Facility Manger
Report
Mr. Boyer stated the big item within the last ten days is another fairly large hole that has sunken in on the pool deck and we spent just under $6,000 less than six months ago for them to redo the entire lip and there was no guarantee that would hold. This is another area we are having an issue with. You have had rain, but we also noticed these areas are sinking in where there are lights and water may be seeping in behind the lights. We are working with a general contractor on that.
Mr. O’Reilly asked did Erick come by?

Mr. Boyer responded Erick has been by and assessed the situation and have not heard an action plan. We have a quote from Tropical Pavers, but I think we want the general contractor to do that.
Mr. O’Reilly stated send that to Erick.
Mr. Boyer stated I will send that to Erick. This one is probably going to be more of an issue because even the mosaic tiles on the actual outside of the pool lip are starting to come out as well as the three-foot entry in the picture that is actually popped and cracked. There is definitely more to it, it is still going on. We have blocked it off entirely so people can’t get to it. I want the residents to be aware that we are actively pursuing it and doing what we can from our side, but it will fall back on the general contractor.
Mr. O’Reilly stated send the invoice if you don’t hear back from Erick in the next 24 hours, we will just fix it and he can pay the invoice directly.
Mr. Boyer stated the other thing is this is the second fairly deep cave-in we have had in the past year.
Mr. O’Reilly stated that is why I want Erick to figure out what is going on.
Mr. Boyer stated this is something between the stairs that we fixed twice in this area and making sure it is getting done properly.
Other than that the sod has not been installed yet. I actually called Jim today to make sure that gets some priority to it.
Mr. O’Reilly stated Joe called Jim yesterday on the end of Amberley.
Mr. Boyer stated the little corner. That has not been done but when I got back in town I called Jim to ask that it gets some priority to it. I have been told it has been an issue, it is not the landscape guys it is the construction guys and I asked Jim can we get it done.

Proposal from Tropical Pavers for Sunken Pavers

Monthly Quality Inspection Report

Ms. Giles stated we did get the landscape inspection report earlier today and I can forward that to the board. There doesn’t seem to be anything outstanding on it.

ELEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisor’s	Requests	and	Audience
Comments
A resident stated it has been brought up by several homeowners to see if we can get doggie stations throughout the community because there are problems with people not picking up after their pets. I have a map from the property appraiser and walked the area where we can possibly add some. I don’t know what needs to be done to consider that.
Mr. O’Reilly stated we can get a proposal for that and there is a cost to maintain them that could increase your dues. The frequency varies but over time they are costly. We just got a proposal on another project and I can see what the proposal was, and we can talk about that at the next board meeting. I personally would not do that because it will increase your dues, so that may be something when the board turns over that the residents may agree on.
A resident stated the Heatherbrook landscaping you talked about earlier, it is owned by the CDD so I want to know what we are doing there.
Mr. O’Reilly asked where?
A resident stated the road before Lennar built, where it curves in and ends, that is a cul-de-
sac.
A resident stated next to the mailbox there is a little section that is a triangle, not on the
property of the property owner, it is between that and the grass section of the mailbox area. I’m pulling it up on GIS now and it says Armstrong Community Development District.
Mr. O’Reilly stated you are talking about the curb in Heatherbrook there is a pocket park on the north end.
A resident stated yes, it is just grass area and then there is a little area that goes to the other side of the street, Tynes, then right adjacent to that on the left hand side there is a home between the home and the mailbox area and the side that goes to Tynes, right against the woods has a little strip that is probably 15-feet by 30 or 40-feet that has no grass. It is just dirt and it is not leveled or anything. I will show you on the map.
Mr. O’Reilly stated text me a screenshot or something.

Ms. Giles stated I have the property appraiser’s website open so maybe after the meeting Jose can help me figure out which one he is talking about then we can click on that parcel it will show the owner.
A resident stated it is Armstrong CDD. Ms. Giles stated then that is a CDD area.
Mr. O’Reilly stated it will be sodded just like the other area Jim has to do now.
A resident stated it is funny because there are no lines where it splits off in that little section behind the mailbox, it is all one section, but they just didn’t do that one section.
Ms. Giles asked Alex is that something you can make a note of? Mr. Boyer stated as soon as he shows it to me.
The resident pointed out the location under discussion on his phone and stated this section doesn’t have any sod on it.
Mr. O’Reilly stated that is a sewer trap.
A resident stated it is the section inside of the blue. Ms. Giles stated take a screenshot and send it to us.
Mr. O’Reilly stated Alex, just add that to Jim’s sod list.
A resident stated at the amenity center there was a plate on the gate that was replaced on the far side of the pool and the latch goes past the plate.
Mr. Boyer stated someone bent it and it is to be replaced.
A resident stated maybe next time look at composite wood for the benches instead of using
wood.
Mr. Boyer stated we replaced it to make sure it is not a safety hazard. If the board and/or
the community wants to do that, then we need to look at it more because it is outside our scope.
A resident asked is there a way to not have the security companies sit in the office?
Mr. Boyer stated there was a discussion not too long ago where right now they can spend up to 15 minutes each hour, the rest of the time they should be inside the patio area. Another issue is there is a certain staff member that doesn’t have their own transportation so sometimes they ae dropped off early before their shift an the perception is they should be working when they are technically not and I said they either work the shift as soon as they shoe up or they don’t show up until they are ready because the perception is once you see a security guard onsite they are working whether they are punched in or not.
