SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Modifications to Agenda
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to modifications to the agenda.
Mr. Showe: We did make a modification a few days ago, which is under the Field Manager's Report. We will get to that on the agenda, but we have no other modifications.

TIDRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Security	Report	from	DSI	Security
Services
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the Security Report.
*Mr. Jaisingh joined the meeting at this time.
Ms. Cardwell: This month, at the gates, we had 5,231 residents and 25,345 guests for a total of 30,576. The Partin Settlement Road gate had a total of 20,926; 3,382 guests and 17,605 residents. The E. Lakeshore Boulevard gate had a total of9,653; 1,913 guests and 7,740 residents. There were 107 violations; 86 of which were for overnight parking.
Mr. Soukup: Are there any questions regarding the security report? Mr. Mehrlich: No.
Mr. Soukup: Okay, thank you for that.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Public Comment Period
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the Public Comment Period. Please state your name, address. Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail):'Ms. Cecilia Gonzalez and I live at 939
Tramells Trail.
Mr. Showe: Do you have any comments?
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Yes. Mr. Showe: This would be the time.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Okay. Excellent. Are you Jason?
Mr. Showe: Yes.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): I'm the one harassing you on the phone about the sticker. i had talked to a few of my neighbors and they're complaining about the same issue with the stickers at the Partin Settlement Road gate.
Mr. Showe: Okay.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): The stickers work at Fortune Road. Excellent. No problem, but they don't work at the Partin Settlement Road gate. I just heard the report and that sounds like big numbers to go through the Partin Settlement Road gates. It's the same issue with the sticker. No matter how many times the company that provides a service for the gate like you explained to me, they have come and fixed it. She is aware that many residents have very few.
Mr. Scheerer: We require people to change their sticker out and it seems to work very well.

Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): What if you pay for a new sticker? It's not my fault. I have not changed vehicle or lost it. If it works at that old game, the old machine, how come they cannot reprogram that gate at Partin Settlement, the same way it's reprogrammed at the other gate. Of course, no one comes to the meetings or to the website to get the address to send a check to rent the room. I see you taking care of some residents.
Ms. Caldwell: Some don't have stickers at all. Some are uber people. Some are guests.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): What do you think will be a better solution for the residents that do have the stickers that access the gate through Fortune Road?
Mr. Scheerer: We had the gate company spend an evening out here. The circumstances at Fortune Road and the way the operator faces, is different than the one at Partin Settlement Road. The conclusion that our access control Guardian Systems came up with, is the problem is with the sticker. Just because it works at one gate doesn't mean it's going to pick up the barcode at the one at Partin Settlement Road. I can't tell you how many calls a week that we were dealing with, but once we started with the evening observation by the gate company, the guy came in after hours, 7:00 p.m., he observed all of the vehicles. His recommendation, which seems to be working pretty well, is even though it's working here, if your sticker is X amount of years old, you need a new sticker. So, people need to purchase the new sticker. I don'_t know how many we've had. I haven't heard a complaint up until today from you. So, we're sorry you're going through that, but having the mechanic physically here and doing an observation after hours, to watch the vehicles, since that's been done, since residents have purchased new stickers, that seems to have corrected probably about 98% or so of the problems that we're having. So, that's what we got from the manufacturer and the people that do the gates. That's our recommendation to any residents. We've heard that E. Lakeshore works good or Fortune Road looks really good, but they're not working at Partin Settlement Road, but as soon as they changed the sticker, that was corrected.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Thank you.
Mr. Scheerer: Again, they face two different directions. So, depending on...
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): I have tried. My sticker is three years old.
It's not that old. It's my vehicle. I just got a new vehicle and of course I had to replace it.
Mr. Soukup: It gets stuff on it, if it sits outside.
Mr. Scheerer: Well, the other thing you can do too, is if there's an issue and you've already communicated with Jason, just give us your bar code number. Send us the number and then we

will get with the company and say, "Hey, are you finding this coming through here?" We did specialty visits.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): She was very generous. She uploaded it two times already.
Mr. Scheerer: Yeah, yeah.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): I feel guilty with the security people, because I come in late at night. Today is my day off. So, I'm early.
Mr. Scheerer: Right.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): The days that I'm off, I come in at 7:30
p.m. It doesn't work at night where there's no sunlight. The reader is also not working.
Mr. Scheerer: All we can tell you is the recommendation was to get a new barcode. Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): I'm going to go ahead and email them.
Let's give it another try.
Mr. Scheerer: Sure.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): I don't believe I should pay a $10 fee when they change that reader or fix the reader.
Mr. Scheerer: We didn't do anything with the reader other than maintenance to it. It's working 98% to 99% of the time.
Mr. Soukup: That entrance is a lot tighter than here.
Mr. Scheerer: It is a lot slower at Fortune Road, because people come in a little slower. They come in a little quicker on Partin Settlement Road, but I can't speak of that other than the fact that we had them out here. They went through and did their observation and the recommendation is, they need new sticker.
Ms. Caldwell: Yeah. On Monday and Thursday evening, I watch. Some people pull too far away this way. Some people are too close to it. So, you know, I try to explain and people just have to find their sweet spot.
Mr. Soukup: Right down the middle.
Mr. Scheerer: There's a double beam that comes off this thing in the shape of the V. Okay. You're also supposed to have your sticker applied to your car in a certain way. So, you should have received the directions on how to do that. As long as it's done like that, it should work. But

according to the manufacturer, according to the techs that work on the equipment, the overall consensus is if it's not working at one and it's working at the other, you need a new sticker.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Okay, well, in my household, we're three residents with three new stickers. What really bothers us and a few neighbors that don't come to the meeting, they don't complain, they don't call, they don't send emails, they just gossip between each other. It's the same thing, how come it works at Fortune Road and E. Lakeshore, but not at Parrin Settlement Road, when it used to work.
Mr. Soukup: I've had the same problem before, as my sticker got older. It always worked here and it wouldn't work at E. Lakeshore. That's always a tougher one, just because of how narrow that entrance is. There used to be only one lane in and they re-engineered it so we could get two lanes in there.
Mr. Scheerer: So rather than try to go through spending the money at first, just send the barcode numbers to us. We'll run them through the system and make sure th�t they are registered in that system, which they probably are. If that doesn't seem to. solve the problem, the next step would be to buy new stickers.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Can you see if they can re-program or do something?
Mr. Showe: We'll make sure they're in the system.
Mr. Brown: There are also clickers that you can buy that you can program. Mr. Scheerer: It's a ten-pin remote control.
Mr. Brown: If you wanted to get one of those, they could give you the program for it. Mr. Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): But the clickers were not on sale. Mr. Showe: We do not sell them.
Mr. Scheerer: You buy them yourself. Mr. Soukup: That's on the website too.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): On the CDD website?
Mr. Scheerer: Yeah, they stopped selling the remote controls years ago. So, if you just get one that has the 10 dip switches on it, we'll give you the setting and it should be able to work at either gate.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): My husband would like to have that.

Mr. Scheerer: Yeah, you'll have to research it. We don't have a source for where to buy them. You would have to go Amazon maybe. I don't know.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): So, any clicker will work. Mr. Scheerer: It's needs to have 300 megahertz and 10 dip switches on it. Mr. Mehrlich: It's available on Amazon.
Mr. Soukup: There you go.
Mr. Scheerer: We'll give you the settings and then you won't need the barcode.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): My husband wanted me to ask about the
clicker.
Mr. Showe: Yeah.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Because he has seen people with a clicker. Mr. Scheerer: Yep.
�esident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): But I told him like our neighbor has been here for 22 years ano he does have a clicker,.but its for the beginning of the neighborhood.
Mr. Showe: Yeah.
Mr. Brown: You can program them.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Okay. My last one is, I wanted to have a family event here. We pay the deposit for any damages or someone destroys something, which I understand is very reasonable. We have to take care of our property. That is the right way of doing
·it. The pool, are you guys planning to buy a table or more chairs? There are no plans to make improvements.
Mr. Scheerer: We just did 20 new chairs a couple years ago and four tables and 16 dining chairs. We don't have anything right now planned for it, but that's not to say that we can't.
Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): Okay. We don't use the facilities much, but we noticed that for such a big neighborhood, there were not enough chairs.
Mr. Scheerer: We can only fit so many on the pool deck. Mr. Soukup: It's 4 feet clear all the way around the pool.
Mr. Scheerer: So, we can only put so much out there without being in code violation. Resident (Cecilia Gonzalez, 939 Tramells Trail): That's it.
Mr. Showe: Thank you. Mr. Scheerer: Thank you.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	ApprovaJ of Minutes of the April 22, 2025,
Board of Supervisors Meeting
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the approval of the minutes of the April 22nd meeting. Are there any corrections?
Ms. Zaresk: I have none.

On MOTION by Ms. Zaresk seconded by Mr. Brown with all in favor the Minutes of the April 22, 2025 Board of Supervisors Meeting were approved as presented.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration of DSI Security Services
Rate Increase
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the consideration ofDSI security rate increase.
Mr. Showe: Yeah. So, we received this right at the s�me date as your last meeting. It's about a $1.50 increase per hour for all of the different guards. Their last increase was in 2023. So, it's probably reasonable with the current environmenL If the Board were inclined to move forward, we would have Scott go ahead and draft up a new contract for them, that would cover these amounts and then we would go forward with it. But we just wanted to see if you guys were okay with that.
Mr. Soukup: I think in two years' time that's reasonable.
Mr. Showe: Yeah. Just so you know, we had the budget rerun with these numbers, just to make sure, so that it doesn't have an impact on your assessments.
Mr. Scheerer: Yeah.
Mr. Showe: So, is there a motion to go ahead with that? We'll have staff draft up the contract.

On MOTION by Ms. Zaresk seconded by Mr. Brown with all in favor the DSI Security Services Rate Increase of $1.50 per hour was approved.

Mr. Showe: Perfect. We'll get with Scott and have him draft that contract up. Mr. Clark: I'll take care of it.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Presentation of Fiscal Year 2024 Financial
Audit Report
Mr. Soukup: Next is the Fiscal Year 2024 financial audit report.
Mr. Showe: Sure. You have your fiscal year 2024 audit. We presented that to you. As always, I go to the last few pages, which is the Report to Management. These are the items that they are required by Florida Statutes to audit and the terms that they have to look at. We will note that there are no prior year findings, no current year findings and we're in compliance with everything. We did not meet any financial deteriorating condition standards, which is good. So, for all intents and purposes, it's a clean audit. We sent it to Scott for any comments that he had. We believe it's in final form at this stage. If the Board has any questions, we can take those or we would look for a motion to accept the audit.
Mr. Soukup: Are any questions regarding the 2024 audit? Mr. Mehrlich: No.

On MOTION by Mr. Brown seconde·d by Ms. Zaresk with all in favor the Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Audit was accepted.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to Staff Reports. Mr. Showe: We'll start with Scott.
Mr. Clark: Yeah. Just one thing for me. I noted since our last meeting that the CDD had a suit filed against it, related to an alleged personal injury on the balance board on the fitness trail. We've been in touch with our carrier and they've assigned counsel to it, as they usually do. So, they will take care of the defense of it and be responsible for a claim if one arises, if there's an award in the lawsuit or they'll settle it, whatever they decide to do. So, no worries on that. I just wanted to make you aware of it. That was the only thing I had to report.
Ms. Zaresk: Can I get some clarification? Was that over a year or so ago?
Mr. Showe: So, not to get too far into the weeds, yes, the insurance company actually already had a claim. The problem that we had, is when the attorney that was in charge of the other side, they noticed the wrong party with the issue. So, our office actually never got it. It went to another party.

Ms. Zaresk: Okay.
Mr. Showe: When we got notice of it, we were able to get it back to our insurance and they were able to clear it all out. But yes, it's the same one from about a year ago.
Ms. Zaresk: Alright.
Mr. Clark: I actually noticed when the audit was submitted, because the auditor sends me a letter every year, to ask whether I'm aware of any claims, that prompts me to do some due diligence searching. I looked on the court docket and found this and then we got in touch with our insurance company and their counsel and they're on top of it.
Mr. Soukup: Perfect. Is that it? Mr. Scheerer: That's it for me.

Engineer
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the engineer. Pete?
Mr. Glasscock: I did not have anything to report, but if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
Mr. Brown: Can you go down by Partin Settlement Road and make sure our stormwater inlet is not completely full of silt? Because it looks like it might be.
Mr. Glasscock: Partin Settlement?
Mr. Scheerer: Where the road construction is going on. Mr. Brown: There is a ton of dirt from that.
Mr. Glasscock: Yes, I can go down there and see what I can see. Mr. Scheerer: I talked to that Project Manager.
Mr. Glasscock: We had a bunch of rain here this week. Was there any flooding at all? Mr. Brown: I wasn't here.
Mr. Glasscock: Okay.
Ms. Zaresk: It was a 20-minute micro burst. There was lots of hail.
Mr. Brown: When I got home, all of the leaves that I hadn't raked up, were soaked. But there's no silt fence down there or anything on the construction site.
Mr. Glasscock: Yeah, I will take a look at that tomorrow and let Jason know. What I would say, though, is once they're nearing completion, it would probably behoove us to go to the first

inlet downstream and have somebody pull them up and lift them and just look at them, before the contractor actually leaves.
Ms. Zaresk: Yeah, definitely. What is the schedule for starting the curbing? I know we're going to do some portions of it.
Mr. Glasscock: Well, they have the curb down on the westbound lanes. Ms. Zaresk: That's over there.
Mr. Showe: Are you talking about ours? Mr. Glasscock: We're not on that side yet.
Ms. Zaresk: Oh, okay. So, we don't have a set date for that project to start. Mr. Glasscock: We were looking at the 27th or 28th.
Ms. Zaresk: Oh, okay.
Mr. Glasscock: We're kind of looking at it, but I haven't seen anything concrete. Ms. Zaresk: Okay, I'm good with that. Thank you.

District Manager's Report
Approval of Check Register
Mr. Soukup: That brings us to the District Manager's Report.
Mr. Showe: Sure. We will start with the approval of your Check Register. In the General Fund, we have Checks #7566 through #7585, Capital Reserve Checks #144 and 145 and payroll for March and April, for a grand total of $110,561.95. A summary of those invoices was included and Alan and I can take any questions you might have or we can take a motion to approve.
Mr. Soukup: Are there any questions? Hearing none, we need a motion for approval.

On MOTION by Mr. Brown seconded by Ms. Zaresk with all in favor the April 16, 2025 through May 19, 2025 Check Register in the amount of $110,561.95 was approved.

Balance Sheet and Income Statement
Mr. Showe: Behind that is your Balance Sheet and Income Statement. No action is required by the Board. We are doing better than budget actuals, so we're in good shape there. We're also at 95% collected on our assessments, so we're in excellent shape there as well.

Presentation of OCSO Reports
Mr. Showe: We have your off-duty officer reports that are included.

Presentation of Registered Voters
Mr. Showe: Every year we are required to announce the number of registered voters. As of April 15th, there are 3,080 registered voters in the District, which is 200 more than last year.

Reminder of Form 1 Filing Deadline-July 1st
Mr. Showe: I also want to remind all of the Board Members, you should have received emails on your Form 1, which is due on July pt_ If you have any challenges or need some assistance, let us know. We'll try to direct you in the right way. But it's all through the Department of Ethics portal again this year.
Ms. Zaresk: We wouldn't have gotten that if we've already completed it, right?
Mr. Showe: Correct. They don't start fining until September 1st. So obviously on July 1st we start looking at all of our Boards to make sure everyone submitted theirs. So, we'll keep following up if there are any issues. That's all we have.

Field Manager's Report
Mr. Showe: We can go to Alan's Field Manager's Report.
Mr. Scheerer: Just really quick, I have some updates in the field, before we get to the item that was added. The Amenity Center is in good shape. The Fitness Center is in good shape. We did have a somebody say that the treadmill wasn't working and it turned out the breaker tripped. So, we went ahead and reset the breaker. It's working fine. The gates are in good shape. We are tightening down gate arms and wiping down cameras. We did spray down the E. Lakeshore and Partin Settlement guard house for bugs. We had some concerns with that. We continue to meet with the landscaper on a regular basis with irrigation repairs and inspections ongoing. Club Villas was the latest to receive a renovation. I think it turned out really good.
Ms. Zaresk: It did.
Mr. Scheerer: We are going to be waiting for the final numbers to come in and then we'll see what's left and move on. Probably the next one for me is going to be the Somerset entrance, where we have multiple old Holly trees to get those Hollies removed. Then we will just continue to work on the rest of the neighborhoods as the financing is available. We also modified some of

the lights, put in a little bigger light, to try to get to the Club Villa sign .itself. So, we're doing that. New annuals were installed. All of the fitness equipment seems to be in good shape. The date now for the entry gate is June 6th. There's a meeting with OUC and Terry's Electric to open the transformer and hopefully make that connection finally. So, we're hoping to get that. Once that's done, then we'll start working on the remaining landscape lights. As you exit E. Lakeshore or Fortune Road on the right side, there are three rather old Ligustrum trees that are really just encroaching now. As part of the renovation, we're going to remove those. We'll have to come up with something different. As you know, all of the Palm trees in there had died, because of either old age or Fusarium Wilt, which is that disease that there's no cure for the Palm trees. So, we'll try to see what kind of modifications we can make to that, fmancing available. You've probably seen the sidewalk guys out here. They're grinding and replacing sidewalks. In advance of Memorial Day, we had flags at both entrances replaced, the basketball nets done and the volleyball net adjusted. We tried to level it out as best we can. Are there any questions on that?
Ms. Zaresk: How many baskets have we replaced this year?
Mr. Scheerer: Not that many. We'll see how it comes with Summertime. The kids are going to be out of school, so I expect the courts will get used quite a bit more than what they're getting now. Tim, you had a question?
Mr. Jaisingh: Everything looks great. There is a void by Ms. Patrick's house. I would like to see something going into that one spot, just to complete it.
Mr. Scheerer: Yes, sir. I know what you're talking about. We'll go ahead and add another bush or shrub there. Tim, you had something?
Mr. Mehrlich: No, I'll talk about it next month. Mr. Soukup: Okay.
Mr. Brown: When you open the transformer, is OUC also going to put in a meter?
Mr. Scheerer: The meter is not in there. We have to get the transformer and get it all connected. Then they can install the meter.
Mr. Brown: Alright.
Mr. Scheerer: That would be the second step. We should be ready to go. We have brand new meter boxes.
Mr. Glasscock: They usually do it at the same time. Mr. Scheerer: Do they?

Mr. Glasscock: They will make the connection, if they've already done it. Usually, it's ready to go.
Mr. Scheerer: As far as I know, everything is ready to be tied in. So, hopefully they will put the meter in right after that. I need to get that information.

Discussion of Removal of Tree in 103 Harwood Right of Way
Mr. Scheerer: On the agenda is an item that was requested to be added by Mr. Brown. So, if he wants to go ahead and introduce that, the information is in your agenda package along with some pricing and some photos or a photo.
Mr. Brown: Yeah. So that tree is, in my estimation, dead. I was asked if the CDD would take that out before it becomes a nuisance or becomes a problem with storms, by another resident in here, who happens to work for the county. In this case, I don't disagree with them. I don't agree that we should take maintenance and maintain trees for people. But when they die and are about
to become a problem and it's our property, then I kind of see that as potentially having some
.	.
liability on us. I don't know, maybe the attorney can speak to that. Maybe there's not any. But I
didn't disagree with them when they asked, in this case.
Mr. Soukup: My question on it is, what happens when it's an HOA requirement to have to have a tree there? Is it our responsibility to put one back? Does that mean we automatically took over ownership of that and any other property.
Mr. Scheerer: I'm not going to want to get in the middle of this, because this is clearly a residential Board decision. But several years ago, the HOA President came to this meeting and said that the CCNRs were modified to take the responsibility away from the HOA, not the homeowner and they place the responsibility for all maintenance on the trees, to the individual lot owner.
Mr. Soukup: Right. Tim, is that still a requirement for the HOA to have to have that tree in the easement there?
Mr. Clark: Once you do one of them, you kind of jump into an area that's not your responsibility. What happens to the next one and the next one and the next one?
Mr. Soukup: Right.
Ms. Zaresk: Maybe, Scott, you can enlighten me a little, but I'm still baffled as to why this tree has anything to do with us.

Mr. Mehrlich: The HOAs are trying to pass through their attorney, some sort of an amendment or change to the bylaws, to where you can remove a tree and you don't have to put it back. However, the way they're written now, if you remove a tree, you have to put it back, but they're not enforcing that. This came about because they've been cutting quite a few trees down in Westmoreland Circle and they're not putting them back up. I don't know why they can do selective enforcement of the rules and regulations. That doesn't seem right to me. But there's something going on with the HOA right now, where they are trying to throw the tree back on us, because they don't feel like they should be responsible for something that's in a piece of property that they don't own. I have a lot of mixed feelings, but I'm the tree guy, obviously. The community was built on being a community full of trees. I'm not crazy about taking them out, but I do understand what it's doing to that right-of-way (ROW) there.
Mr. Glasscock: Those trees are put in as a requirement to the development. So, they're there
by requirement. There is a count that says you're compliant. Now, once you get your COs and all that stuff and Sco.tt can jum. p in here too, but that was a requirement for the development. I would
think that if it is taken down or if it dies, it should be replaced. Personally, I hate them because I see what they're doing to our roads. But it is a requirement in all of the developments, not just yours. Every development has to put in X amount of trees and this is where they put them. Scott can jump in here too. But I would think that if it's taken down, it has to be replaced.
Ms. Zaresk: But I'm still confused as to how that happens. Is what you're basically saying to us is, because that's the development, then that tree, its removal, whatever, becomes our responsibility?
Mr. Glasscock: Here's where it gets into Scott's territory, technically, because it's in a ROW, it's our tree. But the CDD has placed that onus of maintaining the care of that tree and that grass in that area, on the owner.
Mr. Showe: Correct. Ms. Zaresk: Okay.
Mr. Glasscock: But now you kind of get into a legal issue of who has the responsibility, but as far as the development goes, the tree had to be there on a certain count of trees and therefore it should be maintained.
Ms. Zaresk: Yeah, I got that. I mean, you got an X amount of requirement for green space.
But I'm getting confused as who really is responsible for this tree.

Mr. Showe: I think right now, the responsibility, as we understand it, falls to the homeowner. This had been asked as a request of a Board Member as a special exemption to that.
Ms. Zaresk: Okay.
Mr. Brown: Yeah. Similar to what Mr. Jaisingh has talked about, where we read a buffer from someone.
Mr. Scheerer: What's our buffer? It's a little different there, I think.
Mr. Brown: I would argue that it's our tree and they just have maintenance of it.
Mr. Scheerer: It's none of my concern, which I would vote one way or the other, but us removing it or him removing it, which is, from what I'm hearing, is his responsibility. I don't see what the difference is. Why he just doesn't cut it down. Like what Mr. Mehrlich said, there are several trees in Westmoreland that have been removed. So, somebody took the responsibility to remove the trees in that neighborhood. But whatever you all decide, is what we'll do. Also included in your agenda package...
Ms. Zaresk: It's hugely expensive.
Mr. Scheerer: There's a cost estimate to just remove the tree. stump grind it and replace the sod. Anything from what I'm seeing in the photo, just so you know, if the Board chooses to do anything with it, there's electrical in and around that tree. There are two landscape lights. There is gravel and there's brick. So, whatever would happen there, if you choose to do any of these, then all of those would have to be removed, not, I would think, by the homeowner. So, it's $1,400 just to do that. But what the engineer is saying, if we need to replace the tree, just a thick three- and three-and-a-half-inch caliper is $950 for a 100-gallon tree. So, it's $2,200 to remove, stump grind and install a new tree.
Mr. Brown: I thought you meant $2,200 for the new tree.
Mr. Scheerer: No. It's in your agenda. So, does that mean we're now responsible to replace the tree, because we took the other one out and replaced it?
Mr. Soukup: Scott can tell us for sure. I don't think we own it at that point. Mr. Scheerer: I just go back to the CCNRs.
Mr. Clark: I just can't see why you would take this on. I'll tell you. I've got a District full of Oak trees like this that are more mature and we have a situation where they were planted too close to the storm drains and they're about to cause problems to where it would cost maybe
$100,000 per storm drain, in that situation.

Mr. Scheerer: Yeah.
Mr. Clark: The District is kind of compelled to do something about it, but otherwise we wouldn't dream of jumping into a problem that's not really ours, because if you do one, then they want you to do them all and suddenly you own the issue.
Mr. Jaisingh: I agree. I am completely against it. Mr. Mehrlich: I'm against it.
Mr. Showe: Is anyone willing to make a motion? If there's no motion to do anything, then it sounds like we discussed the issue.
Mr. Soukup: Right.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisor's Requests
Mr. Showe: That brings us to Supervisor's Requests.
Mr. Brown: I don't have anything other than what I asked Peter earlier about the storm

drains.

Mr. Glasscock: I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Mr. Scheerer: Look at it on the way out.
Mr. Soukup: Ms. Zaresk?
Ms. Zaresk: I do have a question about the entrance decals. If that decal isn't working, but

it's legitimate and they haven't done anything, I'm a little confused as to why they have to buy a new one.
Mr. Showe: So, the policy that the District has, is you get your first two for free. So, every resident who moves in gets two for free.
Ms. Zaresk: Okay.
Mr. Showe: They can have up to four. So, if they buy two more, it's $10 each. Then any replacements are $10 each. That's just the cost that the District is paying for that sticker.
Ms. Zaresk: Well, I don't think it's an outrageous amount.
Mr. Soukup: Yeah, it's been the same price, I think, since 2006.
Ms. Zaresk: No, the price is fine. I'm not terribly worried about that. But the idea of the fact that the lack of it working, I guess ifl'm the resident, which I'm not, because I don't use them, I have a clicker, but I guess I kind of am feeling like, well, "Gee, I bought it. I didn't do anything to it. I didn't do anything to abuse it and now all of a sudden, the equipment is not picking it up. "

Mr. Scheerer: I can only share with you what transpired with the night visit from the service.
Ms. Zaresk: I hear all of that.
Mr. Scheerer: The recommendation seems to have worked.
Ms. Zaresk: That's what I'm getting at. I get that. I'm not questioning the fact that a new one needs to be issued, but the reason for a new one being issued, is not as the result of anything that the resident or owner did or didn't do. I guess I'm struggling a little bit with having to buy a new·one through no fault ofmy own.
Mr. Showe: Certainly, if it's the Board's inclination. I mean, we could...
Ms. Zaresk: I'm sorry to bring it now, but what I would like to do, after you guys run this through, let's see where it stands. I'd like to ask again next meeting after we get that.
Mr. Showe: I mean, part of the challenge with the barcodes, is that they're outside the vehicle. So, if you go through a car wash, it's going to wear it down a little bit. If there's weather, it's going to wear it down a little bit. The way the sun is on it when you rark, is going to wear the barcode down. I mean, they are a finite device. It's very similar to when you go through Publix with your barcode. That's the way I equate it. Sometimes you have a clean barcode or the lady has to scan it a couple times, to get it to go through. It's just kind of the nature.
Mr. Soukup: Barcodes can be in extremely bad shape and still work, just because of how the lane is.
Ms. Zaresk: Alright. That was my only question. If you all don't mind. Mr. Showe: Absolutely.
Mr. Scheerer: We'll make sure that they're registered at each gate. Mr. Soukup: Mr. Mehrlich?
Mr. Mehrlich: I'm all good. Thank you. Mr. Soukup: Mr. Jaisingh?
Mr. Scheerer: I'm all good. Mr. Soukup: Okay.
Mr. Brown: Just out of curiosity, have we ever looked to see if there is a different company that makes a more weatherproofbarcode than the ones we had?
Mr. Scheerer: They're a pretty standard barcode, but I'll ask the question.

Mr. Showe: The other challenge you have is, there are other systems out there that we use at other properties, but to roll those out, you're going to have to buy another 3,000 of those. Those are $20 each. The equipment change out could be quite significant.
Mr. Brown: Somebody might just make one that has a little longer life cycle than the ones we get, but maybe not. I don't know.
Mr. Scheerer: I don't know. I don't know what the average is of the people that had the barcodes on their vehicles. We just went through the exercise. That's the information security has been provided and it seems to be working.
Ms. Zaresk: Thank you.
Mr. Soukup: The only thing that I saw, was on the right side as you're going towards Partin Settlement Road between Knightsbridge and Westmoreland, that storm drain was backed up.
Mr. Scheerer: Yeah, I got that.
