FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
Mr. Laughlin opened the audience comment period regarding agenda items.
Resident (Tracy) addressed the Board regarding use of the lap pool, explaining that after suffering a serious femur fracture caused by a fall over an exposed manhole cover, aquatic exercise has become an important part of her rehabilitation. She requested that one lane of the lap pool be designated primarily for swimmers while the other remain available for walking and water exercise, allowing the lanes to be shared when demand is low. She stated that this arrangement would better accommodate individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries while also providing dedicated space for lap swimmers. She emphasized the importance of mutual respect among pool users and encouraged the Board to consider a solution that serves the needs of all residents. She thanked the Board for its time and consideration.
Resident (Susan Miller) spoke on behalf of herself and 84-year-old mother regarding use of the lap pool. She requested that the lane closest to the play pool be designated for walking and water exercise, explaining that it is more accessible for older residents and individuals with mobility limitations. The resident shared that her mother is a cancer survivor who has undergone multiple surgeries and relies on the shallower area for therapeutic exercise. She also noted that the pool’s uneven depth makes it difficult for some residents to participate safely in water exercise. Additionally, she encouraged respectful interactions among residents, stating that concerns about pool use should be directed to amenity staff or management rather than addressed by residents themselves. She expressed hope that a solution could be reached that accommodates everyone’s needs and thanked the Board for its consideration.
Resident (Barry Freidman) commended the Board for its previous handling of lap pool concerns and stated that, in his experience, residents have generally worked together respectfully to share the facility. He expressed opposition to changing the current arrangement for reinstating

a dedicated walking or aerobics lane, noting that the issue appears limited and does not warrant additional restrictions. The resident emphasized that lap swimmers require the lap pool for their activity, whereas walking and water exercise can be performed in other areas of the pool. He encouraged the Board to maintain the current operations, stating that the existing system has worked well and should remain unchanged.
Resident (Steve Pasiuk) first raised a landscaping concern, complimenting Brightview’s overall performance while identifying several locations in need of attention, including overgrown planters and deteriorating grass. He the addressed the lap pool, recommending that its use be prioritized for lap swimmers and individuals with physical disabilities. He stated that both groups rely on the pool’s unique design and features, while other forms of water exercise can be accommodated in the larger recreational pool use policy and direct staff to consistently enforce the policy to minimize conflicts among residents.
Resident (Kerry Rowell) addressed the Board in support of reserving the lap pool for lap swimmers and residents with physical disabilities. He explained that these users depend on the lap pool’s specific design characteristics, while other recreational and upright water exercises can be performed in the larger pool. He encouraged the Board to establish a clear policy, install signage identifying the permitted uses of the lap pool, and ensure consistent enforcement to reduce confusion and resident conflicts.
Resident (Leslie Tennyson) stated that the current lap pool policies should be updated to reflect how the pool is generally being used rather than creating new restrictions. She explained that swimmers and walkers have generally coexisted without significant issues and noted that not all physical disabilities are visible, sharing a personal experience of using the pool during recovery form surgery. She encouraged continued courtesy and cooperation among pool users, suggesting that individuals be given reasonable time to finish their activity before being asked to move. She also recommended revising or removing outdated pool signage, so it accurately reflects the Board’s adopted policy and current pool operations.
Resident (Robin Freidman) urged the Board to keep the current lap pool policy in place, stating that it has worked well and that recent discussion stemmed from a single isolated incident rather than an ongoing problem. She emphasized that lap swimmers should continue to have access to a dedicated lane while encouraging swimmers and walkers to exercise common courtesy by sharing the facility and accommodating one another when possible. She noted that the lap pool is

the only area suitable for continuous lap swimming and expressed appreciation for the amenity, encouraging the Board to preserve the current approach.
Resident (Sandy Rowell) stated that the lap pool was designed primarily for lap swimming and rehabilitation and expressed the belief that the current arrangement has generally worked well with few conflicts. She suggested that most issues arise from residents or guests who are unfamiliar with the existing rules and recommended that staff be better informed and consistently communicate the policy when concerns arise. She opposed creating a dedicated walking lane, noting that walkers and swimmers have generally been able to share the facility through courtesy and cooperation, while recognizing that lap swimmers rely on the pool for its intended purpose. She encouraged the Board to maintain the current approach and continue promoting respectful use of the amenity.
Resident (Valerie Lawrence) addressed the Board regarding several undeveloped lots on Amberwood Drive that are maintained by the developer. She stated that the lots have not been consistently maintained resulting in overgrowth vegetation, debris, fallen fencing, sprinkler damage, weed growth, and increases pest activity that has affected neighboring properties. She requested assistance in addressing the maintenance concerns. Board members explained that the lots are maintained by the developer and advised the resident to contact District staff and the developer’s representative, noting that the issue falls outside the Board’s agenda, but that staff could help facilitate communication.
Resident (Fred Mueller) stated that concerns regarding the lap pool had been apparent for some time and suggested that installing a lane divider helped reinforce the pool’s intended purpose as a lap pool. He explained that clear markings and the current layout have improved use of the facility and noted that, in his experience, most residents cooperate respectfully and communicate when sharing the pool. He stated that conflicts have been minimal and are generally resolved through courtesy, with walkers and swimmers accommodating one another as needed. He encouraged the Board to maintain the current approach, emphasizing that the issue is largely one of communication rather than a need for additional policy changes.

Grass near amenity sidewalks was scheduled to be trimmed back, and crews were averaging approximately 20 lakes per week, subject to weather conditions. Recent wind and rain had affected treatment schedules, but crews were expected to catch up. The Board requested that treatment reports be forwarded for tracking and discussed weed control methods, including trimming taller weeds before applying treatment. The Board reviewed a proposal to aerate the athletic field and apply granular fertilizer. Staff explained that the work would improve soil conditions by increasing airflow and moisture penetration and would help maintain the field’s current condition. The proposal totaled $1,072. Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved the athletic field aeration proposal.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Hartley, with all in favor, the Proposal for Aeration of the Athletic Field in the Amount of $1,072, was approved.

Proposal for Section 9 & 11 Recharge Well
The Board reviewed a proposal to install a recharge well to address ongoing irrigation and low-water issues affecting Sections 9 and 11. Staff explained that the existing pond and pump system had repeatedly lost prime because of insufficient water levels, which had contributed to deteriorating turf conditions. Previous efforts to extend the intake farther into the pond had not resolved the problem.
The proposed well would draw from an aquifer and replenish the pond to improve irrigation reliability. The Board discussed available capital funding, the potential cost of replacing damaged turf if the irrigation issue continued, and the possibility of later seeking participation from the developer. The Board agreed that restoring water service was necessary before additional turf repairs could be considered.

Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved the recharge well proposal in the amount of $28,376.62, with Brightview authorized to proceed with installation. The Board requested an update following installation so that the affected landscaping could be reevaluated.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Mr. Dunn, with all in favor, the Brightview Proposal for Section 9 & 11 Recharge Well in the Amount of $28,376.62, was approved.

Proposal for Hurricane Cleanup
The Board reviewed Brightview’s annual hurricane cleanup agreement. Staff explained that execution of the agreement would place the District on Brightview’s priority response list following a storm. Initial work would include assessing the property, clearing roads, and moving debris to maintain safe access for residents and emergency vehicles, followed by additional cleanup once the extent of the damage had been determined.
The Board discussed the proposed spending limitation and expressed a preference to approve services according to the hourly rates listed in the agreement rather than authorize an open-ended not-to exceed amount. Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved the Brightview storm cleanup agreement at the rates provided in the agreement.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Hartley, with all in favor, the Brightview Proposal for Hurricane Cleanup, was approved.

Pine Straw
The Board reviewed a proposal for additional pine straw at several locations. The Board discussed areas where prior applications had been too thin or had not remained in place and considered eliminating locations where continued installation was not cost-effective. Staff noted that approximately 14,000 bales would be required to cover the entire property, but the current scope had been reduced by excluding certain pond and less-visible areas.
The Board discussed using the current installation to establish a more accurate basis for future budgeting and limiting future applications to locations where pine straw provides a clear benefit. Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved the additional pine straw proposal in the amount of $5,588.73, which was expected to be the final pine straw application for the fiscal year.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Mr. Dunn, with all in favor, the Brightview Proposal for Pine Straw in the Amount of
$5,588.73, was approved.

Brightview (Reverie)
Brightview QSA
Mr. McAvoy provided an update on landscape maintenance at Reverie. Recent work had focused on weed control around the entrance and amenity areas, with additional treatment planned for the rear park areas. A second chemical application was scheduled, and staff expected continued improvement in grassy weeds, broadleaf weeds and juniper beds. Fertilization of the rose beds and flowering plants was also planned now that irrigation service had improved.
The Board discussed ongoing irrigation and pump concerns, including prior installation and maintenance issues. It was reported that the pump manufacturer had inspected the system, provided recommendations and completed certain repairs. The Board discussed whether the original irrigation system and pond pump had been installed according to approved plans and permits. Mr. Haber advised that the engineering documents, permits and original approvals should be reviewed before determining whether the District had a viable claim against the developer or installer. He explained that any potential recovery would depend on whether the system had been required and omitted, improperly installed or installed differently from the approved design. The Board directed staff to obtain the applicable plans, permits and engineering information for further review.
The Board also discussed the condition of the turf and whether damaged areas should be replaced. The Brightview representative recommended allowing additional time for turf to recover now that water had been restored. It was noted that Floratam generally recovers more quickly than Provista and that the Board could reconsider replacement after observing the affected areas for approximately another month.
The Board reviewed Brightview’s proposal to add soil mix to the flower beds to improve drainage, raise the bed elevations and support the health of future annual plantings. Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved the soil-mix proposal in the amount of $2,916.25.

The Board began its review of interim suspension letters issued in connection with an incident involving multiple minors at the clubhouse. Staff explained that the incident involved violations of the District’s amenity policies and noted that several families would be heard regarding the suspensions. The board heard comments from the Knefelkamp family regarding the incident. Discussion included the minor’s conduct, acknowledgment of responsibility, prior disciplinary history, compliance with District rules, and the family’s cooperation following the incident. Staff also advised the Board that there had been a delay between the occurrence of the

incident and the issuance of the suspension letters due to the time required to identify those involved and noted that some of the suspension period had effectively already elapsed.
Board members emphasized the importance of complying with the District’s amenity rules and encouraged continued parental involvement and adherence to community standards. After discussion, a motion was made and seconded and approved to lift the interim suspension for the Knefelkamp family.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, to Lift the Suspension for the Knefelkamp Family, was approved.

The Board heard comments from the Mienel family regarding the interim suspension issued in connection with the clubhouse incident.

They also noted the minor’s positive history within the community and school and requested that the Board reinstate the family’s amenity privileges.
Board members discussed the District’s responsibility to enforce its amenity rules consistently while recognizing the family’s cooperation and the minor’s acceptance of responsibility. The Board reiterated the importance of understanding and complying with the District’s policies and encouraged continued parental involvement.
Upon a motion made and seconded, the Board approved lifting the interim suspension and restoring the Mienel family’s amenity privileges.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Mr. Dunn, with all in favor, to Lift the Suspension for the Mienel Family, was approved.

The Board considered the interim suspension issued to the Bonitatibus family. Staff advised the Board that the resident was not present to address the matter and provided an update regarding the circumstances that had occurred following the issuance of the suspension letter. Mr. Haber advised that, because the resident was not present, the Board should ensure appropriate due

process by clearly defining the suspension period related to the current matter and issuing notice that any subsequent incidents would be considered separately at a future hearing.
The Board discussed options for extending the existing suspension, the importance of providing adequate notice, and the process for addressing any additional violations through a separate hearing. Board members agreed that the resident should receive written notice of the Board’s action and any future hearing regarding subsequent incidents.
Following discussion, a motion was made and seconded and approved to extend the Bonitatibus family’s suspension for an additional sixty days and to direct staff to issue a follow-up notice consistent with the Board’s action.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, to Extend the Bonitatibus Family’s Suspension for an Additional 60 Days, was approved.

The Board reviewed the interim suspension previously issued to the Masters family following incidents of vandalism and property damage at the amenity center. Staff confirmed that the family had not appeared before the Board otherwise responded to address the matter. Mr. Haber advised that there is no maximum suspension period and emphasized that disciplinary actions should be determined on a case-to-case basis while remaining consistent with prior Board decisions to avoid claims of disparate treatment.
Board members discussed several options for the suspension period, ranging from an additional 60-90 days up to one year. Members expressed concern that the incidents occurred on multiple occasions, involved intentional property damage, and demonstrated a lack of accountability. The Board also discussed including language in the suspension letter allowing the family to appear before the Board at a future meeting to request reconsideration or a reduction of the suspension upon demonstrating remorse and accepting responsibility for the actions.
Following discussion, a motion was made, seconded, and approved to extend the Masters family’s amenity suspension for 365 days. The approved motion also directed that the revised suspension letter include language allowing the family and the child involved to appear before the Board to request that the suspension be lifted or reduced at the Board’s discretion.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Hartley, with all in favor, to Extend the Masters Family Suspension for 365 Days, was approved.

The Board reviewed the interim suspension issued to the Cyr family concerning incidents involving vaping and bringing bicycles onto common area property. Because the family was not present, the Board discussed the appropriate disciplinary action based on the information available and considered whether the existing suspension should be extended.
Mr. Haber advised that the original suspension letter remained in effect until the Board considered the matter and clarified that while residents may appear before the Board to provide their account and request reconsideration, they cannot be required to attend. The Board discussed several options, including allowing credit for time already served, extending the suspension by an additional 30 days, or imposing a total 90-day suspension to remain consistent with prior disciplinary actions. Board members also discussed balancing consistency with the facts of each individual case and recognized that each incident may warrant different treatment depending on the circumstances.
Following discussion, a motion was made and seconded to extend the Cyr family’s suspension by an additional 30 days.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, to Extend the Cyr Family Suspension for 30 Days, was approved.

The Board next considered the interim suspension letters for the Sigman and Hall families. Staff advised that both matters involved similar conduct, including vaping and the consumption of alcohol on District property. Based on similarity of the incidents to previously discussed cases, a Board member moved to extend each family’s suspension by an additional 30 days.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, to Extend the Sigman Family Suspension for 30 Days, was approved.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, to Extend the Hall Family Suspension for 30 Days, was approved.

The Board then considered the suspension of the Pilgrim family. Staff read a letter submitted by Mr. Pilgrim explaining that he was unable to attend the meeting due to a prior work commitment and requesting that the letter be accepted in lieu of his appearance. In the letter, he accepted responsibility for his daughter’s conduct, explained that the family had cooperated fully throughout the investigation, and noted that he had been the individual who initially reported the incident to District staff, which ultimately led to a broader review of security procedures. He requested that the Board reinstate the family’s amenity privileges.
Board members discussed the family’s cooperation, Mr. Pilgrim’s acceptance of responsibility, and the fact that he had voluntarily brought the matter to the District’s attention. The Board also discussed whether the suspension should remain in place for the daughter while restoring privileges to the remainder of the household. Several members expressed that continued suspension of the entire family would serve little constructive purpose given the family’s cooperation and efforts to address the matter.
Following discussion, a motion was made and seconded to lift the Pilgrim family’s suspension.

On MOTION by Mr. Dunn, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with Ms. Hartley, Mr. Dunn, Mr. Walters, and Ms. Gellman in favor and Ms. Sutton opposed, to Lift the Pilgrim Family Suspension, was approved 4-1.

The Board next considered the interim suspension letter issued to the Clark family regarding repeated violation of the District’s bicycle policy. Staff explained that the resident had repeatedly brought a bicycle into the fitness center, blocked access areas, and failed to use the designated bicycle rack despite numerous verbal warnings, prior written notices, and interactions with staff and security. Board members noted that the resident had been argumentative with staff on multiple occasions, ignored repeated requests to comply with the rules, and continued the conduct after previous incidents had been addressed.

The Board discussed the progression of enforcement efforts, noting that staff initially attempted to resolve the issue through conversations and warning letters before issuing a suspension. Members agreed the repeated nature of the violations and the resident’s refusal to comply warranted stronger disciplinary action.
Following discussion, a motion was made and seconded to extend the Clark family’s suspension by an additional 60 days, resulting in a total 90-day suspension.

On MOTION by Ms. Hartley, seconded by Ms. Sutton, with all in favor, to Extend the Clark Family Suspension for 60 Days, was approved.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Review and Ranking of Responses to RFQ
for District Engineering Services
Mr. Laughlin presented the ranking of responses received to the Request for Qualifications for District Engineering Services. Staff reviewed the qualifications-based selection process, explaining that firms are ranked based on qualifications rather than pricing and that contract negotiations would begin with the highest ranked firm.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion Items:
Board Oversight
Mr. Laughlin discussed oversight assignments for Board members and reviewed the current areas of responsibility assigned to each Supervisor. Members considered whether the existing assignments should be modified or remain unchanged, noting that a previously assigned oversight area was no longer covered following a Board member’s departure. After discussion, the consensus was to keep the current oversight assignments in place for the time being, with flexibility to revisit the assignments in the future if needed.

Lap Pool Policies
The Board discussed the existing lap pool policy following concerns raised by a resident. Boad members agreed the mater appeared to be an isolated incident rather than a problem with the

policy itself, noting that the policy has been reviewed on multiple occasions and continues to serve its intended purpose. Members emphasized that the lap pool is designated for swimming and lap use, while any future issues should be addressed through enforcement rather than policy changes.
After discussion, the Board reached a consensus to leave the existing lap pool policy unchanged and move on to the next agenda item.

Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget
Mr. Laughlin reviewed the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 budget, noting that the item was for discussion only and that formal adoption would occur following a public hearing at the August meeting. Staff reviewed revisions to the budget, including confirmed developer funding from Dream Finders, reduced operating expenses, increased capital reserve funding, and a projected annual assessment increase of approximately $120 per home.
Board members discussed the District’s transition away from Developer deficit funding and emphasized the need for assessments to reflect the true cost of operating the community. Staff also noted that excess revenues from prior years may help offset future assessment increases.
The Board reviewed several discretionary budget items, including lifestyle programming, special events, and holiday decorations. Members discussed identifying future cost-saving opportunities through sponsorships, fee-based events, and continued evaluation of operating expenses while maintaining the quality of community amenities and programs.
Following discussion, the Board agreed that any additional revisions would be considered before the August public hearing, a which time residents would have the opportunity to provide input prior to adoption of the Fiscal Year 2027 budget.

Recreation Pond Inspection Report
Mr. Laughlin reviewed the recreation pond inspection report prepared in connection with the turnover of the water management system from Greenpoint to the District. Staff reported that the inspection found the structures to be in good condition of the pond banks and grass maintenance, noting that the District had already begun maintaining the area and that continued mowing would support erosion prevention.
Following discussion, the Board agreed to accept the recreation pond turnover contingent upon Greenpoint repairing the identified minor erosion areas before final acceptance.

On MOTION by Mr. Walters, seconded by Ms. Sutton, with all in favor, to Accept the Recreation Pond Turnover Contingent on GreenPoint Repairing the Erosion Areas, was approved.

Fitness Pro Preventative Maintenance Findings
Mr. Wright reviewed the Fitness Pro preventative maintenance report identifying recommended repairs to several fitness center equipment components, including treadmill belts, upholstery, and worn pads, at a proposed cost of $2,578.43. Board members discussed the unusually high repair cost, the remaining term of the current equipment lease, and long-term options for replacing or leasing newer equipment. The Board also considered transitioning to different equipment brands and phasing in future replacements as the existing lease expires.
Following discussion, the Board determined that the recommended repairs were necessary to maintain the current equipment and approved the Fitness Pro preventative maintenance proposal in the amount of $2,578.43.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Ms. Hartley, with all in favor, the Proposal from Fitness Pro for Recommended Repairs in the Amount of $2,578.43, was approved.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration of Proposals
TrailMark
Swim Instruction
The Board considered proposals from two swim instruction providers to offer private swim lessons for residents at the community pool. Staff explained that both vendors were willing to tailor their programs to the District’s needs, including scheduling around existing pool usage and adjusting lap lane use if necessary. Board members discussed the differences between the providers, scheduling flexibility, use of District facilities, resident benefits, and the importance of minimizing conflicts with recreational pool use. The Board also discussed including agreement provisions requiring instructors to coordinate lesson schedules with District staff and allowing for termination or modifications if operational issues arose.
Following discussion, the Board expressed support for offering additional swim lesson opportunities for residents and approved both swim instruction proposals, with understanding that staff would coordinate scheduling and operational requirements to ensure compatibility with regular pool activities.

On MOTION by Mr. Dunn, seconded by Ms. Gellman, with all in favor, the Proposal for Both Swim Instructors, was approved.

Fitness Equipment
The Board considered a proposal to purchase replacement adjustable weight benches for the fitness center. Staff explained that two of the existing benches had experienced significant wear from heavy use and were deteriorating. While a less expensive commercial model had been purchased previously, staff recommended replacing the aging benches with a higher-quality, more durable model that would better withstand long-term use and match the existing premium equipment.

Tison for Amp Installation
The board discussed the status of the community’s outdoor sound system following questions regarding a proposal for amplifier installation. Staff explained that the Board had previously approved repairs to the sound system, but additional issues were discovered during work, including wiring problems, malfunctioning landscape speakers, and a failed amplifier. While one amplifier had been repaired and music was operational in some areas, a second amplifier had since failed. Staff noted that the technician who originally diagnosed the system was no. longer with the company, creating uncertainty regarding the extent of the remaining repairs. A new technician was scheduled to install the replacement speaker and swap out the failed amplifier, with additional information expected after the site visit.

Board members expressed concern over the frequency of repairs to relatively new amenity equipment and questioned why the sound system continued to experience failures despite previous expenditures. Members also discussed warranty status, ongoing maintenance costs, and the importance of determining the root cause of the recurring issues before authorizing additional work. No Board action was taken, and staff was directed to obtain updated information from the vendor and report back with the findings before proceeding further.

FIFTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Haber provided a legislative update regarding a bill that would have increased Florida’s sovereign immunity limits, potentially exposing governmental entities such as the District to greater liability and higher insurance costs. He reported that the Governor did not sign the bill, meaning the proposed increase did not take effect, which could help limit the District’s future insurance exposure and premiums.
Board members then discussed pending insurance and legal matters involving the District. Mr. Haber explained that active litigation matters are handled through the District’s insurance carrier and appointed counsel. Staff provided updates on two recent claims. One involved a trip-and-fall incident on a sidewalk, for which the insurance company was reviewing the claim and no litigation had been filed. The second involved a resident injury related to fitness equipment. Staff noted that the District had received a preservation letter from an attorney, but no lawsuit had been filed. Following a review of the incident and available video footage, the insurance carrier determined that the equipment had been used improperly and concluded the District was not at fault. No Board action was required.

Engineer
Mr. Sims reported that there were no formal engineering updates for the Board. Board members thanked staff for the prompt response in coordinating repairs to a malfunctioning traffic signal, noting that the issue was resolved quickly and communication throughout the process was appreciated.
The Board also discussed traffic conditions at the intersection following the repair, including requests for additional pavement striping to improve turning movements. It was noted that the County had previously reviewed the location and determined that the roadway geometry

did not justify adding the requested lane markings. Staff indicated they could continue coordinating with the County regarding any future traffic concerns. No Board action was taken.

Manager
Mr. Laughlin stated he had no more updates.

TrailMark Operations & Amenities
Report
Ms. Barron reported that operations at the amenity center were running smoothly. She noted that approximately 300 pool chemical containers had been removed and disposed of following weather-related delays. Upcoming community programming was also reviewed, including a flower arranging class, a summer paint night, and plans for a back-to-school event at the beginning of August.
Mr. Wright reported that the front entrance door at the amenity center remained inoperable due to a mechanical failure with the electronic access system. He explained that the existing crash bar required a conversion kit and related components to restore fob access. A proposal from Fly Lock totaling approximately $2,183 had been received, and staff continued to solicit additional quotes while recommending the repair be completed as soon as possible. Following discussion, the Board authorized Supervisor Dunn to work with staff on the repair of the exit gate at the Amenity Center.

On MOTION by Ms. Sutton, seconded by Mr. Dunn, with all in favor, Supervisor Dunn to Work with Staff on the Repair of the Exit Gate at the Amenity Center, was approved.

Staff also reported that repairs to the lap lane divider at the pool had been completed by Cbuss and that County roadway work near the community was progressing, with paving anticipated to be completed within approximately two weeks. Additional maintenance updates included ordering commercial-grade plyometric boxes for the fitness center, installing wildlife signage near TrailmMark ponds, ordering replacement batteries for the chairlifts, and preparing proposals for erosion repairs on Trailmark Drive for consideration at a future meeting.

Update on Gym Equipment
Mr. Wright discussed the condition of the fitness center equipment following the insurance claim. Staff recommended conducting a complete inventory and inspection before returning any removed equipment to service. Board members agreed that only appropriate, durable equipment should be returned to the fitness center and emphasized that personal items brought in by residents should not remain in the facility.

Adjustments were made to the irrigation pump and check valves to improve system performance and reduce recurring maintenance issues. Staff also advised that the maintenance supervisor had begun a long-term retaining wall project around the property, while routine maintenance of the community’s HVAC systems and ither facilities had been completed.
The Board also discussed proposals for replacing the community sound system. Members expressed concerns regarding equipment longevity, warranty coverage, and whether environmental conditions or equipment placement were contributing to repeated failures. The Board directed staff to obtain additional proposals, review warranty information, and further evaluate the existing system before making a replacement decision. Consideration of the proposal was tabled until a future meeting pending additional information.

Lifestyles (OnPlace) – Report
Ms. DeMarco reported that the community’s Fourth of July celebration was highly successful and reviewed several upcoming resident events. Scheduled activities included a DJ performance, a July 14 sunset sail from the St. Augustine marina featuring live music and complementary beverages, a fitness launch event on July 18, and the monthly social gathering on

She acknowledged the recent work accomplished on behalf of residents and thanked everyone for their continued leadership and support.
Ms. Brofford encouraged the Board to consider establishing a formal resident recognition program, specifically recommending recognition for Speaker Michelle and the “Feet on Earth” volunteers for their ongoing service and commitment to the community.

She then raised concerns regarding the gate operations at the Reverie entrance, noting that one gate remains open until approximately 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. and asked whether both gates could remain open during that period to improve traffic flow.
Staff explained that the current gate schedule is intended to accommodate active development traffic while maintaining controlled access to the community. Board members discussed the possibility of adjusting the gate operations, noting that keeping both gates open during peak construction hours could reduce wear on the equipment while still allowing controlled

entry. Staff agreed to evaluate the request with the developer and gate contractor and consider whether operational adjustments could be made.
