FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS	Roll Call
Mr. Laughlin called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.

SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
Scott Thornton asked for some feedback on the thoughts on fishing in the ponds and the policies related to fishing in the District as his sons have enjoyed fishing and he feels they've been respectful.
Mr. Laughlin stated that fishing is prohibited in the District's policies as it draws people
from outside the community to fish, and the fishing line can cause damage to the fountain motors.

Dr. Sweeney and Mr. Dickinson indicated they would be open to changing the policy to allow fishing in certain ponds.
Mr. Diaz-Rodriguez expressed concem as he's had issues with adults that have walked
onto his property to fish, have used his lawn furniture and gotten aggressive when approached.
Mr. Laughlin stated that staff could work on policy revisions for the Board to consider at a future meeting.

On MOTION by Mr. Dickinson seconded by Dr. Sweeney with three in favor and Mr. Diaz-Rodriguez opposed, authorizing Supervisor Dickinson to work with staff on drafting fishing policy revisions was approved 3-1.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Approval of Minutes of the January 15, 2025
Meeting
There were no comments on the minutes.

On MOTION by Dr. Sweeney seconded by Mr. Diaz-Rodriguez with all in favor the minutes of the Janmuy 15, 2025 meeting were approved_as presented.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration of Supplement to Investment
Banking Agreement for Underwriting Services
Mr. Laughlin informed the Board that for Ms. Mossing to look at financing options for
the Board, the supplement to investment banking agreement for underwriting services with MBS Capital Markets would need to be approved. He noted there is no fee to be paid to MBS unless bonds are issued.
Ms. Mossing stated that MBS was the District's investment banker on its prior bond
issues, so this is a supplement to the original agreement from 2014 that allows her to work on the financing options for the proposed erosion repair project and other projects the board is considering. Under SEC rules, they are not allowed to discuss specifics with the board unless they are under contract.

On MOTION by Mr. Dickinson seconded by Mr. Lawton with all in favor the supplement to investment banking agreement for underwriting services V1_ith MBS Capital Markets was approved.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Matters Related to Erosion Issues
Discussion of Drainage Assessment Report and Erosion Issues
Mr. Sowards stated that his firm did an analysis of the drainage structures throughout the neighborhood and pointed out structures that have a deficiency and provided their recommendations. There is nothing of immediate concern other than the erosion on Wood Blossom. The estimates included in the repmi come from FDOT historical statewide averages to repair structures and pond bank erosion. The estimate for all suggested repairs totals $700,200.
Dr. Sweeney stated that this needs to be a conceited effort and the HOA needs to understand the implications of approving a pool installation on pond banks that are eroding.
Next, Mr. Sowards informed the Board that he has spoken with the head of engineering for Duval County, and he does not see any way the city would pay for the work to be done off Wood Blossom. The city's engineer recommended the tiered wall option for the repair. Mr. Sowards provided the board with information regarding a keystone gravity wall option that a contractor is estimating could be completed for around $400,000. The contractor is in the process of putting together a proposal.
Mr. Dickinson asked that the keystone gravity wall be included in the RFP as an option.
Ms. Henley stated that the RFP can give the bidders the ability to provide alternative
bids.
Ms. Kilinski asked Ms. Mossing if it would be problematic if the Board wanted to wait
until the bids come back to decide if issuing bonds is necessaiy.
Ms. Mossing responded that a loan over five years in length would be considered a bond, so the Board would still need to adopt the bond resolutions and go through that process.
Ms. Kilinski stated that no more money would be spent to have both the RFP process and
the beginning of the financing process going at the same time, and it would put the Board in a good spot at the May meeting to have all that information. Statutorily, all these milestones have to be met regardless of the length of the loan.
The Board discussed what amenity enhancements should be included in the engineer's
report to possibly be funded with the bonds, including the pool expansion, playgrounds, aud the spmi courts.

Discussion of Financing Options

Ms. Mossing stated that the District originally validated $17 million in bonds, and
$11,550,000 has been issued, so about $5 million is available to be issued without additional authorization needed. A presentation was provided to the Board which summarizes what the annual assessments would increase to if $1.4 million in bonds were issued for both 15-year and 30-year bonds. For a 15-year bond, the assessments would increase by $304 per unit per year. And for a 30-year bond, she estimates the assessments would increase by $222 per unit.
Dr. Sweeney questioned if another engineer's report is necessary given that two reports have recently been done.
Ms. Kilinski responded that it is necessary, however her firm can provide Matthews with
a shell of the report that is prepared under the cost of issuance. Ms. Henley added that information can be pulled from the existing reports.

Consideration of Engagement Letter with Nabors Giblin for Bond Counsel Services
Mr. Laughlin stated that the next steps needed to proceed with any financing options are
approving the engagement letter with Nabors Giblin, which authorizes them to work with the District, and then to authorize staff to draft an engineer's repoti and assessment methodology report. He noted bond counsel's fees would not start until the bond process begins. For a public offering, bond counsel charges $40,000. For private placement, the fee will not exceed $35,000.

On MOTION by Dr. Sweeney seconded by Mr. Dickinson with all in favor the engagement letter with Nabors Giblin for bond counsel services was approved.
