General Election Qualifying Period and Procedure Mr. Showe: Two seats will go to general election this year, seat 1 currently held by Mr. Bell and seat 3 currently held by Mr. Weiderhaft. Anybody interested in qualifying for those seats will need to go to the supervisor of elections office. All the instructions are in the agenda package. The official qualifying period is from noon June 8th to noon June 12th. Mr. Weiderhaft: Do those seats have to be filled by residents? Mr. Showe: Yes. These are general elected seats; it has to be someone registered to vote and lives within the boundaries of the district. Mr. Weiderhaft: If no one qualifies, do they keep their seats? Mr. Showe: Typically, that would be a carry-over seat. You can do a resolution that keeps them in the seats until a qualified elector shows up. Mr. Weiderhaft: After this deadline and they stay in their seats, then somebody comes and says I want to be a part of that. They would be able to take one of the seats? Mr. Showe: As long as they are a qualified elector the district has an obligation to fill the seat. Mr. Weiderhaft: If three or four people wanted to fill those seats, they could do that now. Mr. Showe: Right now, there is no vacancy. They would have to go through the election process and qualify for the open seats and if there is competition, it goes on the ballot in November. D. Field Manager Mr. Scheerer: There is not a lot to report on the field side. We are consistent with our ride throughs, we are there every Friday, I will be there again tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. There is a little hog damage. We will continue to monitor those. As development goes on in the area you can imagine they have nowhere to go and are looking for something to eat. We will continue to work on that and fix those areas that need it. There is a park in Phase N1A, it has a pergola. The pergola is freshly washed and the surrounding sidewalks are done. We will continue to monitor any new open space for additional maintenance. There is an alleyway behind a lift station that goes behind the homes and butts up to a K1 pond for Storey Park, and we have had photographs of people parking in that open space. We may want to look at some point to install no parking signs. We are still getting concerns about the intersection by the Coontie Palm cutback. We are going to be there tomorrow to lay out which areas we have to remove to fully satisfy some concerns. The engineer looked at it and said we need to make sure we are maintaining a line of sight and people have a problem stopping at the stop bar then merging into the pedestrian area in order to advance into the intersection. We are going to cut back what we feel we need to cut back and modify that with some additional turf. Midge control is ongoing. We are monitoring the rest of the turnover from East West Road segment 2. We have a few minor issues to be resolved by the install contractor.
