Lake Bank Project Update
Discussion of Options

Mr. Vette went over the lake bank repair options and the costs involved, which were included in the agenda packet. Mr. Rapponotti noted that he disagreed with some of the numbers that were presented in the report.

Gurley/Fant Executive Summary of Litigation Status

Mr. Gurley gave a presentation noting that the trial date had been set for March 2027, although most cases settle with mediation. He explained that Lennar had offered $2.8 Million with nothing in writing, but there was no basis for that number and they have basically said “take it or leave it.” He believes that it is possible to negotiate something that makes sense as he believes the District has a very strong case. He noted that critical components were left out of the retaining wall and no provisions were put in for erosion. He opined that he believes there was a gaping hole in what should have been done and when given options, the developer chose the cheapest one and it failed. He also noted that Lennar warrants the wall to do what it is supposed to do to protect resident yards and will indemnify and pay for it with this paperwork hitting the courthouse in July. He stated that mediation should take place in late October with, what he believes is a substantial likelihood of success.
Mr. Rapponotti gave a synopsis of the probability of outcomes. He opined that he believes it is a breach of contract warranty claim and the community is currently just behind Wild Blue for filing. He also believes that the community will prevail and collect attorney’s fees but costs are at the discretion of the court.

Residents spoke both for and against the proposal with some noting that the impact of boats hitting the wall had not been taken into account.
Mr. Vette noted that the settlement involved the HOA and that part of the agreement was that the HOA accept a portion for their costs. He added that he heard new things today regarding the warranty. There was discussion by the Board that to date nothing had been received in writing from Lennar. Mr. Rapponotti stated that he could not accept an offer that was not in writing and involves the acceptance of the HOA as part of the settlement.

Mr. Vette made a motion to take the Lennar contribution and have the HOA sign off while keeping the litigation fees in the budget until such time as the money from Lennar is in hand. The motion died for lack of a second.

Mr. Brazdis noted that there were 425 homes in the community and felt that more representative input was needed. He suggested the HOA do a poll to be used as guidance, noting that the outcome does not impact the decision of the Board as elected officials.

A motion was made by Mr. Brazdis, seconded by Mr. Rapponotti and passed unanimously to move forward with a community-wide poll, with the HOA’s help, for feedback and to include the litigation expenses in the proposed budget.

Decision on Inclusion of Litigation/Settlement

Additions/Deletions

Mr. Vette asked and it was consensus of the Board to move forward with obtaining proposals for the work currently done by Solitude. Discussion ensued reading having an officer at the meeting may not be needed and could be a meeting by meeting decision. Mr. Vette brought up saving funds by not having the District attorney attend the meetings but the consensus of the Board was that Mr. Haber should attend by phone, as many issues involve legal matters. Mr. Vette stated and it was the consensus of the Board that the Board go back to monthly meetings beginning in the new fiscal year.
Discussion on Phase 2 Lake Bank Project Plan

Ms. Meneely noted this $32,000 proposal was signed and funded and she further noted that ratification of the Chair’s signature was needed, as it was executed in between meetings.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
Engineer’s Report
Update on Annual Maintenance Inspection Proposal

Mr. Barraco stated that he would give the amount to be included for the budget to start the program and noted that there was a blowout of a berm and the cost from Estate Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance would be $1,317 to replace landscaping that had been destroyed.

A motion was made by Mr. Vette, seconded by Mr. Brazdis and passed unanimously approving the expenditure.

Update on Dock Holders Letter – Request for Extension

Mr. Haber noted that 5 to 10 of the 18 letters had been returned. He indicated that one request for an extension had been received. He further noted that a contractor had agreed to move docks at a cost of
$4,000 per dock, which one resident decided to pull back their letter in favor of moving their dock. He also noted that nothing had been recorded at this time, as we are not mobilized and there is no pressing time issue.

COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA
Mr. Bello advised that he had been harassed by a Board Member when taking the trash out and he was going to file a complaint. Ms. Meneely advised that this Board did not have recourse and this was a police matter.
Mr. Lamb opined that the Board should have a discussion on being proactive and deal with the root causes of issues, not just the symptoms. Mr. Barraco stated that proactive measures were now part of the permitting process.

Mr. Marsjanik noted that hearing about latent defects in the wall changed his thought process.

Our Philosophy Regarding Management of Natural Resources & Customer Relationship
The vision and management philosophy of Advanced Aquatic Services, Inc. (AAS) is based on Responsible Environmental Stewardship. Our sustainability goal is to use alternative methods of control whenever possible to reduce overall herbicide use in lakes and ponds and provide a balanced ecosystem for our customers.
Advanced Aquatic Services offers environmentally sound management plans to provide solutions for healthy and aesthetically pleasing waterways. AAS is a Future Forward Organization continually seeking contemporary innovations and strategies to enhance a sustainable future that leads to environmental, social, and economic improvements in the communities where we work.
Our science-based strategy to target the source of problematic lake & pond issues is outlined in our innovative environmental management plans—
Perform strategic water quality analysis on site by AAS Biologists to identify and diagnose any underlying ecological concerns.
Recommendation of bottom diffused aeration technology to aide in naturally reducing nutrient levels, thereby reducing algal blooms and the frequency and intensity of herbicide applications, all while improving water quality and enhancing fisheries.
Utilization of beneficial bacteria and enzymes to naturally improve water quality, water clarity and reduce bottom organic sediment (muck).
Stocking of sterile triploid grass carp to aide in naturally controlling submersed aquatic weeds, thereby lowering the reliance upon aquatic herbicides.
Use of sequestering agents (i.e., Alum) to lower nutrient levels with the purpose of reducing the severity and recurrence of algal blooms.
Lake/Pond Shading applications to diminish sunlight penetrating to a lake & pond bottom region. Helps to reduce overall algae and aquatic weed growth.
Creation of “Living Shorelines” of native aquatic plants to filter surface run-off of excess nutrients such as Nitrogen and Phosphorus. These valuable native plants will also provide wildlife habitats, aide in shoreline erosion control and enhance environmental aesthetics.
Employing state-of-the-art equipment, technology, and techniques allows AAS to provide proactive and sustainable solutions to the most challenging water quality concerns. Most importantly, our “Customer First” philosophy to client service and satisfaction is a vital part of the foundation of AAS.
At AAS, customer first is defined as 1- Always carefully identifying and listening to the goals and expectations of our customers. 2- Crafting everything we do with focus upon customers goals and expectations. 3-Maximizing communication with all customers so that we can be as proactive as possible with all recommendations. 4- Responding to all customer requests/phone calls/emails within 24 hrs.
Simply summarized, AAS places customers first in all our considerations and we treat all people the way we would like to be treated.

Subject: Updated Resume for Open CDD Seat - Matt Robbins

Hi Kathleen: please note I have a new email address for CDD-related matters.

I've updated my resume to focus on the most relevant points for the CDD Board. Please include it for the next meeting.

Matt Robbins
Relevant Work, Education, and Volunteer History

Treasurer of Fox Point Homeowners Association (a 411-home Illinois community, 2005-2008)

Senior Managing Director and Portfolio Manager for PPM America (a $100 billion Chicago investment manager, 1996-2019)
Chartered Financial Analyst (until retirement in 2019) MBA from Purdue University (1985)
BS in Biochemistry from UCLA (1980)

Qualifications
>> I have 3 years direct experience working on the shoreline erosion issues of Fox Point's 39-acre recreational lake, and as Treasurer, helping to explore options and managing how potential corrective actions would impact Members' dues

>> In my role as the primary portfolio manager of a very large investment account, I am accustomed to making consequential decisions that involve significant uncertainty and large amounts of money

>> While I am not a lawyer, I have worked extensively with them to structure large financial deals and to negotiate (and litigate when necessary) contractual and corporate law disputes

>> Also very relevant to the CDD’s current situation, my professional work frequently involved understanding and dealing with intercompany guarantees, obligations, and liabilities

>> Other qualifications include direct experience with bond issuance, being fluent with financial statements and budgets, and familiarity with the general principles of HOA laws (such as the process for conducting orderly board meetings)

>> I mentioned my BS degree in Biochemistry as a “relevant education” item because I believe the required courses in chemistry, physics, and high-level mathematics amply prepared me to understand the true engineering issues related to Blue Lake's sea wall

>> Understanding fiduciary duty and avoiding conflicts of interest were fundamental to my work as a professional investor, and I believe that perspective would also be useful to the
Board

Thanks,
Matt Robbins
