30	FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS	Call to Order and Roll Call	
31	Mr. LeMenager called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.	
32	Mr. LeMenager called the roll and indicated a quorum was present for the meeting.	
33	Ms. Phillips was not present at roll call.	
34		
35	SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments	
36	Mr. LeMenager indicated a three-minute time limit for comments. It is not a question-and-	
37	answer period. Residents may email Board members with questions.	
38	Mr. Joe Janeczek commented on Resolution 2024-02 and two names he did not recognize, and	
39	requested information on who Mr. Neal and Mr. Stephen Bloom are. He suggested another	
40	assessment methodology that should be considered, which is using Osceola County (“County”)	
41	home assessments based on values. He asked for clarification regarding work to be done for	
42	Blazing Star Lane alley, commented on the prices provided, suggested Mr. Hamstra look at other	
43	alternatives, and recommended waiting to do this work for six to 12 months. Regarding the budget	
44	process, Mr. Janeczek commented assessments have increased about 43% over the past two years	

	March 28, 2024	
	Harmony CDD	
45	and would like to see an increase at the inflation rate of 3% to 4%. Last year’s $350,000 increase	
46	was for the new maintenance facility that was not built and is still available, and another $350,000	
47	this year could go for purchase of the golf facility.	
48		
49	THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports	
50	A. Landscaping: Benchmark Landscaping/United Land Services (“Benchmark”)	
51	Mr. Lomasney reviewed work efforts, and discussed items with the Board, including trees are	
52	ongoing, and vehicles have impeded some trimming and Benchmark will go back to complete.	
53	Leaf cleanup is ongoing, and leaves should be done falling. Crews will aerate turf and address tree	
54	rings and flower beds. Tree removals for proposal #81428 approved February 29 were completed	
55	this week. Two were done today and the stumps were ground. Annuals are scheduled for May but	
56	can be done in April upon consultation with Ms. Kassel as to what is available. Turf is being	
57	mowed bi-weekly. Irrigation repairs and inspections continue. Beginning April, mowing will	
58	probably begin weekly depending on rainfall.	
59	Discussion ensued regarding work to be done in the verges—fertilizing, weeding, resodding—	
60	which will begin next week and be complete in April with irrigation reviews and repairs.	
61	Ms. Kassel discussed some small diameter trees in the courtyards, which are not included in	
62	the proposals below but will be provided at a later date.	
63	i.  Proposal #81424 for Tree Removal on Blue Stem	
64	Mr. Lomasney reviewed proposal #81424 for three tree removals on Blue Stem.	
65	Mr. Chokanis requested pictures in the proposal. Pictures may have been provided in previous	
66	field reports, but it is hard to match with current proposals. Mr. Lomasney will include the proposal	
67	numbers on the report. The trees are leaning but do not pose a safety issue over sidewalks.	
68	This proposal was tabled.	
69	ii.  Proposal #81431 for Tree Elevation Along U.S. Hwy 192	
70	Mr. Lomasney reviewed proposal #81431 for tree elevation along U.S. Hwy 192.	
71	Discussion ensued regarding concerns about the fence as well as foliage around the trees that	
72	may be impacted by not lifting the trees. The branches are lower than three feet. The right side has	
73	a viburnum hedge and bahia sod. The left side has branches a little higher, but it is starting to thin	
74	the bahia. Not lifting the branches to allow sunlight might lead to washouts and dead vegetation.	
75	Ms. Kassel commented on other landscaping projects and is concerned about spending $6,000 for	
76	this work.	
77	Further discussion ensued regarding concerns over having washouts, and branches will scratch	
78	vehicles parking near the trees. Mr. Chokanis requested pictures of the trees on both sides. Mr.	

March 28, 2024 Harmony CDD

79	Leet asked if a number fewer than 16 could be trimmed, and the west side of the west entrance is	
80	the priority. Mr. Leet also requested a map or location to be noted on the proposal.	
81	The record will reflect Ms. Phillips joined the meeting.	
82	iii.  Proposal #87858 for Sycamore Tree Replacement	
83	Mr. Lomasney reviewed proposal #87858 for sycamore tree replacement.	
84		
85	Ms. Kassel made a MOTION to approve proposal #87858 from	
86	Benchmark Landscaping/United Land Service for sycamore tree	
87	replacement, in the amount of $459.13.	
88	Mr. Leet seconded the motion.	
89		
90	Upon VOICE VOTE, with all in favor, unanimous approval was	
91	given to proposal #87858 from Benchmark Landscaping/United	
92	Land Service for sycamore tree replacement, in the amount of	
93	$459.13.	
94		
95	iv.  Proposal #87866 for Leaf Removal on Verges	
96	Mr. LeMenager asked what makes up 480 hours to remove the leaves. Mr. Lomasney indicated	
97	it would take a month for a whole crew. The leaves would be raked, blown, picked up by hand,	
98	and then disposed at the dump. Mr. LeMenager suggested renting an attachment for a mower, but	
99	mowers cannot get in due to parking and trees, which is the current situation. Mr. Chokanis	
100	clarified the proposal is for collecting leaves on the main boulevards on residential properties.	
101	Equipment would only get maybe 30% with the rest done by hand. Ms. Kassel indicated she had	
102	ten bags on her property with another ten to go. Mr. Lomasney further clarified they estimated two	
103	or three trips to the dump per day. If the Board approves the proposal but it only took three weeks	
104	instead of four, those crews could be put to use elsewhere in the community. This would be a one-	
105	time cost. Work would begin April 1 and last for a month.	
106	After a brief discussion, the Board is not interested in moving forward with this proposal.	
107	This proposal has been tabled indefinitely.	
108	v.  Miscellaneous	
109	Ms. Kassel mentioned the improvements at Buck Lake Park and Harmony Square are finished.	
110	Mr. Lomasney will follow up with Ms. Kassel regarding the irrigation on Harmony Square that	
111	was not modified enough for that area.	
112	Mr. Lomasney indicated they audited all the pocket parks at the end of last year, and suggested	
113	the dog park on Cat Brier Trail be the next priority. Ms. Kassel will discuss further locations and	
114	priorities with Mr. Lomasney.	

March 28, 2024 Harmony CDD

115	Mr. Chokanis expressed thanks for Benchmark’s hard work, and discussed the park at	
116	Middlebrook Place cul-de-sac where the grass is destroyed and has ants. Ms. Kassel asked why	
117	the grass is destroyed, if it is foot traffic or lack of irrigation. That area is bahia, so it is not irrigated.	
118	Ms. Kassel suggested treating it for ants and mulching the area, to which Mr. Chokanis agreed.	
119	Mr. Leet asked for clarification of the area to be sure it is the District’s responsibility. Mr.	
120	Lomasney indicated they are treating some of the beds, and will target spray to kill massive	
121	mounds. He can provide a proposal to use TopChoice at the playgrounds, similar to what was done	
122	at Buck Lake Park.	
123	Mr. Chokanis commented on the flower beds on Five Oaks Drive at the roundabouts and	
124	suggested doing a plastic border around the perimeter to keep the mulch contained, help with weed	
125	control, and look cleaner. Mr. Lomasney will provide a proposal.	
126	B. Field Manager: Inframark	
127	i.  Monthly Report	
128	Mr. Baez reviewed the landscaping report and discussed the east tower painting will be done	
129	next week, with equipment to be rented.	
130	ii.  Pontoon Boat Seats, Boat Console	
131	Discussion ensued regarding proposals received at the meeting for upholstery work on the	
132	boats, including seats and a console, and some repairs on the Sun Tracker.	
133		
134	Ms. Kassel made a MOTION to approve the proposals from J&M	
135	Upholstery and Supplies for upholstery work on boat #1 in the	
136	amount of $3,000, boat #2 in the amount of $800, and boat #4 in the	
137	amount of $350, in the total amount of $4,150, subject to the	
138	materials being marine-grade upholstery.	
139	Mr. Leet seconded the motion.	
140
141	
Discussion ensued regarding the removal fee of $500 listed on two proposals does not apply,	
142	and the vendor said those could be removed.	
143		
144	Upon VOICE VOTE, with all in favor, unanimous approval was	
145	given to the proposals from J&M Upholstery and Supplies for	
146	upholstery work on boat #1 in the amount of $3,000, boat #2 in the	
147	amount of $800, and boat #4 in the amount of $350, in the total	
148	amount of $4,150, subject to the materials being marine-grade	
149	upholstery.	
150
151	
Discussion ensued regarding the option to reconsider all proposals if J&M Upholstery and	
152	Supplies does not provide marine-grade material.

154	iii.  Splash Pad and Pools	
155	Mr. Baez provided an update on the splash pad. The motor broke and was replaced with a new	
156	one. They added new equipment for the chlorine, but staff still has to empty the tank and clean it.	
157	Staff is still looking for a quote for the computer and has contacted several vendors. Ms. Kassel	
158	expressed concern over the delay in getting the splash pad operational with summer coming soon,	
159	and feels a company as large as Inframark ought to have brought multiple quotes for replacing the	
160	computer months ago. Mr. Chokanis asked to be shown how to turn it on and off. The water still	
161	will not dance, but it can run several hours a day. Mr. Baez offered to turn it on at 7:00 a.m. Mr.	
162	LeMenager and Mr. Leet asked if the splash pad could run continuously, which would lead to	
163	higher electricity use, more wear and tear, and nearby neighbors maybe not wanting to hear it	
164	running 24/7. Mr. LeMenager suggested doing as Mr. Baez suggested, turning it on at 7:00 a.m.	
165	and off when he leaves for the day. Ms. Phillips suggested it can run longer than when field staff	
166	leaves and is willing to also learn how to turn it off. Ms. Phillips discussed the fountain in	
167	Celebration that had similar issues, and they replaced the system because parts are unavailable.	
168	Ms. Kassel is unclear what the issue is with the computer, whether parts are not available or	
169	companies do not provide this service.	
170	Mr. Leet discussed an issue with the pool being cloudy. Mr. Baez commented it was closed for	
171	one day for cleaning. The heater is working fine. Mr. Baez is getting quotes for motors for the	
172	Swim Club, which typically last three or four years. Discussion ensued regarding if the motors are	
173	still under warranty or have a service contract, which staff will investigate.	
174	C. District Engineer: Pegasus	
175	i.  Final Decision for the Blazing Star Lane Alley Repairs (Tracts AC-6 and AC-7)	
176	Mr. Hamstra requested direction for Blazing Star Lane alley repairs and asked if a response	
177	was received from Waste Management’s insurance carrier about contributing to the cost. Mr. Neal	
178	has followed up with them, but no response received. The contractor is willing to hold the bid 30	
179	more days, which is today. Mr. Hamstra explained options regarding the bid: deny it, accept it,	
180	rebid at a later date.	
181	Discussion ensued regarding location of repair, which is at the corner of the intersection. Ms.	
182	Kassel asked if there were options other than $88,000, and Mr. Hamstra explained band-aid	
183	solutions that will last maybe a couple weeks. Mr. Leet referenced the reserve study which shows	
184	doing that alley in 2026, and suggested it might make more sense cost-wise to do the corner when	
185	repaving the alley, which might cost $600,000 and would absorb the corner. Mr. Leet suggested a	
186	short-term band-aid approach for now, and schedule full alley re-mill and overlay in the next two	
187	to five years. Mr. Chokanis and Mr. LeMenager agreed with a short-term solution until the alley	

	March 28, 2024	
	Harmony CDD	
188	is scheduled for repaving. Mr. Hamstra will work with Inframark on a quote for repair. The price	
189	was below the bidding threshold, so no motion is needed to deny the proposal, and Mr. Hamstra	
190	can notify them informally.	
191	Ms. Kassel asked why such a large disparity between the engineer’s estimate and contractor’s	
192	price. Mr. Hamstra explained the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) provides databases and	
193	unit counts, which the engineer adjusts based on the size of the project. Unfortunately, pricing is	
194	more of a guessing game, post covid. Mr. Hamstra’s team has a methodology in place and uses the	
195	DOT database and recent bids as well as adjustments for small-scale projects and contingencies.	
196	Smaller projects have been priced outrageously high. Mr. Chokanis asked if Mr. Hamstra grades	
197	various suppliers on how well they do their job and how they bid the work. Mr. Hamstra suggested	
198	larger projects with a lot of line items may attract more bidders and allow room to hide their profit.	
199	Smaller projects have fewer places for them to hide their profit. Some contractors are too busy so	
200	they may decline or guess at a number instead of spending time on a proposal. This work was	
201	outside Jr. Davis’s comfort zone.	
202	ii.  Lakefront Park Community Maintenance Facility Update	
203	Mr. Hamstra indicated the County reported the District will need to re-establish a new address	
204	for electricity, phone land line, and dumpster. While the Board considers the golf course facility	
205	option, Mr. Hamstra can continue with the Buck Lake location to get the project submitted and	
206	keep it moving.	
207	The Board agreed to move both projects in parallel.	
208	iii.  Ponds at Middlebrook Place	
209	Mr. Hamstra reviewed the ponds at Middlebrook Place that are on golf course property, which	
210	was an issue raised by Mr. Chokanis. Mr. Hamstra reviewed the plat and South Florida Water	
211	Management District (“SFWMD”) permit, which show the District is to maintain those ponds. Mr.	
212	Hamstra directed Inframark staff to address the north pond with the extensive cattail growth.	
213	iv.  Inspections	
214	Mr. Hamstra mentioned he will be performing inspections of the alleys and stormwater ponds,	
215	for structure and cattail growth, which will be discussed at the April budget workshop and the	
216	priority level and timing to address.	
217	v.  Ponds	
218	Ms. Kassel asked if the reserve study addresses a frequency to clean out the ponds, knowing	
219	leaves and debris often go down the storm drains. Mr. Hamstra indicated it is more a water quality	
220	concern and has nothing to do with flooding. Most communities will go 20 or 25 years before	
221	dredging because it is very costly. Ponds average six to eight feet deep, and a bathymetric survey	

	March 28, 2024	
	Harmony CDD	
222	can be done to see how much was compromised, but it is all below the water level. The work done	
223	by Element Environmental was debris stuck in the pipe versus accumulation on the pond bottom.	
224	Pipes can be blown out every couple years. Mr. Leet referenced a drainage repair allowance in the	
225	reserve study and commented the recent clearing of the pipes has worked really well. Ms. Kassel	
226	asked if other areas need the same treatment, but Mr. Hamstra has only heard of three areas that	
227	flooded: Cat Brier Trail, Five Oaks Drive, and the Estates. The flooding in the Estates was in the	
228	backyards. Ms. Kassel noted some of the ponds are 20 years old and asked if the Board needed to	
229	start thinking about adding dredging to the reserves. Mr. Hamstra suggested doing a bathymetric	
230	survey to see if the ponds have filled up a lot, which can be added to the budget for about $2,000	
231	per pond. Mr. Leet mentioned a pond by Feathergrass that was not dug deep enough. Ms. Kassel	
232	discussed Long Pond that is narrow in places and looks like vegetation is thickening up, and she	
233	expressed concern it will be clogged in a year or two. Mr. Hamstra will walk around it. Mr.	
234	LeMenager indicated Long Pond is extremely deep, but Ms. Kassel indicated not at the pedestrian	
235	bridges where it is narrow, which are the problem areas.	
236	D. District Counsel: Kutak Rock	
237	Mr. Eckert reported things have been pretty quiet. He agrees it is wise to start looking at	
238	methodologies, and will review once Inframark provides options. One piece of legislation that	
239	passed requires all special districts to come up with performance standards, goals and objectives,	
240	as well as performance criteria, to figure out if you have met those goals or objectives, and provide	
241	a report every year whether or not you have met your goals and objectives. Once the governor	
242	signs it, the first one will be due October 2024 and will be an annual requirement. Inframark may	
243	have ideas, and Mr. Eckert can assist in that effort if needed.	
244	Mr. Leet asked if it is a self assessment, and Mr. Eckert indicated it is internal. The Board will	
245	approve the goals and performance measures, and the Board will evaluate if it has met those, with	
246	the assistance of the District Manager. Mr. LeMenager suggested Inframark will have a boilerplate	
247	that they can apply to most of the districts they manage, which Ms. Goldyn confirmed.	
248	Mr. Leet discussed the mandatory ethics training and asked what the deadline is. Ms. Kassel	
249	indicated December 31, 2024, which Mr. Eckert confirmed. Mr. LeMenager asked if the	
250	requirement had to be met if you are not a Supervisor on December 31. Mr. Eckert indicated the	
251	reporting that a Supervisor has met the requirement does not take place until June 2025.	
252	E. District Manager: Inframark	
253	i.  Assessment Methodology Options	
254	This item was discussed immediately following audience comments.	

March 28, 2024 Harmony CDD

Ms. Popelka reviewed the methodology options and history of the current methodology for
non-ad valorem assessments. The operation and maintenance (“O&M”) methodology is different
than the debt methodology, which is common when areas remain vacant for a period of time. When
development begins to build out and transition, the methodology is often re-evaluated. Harmony
has developed residential units with a comparable footprint based on product size. The District has
flexibility in determining what methodology to use that makes the most sense for the development.
The equalized methodology calculates the same assessment for each product type. The most
common methodology—equivalent assessment unit (“EAU”)—is used when bonds are issued and
is based on front footage, so smaller lots have a lower assessment than larger lots with the rationale
that larger lots have a larger footprint and larger impact on the infrastructure. The EAU
methodology follows the debt methodology, which has been evaluated by a number of
professionals. Other options are available, including trip counts, stormwater runoff, and others.
Professionals will then need to be engaged to provide an analysis, and each line item in the budget
has to be assigned to a category, which has to be justified annually. Regarding using the assessed
value to determine O&M assessments, Ms. Popelka explained cautions in using value as the basis
for O&M assessments.
Discussion ensued regarding what methodology to use for the future apartment project, and
belief that the current residential assessments are fine. Ms. Popelka explained how to apply EAU
weighting to derive assessments of a comparable nature. Further discussion ensued regarding
equitably assessing apartment units that will result in more use of District facilities. Ms. Kassel
explained development and ownership of the apartment buildings, where units are rented by
individuals, and the building owned by a company. Future apartments could be treated the same
as existing apartments.
Mr. Eckert opined assessments should not be levied based on the home’s assessed value
because the assessments are based on special benefits that the property receives, and value should
not be the predominant factor. Regarding apartment buildings, they receive essentially the same
benefits as a townhome or smaller single-family home for recreation costs, but perhaps costs for
stormwater management are higher. The District can and should fairly allocate the costs based on
benefits received. Mr. Eckert described examples of allocating certain maintenance costs where
some are spread equally and others are based on square footage or front footage. Mr. Chokanis
asked how to determine what that delta will look like, which will be provided in an assessment
methodology and decided upon by the Board, showing the impact of assessments on product types.
Ms. Popelka suggested not making the model too complicated, e.g., splitting line items. Staff can

March 28, 2024 Harmony CDD

288	evaluate the impacts based on disparity of uses in the community, where residential product types	
289	are more uniform.	
290	Further discussion ensued regarding the timeframe for the apartments. South Lakes has not	
291	submitted a pre-application with the County, but came for a meeting and indicated maybe 2026.	
292	The apartments in the front have not been discussed yet but they are moving ahead with planning.	
293	ii.  Resolution 2024-07, Designating Officers	
294	Mr. LeMenager read Resolution 2024-07 into the record by title.	
295	Ms. Goldyn explained the persons listed on the resolution, including Mr. Neal who is assisting	
296	Ms. Angel Montagna. Mr. Bloom heads the Inframark finance team and currently serves as	
297	Treasurer.	
298		
299	Ms. Kassel made a MOTION to approve Resolution 2024-07,	
300	designating the following officers: Mr. LeMenager as Chairman;	
301	Mr. Leet as Vice Chairman; Ms. Montagna as Secretary; Mr. Bloom	
302	as Treasurer; and Mr. Neal, Mr. Chokanis, Ms. Kassel, and Ms.	
303	Phillips as Assistant Secretaries.	
304	Mr. Leet seconded the motion.	
305		
306	Upon VOICE VOTE, with all in favor, unanimous approval was	
307	given to Resolution 2024-07, designating the following officers: Mr.	
308	LeMenager as Chairman; Mr. Leet as Vice Chairman; Ms.	
309	Montagna as Secretary; Mr. Bloom as Treasurer; and Mr. Neal, Mr.	
310	Chokanis, Ms. Kassel, and Ms. Phillips as Assistant Secretaries.	
311		
312	FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Business Items	
313	A. School Request to Reserve the Pool for ESE Students	
314
315	Mr. LeMenager reviewed the request from the high school to reserve the pool for ESE students.	
316	Ms. Kassel made a MOTION to approve the event use request	
317	from Harmony High School to reserve the pool for ESE students on	
318	May 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., as presented.	
319	Mr. LeMenager seconded the motion.	
320		
321	Upon VOICE VOTE, with all in favor, unanimous approval was	
322	given to the event use request from Harmony High School to reserve	
323	the pool for ESE students on May 12 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.,	
324	as presented.	
325
326	
Discussion ensued regarding prior authorization given to the District Manager to approve these	
327	requests.	
328

329	B. Discussion of Golf Course Maintenance Facility	
330	Mr. LeMenager suggested there might not be much to discuss at the meeting. He spoke with	
331	the owner of the golf course yesterday. The appraisal was received late yesterday. Mr. LeMenager	
332	asked a few questions of Ms. Montagna and Mr. Eckert yesterday, and more information will be	
333	forthcoming in the next couple weeks, including financing options. Mr. Eckert provided several	
334	financing options and an opinion on which one he thought was best. Mr. LeMenager will be	
335	pushing this issue to move ahead.	
336	Ms. Kassel believes the facility is bigger than the District needs, which Mr. LeMenager	
337	suggested the extra space can be rented out. Ms. Kassel asked if other districts rent out their	
338	facilities. Mr. Eckert reviewed situations where that has occurred, which might result in losing a	
339	real estate tax exemption and should be included in the financial analysis if the rented space is	
340	being used for a non-governmental purpose. If financing with tax-exempt bonds or notes, renting	
341	the space might not be allowed in the bond covenants for that issuance. Mr. Eckert provided the	
342	example of a district renting out part of the amenity center to the developer for their sales office.	
343	Ms. Kassel indicated the facility would be rented out to the landscaping vendor for equipment and	
344	supplies on a permanent basis, possibly the golf course on a temporary or permanent basis, and	
345	other uses. Those are concerns for Ms. Kassel, as well as the management of it. Mr. Leet asked if	
346	use by the District’s landscape vendor would be different than renting to some other third party.	
347	Mr. Eckert suggested making that argument to bond counsel. The two issues Mr. Eckert raises are	
348	federal tax issues which would not apply if not issuing bonds, and the annual real estate tax issue.	
349	The tenant could pay those taxes, and other issues can be resolved.	
350	Mr. Leet asked of any restrictions if the District issued bonds for the purchase of the property	
351	and generated revenue from the existing RV lot behind it, which bond counsel will have to answer.	
352	The District might be able to do that through the recreation power, and if the lot is open to	
353	everyone, you could probably resolve that issue. Ms. Goldyn offered to reach out to bond counsel	
354	for those answers. Mr. Leet suggested it would be beneficial to rent out the RV lot. Ms. Kassel	
355	asked if there is access, which might have to be done for the backside. Mr. Leet indicated they are	
356	contiguous, and suggested the PD might have to be modified for a roadway to that site.	
357	Mr. LeMenager will be working to provide much more information over the next couple	
358	weeks.	
359	Ms. Phillips asked if a solution to the tax problem would be if the District purchased the	
360	equipment and the landscape vendor rented it from the District. Mr. LeMenager suggested renting	
361	the facility to more than just the landscape vendor. Ms. Phillips will schedule a visit the facility.

370	on the District’s website or in the District Office during normal business hours.

377	Ms. Kassel questioned an invoice for 000 Harmony Square Drive from Toho Water Authority	
378	for mid-December to mid-January that was ten times more than the month before, perhaps due to	
379	a leak or some other issue. Mr. Lomasney will follow up.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisor Requests
Ms. Kassel asked if the District still needs to purchase a garden shed, and Ms. Marylin Ash-
Mower indicated they do. Ms. Kassel reviewed previous proposals she obtained and requested they
be on next month’s agenda, with newer proposals if these have expired.
Ms. Kassel discussed previous discussions for Children At Play signs or boulders for some
ribbon curbs at alleys, and asked the resolution. Mr. Hamstra indicated clarification needs to be
obtained from Waste Management that they will not stop service if boulders are installed because
residents indicated they stopped collected trash. Mr. Hamstra will follow-up with Ms. Montagna
and Ms. Goldyn. Mr. Neal will follow up regarding Waste Management’s insurance carrier.

Ms. Kassel asked if Garden Road had enough rocks, and Ms. Ash-Mower indicated no. Mr.
Baez will order more for next week.
Ms. Kassel indicated a picnic table is not in use. The Nature and Animal Committee discussed
purchasing a new one, at a cost of $905 but will use that existing one to put at the entrance to
Billy's Trail on District property. Ramps that had been used for one of the mobile buildings that
had been trashed will also be utilized on Billy's Trail.
Ms. Kassel asked when the next report is coming from SFWMD or Army Corps of Engineers
regarding monitoring and maintenance of invasive species. Mr. Hamstra indicated Ms. Katherine
Bowman sends a semi-annual or quarterly report to SFWMD. He will follow up with her to see if
the District has met the goal of the percentage reduction of Old World Climbing Vine because it
is in a conservation area. This will be important for the budget process. 409
