'm on the, uh, seventh hole of Evans Prairie,

474
00:23:30.385 --> 00:23:32.125
the Kil Deer nine. Your

475
00:23:32.125 --> 00:23:33.125
Address, please.

476
00:23:33.275 --> 00:23:36.245
1504 Rest Haven Way.

477
00:23:37.265 --> 00:23:40.795
Uh, it's on the seventh hole of, uh,

478
00:23:41.415 --> 00:23:42.835
the Kilder Golf Course.

479
00:23:45.035 --> 00:23:47.525
Well, uh, it seems like

480
00:23:48.715 --> 00:23:53.485
it's becoming a common dumping site that the water

481
00:23:54.025 --> 00:23:57.285
is being dumped on Evans Prairie,

482
00:23:59.255 --> 00:24:02.115
uh, almost for the last month.

483
00:24:03.615 --> 00:24:06.795
Uh, I'd like an explanation of why

484
00:24:07.575 --> 00:24:12.355
do the people on Evans Prairie have any, uh, uh, rights.

485
00:24:13.635 --> 00:24:16.955
I paid, uh, some dear money for a view lot

486
00:24:18.265 --> 00:24:21.235
back in 2012, for example,

487
00:24:22.365 --> 00:24:27.275
there were 14 trees on this lot that were in this backdrop,

488
00:24:28.615 --> 00:24:32.035
and I'm sure that that was priced into the, uh, price

489
00:24:32.255 --> 00:24:33.475
of the lot.

490
00:24:34.425 --> 00:24:36.475
Currently, there are six left

491
00:24:36.775 --> 00:24:40.035
and four of them are century oats that are

492
00:24:40.995 --> 00:24:44.395
standing in water through the, uh,

493
00:24:44.825 --> 00:24:49.475
past years on Evans Prairie, especially on

494
00:24:50.295 --> 00:24:51.355
the Egret nine.

495
00:24:52.055 --> 00:24:54.515
Uh, or on the other two nine,

496
00:24:55.365 --> 00:25:00.315
there have been no left than three dozen century oak trees

497
00:25:00.665 --> 00:25:04.075
that have been drowned, cut down

498
00:25:04.695 --> 00:25:06.395
and just going away with.

499
00:25:07.205 --> 00:25:10.185
And then on top of that, there's been

500
00:25:11.335 --> 00:25:16.065
nothing put in or nearby to replace that.

501
00:25:17.125 --> 00:25:20.785
And this is why I'm wondering all the people

502
00:25:20.785 --> 00:25:24.665
that live on Evans Prairie, uh, do they have a voice?

503
00:25:25.285 --> 00:25:27.065
Uh, do they get any respect?

504
00:25:28.125 --> 00:25:32.745
All the golf courses have been opened in the villages,

505
00:25:33.965 --> 00:25:35.705
uh, two to three weeks ago.

506
00:25:37.045 --> 00:25:40.865
And up until yesterday they continued dumping water.

507
00:25:42.595 --> 00:25:46.295
Why are we the ones that are getting all of the abuse?

508
00:25:47.675 --> 00:25:48.695
I'm all about fairness.

509
00:25:49.355 --> 00:25:50.975
If there's water to be distributed,

510
00:25:51.725 --> 00:25:53.775
everybody gets their turn in the barrel

511
00:25:53.915 --> 00:25:55.375
or takes the fair share.

512
00:25:56.545 --> 00:25:59.705
I paid just as much money as anybody else did

513
00:25:59.885 --> 00:26:03.265
for a view lot, and it's being destroyed.

514
00:26:04.425 --> 00:26:05.945
I, I, I would like some answers.

515
00:26:06.985 --> 00:26:11.865
I talked to a person from the, uh, uh, the village,

516
00:26:12.205 --> 00:26:16.665
uh, oh, what the outfit, uh, named Bob,

517
00:26:22.245 --> 00:26:25.185
uh, the main, uh, camp say, well,

518
00:26:25.185 --> 00:26:26.545
Let, let me just interject.

519
00:26:27.065 --> 00:26:30.465
I hear your complaint. Uh, the district have nothing to do

520
00:26:30.535 --> 00:26:32.985
with the championship golf force, first of all,

521
00:26:32.985 --> 00:26:36.105
because nothing we as a board can do relative

522
00:26:36.105 --> 00:26:37.225
to a championship course.

523
00:26:37.585 --> 00:26:40.385
Secondly, they did just announce that they are opening

524
00:26:40.415 --> 00:26:43.365
that course for play starting next week.

525
00:26:43.985 --> 00:26:46.445
And they have stopped the dumping, which I know was done

526
00:26:46.445 --> 00:26:49.525
because of whether it's water controls

527
00:26:49.525 --> 00:26:51.485
or they're not responsible for it until,

528
00:26:52.345 --> 00:26:55.005
but, uh, they were dumping there and I suspect it's

529
00:26:55.005 --> 00:26:57.725
because it was one of the lower lying areas and

530
00:26:57.725 --> 00:27:00.605
therefore, you know, was the last place to dump.

531
00:27:00.705 --> 00:27:02.725
But we have nothing to say about it.

532
00:27:02.825 --> 00:27:04.405
So you'd have to speak to

533
00:27:04.465 --> 00:27:05.885
who They have to speak to Brittany.

534
00:27:06.505 --> 00:27:10.925
Yes. Well, luckily district staff will still, um, evaluate

535
00:27:10.925 --> 00:27:14.205
that to determine if it's on the, the golf course, the,

536
00:27:14.205 --> 00:27:16.565
the residential district may not be responsible for it,

537
00:27:16.565 --> 00:27:19.325
but the golf division, um, potentially.

538
00:27:19.345 --> 00:27:20.365
So we will review that

539
00:27:20.505 --> 00:27:22.765
and we'll provide an update, um, to you.

540
00:27:22.865 --> 00:27:25.525
If you can, I can get your contact information

541
00:27:25.625 --> 00:27:29.085
or if, if Mr. Wiley, um, if you wanna speak to him

542
00:27:29.085 --> 00:27:31.405
and provide your contact information, we'll follow up

543
00:27:31.405 --> 00:27:32.565
and get a response for you.

544
00:27:32.875 --> 00:27:36.765
Yeah, uh, I, I, I just, uh, you know, uh, think it's

545
00:27:36.765 --> 00:27:39.325
so unfair in, in regards

546
00:27:39.385 --> 00:27:41.765
to this situation that's going on.

547
00:27:42.425 --> 00:27:45.085
And we did receive a significant amount of rainfall

548
00:27:45.185 --> 00:27:46.765
and there have been extensive efforts

549
00:27:46.945 --> 00:27:49.605
to reduce the water levels throughout the community,

550
00:27:49.605 --> 00:27:52.485
but there are various types of basins and whether

551
00:27:52.485 --> 00:27:53.565
or not they're interconnected

552
00:27:54.025 --> 00:27:55.845
and how they reduce those water levels.

553
00:27:56.025 --> 00:27:58.365
So we'll definitely take a look at that and follow up.

554
00:27:59.425 --> 00:28:01.125
One other thing on that, I had a lot

555
00:28:01.125 --> 00:28:02.565
of residents ask me the same,

556
00:28:02.915 --> 00:28:04.565
similar question about the trees.

557
00:28:04.925 --> 00:28:07.325
'cause a lot of trees have been, you know,

558
00:28:07.395 --> 00:28:09.685
were lost recently with the hurricanes and the water,

559
00:28:10.105 --> 00:28:13.085
and it doesn't seem to be a replacement program going on.

560
00:28:13.555 --> 00:28:15.005
It's not apparent if there is,

561
00:28:15.385 --> 00:28:16.685
but you might address that too.

562
00:28:17.075 --> 00:28:19.405
They are, I actually have updated information

563
00:28:19.475 --> 00:28:23.005
that they are working, um, through issuing those pos, um,

564
00:28:23.065 --> 00:28:25.045
to begin the replacement throughout the community

565
00:28:25.265 --> 00:28:26.445
of, of the trees.

566
00:28:26.445 --> 00:28:28.525
Okay. It would just depend on, um,

567
00:28:28.625 --> 00:28:31.165
and I say that if it's on district property, so I,

568
00:28:31.165 --> 00:28:34.925
I can't speak to like a championship golf course if it's a

569
00:28:34.925 --> 00:28:36.725
private property, but on district

570
00:28:37.005 --> 00:28:38.085
property, we're working through that now.

571
00:28:38.485 --> 00:28:40.605
District property. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

572
00:28:40.605 --> 00:28:43.325
The unfortunate thing is you lose a hundred year old tree

573
00:28:43.505 --> 00:28:45.125
and they replace it with a new tree.

574
00:28:45.305 --> 00:28:46.565
So, um,

575
00:28:46.585 --> 00:28:49.005
but that's just the way it goes. You can't afford the other.

576
00:28:49.685 --> 00:28:53.085
I like that. Yeah. Um, any other comments?

577
00:28:55.875 --> 00:28:57.565
Okay. And let's proceed with the agenda.

578
00:28:57.665 --> 00:29:00.805
The first item on the agenda is a consent agenda.

579
00:29:01.225 --> 00:29:03.645
Motion to approve the consent agenda is a motion

580
00:29:03.705 --> 00:29:05.445
to approve all recommended actions.

581
00:29:05.905 --> 00:29:08.725
All matters on the consent agenda are considered routine,

582
00:29:09.185 --> 00:29:10.405
no discussions required

583
00:29:10.405 --> 00:29:14.045
unless desired by a board supervisor or a member of the public.

584
00:29:15.865 --> 00:29:19.605
Mr. Chairman, um, that gentleman is coming back

585
00:29:19.665 --> 00:29:22.405
and I think the lady in the corner.

586
00:29:22.585 --> 00:29:27.165
Did you have something or was that okay? I was gonna, okay.

587
00:29:27.945 --> 00:29:30.125
The, uh, uh, thing I wanted to add

588
00:29:30.145 --> 00:29:34.165
before were that I, I, I contacted

589
00:29:35.285 --> 00:29:39.205
property management and Bart Graham

590
00:29:39.865 --> 00:29:43.445
and his underling came out.

591
00:29:45.305 --> 00:29:46.765
He looked at the situation

592
00:29:47.705 --> 00:29:50.725
and, uh, I, I thought the guy was so rude, it was beyond.

593
00:29:51.845 --> 00:29:54.785
And, uh, he said, you know, all these people do that.

594
00:29:54.785 --> 00:29:56.145
They want a golf course because

595
00:29:56.165 --> 00:29:59.745
as you complain about too much water, not enough water.

596
00:30:01.125 --> 00:30:02.545
And, uh, he looked around

597
00:30:02.805 --> 00:30:06.545
and he said, well, you know, he says, uh, he says,

598
00:30:06.545 --> 00:30:09.865
you're just lucky you don't have halts on your property,

599
00:30:10.485 --> 00:30:12.785
you know, that come out of the swamp or et cetera.

600
00:30:13.365 --> 00:30:16.185
And that was his comment and, and he walked off

601
00:30:16.765 --> 00:30:18.945
and I thought it was just so bad.

602
00:30:19.645 --> 00:30:24.305
Uh, and, and just so crude and rude, that's all I gotta say.

603
00:30:25.765 --> 00:30:28.945
And on behalf of district staff, I, I do apologize for

604
00:30:28.945 --> 00:30:30.145
that type of interaction

605
00:30:30.165 --> 00:30:31.865
and we'll certainly look to address that.

606
00:30:34.245 --> 00:30:35.665
Um, yeah, it was

607
00:30:40.015 --> 00:30:41.545
Okay, back to the consent agenda.

608
00:30:41.845 --> 00:30:44.865
Do we have a motion to approve or any discussion?

609
00:30:45.205 --> 00:30:46.865
So moved. Second.

610
00:30:47.295 --> 00:30:49.905
Have a motion and a second to approve the consent agenda.

611
00:30:49.965 --> 00:30:53.785
All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

612
00:30:54.285 --> 00:30:57.585
Motion carries. Object to the old business.

613
00:30:58.045 --> 00:31:01.105
Uh, think you've seen an old business update.

614
00:31:02.565 --> 00:31:05.625
Is there any questions on the old business update? I,

615
00:31:05.825 --> 00:31:08.745
I would like to make a comment on the old business update.

616
00:31:09.085 --> 00:31:11.945
Uh, we have a, a item on there that's pending

617
00:31:12.115 --> 00:31:13.985
until budget review something.

618
00:31:14.705 --> 00:31:17.105
I think it's, uh, evaluate options

619
00:31:17.125 --> 00:31:18.665
to reduce the maintenance costs.

620
00:31:18.965 --> 00:31:20.825
Yes, I would like to expand that

621
00:31:20.885 --> 00:31:22.985
and do it sooner than budget review.

622
00:31:23.385 --> 00:31:25.065
I think we, it probably is time for us

623
00:31:25.065 --> 00:31:26.705
to have a good budget discussion

624
00:31:26.895 --> 00:31:30.105
because it'll be very easy to do the layup and come back

625
00:31:30.105 --> 00:31:32.785
and say, well, if you order reduce your maintenance fees,

626
00:31:33.005 --> 00:31:36.785
you can reduce 'em by 3%, 5%, 10%, 50%, or whatever.

627
00:31:37.015 --> 00:31:38.425
Just take it outta your reserves.

628
00:31:38.965 --> 00:31:40.145
And I think we probably ought

629
00:31:40.145 --> 00:31:43.185
to have a good open discussion about our entire budget.

630
00:31:43.845 --> 00:31:48.265
Uh, Brittany gave me a, a, a sheet about a couple

631
00:31:48.265 --> 00:31:50.545
of months ago that showed each district

632
00:31:50.565 --> 00:31:52.225
and what percent of their budget was

633
00:31:52.225 --> 00:31:53.465
funded for maintenance fees.

634
00:31:53.975 --> 00:31:56.625
Some are a hundred percent funded from the maintenance fees,

635
00:31:56.925 --> 00:31:59.185
others are 60%, 70%.

636
00:31:59.565 --> 00:32:01.185
And I don't know where they get their money.

637
00:32:01.685 --> 00:32:03.705
You know, we just get it out of the reserve account

638
00:32:04.085 --> 00:32:06.465
and we always have this reserve discussion and our budget,

639
00:32:06.845 --> 00:32:08.825
but we, we wait till it's budget time

640
00:32:09.245 --> 00:32:11.105
and we're trying to get through the process.

641
00:32:11.705 --> 00:32:12.945
I would just suggest in January

642
00:32:13.045 --> 00:32:15.025
or February when we have a little bit of time

643
00:32:15.335 --> 00:32:17.745
that we have a very open discussion.

644
00:32:17.745 --> 00:32:21.585
Everybody can bring their wishes, uh, to, to the table

645
00:32:21.685 --> 00:32:22.785
and talk about the budget

646
00:32:22.815 --> 00:32:26.825
because, you know, we have some members or residents come in

647
00:32:26.825 --> 00:32:29.145
and tell us, oh, you gotta lower those maintenance fees.

648
00:32:29.145 --> 00:32:30.945
You got too much, uh, in reserve.

649
00:32:31.005 --> 00:32:33.465
Others come in and say, you ought to balance your budget.

650
00:32:33.605 --> 00:32:35.745
You know, you shouldn't, your maintenance fees should pay

651
00:32:35.845 --> 00:32:37.905
pay for your, for your budget each year.

652
00:32:38.365 --> 00:32:41.045
So I think we just ought to have an open discussion about it

653
00:32:41.305 --> 00:32:43.525
before we expect the staff to come back

654
00:32:43.525 --> 00:32:44.565
with some recommendations.

655
00:32:45.345 --> 00:32:48.125
And I'll look for concurrence from Ms. Cook,

656
00:32:48.345 --> 00:32:51.565
but I believe the February timeframe would be a good

657
00:32:51.565 --> 00:32:54.365
timeframe in advance of your normal budget cycle.

658
00:32:54.945 --> 00:32:56.325
Um, that will give staff

659
00:32:56.505 --> 00:32:59.685
and the department's time to input their projects,

660
00:32:59.795 --> 00:33:02.805
funding requests to understand, you know,

661
00:33:03.065 --> 00:33:05.685
how your budget is progressing and developing

662
00:33:05.865 --> 00:33:09.045
and what any type of reduction would look like. Okay.

663
00:33:09.725 --> 00:33:11.045
I just think we need a philosophical

664
00:33:11.045 --> 00:33:12.165
discussion about our budget.

665
00:33:12.325 --> 00:33:13.445
I mean, I don't know

666
00:33:13.445 --> 00:33:16.085
how the other supervisor feel on that second.

667
00:33:17.235 --> 00:33:18.235
Yeah.

668
00:33:19.305 --> 00:33:22.045
So we'll include that in your February agenda. Okay.

669
00:33:22.355 --> 00:33:24.125
Just expand that a little bit. Thank you.

670
00:33:27.375 --> 00:33:29.965
Thank you. Anything else on old business?

671
00:33:32.665 --> 00:33:34.685
Um, you do have the courtyard, uh,

672
00:33:34.775 --> 00:33:36.285
villa front entry widening.

673
00:33:36.305 --> 00:33:38.965
Um, we did indicate last month that we would put this on

674
00:33:39.065 --> 00:33:40.445
as a presentation.

675
00:33:40.945 --> 00:33:43.285
Um, so Mr. Armstrong is here

676
00:33:43.285 --> 00:33:45.365
and he will step us through this PowerPoint.

677
00:33:53.035 --> 00:33:54.085
Alright. Alright. All right.

678
00:33:54.085 --> 00:33:55.525
Good afternoon board, Matt Armstrong.

679
00:33:55.525 --> 00:33:57.285
Good afternoon, director of Community standards.

680
00:33:57.665 --> 00:33:59.845
So at last month's meeting a resident to come

681
00:33:59.845 --> 00:34:02.325
before you requesting a, uh, petition process

682
00:34:03.145 --> 00:34:05.045
for the widening of the front entryway.

683
00:34:05.785 --> 00:34:07.925
So just really briefly, um,

684
00:34:08.715 --> 00:34:10.885
this was last month at the October 17th meeting

685
00:34:11.025 --> 00:34:12.125
as I just described.

686
00:34:12.705 --> 00:34:16.245
So the petition process is if something already exists,

687
00:34:16.245 --> 00:34:18.005
if you've already approved a petition process,

688
00:34:18.155 --> 00:34:21.245
what we would do is hand over a signature page

689
00:34:21.245 --> 00:34:22.565
to the residence and they would go out

690
00:34:22.565 --> 00:34:25.285
and try to get 75% of their neighborhood constituents

691
00:34:25.345 --> 00:34:27.325
to sign off that they would like to see this modification.

692
00:34:27.905 --> 00:34:30.285
If they do succeed in doing that, it would go

693
00:34:30.285 --> 00:34:32.125
before the architectural review committee in which they

694
00:34:32.125 --> 00:34:34.845
would sign off that they did receive the 75% requirement.

695
00:34:34.845 --> 00:34:36.885
And it would be added to your architectural review manual

696
00:34:37.625 --> 00:34:40.445
if it does not exist, just as the resident has done

697
00:34:40.445 --> 00:34:42.485
before, it comes before the board to request it.

698
00:34:42.485 --> 00:34:44.365
We add it to the agenda, which is done today

699
00:34:44.785 --> 00:34:45.965
for your approval as to whether

700
00:34:45.965 --> 00:34:49.285
or not you would like to see this petition process granted

701
00:34:49.865 --> 00:34:54.085
for, in this case, a modification to allow an extension

702
00:34:54.085 --> 00:34:55.285
of the front entryway.

703
00:34:55.865 --> 00:34:57.165
So, as a example,

704
00:34:57.265 --> 00:34:59.445
the front picture you see here is something

705
00:34:59.445 --> 00:35:01.085
that has landscaping bed in there.

706
00:35:01.085 --> 00:35:03.605
It has flowers in this small area.

707
00:35:04.025 --> 00:35:08.125
And what the request is, is to allow it to have pavers

708
00:35:08.145 --> 00:35:09.965
or concrete right there to allow

709
00:35:09.985 --> 00:35:12.125
for a seamless transition between the two.

710
00:35:12.705 --> 00:35:14.445
As, as a modification request,

711
00:35:15.225 --> 00:35:16.565
you have approved other petitions

712
00:35:16.565 --> 00:35:19.085
before in the past, such as screening your front entryway

713
00:35:19.105 --> 00:35:20.165
or painting your driveway.

714
00:35:20.225 --> 00:35:22.005
So, uh, petition process is

715
00:35:22.005 --> 00:35:23.205
definitely nothing new to this board.

716
00:35:23.385 --> 00:35:25.485
So it's whether or not you, as the board would like

717
00:35:25.725 --> 00:35:28.365
to authorize the approval of the petition.

718
00:35:28.905 --> 00:35:30.765
The petition does not automatically mean

719
00:35:30.765 --> 00:35:31.845
again, that this would be approved.

720
00:35:31.905 --> 00:35:33.685
The homeowner still is required to get out

721
00:35:33.705 --> 00:35:36.405
and did get the 75% of homeowners to sign off on it.

722
00:35:39.195 --> 00:35:43.445
Matt, could, could you clarify why people want that?

723
00:35:44.505 --> 00:35:46.965
The homeowner's right here, she can explain.

724
00:35:47.955 --> 00:35:48.565
Come on up.

725
00:35:57.315 --> 00:35:59.925
Well, several of my neighbors are interested.

726
00:36:00.225 --> 00:36:02.685
Can you, your address please address. I'm sorry. Sorry.

727
00:36:02.685 --> 00:36:05.805
Shirley Bevin, I live in, uh, Sharon Villa.

728
00:36:06.745 --> 00:36:11.605
And, um, these really don't serve a purpose

729
00:36:12.495 --> 00:36:14.325
other than to put some flowers

730
00:36:14.505 --> 00:36:16.845
or some, uh, shrubbery out there.

731
00:36:17.625 --> 00:36:20.085
Uh, several of the people have wanted to

732
00:36:20.595 --> 00:36:22.325
make it a smooth transition.

733
00:36:22.745 --> 00:36:23.965
If you come home at night

734
00:36:24.545 --> 00:36:27.845
and you have, especially in the village, they're very short

735
00:36:28.185 --> 00:36:32.365
and very, uh, this driveways curve.

736
00:36:33.145 --> 00:36:35.725
So to get two cars in there, especially now with

737
00:36:35.825 --> 00:36:37.245
so many people having SUVs

738
00:36:37.245 --> 00:36:41.205
and so forth, you are practically getting out

739
00:36:41.225 --> 00:36:44.685
and stepping into the shrubbery.

740
00:36:45.585 --> 00:36:48.245
And many of us have rocks in there.

741
00:36:48.585 --> 00:36:52.005
And I personally, I mean, I've stumbled over them

742
00:36:52.025 --> 00:36:54.445
and I, when I get out, I have to use my cane.

743
00:36:54.465 --> 00:36:58.445
If it's at night, I can't see where those rocks are.

744
00:36:59.145 --> 00:37:02.645
And I have stumbled several times over these.

745
00:37:03.025 --> 00:37:05.595
Um, and again, they're, I don't know

746
00:37:05.595 --> 00:37:07.395
that they serve an awful lot of purpose.

747
00:37:07.905 --> 00:37:11.875
Several people particularly, those are on the end, um,

748
00:37:12.045 --> 00:37:16.835
which have a larger area that allows them to make a larger,

749
00:37:17.345 --> 00:37:19.825
very nice looking areas.

750
00:37:20.485 --> 00:37:22.465
And many of the other villas have this,

751
00:37:23.125 --> 00:37:24.905
but, um, apparently we don't.

752
00:37:25.565 --> 00:37:30.145
So I would like to have that opportunity to do that.

753
00:37:34.285 --> 00:37:38.745
So, um, it is just this pictured spot here that you're

754
00:37:38.745 --> 00:37:42.625
Looking at that small Yeah, it, it's in there in between

755
00:37:42.725 --> 00:37:45.705
and it just, like I said, it really doesn't serve a purpose.

756
00:37:46.325 --> 00:37:49.705
And for me personally, it's a, it's a health hazard. Mm-hmm.

757
00:37:49.785 --> 00:37:51.745
Because I've simple over it in the evenings.

758
00:37:52.585 --> 00:37:55.225
I mean, I live, actually live at a courtyard FI mean,

759
00:37:55.225 --> 00:37:57.785
it serves no useful purpose having that strip there.

760
00:37:58.165 --> 00:38:00.785
It couldn't offend anyone if it was not, not there.

761
00:38:00.865 --> 00:38:04.345
I mean, it was just concrete from the sidewalk to the,

762
00:38:04.525 --> 00:38:05.865
to the front entry area.

763
00:38:06.315 --> 00:38:07.865
Right. I don't see the downside.

764
00:38:08.025 --> 00:38:09.345
I don't see how anyone could

765
00:38:09.345 --> 00:38:10.345
Object.

766
00:38:10.645 --> 00:38:13.625
The only issue that I would have is for Mr. Armstrong,

767
00:38:14.215 --> 00:38:17.585
there's, um, you can only concrete so much land

768
00:38:17.645 --> 00:38:19.185
for arability, et cetera,

769
00:38:19.205 --> 00:38:21.585
and there's permits out here for building that.

770
00:38:21.585 --> 00:38:24.825
You have to have so much percolation available. Does this?

771
00:38:26.295 --> 00:38:28.225
Okay. That's the only question I had.

772
00:38:28.775 --> 00:38:30.185
Well, it does say that you go to the,

773
00:38:30.315 --> 00:38:33.625
where the TD is petition process to substantially

774
00:38:34.355 --> 00:38:35.445
alter the appearance.

775
00:38:36.585 --> 00:38:38.725
That's not substantial. That's not even substantial.

776
00:38:38.785 --> 00:38:40.325
That's a minor. Yeah.

777
00:38:41.425 --> 00:38:44.525
And those that have them is in other villas areas

778
00:38:44.635 --> 00:38:46.765
that have, are, they're allowed to do it.

779
00:38:46.955 --> 00:38:50.205
They often put, you know, not concrete so much as pavers

780
00:38:50.785 --> 00:38:52.605
and it or something.

781
00:38:52.635 --> 00:38:53.965
Sometimes they paint it

782
00:38:53.965 --> 00:38:55.565
so it looks the same as the driveway.

783
00:38:55.945 --> 00:38:59.845
It gives an area where you can pull your, your golf cart in

784
00:39:00.465 --> 00:39:01.645
and still get in your house.

785
00:39:01.825 --> 00:39:04.485
If you wanna leave your golf cart out for a while

786
00:39:04.485 --> 00:39:06.445
and your car is there, uh,

787
00:39:06.465 --> 00:39:07.765
it just gives you a little more room.

788
00:39:08.545 --> 00:39:12.245
And for those of us, as we get older, I know myself, uh,

789
00:39:12.245 --> 00:39:15.405
when I went blind in my one eye, my stability

790
00:39:15.985 --> 00:39:17.925
in balance is not what it once was.

791
00:39:18.745 --> 00:39:23.165
So those things become a major concern, some of us.

792
00:39:27.025 --> 00:39:31.165
Any other questions? Do, do we have to put them

793
00:39:31.165 --> 00:39:33.485
through the, the pro the petition process

794
00:39:33.825 --> 00:39:36.445
or Mike?

795
00:39:36.445 --> 00:39:39.205
It's not substantial. Why, why can't they just do it?

796
00:39:39.835 --> 00:39:43.205
Well, some approval, but without a 71%.

797
00:39:43.345 --> 00:39:45.645
But it could be in the by, I think it's in the

798
00:39:46.195 --> 00:39:48.285
charter. Anything has to be done.

799
00:39:48.825 --> 00:39:50.845
It external modifications for the property.

800
00:39:50.845 --> 00:39:52.685
This is not in your architectural review manual.

801
00:39:52.705 --> 00:39:54.645
And this would be adding it via that process.

802
00:39:55.125 --> 00:39:58.045
A lot of homeowners, they purchased their bill units

803
00:39:58.045 --> 00:39:59.765
because it specifically looked that way.

804
00:40:00.145 --> 00:40:02.165
So that's why the petition process is specific

805
00:40:02.165 --> 00:40:03.165
to these courtyard villas

806
00:40:03.165 --> 00:40:05.525
because if we go all

807
00:40:05.525 --> 00:40:07.085
of a sudden making these substantial changes,

808
00:40:07.085 --> 00:40:08.405
they go, I didn't like that.

809
00:40:08.455 --> 00:40:10.605
Right. That's not the way I bought the community.

810
00:40:10.645 --> 00:40:11.685
I wanted it to look this way.

811
00:40:12.115 --> 00:40:14.045
This gives the voice to the resident says, yes,

812
00:40:14.045 --> 00:40:16.245
we unified like this look and this is what we want to do.

813
00:40:17.235 --> 00:40:18.765
Okay. But it, I I still hold.

814
00:40:18.795 --> 00:40:20.165
It's not a substantial change.

815
00:40:20.505 --> 00:40:23.285
If the plant dies, are you gonna find them?

816
00:40:24.905 --> 00:40:26.485
If there was like landscaping weeds

817
00:40:26.485 --> 00:40:28.685
and things like that, dead plants, then yeah, we would say

818
00:40:28.685 --> 00:40:31.045
that you have dead landscaping not being clean

819
00:40:31.045 --> 00:40:32.365
and that it would be a violation

820
00:40:32.365 --> 00:40:33.765
of the restrictions if the plant died.

821
00:40:34.665 --> 00:40:38.965
And the 75% comes from that neighborhood,

822
00:40:39.195 --> 00:40:42.165
just from that fillet area, the entire valet area.

823
00:40:42.415 --> 00:40:45.965
Right. Like if there's 60 homes of 45 people

824
00:40:45.965 --> 00:40:47.965
that have 4,500 have,

825
00:40:48.265 --> 00:40:52.685
but we're adding this to the, um, a RC manual.

826
00:40:52.865 --> 00:40:54.605
Yes. If you approve it, then we would add this

827
00:40:54.605 --> 00:40:56.005
to the manual so that, that we'd

828
00:40:56.005 --> 00:40:57.045
have to come back continuously.

829
00:40:57.065 --> 00:40:59.165
So if another village unit, courtyard Village wanted

830
00:40:59.165 --> 00:41:01.845
to do this, we would just hand them the petition saying it's

831
00:41:01.845 --> 00:41:04.165
already been approved by the board and they can go out

832
00:41:04.165 --> 00:41:04.965
and get the signatures

833
00:41:04.965 --> 00:41:06.205
without having to come back before you.

834
00:41:07.115 --> 00:41:09.405
Okay. So we don't have to make it 75%.

835
00:41:11.505 --> 00:41:13.365
It is not in the manual now. So

836
00:41:14.635 --> 00:41:16.525
Well, the 75% petition process

837
00:41:17.545 --> 00:41:20.205
before for all the other modifications, like the screening

838
00:41:20.205 --> 00:41:21.645
of the front entry as an example.

839
00:41:22.305 --> 00:41:25.205
So that's what you're, what you've been doing as far

840
00:41:25.205 --> 00:41:28.085
as requirements for applications in these court order vs

841
00:41:28.365 --> 00:41:31.045
I know, I, I just don't want to become an HOA where

842
00:41:32.105 --> 00:41:34.125
we monitor every detail.

843
00:41:36.545 --> 00:41:40.725
Um, and well, my position is still,

844
00:41:40.795 --> 00:41:43.005
this is not a substantial alteration.

845
00:41:45.515 --> 00:41:48.715
I I had a question.

846
00:41:48.835 --> 00:41:51.515
I I was a bit confused about the,

847
00:41:51.855 --> 00:41:53.235
the pictures, the top picture.

848
00:41:54.605 --> 00:41:55.755
Whose gate is that?

849
00:41:56.745 --> 00:41:58.435
Does it that belong to the house on the right

850
00:42:03.975 --> 00:42:07.235
in Courtyard Villa? The

851
00:42:07.515 --> 00:42:08.515
Previous picture?

852
00:42:08.535 --> 00:42:12.385
Yes, the go back.

853
00:42:14.005 --> 00:42:16.065
Trying to see the orientation that we have here.

854
00:42:17.405 --> 00:42:19.385
I'm just going by the windows are on that,

855
00:42:19.685 --> 00:42:21.145
on the right hand side side.

856
00:42:21.145 --> 00:42:22.145
So that would be the

857
00:42:22.635 --> 00:42:26.185
whole dominant survey.

858
00:42:27.485 --> 00:42:32.145
You mean the top picture, the one that's on the screen? Yes.

859
00:42:32.165 --> 00:42:35.905
The top picture. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

860
00:42:39.565 --> 00:42:41.545
And I think the same thing goes on this other picture

861
00:42:41.905 --> 00:42:44.425
actually, doesn't it heard you tell.

862
00:42:45.965 --> 00:42:48.825
So just, just so for clarification on, on

863
00:42:48.825 --> 00:42:51.585
what the deed restrictions say, it, it,

864
00:42:51.885 --> 00:42:54.785
it references any modifications made

865
00:42:55.045 --> 00:42:58.385
by a property owner must be approved by, um,

866
00:42:59.285 --> 00:43:01.305
the architectural review committee or the developer.

867
00:43:01.605 --> 00:43:04.465
So it's not necessarily a substantial change,

868
00:43:04.895 --> 00:43:07.625
it's any modifications made to the property,

869
00:43:07.725 --> 00:43:09.185
to the exterior of the home after.

870
00:43:14.735 --> 00:43:17.985
Okay. So I, I guess the, again, the language in,

871
00:43:18.005 --> 00:43:20.625
in the presentation that sub says substantially is

872
00:43:20.625 --> 00:43:24.545
inaccurate, is any modification made, um, has

873
00:43:24.585 --> 00:43:27.585
to be approved either by the developer or the designee.

874
00:43:27.645 --> 00:43:29.985
And in this case, the district is the designee

875
00:43:29.985 --> 00:43:31.665
and you have designated that authority

876
00:43:32.125 --> 00:43:33.545
to the Architectural Review Committee.

877
00:43:33.925 --> 00:43:37.465
And so, again, although some may take the position

878
00:43:37.465 --> 00:43:40.745
that it's not substantial, it is a modification, a change

879
00:43:40.745 --> 00:43:42.465
to the plans, um,

880
00:43:42.725 --> 00:43:45.145
to the way it was developed by the developer.

881
00:43:45.525 --> 00:43:48.225
So again, it's just a matter of going

882
00:43:48.225 --> 00:43:51.105
through this petition process, which you have, uh, followed

883
00:43:51.135 --> 00:43:52.985
that process in the past for other changes.

884
00:43:53.285 --> 00:43:54.665
And I think that's all that we're

885
00:43:54.665 --> 00:43:55.705
asking for at this point in time.

886
00:43:56.005 --> 00:43:57.005
Mm-hmm.

887
00:44:00.405 --> 00:44:03.105
Mr. Armstrong did, did you figure out if

888
00:44:03.105 --> 00:44:04.305
that arrow's in the right place?

889
00:44:05.605 --> 00:44:06.985
No, the air, the arrow's in the right place.

890
00:44:06.985 --> 00:44:08.585
This is an example from another district.

891
00:44:08.655 --> 00:44:09.985
This is not from your district.

892
00:44:10.095 --> 00:44:11.385
This is a example picture

893
00:44:11.655 --> 00:44:13.945
that we've utilized in previous presentations,

894
00:44:16.845 --> 00:44:19.665
but that is the area of question with the arrow.

895
00:44:21.255 --> 00:44:24.945
Okay. And in the, in the bottom picture,

896
00:44:25.295 --> 00:44:27.345
that gate belongs to the house on the left.

897
00:44:27.845 --> 00:44:32.765
Is that correct? We have to put that picture back up again.

898
00:44:34.355 --> 00:44:38.845
Okay. That one,

899
00:44:38.955 --> 00:44:40.285
that one good space right there.

900
00:44:40.435 --> 00:44:42.645
Yeah, exactly. That's how they obtain access

901
00:44:42.645 --> 00:44:43.885
to the back on the left.

902
00:44:45.275 --> 00:44:48.045
Yeah. And so the reason I asked that

903
00:44:48.065 --> 00:44:50.125
and why I was confused is

904
00:44:50.125 --> 00:44:51.965
because I don't know if this has been Photoshop

905
00:44:51.965 --> 00:44:53.325
or just the way it is,

906
00:44:53.705 --> 00:44:55.205
but in that bottom picture,

907
00:44:55.705 --> 00:44:58.845
it shows those gray pavers in there that fills that in.

908
00:44:58.845 --> 00:45:00.685
Mm-hmm. And, and I understand that,

909
00:45:00.825 --> 00:45:04.665
but my caution is, is that a place that

910
00:45:04.885 --> 00:45:08.425
or people are gonna be parking their cart and,

911
00:45:10.565 --> 00:45:12.945
and that's no problem if it's their sidewalk,

912
00:45:15.365 --> 00:45:16.545
but what I'm figuring is

913
00:45:16.735 --> 00:45:20.825
that isn't their sidewalk, that is your sidewalk.

914
00:45:26.545 --> 00:45:31.225
I just this on this picture that's just display the house

915
00:45:31.325 --> 00:45:34.975
to the right and that's their entrance unit

916
00:45:35.475 --> 00:45:38.815
and their property is all of that gray area.

917
00:45:39.835 --> 00:45:43.175
The property line actually goes back

918
00:45:44.195 --> 00:45:46.735
on the neighbor's villa.

919
00:45:47.555 --> 00:45:51.615
In other words, if we walked through that gate, the section

920
00:45:51.795 --> 00:45:54.575
to the right of that concrete is owned

921
00:45:54.595 --> 00:45:55.735
by the house on the right.

922
00:45:57.115 --> 00:46:00.735
And from there point, that edge of that concrete walkway

923
00:46:00.755 --> 00:46:04.175
to the left is owned by the other person.

924
00:46:05.035 --> 00:46:07.975
Now, at least my neighbors

925
00:46:08.035 --> 00:46:12.535
and I, for instance, um, the person

926
00:46:13.315 --> 00:46:16.935
who lives on the left maintains that property,

927
00:46:16.935 --> 00:46:21.415
even though technically, uh, I think it's 18 inches

928
00:46:21.435 --> 00:46:25.055
or two feet of that property belongs to the neighbor.

929
00:46:25.675 --> 00:46:27.655
And each neighbor does the same thing.

930
00:46:28.195 --> 00:46:30.455
The property line isn't even straight. Okay.

931
00:46:30.535 --> 00:46:31.695
I live in a courtyard V

932
00:46:32.195 --> 00:46:34.655
and the property line comes through diagonally

933
00:46:35.045 --> 00:46:36.575
through the side yard.

934
00:46:36.805 --> 00:46:38.855
Okay. And you see, you see states

935
00:46:39.115 --> 00:46:40.615
or nails in the driveway

936
00:46:40.715 --> 00:46:43.615
that's over the property line is so it's really crazy.

937
00:46:43.855 --> 00:46:47.855
I mean, it is, it is. It doesn't make any logical

938
00:46:47.865 --> 00:46:48.865
Sense. So it,

939
00:46:48.865 --> 00:46:50.855
it is strange in that, um,

940
00:46:51.775 --> 00:46:54.015
although there are property lines, um,

941
00:46:54.405 --> 00:46:56.695
that doesn't necessarily matter in cases like this

942
00:46:56.695 --> 00:47:00.655
because there are enjoyment areas on the opposite side

943
00:47:00.655 --> 00:47:02.535
of the property that a property owner will have.

944
00:47:02.555 --> 00:47:04.695
So it's kind of confusing

945
00:47:04.715 --> 00:47:08.335
and it depends on the lots, um, and the area.

946
00:47:08.635 --> 00:47:11.655
So I mean, I think we really just need to focus on,

947
00:47:11.715 --> 00:47:13.015
on the question and the request.

948
00:47:13.035 --> 00:47:15.655
And that is ultimately it's up to the property owners

949
00:47:15.655 --> 00:47:18.095
to decide who has the right to use one side

950
00:47:18.175 --> 00:47:19.335
or the other, not this board.

951
00:47:19.685 --> 00:47:23.295
Does this board want to agree to permit the petition process

952
00:47:23.595 --> 00:47:25.655
to, um, pave that area?

953
00:47:25.915 --> 00:47:27.855
And again, if you do, that's fine.

954
00:47:28.115 --> 00:47:30.485
Go through the petition process, they pave it,

955
00:47:30.745 --> 00:47:33.285
and then there's a dispute between the neighbors as

956
00:47:33.285 --> 00:47:34.325
to who gets to use it.

957
00:47:34.325 --> 00:47:36.725
That's between them. This is just a question as

958
00:47:36.725 --> 00:47:39.765
to whether you wanna approve the petition process for

959
00:47:39.875 --> 00:47:40.885
that area there.

960
00:47:41.175 --> 00:47:42.205
Thank you. Okay.

961
00:47:42.385 --> 00:47:45.885
And in that picture, the gray area is totally owned

962
00:47:45.985 --> 00:47:47.645
by the house to the right.

963
00:47:48.705 --> 00:47:50.885
Who travels through the gate is my question, ma'am?

964
00:47:51.065 --> 00:47:52.165
The person to the left

965
00:47:52.865 --> 00:47:56.565
and that walkway there is his or her property.

966
00:47:56.635 --> 00:47:58.405
Yeah, but from that gray area

967
00:47:58.415 --> 00:48:01.845
where the pavers are over belongs to the other property.

968
00:48:02.165 --> 00:48:03.205
I gotcha. Okay. I just,

969
00:48:03.385 --> 00:48:06.685
but my question was, it was brought up, um,

970
00:48:07.475 --> 00:48:09.925
that people would like to probably use that

971
00:48:10.145 --> 00:48:12.045
to park their golf cart in some cases.

972
00:48:12.785 --> 00:48:16.925
My issue is now would we be splitting the difference in

973
00:48:16.925 --> 00:48:19.285
parking the part of the golf cart on the

974
00:48:19.485 --> 00:48:20.485
Neighbor's? Oh no.

975
00:48:20.485 --> 00:48:22.125
Yeah, I understand what you mean.

976
00:48:22.125 --> 00:48:24.645
No, you wouldn't wanna be parking on their,

977
00:48:24.875 --> 00:48:26.725
your access to their gate.

978
00:48:28.675 --> 00:48:30.085
They would park if, and

979
00:48:30.105 --> 00:48:31.885
and honestly I don't know if, if they would do that.

980
00:48:32.725 --> 00:48:35.485
Although I think that if I were just using my cart

981
00:48:35.505 --> 00:48:39.005
for the day and I knew I was gonna use it later to pull up

982
00:48:39.065 --> 00:48:42.805
and maybe park, uh, a little bit on the gray area

983
00:48:42.985 --> 00:48:47.205
and then on the walkway to the right, um, just

984
00:48:47.205 --> 00:48:49.205
to access my house and then come out

985
00:48:49.265 --> 00:48:51.565
and then get in, you know, if I had a car in the,

986
00:48:51.565 --> 00:48:54.565
in the driveway to be able to get the, the golf cart in

987
00:48:54.565 --> 00:48:55.565
and out and around it.

988
00:48:56.065 --> 00:48:58.285
Uh, but no, you wouldn't want to park on the

989
00:48:58.845 --> 00:49:00.125
neighbor's walkway because

990
00:49:00.125 --> 00:49:01.645
that's their access into the back.

991
00:49:01.645 --> 00:49:02.645
Correct.

992
00:49:03.955 --> 00:49:08.365
Move the question. I don't know

993
00:49:08.365 --> 00:49:10.245
that there's a motion or I don't

994
00:49:10.575 --> 00:49:13.405
Think at this point there is No. You

995
00:49:13.405 --> 00:49:14.405
Need one though. We need a motion, don't

996
00:49:14.405 --> 00:49:15.045
we? Yeah.

997
00:49:15.045 --> 00:49:18.725
We don't have a motion. You want a motion to approve

998
00:49:19.545 --> 00:49:21.885
the petition process?

999
00:49:21.885 --> 00:49:25.405
Approve the petition process to allow this second to second.

1000
00:49:25.715 --> 00:49:29.165
Okay. All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed?

1001
00:49:29.225 --> 00:49:30.205
Motion carries.

1002
00:49:34.155 --> 00:49:35.765
I've lived in one of these for 11 years.

1003
00:49:36.295 --> 00:49:39.205
Never been an issue. Okay.

1004
00:49:39.985 --> 00:49:44.005
Um, then I think that's the end

1005
00:49:44.005 --> 00:49:45.845
of old business, believe it or not.

1006
00:49:46.465 --> 00:49:51.325
Yes. Okay. So that takes us to informational items.

1007
00:49:52.225 --> 00:49:54.085
Yes. There's the DPM monthly report,

1008
00:49:54.155 --> 00:49:55.805
your financial statements, as well

1009
00:49:55.805 --> 00:49:57.325
as your public hearing updates.

1010
00:49:57.945 --> 00:50:00.445
Um, I'll include it as information if you have any

1011
00:50:00.685 --> 00:50:02.005
questions, we're happy to address them.

1012
00:50:05.385 --> 00:50:08.125
Are there any questions, gentlemen?

1013
00:50:12.045 --> 00:50:15.245
I don't have any. Seems like there are none.

1014
00:50:17.105 --> 00:50:20.725
So that could take us to, uh, does

1015
00:50:20.725 --> 00:50:22.525
that include the public hearing updates

1016
00:50:23.835 --> 00:50:25.175
or is that where we are now?

1017
00:50:26.075 --> 00:50:28.525
Uh, no, that concludes, um, informational items

1018
00:50:28.785 --> 00:50:31.085
and we can move to district management report.

1019
00:50:31.085 --> 00:50:34.405
Okay, fine. Um,

1020
00:50:34.405 --> 00:50:37.165
so the first item is a brief presentation

1021
00:50:37.305 --> 00:50:39.125
of the new district website.

1022
00:50:39.465 --> 00:50:40.765
Um, so I'm going to be

1023
00:50:42.125 --> 00:50:44.445
maneuvering the website from my seat here.

1024
00:50:44.705 --> 00:50:47.845
Um, but we do have it up on the projector if you'd like to,

1025
00:50:48.185 --> 00:50:49.725
uh, turn around and take a look

1026
00:50:49.725 --> 00:50:50.885
while I stepped through this.

1027
00:50:51.425 --> 00:50:53.685
Um, but hopefully you've been onto the website.

1028
00:50:53.745 --> 00:50:57.005
Um, we did launch the new website on October 22nd.

1029
00:50:58.005 --> 00:51:01.945
Um, this was a joint effort, uh, between district staff, um,

1030
00:51:02.045 --> 00:51:04.345
the marketing team as well as TSG,

1031
00:51:04.365 --> 00:51:06.345
who is our technology solutions provider.

1032
00:51:06.845 --> 00:51:09.225
Um, and we did want to extend appreciation

1033
00:51:09.225 --> 00:51:11.465
to all parties involved to get this out.

1034
00:51:11.535 --> 00:51:15.345
It's a significant upgrade to what we, we had previously.

1035
00:51:16.375 --> 00:51:19.075
Um, we are continuing, um, to make tweaks to this.

1036
00:51:19.375 --> 00:51:21.835
Um, so as you can imagine, we had to do a crosswalk

1037
00:51:21.835 --> 00:51:23.195
of a significant amount

1038
00:51:23.195 --> 00:51:26.075
of information from the old platform to the new one.

1039
00:51:26.535 --> 00:51:29.075
Um, so we certainly appreciate everyone's assistance

1040
00:51:29.075 --> 00:51:32.075
that if you, if you can't identify something

1041
00:51:32.075 --> 00:51:34.435
or if you feel like something is missing, please let us know

1042
00:51:34.455 --> 00:51:37.635
as we continue to work through those, uh, minor issues.

1043
00:51:38.695 --> 00:51:43.035
Um, and we are already, the phase two is in the works.

1044
00:51:43.335 --> 00:51:46.275
Um, so this was just the initial launch of this. Okay.

1045
00:51:46.275 --> 00:51:48.795
This new and improved, um, website.

1046
00:51:49.215 --> 00:51:53.315
So some of the key features, um, are that anytime

1047
00:51:53.315 --> 00:51:57.675
that you see a logo, um, on the district, regardless of

1048
00:51:57.675 --> 00:51:59.115
where you are on the district webpage,

1049
00:51:59.135 --> 00:52:00.955
it will take you back to the homepage.

1050
00:52:01.055 --> 00:52:03.195
So you can, you can always click here.

1051
00:52:03.455 --> 00:52:06.035
Um, you don't have to use the back button to get back to

1052
00:52:06.495 --> 00:52:09.995
to home, um, at any time that you see a plus sign.

1053
00:52:10.255 --> 00:52:13.115
So, for example, under our core values here, um,

1054
00:52:13.115 --> 00:52:15.875
anytime there's a plus sign indicated, um, you can drop

1055
00:52:15.875 --> 00:52:17.715
that down for additional information

1056
00:52:18.815 --> 00:52:22.315
and the color does change as you, um, hover over that

1057
00:52:22.375 --> 00:52:24.755
so you know that you're clicking an active link from

1058
00:52:24.755 --> 00:52:26.075
that green to gold color.

1059
00:52:28.295 --> 00:52:32.315
Um, one of the unique items that we did add is that if you

1060
00:52:33.075 --> 00:52:34.875
navigate to districts, um,

1061
00:52:34.895 --> 00:52:37.395
you can use the Find my District tool

1062
00:52:37.395 --> 00:52:40.595
because as you can imagine, as we continue to grow, um,

1063
00:52:40.655 --> 00:52:42.235
we get questions regularly about

1064
00:52:42.235 --> 00:52:44.475
what district do I live in and what does that mean.

1065
00:52:45.415 --> 00:52:47.875
Um, so if we select the Find my District feature,

1066
00:52:49.985 --> 00:52:53.285
we can pull up, um, we're gonna use it.

1067
00:52:53.285 --> 00:52:55.405
Looks like Chapman is still saved in there

1068
00:52:55.465 --> 00:52:56.485
if I click on that.

1069
00:52:58.475 --> 00:53:01.335
So as long as you know, a portion of your street address,

1070
00:53:01.995 --> 00:53:04.335
you can identify the area by that.

1071
00:53:04.395 --> 00:53:07.935
So we're just gonna enter Chapman, we're gonna look this up

1072
00:53:08.275 --> 00:53:10.655
and you'll see that, um, this is in the village

1073
00:53:10.655 --> 00:53:14.335
of Hemingway, that in Sumter County and District seven.

1074
00:53:15.585 --> 00:53:16.685
Um, so, um,

1075
00:53:16.705 --> 00:53:18.365
the same would happen if it was a property

1076
00:53:18.365 --> 00:53:19.405
within District nine.

1077
00:53:19.935 --> 00:53:24.405
You'd click View district, um, hop over to to nine

1078
00:53:24.405 --> 00:53:26.365
to show your individual page.

1079
00:53:26.545 --> 00:53:31.485
But this is the page

1080
00:53:31.485 --> 00:53:32.685
that you would see pop up.

1081
00:53:32.835 --> 00:53:35.245
It's going to have all of your establishing ordinances

1082
00:53:35.245 --> 00:53:39.085
and overview of the district, um, meeting time, location.

1083
00:53:39.545 --> 00:53:42.845
All the agendas, um, are posted through this link.

1084
00:53:44.065 --> 00:53:46.085
Um, your quick fax,

1085
00:53:47.785 --> 00:53:50.605
and of course we have everyone's picture posted down here.

1086
00:53:51.755 --> 00:53:54.775
Um, with, you know, we, we do have a lot of activity

1087
00:53:54.775 --> 00:53:56.695
through the email US functions.

1088
00:53:56.915 --> 00:53:58.295
So what's nice about that is

1089
00:53:58.295 --> 00:53:59.855
that the residents don't necessarily have

1090
00:53:59.855 --> 00:54:02.055
to email individual supervisors.

1091
00:54:02.055 --> 00:54:05.415
They can hit email us and it will go to the entire board.

1092
00:54:09.795 --> 00:54:12.455
And then the same here, we're still working out some kinks,

1093
00:54:12.995 --> 00:54:16.375
um, with these icons for each supervisor's picture.

1094
00:54:16.515 --> 00:54:19.895
But this will pull up an individual, um, email account

1095
00:54:20.355 --> 00:54:22.735
or, um, the telephone number that you've elected

1096
00:54:22.755 --> 00:54:24.415
to have on record for the website.

1097
00:54:28.035 --> 00:54:31.405
Also on this page, um, we do include all of your,

1098
00:54:31.515 --> 00:54:34.165
your annual audit reports under the finance section,

1099
00:54:34.315 --> 00:54:35.845
your monthly financial statements.

1100
00:54:36.415 --> 00:54:38.365
Again, as long as you see that plus mark,

1101
00:54:38.465 --> 00:54:39.645
you can drop that down.

1102
00:54:40.265 --> 00:54:43.525
And all your historical information is there, um,

1103
00:54:44.395 --> 00:54:46.325
that the same is applied to your budget.

1104
00:54:47.225 --> 00:54:51.445
Um, deed compliance on here, you can report a violation, um,

1105
00:54:51.445 --> 00:54:52.805
using the this feature.

1106
00:54:53.505 --> 00:54:56.685
Um, and then if you, you're unsure of the, the unit, um,

1107
00:54:57.145 --> 00:54:59.445
or if you don't have a copy of your Declaration

1108
00:54:59.445 --> 00:55:03.485
of restrictions, um, you can drop that down, use your ID

1109
00:55:03.485 --> 00:55:04.765
to identify your unit

1110
00:55:04.905 --> 00:55:09.105
and then select, um, one of these hyperlinks

1111
00:55:09.105 --> 00:55:10.305
to view your declaration.

1112
00:55:10.885 --> 00:55:12.825
And then the same is broken out for the V unit

1113
00:55:19.205 --> 00:55:20.865
On the bottom of every page.

1114
00:55:21.125 --> 00:55:22.225
And I'll keep scrolling,

1115
00:55:22.225 --> 00:55:24.265
but the, there's the a RC information.

1116
00:55:24.765 --> 00:55:26.985
All of your policies and procedures are on here.

1117
00:55:27.445 --> 00:55:29.825
Um, I know there was a question pertaining to the, um,

1118
00:55:30.135 --> 00:55:31.345
fund balance policy and

1119
00:55:31.345 --> 00:55:34.225
that is included under the budget section, um,

1120
00:55:34.465 --> 00:55:35.705
district property management.

1121
00:55:36.085 --> 00:55:39.905
And then every page features these quick links

1122
00:55:40.055 --> 00:55:41.865
that are at the bottom of the page.

1123
00:55:42.485 --> 00:55:45.825
Um, so you can, you know, if you decide you wanna look

1124
00:55:45.825 --> 00:55:48.345
for guest IDs, you can navigate over there.

1125
00:55:49.365 --> 00:55:51.545
Um, again, using that top left hand logo

1126
00:55:51.975 --> 00:55:54.705
that will always take you back to that main homepage.

1127
00:55:56.895 --> 00:55:58.785
Then we also have the contact us.

1128
00:55:59.925 --> 00:56:01.865
Um, so when you select this, um, we.
