OLD BUSINESS
Update Regarding Monitoring of Refunding Series 2013 Bonds (MBS Capital Markets, LLC)

Ms. Nguyen presented a chart from MBS Capital Markets, LLC showing improving market interest rates (3.58% on 12/30/22). Ms. Nguyen explained that the market would need to continue to improve for the District to realize net present value savings. Ms. Nguyen stated that MBS Capital Markets, LLC would continue to monitor the market on the District’s behalf.

Ms. Delgado requested that Ms. Nguyen confirm that the District was not in the process of refunding the Series 2013 Bonds and that MBS Capital Markets, LLC was just monitoring the market on the behalf of the District. Ms. Nguyen confirmed Ms. Delgado’s statement and further explained that the Series 2013 Bonds mature on May 1, 2028, and will be callable at the option of the District on or after May 1, 2023. The purpose of engaging MBS Capital Markets, LLC to monitor the market is to be able to take advantage of favorable conditions, should they arise. Members of the public asked how much this was going to cost the District, and Ms. Nguyen informed them that the monitoring comes

at no cost to the District. Mr. Pawelczyk explained that the District was not obligated to refund the bonds even if the market favors it. More information on this item will be provided at future meetings.

Update Regarding Lake Bank Erosion Engineer Investigation

Ms. Nguyen recommended that the District contact Landshore Enterprises, LLC (Landshore) to assist with the evaluation of lake bank erosion. Ms. Nguyen explained that Landshore was a reputable company and had worked alongside the District Engineer, Alvarez Engineers, in other communities to determine a plan of action for lake bank erosion. Ms. Nguyen explained that she would schedule a meeting with Landshore representatives and request a proposal for their recommended services. More information on this item will be provided at a future meeting.

Discussion Regarding Additional Surveillance Cameras in the Sienna Subdivision

Ms. Nguyen reminded the Board of Mr. Antonio Delgado’s attendance during the October 25, 2022, meeting. Ms. Nguyen explained that Mr. Delgado requested that the District seek alternative locations to install additional surveillance cameras in the Sienna subdivision. During the October 25, 2022, meeting, the Board reminded Mr. Delgado that the District conducted an inspection of possible surveillance camera installation locations and it was determined that the other locations would be too costly for the District because electricity was not easily accessible, in addition to the installation of a storm resistant pole and the system components. Mr. Delgado disagreed with the Board and requested that the District seek alternative locations. The Board directed Ms. Nguyen to meet with Mr. Delgado on-site to go over this item.

Ms. Nguyen reported that following the October 25, 2022, meeting, she scheduled an on-site meeting with Mr. Delgado and that during the meeting she provided Mr. Delgado with the documentation that was presented to the Board when this item was first brought up. Ms. Nguyen explained that the documentation presented to Mr. Delgado reflected that the District sought alternative locations and it was determined that the project would be too costly. Ms. Nguyen and Mr. Delgado mutually agreed that the costs would be presented to the Board at the next meeting.

At this time, Ms. Nguyen presented the Board with a map reflecting the alternative locations as well as a cost estimate schedule. The cost estimate for two poles, electrical feed to provide power for the cameras, four cameras, and the permitting for the installation would be approximately $50,000. A discussion ensued, after which:

A motion was made by Mr. Medina, seconded by Mr. Borrazas and unanimously passed to table this item to a future meeting.

Mr. Medina stated that any items that have come before the Board in the past have been carefully deliberated with plans often requested from the District Engineer or other professionals to aid in determining necessity and/or feasibility.

NEW BUSINESS
Consider Resolution No. 2023-02 – Adopting a Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Proposed Budget

Ms. Nguyen informed that Board that due to the anticipated lake bank project, she increased the Lake Tracts/Shoreline Restoration budget line as well as the Engineering budget line. Ms. Nguyen advised that since the overall proposed assessments were not increasing in the fiscal year 2023/2024, letters to the residents would not be required.

Ms. Nguyen also confirmed that the District’s budget includes sufficient funds for the budget line, and that the increase in billing rates would not affect the District’s budget. As per Alvarez Engineers, the billing rates will be reviewed again after a period of five (5) years. A discussion ensued, after which:

Mr. Pawelczyk further explained that although the firm was mindful of the necessity to keep increases in the District’s expenses, including the cost of legal services, to a minimum, it has become necessary for the firm to adjust their hourly rates, effective April 1, 2023.

Ms. Nguyen confirmed that the District’s budget includes sufficient funds for the legal budget line, and that the increase in billing rates will not affect the District’s budget.

A motion was made Mr. Medina, seconded by Ms. Delgado and unanimously passed accepting the updated billing rates proposed by Billing, Cochran, Lyles, Mauro & Ramsey, P.A..

ADD-ON: Discussion Regarding Road Hazards (Security Golf Cart)

Ms. Nguyen stated that this item was added to the agenda at the request of Mr. Medina.

Ms. Nguyen stated that she will continue to communicate complaints with the Master Association Manager and request that this be addressed immediately.

Standard Paragraphs:
The Standard Form of Agreement between Venetian Isles Community Development District, Inc., Owner, further referred as “Client” and Landshore® Enterprises, LLC for technical-engineering services related to construction, design-built services and professional services for Professional Services as published by the National Society of Professional Engineers, The American Consulting Engineers Council and The American Society of Civil Engineers shall govern all aspects, disputes and responsibilities with respect to this contract Document EJCDC E-500, latest edition.

All technical-engineering services, design-built (D-B) services or professional services requested by the Client or government agencies having jurisdiction, which are not specifically outlined in the contract, or requested by the Client as a revision in the scope of the Project will be performed by contract addendum at an agreed upon price or the same will be accomplished at the contract’s hourly rates.

It is understood that the selection decision for a contract award may be based on the best value to the Owner from the combination of quality, management expertise, and price, but not necessarily the lowest price or on the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal.

Design by the D-B contractor usually takes place before and sometimes during construction activities in the D-B contract. When a design is being developed concurrent with construction activities, this is called the "fast-track" approach. The fast-track approach is commonly used to combine design and construction time, which results in the project being completed in a shorter time period. Fast-track approach allows the D-B contractor to design portions of the work, start construction on those designs completed, and continue work while reviewing and designing other portions of the work.

In the Design-Build process, final design solutions are provided by the D-B contractor, not the Client, since the main

Landshore®  Enterprises, LLC

It is understood that information will be collected by Landshore® Enterprises, LLC at the request of the Client, for his/her personal use such as providing more accurate estimate and submittal to the government agencies may require different standard or format.

Although every reasonable attempt will be made to present data as accurate as possible Landshore® Enterprises, LLC makes no guarantees concerning its measuring, findings or any irregularities of the lake bottom or other parts of this project. By accepting this proposal or distributing information depicted on any plans and documents prepared by Landshore® Enterprises, LLC to other parties the recipient hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landshore® Enterprises, LLC harmless and to waive to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim resulting from damages, losses and expenses, including attorneys’ fees arising out of or resulting from usage of this information, or cause of action of any nature against Landshore® Enterprises, LLC.
