On MOTION by Mr. Valladares seconded by Mr. Cruz with all in favor, the Minutes of the January 26, 2023 Meeting were approved.

THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	of	School	Traffic
Issues
Mr. Cooper: Moving on to topic No. 3, discussion of school traffic issues, unless we're moving on to something else?
Mr. Quesada: Well, I know we have some guests here today.
Mr. Winkeljohn: So, we could take a guest first, whoever wants to say hi first is
fine.
Mr. Cooper: Ok, anybody want to go first?
Captain Rodriguez:   Good evening.  I know there were some concerns that came
up in regard to the new traffic pattern that we created at Waterstone Charter  School. With the old pattern we allowed 3 lanes to go into the school, we had the eastbound lane coming on Campbell, making a left, and coming northbound into the school. We had the westbound lane of Campbell making a right that went into the school, and then we had the southbound traffic coming past the guard shack making a left into the school, and about a week ago we shut that down. The biggest concern that I have with the southbound lane making a left into the school was the backup around the circle, it was 2 or 3 communities there. If there was a medical emergency call there or a police response over there, there's no way we would have gotten Fire or PD inside there because of the backup. If someone had to leave to go to the hospital, they wouldn't be able to get out because of the backup.   Another  complaint that we got was parents were parking  along

the northbound lane of Waterstone Way and walking to the school to pick up their kids. I sent a traffic officer out there to address that issue. So, we came up with, let's try to shut down the southbound turn lane into the school, which I believe  is what Vince suggested in the past at an HOA meeting, so we shut it down, it has inconvenienced  some residents, but there's no traffic at the roundabout. I just came at 3:30 today on Campbell to here, and I ended up making a traffic stop on the way in because a resident decided to take the eastbound inside lane and make a left to bypass the cars in line who make the left. So, I pulled her over, she lives in the first community over here, and she said, no, that's for residents, and I said, no you can't do that. So, I watched the traffic yesterday morning at 7:30 until about 8:00, drop off is not an issue, the biggest problem is, Waterstone has three dismissal times, 2:30, 3:00, and 3:30. What's happening is, when the 2:30 parents are lining up, some 3:30 parents are showing up, so they want to sit in line because they got here early. So, we had to kind of move them on, to ensure that we're doing the 2:30 pickup, that's one of the biggest issues that we see, and the school has been really good at getting the information out to the parents. They have placards, and one of the other things that I just looked at today and what I'm going to probably end up doing is coning off the inside lane for eastbound traffic on Campbell, so the only ones that can make a left into Waterstone are the turn lane. Yes, it's better to backup traffic on Campbell because we actually have three lanes of travel, as opposed to back here where it's two lanes. So, I'll open it up for any questions or suggestions.
Mr. Valladares: First of all, I want to thank you for coming, I know you have been very active, so thank you for taking your time, I want us to work together to solve this issue that's been going on for a while. You have been more than helpful with that. We even got feedback from Ms. Sandford from the School Board, and I think we're on the right track, I think we are in a positive way to resolve if not 100% of this issue but, at least 90% of the issues. My question is, people are doing a U-turn at the rotunda sometimes, the people coming out of Portofino Pointe, and the people from Palms have to sit there and wait and wait because people are continuously doing U-turns there. I don't  know how we can address that.
Captain  Rodriguez:   The  other suggestion  for that would  be, during  the  school
hours, if maybe coning off, and forcing even residents coming out, instead of going south,

which again may upset some people because they jump on the Turnpike right there, if they're going northbound, and forcing everybody northbound during that time.
Mr. Valladares: So, right now northbound and that's it, close the internal circles.
Captain Rodriguez: We can probably do that, that's away from the school so that would be more on you guys, if during that time if you want to just put some cones up in the morning and the afternoon.
Mr. Valladares: And then we have some people coming out of Portofino Lakes at
that time but, it's enough to where it becomes an inconvenience because these people, they come from the other side of Waterstone, and they want to turn west on Campbell Drive.
Captain Rodriguez: Right.
Mr. Valladares: Safety is the biggest concern. Captain Rodriguez: I would agree.
Mr. Valladares: Thank you.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Are there any other questions? Mr. Valladares: No.
Mr. Cooper: Just a recap, so the southbound lane turning into the school is closed
now for pickup and drop off, or just drop off?
Captain Rodriguez: I want to say for both but, actually I think we're still doing drop off, there was no backup unless it was at 7:30 in the morning until about 8:00. I don't believe the issue is drop off, I think it's more so on the pickup because of the stagnant pickup.
Mr. Cooper: Ok.
Captain Rodriguez : And I'll confirm that and let you know.
Mr. Cooper: Then the lefthand turn, so school parents are also able to make the left from 312th I guess going that way and make a left and go in there?
Captain Rodriguez: Yes.
Mr. Cooper: I guess there's somebody directing from Homestead PD?
Captain Rodriguez: The officer is in front right there, so we have two lanes that go into the school, and you have the ingress lane that goes into the Waterstone community. By doing it the way we're doing it, it has freed up the ingress and the egress, southbound, so if you're making the left, and you're going to the school, you would go into that turn

lane and go to the school but, if you're going to the community, you make a left and then you just got straight.
Mr. Valladares: I remember they closed that left turning lane that comes
eastbound and it turns north, the left turn lane from Campbell Drive to the school.
Captain Rodriguez: I think that would create worse traffic, because now what's going to happen is it will back up Campbell Drive, past 137th. Like I said, coming here at 3:30 today, and getting in here, wasn't an issue. As far as you were saying that everybody is involved, I can tell you yesterday at the council meeting it was brought up by Councilwoman Avila, and Councilman Roth, the same concern, so we're all trying to resolve this issue.
Mr. Valladares: Once again, I appreciate your time, you always give us great results, thank you for sharing.
Captain Rodriguez: Thank you.
Mr. Cooper: Jessica Cabrera has joined us for the meeting, so I will turn the meeting over to her.
Ms. Cabrera: I apologize for being late, but I have to go because I have a baseball
game I need to get to but, I did want to take a moment to say thank you to all the Board members and everybody who is present for the time that they put in here, and all their dedication they put in throughout the years. I had to take into consideration things that have been going on right now in my life, and I would like to take the time to submit my resignation at this time. I would appreciate it if the Board would respectfully accept my resignation, and I'm just putting this out there now because I have to go, I have a baseball game.
Mr. Winkeljohn: So, thank you for that and those kind thoughts, I'm sure the Board
deserves them, they work hard, no doubt. The procedures are fairly simple, the Board, by motion, accepts her verbal resignation, and I'll just need you to sign a document that states you've resigned for the physical record but, thank you.
Mr. Cochran: And just as a reminder, I'll say, you need to submit your Form 1F. Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, and I'll make sure she gets that before she leaves.
Mr. Valladares: Can I ask a question, as you said, she has tenured her resignation?

February 23, 2023	South-Dade Venture CDD

Mr.  Winkeljohn:	Yes, she has asked you to make a motion to accept her resignation.
Mr. Valladares: And the Board has to approve it?
Mr. Winkeljohn: It becomes effective with a motion of the Board. Mr. Valladares: So, that would be the motion?
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes sir.
Mr. Valladares: And I didn't hear any motions from the floor.
Mr. Winkeljohn: That's a good point. I don't think you can deny her the ability to resign, what you're doing is you're putting it in the record of when it started, am I accurate on that?
Mr. Cochran: Yes.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Ok.
Mr. Cooper: Jessica, I know you fought long and hard over this, and I know it's a
tough decision, and I know you're doing the best for you and your family and all of that,  so I make a motion to accept your resignation.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Is there a second?
Mr. Valladares: What happens if there's no second?
Mr. Winkeljohn:	With no second the motion can die, but as a matter of proper courtesy to one of your Board members, it's appropriate to accept a resignation.

On MOTION by Mr. Cooper seconded by Mr. Cruz with 2 in favor, and 1 opposed, accepting the resignation of Jessica Cabrera from the South-Dade Venture COD Board of Supervisors, effective immediately was approved.

Mr. Winkeljohn: To the effect of that, obviously, you have a vacancy with seat #4, which I believe expires in November 2024, so there's barely a year left.  So, the Board can choose how it wants to fill that vacancy, there's no written process, it's up to you, if you have somebody in mind that you could fill right away, that's an option. If  you don't, you can table it for every meeting going forward until you find somebody you chose.
Mr. Valladares: Let me ask a question, Ms. Ruiz, would you be in favor  of accepting an appointment to the Board at this time?
Ms. Ruiz: Yes.

Mr. Valladares: I motion to appoint Desiree Ruiz to the Board to fill that vacancy. Mr. Winkeljohn: Is there a second?
Mr. Cooper: I don't even know who she is.
Mr. Winkeljohn: He just gave us her name, and you're a resident I assume, right? Ms. Ruiz: Yes, Portofino Oaks.
Mr. Winkeljohn: And you're a registered voter?
Ms. Ruiz: Yes.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Ok, those are the only requirements.
Mr. Valladares: Do you want to tell us a little bit about yourself?
Mr. Winkeljohn: Well, is there a second to move this motion onto the floor? Right now, we have a motion, and no second, is there a second so we can proceed?
Mr. Cruz: I'll second it.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Thank you. Ok, go ahead. Ms. Ruiz: Hi, I'm Desiree Ruiz.
Mr. Winkeljohn: If you could come up a little bit closer, we record our meetings so your voice will do better up here, thank you.
Ms. Ruiz: Ok. I've been a resident here since, I bought during construction, I live
in Portofino Oaks, and again, I'm Desiree Ruiz. I have 3 girls, I've been part of Portofino Oaks when we had a social committee, as well, so I've been around. I'm always around the neighborhood, and I know most of you here, that live here, and would love to join the Board just to keep the place going forward and maintaining it, and all my concerns are from a resident's perspective. That's all I can say right now.
Mr. Valladares: Thank you.
Mr. Quesada: Desiree has a lake home here and I've interacted with her a few times, just so you guys get to know her, she's been involved when we had some of the green space agreements there along the lake, and I know she's very active jogging throughout the community and exercising, so her and I have talked a few times about lake concerns and that kind of thing, just to give you a little bit of background on her from our point of view, she's been here all this time since I've been here.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Well, she brought pre-construction,so she was here before her house.

Mr. Valladares: Ok, so there was a motion and a second, and the vote was approved?
Mr. Winkeljohn:  Well, there's a motion on the floor, you're basically in discussion,
so you heard from her, the Board would have the opportunity to ask questions or move to a vote.
Mr. Cooper: Well, I'd like to thank you for coming out and putting your name into
consideration for the now newly vacant seat. For me, I've been on the Board since 2007, so I've seen a lot of people in these seats who did this, and those that were here serving with you wind up moving on, especially sporadically like this but, It's always been, for me, wanting to consider as many people as we possibly can, making it open to everybody  that may be interested in the seat, and being able to hear their story as to why they'd like to sit and represent the community in their capacity, so that's kind of me. So, with this being all of the sudden happening again, you sitting here, and not being at any of the meetings on a regular basis, it's just kind of awkward for me, I'm not saying you can't contribute value to this Board.
Ms. Ruiz: Yes, and I was here the last time, and I have been here prior too when we had issues, I have been in past meetings.
Mr. Quesada: She was involved in the last meeting.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Are there any other questions from the Board  or discussion  on the motion? Victor, do you have any other questions or discussion on the motion?
Mr. Valladares: No, I'm satisfied with the motion.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Ok, all those in favor of the appointment of Desiree Ruiz please say aye.
Mr. Valladares: Aye.
Mr. Winkeljohn: All those opposed? Mr. Cooper: Nay.
Mr. Cruz: Nay.
Mr. Winkeljohn:  So, we have two nays, and we don't have anyone on the phone I assume, Miguel is not on there?
Mr. Quesada: No, we just have Michael from Alton Madison.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Ok, so the motion did not pass, so for other purposes, the Board may want to discuss how it would like to handle the filling of this position, some Boards

February 23, 2023	South-Dade Venture CDD

do an advertisement, have an email sent out, they take another meeting to think about it, and pick the people they want, there's no wrong answer how you choose to fill your vacancy. Like I'm saying, all of it's a good idea but, it's up to you to sort of talk among yourselves, and right now we just lost quorum for the moment.
Mr. Cruz: That's what I want to do, talk about it.
Mr. Winkeljohn: And I don't think you're taking it the wrong way, so I appreciate

that.

Ms. Ruiz: That's fine.
Mr. Cooper: Everything happened so fast, I think it would be nice to digest and

kind of think about it.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Very well. So, at this time we don't have quorum so we can certainly have normal discussions but, no actions can be taken until Victor returns.  If he is going to, I don't know where he went, he's behind me if anywhere, I can't see him.
Mr. Quesada: Can we have Councilman Roth maybe address the Board? Mr. Winkeljohn: Sure, it's up to the chairman.
Mr. Cooper: I know we just had Captain Rodriguez present, is there anybody from the school I guess that wanted to talk?
Mr. Winkeljohn: I don't know, I heard there was somebody coming but, I don't see
anybody yet, I don't know. Do you want to have the commissioner say hi?
Mr. Cooper: Sure, the floor is yours. We actually have Patricia Faircloth here as
well.
Mr. Roth:   I don't have a lot, the city has been going through our normal course  of
business. Last time I was here we talked about the Chief and the renaming of the police station after him, this month on the 28th. So, I would invite you all to come out to the ceremony where we're going to be putting the plaque on the building, naming the building after the Chief at 4:30 p.m. at the Homestead Police  Station, I'm sure you know where it is but, I really don't have much more than that. I know my colleague here, she has some events she'd like to talk about but, there's other events going on this weekend, so if she wanted to speak about those I was going to let her do that but, we have on 25th, Saturday, we're having a street renaming ceremony for a teacher that spent a lot of time at Homestead K-8, and we're naming a street after him, I think it's SW 14th Avenue,  it runs  adjacent  to the school.   We'll be  having  a ceremony  there  from,  I think  it's 10:00

o'clock to 12:00 noon. Then an organization called Kicks is celebrating their 30th anniversary, and they've been doing a lot of stuff in the SW section as well, at their building on Mallory Drive and 10th Avenue from 3:00 p.m. until about 6:00 p.m., so if you all want to come out and partake in some of those activities you're welcome to attend. So, that's all I have for now. Do you have any questions for me? I know we lost quorum, it's been a very emotional day, I didn't realize this was going to happen.
Mr. Winkeljohn: None of us did, don't worry. Thank you, sir.
Mr. Cooper: I do have one question, and it's in regards to the roads, I know you guys don't oversee the roads, or whether you have a voice in that, it seems like as these companies are adding on, and they're digging up, they're placing the roads back like horribly, and all the vehicles are continuously driving over it, and it's causing damage to everybody's vehicle. So, I don't know if there's a way to hold somebody accountable for the way they repair them when they trench them up for lines for the sewer or whatever.
Mr. Roth: Right, and some of that came up last night in our meeting. (inaudible comment) Usually, once we say something at least stuff begins to happen.
Mr. Cooper: Ok.
Mr. Roth: You're right in some respect, we're not responsible for all of the roads in the city but, some of the roads we are responsible for. I would say once we get inside the community here, it's a different story, but anything outside on Campbell, may be the county, but we've had contractors that have broken cable lines, and sewer lines, and water lines, and once we're made aware of it, we can get right on those vendors and get them back out there to service that, and make repairs on the roads. There's a lot of activity that goes on without our knowledge, there's contractors that work for the cable companies, for FPL, for the telephone companies, that actually come out and do work sometimes without confirming it with us, if we can, we get them to confirm. When  you see an Xfinity truck, or an FPL truck, or a contractor, or one of these guys, you automatically think they're there doing what they're supposed to be doing but, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are. So, if you see something, say something, and call one of us, we can always verify if they have a permit pulled if they're supposed to be doing that work there, especially if they're tearing up the sidewalks and things like that because those create hazards. It happens in my neighborhood, it happens in  all  the neighborhoods but, once you notify us we can get out there and find out what's actually

going on but, make sure you contact us, you have my email, you have my phone number, just call me, anytime day or night, it doesn't matter, and we'll respond and we'll do the best we can to get the right people in the right places to do the right things and fix whatever has been damaged or destroyed.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Thank you.
Ms. Fairclough: Hello, good evening, everyone . I am councilwoman Patricia Fairclough and I'm your neighbor across the street in Oasis, and I've been in  office almost 12 years and I'm termed out in November, and it's such a pleasure to be here in Waterstone. I'd just like to thank you for your services, this is not easy, you go through your ebbs and flows with it but, it's all worth it, there's still value even though we go through some turbulent times, so thank you so much for that. I'm here today because I understand there were some issues with the school, and the traffic, and I know that very intimately because I'm also a school principal, I'm  at a school that is landlocked, I have no buses, 600 kids, everybody comes by car, so we had to get very creative with our routes in and out, in order to make sure that we weren't a hindrance to those neighbors who had been living there forever. So, I wanted to come here to hear what some of the unique concerns were, and how I can support the school, as well as the community because the school shouldn't be a barrier, the traffic shouldn't be a barrier, and I'm sure that it is right now. So, I'm here for any questions that you may have, I'm always at your service by email, phone call, or text message, and I'm happy to be your neighbor and I'm always willing to serve.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Thank you.
Mr. Cooper: There was a, with regards to the school, and I think this would be phase 1 I would think, of trying to make things flow a little bit better. There was a suggestion by a resident years ago, and I have a picture of it here, and this is 312th Street over here, and so this would be the south side of the school, and it would be basically them kind of making a way that would be the new entrance coming into the school, and that flow would continue to make it out.
Mr. Winkeljohn: And for the record Curtis, that's the off-Campbell concept?
Mr. Cooper: Yes, the off-Campbell concept, and then this way the residents can make a left into the community, and not have a second lane.

Ms. Fairclough: So, multiple agencies would have to be involved in order to be able to pull this off.
Mr. Roth: Yes.
Ms. Fairclough: I thought a School Board member was to be here today because she has to be involved, as well as Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
Mr. Winkeljohn: No, actually that school, the reason it doesn't have circulation, they never put it on their system as a regulated traffic pattern, that's why it didn't exist, and I'll give you a small commercial for this community here, we spent over a million and a half dollars fixing that mistake for this community to be able to get to its own entrance, so it's a weird one.
Ms. Fairclough: Yes, so since that caveat is in there, the School District has no
purview at all over that, and I'm not even sure the city has any.
Mr.  Winkeljohn:  It's all county. Ms. Fairclough: Oh, it's all county.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, and Curtis and I have been working on this, I started in 2005, we've had the county track the people through this at least 5 times and had very little results, we wanted a traffic light, and they gave the light to Malibu which was fascinating. There were more than 10 mistakes that I can name off the top of my head with that decision, the light over here was supposed to be the light here, but they got the address wrong, and so they put that light in first, and this one never met the warrants because after some things developed it has to meet a warrant to do traffic changes, so you know how that works.
Mr. Cooper: And they did it during the summer when there was no school.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, they did the traffic study during the summer. Ms. Fairclough: They should have done it in the fall.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, and traffic engineers are amazing at that ability to pick the worse possible time, anyway, all said, we're all together in this, and we'd love some help because we've gotten nowhere.
Mr. Cooper: We're waiting for the new traffic pattern that we've got going on now
but, obviously I'm sure it's affecting maybe the parents more from the school side, I think.
Mr. Roth: I think it's actually working better for the school now, and it's inconveniencing some residents but, we're going to try this out and then still work with the

other suggestion with the school, and I'll talk to the vice president in charge of the associates and see what we can do.
Ms. Fairclough:	What is their position because they need to be at the table as
well.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes, and the school, historically, there was a lot of cooperation,
there's been some dips here and there but, generally they've added an off-duty officer through an arrangement with the city, like the city and the school worked together to say, hey we have to fix this, the school agreed to add an officer, plus ours, that we've already funded. We've done a lot of things, and they re-racked the school when they switched from a middle school to a K-8, that changed the whole dynamic because the number of bodies that were being driven to school changed.
Ms. Fairclough: And what's the population, I mean their enrolment? Mr. Quesada: I want to say it was like 1,000.
Mr. Cooper: It was like around 1,100.
Mr. Winkeljohn: And I think it used to be about 400 but, there isn't a great piece of information into any of this story, there was some good cooperation, a lot of money was spent, and a lot of people's time.
Ms. Fairclough: What I do see is it's controlled but the stacking it's just terrible. Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, it was not designed properly.
Ms. Fairclough: And is this stager pickups?
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes, but the 3:30 people come, they all come at 2:30.
Ms. Fairclough: So, if you don't mind, I can work on my end, and reach out to the county commission.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes, I think that's the key.
Ms. Fairclough: Because this isn't going to work.
Mr. Winkeljohn: I think the domino effect has to be political through the county.
Mr. Cooper:  And that may not be the answer, and there might be something that is a better answer but, that was just a thought, and there were talks about maybe potentially putting a roundabout there so you could queue it up to that side.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Well, we already put one in. Mr. Cooper: Not on 312th though.

Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, I know that this community funded one of them, we funded the electronic crosswalk, and the school zone, those were not even there, we put those in, and we actually contacted the School Board so they would take them over to put on their system, so they turn on when school goes in and out. So, I've never seen anything like it, and I have 200 communities throughout Florida with schools in them.
Ms. Fairclough: I have 557 kids at my school, and this school has 1,200, so I would initiate those conversations with Commissioner Higgins, and I know this is  a priority for this community so something has to be done because this here is not going to work.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, it was an oversight mistake from the very beginning, and
we've made great solutions out of it but, there's so much more to do.
Ms. Fairclough: They should have added those student stations as well. So, who would be the contact person?
Mr. Winkeljohn: Well, from the community, you can either talk to our chairman, or
me, the District manager, or any of our staff, we will all work with you.
Ms. Fairclough: Ok.
Mr. Cooper: So, the previous meeting I had with, and this was years ago, with the previous mayor, his suggestion was when I sat down with him, and I forgot the gentleman who was in charge of traffic because the city owns it, filling in the lake that was there.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Right, we actually did a study to see how much of that lake we could give up because the lake capacity in this community is way past what we're required, we've never had any flooding because the lakes didn't have enough capacity, so we're pretty sure, engineering-wise we could offer some of that capacity and fill in part of that lake to create the pattern we've been thinking of, so this community, and I'm speaking on behalf of 15 years of history, is willing to do anything to help.
Ms. Fairclough: Something has to be done.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes. So, for the Board's sake, obviously, we lost quorum, so  we're in what you might call a workshop session. My advice and I really apologize up front to Kevin for being here, so I don't recommend you go through the workshop concept of the security discussion without at least the whole Board here or one person more maybe because you'll just have to repeat it because it's really important.
Mr. Wimberly: Ok.

Mr. Cooper: And Miguel is not on the line, right?
Mr. Winkeljohn: No, but informationally speaking I think you're just going to  have to repeat what you say, so that's my advice.
Mr. Wimberly: I agree.
Mr. Winkeljohn: So, basically, I want to talk as your manager just a minute from a budget perspective, you know we've been absorbing a lot of labor cost increases since COVID, we haven't had an assessment change since Irma, and those related to Irma. Recovered that money but, we spent that money back into the community to replant but, every one of your contractors, particularly security which is the biggest one we hire. Law enforcement, our off-duty patrol, we know that rate went up, our rates went up, everybody's rates went up, so this budget cycle is going to be painful and difficult, so I'm just going to put that out there upfront. BrightView did not get a raise through the entire COVID, and they're all labor, and they're bleeding, and so we have to negotiate like a big-picture strategy together. So, at our next meeting, I'll bring some budget drafts that I wouldn't get too attached to but, we'll try to figure out some ways to make the money work. What we're going to talk about with Kevin is  kind of part of that, so that might be like the beginning of our next meeting, and then maybe we can get our sleeves rolled up and talk budget afterwards. I'm going to meet with Maverick, Ben and I and Mayra are going to meet as staff, and really try to use all of the techniques that we know of to help them. I don't like them coming to the meetings and doing that at the meeting, we should handle that at a staff level, and get those management problems  solved. They just go in a habit because they just got tired of coming to you guys for the meetings  but, I don't work that way, you know that, so I put an end to that today. I'll bring you back our staff's observations and understanding of what they can and can't do, what Kevin  will come back with, the kiosk idea, and I think we'll put together something for you for that budget, then you do your hard part. So, that's sort of how I'm seeing our next meeting.
Mr. Wimberly: Ok, that works.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Is there any other direction to staff on this topic or any other? Not hearing any, that's all I have.
Mr. Cooper: I was going to say something but since we don't have quorum.
Mr. Winkeljohn: No, you're allowed to talk about it, you give staff direction to say, get the word out, like we can do that, but you can't vote today, obviously, without a

quorum, but every level works. In your community, most of your residents are experienced residents, and obviously, you have transit people, like this young lady who has been here longer than us, so I think you're going to be fine. If we were a brand new District, I'd be more worried but, you have history, you have a way of doing things, you have really highly trained experienced staff, so I don't think you can go wrong.
Mr. Cooper: So, I guess it would be nice just to get the word out, and then at the next meeting we'll have the ability to jump into it.
Mr. Winkeljohn: And obviously, Desiree could come back, and our March meeting
is the fifth Thursday of the month.
Mr. Quesada:	Typically, it's the fourth Thursday, but this one we made an exception for spring break.
Ms. Ruiz: Right, ok.
Mr. Cooper: And it's 3:00 o'clock. Mr. Quesada: Yes.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Yes, we moved it up. So, unless you have other things you want to chat about, I would adjourn.
Mr. Cooper: Do we want to talk about any clubhouse stuff in regard to the pool or
any information items?
Mr. Quesada: Just pool related-wise, they found one more gutter leak which the pool is open now, and you have a zigzagging crack in the diamond bright, they already went with underwater plaster, and they did a really good job of sealing one but, we're still losing water, so we're trying to get that taken care of, it's like triage right now just to get your water bill under control but, I'll be happy to show you guys if you want. You have  one crack in one corner, it's very difficult to see in the middle but, when they dive in the pool you can see it, and it's not a straight line so it makes fixing and repairing it difficult. We're trying the best we can because as you just heard, we're having budget discussions now, re-diamond bright your pool anywhere in the $40,000 to $50,000 range, we're trying to patch it up, get ready for spring break, then have a long-term plan on fixing it, and hopefully, we can talk about that at the next meeting, and we can get to the next fiscal year to address that. So, that's where we're at now but, the pool is open, and we do have enough water, and as soon as I get any notification that they're going to be able to come back and dive the pool to fix that crack, hopefully, we're trying not to just throw money at

the problem, we're trying to be strategic about it. As far as the clubhouse, we did speak individually to all the Board members as far as the flooring project which you all approved, and there was a slight increase as I suspected because we had this bid out over a year ago and the numbers are within Paul's discretionary, so if it's ok with you  guys just to get the ball rolling, I know we have an event here on April 1st, there is a sample on the wall there. We did an extra one today if you guys want to take a look, let me know, and we can meet with everybody individually offline and see if anybody has a change of heart. Other than that, that's all I have.
Mr. Cooper: What was the cost that was accrued versus what it should cost?
Mr. Quesada: We were at $27,000 and now it's $29,200 to be exact, and by the way, we never talked about painting the walls in our initial proposal, so one of the main reasons for the change in price is we never included the walls, it was all chair rail panels, floorboards, and flooring. Now, that we're adding the walls to the equation, that was the biggest reason for the change in price.
Mr. Cooper: And the other ones that submitted proposals didn't have the walls in there either, correct?
Mr. Quesada: They did not have the walls in there either, so had apples to apples all the way up until this point when we included the walls.
Mr. Cooper: Ok.
Mr. Winkeljohn: Ok, thank you.
