Ms. Kilinski reported that the Board should expect continued updates regarding legislative bills currently moving through the state legislature.

Ms. Giles stated before moving on to the Engineer report, she asked the Board for approval to amend the agenda to include the survey proposal.

On MOTION by Mr. Gowens, seconded by Mr. Martinez, with all in favor, to Amend the Agenda to Include the Survey Proposal, was approved.

B. Engineer – Discussion of Underdrain Project
Mr. Wieger presented a proposal for a survey related to utilities located along Block Island Parkway. It was noted that existing water and reuse utilities are currently located within CDD tracts rather than within a right-of-way or easement. CCUA has requested that the utilities be placed within an easement to allow for maintenance and access.
The proposed survey would identify the appropriate easement area based on CCUA’s requested width. Staff explained that the survey would apply to CDD Tracts 63 and 84 and would not impact private property.

On MOTION by Mr. Gowens, seconded by Ms. Milner, with all in favor, the Survey Proposal, was approved.

Mr. Wieger also provided an update regarding potential solutions to roadway flooding issues. Preliminary plans prepared by Alliance propose lowering the normal water levels in three ponds. A supporting report from ECS was included in the proposal.
Mr. Wieger noted that additional review and approvals would likely be required from Clay County, the St. Johns River Water Management District, and other applicable agencies. Concerns

were also raised regarding potential impacts to wetlands, drainage performance, and the need for geotechnical certification of proposed cutoff walls. No Board action was requested at this time, and the update was provided for informational purposes.

C. Manager
Ms. Giles stated she had no new report for the Board.

D. Operations Manager
Mr. Soriano stated that irrigation issues were recently corrected and seasonal plants were installed earlier in the month. The plant installation had previously been discussed at a prior meeting that was later canceled, and the related invoice will be brought forward for ratification once received.
Mr. Soriano noted that precautions were taken to protect the newly installed flowers during a recent cold weather event, and the plants appear to have fared well.
Mr. Soriano also reported that some dead trees have been removed; however, additional evaluation is ongoing. Due to recent cold temperatures, some trees appear dormant but may still be viable. Staff will continue monitoring for new growth over the next couple of months and will identify any trees that require removal or replacement. Soil amendments may also be considered where necessary.
Additionally, staff is exploring pressure washing services for certain sidewalks with heavy staining or mold buildup, particularly in low areas where irrigation runoff accumulates. A proposal, including potential locations and cost estimates, will be presented at a future meeting, with work tentatively planned around the spring timeframe.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Ms. Giles asked for any Supervisors requests. There being no requests, Ms. Giles moved on to the next agenda item.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
Resident (Mr. Anderson) inquired whether the proposed sidewalk pressure washing would become a recurring annual expense or if it was a one-time effort. Staff explained that the service is not currently included in the budget and would need to be incorporated into future budgets if the

Board chooses to perform the work annually. Staff noted that some communities allocate a small amount each year for periodic pressure washing and that the District could evaluate the effectiveness of the service before considering it as a recurring expense.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
