Field Managers Report Mr. Wright stated that Exclusive Landscaping has taken over responsibility for the CDD and they are doing good so far. He noted that he had them tearing through the irrigation system and they are getting everything up and running, especially before dormant season. He added that there were a lot of issues beforehand with tree bubbler caps broken off and the wrong irrigation heads in some areas and they are already in progress correcting those issues. Mr. Wright stated that those repairs should be done by now, but he has not got confirmation yet. He noted that one of the things they are doing is all the tree stakes that are on San Skipper Road, and a few other areas are going to be pulled because they aren’t really doing anything. He added that those trees have been there long enough to at least root and establish. Mr. Wright stated that if one of the trees falls, they can just put it back up at this point. He noted that he thinks it looks like a nuisance, and it creates a hazard if there is a storm and the actual ropes keep breaking. He added that now they are looking at things flying into the road and he would rather just pull them up now and get rid of that. Mr. Wright stated that they are also looking at replacing a couple of damaged sod areas and this would be on a strip-by-strip basis in maybe two pallets. He noted that once he gets that pricing, they will go from there. He added that this is directly across from the clubhouse, so he is assuming that they want that area to look good. Mr. Wright stated that they are starting to work on the engineer report that was submitted. He noted that normally all these districts will put these out at the end of June, and they must sort through which districts have the biggest issues at their immediate needs for hurricane risk and potentials like that. He added that they just have some minor curb repairs and sidewalk repairs. Mr. Wright stated that this will be worked on in the next 30 days, and they will get some debris cleared from the storm water system. He noted that he included Exclusive Landscaping irrigation reports so the Board can see some of the pictures of where all the leaks came from and that all this area is being replaced. He added that it was about $2,500.00 to do all the head change outs and repairs but that will save time and money on water, pressure washing and potential slip hazards because the concrete was getting watered way too much. Mr. Wright stated that they have been using new software for making maps for all their districts. He noted that this will have locations for any landscaping, fencing and fountains that insurance has been requiring. He added that if they are looking to ensure fencing, they must provide all this information, but it also provides resources where if they ever must have a vendor change it is fully interactive. SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business Mr. Showe stated that there was no other business or Supervisor requests. EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisors' Requests Mr. Showe stated that there was no other business or Supervisor requests. NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Adjournment On MOTION by Mr. Aggarwal, seconded by Ms. Kepfer, with all in favor, the meeting was adjourned. Secretary/Assistant Secretary Chairman/Vice Chairman
