Staff Reports

District Counsel -

District Engineer -

No report.

Mr. Engel gave an update on the Brightwood and Riverfield resident concerns with the ponds and their levels. He noted they have been inspected and will be creating a memo summary by the end of the week.	'

Mr. Engel gave an overview of the Brightwood summary related to the ponds and their levels. He noted the ponds in Brightwood are at their right levels for the season, but there is drainage being diverted due to the construction. Therefore, the ponds are higher than they normally would be for the season, which has killed the sod along the banks.

Mr. Williams noted the Bahia sod should come back once the water has returned to their normal levels.

Mr. Engel gave an overview of the Riverfield summary related to the ponds and their levels. He noted the ponds were slightly above level in some areas, but others were where they should be for the season. The water levels have been held up due to the downstream

system and the vegetation has died to being covered by the water. He is going to review this area again to confirm the issues. It was noted the Buffalo Canal system may need maintenance in some areas and is still recovering from storms, which back-floods the lakes.

There was brief discussion regarding Buffalo Canal and the issues. It was noted that Buffalo Canal is a Manatee County conduit. The Board recommended reaching out to Manatee County to notify them of the issues and to request a summary of their current and future plans. Mr. Engel noted there is construction happening downstream that may be causing the problems as well.

There was also brief discussion regarding the issues related to the aquifer and if charting the aquifer levels would be necessary. Mr. Engel noted this is completely linked to the Buffalo Canal, not the aquifers.

When Mr. Engel provides his summary and receives a response from the County, the Board will move forward with a proposal for next steps.

District Manager -

Ms. Carvalho stated the next Board Meeting will be October 8, 2025, at the same location. New calendar invites are forthcoming.

Ms. Snow noted it has already been cleaned up as it could have caused damage to the pond and surrounding area.

ON MOTION by Mr. Williams, seconded by Mr. Blakley, with all in favor, the Board approved the Fee for Pond Frond Dumping to be assessed to the Resident in the amount of $240.00.

Ms. Carvalho noted the responsibility of Field Services will be transitioning to an onsite representative and she has been working with the Development team to hire this person. Mr. Ramer will be the new Field Services representative starting October 1. She
