Ms. Burns stated they approved a budget and set a public hearing date at the last meeting. After that meeting, they received some clarification on some of the 2B lots on the status of when those would be platted. All the numbers are the same on this budget and the assessment amounts are the same. She noted the only change is the way that they are categorizing just that phase of lots that they have listed as anticipated platted because they won’t be platted at the start of the fiscal year, but they will have cost associated with those and likely some residents in them at some point during the year. She was happy to answer any questions.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration of License Agreement for
Installation of Signs on District Property with HOA
Ms. Burns stated they received a couple of emails from residents asking them to install no solicitation signs at the entrance of the community because they were having issues with a lot of solicitors. She explained that because solicitation is happening on the private lots, it is more of an HOA issue. It’s in their covenants and restrictions, but the CDD owns the property. She further explained that they generally enter into an agreement with the HOA that says if they want to install signs for that policy that is affecting the private lots, it’s in their covenants and restrictions and they will allow them to place the signage on the CDD property. She added that they were just authorizing them to be installed.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Other Business
Ms. Burns wanted to make the Board aware of a few security issues that they have been having at the pool. She explained that they have a group of teenagers who are coming from adjacent

communities and the majority of them do not live in the community. She stated they have a lot of resident complaints about the teenagers’ behavior. She also stated they do know that a least one of the kids who is with these teenagers is a resident and they were just able to identify who that was in the last 48 hours based on some information that was provided to them. She further explained that the teenagers previously got a hold of a vendor code and was using it to get in. She added that the code has now been turned off and all the vendors have been assigned new separate codes. She also stated they shut off the card access for the household where the child was letting the majority of these teenagers in. She pointed out that these measures will not entirely solve the problem because a lot of the times the teenagers are hopping the fence. She stated they have also had a conversation with the security company about the guard not escalating to call the police. In saying that, she also stated in some incidences they have called the police and the police either did not show or they have taken several hours to show, which by that time the teenagers were gone. She noted they asked the security guard to give them a mean and imposing guard and they are going to have them stationed at the gate rather than on the pool deck enforcing pool rules. She also noted they would be sending a blast to residents tomorrow to notify them. Residents will be required to use the cards that are assigned to them and not letting other people in even if they know them. She advised that residents should be prepared to give their address and show their card. She noted the police are going to be doing some extra patrols in the community, particularly in the amenity area. She asked the residents to continue to update their staff when they see issues.
