H. ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA Ms. Cucinella requested, and it was the consensus of the Board, the addition of a discussion on the water problem with downspouts under New Business. I. COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC FOR ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA Mr. Dombal stated he was concerned with the weeds in the ponds and the low water level; he asked if the water level could be raised. Mr. Hirniak indicated that had been a drier than normal season and the water levels were totally dependent on rainfall, which was not being put back in at the rate it was being taken out for irrigation and through evaporation. He went over the various plant material, as some are not weeds and noted that spraying was an ongoing effort. J. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. August 16, 2018, Public Hearing & Regular Board Meeting The August 16, 2018, Public Hearing & Regular Board Meeting minutes were presented for approval. A motion was made by Ms. Czubkowski, seconded by Mr. Doyle and passed unanimously approving the minutes of the August 16, 2018, Public Hearing & Regular Board Meeting, as presented. K. OLD BUSINESS There were no Old Business items to come before the Board. L. NEW BUSINESS 1. Update on Lake Bank Cutting Mr. Hirniak indicated that this was an ongoing project. He noted that certain areas looked nice and were done with weedwackers, which do not destroy the root system. In other areas that were treated, dead materials were left and do not look nice. He stated that there should be at least two cuttings per year, preferably in March/April and then at the end of the wet season in September/October. He stated that Mainscape has been responsive and suggested they handle the spring treatment. If it does not go well, the District can go out for bids. There was a consensus of the Board to follow that process. 2. Discussion Regarding Sign Replacement Mr. Hirniak indicated he had brought this issue up in the past and asked Earthtech for a straight replacement cost. He was advised replacements ranged between $75-$150 per sign and that there are Page 2 of 4 Page 4

7 approximately 250 signs. He suggested replacements be considered over several budgets and noted that he would provide the paperwork on the project in the future. 3.

A motion was made by Ms. Czubkowski, seconded by Mr. Hogan and passed unanimously to adopt Resolution No , as presented. 4. ADDED ITEM Downspouts/Bank Erosion Ms. Cucinella stated that there was a problem with downspouts creating mud banks and further causing erosion. She felt that the guideline information being handed out that had been developed by the Board should be reconsidered with better suggestions. Mr. Doyle added that the ACC approves the drains and the CDD was not responsible for making remediation. He also noted that the ACC should be relied upon to manage violations. Mr. Hogan suggested that the Board take a look at the current guidelines and make suggestions for changes. Ms. Czubkowski stated that the guidelines were on the website. It was the consensus of the Board to review the material and put the item on the next agenda for suggestions on improvements. Mr. Doyle asked if the culverts between the lakes were free of obstructions. Mr. Hirniak responded that they were pipes and he would bring a diagram to a future meeting to show their locations. M.
