SECRETARY’S REPORT:
Trustee Osborne read the meeting minutes from October 10th, 2023. A motion was made by Trustee Terri to accept the minutes. Trustee Carey seconded.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Our account balance as of 9/30/2023 was $17,549.47, with an ending balance of $15,963.85 as of 10/31/2023.
The following bills have been accrued since the last meeting and are presented for payment:
- $50 to Trustee Morgado for filing permit for conduit/boring work (paid 10/10/23)
- $29.87 TECO (October 23’) inclusive of $28.53 past due
Trustee Golson made a motion to approve the above payments, seconded by Trustee Terri. The board unanimously approves.
OLD BUSINESS:
Both trustee Golson and trustee Terri contacted Bay to Bay Environmental regarding the payment portal with no response. As far as we know, they have come for treatment twice and we have made payment twice. But it needs another treatment. Last known treatment was July 23, so next quarterly treatment should have been this month. Trustee Golson and Trustee Terri to contact again.
Trustee Morgado filed for a permit for the directional boring project. The tracking/receipt/documentation for this permit will be sent to Tampa Irrigation Services, LLC so the firm can get re-engaged on the project. Tampa Irrigation Services, LLC has gone silent and we feel it was due to them wanting to see progress on the permit.
Trustee Carey reiterated that we are still on the list for the sidewalk repair at the turn of the year when County funds are budgeted.
Trustee Bennick makes motion to retain/elect the same Officer positions into the FY24 period as currently held:
- Trustee Morgado- President
- Trustee Terri – Vice President
- Trustee Golson- Treasurer
- Trustee Osborne- Secretary
Trustee Cinquegrano seconds the motion. All Trustee terms are currently thru September 2024 or later, so were not extended at this time. All Trustees desire to remain on the board.
NEW BUSINESS:
Stoney filed $50 for the permitting on behalf of the County, will have to pay another $50 or $100 to pay. It appears from the online portal says that is says awaiting response from client. Trustee Bennick to contact the company listed, QYPSYS, LLC, as well as the County to inquire if any action is needed by the District.
The board received an email from the County that our Tarawood FY24 budget has been approved. Trustee Osborne provided this update for those that had not seen.
Trustee Osborne/Golson to reach out to CPA regarding completion of 23 AFR of which documentation was sent to CPA in October and AFR due to County by end of November. .
