A. Discussion of New O&M Assessment Methodology for FY 2027

Governmental Management Services (GMS) provided its Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Assessment Methodology Report, which was included in the meeting packet. Darrin Mossing Sr. responded to multiple questions from the Board and resident Alexander Ortega.

Questions were raised regarding why the assessments were based solely on heated building square footage rather than including the acreage of the golf course.

Mr. Mossing explained that there are three primary ways to prepare an assessment methodology report. The first, which was used in this case and has been historically applied in the District, is based on heated square footage, with all residential homes assessed at one Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU).

Mr. Mossing further explained that the goal was to reasonably and fairly convert the golf course parcels to residential equivalents. Using property records, the heated square footage for all residential units in the District was totaled, resulting in an average residential unit size of 3,179 square feet. This average was then applied to the heated square footage of the golf course buildings. GMS also compared this report to approaches used in other golf course communities and determined the methodology to be reasonable.

After extensive discussion, Mr. Mossing clarified that the report is complete, however, he will provide additional background information, including comparisons to other golf course communities, for the Board’s further review. The item was tabled until the next meeting.

Darrin Mossing Sr. left the meeting at 9:56 a.m.

Field Manager Pepin joined the meeting remotely at 9:56 a.m.

B. Update on Irrigation Flush Proposal

There were no updates from Insight Irrigation.

C. Lakes 10 and 18 Shoreline Restoration Proposal Follow-up

District Manager Rainwater presented three preliminary proposals for lake restoration from Pristine Lakes and Wetlands, Landshore Enterprises, and Talon Construction.

• Pristine Lakes and Wetlands quoted $176,890 for Lake 10 and $81,700 for Lake 18. The proposal included grading with coconut matting, littoral plantings, and catch basins. DM Rainwater noted a typographical error in the quote related to Lake 10, which was incorrectly calculated using 3,300 linear feet. When corrected to 1,300 linear feet at a unit price of $53.60, the revised cost for Lake 10 is $69,680. The corrected total for both lakes would be $151,380.
• Landshore Enterprises provided six grading options, including hardened surface alternatives, and included coconut matting. Their basic restoration pricing was $69,937 for Lake 10 and $72,718 for Lake 18; however, these proposals did not include littoral plantings or catch basins.
• Talon Construction quoted $74,690 for Lake 10 and $67,705 for Lake 18, which included regrading and coconut matting. Their proposal listed littoral plantings at $1.95 per plant and estimated catch basins at $2,250 each.

The Board discussed that all three proposals would need to be revised in order to make an accurate comparison, as the linear footage measurements were not consistent and some proposals did not include littoral plantings or drainage installations.

Additionally, the Board noted that the approved LDO does not currently include an option for basic restoration with coconut matting. As this method is recommended, the Board authorized Engineer McCleary to submit an LDO modification to add this restoration method.

D. Fountain Power Source Discussion

DM Rainwater reported an issue with the main fountain power board at the guardhouse. West Coast Electrical determined that both fountains are overheating the panel, as they draw significant power and have been causing gradual damage to the electrical panel over time. West Coast Electrical replaced several breakers as a temporary measure but recommended that the entire panel be replaced within the next few months. Three proposals were provided.

• Estimate #26-6013, in the amount of $6,212, includes installing a new electrical panel dedicated to the CDD and permanently removing the fountains from the HOA panel. This option would place the fountains on their own power source, eliminating power sharing and reducing the risk of overloading the panel.
• Estimate #26-6014, in the amount of $9,755, includes boring under the roadway, installing a new subpanel on a pedestal, and connecting the second fountain to this new service.
• Estimate #26-6015, in the amount of $4,736, includes replacing the existing guardhouse panel, which has been damaged.

West Coast Electrical recommended removing both fountains from the guardhouse meter panel and placing them on a dedicated electrical service. The company was also asked to review other electrical panels that may be co-mingled with HOA services. FM Pepin reviewed the fountains and confirmed that all remaining CDD fountains are on their own service, but some aerators may be connected to the HOA entrance monument panels. If so, a cost-sharing agreement may be required.

Some of these charges may qualify for use of Construction Account funds. This will be clarified with Engineer McCleary, who is responsible for signing off on the requisition.

Supervisor Pattee left the meeting at 10:20 a.m.

The Board discussed scheduling of this work will be coordinated with the RCA, and preferably during a time when the golf course is closed.

A. Proposals for Stormwater System Cleaning

DM Rainwater reported that 2 proposals were received to clean out a section of pipe between 12450 and 12460 Vittoria Way.

M.R.I. Inspection provided an hourly rate of $350 per hour with a 4-hour minimum, a dump fee of $550, and additional charges for plug sets, which vary by pipe size. Plug sets are required to seal one side of the pipe in order to blow debris out the other side. The estimated cost is approximately $2,550 if the work can be completed within the 4-hour minimum.

Sewer Viewer provided a flat rate of $2,125 to jet the line. It was noted during discussion that the removed sand would be returned to the lake.

Supervisor Pattee rejoined the meeting at 10:23 a.m.

Supervisor Epkins left the meeting at 10:24 a.m.

B. Discussion of Storm Water ROV Inspection Proposal

A proposal was presented by FL GIS Solutions (FLGIS) for a multi-year ROV inspection program to evaluate all storm drain lines and establish a baseline assessment of the community’s stormwater system. The proposal divides the community into three phases: Phase A at $5,380, Phase B at $25,254, and Phase C at $17,050. Inspection results would be incorporated into a GIS map for future reference and planning.

The Board observed that water is currently flowing through the stormwater system and that there do not appear to be any significant blockages at this time. FM Pepin noted that while water is flowing, it is unclear whether the system is operating at full capacity. The project was presented for informational purposes only and is not considered an emergency.

The Board expressed no interest in moving forward with the proposal at this time, but requested that the item be revisited during next year’s budget planning process.

A. Field Manager’s Report

FM Pepin reviewed his Field Report, including:

• Some littoral plants are browning or dying off due to low water levels and cooler temperatures.
• Weed growth is minimal at this time.
• Fish stocking has been completed, and the vendor provided several additional loads of fish to the community at no additional cost.
• Water quality in Lake 11 has improved; however, some seed pods were observed in the water during the site visit.
• Sod installation has been completed along the Lake 7 shoreline repair area.
• A washout near Lake 11 has been repaired.
• Brazilian Pepper was observed growing in Preserve C3 and has been reported to the vendor for remediation.
• Vegetation cutbacks are scheduled for the last week of February.
• A fallen branch along the I-75 wall was removed.
• Roadway inlets were spot-checked and found to be in good condition.

B. Follow-up Items

i.  Aerator Repairs

Fountain Kings should be onsite today completing everything that was recently approved. Kyle Roehm reported that they expect to finish all work by tomorrow, and will send over an updated report with their findings.

Vice Chair Stuart reported that the Lake 10 N fountain lights are not working, and Mr. Roehm will have his team check this out.

ii. Location of Cart Path Washout Near Lake 13

The washout appears to be located along the property line between the CDD and the golf course. Attorney Williams has requested the property survey from Concert, but if the survey is not provided, the CDD may obtain its own survey.

It was noted that if the washout was caused by golf course irrigation, the golf course would be responsible for completing the repair. Additionally, any measures that could prevent future washouts should be identified and implemented.

A. Update on Lawsuit Between Concert and the HOA

The parties seem to be working towards settling the issues.

B. Encroachment Agreement with 12450 Vittoria Way Update

Attorney Williams provided a copy of the agreement to the resident for review and signature. The resident has indicated agreement with the terms as presented, and the signed copy is pending. Attorney Williams also noted that the resident is no longer in the process of selling his home.

There was no comment.

A. Quorum Check: March 9, 2026

A quorum was confirmed. Chair Dickey noted that he will not be available for the April meeting.

Supervisor Pattee reported that a resident is considering requesting another fountain installation on Lake 7. He also suggested scheduling a workshop for more discussion on the O&M report. The Board also asked if Engineer McCleary could attend the workshop. Staff will look at potential dates and get this scheduled and advertised.

Vice Chair Stuart reported that the multi-family apartment complex that is proposed across from Walgreens has an extension until January 26th. Also the developers have changed to Ryan Homes.

Jessica Cribbett asked Staff to set up a meeting with Engineer McCleary to discuss the lake bank project.

Next Regular Meeting: March 9, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
