adjacent to Old Camp Road.

35

Geo technical testing was completed,

36
00:01:50.505 --> 00:01:53.225
and concrete grout injection had been recommended

37
00:01:53.225 --> 00:01:54.425

46
00:02:11.185 --> 00:02:14.825

47
00:02:15.355 --> 00:02:17.425

I know the financial statements.

66
00:03:14.625 --> 00:03:16.685
Ms. Lee Norris will be coming up here

67
00:03:16.685 --> 00:03:18.445
to go over the financial statements.

68
00:03:24.045 --> 00:03:25.285
Jennifer, Good morning Board.

69
00:03:25.485 --> 00:03:27.685
Jennifer Lee Norris Finance here to give you an overview

70
00:03:27.685 --> 00:03:31.005
of your financial statements as of September 30th, 2025.

71
00:03:31.185 --> 00:03:33.045
And just keep in mind, we're still, um, going

72
00:03:33.045 --> 00:03:34.725
through our audit process and accruals.

73
00:03:34.785 --> 00:03:36.925
So, um, these are preliminary statements.

74
00:03:37.705 --> 00:03:39.285
So for your proprietary funds,

75
00:03:39.285 --> 00:03:40.965
your central landing amenity division,

76
00:03:40.985 --> 00:03:43.365
and your central landing fitness fund, your year

77
00:03:43.365 --> 00:03:45.645
to date revenues are 127 million.

78
00:03:46.225 --> 00:03:49.245
That's greater than prior year revenue of 99 million

79
00:03:49.345 --> 00:03:52.605
and 106% of your budget, they increase, of course,

80
00:03:52.605 --> 00:03:56.205
it's mainly due to the amenity slide sale with approximately

81
00:03:56.725 --> 00:03:58.205
14,000 amenity rooftops.

82
00:03:58.625 --> 00:04:01.245
In addition, uh, miscellaneous income one time, um,

83
00:04:01.245 --> 00:04:03.325
miscellaneous income of $3 million

84
00:04:03.385 --> 00:04:06.245
for developer contributions for operational needs related

85
00:04:06.245 --> 00:04:07.245
to the amenity sale.

86
00:04:07.875 --> 00:04:10.045
Also included in your revenues is investment income

87
00:04:10.045 --> 00:04:14.085
of 7,000,004, um, hundred 80,000 with realized gains

88
00:04:14.085 --> 00:04:17.765
of 5 million and unrealized gains of 2.4 million of

89
00:04:17.765 --> 00:04:20.245
that investment earnings, debt service amount earned, um,

90
00:04:20.265 --> 00:04:23.725
601,000, which is restricted to be used for your debt.

91
00:04:23.745 --> 00:04:27.485
Um, obligations overall, that is 1.8, uh,

92
00:04:27.485 --> 00:04:28.525
decreased from last year.

93
00:04:28.785 --> 00:04:31.085
Um, however, it's 194%

94
00:04:31.085 --> 00:04:33.565
of your budgeted investment incomes income.

95
00:04:33.625 --> 00:04:36.205
Uh, we expect that investment income that will continue

96
00:04:36.205 --> 00:04:37.645
to decrease due to the majority

97
00:04:37.665 --> 00:04:39.925
of your portfolio in fixed income securities

98
00:04:40.145 --> 00:04:41.845
and the expectation of additional, uh,

99
00:04:41.845 --> 00:04:43.605
rate cuts from the Federal Reserve.

100
00:04:43.865 --> 00:04:45.645
But your portfolio is still doing very well.

101
00:04:46.235 --> 00:04:49.285
Your year to date operating expenses are at 74 million,

102
00:04:49.285 --> 00:04:51.765
which is greater than prior year of 55 million.

103
00:04:52.225 --> 00:04:55.325
Uh, current year to date spending is at 86% of budget.

104
00:04:55.665 --> 00:04:58.925
Uh, we are, uh, again, still, um, in the process

105
00:04:59.025 --> 00:05:01.605
of fi finalizing year end accruals

106
00:05:01.625 --> 00:05:03.925
and expect to see additional expenses to come through.

107
00:05:04.715 --> 00:05:06.485
Overall, the budget increase, mainly due

108
00:05:06.485 --> 00:05:09.245
to the additional facilities with the amenity sale.

109
00:05:09.305 --> 00:05:11.405
But you have enough to cover, uh, those expenses

110
00:05:11.405 --> 00:05:13.085
because of your additional revenues.

111
00:05:13.665 --> 00:05:16.445
Uh, your amended capital budget for the year is 16 million,

112
00:05:16.745 --> 00:05:18.445
and you've spent 8.8 million.

113
00:05:18.945 --> 00:05:21.965
Um, that's at 56% of your budget.

114
00:05:22.065 --> 00:05:23.165
Uh, majority of that is

115
00:05:23.165 --> 00:05:26.685
for golf course renovation at 5.4 million, 2 million,

116
00:05:26.985 --> 00:05:29.005
2 million for HVAC replacement

117
00:05:29.065 --> 00:05:31.325
and pool renovations of 500,000.

118
00:05:31.755 --> 00:05:34.805
There's some capital projects, um, such as golf renovations

119
00:05:34.805 --> 00:05:36.405
that have been carried forward to the new year.

120
00:05:36.585 --> 00:05:39.005
So that's why you aren't seeing, um, all of that capital.

121
00:05:39.425 --> 00:05:40.605
Um, budget being spent.

122
00:05:41.195 --> 00:05:44.405
Debt related expenses for the year at 34.4 million.

123
00:05:44.705 --> 00:05:46.965
Uh, principal and interest includes 32 million.

124
00:05:47.385 --> 00:05:49.805
Um, with miscellaneous bond expense, mainly related

125
00:05:49.805 --> 00:05:51.645
to bond closing at 2 million.

126
00:05:52.195 --> 00:05:55.845
Your required debt service coverage is, um, 1.25%.

127
00:05:56.265 --> 00:05:57.805
Um, and I ha I'm happy to say

128
00:05:57.805 --> 00:05:59.525
that you've been meeting that debt coverage.

129
00:05:59.825 --> 00:06:02.805
Um, of course that's gonna be, um, reviewed by the auditors.

130
00:06:03.025 --> 00:06:05.685
So, but, uh, so far, so far so good.

131
00:06:05.985 --> 00:06:07.485
Uh, your change in net position is

132
00:06:07.485 --> 00:06:09.325
7.9 million to the positive.

133
00:06:09.435 --> 00:06:11.645
Your budgeted change in net position is a negative

134
00:06:11.645 --> 00:06:12.885
11, uh, 0.3.

135
00:06:13.225 --> 00:06:16.165
But due to the rebudgeted items, the change in, uh,

136
00:06:16.485 --> 00:06:18.445
decrease in that position will not be that large.

137
00:06:19.025 --> 00:06:20.805
So for your governmental, uh, funds,

138
00:06:20.805 --> 00:06:22.005
which is your project wide fund

139
00:06:22.005 --> 00:06:24.005
and your Lake Central landing fund, year to date,

140
00:06:24.005 --> 00:06:25.365
revenues are at 24 million,

141
00:06:25.455 --> 00:06:27.805
which is greater than prior year of 22 million.

142
00:06:28.225 --> 00:06:30.645
The increase is mainly due to your project wide fund, um,

143
00:06:30.795 --> 00:06:32.165
with an increase of 8%.

144
00:06:32.595 --> 00:06:35.045
Overall. Your revenues, um, are on target.

145
00:06:35.345 --> 00:06:37.845
Um, the one time miscellaneous revenue in your Lake Central

146
00:06:37.845 --> 00:06:40.845
Landing Fund was an insurance payment of 21,000

147
00:06:41.225 --> 00:06:43.925
for some damage that was caused by Milton for the gazebo.

148
00:06:43.925 --> 00:06:47.165
And the, the boat hut.

149
00:06:47.825 --> 00:06:49.925
Um, also included in your investment, um,

150
00:06:50.265 --> 00:06:53.005
as your investment income of 55, um,

151
00:06:53.795 --> 00:06:55.525
555,000, excuse me.

152
00:06:55.745 --> 00:06:59.445
Uh, 271,000 is related, uh, to your realized gains.

153
00:06:59.625 --> 00:07:02.605
And 284,000 is unrealized gains, a decrease

154
00:07:02.605 --> 00:07:04.605
of 354,000 from last year.

155
00:07:05.025 --> 00:07:06.885
But exceeding your budget expectation,

156
00:07:07.105 --> 00:07:08.925
and again, you're gonna see some, uh,

157
00:07:08.925 --> 00:07:12.365
investment income decreasing due to the expected, uh,

158
00:07:12.365 --> 00:07:13.845
federal reserve rate cuts.

159
00:07:14.265 --> 00:07:16.565
Um, but again, still doing very well in your portfolio.

160
00:07:17.035 --> 00:07:20.045
Operating expenses for your governmental funds are 22, uh,

161
00:07:20.045 --> 00:07:23.965
0.1 million more than prior year, uh, by 1.3 million.

162
00:07:24.155 --> 00:07:26.805
Current year to date spending is at 96. Um, percent.

163
00:07:27.025 --> 00:07:28.165
So you're pretty much on target.

164
00:07:28.905 --> 00:07:31.245
We expect some additional, um, yearend accruals

165
00:07:31.505 --> 00:07:32.845
to come through for the year end.

166
00:07:32.945 --> 00:07:34.885
Um, but still within budget.

167
00:07:35.275 --> 00:07:38.205
Your amended capital budget for the year is 2.5 million.

168
00:07:38.705 --> 00:07:42.925
Um, you've spent 2.3 million, mostly at Lake Central landing

169
00:07:43.145 --> 00:07:46.365
for mill and overlay of 620, 20 1000

170
00:07:46.785 --> 00:07:51.485
and mill overlay for, uh, project wide of 663,000

171
00:07:51.705 --> 00:07:54.405
and base and repair of 573,000.

172
00:07:54.825 --> 00:07:57.765
Uh, budget change in that position is negative 1.9.

173
00:07:58.145 --> 00:08:00.045
Uh, based on that current spending trend,

174
00:08:00.265 --> 00:08:01.845
you're gonna get hit closer to that.

175
00:08:01.945 --> 00:08:05.725
So, um, and I'm here to ask,

176
00:08:06.465 --> 00:08:07.845
answer any questions that you might have.

177
00:08:08.075 --> 00:08:10.925
Well, I guess it's probably financial question,

178
00:08:10.925 --> 00:08:12.245
but it's also a planning question.

179
00:08:12.245 --> 00:08:14.885
Mm-hmm. Now that you have even more facilities,

180
00:08:15.225 --> 00:08:19.285
do you have a metric for, Hey, this is gonna be a 10 year,

181
00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:20.605
this is a 15 year.

182
00:08:20.705 --> 00:08:21.725
I'm sure you do. I just, yeah.

183
00:08:21.885 --> 00:08:22.885
I remember it ever discussing. We

184
00:08:22.885 --> 00:08:25.845
Had that long term capital plan going 5, 10, 15 years,

185
00:08:25.875 --> 00:08:27.685
Like every rec center like paradise, obviously.

186
00:08:27.795 --> 00:08:30.165
Yeah. So we look at the, you know, the asset management on

187
00:08:30.165 --> 00:08:32.125
that to see what's the life expectancy.

188
00:08:32.125 --> 00:08:33.925
Yeah. And we put all that plan out together

189
00:08:34.065 --> 00:08:36.685
so we have some kind of outline, knowing we gotta be nimble.

190
00:08:36.955 --> 00:08:39.565
Sometimes, you know, an AC should be out in the say,

191
00:08:39.565 --> 00:08:40.605
10 years, but it's running fine

192
00:08:40.605 --> 00:08:41.645
and we're not gonna change it out.

193
00:08:41.665 --> 00:08:44.085
So we'll put something ahead of that, like the golf courses.

194
00:08:44.665 --> 00:08:46.325
And now we're doing 10 to 12 years on the

195
00:08:46.485 --> 00:08:47.485
Renovation. Is that what you're, yeah.

196
00:08:47.485 --> 00:08:49.685
Okay. Thank you.

197
00:08:51.005 --> 00:08:54.005
I just wanted to take a moment to introduce Tyson Dishman.

198
00:08:54.195 --> 00:08:56.765
He's my new, uh, assistant Finance director.

199
00:08:56.945 --> 00:08:58.325
And he may be coming from time

200
00:08:58.325 --> 00:09:00.045
to time giving you the overview. So

201
00:09:00.605 --> 00:09:03.285
I, I did have, just so I understand, sorry.

202
00:09:04.425 --> 00:09:07.165
As I look at just the yearly numbers, we,

203
00:09:08.145 --> 00:09:13.085
we brought in 7 million more than we budgeted Correct.

204
00:09:14.725 --> 00:09:18.125
Budgeted revenues of one 20, brought in revenues of 1 27,

205
00:09:19.185 --> 00:09:20.965
and then we spent 12 million less.

206
00:09:21.705 --> 00:09:24.685
So call it 19 million.

207
00:09:25.585 --> 00:09:28.045
And then the, how, how does that impact,

208
00:09:28.045 --> 00:09:29.765
like the unreserved net position?

209
00:09:30.345 --> 00:09:31.725
It seems like it ought to be,

210
00:09:32.455 --> 00:09:33.565
It'll fall to the bottom. More

211
00:09:33.765 --> 00:09:34.765
Tion around in there.

212
00:09:34.835 --> 00:09:37.685
Correct. So what we don't spend just, um, falls

213
00:09:37.685 --> 00:09:40.125
to the bottom line to your, your, your fund balance.

214
00:09:40.915 --> 00:09:41.915
Does that answer your question?

215
00:09:44.415 --> 00:09:45.455
I, I'm just trying to,

216
00:09:46.555 --> 00:09:48.535
Are you asking the question like we're the why the

217
00:09:48.535 --> 00:09:50.615
revenues so far exceeding the budget,

218
00:09:51.215 --> 00:09:52.855
I think comes from the purchase

219
00:09:52.855 --> 00:09:54.455
of the new assets and the sale.

220
00:09:54.595 --> 00:09:57.215
So we started obtaining all those amenity fees, so

221
00:09:57.215 --> 00:09:58.095
that was increase in revenue

222
00:09:58.125 --> 00:09:59.295
from what we originally budgeted.

223
00:09:59.295 --> 00:10:02.735
Right. And then the expenditures, like, uh, Ms. Leon Norris,

224
00:10:03.035 --> 00:10:04.255
uh, explained that a lot

225
00:10:04.255 --> 00:10:06.455
of the capital projects have not been completed.

226
00:10:06.455 --> 00:10:07.535
So they're being carried forward.

227
00:10:07.615 --> 00:10:10.255
A lot of the golf courses, AC et cetera.

228
00:10:10.275 --> 00:10:11.535
So that's why the expenses are lower

229
00:10:11.535 --> 00:10:12.615
than what we had budgeted.

230
00:10:13.595 --> 00:10:15.095
But that difference. But just taking

231
00:10:15.095 --> 00:10:16.695
that calendar the year though mm-hmm.

232
00:10:17.145 --> 00:10:18.695
Money in, money out. Yep.

233
00:10:19.035 --> 00:10:22.355
20 million better than

234
00:10:23.385 --> 00:10:25.035
when we accept budget.

235
00:10:25.035 --> 00:10:27.795
Right. So it, it'll increase your un designated fund

236
00:10:27.795 --> 00:10:30.115
balance, but then when we carry forward a lot

237
00:10:30.115 --> 00:10:32.355
of those projects, we'll use those funds to pay

238
00:10:32.375 --> 00:10:33.555
for next year's projects.

239
00:10:33.755 --> 00:10:35.195
'cause we already appropriated it this year,

240
00:10:35.215 --> 00:10:36.435
and we'll carry forward those funds.

241
00:10:36.465 --> 00:10:40.215
Correct? Yes. Mainly good news.

242
00:10:40.595 --> 00:10:43.135
Oh, absolutely. Oh, no, it's, it's, it's wonderful.

243
00:10:43.205 --> 00:10:44.975
There's, there's not many

244
00:10:46.735 --> 00:10:49.575
governmental quasi governmental organizations

245
00:10:49.685 --> 00:10:52.435
that have a statement like that.

246
00:10:52.435 --> 00:10:53.955
Well, I mean, and, and I'm just,

247
00:10:54.025 --> 00:10:55.555
just trying to keep it straight in my head.

248
00:10:55.575 --> 00:11:00.555
And that's a 20, not necessarily 20 million sur plus,

249
00:11:00.575 --> 00:11:02.715
but it's a, it's a healthy That's

250
00:11:02.715 --> 00:11:03.435
Right. Cash flow.

251
00:11:03.435 --> 00:11:05.395
Mm-hmm. For, for expenses. No,

252
00:11:05.395 --> 00:11:08.155
For years, early in my career on this board, you wanted to

253
00:11:08.715 --> 00:11:10.315
increase that fund balance to make sure that we

254
00:11:10.315 --> 00:11:11.875
Were, I think we're in a pretty good shape.

255
00:11:11.975 --> 00:11:14.475
I'm, I'm, yeah. The, the, the long term

256
00:11:14.855 --> 00:11:17.475
and the recognizing all these capital assets

257
00:11:17.625 --> 00:11:19.195
that constantly,

258
00:11:19.285 --> 00:11:20.475
Right. And I think become

259
00:11:20.755 --> 00:11:24.235
Expenses over time is in keeping it up the expectations

260
00:11:24.455 --> 00:11:28.275
of the villagers to, you know, everyone walking in.

261
00:11:28.505 --> 00:11:30.115
It's a new experience for 'em.

262
00:11:30.115 --> 00:11:31.715
And the, the, the family's

263
00:11:31.715 --> 00:11:33.395
through the years done a wonderful job.

264
00:11:33.415 --> 00:11:36.595
And the board has done a good job keeping that.

265
00:11:36.975 --> 00:11:38.995
And, and based on, I know some of the recommendations

266
00:11:39.095 --> 00:11:40.555
of yourself and the board was

267
00:11:40.555 --> 00:11:42.875
to increase the long term investment portfolio

268
00:11:42.935 --> 00:11:44.035
to 20%, right?

269
00:11:44.045 --> 00:11:46.115
Where everyone else, we typically keep it at 15,

270
00:11:46.135 --> 00:11:48.115
but you guys wanted to go out 20 to pick up some

271
00:11:48.115 --> 00:11:50.115
of the additional gains, you know?

272
00:11:50.115 --> 00:11:51.915
But it also takes additional risk as well,

273
00:11:51.915 --> 00:11:54.565
because sometimes when the market has a correction,

274
00:11:54.865 --> 00:11:56.085
we, we feel a little bit more pain

275
00:11:56.425 --> 00:11:59.645
If I was the only one making it be more than 20.

276
00:12:00.025 --> 00:12:02.125
But I don't mind, I don't mind the risk.

277
00:12:02.305 --> 00:12:04.165
But I, I appreciate, you know,

278
00:12:04.165 --> 00:12:08.525
the board's got a different perspective, but thank you.

279
00:12:08.985 --> 00:12:10.245
You're not retired yet either.

280
00:12:11.665 --> 00:12:14.245
That's true. And the Lake Sumter

281
00:12:14.245 --> 00:12:15.645
Project is in this too, right?

282
00:12:15.755 --> 00:12:18.485
It's in Lake Sumter Landing, uh, fund balance, right? Yeah.

283
00:12:18.505 --> 00:12:20.325
So that's a different fund in there, right?

284
00:12:21.225 --> 00:12:23.845
Uh, so if there's no other additional, uh,

285
00:12:24.085 --> 00:12:25.925
questions on the informational items,

286
00:12:25.955 --> 00:12:27.405
I'll go onto district manager reports.

287
00:12:29.065 --> 00:12:31.005
So I did want to introduce Mr. Johnny Bishop,

288
00:12:31.235 --> 00:12:33.045
he's our new executive director of support services.

289
00:12:33.045 --> 00:12:36.005
Johnny came to us with a wealth of experience, uh,

290
00:12:36.035 --> 00:12:37.445
from Cirus County School District.

291
00:12:37.505 --> 00:12:40.005
He retired from there and he came over here to, uh,

292
00:12:40.355 --> 00:12:41.805
take on a challenge of, uh,

293
00:12:41.805 --> 00:12:44.645
overseeing DPM asset management and fleet management.

294
00:12:44.645 --> 00:12:46.525
So a lot of things he was very familiar with over there

295
00:12:46.525 --> 00:12:49.205
and in his years of working at the school district.

296
00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:51.205
So, um, he has, uh, taken the challenge.

297
00:12:51.215 --> 00:12:52.965
We're very appreciative of him coming over and,

298
00:12:52.985 --> 00:12:54.685
and meeting that demand that we have.

299
00:12:54.785 --> 00:12:56.485
So a lot of what you said, Mr.

300
00:12:56.675 --> 00:12:58.445
Nsbe, and making sure we maintain these

301
00:12:58.445 --> 00:12:59.685
assets into perpetuity.

302
00:12:59.825 --> 00:13:01.965
So every new residence, a new experience,

303
00:13:01.965 --> 00:13:03.485
they wanna make sure they see it a one.

304
00:13:03.545 --> 00:13:06.205
So, uh, the project wide advisory committee

305
00:13:06.205 --> 00:13:08.685
after agenda, much of what you saw in your consent agenda is

306
00:13:08.685 --> 00:13:10.005
what they discussed and approved.

307
00:13:10.625 --> 00:13:12.685
And they did have a lot of conversation about Gates,

308
00:13:13.725 --> 00:13:15.525
construction mode, long range readers.

309
00:13:15.705 --> 00:13:18.405
Uh, you know, previously we had a joint meeting with a a C

310
00:13:18.405 --> 00:13:21.045
and project wide where they actually decided not

311
00:13:21.045 --> 00:13:22.405
to move forward long range readers,

312
00:13:22.405 --> 00:13:24.685
and then they wanted to maintain gates as is.

313
00:13:25.505 --> 00:13:28.005
But as time has evolved past that,

314
00:13:28.005 --> 00:13:29.765
they all continually wanna have the conversation,

315
00:13:29.765 --> 00:13:31.525
maybe we can do something different, maybe we can't.

316
00:13:32.265 --> 00:13:34.725
So it was discussed today that hopefully, um,

317
00:13:34.725 --> 00:13:36.445
there is no more discussion on the gates

318
00:13:36.445 --> 00:13:37.565
that they're gonna stay as is.

319
00:13:38.085 --> 00:13:39.365
I can't make any promises of that

320
00:13:39.365 --> 00:13:40.805
because next month they may come back up

321
00:13:40.805 --> 00:13:41.925
and want to question it again.

322
00:13:41.925 --> 00:13:43.525
But for the most part, they decided

323
00:13:43.525 --> 00:13:45.085
to leave the gates as is.

324
00:13:45.305 --> 00:13:48.325
So, um, one of the things that did come outta

325
00:13:48.325 --> 00:13:50.165
that joint meeting was to have some, um,

326
00:13:50.735 --> 00:13:54.205
compliance on the neighborhood pools as

327
00:13:54.205 --> 00:13:57.045
to is there people using it that are not residents?

328
00:13:57.465 --> 00:14:01.125
And we proposed an idea, uh, to use a, uh, card reader,

329
00:14:01.625 --> 00:14:04.445
but they wanted us to kind of do some, um, reconnaissance on

330
00:14:04.445 --> 00:14:05.565
that and see if there was an issue.

331
00:14:05.785 --> 00:14:07.525
So I did wanna have Mr. Rohan come up

332
00:14:07.525 --> 00:14:11.085
and explain to this board as he did at Pwac this morning, as

333
00:14:11.085 --> 00:14:13.965
to what his plan is to kind of gain some information

334
00:14:13.965 --> 00:14:15.925
to see if there really is any issues. So, John,

335
00:14:16.015 --> 00:14:17.015
Thank you, Mr. Blocker. Uh,

336
00:14:17.015 --> 00:14:17.805
John Rohan,

337
00:14:17.805 --> 00:14:19.405
executive Director of Recreation and Parks.

338
00:14:19.905 --> 00:14:24.205
Um, our staff currently has a best practice for stewardship

339
00:14:24.205 --> 00:14:27.325
and Id checking of our amenities throughout the community.

340
00:14:27.465 --> 00:14:29.285
We, we go out there and it's, um,

341
00:14:29.525 --> 00:14:30.685
a minimum of three times a day.

342
00:14:30.825 --> 00:14:33.005
And, uh, sometimes it's more, um,

343
00:14:33.185 --> 00:14:35.405
but the idea is the element of surprise to go out there

344
00:14:35.705 --> 00:14:37.205
and, uh, check folks IDs.

345
00:14:37.545 --> 00:14:40.005
Um, we don't pull people out of the pool

346
00:14:40.345 --> 00:14:42.045
and we don't wake 'em up while they're sleeping.

347
00:14:42.545 --> 00:14:45.805
Um, but we do try to use our core values in, in the delivery

348
00:14:45.945 --> 00:14:47.685
of that stewardship and, and,

349
00:14:47.705 --> 00:14:49.485
and ensure that, uh, people are

350
00:14:50.125 --> 00:14:51.725
bringing the right credentials to use it.

351
00:14:52.025 --> 00:14:56.165
And the early data of that we have found in those processes

352
00:14:56.225 --> 00:14:59.765
and, and reporting, um, the abuses are, are very minor.

353
00:15:00.105 --> 00:15:02.365
Uh, um, unfortunately social media is out there

354
00:15:02.745 --> 00:15:05.405
and stirs a lot of the negative energy, uh, of

355
00:15:05.405 --> 00:15:06.805
what could be occurring.

356
00:15:06.825 --> 00:15:11.565
We are not actually seeing it, um, occur at the amenities.

357
00:15:11.945 --> 00:15:15.805
Um, the vast majority of infractions are those residents

358
00:15:15.805 --> 00:15:18.485
who fail to bring their ID card with them.

359
00:15:19.145 --> 00:15:21.925
So in the, uh, active stewardship

360
00:15:21.925 --> 00:15:24.805
and hospitality, we have a non-compliance, uh, procedure.

361
00:15:24.805 --> 00:15:27.765
Meaning if you forget it, we're gonna ask you

362
00:15:27.885 --> 00:15:29.005
for some type of credentials.

363
00:15:29.065 --> 00:15:30.485
If you produce it, we write it down.

364
00:15:30.555 --> 00:15:31.605
It's kind of like baseball.

365
00:15:31.605 --> 00:15:34.085
Once you've run out of strikes, we send you letters.

366
00:15:34.385 --> 00:15:37.165
Um, we can suspend you from the use of the facilities.

367
00:15:37.385 --> 00:15:38.765
If they are non-residents

368
00:15:38.765 --> 00:15:41.005
and non-compliance, then certainly we have the right

369
00:15:41.005 --> 00:15:43.165
to suspend or trespass people from the facilities.

370
00:15:43.245 --> 00:15:44.445
'cause they truly do not belong

371
00:15:44.625 --> 00:15:46.325
as a user of those facilities.

372
00:15:46.325 --> 00:15:48.445
And we have had to do that on, on occasion.

373
00:15:49.025 --> 00:15:50.285
Um, in those incidents,

374
00:15:50.285 --> 00:15:53.005
it's actually residents bringing their buddy down the road

375
00:15:53.105 --> 00:15:55.885
to come hang out with them to use the amenity as well.

376
00:15:55.945 --> 00:15:59.005
So it's a fine line with staff trying to make sure

377
00:15:59.005 --> 00:16:00.365
that we're, we're enforcing

378
00:16:00.545 --> 00:16:02.165
and educating and, and awareness.

379
00:16:02.985 --> 00:16:05.485
Um, as a result of all that data we've been doing, uh,

380
00:16:05.485 --> 00:16:07.005
over the years, uh, we went

381
00:16:07.025 --> 00:16:09.725
to the project wide advisory committee just this morning,

382
00:16:09.785 --> 00:16:12.565
and we'll be going to a, a c um, we're gonna

383
00:16:13.085 --> 00:16:15.445
actually staff four neighborhood rec pools.

384
00:16:15.445 --> 00:16:18.885
Those are offsite, uh, facilities, not, uh, tied to a,

385
00:16:18.965 --> 00:16:20.885
a village rec center or to regional center.

386
00:16:21.265 --> 00:16:25.325
And we're gonna staff for those pools from open to close,

387
00:16:25.905 --> 00:16:29.085
uh, from November 17th through December 14th,

388
00:16:29.705 --> 00:16:33.245
and do some really more intense ID checking, uh,

389
00:16:33.305 --> 00:16:36.445
to further extrapolate data to figure out, um,

390
00:16:36.785 --> 00:16:39.205
is there a higher incidents of non-compliance?

391
00:16:39.375 --> 00:16:42.925
Where is the non-compliance occurring, uh, to what degree?

392
00:16:43.425 --> 00:16:45.365
And gather that data information

393
00:16:45.425 --> 00:16:48.485
and then come back in January with recommendations.

394
00:16:48.585 --> 00:16:50.645
Do we continue with the current best practice

395
00:16:50.665 --> 00:16:53.285
of randomly checking, uh, and reporting?

396
00:16:53.285 --> 00:16:56.605
Do we buy more scanners? Uh, do we staff the pools more?

397
00:16:56.665 --> 00:16:59.565
So lots of different opportunities out there with everything

398
00:16:59.565 --> 00:17:00.885
that you try to do.

399
00:17:00.885 --> 00:17:03.565
We'll come with more staffing options, more cost back

400
00:17:03.585 --> 00:17:04.965
to, to the end user there.

401
00:17:04.985 --> 00:17:08.365
So, um, once we get that data, we're gonna figure out,

402
00:17:08.505 --> 00:17:09.845
do we have a problem and

403
00:17:09.975 --> 00:17:12.165
where those problems might be occurring, what we need to,

404
00:17:12.225 --> 00:17:13.805
to try to do better job at.

405
00:17:13.805 --> 00:17:14.845
We're always trying to improve.

406
00:17:14.865 --> 00:17:16.485
Of course, if we residents feel

407
00:17:16.485 --> 00:17:18.405
that there's something occurring, we definitely want to

408
00:17:19.275 --> 00:17:20.605
address those concerns,

409
00:17:20.825 --> 00:17:22.525
but we wanna be able to validate them as well,

410
00:17:22.785 --> 00:17:25.525
and that they're actually occurring, not, not being, uh,

411
00:17:25.525 --> 00:17:27.805
what we call urban myths, uh, going on out there.

412
00:17:27.905 --> 00:17:30.405
So I think there are some infractions that do occur.

413
00:17:30.505 --> 00:17:31.725
I'm not gonna disregard that.

414
00:17:31.725 --> 00:17:34.565
We don't have people that come in and try to, uh, abuse,

415
00:17:34.565 --> 00:17:37.405
but we normally will catch those individuals at some point

416
00:17:37.405 --> 00:17:39.565
in time because residents do talk to one another

417
00:17:39.585 --> 00:17:40.765
and do share that information.

418
00:17:40.785 --> 00:17:42.725
So we're very open, communicative, uh,

419
00:17:42.845 --> 00:17:44.405
organization here and department.

420
00:17:44.465 --> 00:17:45.925
So that's where we're at.

421
00:17:45.945 --> 00:17:47.445
And answer any questions that you may have.

422
00:17:48.965 --> 00:17:50.885
I mean, that'd be good information to have.

423
00:17:50.885 --> 00:17:53.565
Even you, you mentioned social media

424
00:17:53.585 --> 00:17:58.045
and obviously it can take some anecdotal one off

425
00:17:58.305 --> 00:17:59.325
and amplify it

426
00:17:59.325 --> 00:18:01.405
to make it look like it's some pervasive

427
00:18:01.575 --> 00:18:03.005
issue. So having the data

428
00:18:03.225 --> 00:18:04.285
That's right. Combat

429
00:18:04.285 --> 00:18:05.285
That. And what

430
00:18:05.285 --> 00:18:06.565
we've asked residents to do too,

431
00:18:06.625 --> 00:18:08.765
if they can be specific on the day

432
00:18:08.825 --> 00:18:10.405
and the time where it's occurring,

433
00:18:10.635 --> 00:18:12.925
then we will increase staffing presence there.

434
00:18:12.945 --> 00:18:16.365
So if we feel there's an increase of, uh, alleged abuses,

435
00:18:16.365 --> 00:18:18.325
then we'll, we'll increase that

436
00:18:18.345 --> 00:18:20.245
and determine if, uh, if there is an issue

437
00:18:20.305 --> 00:18:21.765
and there is, then uh,

438
00:18:21.785 --> 00:18:23.525
we will kash it as quickly as possible.

439
00:18:24.035 --> 00:18:26.565
That is always the issue. Social media, um,

440
00:18:27.045 --> 00:18:29.085
I wish we had a combat for social media,

441
00:18:29.185 --> 00:18:31.725
but maybe this is the best, uh, way to do

442
00:18:31.725 --> 00:18:32.925
that is, is get the facts.

443
00:18:33.275 --> 00:18:36.045
Yeah, yeah. Context helps. You

444
00:18:36.045 --> 00:18:37.485
Allowed me to find too, based on,

445
00:18:37.505 --> 00:18:39.245
you know, who's coming in there.

446
00:18:39.275 --> 00:18:40.845
It's probably, you take a look at the map,

447
00:18:41.035 --> 00:18:43.565
it's gonna be maybe surrounding communities

448
00:18:44.025 --> 00:18:46.125
and are you gonna drive an hour

449
00:18:46.225 --> 00:18:47.845
to go someplace or are you gonna be

450
00:18:48.185 --> 00:18:49.185
That's right.

451
00:18:49.425 --> 00:18:52.005
That's right. So we, we wanna figure out where isolated,

452
00:18:52.065 --> 00:18:53.445
if there is an issue and where,

453
00:18:53.445 --> 00:18:55.365
where it may be bubbling up from someplace.

454
00:18:55.685 --> 00:18:57.485
I find you don't have a problem. And it's always an

455
00:18:57.485 --> 00:19:01.485
eyeopener when you publish the aggregate figures like golf

456
00:19:01.505 --> 00:19:02.685
rounds or whatever.

457
00:19:03.025 --> 00:19:05.725
And I suspect if you did the math, it's, it's,

458
00:19:06.155 --> 00:19:07.155
It's Insignificant. A couple million

459
00:19:07.155 --> 00:19:08.565
people using

460
00:19:09.185 --> 00:19:11.685
the pools every year. So, you know,

461
00:19:12.235 --> 00:19:13.445
It's, it's a lot of use. People

462
00:19:14.035 --> 00:19:15.445
Weren't residents then.

463
00:19:15.785 --> 00:19:17.565
In this context. It's, that's

464
00:19:17.565 --> 00:19:17.925
Right. It's

465
00:19:17.925 --> 00:19:18.525
Insignificant. It's

466
00:19:18.525 --> 00:19:19.885
Not a, but it's the same,

467
00:19:20.025 --> 00:19:21.845
but same token, it's a real issue if, if,

468
00:19:21.845 --> 00:19:23.125
if it is their neighborhood pool,

469
00:19:23.125 --> 00:19:25.365
that it becomes a, an immediate issue.

470
00:19:25.425 --> 00:19:28.405
So hopefully the data will, will show if there is an issue

471
00:19:28.405 --> 00:19:29.685
or if they're not, if there is an issue,

472
00:19:29.685 --> 00:19:31.365
then we will come up with a plan to,

473
00:19:31.465 --> 00:19:32.845
to address it. So, okay.

474
00:19:33.055 --> 00:19:34.165
Thank, thank you all for your time.

475
00:19:34.865 --> 00:19:38.565
Uh, and, and lastly, there was a request from UPS.

476
00:19:38.785 --> 00:19:42.565
Um, so in the, uh, sale that we closed in February

477
00:19:42.565 --> 00:19:45.725
with the new amenities, previously UPS used, uh,

478
00:19:45.725 --> 00:19:47.765
some golf maintenance facilities at Lowlands

479
00:19:47.765 --> 00:19:51.805
and Tall Pines, basically for the, uh, season,

480
00:19:52.185 --> 00:19:55.045
the Christmas season, the holiday season, to actually, uh,

481
00:19:55.135 --> 00:19:56.165
store packages.

482
00:19:56.225 --> 00:19:57.845
And they would use that as like the other depot

483
00:19:57.985 --> 00:19:59.885
to use a golf cart to go take packages

484
00:19:59.885 --> 00:20:01.645
and deliver 'em around to the residents.

485
00:20:02.025 --> 00:20:05.365
Uh, that contract did not get, um, uh,

486
00:20:05.555 --> 00:20:06.805
come over with the, uh, sale.

487
00:20:07.145 --> 00:20:08.765
So what UPS has asked is that we,

488
00:20:08.765 --> 00:20:10.525
we enter into a new contract with 'em.

489
00:20:10.715 --> 00:20:13.085
It's very minimal, uh, the revenue, uh,

490
00:20:13.085 --> 00:20:14.925
for each location's about $2,900.

491
00:20:15.425 --> 00:20:17.725
So what we told 'em was, we will acquiesce this year

492
00:20:17.725 --> 00:20:18.725
and enter into an agreement.

493
00:20:18.865 --> 00:20:21.805
And then following this year, they need to find a new home

494
00:20:21.865 --> 00:20:25.085
to actually, uh, store their, their, uh, their, their,

495
00:20:25.135 --> 00:20:27.485
their boxes or deliveries and,

496
00:20:27.665 --> 00:20:29.165
and find a new place to work out of.

497
00:20:29.165 --> 00:20:30.925
So we would, we would go ahead and agree with them.

498
00:20:30.985 --> 00:20:34.405
So I just wanted y'all to, we present us a PA and no issues,

499
00:20:34.405 --> 00:20:36.165
but I wanted you to be aware of this

500
00:20:36.265 --> 00:20:37.605
and to just, uh, know

501
00:20:37.605 --> 00:20:39.405
that I'll be entering into an agreement with them for

502
00:20:39.405 --> 00:20:43.125
that small short window now until like January 15th or

503
00:20:43.245 --> 00:20:44.365
Whatever. Do need a vote?

504
00:20:44.625 --> 00:20:46.085
What's that? Do not need A vote for that.

505
00:20:46.285 --> 00:20:49.365
I don't need, you need to vote. No

506
00:20:49.805 --> 00:20:51.365
PI did vote to recommend it to you.

507
00:20:52.105 --> 00:20:54.165
You might as well take a vote to authorize

508
00:20:54.205 --> 00:20:55.205
A approve. Okay.

509
00:20:55.205 --> 00:20:59.285
Any questions? I'd make a motion to approve.

510
00:21:00.465 --> 00:21:02.555
I'll second. We've got a motion, a second

511
00:21:02.575 --> 00:21:05.715
to approve the use of UPS

512
00:21:05.735 --> 00:21:08.155
of East Space at Lowlands and Tall Pines Golf Course.

513
00:21:08.175 --> 00:21:11.435
All in favor? Aye. Aye. Very good. Thank you.

514
00:21:11.775 --> 00:21:12.835
And those are all my reports.

515
00:21:14.065 --> 00:21:17.595
Good Counsel reports.

516
00:21:17.645 --> 00:21:18.715
Thank you Chair. Nothing today.

517
00:21:18.945 --> 00:21:21.035
Alright, supervisor comments?

518
00:21:21.935 --> 00:21:25.475
My only comment is, uh, celebrate Veteran Day tomorrow.

519
00:21:25.615 --> 00:21:29.075
Yes, sir. If you, uh, if you're like us,

520
00:21:29.135 --> 00:21:30.235
I'm very patriot at school.

521
00:21:30.235 --> 00:21:31.595
We're gonna have school tomorrow like we always do,

522
00:21:31.595 --> 00:21:32.875
and we have a bunch of celebrations.

523
