Agreement for Roadway and Surface Water Management System Maintenance Services
Mr. deNagy stated this agreement is an outdated agreement that has since been replaced by an interlocal agreement with Rivers Edge II and III.
Ms. Henley stated this agreement was to be null and void upon certain events, all those events happened so we are not terminating anything that was in effect. It was still showing up in public records and clouding property titles, so this document just formally memorializes the termination of the agreement in the public records.
Mr. Baron stated Rivers Edge owns seven or eight roads. Do we need coverage on CDD 1 specific to those roads?
Ms. Henley stated that would have all been considered when you entered into the interlocal cost-share agreement with the other two districts, that is what replaced the agreement we are talking about. This document does not change anything about the current setup of how we are sharing costs.

FOURTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Audience Comments
Mr. Shiver stated I’m an assistant coach for the Hallowes Cove Academy football team and we have been put into a situation where we do not have space, similar to Bartram Trail not having a swimming pool. We are desperate, we have great group of 11 & 12 year olds and we would like to be able to utilize District property for football practices. We are not asking for exclusive access. We are happy to share the field at any time but would like the ability to utilize the field space. We are more than happy to pay if that is required, we are volunteer coaches, we are not making money so revenue sharing wouldn’t apply but we are happy to rent the space and contribute to the cost of maintenance. We have no intent to play games on district property, we will not invite other teams onto district property, it is just our team for practice.
Mr. Maynard asked what are staff’s concerns?
Mr. Losco stated on Mondays we have a license agreement with Soccer Shots to use the field, not to share the field. We are also concerned with practicing with children, it is full tackle. We are worried about footballs hitting children, etc. tearing up the grass, maintenance issues and the issue of footballs flying around and the children.

Mr. Baron asked for a temporary solution is there another field you could use other than this field.
Mr. Shiver stated we are happy with whatever field you can provide. Ms. Henley asked are you with a school or is this a private organization?
Mr. Shiver stated it is a non-profit organization that is partnering with schools for outdoor
sports.
Ms. Henley stated the school swim team that uses the pool, we have a license agreement
with the school board for that.
Mr. Shiver stated in this case it wouldn’t apply because it is a separate non-profit entity.
Ms. Henley asked is there a scheduling conflict if we pushed it back to the May 21st meeting? It sounds like we need to work out scheduling and other things with Vesta.
Mr. Shiver stated we are in a time crunch, but I understand how this process works.
Mr. Davidson stated I have seen this done in other districts, there is one currently in St. Johns County and they have dropped perimeters around their soccer fields so they are able to utilize half the soccer field as a pilot program. It has worked out well so far in that district.

On MOTION by Mr. Maynard seconded by Mr. Baron with all in favor district counsel was authorized to prepare a temporary license agreement with Hallowes Cove Academy football program for spring football practices through May 11, 2025, subject to coordination with Vesta and the chair was authorized to execute the agreement.
