SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisors’	Requests	and	Audience
Comments
Supervisors Requests:
Mr. Keefe stated there was a post on Facebook of someone asking what it would take for them to put up a memorial bench by the pond. Mr. Haber stated he does not believe there will be any problems with this, but they need to check with the engineer before construction starts. The Resident (Angela Tumlin 763 Barclay) can work with staff.
Mr. Keefe stated there was a dump truck being parked on the side of the road. Mr. Haber stated in their original parking policy, they did not address on-street parking. He noted if the board would like to add commercial vehicles to their policy, they can do that. He noted most district add towing signs, but they will have to figure out where they are allowed to add these signs. The board would like to see the agreement between the HOA and the CDD.
A resident asked if they build another parking lot would this solve the problem. Mr. Keefe stated if they do this, the lot has to be close to the houses and if it is not, it will not be used. He added if there is a car parked in the amenity center’s lot for one night, it will not get towed.

Mr. Soriano stated if a resident sees an alligator, they must call the hotline and report it to him. If they do not report it to him, the wildlife workers are not allowed to work on the property.

Audience Comments:
Resident stated she saw a child in the pool and informed them that they could not be in there without a parent and asked if there was a sign stating if you are under a certain age, you must be accompanied by an adult. Mr. Soriano stated the sign is under the gazebo.
Resident asked what is going on with the mailboxes. Mr. Cowling stated there is a national shortage of air locks in postal service at the moment. He is unsure when this will get fixed.
