CDD Meeting July 19th Re-Cap

Please see below for a recap of decisions made and actions required as follow-up from last week’s meeting.

• Several audience members requested additional communication from the CDD (Paul C. requested that a communication discussion be added to the next agenda for additional Board discussion; Rizzetta/WTS to add to agenda).
• The Board reviewed an updated ownership map of the District and asked the Engineer to confirm all developable areas within the District (Cardno to confirm questions about some areas as to whether they are developable or not).
• The Board tabled the proposals for amenity planning consultants and these will be brought back to a future meeting (Rizzetta to obtain additional proposals for a future meeting).
• The Board discussed the status of the seawall contract and directed District Counsel to send a notice to the contractor with a 7-day deadline for providing comments on the current contract. If there is not a contract signed by the August meeting, Counsel’s recommendation will be for the Board to find a new vendor for the seawall reconstruction (CDD Attorney to send notice to Dock Solutions and provide updates as necessary).
• The Board reviewed weep hole maintenance recommendations from the District Engineer (Cardno to work with Rizzetta on having internal staff complete this maintenance as necessary).
• Rizzetta provided an update on the status of the seawall bond. MBS Capital Markets is working on the credit packages, but is waiting on a resolution to the seawall contract before moving forward with the new bond issue. Once the seawall contract is executed, MBS will need 90 days to issue the new bonds.
• The Board discussed the O&M budget and directed staff to make some updates prior to the final budget hearing in August (Rizzetta to update general fund, seawall fund, and evergreen fund budgets; WTS to update enterprise fund budget).
• The Board approved five upland claims (Upland Counsel to send settlement agreements and any necessary language to include in emails to residents when settlement agreement is sent; Rizzetta to send settlement agreements to residents for signature).
• The Board approved a proposal for asphalt repair services (CDD Attorney to draft contract for work; Cardno to organize schedule once contract is signed).
• The Board reviewed Cardno’s major project schedule and requested that the date given be added to the schedule for each project (Cardno to include date given for each project in future updates).
• The Board reviewed a proposal for Tract C-1 mangrove trimming (Cardno to bring updated proposal for trimming and ongoing mangrove maintenance to the next meeting).
• The Board approved an addendum to the Amenity Management Services agreement for on-site staff merit increases (Rizzetta to ensure these are reflected in new billing).
• The Board discussed roving security as a replacement to FHP off-duty service (Rizzetta to add this topic to next agenda for further discussion and Board consideration).
• The Board discussed allowing the Bay Breeze and Admiral Pointe gates open for builders currently constructing homes, and they decided that the builders can purchase wands for their contractors to open the gates while homes are under construction (Rizzetta to inform builders that they can purchase wands for this purpose).
• The Board discussed shade structures for the playgrounds and requested that proposals for replacement be added to the next meeting agenda (Rizzetta to send proposals for inclusion in the agenda).
