REGULAR AGENDA
500) Quarterly Fiscal Year-To-Date Expenditure Details
Ms. Bruno briefly reviewed the quarterly report and invited questions.
Brief discussion followed on the low fund balance. Ms. Bruno reviewed previous discussions
related to a proposed rate study and the recently approved rate raise to the current legal
limit of one-hundred and twenty-eight dollars ($128.00) for the Maintenance Fund. Ms. Bruno
also noted that there may be a need for future discussion about raising the capital rate.
501) Tentative Fiscal Year 2024 Budget
No additional discussion.
502) Update on Tuscawilla Lighting and Beautification District Projects
Mr. Maddox discussed plans for tree replacement.
Discussion followed on maintenance of monuments and Committee Members noted issues
at the corner of Shetland and Citrus as well as Dyson and Deer Run. Mr. Maddox indicated he
would communicate these concerns to the contractor and get any issues addressed. Mr.
Maddox also noted, related to the fountains, that he could look into a wildlife ramp.
Further discussion followed on the provision of median maps, replacing dead sod, and the
costs of a new pump versus a rebuild.
Mr. Maddox noted that roughly 13,000 square feet of sod had been replaced and that the
remainder would be completed in the next fiscal year.
503) Discussion on Entry Fountain
Mr. Maddox noted the rescheduling of the previous meeting due to the fountain, basin being
cracked all the way across and all the way through. Mr. Maddox noted that Staff was still
working to assess the situation, core samples were being conducted, and ult imately the
basin would need replacement.

Discussion followed on costs, the possibility of converting the basin into a planter, and the
likelihood that this would reoccur.
Mr. Maddox reiterated work was still being completed, including geotechnical analysis of
both basins, and noted the potential of a future Special Meeting to discuss pricing and
recommendations.
Further discussion followed on insurance, the potential need for a separate fund to pay for
the fountain, potential delays, and speculation about potential causes including sinkholes,
hurricane damage, or mechanical issues.
Mr. Maddox noted that there was no indication currently of a mechanical piping failure. Mr.
Maddox also noted that in this process, depending on direction, the vault could also be
moved as part of a rebuild.
Brief discussion followed on the significance of the fountains, the use of potable water for the
fountains, and potentially looking at additional capital funding.

Chairperson Bivona adjourned the Regular Meeting at 5:46 p.m.
