Update Regarding Road Repairs

Mr. Ellis reported that road repairs were being completed in Gran Paradiso. There was a test patch installed on Prestigio Drive in August of 2020 that has been monitored through the wet season to see how it performed. The patch was deemed successful. The District received notice from Lennar that work was to begin January 4, 2022, and was completed January 6, 2022. Mr. Ellis was present at the beginning of the repairs. Also present during the course of the repairs were WVID Operations' Manager Mike Smith and the Universal Engineering, the firm who handles the District's Geotech work. Final clean-up is expected on January 13, 2022, and striping will occur approximately two weeks later in order to allow the asphalt to cure before a permanent thermal stripe is applied.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS

District Engineer

There was no additional District Engineer report at this time.

District Attorney
The legislative session occurred on Tuesday, January 11, 2022. The District boundary amendment was filed. An update regarding this progress will be provided at future meetings.

District Operations' Manager

It was reported that a new pump station would be installed at the public safety building, which is scheduled for January 25, 2022. Landscape enhancement behind the new public safety building is scheduled for some time in March. All expenses for that project will be paid from the Unit of Development #2 fund balance because this was a non-budgeted item. There was an onsite meeting with District staff and the Gran Paradiso Pond Committee on January 7, 2022, to discuss concerns regarding dry littoral shelves in stormwater retention ponds in Gran Paradiso.
District Manager
The next Regular Meeting is scheduled for February 10, 2022, and will include a Public Hearing on the District's Intent to Use the Uniform Method.
Mr. Crosley complimented Richard Ellis and Mike Smith for coordinating the oversight of Lennar performed road repairs with only a few days' notice that the project would begin.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS

Mr. Dobrin thanked District constituents for communicating with staff on the road repairs. In addition, Mr. Dobrin advised in Unit 3 there seems to be a heavily golf cart travelled area along the western boundary of Gran Paradiso that is creating a hardened pathway in the turf grass and asked if that could be looked at. Mr. Smith noted that plants were installed in the area being discussed, but they were not maintained by the POA; however, he will look into a recommendation in order to reduce golf cart traffic from using that area as access. Mr. Dobrin also indicated that he had experienced poor water quality with his potable water and noticed a brown color and low pressure and contacted the City of North Port as a homeowner, not as a District Supervisor.

Ms. Masney noted that residents can receive notifications from the City of North Port Utilities Department for any issues related to potable water by signing up for alerts on the City website.

Mr. Luczynski indicated that there had been issues related to trespassing on construction sites in the District even though those areas are clearly marked, gated and fenced in. Areas under construction are not intended for public access. This is a safety issue, and everyone is asked to

please respect the "No Trespassing" signs. The City of North Port Police Department is issuing trespass warnings and second offenders can be charged with a felony.

ADJOURNMENT

There being no further business to come before the Board, the Regular Board Meeting was adjourned at 12:10 p.m. on a MOTION made by Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Dobrin and passed unanimously.
