Staff Reports

Mr. Lazarovich: I was provided with a drainage easement agreement late last night that the board previously approved on October 19, 2023. It has been a lot of work to get to this point. There were a lot of comments and changes and this is subject to their board approval, however their staff has signed off on it. This is regarding two wetland tracts with a school in between so there is a drainage pipe connecting those. We worked a lot with the engineer on this issue too.

On MOTION by Ms. Manchester seconded by Mr. Bell with all in favor the drainage easement agreement with OCPS was approved.

Mr. Lazarovich: I believe we wrapped up all the conveyances and I believe we received all the recoded deeds.

Field Manger
Mr. Scheerer: In July we had some bad storms come through. We did extremely well on the extension on Dowden Road East. We only had a handful of trees that blew over and we had the landscaper re-stake those trees. Whoever did the install did a great job.
Pond maintenance is going well; the midge control program is doing well. I have not had any calls concerning complaints with respect to that.
We still have landscape damage from when they did the work for the school that is yet to be corrected by the contractor, but I met with Yellowstone and before school started, they came in and cleaned it all up for the parents and students. I drove it again this week and it looks really good. We do have some plants that need to be replaced, a couple medjool palms that need to be addressed by the contactor.
We also discovered during our drive through yesterday heading east on Dowden before you get to the stoplight at Founders there was a main line break in the median so we shut the water down immediately and crews should be onsite today or tomorrow to see what is going on.
The improvements are good by N-4 and N-5, the entry walls, hardscape and stuff. Once that is done as we prepare to do our landscape inspection and turnover process, we are going to need the SOBs for that. I created an insurance document and we will photo document everything and assign dollar amounts to it. This way once everything is done and accepted all those assets are covered.
