FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Collins had nothing to report but offered to take any questions the Board may have.
Ms. Sides asked about ethics training. Mr. Collins stated he is still finalizing materials for that.

Engineer
Ms. Adams stated an easement variance request was received which was forwarded to the District Engineer for review. Mr. Rayl noted the homeowner requested to reinstall the white PVC fence back to its original location which is across the entirety of the easement but 6-8 inches from the ground in an effort to allow some stormwater to pass. The easement is not only for drainage but ingress and egress for SWFWMD to conduct maintenance activity along the length of the easement. He reviewed the application and still holds the same position and provided a letter with recommendation of denial of the variance request. That letter was submitted to the District Manager earlier today.
Mr. Rayl has not received any satisfactory bids for the repair work that is needed due to hurricane damage. He noted he sent it out to a new set of contractors for bids. He had set the Dolostone parking estimate at $12K to $15K as a placeholder in the budget and received a bid of
$8,988.

Field Manager’s Report
Consideration of Proposal for Bench Installation
Mr. Bailey presented a GMS proposal to install a bench on tract A for $1,380. No action was taken at this time.

Consideration of Proposal to Repair Stormwater Structure on Lake
Mr. Bailey presented a GMS proposal to repair the stormwater structure on the lake for
$2,644.55. It is for replacement of both skimmers. He made a mistake on the proposal in the agenda which proposed 16 hours and should have been 6 hours making the total $2,184.55. No action was taken at this time, this item was deferred to a future meeting.
Ms. Sides asked how old the front pool is. Mr. Jones noted the pool was built roughly in 2018. The surface has been monitored. Balanced chemicals is a major factor in how long the pool and equipment last, but roughly 8-10 years for resurfacing. That type of repair would come from the reserves.
