EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	District Manager's Report
Approval of Financial Statements

Approval of the Check Register

1. Counsel emphasized the potential for improved yields from funds allocated to the debt service account. The District may have the opportunity to earn interest or secure a slight discount once guidance is provided to the bondholders for investment.

There is a provision in the trust documents that permits bondholders to invest as they so choose, unless provided with explicit direction. Counsel believes that the District has the authority to direct the bondholder to invest in an account with a higher yield in order to maximize potential return.

Motion to approve the financial statements and check register.

On MOTION by Ms. Acireale, seconded by Mr. Alexander, with all in favor, unanimous approval was given to accept the financial statements and check register.

Power

	Balforn Tower Way - Duke completed their repairs and advised the issue was with our equipment. Sitex got an electrician to complete repairs, but were not aware the City must complete an inspection prior to Duke turning the power back on. Awaiting submittal of permits and inspection from City of Winter Garden.

Front pond - Sitex has confirmed this equipment as operational, and advises the breaker constantly trips, the manager advised he has called in a repair ticket and ask for assistance from Duke in determining what is connected to this breaker as it keep tripping.

How long has the District been paying for this electrical meter if there are non-District items using the power? The Board believes there is a simple solution of turning off the breaker and seeing what stops running in order to get an answer of what hidden items are connected to this.

Three new installations

	Manager and Sitex met with an engineer from Duke, Randy. Last update was that he was submitting the application for the new installations and would keep everyone in the loop.
It took a month for him to respond to requests and schedule a meeting
Mr. Glasscock suggest that he used to work for Duke and can assist in navigating the project and the approval process.

Brightview

No response from Brightview regarding an $8,000.00 credit for unsuccessful landscaping, which was installed at the suggestion of Brightview

Mr. Clark will compose a letter demanding the $8,000.00 credit.

Ms. Odom's Concerns - Additional Discussion

	Since the last meeting, someone has applied herbicides to kill aquatic plants. No one seems to know who applied this herbicide. Manager advised this is not uncommon and has seen residents apply chemicals on their own.

	She is considering replacing these plants; they are essential for midge control and maintaining the local ecosystem.

Ms. Odom introduced clams to the pond, which has yielded positive results in terms of algae and midge control.

The board expressed interest in a "pilot pond" project to introduce new aquatic plants, possibly in pond #7.

The manager noted that residents often have concerns about aquatic plants and may remove them.

	Ms. Odom proposed creating a YouTube video to educate the neighborhood about the importance of these plants.

Waterlilies will be installed by Sitex at no cost.

Brightview - Confirming Responsibility for Mowing

1. Confirm whether Brightview is falling behind on mowing, and ascertain if it's not due to the City of Winter Garden's actions.

ii. Regarding the pond on the Lake Avon corner - determine responsibility.

Mr. Glasscock explained that the City typically mows up to the power-line

poles and there may be confusion regarding the HOA/CDD responsibility beyond that point.
