WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.315 --> 00:00:05.045
Okay, my clock says eight o'clock.

2
00:00:05.545 --> 00:00:08.365
So we will call the Villages Community Development,

3
00:00:08.645 --> 00:00:10.045
district one meeting to order.

4
00:00:10.865 --> 00:00:14.805
Uh, we have four of our supervisors present this morning,

5
00:00:15.585 --> 00:00:18.725
and, uh, we'll begin with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed

6
00:00:18.785 --> 00:00:20.085
by a moment of silence,

7
00:00:27.555 --> 00:00:31.805
Flag of the United States of Republic,

8
00:00:33.745 --> 00:00:37.325
one Nation under God liberty.

9
00:00:48.575 --> 00:00:49.045
Thank you.

10
00:00:58.865 --> 00:01:02.235
Okay. At this time, we'd like to welcome our attendees.

11
00:01:02.815 --> 00:01:05.555
If you have something that you'd like to address the board

12
00:01:05.555 --> 00:01:08.675
with, please come to the podium, give us your name

13
00:01:08.675 --> 00:01:09.955
and address for the record,

14
00:01:10.455 --> 00:01:12.635
and then give us your comments within about a

15
00:01:12.635 --> 00:01:13.835
three minute timeframe.

16
00:01:15.375 --> 00:01:17.755
So if anyone that wants to address the board, may,

17
00:01:17.895 --> 00:01:19.195
may come forward at this time.

18
00:01:23.895 --> 00:01:24.895
Yes, sir.

19
00:01:32.065 --> 00:01:35.115
Morning, my name is, uh, Bernie O'Donnell,

20
00:01:35.495 --> 00:01:38.155
and, uh, I've been involved with this issue

21
00:01:38.155 --> 00:01:39.395
of Lake Argo Lego.

22
00:01:39.575 --> 00:01:41.795
And I'd like to start out with a few comments.

23
00:01:42.115 --> 00:01:45.595
I want to thank the board, first of all, for supporting, uh,

24
00:01:45.705 --> 00:01:49.355
improving the Lake with Mike Junk in that next month.

25
00:01:50.535 --> 00:01:54.195
And, um, also I want to thank Carrie Duckett,

26
00:01:54.565 --> 00:01:56.875
who's the Deputy Property Manager,

27
00:01:57.735 --> 00:02:00.875
who I think has been very instrumental in providing some

28
00:02:00.875 --> 00:02:04.555
help within Property Manager to get some action on

29
00:02:04.555 --> 00:02:07.035
This In terms of conclusions.

30
00:02:07.095 --> 00:02:11.435
But I understand now, this weekend, somebody from Elite Pro,

31
00:02:11.585 --> 00:02:14.315
I've never heard of them, is supposedly coming in

32
00:02:14.335 --> 00:02:16.395
to remove the junk from the lake that,

33
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:20.035
that's Brian Mellinger sent me an email on, which is great.

34
00:02:20.855 --> 00:02:24.075
Uh, the people doing the chemical processing are

35
00:02:24.425 --> 00:02:25.755
basically Cross Creek.

36
00:02:26.625 --> 00:02:28.955
Unfortunately, I feel they're the same people

37
00:02:29.185 --> 00:02:30.715
that have been involved in the past,

38
00:02:31.495 --> 00:02:33.515
and I have, I think, a legitimate concern

39
00:02:34.525 --> 00:02:36.395
about whether they're going to do,

40
00:02:36.615 --> 00:02:39.395
or whether they're even paid to do the things need

41
00:02:39.395 --> 00:02:41.555
to be done to prevent this problem

42
00:02:42.055 --> 00:02:43.555
of junk in the lake occurring.

43
00:02:44.615 --> 00:02:49.035
Um, it's a complicated problem. Uh, getting rid of hydro.

44
00:02:49.835 --> 00:02:51.075
I think the board's decision

45
00:02:51.095 --> 00:02:53.035
to put carp in there was very good.

46
00:02:53.615 --> 00:02:56.035
That's probably the most strongest thing to do.

47
00:02:56.615 --> 00:02:58.195
But there is chemical processing,

48
00:02:58.575 --> 00:02:59.925
and I've talked to several people

49
00:02:59.945 --> 00:03:03.085
and it, sometimes it gets expensive chemical processing

50
00:03:03.345 --> 00:03:04.365
to get rid of this hydro.

51
00:03:05.985 --> 00:03:09.645
I'm just concerned that the right amount of effort

52
00:03:09.945 --> 00:03:13.325
and funding for the, uh, people

53
00:03:13.465 --> 00:03:15.605
who are actually Cross Creek is doing this,

54
00:03:15.955 --> 00:03:17.085
that they're the same people

55
00:03:17.085 --> 00:03:18.405
that have been doing it all along.

56
00:03:19.525 --> 00:03:22.945
I'm concerned because the problem has been going on for six

57
00:03:22.945 --> 00:03:25.385
or eight months with the chemical processing,

58
00:03:25.385 --> 00:03:26.905
and it frankly has not worked.

59
00:03:27.765 --> 00:03:30.665
So I don't know how well their contract has been modified.

60
00:03:31.385 --> 00:03:32.585
I think we need some straight answers,

61
00:03:32.965 --> 00:03:34.425
and I think it's gonna take some time.

62
00:03:35.705 --> 00:03:38.465
I have questions in here that I could leave off at the end

63
00:03:38.465 --> 00:03:42.305
of the meeting for the board to ponder on

64
00:03:42.405 --> 00:03:44.865
and perhaps get, uh, more importantly,

65
00:03:44.885 --> 00:03:47.865
to get the property management to, to respond

66
00:03:47.865 --> 00:03:48.945
to in a timely fashion.

67
00:03:49.225 --> 00:03:50.825
I do think it's gonna take some time.

68
00:03:51.805 --> 00:03:54.065
I'm just interested in what they're already doing different

69
00:03:54.605 --> 00:03:56.065
and how they're analyzing stuff,

70
00:03:56.065 --> 00:03:58.905
because it's not easy to get rid of a drone.

71
00:03:59.265 --> 00:04:00.465
I think that's a true statement.

72
00:04:01.105 --> 00:04:03.145
I just don't want to see it happen again. Thank you.

73
00:04:03.355 --> 00:04:04.025
Thank you, sir.

74
00:04:11.725 --> 00:04:12.625
Anyone else?

75
00:04:16.695 --> 00:04:18.745
Okay. Not seeing any. We will move along.

76
00:04:19.485 --> 00:04:21.745
Uh, next on our new business, we have the,

77
00:04:21.745 --> 00:04:22.905
uh, approval of minutes.

78
00:04:29.045 --> 00:04:30.905
If you've had time to, uh, review those,

79
00:04:30.995 --> 00:04:33.025
we'll entertain a motion or discussion.

80
00:04:33.325 --> 00:04:34.545
Motion to approve the minutes.

81
00:04:34.885 --> 00:04:36.625
Second. I have a motion and a second.

82
00:04:36.725 --> 00:04:39.185
All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed?

83
00:04:39.445 --> 00:04:41.025
Motion carries unanimously.

84
00:04:42.485 --> 00:04:45.425
Uh, the next item on our new business is a, um,

85
00:04:46.085 --> 00:04:49.025
agenda request that I put forward, um,

86
00:04:49.055 --> 00:04:51.865
because we've had some openings on this board

87
00:04:52.405 --> 00:04:53.545
in the past few months,

88
00:04:53.805 --> 00:04:58.425
and, um, I realized that we didn't necessarily communicate

89
00:04:58.425 --> 00:05:03.185
to our citizens that, uh, the,

90
00:05:03.325 --> 00:05:07.545
the desired job description or the job description and the,

91
00:05:07.565 --> 00:05:11.545
and the skills that would be beneficial to this board, uh,

92
00:05:11.725 --> 00:05:13.065
in replacing candidates

93
00:05:13.065 --> 00:05:15.305
or even electing candidates for that matter.

94
00:05:15.845 --> 00:05:19.185
Uh, so I undertook a little project there while I was board

95
00:05:19.455 --> 00:05:22.025
over a weekend, and I put together some, uh,

96
00:05:22.215 --> 00:05:25.105
some information, uh, for our, um,

97
00:05:26.055 --> 00:05:30.585
potential candidates, uh, so that at least coming forward,

98
00:05:31.045 --> 00:05:34.465
uh, people understand the, uh, the job description itself

99
00:05:35.405 --> 00:05:40.345
and, uh, and also, uh, some of the desirable skills that,

100
00:05:40.345 --> 00:05:42.745
that we may have, uh, as a board.

101
00:05:42.845 --> 00:05:44.345
I'm not going to go over all of those,

102
00:05:44.525 --> 00:05:49.385
but, um, uh, the, the basic concept is to, uh,

103
00:05:49.745 --> 00:05:52.145
identify the, uh, foundational qualifications

104
00:05:52.175 --> 00:05:56.505
that people have matters like integrity and, and ethics

105
00:05:56.725 --> 00:06:00.885
and, uh, strategic thinking, uh, being able to, uh, to work

106
00:06:01.385 --> 00:06:02.805
as a team, those kind of things.

107
00:06:03.025 --> 00:06:07.685
As well as specialized skills that benefit the overall, uh,

108
00:06:07.685 --> 00:06:12.205
group effort when it comes to, uh, to dealing with contracts

109
00:06:12.225 --> 00:06:14.925
and landscaping and, and those kind of things.

110
00:06:15.085 --> 00:06:18.525
People that have backgrounds in, in those kind of, uh,

111
00:06:18.525 --> 00:06:20.565
things can benefit this board

112
00:06:20.565 --> 00:06:23.045
because that's a lot of the things that we deal with.

113
00:06:23.385 --> 00:06:26.285
So, um, that's what I've, uh, put forward

114
00:06:26.385 --> 00:06:27.565
for your consideration

115
00:06:27.585 --> 00:06:30.525
and I'll certainly entertain your comments, uh,

116
00:06:30.585 --> 00:06:32.405
or any suggestions that you may have

117
00:06:34.545 --> 00:06:35.845
and how we want move forward.

118
00:06:36.745 --> 00:06:40.125
Do you have this in paper form by chance?

119
00:06:41.205 --> 00:06:43.205
I do not have it in paper form.

120
00:06:44.025 --> 00:06:46.045
We can provide it to you to take with you

121
00:06:46.045 --> 00:06:47.405
after the meeting if you'd like. Okay.

122
00:06:47.475 --> 00:06:49.645
Okay. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty difficult too.

123
00:06:52.795 --> 00:06:54.565
It's A lot of information in there. I think

124
00:06:54.565 --> 00:06:55.565
It was well read.

125
00:06:55.665 --> 00:06:58.845
Yes, it is. There's a lot of information in there.

126
00:07:00.235 --> 00:07:02.925
Sometimes when I get started, I don't know when to stop.

127
00:07:03.025 --> 00:07:04.025
So there you,

128
00:07:05.315 --> 00:07:09.485
Well, I do have one overall comment on this, um,

129
00:07:10.575 --> 00:07:15.165
topic, uh, regarding the overall makeup

130
00:07:15.905 --> 00:07:17.165
of each board.

131
00:07:17.225 --> 00:07:19.885
And it doesn't apply only to district one,

132
00:07:19.985 --> 00:07:23.685
but to all the districts, it might be ideal.

133
00:07:24.065 --> 00:07:27.485
It would be ideal to have a mix

134
00:07:28.705 --> 00:07:32.885
of various types of backgrounds and skills.

135
00:07:33.705 --> 00:07:36.085
For example, construction

136
00:07:36.465 --> 00:07:40.525
and urban planning is important, business is important,

137
00:07:40.905 --> 00:07:44.445
and so on, in addition to the ethics

138
00:07:44.585 --> 00:07:48.725
and other strategic planning and so on that you mentioned.

139
00:07:48.905 --> 00:07:52.925
Mm-hmm. And, um, not

140
00:07:52.925 --> 00:07:56.405
that a board couldn't be successful without that mix

141
00:07:56.405 --> 00:07:58.885
because people can do research

142
00:07:59.185 --> 00:08:03.165
and reach out to others with the key expertise that's needed

143
00:08:03.305 --> 00:08:04.685
for a particular issue,

144
00:08:05.545 --> 00:08:08.805
but to have it on the board, I just remember

145
00:08:09.395 --> 00:08:14.325
when Kathy Porter was here, she was a master gardener

146
00:08:14.865 --> 00:08:18.045
and anything to do with weeds

147
00:08:18.425 --> 00:08:21.445
or, uh, bodies of water

148
00:08:21.825 --> 00:08:25.685
and so on, she just, you know, picked up

149
00:08:25.785 --> 00:08:27.405
and told us everything.

150
00:08:27.585 --> 00:08:29.445
She had written several books on it

151
00:08:30.425 --> 00:08:32.925
and, um, our friend here

152
00:08:33.935 --> 00:08:36.885
knows an awful lot about water

153
00:08:37.345 --> 00:08:40.485
and construction and so on.

154
00:08:41.345 --> 00:08:43.365
So, uh, just to consideration.

155
00:08:44.315 --> 00:08:44.605
Okay.

156
00:08:48.985 --> 00:08:49.725
Any other comments?

157
00:08:50.795 --> 00:08:51.795
Alright.

158
00:08:55.535 --> 00:08:58.245
Staff have any particular feeling on this?

159
00:08:59.845 --> 00:09:01.245
I, I think it's a great idea.

160
00:09:01.585 --> 00:09:06.365
Um, I think that a lot of residents don't really understand

161
00:09:06.395 --> 00:09:07.485
what the board does,

162
00:09:07.825 --> 00:09:10.685
and this gives them a little bit more of an insight as to

163
00:09:10.875 --> 00:09:14.405
what your roles and responsibilities are

164
00:09:14.425 --> 00:09:16.765
before they apply for a supervisor position.

165
00:09:17.225 --> 00:09:20.325
Um, so certainly I think any, any information

166
00:09:20.325 --> 00:09:22.845
that we can give residents who may be interested

167
00:09:23.505 --> 00:09:24.605
is a great idea.

168
00:09:25.105 --> 00:09:28.045
We can certainly post this on your website, um,

169
00:09:28.345 --> 00:09:32.605
either only when you're seeking new supervisors

170
00:09:32.685 --> 00:09:34.365
or we can do it all of the time.

171
00:09:34.435 --> 00:09:37.565
That way they have an idea of, um, again,

172
00:09:37.565 --> 00:09:38.925
what it means to be a board member.

173
00:09:38.945 --> 00:09:41.005
But I, I think it's a great idea.

174
00:09:41.925 --> 00:09:44.245
I think, uh, potential candidates on any

175
00:09:44.245 --> 00:09:48.885
of these boards comes with a frequency idea of

176
00:09:48.885 --> 00:09:53.405
what the meaning is of the title of the board,

177
00:09:54.345 --> 00:09:58.165
and you are the first ones that, you know, get hit with the,

178
00:09:58.985 --> 00:10:03.965
uh, request to have a little more of a summation of

179
00:10:03.995 --> 00:10:05.325
what, what goes on.

180
00:10:06.185 --> 00:10:08.165
And so, uh, that's why I asked the question.

181
00:10:10.515 --> 00:10:12.565
Okay. Good question.

182
00:10:13.105 --> 00:10:17.445
And to, uh, further that having those,

183
00:10:18.705 --> 00:10:22.205
uh, guidelines published in the Daily Sun

184
00:10:22.265 --> 00:10:25.405
or the Village News would be good power plays

185
00:10:25.865 --> 00:10:29.765
or whatever column would be terrific. Yes, ma'am.

186
00:10:30.675 --> 00:10:33.925
That would be a good idea. Okay.

187
00:10:36.345 --> 00:10:40.925
So I just need

188
00:10:40.925 --> 00:10:42.965
to know if the board wants to move forward with, with

189
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:47.325
what we, we presented here, uh, to help

190
00:10:47.875 --> 00:10:49.085
recruit people

191
00:10:49.225 --> 00:10:53.565
or at least, um, educate people about what the job entails

192
00:10:54.185 --> 00:10:55.445
and, and what we do.

193
00:10:55.585 --> 00:10:59.245
Do we wanna put it on our website as a matter of reference,

194
00:10:59.785 --> 00:11:00.845
as well as information?

195
00:11:01.025 --> 00:11:04.965
Or, or does it need more work? That's what I'm asking.

196
00:11:07.165 --> 00:11:11.125
I think the manner of communication is the key there.

197
00:11:11.665 --> 00:11:14.205
If you have in the news, more people read the

198
00:11:14.205 --> 00:11:15.365
newspaper than watch it.

199
00:11:15.445 --> 00:11:19.565
I, we don't know. Yeah. But

200
00:11:20.005 --> 00:11:21.405
I think it's a great idea

201
00:11:21.945 --> 00:11:24.965
and I'm a big fan of executive summaries

202
00:11:25.065 --> 00:11:27.365
and then if somebody wants to dig in further,

203
00:11:28.155 --> 00:11:31.205
have the resource available for them to do that.

204
00:11:31.875 --> 00:11:34.325
Okay. Alright.

205
00:11:35.085 --> 00:11:37.165
I think we your consensus on the board,

206
00:11:37.185 --> 00:11:38.245
so we'll move forward with that.

207
00:11:38.695 --> 00:11:43.605
Thank you. All right.

208
00:11:43.605 --> 00:11:46.885
Moving along. We are, uh, going to interview candidates

209
00:11:46.985 --> 00:11:50.285
for the, uh, current vacant seat, uh, that we have.

210
00:11:50.285 --> 00:11:51.445
That's seat number one.

211
00:11:52.505 --> 00:11:54.725
And, uh, we have three candidates today.

212
00:11:55.185 --> 00:11:58.565
And I'll start by saying to those three candidates, uh,

213
00:11:58.575 --> 00:12:01.245
thank you very much for your interest in this board

214
00:12:01.865 --> 00:12:04.725
and we certainly appreciate you applying for that.

215
00:12:05.625 --> 00:12:08.125
Uh, we will interview the candidates in, uh,

216
00:12:08.395 --> 00:12:10.365
what looks like alphabetical order.

217
00:12:11.145 --> 00:12:14.925
So, uh, the first candidate we'll interview is Cindy Bowen,

218
00:12:15.665 --> 00:12:17.645
or if you prefer, we'll call you Cynthia.

219
00:12:22.875 --> 00:12:26.605
Alright. I don't see Cynthia Bowen. One more time.

220
00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:29.405
Cynthia Bowen. Cindy Bowen.

221
00:12:30.555 --> 00:12:33.685
Alright, we'll move along to Brian Goodman,

222
00:12:33.695 --> 00:12:35.805
would you please step forward to the podium, sir?

223
00:12:42.435 --> 00:12:43.165
Good morning. Welcome.

224
00:12:47.195 --> 00:12:50.485
Good morning, sir. Uh, we'll, we'll start with, uh,

225
00:12:50.665 --> 00:12:52.405
an opportunity for you to, uh,

226
00:12:52.405 --> 00:12:53.805
introduce yourself a little bit.

227
00:12:54.145 --> 00:12:56.125
We do have your, uh, your application

228
00:12:56.125 --> 00:12:57.405
and resume in front of us.

229
00:12:57.995 --> 00:12:59.485
Okay. My name is Brian Goodman.

230
00:12:59.525 --> 00:13:02.405
I live at five 15 Carrera in Ella Vista West.

231
00:13:03.065 --> 00:13:06.285
Uh, I've lived here since October of 2022.

232
00:13:07.305 --> 00:13:10.645
And, uh, in the course of doing the resident acade

233
00:13:10.945 --> 00:13:14.005
and CDD orientation, um,

234
00:13:14.785 --> 00:13:18.325
got an interest in, um, in public service.

235
00:13:18.865 --> 00:13:23.005
Uh, my career was in public service as a, uh, really a,

236
00:13:23.145 --> 00:13:26.645
as a council to a, a large, uh, pension fund.

237
00:13:27.225 --> 00:13:30.245
So I'm used to governmental accounting, I'm used

238
00:13:30.245 --> 00:13:32.085
to governmental things.

239
00:13:32.625 --> 00:13:35.245
And so, uh, I think it would be an honor

240
00:13:35.245 --> 00:13:39.045
and pleasure to, uh, serve the community here as, uh,

241
00:13:39.225 --> 00:13:40.485
at this point supervisor.

242
00:13:40.715 --> 00:13:45.485
Alright. If I can take a second, let me echo the, uh, I,

243
00:13:45.685 --> 00:13:48.725
I really, really found the, um, job title

244
00:13:48.985 --> 00:13:51.405
and summary useful in there.

245
00:13:51.865 --> 00:13:54.605
You did leave out can lead to, to building

246
00:13:54.675 --> 00:13:56.845
that a single bound, but that's okay.

247
00:13:56.905 --> 00:13:58.285
We can go without that, but,

248
00:13:58.285 --> 00:13:59.925
but I wanted to commend you on on that

249
00:13:59.925 --> 00:14:02.485
because it's a very helpful document

250
00:14:02.985 --> 00:14:07.285
and I think it would be nice to, uh, to global search

251
00:14:07.305 --> 00:14:09.405
and replace that with other districts too

252
00:14:09.665 --> 00:14:11.445
and just have them as an advance.

253
00:14:11.815 --> 00:14:14.365
Thank you, sir. Alright, we'll, uh,

254
00:14:14.415 --> 00:14:15.725
start with the board's questions.

255
00:14:15.785 --> 00:14:17.005
Ms. Cora, do you have questions,

256
00:14:17.385 --> 00:14:18.385
Mr. Oh, sure.

257
00:14:18.385 --> 00:14:22.965
You'll have only lived here a short while

258
00:14:23.135 --> 00:14:25.725
since late in 2022.

259
00:14:26.475 --> 00:14:30.045
Have you had a chance to get involved at all in

260
00:14:30.725 --> 00:14:32.245
governmental stuff

261
00:14:32.585 --> 00:14:35.365
or, uh, anything in your individual

262
00:14:35.555 --> 00:14:37.005
community with your neighbors?

263
00:14:37.715 --> 00:14:40.365
Well, I, I do coordinate the communication

264
00:14:40.465 --> 00:14:42.445
within Ella Vista West.

265
00:14:42.705 --> 00:14:45.165
So I, I have a mailing list

266
00:14:45.225 --> 00:14:48.965
and then when issues come up, uh, I will communicate.

267
00:14:49.075 --> 00:14:51.645
I'll send those out and, uh,

268
00:14:52.425 --> 00:14:55.165
and inform the, our, uh, neighborhood about things.

269
00:14:55.625 --> 00:14:59.285
We also had neighborhood meetings when, um, uh,

270
00:14:59.305 --> 00:15:01.525
we talked about different issues and stuff,

271
00:15:02.185 --> 00:15:06.845
and I was also, uh, interested in the, uh,

272
00:15:07.225 --> 00:15:09.645
issues that were surrounding the, uh,

273
00:15:09.835 --> 00:15:11.125
amenity authority committee.

274
00:15:11.825 --> 00:15:14.285
So I came to several of those meetings

275
00:15:14.305 --> 00:15:18.205
and then I, I've been to, uh, district one meetings as well

276
00:15:18.505 --> 00:15:22.845
and all of that together has peaked my interest in that now

277
00:15:22.845 --> 00:15:25.485
that there's an opening I think that I can, uh,

278
00:15:25.535 --> 00:15:27.365
contribute in this past year.

279
00:15:27.365 --> 00:15:30.445
Yes. Are you aware of the fact

280
00:15:30.475 --> 00:15:32.405
that I think I could be wrong.

281
00:15:32.515 --> 00:15:34.125
I'll have to ask the attorney.

282
00:15:35.025 --> 00:15:38.605
Uh, are you aware of the fact that our biggest

283
00:15:39.985 --> 00:15:41.805
charge, if you want to put it that way,

284
00:15:42.185 --> 00:15:43.765
as it appeals process

285
00:15:45.145 --> 00:15:47.325
for things like architectural review

286
00:15:47.505 --> 00:15:50.565
and, uh, decision I made,

287
00:15:50.625 --> 00:15:55.525
and we have to learn

288
00:15:55.585 --> 00:15:56.965
how to use a microphone,

289
00:16:00.105 --> 00:16:03.125
but I, uh, and so we,

290
00:16:03.345 --> 00:16:06.445
we deviate a lot from an appeals process,

291
00:16:06.865 --> 00:16:10.885
but, uh, I think that was the initial, uh,

292
00:16:11.795 --> 00:16:13.445
goal of the, uh,

293
00:16:15.025 --> 00:16:17.125
or of our functions,

294
00:16:18.265 --> 00:16:19.925
and I could be wrong, some

295
00:16:19.925 --> 00:16:23.245
that's been here longer than I might add to that

296
00:16:23.465 --> 00:16:26.525
or say, well, it's, that's only one I'm sure.

297
00:16:30.435 --> 00:16:33.885
Well, I am familiar with the administrative appeal process.

298
00:16:34.545 --> 00:16:39.285
Um, I conducted, uh, I don't know, probably hundreds of,

299
00:16:39.345 --> 00:16:43.925
um, such types of appeal hearings for in,

300
00:16:44.025 --> 00:16:48.085
in the context of a retirement system, basically denials

301
00:16:48.105 --> 00:16:49.725
of disability, retirement

302
00:16:49.725 --> 00:16:53.005
or denials of other types of, uh, benefits

303
00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:54.085
that were appealed.

304
00:16:54.665 --> 00:16:56.245
And, uh, of course it was in Virginia,

305
00:16:56.305 --> 00:16:58.925
but, um, I assume that

306
00:16:59.665 --> 00:17:03.045
it would be variations on a theme here in, in Florida.

307
00:17:03.745 --> 00:17:06.405
And fortunately there's an attorney over there who's

308
00:17:06.605 --> 00:17:08.805
licensed in Florida who can help us out a lot.

309
00:17:09.115 --> 00:17:11.605
Yeah, okay.

310
00:17:12.765 --> 00:17:14.765
I, I see that you spent some, uh, quite

311
00:17:14.765 --> 00:17:15.765
A bit of time with the Legal Affairs

312
00:17:15.825 --> 00:17:18.325
and compliance as a compliance coordinator.

313
00:17:18.585 --> 00:17:19.685
What's something that,

314
00:17:20.525 --> 00:17:22.205
I know you've done a lot of lot there.

315
00:17:22.505 --> 00:17:23.725
What's one or two things

316
00:17:23.755 --> 00:17:26.805
that really stands out the most rewarding thing

317
00:17:26.805 --> 00:17:29.805
that you've done during that time?

318
00:17:30.545 --> 00:17:33.965
Um, one of the more rewarding things was, um,

319
00:17:34.825 --> 00:17:39.245
in structuring some of the reports that went to the

320
00:17:39.775 --> 00:17:41.885
retirement system Board of Trustees.

321
00:17:42.745 --> 00:17:47.045
Um, I put together a, uh, a sheet,

322
00:17:47.065 --> 00:17:50.085
it was called a, um, a board action,

323
00:17:50.285 --> 00:17:51.645
a Request for Board Action.

324
00:17:52.345 --> 00:17:56.805
And it just had a big box of, of, uh, bold,

325
00:17:57.295 --> 00:18:01.045
large type, which asked, which stated the action

326
00:18:01.155 --> 00:18:03.325
that the board was designed to take.

327
00:18:03.785 --> 00:18:07.125
And underneath it would be a summary of it, description

328
00:18:07.285 --> 00:18:09.205
and background of the, uh, case

329
00:18:09.705 --> 00:18:12.525
and then the legal authority for the board to take

330
00:18:12.525 --> 00:18:13.565
that certain action.

331
00:18:14.185 --> 00:18:15.925
And, uh, that is still in you.

332
00:18:16.345 --> 00:18:19.645
So, um, so that was rewarding because you see it over

333
00:18:19.645 --> 00:18:22.485
and over you go, you can almost say, Hey, I did that.

334
00:18:22.785 --> 00:18:24.405
But, um, that,

335
00:18:24.585 --> 00:18:27.525
and, uh, also, um,

336
00:18:29.865 --> 00:18:34.125
in, in, I wish I had the transcript with me,

337
00:18:34.145 --> 00:18:38.685
but one time I was at a, a hearing in circuit court and, uh,

338
00:18:38.785 --> 00:18:42.605
and the judge said to the person who was,

339
00:18:43.025 --> 00:18:47.925
who was appealing a decision, you are very,

340
00:18:47.925 --> 00:18:50.205
very fortunate to have this gentleman

341
00:18:50.805 --> 00:18:52.485
representing the retirement system here.

342
00:18:52.785 --> 00:18:54.685
You know, we basically, we basically,

343
00:18:54.915 --> 00:18:56.645
that really gave her a do over,

344
00:18:57.265 --> 00:19:01.605
but I saw an opportunity to say, Hey, let's send this back

345
00:19:01.625 --> 00:19:03.085
and get this looked at again,

346
00:19:03.455 --> 00:19:06.605
where the alternative would've been, no, you're done.

347
00:19:07.155 --> 00:19:09.845
It's over. And, and the judge pointed that out.

348
00:19:09.955 --> 00:19:10.965
It's very rewarding

349
00:19:10.965 --> 00:19:13.365
because I think my statement was,

350
00:19:14.505 --> 00:19:15.685
I'm not here to win, judge.

351
00:19:15.785 --> 00:19:19.205
I'm here to get it right. And, uh, that was very rewarding.

352
00:19:20.855 --> 00:19:21.855
Thank you.

353
00:19:23.345 --> 00:19:28.245
Um, what would be your foremost priority

354
00:19:28.945 --> 00:19:31.325
as a CDD one board member?

355
00:19:33.565 --> 00:19:35.365
I think, I think the first thing is,

356
00:19:35.465 --> 00:19:38.525
is fill in probably the gaps that I,

357
00:19:38.725 --> 00:19:40.365
I have in knowledge now, as

358
00:19:40.505 --> 00:19:41.565
before pointed out,

359
00:19:42.545 --> 00:19:44.085
you can't learn everything in three years.

360
00:19:44.505 --> 00:19:47.125
Um, but there would be gaps in knowledge.

361
00:19:47.965 --> 00:19:52.885
I think the other is to realize that,

362
00:19:53.025 --> 00:19:56.805
um, district one, as the, as the first one established,

363
00:19:57.825 --> 00:19:59.605
we are gonna be in a phase

364
00:20:00.055 --> 00:20:02.085
where the other districts aren't in

365
00:20:02.085 --> 00:20:05.565
that we're not looking at, we're looking less at repair

366
00:20:05.745 --> 00:20:09.205
and more at replacement because after 30 years,

367
00:20:09.825 --> 00:20:14.205
and I think one of the things to look at is to see the other

368
00:20:15.095 --> 00:20:18.835
dozen 15 districts, they've had a chance

369
00:20:18.975 --> 00:20:22.315
to learn from what happened in District one

370
00:20:23.295 --> 00:20:25.035
and say, well, this is a good idea.

371
00:20:25.145 --> 00:20:27.715
That was not such a good idea. Let's do this.

372
00:20:27.765 --> 00:20:31.275
Let's not do that. I think District one is in the same

373
00:20:31.475 --> 00:20:33.795
position now to look at those others

374
00:20:33.865 --> 00:20:35.115
that have learned from us

375
00:20:35.455 --> 00:20:38.715
and say, okay, once we're in a spot where we're going to

376
00:20:39.385 --> 00:20:42.035
replace things or do something a little different,

377
00:20:42.585 --> 00:20:45.955
what did they learn that we can put in here?

378
00:20:46.375 --> 00:20:50.245
And I think that the Nucleus staff that has gone through

379
00:20:50.245 --> 00:20:52.125
that transition can come back

380
00:20:52.145 --> 00:20:53.725
and say, Hey,

381
00:20:53.725 --> 00:20:56.405
we think we have a better idea when this needs to be replaced.

382
00:20:56.565 --> 00:20:57.925
I think we have a better idea when

383
00:20:57.925 --> 00:20:59.125
this needs to be repaired.

384
00:20:59.425 --> 00:21:02.725
And I think that's uppermost if we're, we're, are in kind

385
00:21:02.725 --> 00:21:06.365
of a unique position, I think everybody above four sixty six

386
00:21:07.265 --> 00:21:09.445
is, um, let's call it mature.

387
00:21:10.075 --> 00:21:15.045
Okay. Uh, so I, I think that's the highest priority. Ms.

388
00:21:15.045 --> 00:21:16.605
Court, you,

389
00:21:17.825 --> 00:21:21.805
Um, in the limited number

390
00:21:21.805 --> 00:21:24.285
of board meetings that you've attended,

391
00:21:25.205 --> 00:21:27.845
I think you get some overall sense of

392
00:21:28.195 --> 00:21:29.845
what we're about and so on.

393
00:21:30.385 --> 00:21:34.685
Is there anything that stands out as something you disagree

394
00:21:34.685 --> 00:21:39.405
with procedurally or something you think we could do better?

395
00:21:39.905 --> 00:21:44.085
And we're not sensitive to criticism. We're very open to it.

396
00:21:44.385 --> 00:21:48.405
So no, I, if I do with all elected officials, I thank them

397
00:21:48.425 --> 00:21:51.325
for doing a thankless job, which, which will say,

398
00:21:51.325 --> 00:21:53.085
well then why do you want to go sit in that chair?

399
00:21:53.185 --> 00:21:56.405
But, um, but I think it's a good chance for, uh, service.

400
00:21:57.595 --> 00:22:00.205
What, um, what I think I'd like

401
00:22:00.205 --> 00:22:03.205
to see if maybe borrow something from, uh,

402
00:22:03.675 --> 00:22:06.965
from District four district Deon has a communication,

403
00:22:07.105 --> 00:22:10.405
you know, he'll have a question and answer period.

404
00:22:10.545 --> 00:22:13.045
And I think, I don't know whether it needs

405
00:22:13.045 --> 00:22:17.405
to be the whole board or, um, I could conduct one.

406
00:22:17.545 --> 00:22:18.925
We probably can't have the whole board.

407
00:22:18.985 --> 00:22:20.965
We will run a following Sunshine Laws,

408
00:22:21.105 --> 00:22:25.045
but I would like to be able to communicate, um,

409
00:22:27.075 --> 00:22:28.125
just the issues

410
00:22:28.385 --> 00:22:31.005
and the resolutions, issues that arise at a meeting.

411
00:22:31.005 --> 00:22:34.725
Because as we look out, there's 25 people here perhaps,

412
00:22:34.945 --> 00:22:38.605
but there's, you know, we may have 3,500 people

413
00:22:38.675 --> 00:22:39.725
that are in the district

414
00:22:39.985 --> 00:22:42.805
and give them another opportunity to at least learn

415
00:22:43.025 --> 00:22:47.085
or maybe even a more convenient, uh, venue

416
00:22:47.425 --> 00:22:49.285
and time for them to, uh,

417
00:22:49.675 --> 00:22:51.525
hear about what's going on in the community

418
00:22:51.545 --> 00:22:53.845
and get that feedback pro and time.

419
00:22:55.155 --> 00:22:59.525
Okay. Anymore, do you feel that the, uh,

420
00:23:00.335 --> 00:23:04.005
staff responsibilities are to coordinate, for example,

421
00:23:04.075 --> 00:23:05.405
what does Center District do?

422
00:23:05.435 --> 00:23:07.165
What does District one do?

423
00:23:07.825 --> 00:23:12.205
Do you have any kind of sessions where you say there's

424
00:23:13.115 --> 00:23:16.405
interaction here or the same problems it gets over a

425
00:23:16.405 --> 00:23:18.005
year, maybe ahead of time?

426
00:23:18.185 --> 00:23:20.565
What's happening in the District 10

427
00:23:20.595 --> 00:23:23.005
that maybe has already been foregone

428
00:23:24.105 --> 00:23:26.205
and certainly in Center district?

429
00:23:27.715 --> 00:23:32.365
Certainly, um, probably Decompliance

430
00:23:32.425 --> 00:23:34.285
and Architectural Review is the,

431
00:23:34.385 --> 00:23:35.925
the biggest example of that.

432
00:23:36.395 --> 00:23:40.485
When things start, um, or trends start changing down south,

433
00:23:40.665 --> 00:23:45.525
and we have residents who see new, um, home types or,

434
00:23:45.745 --> 00:23:48.925
or styles when it comes to how they decorate the outside,

435
00:23:49.345 --> 00:23:50.765
we come back to this board

436
00:23:50.785 --> 00:23:53.445
and others to, um, for your consideration to,

437
00:23:53.705 --> 00:23:55.525
to determine if that's something you want

438
00:23:55.525 --> 00:23:56.965
to allow within your district.

439
00:23:57.425 --> 00:23:59.845
So we certainly take what's happening in other areas

440
00:24:00.305 --> 00:24:04.245
and at least give you that information to consider if

441
00:24:04.245 --> 00:24:05.405
that's something you would like to

442
00:24:06.235 --> 00:24:07.805
institute within your district.

443
00:24:08.825 --> 00:24:09.825
Yes, sir.

444
00:24:11.715 --> 00:24:16.285
Okay. Any more questions, Mike?

445
00:24:17.515 --> 00:24:19.765
Okay. Uh, I have one last question.

446
00:24:20.125 --> 00:24:23.805
I guess Mr. Goodman, um, just tell me what

447
00:24:26.675 --> 00:24:29.765
your definition of being a representative

448
00:24:30.105 --> 00:24:31.645
of the people means to you.

449
00:24:33.865 --> 00:24:38.125
Uh, I'm real familiar with the idea of a fiduciary duty

450
00:24:38.125 --> 00:24:42.405
because I teach it, I taught it to our, the board as I,

451
00:24:42.505 --> 00:24:43.845
in my earlier career.

452
00:24:44.665 --> 00:24:49.245
And I see the supervisors in a similar position as those

453
00:24:49.265 --> 00:24:53.565
of fiduciary to the community in that my

454
00:24:54.165 --> 00:24:55.365
personal needs

455
00:24:55.505 --> 00:24:58.485
and goals do not take precedence over those

456
00:24:58.545 --> 00:24:59.765
of the whole community.

457
00:25:00.345 --> 00:25:03.005
Um, and, uh, I'm not naive.

458
00:25:03.385 --> 00:25:06.925
I'm not gonna make everybody happy, but you have to look at

459
00:25:07.185 --> 00:25:11.245
and help people to understand that the decisions

460
00:25:11.245 --> 00:25:14.765
that you make or the votes that you take are based on

461
00:25:14.765 --> 00:25:18.405
what you see will benefit the community as a whole.

462
00:25:19.265 --> 00:25:22.525
And, um, I mean, every once in a while you'd have to,

463
00:25:23.175 --> 00:25:26.645
you'd have to be parochial in the, in the sense that

464
00:25:27.165 --> 00:25:30.685
I saw the action about, uh, the screen, um,

465
00:25:30.695 --> 00:25:33.845
right in the village so that it, it, uh,

466
00:25:34.265 --> 00:25:37.245
it affects a very small group within the district,

467
00:25:38.305 --> 00:25:40.005
but then by the same token, those

468
00:25:40.005 --> 00:25:42.485
that would affect everybody, you just have to make sure

469
00:25:42.715 --> 00:25:47.125
that people understand that you are doing your best

470
00:25:47.185 --> 00:25:49.445
to look out for the community as a whole

471
00:25:50.025 --> 00:25:53.685
and not just yourself or your neighbors,

472
00:25:53.745 --> 00:25:56.685
or, well, sometimes you may do,

473
00:25:56.705 --> 00:25:58.445
but you know, you know what I mean?

474
00:25:58.445 --> 00:25:59.445
Thank you. Sure.

475
00:25:59.995 --> 00:26:01.005
Further questions.

476
00:26:01.785 --> 00:26:04.285
Mr. Goodman, thank you very much for your time here

477
00:26:04.305 --> 00:26:05.765
and for applying to this job.

478
00:26:06.055 --> 00:26:08.845
Thank you very much. And our next on the list

479
00:26:10.675 --> 00:26:12.085
will be James Vaccaro.

480
00:26:19.595 --> 00:26:21.365
Good morning. Good morning, sir.

481
00:26:21.855 --> 00:26:25.325
James mc Carro on 5 0 2 Rera Court and deal with Mr. West.

482
00:26:26.425 --> 00:26:28.605
And I'm excited about being here finally.

483
00:26:31.505 --> 00:26:35.165
So, Mr. Vaccaro, tell us a little bit about yourself.

484
00:26:35.225 --> 00:26:38.205
We do have your application and your resume in front of us,

485
00:26:38.305 --> 00:26:41.125
but certainly we'll give you the opportunity to, to say

486
00:26:41.125 --> 00:26:42.845
what you, you wanted us to hear

487
00:26:42.845 --> 00:26:43.845
Most about you.

488
00:26:44.515 --> 00:26:46.765
Well, excuse me.

489
00:26:47.395 --> 00:26:48.885
Well, most about me, I guess I'm,

490
00:26:48.945 --> 00:26:50.445
I'm an outgoing type human being,

491
00:26:51.105 --> 00:26:53.325
and, uh, I'm the type of person that, you know,

492
00:26:53.325 --> 00:26:56.245
would really go out and get opinions from people.

493
00:26:56.625 --> 00:27:00.115
And we do a lot of, you all do a lot of work of, you know,

494
00:27:00.575 --> 00:27:04.395
making decisions and we're looking at the 10 roof coming.

495
00:27:04.515 --> 00:27:07.155
I don't know if anybody's been following the 10 roof, all

496
00:27:07.155 --> 00:27:08.315
of a sudden 10 roof are coming,

497
00:27:08.315 --> 00:27:09.635
you know, Hey, we gotta have 10 roof.

498
00:27:09.915 --> 00:27:11.275
Everyone wants a 10 roof.

499
00:27:11.665 --> 00:27:15.355
Well, let's go out and talk to the people in CD one,

500
00:27:15.965 --> 00:27:18.955
which is a little different than the a c where it's such a,

501
00:27:19.155 --> 00:27:20.875
a broad stroke of people.

502
00:27:21.735 --> 00:27:23.995
CDD one is a fairly confined type of group.

503
00:27:24.215 --> 00:27:27.395
So it's something I think that can be approached.

504
00:27:27.955 --> 00:27:29.995
I mean, I'm not afraid to go out

505
00:27:29.995 --> 00:27:31.715
and talk to people at postal stations

506
00:27:31.775 --> 00:27:33.915
or, you know, things of that nature.

507
00:27:34.055 --> 00:27:36.475
I'm really not opposed to that one bit.

508
00:27:36.575 --> 00:27:38.075
Um, or anyone that knows me.

509
00:27:38.735 --> 00:27:42.075
Um, so, you know, I'm really that outgoing type of person

510
00:27:42.105 --> 00:27:46.195
that can bring what I think the people want,

511
00:27:47.265 --> 00:27:49.755
what they think, put it up there on the board.

512
00:27:50.055 --> 00:27:51.875
And I kinda like the position here

513
00:27:51.875 --> 00:27:55.675
because from this position, you can really speak to things

514
00:27:55.895 --> 00:27:59.195
and convince people that your ideas are good or bad.

515
00:27:59.555 --> 00:28:03.195
I, I like that the CDD one is a much more confined area

516
00:28:03.865 --> 00:28:05.435
than some of the other areas that I

517
00:28:05.975 --> 00:28:07.355
get got myself involved in.

518
00:28:08.025 --> 00:28:11.115
Okay. Thank you. Ms. Core, do you have a question?

519
00:28:12.255 --> 00:28:17.235
Um, it would be hard to come up with, uh, questions

520
00:28:17.235 --> 00:28:20.635
because we know you so well from your

521
00:28:21.305 --> 00:28:23.955
reporting about the A a C

522
00:28:24.335 --> 00:28:26.795
and just, you know, as a friend.

523
00:28:27.735 --> 00:28:30.915
But, uh, what would you have to support you differently from

524
00:28:30.915 --> 00:28:33.355
what you've seen procedurally

525
00:28:33.975 --> 00:28:36.795
or regarding any particular issue?

526
00:28:37.305 --> 00:28:38.995
Well, you know, in terms of, uh, you know,

527
00:28:39.015 --> 00:28:42.155
the major issue in my mind, it started, you know, three

528
00:28:42.155 --> 00:28:44.555
or four years ago when I almost got killed on North Morris

529
00:28:44.555 --> 00:28:47.675
Boulevard, has been to solve that problem,

530
00:28:48.415 --> 00:28:51.595
at least take some steps to make it safer.

531
00:28:52.635 --> 00:28:56.695
Um, so in my mind, being on the board, I would like

532
00:28:56.695 --> 00:28:59.255
to continue to move that process forward.

533
00:29:00.215 --> 00:29:01.935
I think it's the most dangerous section

534
00:29:01.955 --> 00:29:03.095
of road in the villages.

535
00:29:03.695 --> 00:29:05.015
I continue to see that.

536
00:29:05.215 --> 00:29:06.575
I continue to see the accident

537
00:29:07.315 --> 00:29:10.695
and I continue to want the board to put something together

538
00:29:11.435 --> 00:29:14.895
and approach that county something that's gonna work.

539
00:29:15.275 --> 00:29:18.655
And, uh, you know, I traveled overseas, I saw ideas,

540
00:29:19.275 --> 00:29:22.335
you know, I keep talking to people about ideas.

541
00:29:22.515 --> 00:29:25.135
And every now and then, a good idea will come up

542
00:29:25.155 --> 00:29:26.375
and, you know, you gotta go explore.

543
00:29:26.375 --> 00:29:28.335
You gotta look at it. You gotta see does

544
00:29:28.335 --> 00:29:29.495
that idea make sense?

545
00:29:30.195 --> 00:29:32.215
And believe me, I've been working on it for three years.

546
00:29:32.895 --> 00:29:34.255
I appreciate what you guys did.

547
00:29:34.275 --> 00:29:36.975
You put together a, a, a proposal

548
00:29:37.075 --> 00:29:38.695
to get Kinley horn on board

549
00:29:38.995 --> 00:29:41.605
and give us some ideas what can and can't be done.

550
00:29:42.065 --> 00:29:44.845
And as much as people think that that was a bad idea

551
00:29:45.145 --> 00:29:48.525
and we wasted our money, they came up with the one thing

552
00:29:48.525 --> 00:29:50.605
that no one, you know, Hey, you don't have

553
00:29:50.605 --> 00:29:51.805
to take anyone's property.

554
00:29:52.265 --> 00:29:53.845
You don't have to condemn anything.

555
00:29:53.945 --> 00:29:57.045
You can make this thing work if you want to.

556
00:29:57.945 --> 00:30:01.405
So you have the money. That's a whole different issue.

557
00:30:01.945 --> 00:30:05.005
Can we come up with a proposal for all of us to agree on

558
00:30:05.585 --> 00:30:06.645
to approach the county?

559
00:30:06.865 --> 00:30:08.605
And I thought that, and I,

560
00:30:08.605 --> 00:30:11.045
and I'm really kind of disappointed that it kind of ended.

561
00:30:11.365 --> 00:30:12.405
'cause I thought we were doing that,

562
00:30:12.835 --> 00:30:15.925
putting together a survey and going out to all the residents

563
00:30:15.925 --> 00:30:19.125
and asking, but it seems to have dropped at some point.

564
00:30:19.265 --> 00:30:22.565
So I want to continue, I want to continue the path

565
00:30:22.945 --> 00:30:27.205
of making North Morris Boulevard safer for all residents

566
00:30:27.275 --> 00:30:29.885
that use that road golf carts and bicycles

567
00:30:30.305 --> 00:30:31.325
and cars, actually,

568
00:30:31.625 --> 00:30:35.845
and might wanna run for the county board at one point.

569
00:30:36.345 --> 00:30:37.445
I'm not kidding. Why not?

570
00:30:39.125 --> 00:30:41.605
I just think that's a big priority in my mind.

571
00:30:42.305 --> 00:30:43.565
CDD one is part

572
00:30:43.565 --> 00:30:48.045
of our world, bill.

573
00:30:49.885 --> 00:30:52.565
I I almost could ask both of you candidates this.

574
00:30:53.505 --> 00:30:56.845
Uh, the longer you're in the villages,

575
00:30:56.845 --> 00:30:59.805
the more you know about the activities of all the committees

576
00:30:59.825 --> 00:31:02.605
and all the goings on in particular,

577
00:31:02.665 --> 00:31:05.845
if you're involved at all, you can't miss it.

578
00:31:06.015 --> 00:31:09.165
There are other, other organizations

579
00:31:09.165 --> 00:31:10.805
that do things entirely differently.

580
00:31:11.065 --> 00:31:15.685
We do. And, and, uh, they have a definite goal

581
00:31:16.075 --> 00:31:18.605
that they're trying to determine.

582
00:31:19.465 --> 00:31:24.455
And the more this is, this is basically a years

583
00:31:24.635 --> 00:31:29.455
of experience in the community, uh, situation.

584
00:31:29.595 --> 00:31:31.255
You can't avoid a lot

585
00:31:31.255 --> 00:31:34.215
of this if you never even read the newspaper very well.

586
00:31:34.995 --> 00:31:36.535
And, uh, and I,

587
00:31:36.755 --> 00:31:40.575
but it all adds the functions of all these other committees,

588
00:31:41.195 --> 00:31:42.695
if you're aware of what they do.

589
00:31:43.075 --> 00:31:46.215
To some degree, it's has a big bearing on

590
00:31:46.215 --> 00:31:47.255
what we might do here.

591
00:31:48.115 --> 00:31:49.895
It certainly influences it.

592
00:31:50.895 --> 00:31:55.175
And, uh, to me, uh, both of you folks are

593
00:31:55.725 --> 00:31:57.855
well qualified, no doubt about it.

594
00:31:57.855 --> 00:32:00.575
All you have to do is read a resume or two.

595
00:32:00.675 --> 00:32:05.655
And in, uh, in, we've got it down to an idea of

596
00:32:06.735 --> 00:32:10.255
qualifications, but the actual, uh,

597
00:32:11.315 --> 00:32:16.175
goings on in the villages that might be beneficial

598
00:32:16.275 --> 00:32:19.375
to us or might be detrimental to us.

599
00:32:19.605 --> 00:32:24.245
There's a, there's a big factor in, in

600
00:32:24.245 --> 00:32:28.045
that certainly, uh, asset to anyone who comes

601
00:32:28.065 --> 00:32:29.205
to sit on this board.

602
00:32:30.145 --> 00:32:32.725
You know, we are not the almighty

603
00:32:33.535 --> 00:32:35.445
board down the street does a lot

604
00:32:35.475 --> 00:32:37.885
that might be affecting us more than we realize.

605
00:32:42.505 --> 00:32:43.965
Mr. Miller, do you? Yes,

606
00:32:43.965 --> 00:32:44.965
Sir. We came to

607
00:32:44.965 --> 00:32:46.165
a lot of the meetings. I see.

608
00:32:46.545 --> 00:32:51.485
Uh, what, what issues or concerns have you brought

609
00:32:51.505 --> 00:32:55.165
before the board and what were the results of them?

610
00:32:57.425 --> 00:33:00.985
Hmm. Well, I, I gotta tell you that

611
00:33:01.885 --> 00:33:03.665
the North Morris Boulevard issue

612
00:33:04.445 --> 00:33:06.185
has been the biggest issue that I brought.

613
00:33:06.285 --> 00:33:10.065
And that as a representative of any other place other than

614
00:33:10.645 --> 00:33:12.425
myself and my wife, that almost got killed

615
00:33:12.445 --> 00:33:14.465
and went, did survey of people.

616
00:33:15.125 --> 00:33:18.465
And we came up with ideas and we presented the board

617
00:33:18.525 --> 00:33:20.745
and the county commission, by the way, we went

618
00:33:20.745 --> 00:33:22.225
to the county commission with two

619
00:33:22.225 --> 00:33:24.585
or 300 of us, you know, to find out

620
00:33:24.585 --> 00:33:26.185
that they weren't gonna do anything for us.

621
00:33:26.245 --> 00:33:27.585
And we had to come back to the board.

622
00:33:28.165 --> 00:33:29.785
And they came up with every reason in the world

623
00:33:29.785 --> 00:33:30.985
why they weren't gonna do anything.

624
00:33:31.685 --> 00:33:33.825
And we came back to the board, the board went out

625
00:33:33.825 --> 00:33:35.425
and did a survey from Kimley Horn

626
00:33:35.425 --> 00:33:37.985
and came up with possible solutions.

627
00:33:38.445 --> 00:33:41.545
And in my mind, that was one of my major achievements

628
00:33:41.545 --> 00:33:43.105
that we did come up with.

629
00:33:43.765 --> 00:33:45.425
Here's something that can be done.

630
00:33:45.725 --> 00:33:48.545
If you can afford it, here's something that can be done.

631
00:33:49.005 --> 00:33:51.465
So in my mind, that was a major accomplishment.

632
00:33:51.855 --> 00:33:53.105
There's other things that come.

633
00:33:53.385 --> 00:33:54.665
I mean, I'm, I'm here all the time.

634
00:33:54.695 --> 00:33:56.065
I've been coming for two years

635
00:33:56.525 --> 00:33:58.185
or longer, uh, to the meeting.

636
00:33:58.425 --> 00:34:00.025
I just kind of enjoy seeing

637
00:34:00.025 --> 00:34:01.385
what's going on in our community.

638
00:34:02.085 --> 00:34:03.785
And I certainly have done surveys.

639
00:34:03.905 --> 00:34:07.945
I go out, I'm, I am no quiet human being, let me tired.

640
00:34:08.665 --> 00:34:11.345
I go do my, what I think is my job

641
00:34:12.085 --> 00:34:13.785
to get the ideas from the people

642
00:34:14.015 --> 00:34:16.425
that live here in this community.

643
00:34:17.205 --> 00:34:18.945
The community at large is a whole different

644
00:34:18.945 --> 00:34:20.265
stuff from this community.

645
00:34:20.295 --> 00:34:23.545
It's a small community in reality, you know, two

646
00:34:23.545 --> 00:34:26.225
or 3000, what, 3000 roof stops or something like that.

647
00:34:27.165 --> 00:34:32.145
So it's not much. What is one of the biggest

648
00:34:32.145 --> 00:34:33.945
Accomplishments that you have done

649
00:34:34.685 --> 00:34:35.685
In my life? In

650
00:34:35.685 --> 00:34:38.905
your life? In my life? I retired. Now. I retired.

651
00:34:39.775 --> 00:34:41.225
That was a good one when I retired.

652
00:34:41.965 --> 00:34:43.345
Be careful now what you say?

653
00:34:43.575 --> 00:34:45.585
What that, uh, listen,

654
00:34:45.625 --> 00:34:47.065
I haven't retired since I've been here.

655
00:34:47.185 --> 00:34:49.665
I know that. But, uh, no, um, no.

656
00:34:49.665 --> 00:34:52.185
I had a very successful career. I kind enjoyed my life.

657
00:34:52.325 --> 00:34:55.145
Uh, have a very successful world

658
00:34:55.145 --> 00:34:56.545
that I lived in and worked in.

659
00:34:56.565 --> 00:34:57.665
And, you know,

660
00:34:57.665 --> 00:34:59.545
I've been in a management level for a long time.

661
00:34:59.745 --> 00:35:03.065
I really enjoyed what I did. I mean, automobile car parts.

662
00:35:03.165 --> 00:35:05.665
So anybody's got a key fob in their pocket.

663
00:35:06.305 --> 00:35:08.945
I probably made it back in the day.

664
00:35:09.885 --> 00:35:12.265
We made millions of 'em for everybody around the world.

665
00:35:13.045 --> 00:35:15.225
We also made four wheel drive units for people

666
00:35:15.225 --> 00:35:17.545
that drove full wheel and drive vehicles back in the day.

667
00:35:18.165 --> 00:35:20.705
And I just had a great career and I'm really lucky.

668
00:35:20.815 --> 00:35:23.785
I've a great wife. I got, it's just one of the most

669
00:35:24.305 --> 00:35:28.505
experiencing fun places to live is here in the villages.

670
00:35:28.885 --> 00:35:31.025
We came here, we've been here for eight years,

671
00:35:31.125 --> 00:35:32.385
and it's just a marvelous

672
00:35:32.385 --> 00:35:36.865
place. So

673
00:35:37.345 --> 00:35:38.345
Mr. Vagaro, you're,

674
00:35:38.345 --> 00:35:40.285
you're the, uh, representative

675
00:35:40.505 --> 00:35:43.525
for district one on the Amenity authority committee?

676
00:35:43.665 --> 00:35:48.605
Yes, sir. And, um, legal advice has been that, uh,

677
00:35:48.605 --> 00:35:50.205
you can't serve on both committees.

678
00:35:50.705 --> 00:35:54.405
Uh, so what would be your intentions, uh, if you were

679
00:35:54.405 --> 00:35:56.085
to be appointed to this board?

680
00:35:56.635 --> 00:36:00.485
Well, you know, my intention is that I sit right next

681
00:36:00.485 --> 00:36:05.085
to somebody on the AAC c board that's on a CDD board.

682
00:36:05.985 --> 00:36:09.565
And when he had a run for the AAC c board, no problem.

683
00:36:09.955 --> 00:36:14.685
He's had problems. He's on that board run for the C board.

684
00:36:15.385 --> 00:36:19.205
In my mind, there's something different about the a c board

685
00:36:19.585 --> 00:36:21.165
that's different than any other board

686
00:36:22.025 --> 00:36:23.085
for some reason or another.

687
00:36:24.285 --> 00:36:26.765
I, I'm sitting right next to somebody, well,

688
00:36:26.785 --> 00:36:29.085
if he can do it, what's wrong with me?

689
00:36:29.545 --> 00:36:32.805
Why can't I do that? I mean, I really want to be involved.

690
00:36:33.395 --> 00:36:34.685
Just, I want to be involved.

691
00:36:34.915 --> 00:36:37.525
It's not like I don't have to be, I'm busy.

692
00:36:37.725 --> 00:36:41.045
I have a very full life, but I want to be more involved.

693
00:36:41.685 --> 00:36:44.725
I want to be involved. You know, I've got, you know, seven,

694
00:36:44.725 --> 00:36:46.325
eight more years of being involved

695
00:36:46.905 --> 00:36:48.405
and if I can, I want to be involved.

696
00:36:48.825 --> 00:36:52.525
You do? I think it's right that he can and I can't.

697
00:36:53.065 --> 00:36:54.725
No, I think if he can, I can.

698
00:36:55.585 --> 00:37:00.085
That's the way I look at it and right or wrong in my mind.

699
00:37:01.425 --> 00:37:04.005
What's good for the goose, what's good for everybody else.

700
00:37:05.885 --> 00:37:08.965
I think, I think I have a legitimate right to that suit.

701
00:37:10.355 --> 00:37:13.325
Okay. Any more

702
00:37:13.525 --> 00:37:15.805
questions? Yes ma'am. No.

703
00:37:16.425 --> 00:37:20.605
Um, I recall your organizing, um,

704
00:37:21.185 --> 00:37:24.245
pretty visible protests on more Boulevard

705
00:37:24.845 --> 00:37:25.845
Demonstration. You, I use

706
00:37:25.845 --> 00:37:27.085
the word demonstration Yes.

707
00:37:27.185 --> 00:37:31.565
As we better for today in Los Angeles and all that.

708
00:37:32.705 --> 00:37:36.925
We didn't start any fires, but we had nice signs prepared

709
00:37:37.385 --> 00:37:41.045
and, uh, got a lot of recognition from passing motorists

710
00:37:41.745 --> 00:37:44.965
and, um, there was news and so on.

711
00:37:45.745 --> 00:37:49.405
But, uh, as a follow up to that, um,

712
00:37:50.025 --> 00:37:52.125
was anything actually done?

713
00:37:53.185 --> 00:37:57.405
You, did you take the results of that and the turnout

714
00:37:58.105 --> 00:38:01.125
and were you able to do anything with it to move ahead

715
00:38:01.185 --> 00:38:04.685
to get a traffic light or anything specific?

716
00:38:05.065 --> 00:38:05.885
Oh, you know, it's kinda

717
00:38:06.125 --> 00:38:07.165
interesting you asked that question.

718
00:38:07.285 --> 00:38:09.125
I appreciate it. Um, I know that

719
00:38:09.635 --> 00:38:12.965
when we had the demonstration and we just showed up

720
00:38:12.965 --> 00:38:14.245
and we stood there for three hours,

721
00:38:14.705 --> 00:38:17.645
and if you ever want to know what traffic is, try

722
00:38:17.645 --> 00:38:21.605
and stand on Morris Boulevard from nine to 12 or 1230.

723
00:38:21.945 --> 00:38:23.925
It was interesting. It was, uh, uh,

724
00:38:24.245 --> 00:38:25.525
unbelievable amount of traffic.

725
00:38:25.635 --> 00:38:29.005
Yeah. Um, and we did have the Orlando

726
00:38:29.755 --> 00:38:33.165
newspaper come and do an interview with, uh,

727
00:38:33.265 --> 00:38:34.685
the folks that were standing there.

728
00:38:35.495 --> 00:38:37.195
And when they took their concept

729
00:38:37.495 --> 00:38:39.475
and went to the county commissioners,

730
00:38:40.705 --> 00:38:45.515
they county commissioners said they are waiting for CDD one

731
00:38:46.095 --> 00:38:48.555
to make a suggestion to their board.

732
00:38:49.455 --> 00:38:51.955
Now, I don't know how far back that was, six months ago,

733
00:38:51.955 --> 00:38:56.715
we did it and I thought Patsy was going to move forward

734
00:38:56.745 --> 00:38:59.275
with a survey, talk to all the residents,

735
00:38:59.295 --> 00:39:00.795
and get some ideas of

736
00:39:00.795 --> 00:39:04.715
what the residents really wanted on an electronic email,

737
00:39:05.495 --> 00:39:06.915
and she left the board.

738
00:39:07.585 --> 00:39:09.275
Well, I don't want that ball to stop.

739
00:39:09.435 --> 00:39:12.315
I don't sure I can put something together like Miss,

740
00:39:12.625 --> 00:39:13.995
like Patsy was trying to do,

741
00:39:14.775 --> 00:39:16.395
but I certainly will get out there

742
00:39:16.535 --> 00:39:20.755
and keep pushing until we do put a committee together,

743
00:39:21.145 --> 00:39:23.595
take the best ideas we can come up with

744
00:39:24.255 --> 00:39:26.795
and get to the county commissioner with it.

745
00:39:27.775 --> 00:39:31.395
Mm-hmm. So it, it is my mind.

746
00:39:31.835 --> 00:39:35.675
I am following up in my mind. That's what I'm doing.

747
00:39:37.665 --> 00:39:41.155
Okay. Any more questions? Alright.

748
00:39:41.245 --> 00:39:43.315
Don't see any, thank you very much Mr. Bacaro.

749
00:39:43.315 --> 00:39:46.195
You're welcome. Appreciate it. You're welcome. And board,

750
00:39:46.195 --> 00:39:47.835
before you vote, I do want to let you know

751
00:39:47.835 --> 00:39:49.355
that I do have some concerns.

752
00:39:49.575 --> 00:39:54.395
Um, as some of you may know, you have two attorneys, um,

753
00:39:54.545 --> 00:39:58.475
your attorney, along with the attorney for the A a C, um,

754
00:39:58.575 --> 00:40:00.275
who has expressed their opinions

755
00:40:00.275 --> 00:40:03.355
that you can't sit on both boards, you must resign from one.

756
00:40:03.975 --> 00:40:05.595
So again, my concern is the

757
00:40:05.595 --> 00:40:06.995
potential liability for this board.

758
00:40:06.995 --> 00:40:10.035
If you were to appoint someone with the advice that

759
00:40:10.855 --> 00:40:13.075
you really shouldn't be doing that,

760
00:40:13.095 --> 00:40:15.915
or that this individual really shouldn't be sitting on a

761
00:40:15.915 --> 00:40:17.555
board unless he intends on resigning.

762
00:40:17.555 --> 00:40:19.555
And it sounds like to me like he doesn't intend on

763
00:40:19.555 --> 00:40:20.675
resigning from the A a C.

764
00:40:21.215 --> 00:40:24.755
So again, um, you have the opinions from two different

765
00:40:24.915 --> 00:40:26.235
attorneys saying the same thing, and,

766
00:40:26.395 --> 00:40:27.915
and that's gonna be my advice to you.

767
00:40:28.815 --> 00:40:31.195
Um, so just wanted to put that on the record.

768
00:40:32.655 --> 00:40:37.355
Um, mark, what in what attorney is involved with the

769
00:40:38.775 --> 00:40:41.035
TDD four, where the person can

770
00:40:41.035 --> 00:40:42.035
Sits? That, that is

771
00:40:42.035 --> 00:40:42.315
me.

772
00:40:42.855 --> 00:40:47.635
Um-huh And that opinion was not asked for until Mr.

773
00:40:47.735 --> 00:40:51.195
Deacon had already been sitting on both. But, um, Mr.

774
00:40:51.255 --> 00:40:54.075
Deacon is aware of my opinion and he's aware of Mr.

775
00:40:54.075 --> 00:40:55.155
Stone's opinion as well.

776
00:40:56.385 --> 00:40:57.715
Okay. But nothing legally.

777
00:40:58.625 --> 00:41:01.035
Well, it's not you, you know, it's not for us to

778
00:41:02.815 --> 00:41:04.235
do anything other than advise.

779
00:41:04.235 --> 00:41:06.835
That's what we do. Um, we advise boards,

780
00:41:06.835 --> 00:41:07.875
we advise individuals,

781
00:41:07.935 --> 00:41:10.915
but ultimately it's up to someone else

782
00:41:10.975 --> 00:41:13.035
to decide whether they want to do something about it.

783
00:41:14.225 --> 00:41:16.275
Well, I'm not an attorney of course,

784
00:41:16.655 --> 00:41:19.555
but it's just a legal precedent or

785
00:41:20.595 --> 00:41:21.595
I don't think so. I mean,

786
00:41:21.595 --> 00:41:24.435
again, you know, Mr.

787
00:41:24.615 --> 00:41:27.395
Deacon, nothing would've ever come up,

788
00:41:27.455 --> 00:41:28.675
had nobody asked the question.

789
00:41:29.455 --> 00:41:31.835
Um, the question was asked, the research was done,

790
00:41:32.375 --> 00:41:34.245
the answer was provided, and Mr.

791
00:41:34.265 --> 00:41:35.285
Deacon is aware of it.

792
00:41:35.825 --> 00:41:39.565
Um, you know, that's all I can say about the issue. Okay.

793
00:41:41.915 --> 00:41:44.325
Okay. I will, um, I'll give the board

794
00:41:45.595 --> 00:41:47.325
just a couple minutes to make your decision.

795
00:41:47.375 --> 00:41:48.685
Write it down. If you're ready.

796
00:41:48.685 --> 00:41:51.005
Just give me a nod and we'll, we will go ahead

797
00:41:51.005 --> 00:41:53.045
and let the clerk pull the board,

798
00:41:55.835 --> 00:41:56.835
Okay?

799
00:42:30.315 --> 00:42:34.285
Okay. Uh, chair Kaiser Supervisor Miller

800
00:42:34.505 --> 00:42:37.165
and supervisor co voted for Mr. Goodman

801
00:42:37.745 --> 00:42:39.685
and supervisor for Jim.

802
00:42:40.675 --> 00:42:41.725
Alright. Majority.

803
00:42:41.945 --> 00:42:43.485
So the majority was three, three

804
00:42:43.485 --> 00:42:45.045
to one vote for Mr. Goodman.

805
00:42:46.465 --> 00:42:49.485
Uh, so at this point in time, we'll ask the board to, uh,

806
00:42:49.485 --> 00:42:53.085
make a motion to appoint Mr. Goodman to the, to the board.

807
00:42:53.965 --> 00:42:56.765
I make a motion to appoint Mr. Goodman to the board.

808
00:42:57.025 --> 00:42:58.805
Second, we have a motion and a second.

809
00:42:58.945 --> 00:43:01.725
All in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed?

810
00:43:02.555 --> 00:43:04.645
Motions carries unanimously.

811
00:43:04.945 --> 00:43:07.125
Mr. Goodman, would you please step forward, sir,

812
00:43:10.295 --> 00:43:11.725
we're going to put you to work today.

813
00:43:12.985 --> 00:43:14.285
Before you go ahead,

814
00:43:18.345 --> 00:43:20.005
You put your stuff down and raise your hand.

815
00:43:22.775 --> 00:43:23.925
Raise your right hand for me.

816
00:43:35.975 --> 00:43:36.975
Court,

817
00:43:40.505 --> 00:43:41.505
Mr. Congratulations.

818
00:43:41.505 --> 00:43:45.485
The staff has a procedure to make sure

819
00:43:45.515 --> 00:43:47.285
that you understand.

820
00:43:47.465 --> 00:43:49.925
You better check the legs on that chair.

821
00:43:57.235 --> 00:43:58.885
Well, And

822
00:43:58.885 --> 00:44:00.725
before we move on, I'd just like to say

823
00:44:00.725 --> 00:44:02.725
that I appreciate both candidates.

824
00:44:02.955 --> 00:44:06.285
It's, it's so much of a luxury for a board

825
00:44:06.285 --> 00:44:08.725
to have two excellent candidates, uh,

826
00:44:08.785 --> 00:44:10.205
to apply for a position.

827
00:44:10.465 --> 00:44:12.765
And, uh, it makes for a tough decision for us.

828
00:44:13.265 --> 00:44:14.485
Uh, but certainly, uh,

829
00:44:14.505 --> 00:44:16.485
we appreciate the, uh, the effort there.

830
00:44:16.705 --> 00:44:20.685
Mm-hmm. Alright, moving along to, uh, item D,

831
00:44:20.905 --> 00:44:21.925
our proposed budget.

832
00:44:24.465 --> 00:44:26.525
Yes, sir. This item will be presented by Ms.

833
00:44:26.525 --> 00:44:28.405
Karen Clary with the budget department.

834
00:44:29.915 --> 00:44:30.915
Good morning, Karen. Good morning.

835
00:44:31.135 --> 00:44:32.165
Karen Clary Budget.

836
00:44:32.625 --> 00:44:34.245
I'm here today to request adoption

837
00:44:34.265 --> 00:44:37.005
of resolution 2025 dash zero eight

838
00:44:37.065 --> 00:44:40.405
to approve your fiscal year 20 25 26 proposed budget,

839
00:44:40.745 --> 00:44:43.805
and to set the public hearing to adopt the fiscal year 2025

840
00:44:44.335 --> 00:44:48.485
final budget for September 12th, 2025 at 8:00 AM here at the

841
00:44:48.685 --> 00:44:50.725
Savannah Recreation Center in

842
00:44:50.725 --> 00:44:52.045
accordance with Chapter one 90.

843
00:44:52.145 --> 00:44:55.125
The district must approve by June 15th, a proposed budget,

844
00:44:55.605 --> 00:44:56.925
proposed maintenance assessment rate,

845
00:44:56.985 --> 00:44:58.125
and adopt a resolution

846
00:44:58.145 --> 00:45:00.205
to set the public hearing for the budget adoption.

847
00:45:00.995 --> 00:45:03.325
Once approved, the proposed budget will be submitted

848
00:45:03.325 --> 00:45:04.605
to the local governing authorities

849
00:45:04.625 --> 00:45:06.605
for a 60 day review and comment period.

850
00:45:06.735 --> 00:45:08.245
Prior to the budget adoption,

851
00:45:08.825 --> 00:45:10.965
the approved proposed budget will also be made available

852
00:45:11.065 --> 00:45:12.205
on the district's website.

853
00:45:12.205 --> 00:45:14.325
And at the village's Community development district's

854
00:45:14.325 --> 00:45:18.005
administrative offices, the board of supervisors reviewed

855
00:45:18.005 --> 00:45:20.525
and discussed the fiscal year 20 25, 26,

856
00:45:20.525 --> 00:45:22.285
recommended budget and capital plan.

857
00:45:22.285 --> 00:45:23.445
During your May regular meeting,

858
00:45:24.025 --> 00:45:26.005
the attached proposed operating budget

859
00:45:26.065 --> 00:45:31.005
of $1,426,237 reflects a

860
00:45:31.205 --> 00:45:34.645
decrease of $257,852

861
00:45:34.825 --> 00:45:38.845
or 15% from your fiscal year 24 25 amended budget

862
00:45:39.455 --> 00:45:41.405
based on board direction at your budget workshop.

863
00:45:41.405 --> 00:45:44.045
There is no increase in maintenance assessments in fiscal

864
00:45:44.045 --> 00:45:45.445
year 25 26.

865
00:45:46.065 --> 00:45:48.165
The final budget will include the maintenance assessment

866
00:45:48.165 --> 00:45:50.645
rates based on the direction of the boards of supervisors,

867
00:45:50.665 --> 00:45:52.165
but cannot exceed the rates set

868
00:45:52.165 --> 00:45:53.365
today in your proposed budget.

869
00:45:54.185 --> 00:45:56.045
At this time, staff recommends approval

870
00:45:56.065 --> 00:45:58.565
of resolution 2025 dash zero eight

871
00:45:58.565 --> 00:46:01.765
to approve the fiscal year 20 25, 26 proposed budget,

872
00:46:02.145 --> 00:46:03.205
and to set the public hearing

873
00:46:03.225 --> 00:46:06.445
to adopt the fiscal year 20 25, 26, final budget

874
00:46:06.705 --> 00:46:07.885
and final assessment rates

875
00:46:08.065 --> 00:46:11.125
for September 12th, 2025 at 8:00 AM here at

876
00:46:11.125 --> 00:46:12.245
the Savannah Recreation Center.

877
00:46:12.305 --> 00:46:13.525
And we're here if you have any questions.

878
00:46:13.935 --> 00:46:15.445
Thank you. Thank you Ms. Cleary.

879
00:46:16.225 --> 00:46:19.085
So just to reiterate what she just said, uh,

880
00:46:19.145 --> 00:46:22.165
the most important thing we're doing today is to set the,

881
00:46:22.285 --> 00:46:24.485
uh, the rate which cannot be changed.

882
00:46:24.865 --> 00:46:28.205
And, uh, at our last meeting, um, based on our discussion,

883
00:46:28.745 --> 00:46:32.965
we decided to remain at the same rate as as previous year.

884
00:46:33.305 --> 00:46:34.605
So, okay.

885
00:46:35.065 --> 00:46:36.605
Any further discussion from the board,

886
00:46:37.855 --> 00:46:39.845
we'll entertain a motion, then motion.

887
00:46:40.305 --> 00:46:43.125
Motion to approve the, uh, solution.

888
00:46:43.705 --> 00:46:47.445
We have a motion and a second. All in favor say aye. Aye.

889
00:46:47.545 --> 00:46:50.445
Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. Thank you.

890
00:46:50.445 --> 00:46:51.445
Thank you. Thank you.

891
00:46:55.875 --> 00:46:57.405
Okay. The, uh, the public hearing

892
00:46:57.405 --> 00:47:00.725
that was scheduled has been pulled, no need for, for that.

893
00:47:00.825 --> 00:47:02.685
So we'll move along to old business

894
00:47:02.685 --> 00:47:05.445
and I'll turn it over to the Deputy District manager.

895
00:47:05.825 --> 00:47:07.165
Yes, sir. Thank you. Um,

896
00:47:07.625 --> 00:47:11.565
the only item on old business was the ongoing, um,

897
00:47:11.565 --> 00:47:14.165
maintenance concerns at l Largo Lago,

898
00:47:14.375 --> 00:47:16.565
which was also brought up in audience comments.

899
00:47:17.245 --> 00:47:19.685
I will ask Mr. Harris to come up, um,

900
00:47:19.785 --> 00:47:21.845
and give you an update on where we are with

901
00:47:21.845 --> 00:47:23.125
that maintenance.

902
00:47:23.125 --> 00:47:23.885
Okay. Thank you.

903
00:47:31.715 --> 00:47:33.765
Good morning. Mike Harris, district Property Management.

904
00:47:33.765 --> 00:47:35.765
We have completed all the necessary purchase orders

905
00:47:35.825 --> 00:47:37.925
and all the internal documentation.

906
00:47:37.925 --> 00:47:39.925
And this will take place Monday morning.

907
00:47:40.905 --> 00:47:43.885
Monday morning, weather permitting. Okay. I may ask. So

908
00:47:44.875 --> 00:47:46.285
Good. Um,

909
00:47:46.825 --> 00:47:50.285
And, and if I could just as a, just as an add-on, um,

910
00:47:50.425 --> 00:47:53.925
the resident also expressed some concerns with Cross Creek,

911
00:47:53.925 --> 00:47:56.285
which is the maintenance contractor of all

912
00:47:56.285 --> 00:47:58.805
of the water retention areas, um, and,

913
00:47:58.985 --> 00:48:00.445
and links throughout the villages.

914
00:48:00.865 --> 00:48:04.525
And as, um, I just wanted to make sure this board was aware

915
00:48:04.525 --> 00:48:09.165
that we did go out for solicitation for a new contractor.

916
00:48:09.785 --> 00:48:14.685
Um, certainly Cross Creek can, can, um, apply

917
00:48:14.705 --> 00:48:18.325
for that, but rather than having one contract for all

918
00:48:18.325 --> 00:48:22.565
of them villages wide, we broke it into three areas trying

919
00:48:22.565 --> 00:48:26.485
to not give one contractor so much to maintain.

920
00:48:26.985 --> 00:48:29.725
So that will be coming before you in a future meeting

921
00:48:29.785 --> 00:48:31.925
for consideration of a new contractor as well.

922
00:48:32.385 --> 00:48:35.525
That's the future honor that will happen in the future.

923
00:48:35.785 --> 00:48:36.785
Yes, sir.

924
00:48:37.455 --> 00:48:39.295
I, I think that's an excellent strategy.

925
00:48:39.635 --> 00:48:44.015
Um, because it also avails additional contractors

926
00:48:44.085 --> 00:48:46.255
potentially for the other districts.

927
00:48:46.795 --> 00:48:51.735
Uh, Mr. Harris. Um, I I have one, um,

928
00:48:52.125 --> 00:48:57.015
comment, uh, as we move forward to the future, I've ridden

929
00:48:57.035 --> 00:48:59.855
and past some of these lakes that, that we're having issues

930
00:48:59.885 --> 00:49:04.455
with and, uh, to me it seems difficult

931
00:49:04.675 --> 00:49:07.015
to evaluate them from the ground

932
00:49:07.015 --> 00:49:10.455
because you really can't see what's going on in the lake.

933
00:49:11.075 --> 00:49:14.215
Uh, so I, I would like to see a different AP approach

934
00:49:14.285 --> 00:49:17.295
with regard to managing these contracts so

935
00:49:17.295 --> 00:49:19.295
that we have an aerial view of,

936
00:49:19.315 --> 00:49:21.655
of what's happened when the contract begins,

937
00:49:22.195 --> 00:49:23.655
and we can see whether

938
00:49:23.655 --> 00:49:27.455
or not progress is being made with regard to the vegetation

939
00:49:27.915 --> 00:49:30.295
and how it's being controlled and if it's growing

940
00:49:30.435 --> 00:49:32.815
or if receding and things like that.

941
00:49:33.355 --> 00:49:36.295
Uh, so that we can, we, we have a way to measure it.

942
00:49:36.475 --> 00:49:40.295
And in my world, you, you can't, you can't manage it

943
00:49:40.295 --> 00:49:41.455
unless you can measure it.

944
00:49:41.515 --> 00:49:43.695
So that's why I'm trying to come up with is an idea.

945
00:49:43.795 --> 00:49:45.935
You may have a better one, but that's, that's just mine.

946
00:49:46.075 --> 00:49:47.455
No, I don't, I have your idea.

947
00:49:47.635 --> 00:49:50.135
So that's why we have a drone fleet right now

948
00:49:50.135 --> 00:49:51.495
that are inspecting basins

949
00:49:51.495 --> 00:49:54.575
and I would love to show you if you have time sitting down

950
00:49:54.575 --> 00:49:55.655
and show you the inspections

951
00:49:55.655 --> 00:49:56.735
that are being done with the drones.

952
00:49:56.735 --> 00:49:59.735
Awesome. Of course, this is a new thing for us, so,

953
00:49:59.835 --> 00:50:01.895
but we do cover more ground a lot faster.

954
00:50:02.115 --> 00:50:05.775
We can see, as you say, hydro you, you, it,

955
00:50:05.775 --> 00:50:06.975
it could be gone,

956
00:50:07.035 --> 00:50:09.135
but you, you fly it from the air,

957
00:50:09.235 --> 00:50:10.655
you see the hydro in the lake.

958
00:50:10.835 --> 00:50:12.215
So we have incorporated

959
00:50:12.215 --> 00:50:14.415
that over in probably the last six months in our program

960
00:50:15.115 --> 00:50:18.895
and it building that right now for the inspection process.

961
00:50:19.145 --> 00:50:21.495
Thank you, sir. I would like to also add along

962
00:50:21.495 --> 00:50:24.175
with the new basin contract, the management contract.

963
00:50:24.235 --> 00:50:27.015
We did add another one for mechanical removal.

964
00:50:27.305 --> 00:50:30.565
So if we ever have need for these services in the future,

965
00:50:31.185 --> 00:50:33.725
we don't have to go through the six week process of,

966
00:50:33.825 --> 00:50:35.125
of bids and pricing.

967
00:50:35.375 --> 00:50:37.205
We'll have contractors in our

968
00:50:37.205 --> 00:50:39.165
toolbox to handle those services. Okay. Good

969
00:50:39.165 --> 00:50:40.485
News. Thank you very much.

970
00:50:40.705 --> 00:50:43.045
And I did have one, uh, Bruce.

971
00:50:43.725 --> 00:50:45.685
I did have, I mean Mike, I'm sorry.

972
00:50:46.385 --> 00:50:50.605
Um, I did have one question from a resident

973
00:50:51.305 --> 00:50:56.125
who drove around and noticed that some of the ponds

974
00:50:56.305 --> 00:51:01.005
and retention areas are lower than they have been.

975
00:51:01.145 --> 00:51:03.245
And of course we're coming off of drought,

976
00:51:04.265 --> 00:51:06.845
but, uh, we have had some heavy rain

977
00:51:07.625 --> 00:51:12.285
and they asked me, gee, was the villages keeping

978
00:51:12.865 --> 00:51:17.445
the level or depth of these water areas

979
00:51:18.385 --> 00:51:21.525
low in preparation for any upcoming

980
00:51:22.055 --> 00:51:23.605
hurricanes and storms?

981
00:51:24.465 --> 00:51:25.765
No ma'am. Okay.

982
00:51:25.765 --> 00:51:29.165
We are not the, every basin you see is strictly,

983
00:51:29.505 --> 00:51:31.525
the water levels are dictated by a rainfall.

984
00:51:31.825 --> 00:51:34.205
We do have basins that can be supplemented

985
00:51:34.205 --> 00:51:35.405
that have pump stations on 'em,

986
00:51:35.405 --> 00:51:38.045
because of course if we run a pump station in the low basin,

987
00:51:38.265 --> 00:51:41.365
it would burn up a very, you know, expensive pump.

988
00:51:41.905 --> 00:51:44.645
But, but the majority of the basins in the villages,

989
00:51:44.675 --> 00:51:46.165
it's strictly stormwater drilling.

990
00:51:46.395 --> 00:51:49.405
Okay. So they come up as the water, as we get rain.

991
00:51:49.405 --> 00:51:51.325
And what you'll see, especially with the hydro drilla,

992
00:51:52.045 --> 00:51:54.125
hydrilla is a nuisance throughout the state.

993
00:51:54.355 --> 00:51:56.085
It's there, we kill it, we knock it back,

994
00:51:56.085 --> 00:51:57.325
it comes back, it comes back.

995
00:51:57.555 --> 00:51:59.285
When that water gets a foot deep,

996
00:51:59.475 --> 00:52:01.165
there's nowhere to hide anymore.

997
00:52:01.345 --> 00:52:02.405
So we go spray it

998
00:52:02.405 --> 00:52:04.965
and then of course we generate another issue

999
00:52:04.965 --> 00:52:07.405
of dead high drill that's visible that can't sink.

1000
00:52:07.545 --> 00:52:11.285
So right. As those water levels come up, I'm very confident

1001
00:52:11.285 --> 00:52:13.325
that we'll be getting calls of complaints

1002
00:52:13.325 --> 00:52:15.445
of the water's too high before long in the next couple

1003
00:52:15.445 --> 00:52:16.725
months and not too low.

1004
00:52:16.905 --> 00:52:20.365
So, um, we're the rain's a great thing

1005
00:52:20.385 --> 00:52:21.845
and you'll see a lot of improvements.

1006
00:52:22.235 --> 00:52:25.245
Yeah. This wasn't a complaint, it was curiosity

1007
00:52:25.465 --> 00:52:27.285
and I really didn't know what to tell him.

1008
00:52:28.195 --> 00:52:30.925
More rain, we get the better off we are. Yes. Yes.

1009
00:52:31.225 --> 00:52:32.325
Thanks. You're welcome.

1010
00:52:34.545 --> 00:52:37.365
And Mr. Chair, we have one more item on old business,

1011
00:52:37.415 --> 00:52:40.645
which is the Courtyard Zilla front entry screening petition

1012
00:52:40.645 --> 00:52:43.125
process, which will be presented by Mr. Armstrong.

1013
00:52:43.425 --> 00:52:48.005
Mr. Armstrong. Good morning Gordon.

1014
00:52:48.355 --> 00:52:49.925
Matt Armstrong Community standards.

1015
00:52:50.225 --> 00:52:53.285
So we do have a request for a petition for a courtyard bill

1016
00:52:53.305 --> 00:52:56.845
to screen in the front entryway of you on your,

1017
00:52:56.945 --> 00:52:57.965
uh, agenda item.

1018
00:52:57.975 --> 00:53:00.605
There is a drafted sample

1019
00:53:00.665 --> 00:53:03.205
of the Revised Architectural Review manual as well,

1020
00:53:03.595 --> 00:53:05.605
what the language would look like that would allow

1021
00:53:05.605 --> 00:53:06.765
for this petition process.

1022
00:53:06.985 --> 00:53:09.605
And if you are interested in allowing this petition process,

1023
00:53:09.825 --> 00:53:11.565
we ask that you proceed with the approval.

1024
00:53:12.105 --> 00:53:14.645
If you feel it is not a good addition to your district,

1025
00:53:14.745 --> 00:53:16.525
we would ask that you deny the request

1026
00:53:16.585 --> 00:53:19.045
and I leave it to the board for discussion in any questions.

1027
00:53:19.775 --> 00:53:22.125
Thank you. I'm going to refer to

1028
00:53:22.145 --> 00:53:24.805
Our resident, uh, expert first.

1029
00:53:25.905 --> 00:53:27.285
Mr. Miller. Well,

1030
00:53:27.815 --> 00:53:30.965
These, these, these, uh, these have been, uh,

1031
00:53:32.465 --> 00:53:35.605
screen and ries have been approved in other areas

1032
00:53:35.825 --> 00:53:39.365
and that's, that previously mentioned some ideas

1033
00:53:39.545 --> 00:53:43.205
to get ideas from houses.

1034
00:53:43.945 --> 00:53:47.765
And I'm in favor of making it an option of whether they want

1035
00:53:47.765 --> 00:53:51.405
to filed a petition to, to get that approved or not.

1036
00:53:51.875 --> 00:53:53.085
Okay. Okay.

1037
00:53:53.345 --> 00:53:56.365
Uh, I mean, it, it's at under the roof line,

1038
00:53:56.755 --> 00:53:58.205
just like the home.

1039
00:53:59.035 --> 00:54:00.035
Okay.

1040
00:54:00.905 --> 00:54:04.565
All are you saying approved as policy

1041
00:54:04.745 --> 00:54:05.805
or approved as project?

1042
00:54:07.045 --> 00:54:08.205
Approved As the project. Okay.

1043
00:54:08.345 --> 00:54:11.405
For Them to, uh, for the individual areas

1044
00:54:11.505 --> 00:54:14.045
to petition to get that done.

1045
00:54:14.505 --> 00:54:17.365
Oh, okay. Now it was, it's been my understanding

1046
00:54:17.395 --> 00:54:18.645
that we've been down this road

1047
00:54:18.705 --> 00:54:22.445
before on these enclosures at the front

1048
00:54:22.445 --> 00:54:24.925
of those courtyard bills, for example.

1049
00:54:25.435 --> 00:54:29.605
Okay. And I thought we had come to a decision,

1050
00:54:30.025 --> 00:54:33.485
I'm not really truly,

1051
00:54:34.665 --> 00:54:38.005
and I remember the ACT decision, actual decision,

1052
00:54:38.185 --> 00:54:40.765
but this is not something new

1053
00:54:40.795 --> 00:54:43.245
that we just arrived at.

1054
00:54:43.745 --> 00:54:46.405
Uh, I believe

1055
00:54:48.545 --> 00:54:50.445
Can staff help me on this one at all?

1056
00:54:50.785 --> 00:54:53.565
You're, you're correct. This, um, this is something

1057
00:54:53.565 --> 00:54:55.405
that has been done in ev in other areas.

1058
00:54:56.105 --> 00:54:59.165
Um, so this would just allow, if 75%

1059
00:54:59.385 --> 00:55:01.445
of the courtyard villa owners wanted

1060
00:55:01.445 --> 00:55:03.885
that screened in this would allow them to do that.

1061
00:55:04.395 --> 00:55:08.085
Okay. Okay. So it's the scope

1062
00:55:08.105 --> 00:55:10.965
of whatever the project is, is what you're, you're saying?

1063
00:55:11.035 --> 00:55:12.685
Yeah. Yes, sir. As a measure.

1064
00:55:13.505 --> 00:55:17.395
Correct. So that would be an option for each

1065
00:55:18.025 --> 00:55:22.715
Courtyard Villa owner in a community to do it or not,

1066
00:55:22.935 --> 00:55:26.195
and not a mandate that they all would have to do it.

1067
00:55:27.305 --> 00:55:30.435
That that's right. So what, in this situation,

1068
00:55:30.455 --> 00:55:32.355
we have a resident in a courtyard villa

1069
00:55:32.355 --> 00:55:33.755
that wants to screen it in.

1070
00:55:34.695 --> 00:55:37.755
So she is going to have to take that initiative

1071
00:55:38.255 --> 00:55:41.475
to get 75% of the owners within

1072
00:55:41.505 --> 00:55:43.435
that courtyard villa to approve it.

1073
00:55:43.535 --> 00:55:45.995
Mm-hmm. Anybody, if you allow this,

1074
00:55:46.105 --> 00:55:49.075
then anybody in a courtyard villa would be able to do

1075
00:55:49.075 --> 00:55:50.435
that process, but it would not,

1076
00:55:50.545 --> 00:55:52.675
they would not have to do it. Okay.

1077
00:55:53.295 --> 00:55:57.275
Thanks. Is this, maybe, I may try

1078
00:55:57.275 --> 00:55:59.915
and recall this, was this addressed in the review

1079
00:55:59.915 --> 00:56:00.995
of deed restrictions?

1080
00:56:03.015 --> 00:56:04.115
So this is part

1081
00:56:04.115 --> 00:56:06.475
of your architectural review manual? It is.

1082
00:56:06.675 --> 00:56:07.675
I know, I know that's what I'm Saying.

1083
00:56:07.675 --> 00:56:08.635
It's not

1084
00:56:08.635 --> 00:56:10.195
prohibited from the deed restrictions.

1085
00:56:10.635 --> 00:56:12.355
Prohibited sent you the word.

1086
00:56:12.735 --> 00:56:15.195
So it's not an external deed restriction that, uh,

1087
00:56:15.575 --> 00:56:17.395
It hasn't been address, it's Been recorded.

1088
00:56:18.025 --> 00:56:21.155
Yeah. It is an option that three fourths

1089
00:56:21.155 --> 00:56:22.755
of the owners would have to agree to

1090
00:56:23.030 --> 00:56:24.180
before they could do it.

1091
00:56:24.265 --> 00:56:26.725
So it's a pretty high standard when you come down to it.

1092
00:56:26.755 --> 00:56:30.045
Sure. And, and as you've done

1093
00:56:30.045 --> 00:56:32.525
before with this board where someone did come previously,

1094
00:56:32.785 --> 00:56:35.805
um, if there's an HOA involved, you would work with the HOA

1095
00:56:36.025 --> 00:56:37.925
as to whether or not they would like to see this

1096
00:56:37.925 --> 00:56:39.045
as well within their community.

1097
00:56:39.065 --> 00:56:42.635
So it's a double pull for those folks. Okay. Alright.

1098
00:56:43.105 --> 00:56:45.435
Just outta curiosity, do you have an idea of

1099
00:56:45.435 --> 00:56:48.235
how many Courtyard villas are in District one?

1100
00:56:49.095 --> 00:56:50.915
Not off the top of my head. I don't have that number.

1101
00:56:51.055 --> 00:56:52.355
No, I wouldn't expect that.

1102
00:56:52.795 --> 00:56:54.795
I just didn't know whether it, whether it came up,

1103
00:56:54.795 --> 00:56:56.875
didn't know what this lady's workload was gonna

1104
00:56:57.105 --> 00:56:59.795
Well, no, this is just for her particular unit.

1105
00:56:59.975 --> 00:57:01.395
So this would just be for the mayor of Bella.

1106
00:57:01.735 --> 00:57:04.555
Now anybody who has a courtyard would be able to say, well,

1107
00:57:04.555 --> 00:57:06.395
now that the petition process has been approved

1108
00:57:06.455 --> 00:57:08.355
by the board, I know I can go out

1109
00:57:08.415 --> 00:57:09.955
and start the process without having

1110
00:57:09.955 --> 00:57:11.515
to come specifically for their unit.

1111
00:57:11.895 --> 00:57:13.835
So you're, you're approving it as a broad scope

1112
00:57:13.835 --> 00:57:15.715
for all Courtyard Village, but she will just address

1113
00:57:16.175 --> 00:57:17.675
her, her particular area.

1114
00:57:17.855 --> 00:57:18.875
Got it. Mm-hmm.

1115
00:57:19.735 --> 00:57:23.035
My Courtyard Bill neighborhood just approved

1116
00:57:23.795 --> 00:57:26.795
a change in the color palette for, for our area.

1117
00:57:26.935 --> 00:57:30.435
It used to be only two colors, now it's multiple, uh,

1118
00:57:30.815 --> 00:57:33.715
it required 75% petition owners

1119
00:57:33.855 --> 00:57:36.715
and that took over two years for that person to get,

1120
00:57:36.815 --> 00:57:38.075
get all those signatures.

1121
00:57:38.255 --> 00:57:40.755
So it's not an easy undertaking.

1122
00:57:40.905 --> 00:57:43.635
It's, it's, it's actually a very challenging undertaking,

1123
00:57:44.175 --> 00:57:46.315
uh, because a lot of the courtyard bill

1124
00:57:46.315 --> 00:57:48.515
of owners are not even present this time of year.

1125
00:57:48.575 --> 00:57:50.355
You know, they're, they're somewhere else,

1126
00:57:50.575 --> 00:57:51.575
You know? Uh, Mr.

1127
00:57:51.575 --> 00:57:54.395
Hyder, I think 75

1128
00:57:54.495 --> 00:57:56.755
or 85% is much too high.

1129
00:57:57.075 --> 00:58:00.715
I would like to see that level of f around 40%.

1130
00:58:01.665 --> 00:58:04.595
Yeah. I don't necessarily with you there mean.

1131
00:58:08.395 --> 00:58:10.195
I think we might be getting a little

1132
00:58:10.625 --> 00:58:12.355
Yeah, I, I I'll Would

1133
00:58:12.955 --> 00:58:15.075
I, I couldn't, I couldn't support that at all.

1134
00:58:15.315 --> 00:58:16.555
No, I don't think so.

1135
00:58:17.745 --> 00:58:20.555
Yeah, because it affects an individual villa,

1136
00:58:20.575 --> 00:58:22.475
but not so much all the others.

1137
00:58:23.745 --> 00:58:25.435
Well, the color of your house and,

1138
00:58:25.435 --> 00:58:26.555
and whether or not you No, no, no.

1139
00:58:26.555 --> 00:58:28.715
I meant screening, not the color. Yeah. Yeah.

1140
00:58:31.505 --> 00:58:34.875
Okay. Alright. Any further discussion by the board?

1141
00:58:35.135 --> 00:58:36.355
Not we'll entertain a motion.

1142
00:58:37.515 --> 00:58:39.475
I make a motion to approve the petition process

1143
00:58:39.615 --> 00:58:41.955
for screening the front entries in the Courtyard bill unit.

1144
00:58:42.655 --> 00:58:45.195
All right. We have a motion. Second and a second.

1145
00:58:45.615 --> 00:58:48.035
All in favor say aye. A Aye. Any opposed?

1146
00:58:48.175 --> 00:58:50.555
Motion carries unanimously. Thank you ma'am. Thank you.

1147
00:58:50.555 --> 00:58:54.355
Board. Okay,

1148
00:58:55.015 --> 00:58:57.395
on informational items, we have the, uh,

1149
00:58:57.395 --> 00:58:59.035
the normal financial statements,

1150
00:58:59.855 --> 00:59:03.195
the monthly report from property management, uh,

1151
00:59:04.255 --> 00:59:05.835
the a MR meter change out.

1152
00:59:06.425 --> 00:59:08.195
Does anybody have questions about that?

1153
00:59:08.335 --> 00:59:10.195
That's, that's something that's changing.

1154
00:59:11.095 --> 00:59:13.715
Um, in other districts, uh,

1155
00:59:13.865 --> 00:59:18.715
what some people have observed is that they use more water

1156
00:59:18.845 --> 00:59:22.805
after the meter change out and, uh, that's not unusual.

1157
00:59:23.275 --> 00:59:27.365
Okay. Old meters that are worn don't necessarily record

1158
00:59:27.385 --> 00:59:29.605
as many gallons as a brand new meter does.

1159
00:59:30.225 --> 00:59:33.125
So when the change out starts happening in district one,

1160
00:59:33.145 --> 00:59:34.925
you may hear some issues about that

1161
00:59:35.505 --> 00:59:37.965
and that that's perfectly normal.

1162
00:59:38.265 --> 00:59:40.325
That's, that's what you can expect.

1163
00:59:40.505 --> 00:59:43.565
So, uh, it's not the fact that,

1164
00:59:43.635 --> 00:59:46.525
that the meters are designed to charge you more

1165
00:59:46.525 --> 00:59:47.845
for your water, it's the fact

1166
00:59:47.845 --> 00:59:50.885
that they're more accurate in recording the

1167
00:59:50.885 --> 00:59:51.965
gallons that you use.

1168
00:59:53.395 --> 00:59:54.765
Okay. Um,

1169
00:59:56.905 --> 00:59:59.325
And the public hearing updates, anything about that?

1170
00:59:59.895 --> 01:00:01.925
We're still, still moving along.

1171
01:00:01.975 --> 01:00:03.725
We've got a couple of challenges there,

1172
01:00:03.785 --> 01:00:06.765
but we're, we're in a position now to,

1173
01:00:06.765 --> 01:00:08.125
to better address those.

1174
01:00:08.265 --> 01:00:11.285
Is that right counselor? That's correct. Alright sir.

1175
01:00:11.355 --> 01:00:13.005
Alright. District manager reports?

1176
01:00:13.665 --> 01:00:16.605
Yes sir. The first item is your amenity authority

1177
01:00:16.605 --> 01:00:18.485
committee after agenda, um,

1178
01:00:18.485 --> 01:00:19.965
which is attached for your review.

1179
01:00:20.145 --> 01:00:21.885
And your district one representative

1180
01:00:22.065 --> 01:00:23.245
is also in the audience.

1181
01:00:25.235 --> 01:00:26.725
Alright, Mr. Bacaro,

1182
01:00:31.155 --> 01:00:32.155
Good morning again. Congratulations,

1183
01:00:32.155 --> 01:00:36.685
Brian. Glad you've got your sheet. Alright.

1184
01:00:36.705 --> 01:00:39.525
So, uh, in terms of the, uh, uh,

1185
01:00:39.915 --> 01:00:42.405
amenity authority committee, we, um, I,

1186
01:00:42.485 --> 01:00:44.405
I thought had a very nice discussion,

1187
01:00:44.895 --> 01:00:46.805
which originated from Mr.

1188
01:00:46.865 --> 01:00:49.805
Higher on where, where we wanted to get the

1189
01:00:50.745 --> 01:00:52.285
cap on the amenity fees.

1190
01:00:52.405 --> 01:00:53.565
I remember coming here a year

1191
01:00:53.685 --> 01:00:56.645
and a half ago, two years ago with him asking for it,

1192
01:00:57.105 --> 01:00:58.805
and we brought it to the Amenities committee

1193
01:00:58.865 --> 01:01:01.165
and it started a new ball rolling.

1194
01:01:01.545 --> 01:01:06.465
And at this month's meeting, the calf on the amenity fee,

1195
01:01:06.675 --> 01:01:09.585
which was rejected last month, came back up

1196
01:01:09.585 --> 01:01:12.585
to be put back on the agenda the next month.

1197
01:01:13.335 --> 01:01:17.025
Well, after a little bit of debate, uh, about the issue,

1198
01:01:17.045 --> 01:01:19.545
but, you know, we certainly got it back on the agenda

1199
01:01:20.245 --> 01:01:24.145
and I think it's gonna be run in at $199.

1200
01:01:25.925 --> 01:01:27.705
So that was what, uh, we came up with.

1201
01:01:28.485 --> 01:01:30.145
And it's gonna be on next month's meeting.

1202
01:01:30.405 --> 01:01:33.025
We would really appreciate lots of attendance at

1203
01:01:33.025 --> 01:01:34.465
that meeting to try

1204
01:01:34.465 --> 01:01:37.465
and make sure that people understand what's going on

1205
01:01:37.565 --> 01:01:40.505
and what battle you have to fight with the attorneys

1206
01:01:40.505 --> 01:01:43.545
and with everybody else, try and get something done.

1207
01:01:44.365 --> 01:01:46.905
Um, LA Hacienda, I thought it was kind of neat when I read

1208
01:01:46.905 --> 01:01:49.865
through the notes, LA Hacienda, which is closed now

1209
01:01:49.865 --> 01:01:51.985
for a new air conditioning system, uh,

1210
01:01:51.985 --> 01:01:53.825
it's gonna open up on August 18th.

1211
01:01:53.905 --> 01:01:55.345
I thought that was a really nice thing.

1212
01:01:56.125 --> 01:01:58.185
Uh, the budget for the a a C did pass.

1213
01:01:58.445 --> 01:02:00.185
Uh, I, I did not vote for it

1214
01:02:00.185 --> 01:02:01.545
because of the Mirror Mesa building

1215
01:02:01.975 --> 01:02:04.945
that I rejected last year and I rejected again this year.

1216
01:02:05.545 --> 01:02:08.425
I just don't think it's a real amenity.

1217
01:02:08.845 --> 01:02:11.305
Um, and then there turned out somehow or another,

1218
01:02:11.525 --> 01:02:14.505
and I really don't know how it happened, it turned out

1219
01:02:15.355 --> 01:02:19.325
North Morris Boulevard came up as a way

1220
01:02:19.325 --> 01:02:21.685
to save money from Community Watch

1221
01:02:22.305 --> 01:02:24.205
and it came up on the agenda

1222
01:02:24.985 --> 01:02:26.445
or someone discussed it actually.

1223
01:02:26.445 --> 01:02:29.965
And we got it on the agenda for next month, uh, of dealing

1224
01:02:29.965 --> 01:02:33.245
with some issues, some adjustments to the gates,

1225
01:02:33.245 --> 01:02:35.405
and maybe we could save some money on community watch,

1226
01:02:35.775 --> 01:02:38.245
which I think a lot of people are interested in

1227
01:02:38.355 --> 01:02:43.045
because the budget's $3.6 million just north of 4 66,

1228
01:02:43.505 --> 01:02:44.605
if we can save some money

1229
01:02:44.905 --> 01:02:47.005
and staff seems to be one of the bigger issues.

1230
01:02:47.785 --> 01:02:50.605
Uh, it came up as if we got rid of the gates

1231
01:02:50.605 --> 01:02:51.765
and we did this and that.

1232
01:02:52.385 --> 01:02:54.565
Uh, so I think next month, again, on top

1233
01:02:54.565 --> 01:02:56.165
of the amenity fees,

1234
01:02:56.445 --> 01:02:59.765
I think some discussion on North North Boulevard and safety

1235
01:03:00.145 --> 01:03:02.645
and concerns is gonna come back up.

1236
01:03:03.755 --> 01:03:05.125
Okay. Any questions?

1237
01:03:06.145 --> 01:03:07.925
Um, two questions.

1238
01:03:08.505 --> 01:03:11.685
Uh, regarding the, uh, gates.

1239
01:03:12.665 --> 01:03:15.525
Do you know how allegating

1240
01:03:16.025 --> 01:03:19.685
or our, uh, manned gates compares

1241
01:03:19.715 --> 01:03:21.125
with the PA system?

1242
01:03:21.465 --> 01:03:24.325
Do we have a higher percent, lower percent?

1243
01:03:24.465 --> 01:03:25.645
Oh, I don't really don't, I'm sorry.

1244
01:03:25.685 --> 01:03:27.765
I don't know that, you know, I know that Mr.

1245
01:03:28.325 --> 01:03:30.485
Nehemiah Wolf Yeah.

1246
01:03:30.485 --> 01:03:33.325
Came up with, you know, here, here's the traffic

1247
01:03:33.865 --> 01:03:38.285
at the South Gate on North Morris Boulevard, which the day

1248
01:03:38.285 --> 01:03:39.365
that they took the reading,

1249
01:03:40.065 --> 01:03:42.445
and again, if you happen to be in the demonstration,

1250
01:03:42.745 --> 01:03:44.325
it must have been at one of them days,

1251
01:03:44.865 --> 01:03:48.045
it was 15 plus thousand cars coming through

1252
01:03:48.045 --> 01:03:49.885
that gate, back and forth.

1253
01:03:50.105 --> 01:03:53.445
He said, he said it included people going back out, right.

1254
01:03:53.545 --> 01:03:55.965
So I'm, you know, okay, I'm gonna have to buy into that.

1255
01:03:56.225 --> 01:03:57.325
But it was a really busy

1256
01:03:57.705 --> 01:03:59.165
and there were times you couldn't cross

1257
01:03:59.185 --> 01:04:00.285
the street for five minutes.

1258
01:04:00.535 --> 01:04:02.285
There was that much traffic coming through.

1259
01:04:02.505 --> 01:04:04.925
So it was a very interesting discussion.

1260
01:04:05.285 --> 01:04:07.725
I think it's gotta be the busiest gate in the villages.

1261
01:04:08.385 --> 01:04:10.125
Uh, right now, I don't know about

1262
01:04:10.165 --> 01:04:11.285
what's going on down south.

1263
01:04:11.905 --> 01:04:13.885
The busiest gate, the gate, mm-hmm.

1264
01:04:14.065 --> 01:04:17.325
On the north end of North Morris Boulevard was 11,000.

1265
01:04:17.945 --> 01:04:20.285
So 15,000. 11,000.

1266
01:04:20.285 --> 01:04:21.605
Okay. Thank you. You are welcome.

1267
01:04:21.985 --> 01:04:26.085
And, um, another question

1268
01:04:26.085 --> 01:04:27.205
about the cap.

1269
01:04:28.425 --> 01:04:30.645
Um, how about,

1270
01:04:31.305 --> 01:04:33.485
and I don't know where to suggest this,

1271
01:04:33.585 --> 01:04:37.205
but getting a lot of publicity about the meeting

1272
01:04:37.355 --> 01:04:40.845
regarding the cap, you said the more people that come,

1273
01:04:41.185 --> 01:04:42.765
the more support we would have

1274
01:04:42.865 --> 01:04:44.765
for a cap on the amenities fees.

1275
01:04:45.865 --> 01:04:50.485
Uh, if we could get that somehow in the Daily Sun

1276
01:04:50.665 --> 01:04:52.125
or the Village News,

1277
01:04:52.905 --> 01:04:57.885
or any public, you know, public relations outlet,

1278
01:04:58.515 --> 01:04:59.605
that would be great.

1279
01:04:59.905 --> 01:05:01.485
And hopefully it would be

1280
01:05:01.485 --> 01:05:03.685
after September when some

1281
01:05:03.685 --> 01:05:06.405
of the people start coming back, the snowbirds.

1282
01:05:06.995 --> 01:05:09.605
Well, the meeting is next month. Oh, okay.

1283
01:05:09.785 --> 01:05:11.605
So, you know, it is what it is, right? Yeah.

1284
01:05:11.675 --> 01:05:12.685
Just like your meetings.

1285
01:05:12.685 --> 01:05:14.605
It is what, it's, it's on the agenda.

1286
01:05:14.625 --> 01:05:15.965
It doesn't mean it's gonna go away.

1287
01:05:16.395 --> 01:05:17.605
It's gonna get on the agenda

1288
01:05:17.605 --> 01:05:19.845
and I think it's gonna be discussed, uh, thoroughly.

1289
01:05:20.465 --> 01:05:22.005
Uh, but I do think there'll be a nice

1290
01:05:22.005 --> 01:05:23.285
representation from people.

1291
01:05:23.445 --> 01:05:26.285
I know that our neighborhood put something out to get people

1292
01:05:26.285 --> 01:05:28.125
to come to the meeting last month

1293
01:05:28.785 --> 01:05:31.045
and the, you know, the late for three hours

1294
01:05:31.055 --> 01:05:32.085
where people were sitting there,

1295
01:05:32.985 --> 01:05:34.765
You know, unlike the general

1296
01:05:35.425 --> 01:05:39.325
apathy we get in village in, uh, district one

1297
01:05:40.095 --> 01:05:42.525
where people don't wanna be involved

1298
01:05:42.865 --> 01:05:44.485
unless there's a problem.

1299
01:05:44.755 --> 01:05:47.085
They're retired, some of them are older

1300
01:05:48.065 --> 01:05:50.645
and they just wanna live their lives peacefully.

1301
01:05:51.475 --> 01:05:54.285
When it comes to money, a lot

1302
01:05:54.365 --> 01:05:56.085
of times you get more of an interest.

1303
01:05:56.385 --> 01:06:01.365
So, um, I'd like to see us appeal to that, uh,

1304
01:06:01.955 --> 01:06:05.565
because if there's no cap, you know, the,

1305
01:06:05.875 --> 01:06:09.005
there's no limit on future increases.

1306
01:06:09.425 --> 01:06:12.125
It was the most interesting, um, uh, piece of paper

1307
01:06:12.125 --> 01:06:13.725
that they put out was the,

1308
01:06:14.315 --> 01:06:17.445
what people are paying right now.

1309
01:06:17.785 --> 01:06:20.485
Mm-hmm. So it seems like a majority of people,

1310
01:06:20.505 --> 01:06:24.765
almost a majority of people are at, at about 185 to 190,

1311
01:06:24.825 --> 01:06:28.925
$99, but there's still people paying 218.

1312
01:06:29.905 --> 01:06:32.605
So there's people beyond that number now. Mm-hmm.

1313
01:06:32.985 --> 01:06:36.125
So if you start cranking 3% on top of this,

1314
01:06:36.145 --> 01:06:38.645
and on top of that, the numbers start to, you know,

1315
01:06:38.965 --> 01:06:41.205
escalate pretty, pretty quickly or two point a half percent.

1316
01:06:41.205 --> 01:06:43.925
Mm-hmm. Whatever we happen to use the developer uses.

1317
01:06:44.465 --> 01:06:46.685
So, you know, I think that if we can hold it and,

1318
01:06:47.025 --> 01:06:51.645
and north of 4 66, personally, personally, think

1319
01:06:51.645 --> 01:06:54.765
that we have the budget to withstand it, and,

1320
01:06:54.765 --> 01:06:59.405
but when our bonds, which are going to expire in 36

1321
01:07:00.015 --> 01:07:02.205
right around the corner, you know, we've been paying them

1322
01:07:02.225 --> 01:07:04.805
for 25, 25 years, they're gonna expire

1323
01:07:05.145 --> 01:07:08.845
and we're gonna pick up a lot of money that we, you know,

1324
01:07:09.065 --> 01:07:12.045
should be able to help maintain the infrastructure,

1325
01:07:12.425 --> 01:07:14.285
at least in my mind, maintain the

1326
01:07:14.285 --> 01:07:15.765
infrastructure that we need here.

1327
01:07:16.505 --> 01:07:19.605
Um, without holding, without raising the fees.

1328
01:07:20.195 --> 01:07:22.685
It's a big issue. You know, give, gimme an idea of

1329
01:07:22.685 --> 01:07:24.165
what you think that pot's worth.

1330
01:07:24.715 --> 01:07:27.805
What pot is that? The amount of money that's,

1331
01:07:29.595 --> 01:07:31.085
well, I think, I thought it was like

1332
01:07:31.085 --> 01:07:32.805
$12 million a year extra.

1333
01:07:32.835 --> 01:07:34.525
Yeah, that's what we would get.

1334
01:07:34.715 --> 01:07:36.165
I've heard a figure before,

1335
01:07:36.185 --> 01:07:39.525
but I don't, I think it's, I think it's really more than

1336
01:07:39.525 --> 01:07:41.125
that, but that includes the interest.

1337
01:07:41.555 --> 01:07:42.965
Yeah. But right now, you know,

1338
01:07:42.965 --> 01:07:45.565
I think in 36 we pick up that 12 million.

1339
01:07:45.755 --> 01:07:47.645
Yeah. 12 million's a lot, right? Yeah.

1340
01:07:47.645 --> 01:07:51.525
That's a lot of income. So if we can withstand it till then,

1341
01:07:52.065 --> 01:07:55.045
and there's reasons why you can't withstand it, which is

1342
01:07:55.045 --> 01:07:56.565
what would be reviewed every year.

1343
01:07:56.835 --> 01:07:58.525
There's reasons why you can't,

1344
01:07:58.835 --> 01:08:01.405
there's a bond minimum you have to have in a bank

1345
01:08:02.225 --> 01:08:04.405
and you can't exceed that fine minimum.

1346
01:08:04.435 --> 01:08:06.125
Yeah. Okay. You can't drop below that,

1347
01:08:06.785 --> 01:08:10.125
but we can, if we can make it that far, you know, all

1348
01:08:10.125 --> 01:08:11.765
of a sudden we're picking up 12, 13,

1349
01:08:13.145 --> 01:08:16.045
Gee, we could fix Moores Boulevard with 12 million.

1350
01:08:16.395 --> 01:08:18.445
Well, we can't. I Could probably do it for nine

1351
01:08:18.465 --> 01:08:19.485
or 10 20 million.

1352
01:08:22.645 --> 01:08:27.365
Anything else? Questions? Thank you, Jim. I appreciate it.

1353
01:08:27.705 --> 01:08:28.705
Thanks Jim.

1354
01:08:30.705 --> 01:08:33.925
And the only other item I have on District manager report

1355
01:08:34.385 --> 01:08:37.725
is a meeting schedule that has been included.

1356
01:08:38.345 --> 01:08:40.805
Um, if you look at the overall meeting schedule,

1357
01:08:40.945 --> 01:08:44.365
you will see that staff has attempted to combine all

1358
01:08:44.365 --> 01:08:46.525
of the meetings for district fours

1359
01:08:46.525 --> 01:08:48.165
and committees into one week of the month.

1360
01:08:48.665 --> 01:08:51.525
Uh, we currently have about 26 meetings every month

1361
01:08:51.785 --> 01:08:54.365
and growing as the villages continues to grow.

1362
01:08:54.865 --> 01:08:58.845
So this was an attempt for us to, um, only have one week

1363
01:08:58.845 --> 01:09:01.325
of designated meetings, both for ourself

1364
01:09:01.425 --> 01:09:04.605
and the district councils that also have to, um,

1365
01:09:04.985 --> 01:09:06.125
attend all of the meetings.

1366
01:09:06.625 --> 01:09:10.805
Uh, you are unchanged though, so we are proposing

1367
01:09:10.805 --> 01:09:12.445
that you remain on the second Friday

1368
01:09:12.505 --> 01:09:14.885
of the month at eight o'clock here at Savannah Center.

1369
01:09:15.305 --> 01:09:18.085
Um, so as long as this board is agreeable to maintaining

1370
01:09:18.085 --> 01:09:21.165
that schedule, we will have this on your agenda in August

1371
01:09:21.265 --> 01:09:22.805
for final approval and adoption.

1372
01:09:25.485 --> 01:09:27.085
I think we see consensus there,

1373
01:09:27.825 --> 01:09:30.125
and I appreciate your efforts to try

1374
01:09:30.125 --> 01:09:31.245
to be more efficient with that.

1375
01:09:31.325 --> 01:09:34.805
I certainly understand why you, you need time

1376
01:09:34.805 --> 01:09:36.765
to work on projects instead of going

1377
01:09:36.765 --> 01:09:37.885
to meetings all the time.

1378
01:09:38.065 --> 01:09:42.245
So that's, uh, that's a nice, uh, a nice effort there.

1379
01:09:42.245 --> 01:09:43.365
Thank, thank you. I'm sure it took a lot

1380
01:09:43.365 --> 01:09:44.485
of effort to put that together.

1381
01:09:44.625 --> 01:09:48.725
So, district council? Yes, sir. I have two reports.

1382
01:09:48.925 --> 01:09:50.885
I wanna start with the second one first, which deals

1383
01:09:50.885 --> 01:09:53.165
with my attendance at the Architectural Review Committee

1384
01:09:53.165 --> 01:09:55.645
meetings, uh, with a new check, uh, schedule change.

1385
01:09:55.645 --> 01:09:57.965
You'll see on Wednesdays, I'm gonna be attending meetings

1386
01:09:57.965 --> 01:09:59.885
for District 11, nine and 10,

1387
01:10:00.385 --> 01:10:02.445
and Architectural Review Committee is actually

1388
01:10:02.445 --> 01:10:03.725
held on Wednesdays as well.

1389
01:10:04.305 --> 01:10:07.405
Uh, that, um, and in combination of the budget

1390
01:10:07.435 --> 01:10:09.405
that you guys have been working on in an attempt

1391
01:10:09.405 --> 01:10:10.405
to save you guys some money,

1392
01:10:10.905 --> 01:10:13.445
the question is whether you need me to continue

1393
01:10:13.505 --> 01:10:16.045
to attend the Architectural Review Committees.

1394
01:10:16.185 --> 01:10:18.365
Now, I've brought this to all my other districts,

1395
01:10:18.365 --> 01:10:21.285
and I represent one through 10 for ARC minus seven.

1396
01:10:22.105 --> 01:10:24.325
Um, and so far they've all, excuse me from that,

1397
01:10:24.805 --> 01:10:27.365
attending the Architectural Review Committee, uh, meetings.

1398
01:10:27.365 --> 01:10:29.725
And so what we would do going forward, if you agree,

1399
01:10:29.725 --> 01:10:32.125
would be I would work with staff, um,

1400
01:10:32.185 --> 01:10:35.005
before any meetings to review any, uh, applications

1401
01:10:35.005 --> 01:10:36.005
that might have issues

1402
01:10:36.025 --> 01:10:38.805
or concerns, uh, resolve those before the meeting.

1403
01:10:39.185 --> 01:10:42.605
If anything came up during the meeting, uh, they would table

1404
01:10:42.635 --> 01:10:44.085
that to the following Wednesday

1405
01:10:44.105 --> 01:10:47.245
and meet with me in between to discuss the application

1406
01:10:47.385 --> 01:10:48.445
and have information

1407
01:10:48.465 --> 01:10:50.525
for the Architectural Review Committee at the next meeting.

1408
01:10:51.025 --> 01:10:52.805
Now, supervisor Miller, he's the one

1409
01:10:52.805 --> 01:10:55.165
who was the most recent from this board on

1410
01:10:55.165 --> 01:10:56.245
the Architectural Review Committee.

1411
01:10:56.625 --> 01:10:57.925
And I think he can attest to the fact

1412
01:10:57.925 --> 01:11:00.365
that staff really does, um, the majority of the work.

1413
01:11:00.365 --> 01:11:02.965
There's rarely any legal issues that come up.

1414
01:11:03.015 --> 01:11:05.445
Staff is very familiar, obviously, with all the rules

1415
01:11:05.545 --> 01:11:07.965
and the deed, uh, restrictions, um,

1416
01:11:08.025 --> 01:11:10.445
the Architectural Review manual because they're the one.

1417
01:11:11.025 --> 01:11:14.165
So again, I, I rarely speak at these meetings.

1418
01:11:14.865 --> 01:11:16.405
Uh, sometimes I'm asked questions,

1419
01:11:16.405 --> 01:11:18.005
but they're not really legal questions.

1420
01:11:18.465 --> 01:11:21.645
Um, and again, I'm confident, um, that staff can handle it

1421
01:11:21.665 --> 01:11:22.685
and working with me.

1422
01:11:23.145 --> 01:11:25.525
Um, I do meet with them weekly as it is now.

1423
01:11:25.595 --> 01:11:26.685
I'll continue to meet with them

1424
01:11:26.685 --> 01:11:27.925
and discuss things from,

1425
01:11:27.925 --> 01:11:30.605
everything from deed compliance issues to, uh,

1426
01:11:30.605 --> 01:11:32.205
architectural review committee issues,

1427
01:11:32.555 --> 01:11:34.325
application issues and things like that.

1428
01:11:34.425 --> 01:11:36.765
So I personally don't think I need to be there.

1429
01:11:36.945 --> 01:11:41.085
My understanding is for many, many, many years, uh, your,

1430
01:11:41.315 --> 01:11:43.885
your attorney didn't attend these architectural Review

1431
01:11:43.885 --> 01:11:46.325
Committee meetings, but I have been doing it since I've

1432
01:11:46.325 --> 01:11:48.405
been, uh, an attorney for this board, which is, uh,

1433
01:11:48.955 --> 01:11:50.205
over five years now.

1434
01:11:50.625 --> 01:11:53.085
Uh, so again, the question is do, are you okay

1435
01:11:53.085 --> 01:11:54.685
with me not attending these meetings,

1436
01:11:54.685 --> 01:11:55.925
saving you guys some money

1437
01:11:56.065 --> 01:11:58.365
and we'll continue to work with staff with any issues

1438
01:11:58.365 --> 01:12:00.565
that may come up with regard to those applications.

1439
01:12:01.085 --> 01:12:03.725
I wanna ask. Thank you. Bill's opinion. Pardon me?

1440
01:12:04.515 --> 01:12:06.165
Yeah, I, I'm happy with that

1441
01:12:07.265 --> 01:12:08.265
Mr. Mill.

1442
01:12:08.265 --> 01:12:08.645
I agree.

1443
01:12:09.035 --> 01:12:12.285
Okay. That does, right. Tremendous job.

1444
01:12:12.675 --> 01:12:16.405
They, they've got a, a set of standards that they have to

1445
01:12:17.185 --> 01:12:20.165
use and there's not much deviation from that.

1446
01:12:21.035 --> 01:12:25.205
That requires an awful lot of, uh, additional judgment.

1447
01:12:25.445 --> 01:12:26.445
I don't think

1448
01:12:27.305 --> 01:12:28.505
I, I tend to agree.

1449
01:12:28.645 --> 01:12:30.945
And, and if an issue comes up, we,

1450
01:12:30.955 --> 01:12:33.225
we've still got the avail a availability.

1451
01:12:33.495 --> 01:12:36.745
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I think we have a consensus, sir. Yep.

1452
01:12:36.855 --> 01:12:39.825
Okay, great. Uh, the next report is gonna be just a reminder

1453
01:12:39.825 --> 01:12:41.785
that your next supervisor only training and ethics

1454
01:12:41.785 --> 01:12:43.865
and public records and Sunshine Law scheduled

1455
01:12:43.865 --> 01:12:45.865
for August 18 at 1:30 PM

1456
01:12:46.045 --> 01:12:47.745
and that's gonna be held at the district office.

1457
01:12:48.365 --> 01:12:49.945
If you're unable to attend that one

1458
01:12:50.165 --> 01:12:53.265
or you need additional hours, I'm also providing

1459
01:12:53.265 --> 01:12:55.545
that training on October 27th at one 30.

1460
01:12:55.565 --> 01:12:57.185
And that's at the district office as well.

1461
01:12:57.725 --> 01:12:58.745
Uh, if you need hours

1462
01:12:58.845 --> 01:13:01.225
and for a new supervisor, you're required to have four hours

1463
01:13:01.225 --> 01:13:02.505
of ethics training per year.

1464
01:13:02.935 --> 01:13:05.425
Each one of my training sessions last about two hours,

1465
01:13:05.485 --> 01:13:06.945
so you can claim two hours per.

1466
01:13:07.525 --> 01:13:09.305
Um, there's also additional resources

1467
01:13:09.305 --> 01:13:11.945
that you can get from the clerk if you, uh, want to attend,

1468
01:13:12.045 --> 01:13:13.265
uh, maybe by internet.

1469
01:13:13.335 --> 01:13:15.265
There's online courses that you can take.

1470
01:13:15.845 --> 01:13:18.145
In any event, if you're interested in attending either one

1471
01:13:18.145 --> 01:13:21.985
of these or both, or if you want to get information on, um,

1472
01:13:22.045 --> 01:13:24.425
online resources, you can just reach out

1473
01:13:24.425 --> 01:13:25.545
to the clerk's office and they'll

1474
01:13:25.545 --> 01:13:26.625
provide that information to you.

1475
01:13:27.435 --> 01:13:30.105
Thank you. And those are all my reports.

1476
01:13:30.335 --> 01:13:31.705
Alright, thank you sir.

1477
01:13:33.685 --> 01:13:37.345
Um, and the, from what I understand, the, uh,

1478
01:13:37.345 --> 01:13:41.905
the ethics training is, uh, due by the end

1479
01:13:41.925 --> 01:13:46.545
of June for supervisors that were, um, on board

1480
01:13:47.925 --> 01:13:49.345
in January of this year.

1481
01:13:49.405 --> 01:13:52.185
Is that correct? January or the previous year?

1482
01:13:52.185 --> 01:13:55.145
January the previous year, correct. So, mm-hmm.

1483
01:13:55.525 --> 01:13:57.945
For the new supervisor, I'm just, you,

1484
01:13:57.945 --> 01:13:59.385
you've got a little time to do it.

1485
01:13:59.385 --> 01:14:01.945
Correct. The rest of us had to get our four hours in.

1486
01:14:02.125 --> 01:14:04.345
So is there a repeat requirement

1487
01:14:04.955 --> 01:14:06.145
Every year, calendar year,

1488
01:14:06.175 --> 01:14:08.265
four hour year every year, sir? Yes.

1489
01:14:08.625 --> 01:14:13.125
I missed it. Alright.

1490
01:14:13.505 --> 01:14:17.365
Um, supervisor comments. We'll start with Ms. Cora. Okay.

1491
01:14:17.835 --> 01:14:19.845
Okay. Mr. Ez?

1492
01:14:20.555 --> 01:14:23.845
Nope. Alright. I have nothing other than

1493
01:14:23.845 --> 01:14:26.245
the, alright, Mr.

1494
01:14:27.045 --> 01:14:30.205
I want to say thank you and glad that I could affect a, uh,

1495
01:14:30.665 --> 01:14:32.805
uh, or decrease in the maintenance

1496
01:14:32.805 --> 01:14:33.805
Fee Okay. Immediately before

1497
01:14:33.805 --> 01:14:34.405
my arrival.

1498
01:14:37.225 --> 01:14:39.365
Not necessarily a decrease, just keeping it level,

1499
01:14:39.465 --> 01:14:41.525
but yes, it, it's still a good thing to do.

1500
01:14:42.865 --> 01:14:44.205
Uh, I have one comment.

1501
01:14:44.545 --> 01:14:48.445
Um, I would like to see this board review the, uh, the,

1502
01:14:48.505 --> 01:14:51.525
the new parking, um, requirements so

1503
01:14:51.525 --> 01:14:52.725
that we could enforce parking.

1504
01:14:53.235 --> 01:14:57.125
Some of our villa neighborhoods are having issues with, uh,

1505
01:14:57.125 --> 01:14:59.525
people parking in them that don't even live there.

1506
01:15:00.025 --> 01:15:01.365
Uh, so I would like for that

1507
01:15:01.365 --> 01:15:03.285
to be put on our future agenda, please,

1508
01:15:03.745 --> 01:15:04.745
For towing.

1509
01:15:05.145 --> 01:15:09.285
Yes, sir. To be able to tow, um, parts of cars

1510
01:15:09.285 --> 01:15:12.405
that are parked illegally or, uh, inappropriately.

1511
01:15:12.865 --> 01:15:14.125
Yes, sir. We'll add that to next.

1512
01:15:14.125 --> 01:15:16.725
Thank you. Agenda. Anything else? Yes.

1513
01:15:16.785 --> 01:15:20.125
Are you saying that this is identified

1514
01:15:20.185 --> 01:15:22.645
as a continuing problem in specific areas

1515
01:15:22.905 --> 01:15:24.365
or right across the board?

1516
01:15:26.115 --> 01:15:29.285
What I've heard from people that live in Villa communities

1517
01:15:29.345 --> 01:15:33.365
as well as my own, is that, um, there are residents

1518
01:15:33.365 --> 01:15:36.605
that use the, uh, guest parking in villa communities

1519
01:15:36.635 --> 01:15:39.045
that don't even live in that villa community.

1520
01:15:39.515 --> 01:15:41.565
They live in homes in other places,

1521
01:15:41.785 --> 01:15:45.045
but they can't park the car on the street or, or whatever.

1522
01:15:45.105 --> 01:15:47.925
And they feel like that's a safer location than some

1523
01:15:47.925 --> 01:15:49.205
of the larger parking lots.

1524
01:15:49.625 --> 01:15:51.645
Uh, and it's beginning to be an issue.

1525
01:15:51.785 --> 01:15:53.325
Uh, you know, so, uh, some

1526
01:15:53.325 --> 01:15:56.605
of the villa communities have very limited guest parking

1527
01:15:57.065 --> 01:16:00.365
and, uh, if people start utilizing that, they're, they,

1528
01:16:00.395 --> 01:16:03.405
they basically have no guest parking, so their guests

1529
01:16:04.255 --> 01:16:06.645
don't have any place to park at at their home.

1530
01:16:06.825 --> 01:16:09.605
So, uh, I'd like to see us be able to address that.

1531
01:16:09.855 --> 01:16:12.485
Other districts have have talked about this issue

1532
01:16:12.505 --> 01:16:13.505
As well. The other districts

1533
01:16:13.505 --> 01:16:14.725
have it. Yes. Yes.

1534
01:16:14.725 --> 01:16:16.325
What do they use for identification?

1535
01:16:18.105 --> 01:16:22.725
The, So there's, there's various, um, ways based on

1536
01:16:22.725 --> 01:16:25.765
what, how the areas are dedicated in the plat.

1537
01:16:26.225 --> 01:16:28.485
So part of stats research would be

1538
01:16:28.545 --> 01:16:30.445
to look at the villa units and the parking

1539
01:16:30.825 --> 01:16:34.085
and determine who is who that plat in

1540
01:16:34.085 --> 01:16:35.685
that parking area is dedicated to,

1541
01:16:36.105 --> 01:16:38.885
if it is only the villa owners, if it is the public.

1542
01:16:39.625 --> 01:16:42.765
So part of staff's research would be to determine all of

1543
01:16:42.765 --> 01:16:45.605
that, and then that would be incorporated into a rule

1544
01:16:45.995 --> 01:16:48.765
that you would adopt in a public hearing, um,

1545
01:16:48.795 --> 01:16:52.965
that would allow us after certain criteria has been met

1546
01:16:52.985 --> 01:16:54.005
and notices have been

1547
01:16:54.245 --> 01:16:57.445
provided us to ultimately tow if they're in

1548
01:16:57.565 --> 01:16:58.925
violation of your parking rule.

1549
01:16:58.995 --> 01:17:02.485
Yeah. Would that be supplemented by

1550
01:17:02.675 --> 01:17:04.245
what we call a community watch?

1551
01:17:06.505 --> 01:17:10.525
It, it, um, the districts that have already completed it,

1552
01:17:10.665 --> 01:17:12.645
it is on a complaint driven process.

1553
01:17:12.835 --> 01:17:15.445
Just like she's compliant complaint. Okay. Yes, sir.

1554
01:17:15.595 --> 01:17:16.805
Okay. Yep. Okay.

1555
01:17:18.425 --> 01:17:22.405
So before we, uh, end our, our session today, I think Mr.

1556
01:17:22.405 --> 01:17:25.765
Brightman has, uh, he wants to address the board.

1557
01:17:26.675 --> 01:17:29.045
Good morning. Bob Brightman, seven 30 Cimarron Avenue.

1558
01:17:29.315 --> 01:17:32.525
Regarding the issue of parking in the communities.

1559
01:17:33.305 --> 01:17:36.845
Uh, my understanding is that

1560
01:17:37.705 --> 01:17:40.405
the freestanding homes are u

1561
01:17:40.505 --> 01:17:44.165
or traditionally are stereotypically on dedicated public

1562
01:17:44.165 --> 01:17:48.325
streets and that the villas based on their width,

1563
01:17:49.375 --> 01:17:52.365
could not be dedicated to the public to the county.

1564
01:17:52.825 --> 01:17:55.325
So those are private roadways

1565
01:17:55.665 --> 01:17:58.645
and parking is exclusive to

1566
01:17:59.215 --> 01:18:00.685
those currently.

1567
01:18:00.825 --> 01:18:03.125
Is that correct? That's correct, that's correct.

1568
01:18:03.465 --> 01:18:07.645
So the review of the parking is for villas, not

1569
01:18:07.825 --> 01:18:08.845
for public streets.

1570
01:18:09.305 --> 01:18:12.005
So the villa roads are public roads.

1571
01:18:12.035 --> 01:18:14.125
However, because of their design

1572
01:18:14.145 --> 01:18:15.965
and the inverted drainage system,

1573
01:18:16.505 --> 01:18:18.605
the county would not assume responsibility

1574
01:18:18.625 --> 01:18:20.165
for maintenance of those roads.

1575
01:18:20.705 --> 01:18:22.085
So they're still public,

1576
01:18:22.425 --> 01:18:24.965
but they're, the county would not assume maintenance.

1577
01:18:25.665 --> 01:18:28.205
The PLAs actually dedicate,

1578
01:18:28.265 --> 01:18:31.085
and it, we're not specifically just talking about the

1579
01:18:31.085 --> 01:18:32.965
roadways, but the parking areas

1580
01:18:33.145 --> 01:18:37.165
and the overflow parking, the PLAs dedicate it to the use

1581
01:18:37.225 --> 01:18:39.645
and enjoyment of specific individuals.

1582
01:18:40.195 --> 01:18:44.045
Some of them say to the, the public, some of them say

1583
01:18:44.105 --> 01:18:46.525
for owners, invitees and guests.

1584
01:18:47.385 --> 01:18:49.645
And the one consistent thing is

1585
01:18:49.645 --> 01:18:50.845
that they are not consistent.

1586
01:18:51.025 --> 01:18:54.165
So we would actually have to pull each plat for those areas,

1587
01:18:54.495 --> 01:18:58.485
which we've done for, um, I believe we've done so far

1588
01:18:58.485 --> 01:19:00.365
for districts two, three, and four.

1589
01:19:01.065 --> 01:19:03.125
Um, so certainly this is something

1590
01:19:03.125 --> 01:19:05.685
that we will start pulling the information

1591
01:19:05.685 --> 01:19:08.685
and being prepared to discuss, um, at your next meeting.

1592
01:19:09.055 --> 01:19:13.365
There is another caveat with district one in that the, um,

1593
01:19:13.365 --> 01:19:15.445
there are HOAs, so we would have

1594
01:19:15.445 --> 01:19:18.045
to determine if it's actually district property

1595
01:19:18.465 --> 01:19:19.805
or HOA property.

1596
01:19:19.985 --> 01:19:22.365
So that'll be another level that we'll be, um,

1597
01:19:22.925 --> 01:19:24.365
researching within your district.

1598
01:19:24.985 --> 01:19:27.485
So sub one, uh, sub one category is not,

1599
01:19:27.485 --> 01:19:30.525
is not applicable into those villa areas based on the PLA

1600
01:19:32.015 --> 01:19:35.725
subsection one of the, the traffic safety rules, uh,

1601
01:19:35.725 --> 01:19:38.605
federal traffic safety sub one.

1602
01:19:38.605 --> 01:19:41.005
Where they're dedicated over is what you're saying

1603
01:19:41.005 --> 01:19:42.725
that the plats individually may

1604
01:19:42.785 --> 01:19:44.725
assign who can use those spaces?

1605
01:19:44.945 --> 01:19:46.205
Yes. Okay. Thank you.

1606
01:19:46.575 --> 01:19:50.125
Thank you. Thanks, Bob. Okay.

1607
01:19:50.125 --> 01:19:51.165
Without further comments,

1608
01:19:51.295 --> 01:19:53.005
we'll entertain a motion to adjourn.

1609
01:19:53.275 --> 01:19:57.965
Make a motion to adjourn. Motion. And a second. Second.

1610
01:19:58.305 --> 01:20:00.725
All right. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye.
