AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Mr. Fred Luconi was concerned that the Georgetown lake fountain had not been working
since June and asked whether the Services Division was responsible for repairs.
Mr. Dorrill replied that the Services Division would repair this foundation; however,
there are two fountains within the Pelican Bay community and he recommended that the Board,
as a matter of consistency, develop a policy as to how, or if,the Services Division should be
responsible for these inherited community fountains going forward.
Mr. Elmar Heimbach presented a petition signed by more than 120 residents opposed to
removing the large bromeliads in the Pelican Bay community.
Ms. Marcia Cravens commented on the Foundation's covenants concerning water
management, distributed relevant pages, and was concerned about riprap and the north berm.
Ms. Mollie Moffatt commented on her preference for small versus large bromeliads.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
PELICAN BAY BEACH RENOURISHMENT UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill reported there have been some continuing concerns regarding the final
quantities and agreement with the Foundation and the Board of County Commissioners in
respect to the beach renourishment project and distributed information provided by the Coastal
Zone Management department related to the final quantities of sand versus original estimates.
The Services Division's interest has generally been 15,000 +/- cubic yards and a contingency
based on estimates from the original design; however, there was a survey done in December and
the volume of sand placed was significantly less than 15,000 cubic yards. At the same time there
was a 10,000 cubic yards allowance in the contract that was entered into between the Foundation
and the County for those portions of the beach that were private and adjacent to land owned by
the Foundation; however, the 10,000 cubic yards were predicated on design and construction
drawings that were commissioned and paid for by the Foundation, but again the final volume
placed was less than the 10,000 cubic yards originally estimated. The 15,000 +/- cubic yards
contemplated by the Services Division was to bring the beach to the Board of County
Commissioners standard, referred to as the"hundred—foot-wide beach cross-section standard."
This standard was the rationale for the Services Division portion. The 10,000 cubic yards
contemplated by the Foundation was referred to as"advanced beach renourishment" and
apparently placement of the full 10,000 cubic yards was not necessary.
Ms. O'Brien was concerned about the Services Division's and Foundation's cost-sharing
for this project. The original cost share was 54% Services Division - 46%Foundation and the
revised cost share is 60% -40%.
The consensus of the Board was to not contest the charges.
L'AMBIANCE LAKE BANK COLLAPSE
Mr. Dorrill explained that the Services Division has a substantial lake bank easement at
the L'Ambiance lake and the Services Division will pay for approximately 500 cubic yards of fill
(at$20/cubic yard)within the lake bank easement.
NORTH BERM PERMITTING UPDATE
The permit was filed;however work will have to be coordinated with the Foundation as
they renovate their North Beach facility.

MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORT
Vice Chairman Trecker motioned,Ms. O'Brien seconded, to accept the monthly
financial report into the record. The motion carried unanimously.
WATER MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES UPDATE
PBSD'S STANDING ON COMMON'S PROJECT
Vice Chairman Trecker explained the question was what role does the Services
Division's play, if any, in the Foundation's project at the Commons. As he understood it,the
Services Division's legal responsibility for water management did not extend to the private areas
owned and managed by the Foundation;therefore, the Services Division cannot stop review or
approval of the plans, but can offer concerns and recommendations to South Florida Water
Management District.
Mr. Dorrill added technical concerns determined by the Services Division's civil engineer
could be shared and recommendations made to the County engineer. However, until the
construction drawings are received and an analysis is done by the engineer, it was unclear
whether the area of impact is a water management area reserved for drainage or on a drainage
easement as part of the Services Division's master drainage system permit.
Some members were concerned about the Services Division's role and Mr. Dorrill and
Ms. O'Brien agreed to meet with the County Attorney for clarification.
% IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AT COMMONS SITE UPDATE
Mr. Dorrill explained the exhibit from the original master drainage plan for the
community identifies pervious and impervious surfaces by basin and zoning type. There are
different impervious allowances within each drainage basin and within each zoning type. This
exhibit would be the basis of the independent civil engineering review of the imminent site plans.
South Florida Water Management District in West Palm Beach would be the entity to address
any concerns with the plans; Staff requested the plans, but they have not been received.
CLAM BAY FUNDING
Mr. Dorrill planned to discuss with the County Manager procuring more Fund
111funding for Clam Bay expenses
