FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Update Regarding Encroachment Matters
Mr. Oliver reported since the last meeting, there was only one encroachment issue. Mr. Stephens consulted with the Chair and informed the resident  a swing set was on the easement. Mr. Kinnecom asked whether the survey of COD land adjacent to 324 Hefferon Drive has been completed. Mr. Oliver will follow up.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Review of Proposals for Replacement of Pond
Fountains
Mr. Oliver stated the District had several pond fountains and the Board was going to review options to replace with models that were more energy efficient including solar.
Mr. Stephens spoke with Future Horizons about the following options:
I.	Solar Power: Cons: No battery storage backup, no preset timer, on rainy days it may work in decreased capacity, very expensive.
Pond Diffusers: Pro: Low noise, most efficient option.  Cons: Lose the look of  the fountain.
New Fountains: Pro: Newer technology, savings on repair costs, under warranty, slightly more efficient. Cons: Electrical costs
Board discussion ensued and  there was consensus for Mr. Stephens to provide proposals at the next meeting for installation of new fountains at Ponds 600, 1100, 1200, 1600, 1700 and 1800, options for solar power, surge protectors, timers, bubblers and waterproof boxes to reduce frequency of GFI trips and outages.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion of Impacts of Curb Pressure
Washing and Other Road Pollutants on District's Stormwater Management System
Ms. Urcan presented a memo regarding the impacts of stormwater run-off and explained the CDD's retention pond system's ability to treat polluted water prior to release  into  the wetlands. Treatment was through seepage in the soils, settlement within the ponds, evaporation and vegetation. Runoff going into the ponds was detained for a certain period of time. When it

gets to a certain level, it slowly releases into the wetlands. The St. Johns River  Water Management District (SJRWMD) oversees permitting for construction and  operation.  The District still oversees the compliance of the operational permit. It was up to each property owner to make sure they follow best management practices. Therefore, the District should ensure the landscaping was Florida friendly, use non-toxic chemicals and not dump chemicals directly into the water.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Kinnecom stated the HOA sent out 70 violation letters to homeowners. The curbs and sidewalks were on the county right-of-way (ROW) and his concern was the black material going into the ponds. Ms. Urcan stated the black material  was a sealant that was applied to asphalt every five years. A diagram of a wet retention pond was provided, showing the stormwater runoff flowing into the pond. Most of the pollutants were fertilizer and pesticides. Mr. Eldred explained the ponds were designed to deal with stormwater  runoff.  There is no regulatory obligation to monitor or test the surface water.
The Board suggested placing a screen or filter at the weir. Ms. Urcan stated they were costly, but there were filtration systems. New developments, depending on the  location  and where they were discharging to, were required to install screens or filters.  Mr.  Kinnecom  asked if the CDD could ask the HOA to send violations to residents. Mr. Oliver did not think the CDD could influence the HOA and suggested drafting an e-blast with the key points. Ms. Wharton suggested sending the last page to residents with additional tips for water pollution. Mr. Oliver asked if any homes had Florida friendly landscaping. Ms. Urcan stated the University of Florida had a good Florida Friendly program; however, their evasive species list should be  updated. There was consensus for the HOA to circulate resident actions and tips to help the present water pollution to residents.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney- E-Verify Memo and Memorandum of Understanding
Mr. Eldred explained the District was registered to utilize the E-Verify System. In the future, all service contracts would have an additional contractual provision putting  the requirement on the service provider to utilize the E-Verify System. That was the only impact to the District. Ms. Wharton recalled that the CDD required the E-Verify System for the past two years. Mr. Eldred noted the legislation was effective on January I, 2021. The District should be receiving a copy of their newsletter, "Capital Conversations" for current Bills in the Florida

Legislature impacting the District. At the next meeting, Mr. Eldred would update the Board on Bills passed and how they may impact the District.

Engineer
Ms. Urcan introduced Ms. Michelle Otts who joined Prosser in December as  a Senior Civil Engineer. She will eventually take over the District.

Manager
Mr. Oliver stated the budget process for Fiscal Year 2022 had begun. The Board would receive the Proposed Budget at the May meeting, approve the budget and set the  date  for  a budget hearing to receive public comment. Over the next two months, the budget would  be refined before being presented at the the public hearing on July 22nd• The Board  would  then adopt the budget and the certified assessment roll would be provided to the St. Johns County Tax Collector before its September I, 2021 submittal deadline. The assessments will be included as a line item on the property tax bills to be mailed November I, 2021 .

Operations Manager - Report
Mr. Stephens presented the Operations Manager Report, which was in the  agenda package. Service calls were placed for the fountains in Ponds 1200 and 1600. They should be serviced the first of next week.

EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
There being none, the next item followed.

NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors Requests
Mr. Kinnecom noted the water and sewer for Heritage Park was provided  by the City of St. Augustine, which assessed all users an additional 25% surcharge. Mr. Kinnecom wanted the City of St. Augustine to eliminate the 25% surcharge to help all homeowners. Discussion ensued and there was Board consensus for the District Manager to draft a letter to the city. Prior to sending the letter to the city, District counsel would review the agreement to see if the surcharge had an expiration date.

TENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
Balance Sheet and Statement of Revenues & Expenditures
Mr. Oliver presented the Unaudited Financial Statements  through  February  28,  2021. The District was in good shape with $138,000 in capital reserves, to be used for upgrades in the near future.

Assessment Receipt Schedule
Mr. Oliver reported the District was 96% collected. The District always does well with their collections. Mr. Masley noted $12,000 was budgeted for common area maintenance in the General Fund, but only $201 was spent. Mr. Oliver stated while some line items are tied to contract work and expended uniformly each month, some lines items such as common area maintenance are more project or need driven. Good news is the funding is available to Brian for maintenance. Any unused surplus can flow to capital reserves at year end.

On MOTION by Mr. Masley seconded by Mr. Curran with all in favor the Check Register from January 12, 2021 to March 10, 2021 in the amount of $36,515.51 was approved.
