Mr. Reis asked about the historical documents and Mr. Haber replied that the evidence on the turnover is largely in the plat language and accepted via signature. Mr. Barraco added that this was done well before the storm. Mr. Haber stated that in addition, he believes all or portions of the water management district permit had been assigned to the CDD, but the status needs to be confirmed.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

April 11, 2023, Regular Board Meeting

The minutes of the April 11, 2023, Regular Board Meeting were presented for consideration.

A motion was made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Dean and passed unanimously approving the minutes of the April 11, 2023, Regular Board Meeting, as presented.

OLD BUSINESS

There were no Old Business items to come before the Board.

NEW BUSINESS
Discussion Regarding Wilson Retaining Wall Report

Mr. Haber advised that the Chairman was not in attendance due to a funeral, but he had spoken with him a few times regarding the report and indicated that Mr. Hasty was hoping the document would be more exhaustive in certain aspects. He added that the Wilson firm believes that the report fulfilled the scope and does not believe that they will be providing any further work on the report. Mr. Haber noted that the Chairman sought supplemental information, but he was not sure if more would be provided.

Mr. Fluegel asked about a presentation from Hans Wilson. Mr. Barraco indicated he would contact Hans to see if he was willing to come to a meeting for a presentation or if he was willing to add to the report. There was general discussion regarding surge over the wall and other resident obstructions.

Mr. Reis advised they had video of the surge and asked if the wall was built to code. Mr. Barraco noted there was no minimum code, as there was no code requiring the wall. Discussion ensued about the designs considered and what was required by the County regarding littoral plantings and slopes. Upon further discussion, there was a consensus of the Board to have Hans Wilson in for a presentation or request a subsequent report. Mr. Edwards stated that Wilson may not be obligated to do either. Mr. Barraco stated he would contact Mr. Wilson to determine if he would be willing to expand his agreement scope to attend a CDD meeting.

Discussion Regarding Hurricane Fence Damage

Ms. Meneely thanked Dr. Hamburger and the other residents who walked the property and put together the report of specific fence damage locations. Mr. Dean indicated that he had been in contact with the fence contractor and was getting a proposal. Ms. Meneely stated that the cost was not in the current budget, but she added funds in the upcoming budget, which may require a developer agreement to fund sooner.

Consider Resolution No. 2023-01 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Proposed Budget

Resolution No. 2023-01 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION 2023-01

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT APPROVING A PROPOSED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023/2024 AND SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING

THEREON PURSUANT TO FLORIDA LAW; ADDRESSING TRANSMITTAL, POSTING AND PUBLICATION REQUIREMENTS; ADDRESSING SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mr. Walker went over the budget. Ms. Meneely noted that funds had been included to reimburse for the fence repairs, however, the cost of the project has not yet been obtained, so the funds are a guesstimate. It was the consensus of the Board to add an additional $20,000 to the Miscellaneous Maintenance line item to make sure the cost of the fence repairs wase covered. There was a discussion on the deadline for proposed and final budgets. Mr. Walker went over the new assessment amounts and reminded the Board that letters would need to be sent out since assessments were increasing.

Mr. Barraco left the meeting at 1:56 p.m.

Ms. Meneely stated that the residents present had asked her about a maintenance agreement with the HOA and Mr. Haber went over how these agreements work. Ms. Meneely stated that if such an agreement is put in place in the future, CDD assessments would be reduced since the expense would be covered by HOA assessments.

A motion was made by Mr. Fluegel, seconded by Mr. Edwards and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2023-01, as amended, setting the Public Hearing for August 8, 2023.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
Manager’s Report

Ms. Meneely went over the upcoming meeting schedule of June 13, July 11 and August 8, which is the budget public hearing date. She stated that she would be unavailable to attend the June 13th meeting, but her colleague, Michelle Krizen, could lead the meeting if it is held. There was a consensus of the Board to hold the June 13th meeting, if additional info is received from Hans Wilson or the fence contractor that would require Board action.

Engineer’s Report

Dr. Hamburger asked about the diagram of drains that Mr. Barraco indicated he would put together. Ms. Meneely noted she would remind Mr. Barraco.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

There were no Board Member comments.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Mr. Ernst, seconded by Mr. Fluegel and passed unanimously adjourning the Regular Board Meeting at 2:26 p.m.
