$45,000.
The board and staff discussed the differences between private security and off-duty officers, purpose, budget limitations, having a pool of money/hours to draw from rather than specific hours and to solicit input from community after which Mr. Saks was authorized to work with staff to bring back a scope of services to be considered with the same budget limitations.

General Manager - Report
Mr. Fagen stated I want to introduce Clint Waugh our new lifestyle director from South Carolina. He has a great deal of experience and is learning the ropes and getting to meet a lot a residents. I encourage you to meet him and spend as much time as you would like.
Mr. Howell stated we had a contract with Crown but with the nature of the industry we are having difficulty getting them to respond and they were having to order the new valve system to replace the current system and they were going to remove all the equipment tear out the old slab put in a new slab put the equipment back in and install the new system. While that was being ordered and constructed from Compac we looked at having the pool being closed approaching Memorial Day weekend as well as having the swim team starting right after that.
We were able to do a temporary repair and have it running on a temporary basis, the four valves came in and in the process instead of installing that now since they are not able to get to the total project of removing and replacing the slab for a while we thought it was smart to hold off on that installation. I spoke with the owner of Crown Pools this past Friday, and we decided to call Ram Jack who does subsurface on concrete foundations, and they are scheduled to come out next

week to give us some guidance and once that is done, we are going to schedule the valve to come in. We think this may he a permanent fix based on their analysis and it could conceivably save us some money.
Mr. McIntyre stated we are looking at a potential fix by Ram Jack opposed to ripping out
the slab.
Mr. Howell stated yes.
Ms. Gentry stated we did enter into a contract with Crown Pools for what we previously thought was the scope of work for that $35,700. We will need a motion from the board to allow staff to modify that as needed and enter into a new contract with Ram Jack as needed not to exceed the previous amount.

On MOTION by Mr. Baron seconded by Mr. McIntyre with all in favor staff was directed to modify the contract with Crown Pools to reflect using Ram Jack Foundation Solutions, and to enter into a new contract with Ram Jack in an amount for the total project not to exceed $35,700.

Mr. Zach Davidson stated at the last meeting Supervisor Saks requested that we check out putting in bollards around the hill to prevent golf cart traffic. We walked the area, and we have one quote to install four-steel bollards in the areas we looked at and the estimate is $1,800. I'm asking for approval.
Mr. Baron asked what was the benefit of using steel over wood?
Mr. Zach Davidson responded we can use wood, but we are trying to go into the asphalt to lock them off.
Mr. McIntyre asked do you have an estimate to fix the damage done to the hill?
Mr. Zach Davidson stated it was $600 to replace it last time. The suggestion was to flat top that hill and add a sandbox, the kids don't have anywhere to dig, or we can resod it and put a sign on it that says, no digging.
Mr. Beladi stated I agree that is a good option because they have used that hill as a sandbox
since I have been here and every year we have to go in, repack the top of the hill, resod it. They dig up the irrigation and it washed out the sod, it has been a nightmare.
Mr. Zach Davidson stated I will come back with a proposal. I just wanted to run this past
you.

On MOTION by Mr. Saks seconded by Mr. Cameron with all in favor staff was authorized to contract for the purchase of four-steel bollards in the amount of $1,800.

Mr. Stillwell stated I recommend that when those bollards are going in especially on the path that we do some kind of temporary sign or something ahead of time and the conununication in an email blast, so nobody runs into one of those.
Mr. Cameron stated rather than painting no carts on the path going to Publix can we put a sign saying it is against the law to be on that path? I saw a cart flying towards Publix and another cart coming back slowly and they were in a blind comer, and they almost hit each other.
Mr. Stillwell stated I reconunend we put the stenciling down on that path. We could add an additional sign, but Longleaf Pine is a county road so we can do it for education, so the people know.
Mr. Baron stated Mattamy has property that goes up to the Rivertown sign, could you make
up a sign saying you are leaving Rivertown property and ordinance XXX is in effect.
Mr. Stillwell stated in this situation less is more and the red circle with a line through it is probably the most effective. We have the stencils and at the welcome center a sign that says no golf carts is my reconunendation. Referencing ordinances and everything is asking people to look it up. My recommendation is a sign that you are leaving a CDD roadway.
Mr. Barnes asked will you bring back a proposal for signage? Mr. Stillwell stated yes.

letter and give it to you.
