NEW BUSINESS
HOA Report Discussion

The Board reviewed the HOA memorandum and Water Quality Report. Discussion included the performance of the lake aeration system (compressors, airlines and diffusers). Mr. Ellabarger questioned the report reference that current motors are “underpowered” and whether this condition was due to age or system design. Discussion included past repairs where airline sections were cut and spliced, resulting in some diffusers being relocated from their original positions, with some reportedly near the lake banks and others frequently out of service. The Board Members discussed that the repairs appear to be largely reactive, occurring as components fail, and that low water levels may contribute to clogging or reduced performance. It was noted that motor sizing should account for intended diffuser placement if lines are extended and diffusers returned to deeper locations. Chairman Janiec stated he would follow up with HOA representatives regarding equipment replacement planning, line extensions and proposals for new motors.

Additional discussion included the entrance fountain (noted to be under warranty), torpedo grass treatment and monitoring, and littoral plantings, which were noted to be an HOA project. The Board also reviewed the Water Quality Report format and trends and requested that future reports reference the water bodies as “lakes” rather than “ponds.” A brief discussion occurred regarding irrigation restrictions and shoreline sprinkler adjustments intended to support littoral areas during low water conditions. Mr. Ellabarger also requested follow-up regarding the herbicide used for torpedo grass treatment and the availability of MSDS documentation.
OLD BUSINESS

There were no Old Business items to come before the Board.

ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
Manager’s Report
Ms. Meneely advised that the District Engineer had submitted his resignation effective at the end of March and that a Request for Qualifications for a new engineer would be published with responses due by March 20, 2026. Discussion followed regarding scheduling a meeting to review proposals and hear presentations from responding firms.

A motion was made by Mr. Janiec, seconded by Mr. Ellabarger cancelling the March meeting and rescheduling it for April 2, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The motion passed 3-1 with Mr. J. Robinson dissenting.

Ms. Meneely also reviewed the upcoming budget schedule and noted that the budget public hearing would likely occur later in the summer to meet statutory requirements.

BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS
CDD Ownership Map “Open Spaces” - Ellabarger

Mr. Ellabarger went over the areas identified as open space on the District ownership map and referenced the addendum to the engineer’s ownership summary. Discussion included whether certain parcels should remain titled to the CDD or potentially be conveyed between the CDD and the HOA. Mr. Haber explained that any transfer would require agreement of both parties and may require survey work and legal descriptions if only a portion of a platted tract were conveyed. He also noted that CDD ownership provides sovereign immunity protections but that certain amenities owned by the CDD must remain open to the public, subject to a reasonable user fee. The Board agreed the matter should be deferred until a new District Engineer has been engaged and the ownership map can be reviewed and confirmed.

ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board, a motion was made by Mr. C. Robinson, seconded by Mr. Janiec and passed unanimously adjourning the Regular Board Meeting at 4:03 p.m.
