THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Heron Bay Boulevard Phase VI

A. Award of Contract to Florida Sewer and Water in the Amount of $1,695,849.75

B. Work Authorization No. 88 Contract Administration and Construction Observation Services

C. Funding Agreements No. 334 and 335 with WCI Communities, Inc.

Ms. Early stated the contract is for the last leg of Heron Bay Boulevard and the District's portion of this contract is for the water and sewer portion. The paving and drainage portion is WCI. This will require a funding agreement with WCI and we recommend awarding the contract to Florida Sewer & Water. They have done Pods 1, 2, 3, and 4 and they are doing the Cove and the Greens that we discussed at the March meeting. Work Authorization No. 88 is for engineering services during construction and Funding Agreements 334 and 335 covers the District's portion of the contract.

On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the contract for Heron Bay Boulevard Phase VI was awarded to Florida Sewer & Water in the amount of their low bid of $1,695,849.75, Work authorization No. 88 and Funding Agreements 334 and 335 were approved.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Work Authorization No. 89 to Prepare Construction Drawings for Excavation of Approximately 138 Acres of Lakes and Drainageways within Parkland Country Club and Engineering Design Agreement No. 333

Ms. Early stated Parkland Country Club is the remaining area in Supplement No. 3A and this work authorization is to do the lake design.

Ms. Archer stated we are talking about and working on a future bond issue to pay for that water management system. An integral part of the sizing of that bond issue is getting an idea of what the design is going to be.

Mr. Grossjung asked who will ultimately pay for the construction drawings?

Ms. Early stated WCI is funding it and they will be reimbursed from the bond issue. There is a little bit of money left in Supplement 3 and a portion will be out of each of the supplements.

Ms. Archer stated we have already issued a piece of the Supplement 3 Bonds but we validated a lot more because we knew we had to do the water management system in Supplement 3A.

Mr. Grossjung asked what is the timing of that bond issue?

Ms. Archer responded I believe we will close on that this calendar year.

On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor Work authorization no. 89 and engineering Design Agreement No. 333 were approved.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Surface Water Management Permit Request for Southwind at Sawgrass Center

Ms. Early stated they are not connected to the North Springs system yet because there is no drainage areas to drain into. They have a private system and we have to incorporate what they are proposing with their existing overall private system to make sure it works. I ask that you approve this subject to our final review and approval of the calculations. When Heron Bay Commercial comes on line there will be an easement for them if they choose to connect through that easement. We have made that available if they want to do that. They have designed the system where they do not have to connect if they don't want to spend the money to put in a pipe to outfall into a District canal but they will have that option in the future.

Ms. Archer stated the trade-off is probably the land where the lake currently exists. If some day they want to fill it in and put in a parking lot, they will come back to us to connect.

On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the surface water management permit was approved for Southwind at Sawgrass Center subject to final review and approval of Gee & Jenson of the drainage calculations,

A. Attorney

B. Engineer

There not being any, the next item followed.

C. Superintendent

Ms. Archer stated last month we asked you to approve an Interlocal Agreement between the North Springs Improvement District and the City of Parkland to provide water and sewer service outside of our boundaries. I am distributing an Amendment to our Large User Agreement with Broward County that allows us to send all of our wastewater to Broward County for treatment and disposal. Every time we amend the boundaries of our service area, we have to amend the Large User Agreement to include those new boundaries. The map attached to the Amendment shows the small piece of land where we are asking to amend our boundaries to provide service outside our current service area which is known as Parkland Magic. We have entered into this exact agreement to amend our boundaries in the past when we have brought in additional land that we annexed into the District.

On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the Fourth Amendment to the Large User Agreement was approved.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisor's Requests and Audience Comments
