Page 1 of 3

Mr. Bello advised that plans were 60% completed for Wild Blue and Mr. Barraco added that Cummins Cederberg were drafting Blue Lake’s plans and had continued to ask for information. Mr. Barraco stated that meetings were being scheduled with the County and SFWMD regarding permitting.

Mr. Barraco noted that there was another shoreline protection that Ms. Meneely had gotten information about at a conference. He indicated that it may be applicable, and the company was willing to meet and make a presentation. Ms. Meneely stated she would send information to the Board. Discussion ensued with the consensus of the Board agreeing to invite the company to make a presentation with the District’s engineers, Mr. Bello on behalf of the District and Linda Jones on behalf of the HOA.

Mr. Bello also advised that he was meeting with Cummins Cederberg tomorrow for an update, adding that the group meets once every two weeks.

NEW BUSINESS
Update on Staging Areas

Mr. Haber stated that the engineer had sent an email with parcels that are viable for staffing, noting that all but one were owned by the HOA. He continued that the CDD has lake access easements on those parcels but material storage was different. He recommended that temporary construction easement documents be prepared naming the HOA as an additional insured as well as putting in clauses for repair of any damages. Mr. Hasty stated that the more areas available, the more it draws down the cost of the project. He mentioned some smaller open areas that may be considered. Ms. Jones stated that the entrance area could be taken out but that there were open areas behind mailboxes that the engineers could consider. Mr. Hasty added that there may be homeowners who have extra deep lots that could be considered in addition to the common areas. There was a consensus of the Board for the attorney to draft an easement agreement for the various staging areas.
Bond Process Update

Mr. Vette stated that he had spoken with Jon Kessler regarding bonding and that Mr. Kessler provided a timeline. Mr. Vette explained that the bond process takes about 5-6 months and begins when the engineer’s report is available with costs. He continued that they had spoken about the possibility of two different bonds, one for Phase 1 and one for Phase 2, with a pay down with a settlement with Lennar built in. General discussion ensued on bifurcation of the bonds noting that there may be better rates on one larger bond. Mr. Vette stated that options would be laid out during the bond process.
