THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Consent Agenda
Approval of the Minutes of the June 9, 2025 Meeting.
Ms. Giles stated item three is the approval of the consent agenda. On page seven are the minutes of the June 9, 2025 meeting. Unless there any comments or corrections, I just look for a motion to approve.

On MOTION by Vice Chair Mifsud seconded by Chairman Steiner with all in favor, the Minutes of the June 9, 2025 Meeting, were approved.

Financial Statements
Assessment Receipts Schedule
Check Register
Ms. Giles stated on page 33 of their financial statements as of May 31st, followed by the assessment receipt schedule on page 45, showing the assessments are 99% collected. The total of the check register is $133,898.38. I see no unusual variances in the check register. Unless there’s any comments or questions, I just look for a motion to approve.

On MOTION by Chairman Steiner seconded by Ms. Arnau all in favor, the Check Register, was approved.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	of	Continued	Landscape
Maintenance
Ms. Giles stated item four on the agenda is discussion of continued landscape maintenance. Until the Board asks me to remove this from the agenda, we will leave it on there to give the Board the opportunity to talk about the landscape enhancements along the major roads there. Any discussion?
Chairman Steiner noted there was nothing at this time.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget
Ms. Giles stated item five on the agenda starts on page 155, it is the approved Fiscal Year 2026 budget. Just as a reminder, at your June meeting, the Board approved the FY26 budget. She stated the Board had approved this budget in the June meeting. Some of those changes include assessments using the approved assessment methodology. Assessments decreased just a little for

single family multifamily and multifamily high density and increased for multifamily high density, aquatics. The budget adoption is set for August 18, which is your next meeting at 6:00
p.m. Jay, is there anything to add to the any budget discussion?
Mr. Soriano stated I think we covered everything last month pretty well. We’re doing pretty good. There wasn’t a concern that it really. The biggest change this last year was the methodology issue. So as far as line items, there’s really nothing that concerns me.
Ms. Giles stated it’s an agenda item for Board discussion if there’s any changes you’d like to see made between now and then.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
District Counsel
Mr. Eckert stated he had one item. I did talk to the broker for the impact fee credits. The one sale she was looking at, the project was outside of the impact fee zone but close to its boundaries. She said the county would not approve that transfer because it was outside of the zone. I’ll make another follow up call to her just to get an idea of how far outside the zone it was and whether or not it might make some sense for me to reach out to Clay County Attorney’s Office and talk to them about whether or not it can be used or actually sold, because I don’t know if the broker got a response from staff or she got a legal answer. The way the statute is written, it says that you can use it outside the zone if in fact the improvements that you constructed benefit that area, but you must prove that. Typically what you’ll see is when you can sell them outside your zone is when it’s something that’s right on the border, that their access is the road that you built, even though it’s not in that zone technically. I could reach out to the county and see if there is any more movement there depending on what the broker says. She said that she’ll keep working on trying to find buyers. I have no reason to doubt it because she doesn’t get paid anything unless she finds a buyer with a deal that you all would accept. That is where we are at on that and happy to answer any questions.
Chairman Steiner stated nothing at this time.

District Engineer – Acceptance of the 2025 Annual Engineer’s Report
Ms. Giles stated the next item on the agenda is District Engineer, Mike Silverstein.
Anything to add to your report? His report is on page 173.

Mr. Silverstein stated nothing to add. I guess once you guys start chipping away at it, just like last year, let us know when you got some substantial completion on it. We could start striking stuff off.
Ms. Giles asked Jay, anything to add?
Mr. Soriano stated no. Some of these things are repeats from last year. They’ve already been taken out. We will go through and adjust those, as we mentioned, a little earlier compared to last year. I am still catching up with finishing. Really the only things for your District that we had on the last report were more lake issues, clearing out the stuff in front of the valve walls, things of that nature that have been handed off lake doctors. I know they are having a hard enough time trying to deal with the algae this summer. I will be getting on them and what will happen is, they will send me pictures when they finish certain columns, and I can send that to Mike. On here we have some sidewalks, these are different areas that were not known. We went out last year and did a lot of areas that they noted, but these are new areas. You have a lot of sidewalks within your playground area, and whenever we have new concerns for trip involved, we go out and grind those. I even started last year looking at purchasing our own sidewalk scarifier. It is a grinder because we do this pretty much every year. We’re going around doing some of these spots, and rather than renting it for a few hundred bucks every day when we go out, this would be something I think would be efficient for us to do it that way. There are also a couple things on there that I think timing wise when Mike’s group was starting the report. If you notice you have your courts on there, those have been all resurfaced. Some of that stuff is already done now, even though they just got the report to us. I’ll work with Mike and his group and start knocking off some of these for this report. We are almost done with the last report and catch up and then do this again next year.
Vice Chair Mifsud stated I do have a question about the fencing around the softball fields and the baseball fields. I noticed last month, and I see it in the report as well, it looks bad in this area. We have these nice beautiful new basketball courts with nice new fencing, and then it is a tale of two cities over there. When you look on one side it is nice and on the other side it looks a little sad. What are our plans for that?
Mr. Soriano stated we can go ahead and fix those areas up. That is our fence. It is a different discussion for you guys to start having though. Originally that fence was installed and even partially paid for and maintained by OSA, because you give OSA free usage of your fields.

That has been the way it has worked since their inception. About 12 to 14 years ago, Middle Village and Double Branch gave a lot of money, about a million dollars or so, and land to the county, to take that part and that part of that agreement was, we would also put somebody in place that would be the sports organization coordinators over the organization. That ended up being OSA and we stepped back. The District does not do anything with that type of park. The county did not build the park up big enough, or at least to what they said they were going to do, so OSA needed more space. They came to you guys, and they have always used those fields. In return for not charging them, whether it is meetings in this room or usage of a feature,they helped with putting up the fences, they built the back stops. They helped build most of the dugout. The dugouts weren’t here originally, so they did a lot of that work. That has now ended probably four or five years ago, and we have not gotten anything from them. That organization has changed a lot, there are a lot of different people. Some of the people that were here when that originally happened, their kids are grown, and they are no longer part of those wards. We really do not get any help from them at all. Again, everybody still uses your property. I think that should be a bigger discussion since it is a great amount of work there for some of you guys that live nearby. You see it during the fall when we are battling football groups. Football groups have practice out here and they are constantly driving their cars on the field. They must keep their cars off the grass. They sometimes park over observers or even spend money to build blockades there to stop that from happening. It is a group that really puts a lot of usage on your facilities. In the original years, we leaned on them to help us, and not that we could not afford it. We can. However, there should be some kind of agreement. I think even in the last six or seven years, Double Branch, our sister District, has gone to charging the two organizations that are over there, and soccer has all started paying over the years for usage for all their kids. There are about 200 kids, and they get $10 a child, a couple thousand dollars for every season for about $6,000. This offsets whatever you are doing up there, like receiving irrigation work, because it is their usage. At least Elite and I9 there is a bigger company that is involved and makes money on the organization. I would say the other is completely volunteer. It is a little different kind of our three groups that we have contracts with to use District facilities. But that is a discussion I think we should have for the future since that is good wear and tear on it. It is also something they need, if they want a good-looking fence around the dugouts, they should be helpful.
Vice Chair Mifsud asked if this damage was caused by the tree limbs.

Mr. Soriano stated some of it was. We do have the one from the tree limb. We removed some of the damaged pipe areas. There was one large pipe that I cannot get out and we will have to cut it apart, unfortunately. I would like to remove that tree. We have been coat racking it over the last year or two where we take off dead limbs, but that tree is hollow. We could get two or three more years out of it, but if we are concerned it is going to damage the fence more, we should probably just remove it. It would probably be a good four or five grand worth.
Vice Chair Mifsud stated there were also still honeybees in there.
Mr. Soriano stated they had to fight the bees when they were taking down a branch.
Ms. Giles asked if there was anything else on the engineer’s report to go over? Any questions from the Board?
Ms. Arnau stated I have one question I did not notice in here when I was looking at the sidewalks and that walkway down by the water here, the bricks are starting to come up and they are bad. It is getting to be a bad trip hazard. Are we fixing that anytime soon?
Mr. Soriano stated we have been, but in sections. If we are going to do the whole thing, you are just a quarter mile of bricks out there, and that is not long. We will be doing it all at one time. We will probably do 20 to 30 feet at a time. I try to prioritize areas that look bad or an area that gets pointed out. I am going to try and get that flattened out, but that is a large paper area.
Ms. Arnau stated there is an area near the end down here right in front of the tree. It has got to be the tree that is tearing up the whole section. I have seen a couple of people almost fall.
Mr. Soriano stated I think I know the area. There has been a focus on this last year and have had a lot of work both for us and preserves. We have had a lot of equipment out there. You will notice the sidewalks have been repaired a lot. Sidewalks have the greatest expectation to be flat and level, with pavers and asphalt following. The lowest is mulch. For mulch there is not expectation that there is a trip hazard. That is why sidewalks are high on the priority list. However, we will cleanup at that area. What we could do is bring in our masons that work on other areas. The mason that I used to do the gazebo area is also the one that we are going to go with to take apart the hill, and I will see if he has time. Maybe he can do some extra work for us so we can almost double up on Monday. You are going to pay more like that, but that gets more done at one time. Even if it is not a primary need if it gets pointed out in a report, we want to take care of its kind of figurative, because I do not want him sitting on the court and being here next year again. Like I said, some of these things that are on here, those are already done. That is

a good thing because I can say that was pointed out in last year’s report, which we have already finished. it. It was just timing when they came out and took pictures, but it is the same thing. I do not want them to be on there for two years in a row.
Ms. Giles stated unless there were any other comments or questions, I just look for a motion to accept the annual Engineer’s report.

On MOTION by Chairman Steiner seconded by Vice Chair Mifsud all in favor, Accepting the 2025 Annual Engineer’s Report, was approved.

District Manager
Ms. Giles stated I just want to say thank you. All Supervisors completed their Form 1s prior to the deadline, and I appreciate that. Just as a reminder you still have the ethics training. I think three of you have completed it and the other two, you have until December 31st to complete that. I will give you a reminder every once in a while.

Operations Manager
Memorandum
Ms. Giles stated Jay’s report is on page 237.

Update on Open Items (Deer View Column Repair and Lap Pool Pump Replacement)
Mr. Soriano stated since I have seen you last; we actually have had a lot of community events. However almost all of them this last month were over at our sister district. Double Branch had a makeup drive-in, that we held at the beginning of the year. They have another drive-in scheduled, and more poolside events. There was a party at the pool that was supposed to start at 5:00 p.m., but began storming at 4:30 p.m. We had to close the pools down, but people were just coming in. in. By the time we got to about 7:00, there was around 70 people standing around the pool, hanging out, talking, having some adult beverages. Everybody really seemed to enjoy themselves. I would say overall probably about 100 to130 people attended that night, which was a good bit. This lower picture is the kid’s event. We just kind of asked that toddlers or infants be left with somebody else to watch the kids for the night, because this was an adult only event. Even the deck, we just did not want kids on the deck. There was also a set-up for the

middle-aged group. There was a painting program with about17 families that dropped off 20 kids all together. That ended up getting one of our bigger kid’s events. It actually cost us more in our special event budget than the adult event. There were some cases of beer leftover from the adult even, so that is going to go to this next event that we are going to do over here at Middle Village this next month and we’re going to try to expand, maybe do something more with the kids the teenager group was still kind of the group that we saw down there. 12, 13, 14-year-olds are able to come to the pool by themselves, and we kept them off the other side where there is another pool.. We will probably have a couple options for the kids the same way so the parents do not feel like they cannot come attend the event. Like I said, we had a lot of calls, emails, people thanking us, and asked when we were going to hold the next one. It has been a long time since we had anything that was really geared towards the adults only. Back when the developer was here, we did that stuff a lot. It’s a little different now. Once we took over, everything was family- oriented. Our next event will have a full band. The gentleman has keyboards and horns and such so it should be fun. I got one email concerned from a resident that was not happy that this gentleman played a lot of rock and roll and country music. I did not really respond on to them in a way that I think he would have been happy. When you are playing an acoustic guitar that kind of lends to certain genres. I do not get a lot of hip hop and rap on acoustic guitar so, but we will get that with the band. We have some of that stuff, they do covers. Next year, I might even do a steel drum band out in the pool. I think that would be fitting. I am looking at a way to put it into our schedule some more for next year too, but it will have to work for the band’s too, so we have not finalized a date. It will either the last week of July or the first week of August. The kids go back to school on August 11th, and we are thinking about having a back-to-school party that weekend, as well. We have one week where we must fill, and we were thinking about sports. Then, just to update, the swim team has been working well with us for relocation and changing the practices around. They are coming to an end. Now my biggest concern is the pool. So, I was supposed to have an update last week from Compac. They are the ones that are fabricating all the devices to put our new motor on. They kind of avoided me. I called them three different times last week and no one’s coming back in. I am sure it is because he is behind, but the hope was that they would have some devices. To me, whether it is this week, or next, we can start pulling the old stuff out and putting the new stuff in. We are at eight weeks now after tomorrow. I need to get this up and running. My concern now is you have typically two high schools that use your

pools and they are able to start the next. I have already let them know that I do not know if that is going to work out. We will see if we can get everything as quick as possible, but I do not have a date yet. I don’t even know if they have finished with welding and fabricating up there. I do not have a way to get everything else yet, and residents are asking. We are going as fast as we can right now to get back up and running, but hopefully I will hear something soon and then I can work with the high schools also to get them in. I can tell them they need to make plans if they really want to start early. They may need to make plans to either squeeze in at Double Branch, but we are limited over there and they can’t do certain thingslike practice diving over that pool. They may need to work with Cecil Field the same way with summer recreational team. I am sure we will hear from the year-round team, but I am going to ask if they can do month-to-month. So, these are those families that are coming from the recreational that want to continue month to month like we did last year and worked out there was a good 20 or so kids in those months. I do not think that was a bad thing. I do not think it was as big as they thought it was going to be. But it worked out to where it was not more of a hassle, I would say on us than it was beneficial to the swimmers. I am working as fast as I can on that. Right now, I do not have much of an update for the residents.
Vice Chair Mifsud asked how often do we send information to the residents about the status of the pool being gathered? That seems to be the thing that causes the most friction. Misinformation.
Mr. Soriano stated we have sent out three, but the biggest problem is people want a timeline. I cannot get a timeline and if we give a timeline and it gets broken, that is going to be worse. I can send out another one because the last one we sent out was the day after our last meeting and it was kind of the same thing. Pay attention to the emails. But then the light smart group does update them when they come through.
Chairman Steiner asked is there any way or do we have posted on the resident’s website that the pool is closed for maintenance or still closed for maintenance?
Mr. Soriano stated it was not on the website. The email blast and then after pools. We did encounter an issue this last month. I thought I had it kind of figured out until this past weekend, but I opened the deck. Since this has happened, we allowed the adults to go out there and hang out on the deck because they don’t like to be with their kids or families. We have a very problematic few that like to swim in the water and we have told them that there is no filtration.

We were manually keeping it clear by adding chemicals pretty much every day. It makes it easier when we open it back up, so we do not have to deal with the green. I then stopped and let it turn green, hoping they would not get in. However, we got reports of multiple people getting kicked out this weekend because they were back there swimming around. I may have to close the deck to stop these people from going in and swimming in the pool.
Vice Chair Mifsud asked if there were no cover they could use.
Mr. Soriano stated if I put the cover on for the heater, we will have to close the deck. I was trying to give the residents something, but yeah, we have one. I understand you don’t want to be around the family, but really, if you just want to cool off, it is a few feet, you got to walk to get to the other pool. This weekend it was green, and I do not think they will get in if it is green.
Vice Chair Mifsud stated they were still in there when it was green. Mr. Soriano stated I was hoping that were deter them, but I guess not.
Chairman Steiner stated what I was talking about was we have a lot of folks that will go to our website, and it lists the pools. In fact, we even get them an email blast that went out and said the pool, all the pools were open. It was on the holiday schedule, I believe, and I knew what you meant. But there needs to possibly be a couple of words put on the website informing the residents of the pool.
Mr. Soriano stated I can post it on the website. We have gotten a lot of people signed up for email. I want them to be signed up not just for the lap pool, but everything else we do. If I have an issue, I got to close the fitness center or when the county contacts me because of a major concern shutting down the roadway. That is how we send it out. I do not put stuff on the website other than our long term plans a lot of times.
Chairman Steiner stated just while we are through this process right now, something that they go to the web page to look for a phone number and it is right there for them to know.
Mr. Soriano stated we have that at the top. That explains things like the adult swim at your own risk, stuff like that, in big red letters. We can do that with the adult pool here. Adult pools still currently closed, and something stating to sign up for the newsletter. When I met you guys’ last month, these afternoon Florida storms, first couple months of summer break, it was hot, it was clear by then. We are already starting to get our daily closings for thunder and storms, so have been using the old Twitter. If you guys remember, way back in 2017, 18, 19, we used Twitter to tell everybody of the pool closures or when it was open. Back then, they had a service

called Fast Follow. If you were a person that did not have a smartphone or Twitter account, Fast Follow would send the tweet as a text message. Now it is X, and it is the same user profile. They hear that thunder, the lifeguards get everybody out of the pool. That supervisor is sending out a post saying Middle Village Phase 2 pools are closed and then they will send out an update on Twitter that they have closed, and another one when it is back open. They do not do it every time, only for open and close. Sometimes there’s a case where these guys will close and they’ll be open for a good half hour, hour before the storm moves it up to where it’s a problem. It’s rare, but it does happen, and that allows me to see it. They have been doing updates that way too.
Vice Chair Mifsud asked do we still have Fast Follow?
Mr. Soriano stated since Twitter has become X, they do not have Fast Follow anymore, and that was a large reason we stopped Twitter during COVID. I also had so many complaints of people who did not want Twitter. A lot of people back then definitely didn’t want to have a smartphone or must sign up for a social thing. Now I tell you, my grandmother’s on TikTok, so no problem putting it out there. I like Instagram more because you cannot reply if we set it up that way. This is one of the first things that you see when you go to this site. It does
not monitor each post; we turn off the reply for that reason. We do not need them telling me about every other issue because it is not a social page. I am also not allowed to delete anything, so I would rather just turn off replies. However, it would need to be set up differently because it is pictures, unlike X. We will be working that so we can set others up as well.
Chairman Steiner asked if they send out an email, do they send out another one the next

day?

Mr. Soriano stated we send out about three or four a week.
Chairman Steiner stated the main thing I am getting at is, as a resident, if I get an email

and two days from then I want to go back to the pool. How do I find out if the pool is still closed? That is why I say to add it to the website.
Mr. Soriano stated on there it says, you will get another update.
Chairman Steiner stated the thing about that is, if they haven’t gotten the update, they may want to go to the pool, only to realize it is not open.
Mr. Soriano stated it is a convenience thing, however people must look for that system and be a part of it. If you have not clicked on or actually taken part in anything on it in a year or two and sometimes it can help if you open it up and read it. If you click on the link, you are a

part of it. If you do not do anything for a certain amount of time, it will boot you out of the system. We are only sending out emails about once or twice a month. We will never hit it because even at every household. We have 7,000 units. At 30,000 we will be fine. I think it is 50,000 is what our level of pay is until we get to the next one up.
Chairman Steiner stated they are going to get burnout with that number, and they will want to throw them in the trash. This is a way for them to go our website and see an update.
Mr. Soriano stated he can at least send out an email for the pool. Overall, I have only had three people actually emailing me, and it is mostly complaints. When they want to complain about something, they do not want to take the time to investigate. But yes, that is not an issue. I will put a note at the top of the page, like in red asterisk, “Adult pool still closed”. Like I said, I cannot put a timeline on it, until I have something more from the vendors. If they tell me all of the parts are in, it should only take a week. There is a lot of work to do out there, but our pool contractor did a good job. Almost the same thing that happened to Double Branch last year. They were replacing their slide motor, and one thing that they did is rearrange it, instead of the slide motor sitting horizontally, it sat vertically. The reason for that was we have seen this problem here where if we have a flood, whether it is a hurricane or what, those tanks sit underground below the rig. Well, if we a flood, that floods the motor. They now stand upright, with the electronic portion of the motor sitting out of the tank. Even if the tank floods, it will not damage the motor. It has taken 19, 20 years for us to come up with that idea. We did drown out three or four different motors over the years, but they did have to do the work to fabricate a new stand for it to sit upright on and rebolt everything. 10-inch, 12-inch pipes are not easy to bend or move. As soon as we have part, I will feel better saying we should.
Chairman Steiner stated be ready in about a week? I would say it may be better to wait until you get down to about two days before providing a timeline.
Mr. Soriano stated we can put that on the website. Moving on, on that report you will see our usage did even out. I was worried last month when I talked to you guys that we were getting busier than we have been in about 20 years. Two things I think happened. One, the weather helps kind of cut down and keep people out. But two, it was outrageously hot. There were some days where it was 104, 105 feeling out there and, and the pools were not crowded. I was really surprised. I mean there was a few families floating around. I’m thinking where’s everybody at? They were hiding in air conditioning. However, that only lasted a week or two. It slowed down

where I did not have any concerns that we were going to be hitting capacity and asking people to wait outside or anything like that. That is always my concern, however I am not sure if you can actually hit that point. Double Branch can probably hold around 300 or so people. We have to start asking people to wait outside until the family leaves. It has been years since we have done that. I actually think it was before we put the computers in. The computers helped us to catch some of those people that were not supposed to be here. It also evened out then, which made me feel better. It will slow down even more because the kids will be back in school soon. Moving on to maintenance, the only thing was the update on the pool. I just mentioned that unless there were any other questions. I will show you some items that we talked about last time. This is our repair to the parking lot, if you have seen it. That was finished the week after the last meeting. When we went in, we did cut everything out. We cut it big, big square so that we can try to find any abscesses. The hole was pretty big, but we did not find one specific spot that I was concerned with on the pipe. It still did seem like kind of what the original asphalt guys told me time, we just did not do a good job of compacting it. When we did the first repair, it kind of sunk back down, because we have had a lot of rain. However, there is an issue, so we were able to find it. We have done a lot of asphalt repair over the last couple years, and I bought a little compactor. This little compactor does a great job for us. Heavy plate and it helps us flatten everything out, and then then we go back in and seal it. This is all waterproof too. However, while we were compacting, we were able to see this is the pipe I had concern with. There is a hairline crack right here inside that circle. As we were compacting, we were able to see a little bit of sand. You see it coming out now laying down there on the bottom. What is happening is there is a crack on the outside of the box, and as water goes through, we are pushing it down and it is making the sand through, just slow enough to make an abscess behind the box. Nobody ever wants to dig up a pipe, especially one that is this far down. This is about six feet below the asphalt level. We would have to dig down on the outside to get to that pipe. I still have to fix this though, because the same thing that is going to happen. It will slowly deposit sand and we will get a hole behind the box. If it keeps going, in a year or so, the parking lot will have a sinkhole. I will bring in a company that will take a saw and cut out a chunk of this concrete and they will fill it with a hydrophobic type of cement, that is stronger and blocks the water. That will seal the wall, so we do not have anything coming through the wall anymore. I will work with Mike on and the engineer group, because hopefully they have a picture of this box for me that I can give to the

vendor and show them. That might be something that if they did not get, I can get it from Peter Ma, who will still have it on-record.
Mr. Silverstein stated I should be able to pull some of that up through the drawings we have on file. You can figure out a day and a time to give me a call and I will send it.
Ms. Giles asked if he needed anything from the Board now.
Mr. Soriano stated he does not need anything at this time. You are talking maybe a couple thousand dollars for somebody to climb in there and cut out. It is not a big crack, only 8 or 9 inches. If I catch it before it is too big, it may be less. Now, if we were to cut into the box and they remove a section, and they see there is a bigger problem, that is when I will come to the Board. At this moment, I do not need anything from the Board. This is a repair we must make. We need to make sure that in the future, there is nothing sinking. I must move forward with the deal whether it is $500 repair or $5,000 repair, once that becomes something that too expensive or much larger than what I am trying to show you here, then I bring that back to you guys. So, these are new. I just got them set up. Today Amazon prime was perfect for buying some new devices, but we are going to be putting TV’s up in this room, which I have requested for years. I got to figure out something way to make it look better. I will send out my reports beforehand, so that you can always open these up and peruse what concerns I will be talking about during the meeting. I will also have these little devices that will allow that way you guys can put us on TVs, I can throw it into the TV in front of you. I can even do things like open my email and put the email onto the TV for you so you can see if there is any concern. I can put those up on the screen and just limit how much stuff I am printing for you. I will send it to you before the meeting, but we will also have the TVs. Unless there are any other questions, that is it for me.
Ms. Giles asked if there was anything else for Jay. Chairman Steiner stated there was not.
Ms. Giles asked if Ms. Suchsland had anything for the Board.
Ms. Suchsland stated the tree guys are coming up at the end of the week, starting on Wednesday. We do have a pine tree down by the bell tower. I think it got struck by lightning and we need to take it down. More that have fallen, will also need to be cleaned up. There was also an accident in the center island down here that took out a Crepe Myrtle and part of it is across the road, because they had to move it out of the way.
Mr. Soriano stated we will get that cleaned up.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience  Comments  (limited  to  three
minutes) / Supervisor Requests
Ms. Giles stated there were no members of the audience present. We will move on to Supervisor’s requests.
Chairman Steiner stated I would like to do is remind the Board that it came to my attention, that we must come up with objectives, Board accomplishments for the coming year. Be thinking along the lines of what might be considered objectives that we can go ahead and submit.
Mr. Eckert stated that is a good summary. The new legislation that you all implemented last year requires every local government, including special Districts, to come up with what your annual goals and objectives are and then what your performance measures are to see if you have met those goals. Because that statute was brand new last year, your management team put together some goals and objectives that were, I would say, a little bit more high level and not real detailed in terms of what a specific goal you might want to accomplish in the next year is. An example of a goal and objective would be evaluating whether we should add more pickleball courts or something like that. Did you do the evaluation? Yes. What was the result? And there is no number of goals and objectives that you must have under the statute. You just must have something. I think what the chair is suggesting is if there is anything you would like the Board to study or have as a goal over the next year, then be thinking about that. I think we are going to deal with that in September.
Ms. Giles stated I was going to add it to your August agenda for just discussion, but this is a great high-level overview of that so I can add it to September, since you just went through that.
Chairman Steiner stated thank you, that is all I had.
