OLD BUSINESS
Update on Fence Repairs

Mr. Dean advised that he had received 3 or 4 proposals and went over each one, asking each company to validate that all was included. He stated that AJW Construction had the most responsive proposal at
$55,000 but the budget was $50,000. He went on to state that he would go back to see if they would do the project within the budget.

A motion was made by Mr. Dean, seconded by Mr. Fluegel and passed unanimously approving the proposal from AJW Construction at a not-to-exceed amount of $50,000.

Ms. Meneely confirmed that the spraying of the weeds had occurred. Mr. Edwards added that where the spraying occurred looked dead.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Cummins/Cederberg Agreement for Design Engineering Services for Retaining Wall

Mr. Edwards stated that the proposal was received Friday, after having been updated from the initial proposal. He added that he wanted to make sure that the next step of preparing construction plans could be part of the contract. Mr. Haber stated that it could, but they may not have wanted to provide a cost since permitting costs is an unknown until an alternative is selected for the repairs. Mr. Barraco stated that the firm would do a thorough investigation and then come up with options. Mr. Hasty added that he did a review of the company and they are qualified to take the project through to permitting. Ms. Meneely pointed out that funds were not available until a funding agreement is in place so there is time to finalize everything with the consultant

After discussion, a motion approving an agreement and authorizing Mr. Edwards, as Vice Chair, to execute and ratify at a future meeting.

Consider Resolution No. 2023-07 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2022/2023 Amended Budget

Resolution No. 2023-07 was presented, entitled:

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-07

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE BLUE LAKE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT AUTHORIZING AND ADOPTING AN AMENDED FINAL FISCAL YEAR 2022/2023 BUDGET (“AMENDED BUDGET”), PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 189, FLORIDA STATUTES; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Ms. Meneely advised that an updated amended budget had been distributed, as a large bill came in that was not reflected in the printed agenda backup. She stated that the District was operating in a deficit. Mr. Hasty stated that the funding agreement with Lennar was in its final form. Mr. Haber pointed out that there were two forms of funding agreements being considered by Lennar. There are the expenses that are falling outside the scope of the annual budget that the District does not have money for and would need to repay in the next fiscal year. The other agreement would be a capital funding agreement for the hurricane repairs which the CDD would be obligated to repay within 5 years. He recommended the Board approve both the Budget Funding Agreement and the Capital Funding Agreement, authorizing the Chairman to execute each in between meetings.

A motion was made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Ernst and passed unanimously approving both the Budget Funding Agreement and the Capital Funding Agreement, authorizing the Chairman to execute each in between meetings.

Mr. Miholic asked if the funding agreement would impact what he believes is Lennar’s liability and if Lennar had been provided the Hans Wilson report. Mr. Hasty stated that they had been given the report and been asked for a contribution for which they responded that they were considering it, but no determination has yet been made. There were questions regarding the statute of limitations and Mr. Haber went over the deadlines for latent defects and statutes of repose. Mr. Barraco stated he would get the phases and dates based on certifications from the County. Mr. Haber was asked if Kutak Rock had litigators to which he responded that if it came to that, he would recommend the District seek expertise. After discussion, the Board then went back to approving the amended budget.

A motion was made by Mr. Edwards, seconded by Mr. Hasty and passed unanimously adopting Resolution No. 2023-07, as presented.
