FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration  of  Towing  Enforcement
Agreement with Ranches at Lake McLeod Community Association
Ms. Adams reported that the Board previously adopted the CDD parking rules in November and that implementation is underway. The Board had also previously approved a towing services agreement with Bolton’s. Required towing signage had been installed at community entrances; supplemental parking enforcement signage approved by the Board remained in progress. The District Manager further reported that, once installation of the signage is complete, the District will be positioned to enter into an enforcement agreement with the Homeowners Association, allowing HOA’s security personnel to patrol the community, issue parking warnings on behalf of the District, and contact Bolton’s for towing services when necessary. Staff noted a scrivener's correction was needed to revise a county reference from Lake County to Polk County. The Homeowners Association reviewed the agreement and had no comments.
Mr. Watts provided a general overview of the proposed enforcement agreement, explaining that it would delegate authority to the Homeowners Association to partner with the District in enforcement of the adopted towing rules. He stated that the agreement sets forth the HOA’s responsibilities in providing those services, clarifies that the HOA would operate independently of the District in a contractor-like capacity, and includes customary insurance and related contractual provisions. Counsel further recommended approval of the agreement subject to revision of the reference from Lake County to Polk County.

On MOTION by Mr. Adam Morgan, seconded by Ms. Dudley, with all in favor, the Towing Enforcement Agreement with Ranches at Lake McLeod Community Association, was approved.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Attorney
Mr. Watts stated at the Board’s request a draft letter to the County regarding the Bomber Road intersection had been prepared. Counsel stated that the final draft was under review and would be forwarded to the District Manager upon completion so it could be finalized and transmitted to the County, requesting review of safety concerns at the Bomber Road intersection.

Engineer
Mr. Welch stated that there were no new updates to report at that time, but the engineer was aware of both the parking plan and the concerns regarding speed limit signs and was prepared to answer any questions from the Board on those matters.
The Board discussed resident concerns regarding speeding, speed limit signage, and traffic enforcement. Staff reviewed the status of previously approved signage and roadway improvements. The District Engineer reported that the straight-through arrow previously approved at Bomber Road had not yet been installed and would coordinate with staff and contractors regarding completion. Staff was also directed to contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office regarding traffic enforcement assistance.

Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Bailey reported that a stop sign on Bomber Road had been found missing the prior week and was replaced immediately upon discovery. The missing sign was identified as the stop sign for traffic approaching Bomber Road from the south, and staff indicated that additional sign replacements would be completed as needed. He further reported that landscape maintenance was progressing, irrigation issues continued to be monitored, janitorial services were maintaining dog stations and trash receptacles, and lake maintenance remained ongoing despite reduced water levels and related algae concerns. He also advised that installation of parking signage remained in progress, with minor adjustments underway and anticipated completion by the end of the week. With respect to the concern raised during public comment regarding an ADA ramp in the north section, the Board clarified that the ramp itself appeared to be acceptable, but that a small

depression in the asphalt approaching the ramp required repair, and follow-up coordination regarding that item would occur.
The Board discussed ongoing irrigation management issues, watering schedules, and coordination with landscape contractors. Staff reported on efforts to identify applicable watering schedules for District tracts and to improve operational tracking.
