SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Development Agreement with BRH Enterprises, LLC Mr. Teague presented the Development Agreement between the District and BRH Enterprises, LLC for the Board's review and approval; a copy of which is attached hereto and made part of the public record. Wednesday, 12/2/09 @ 10:41 a.m. October 30, 2009 Port of the Islands C.I.D. • Mr. Benson does not believe there are any disadvantages to the District taking this over. • The original purpose of obtaining this land was to build the fire station. • There is enough property for another building as well as a parking lot. • The storm water can be repaired. • The water plant can now be built to the full size. There being no further discussion, On MOTION by Mr. Bissell seconded by Mrs. Dillon with all in favor, the Development Agreement between the District and BRH Enterprises, LLC was approved and the Chairman was authorized to execute said agreement. • The record will reflect that all Board members were in concurrence with approving this agreement. • Once the agreement is executed, the Site Development Plan can be worked on. THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Development Agreement with LouLand, LLC Mr. Teague presented the Development Agreement between the District and LouLand, LLC for the Board's review and approval; a copy of which is attached hereto and made part of the public record. • Mr. Benson advised the Board Mr. Zalesnak's attorney will need to review this agreement in order to determine the terms. • Mr. Benson proceeded to explain the details. ➢ The CID has an easement over 42 acres on the property owned by the Gun Club for effluent disposal. ➢ This acreage is spread beyond the state's line for which they claimed as wetlands. ➢ The state has a document titled, Best Management Practices for Environmental Stewardship of Florida Shooting Ranges, which is consistent with the federal EPA report. o One of the requirements is for the periodic removal of lead shot. Wednesday, 12/2/09 @ 10:41 a.m. 2 October 30, 2009 Port of the Islands C.I.D. o The ground must be level and the grass cut and maintained in order for this removal to take place on a two to three year cycle. ➢ The CID's pipeline is located in this area and Mr. Holecek would like the pipe to be moved. o The CID no longer needs this pipe for primary disposal since the reuse system is fully operational. o A secondary system with a three-day storage pond is required as part of the permit. ➢ Mr. Benson met with the state DEP to determine their position, which was explained. o They want the current effluent disposal system to be removed if it can be replaced with the three-day storage pond. o The current system is permitted through the federal government as an NPDES permit because wetlands are considered state waters. o There will be an annual cost savings for the CID if this is removed. o Mr. Zalesnak and his staff agreed to move the pipe and provide the pond. • The pond will have four feet of water depth and three feet of berm above the water, as required by the state. • The CID will have to cut off the pipe and run it the rest of the way into the pond. ➢ Mr. Benson modified the agreement. o The CID as the permit holder with DEP would do the minor modification to the system. o The Gun Club can construct the pond once the CID gets the permit. o The CID is willing to finish the pond and remove the easement on 42 acres; after which they can move the pipe once they are ready to transfer ownership to the CID. Wednesday, 12/2/09 @ 10:41 a.m. 3 October 30, 2009 Port of the Islands C.I.D. o They can provide the 15 foot easement from the end of CID property in order to allow the CID canal access for the storm water runoff and any future utilities for the canal. ➢ Mr. Benson discussed another factor regarding application for permits with the county. o The CID must submit applications to Collier County once the modifications are finalized. o The land must be zoned for a public facility. o The property the CID will own must be connected. o None of the roads need to be paved. • Mr. Lambert wants to know if there is any lead shot in the area where the lake is going to be; and if so, whether the CID should expect anything in writing which indicates it will not be responsible to clean it up. ➢ The material will be removed when they dig for the pond. • Mr. Lambert wants to know whether or not underground power will be installed from the primary lines. ➢ This will be left up to LCEC. ➢ LCEC will do it free of charge if they are given an easement. • Mr. Bissell wants the CID to get ownership of the property now. ➢ Mr. Lambert advised the CID will not want ownership until the pond is there. ➢ Mr. Bissell believes it will be easier to obtain the permits if the CID owns the land. ➢ Mr. Benson believes the CID can get the permits once the agreement which states the CID is going to have ownership is signed. • Mr. Lambert wants to know whether or not Mr. Zalesnak's staff will do the work themselves. ➢ Mr. Zalesnak confirmed the equipment will have to be leased. ➢ They will hire Gun Club members, of which there are over 200 who are skilled in every trade. Wednesday, 12/2/09 @ 10:41 a.m. 4 October 30, 2009 Port of the Islands C.I.D. • Mr. Lambert wants to know if the Gun Club is willing to do the grading for the ponds. ➢ Mr. Zalesnak is willing to do this as long as the CID is willing to share the costs. ➢ The machinery will be a major cost factor. • Mr. Custer confirmed with Mr. Benson the pond will be dug prior to the CID taking ownership of the land in order to avoid liability regarding construction accidents. ➢ Mr. Benson also confirmed the CID will have no liability with permits. • Mr. Ziko expressed his concern for any liabilities associated with digging of the retention pond. ➢ Mr. Benson confirmed some type of agreement needs to be in place if costs are going to be shared. ➢ The attorneys may need to get involved in this aspect. • Mr. Ziko wants to know what is going to be done for fire protection. ➢ The pump which pressurizes the reuse system will provide pressurized water all the way to an eight inch pipe which will be installed by the CID. ➢ A hydrant can be put in at the end of the line. ➢ There can be a back pressure control valve when the water dumps into the pond in order to maintain pressure in the pipe. ➢ This will provide fire protection to both properties. • Mr. Benson confirmed a potable water line will be necessary.

Mrs. Dillon SECONDED the prior motion as amended. • The CID will have a Fee Simple Title on the pond which the Gun Club is going to provide and a Quit Claim Deed on the property which Mr. Holecek is involved with. ➢ Mr. Lambert wants to know if this will be free and clear of any encumbrances, which Mr. Cox will have to confirm. • Mr. Ziko wants to ensure this entire project is not going to cost the CID $75,000 to $100,000. ➢ Mrs. Dillon reminded Mr. Ziko the CID is going to have extra property for the water plant. ➢ Mr. Teague reminded Mr. Ziko the CID is giving up an easement on 42 acres. ➢ Mr. Ziko suggested an amount not to exceed $40,000 on the construction be added to the agreement. ➢ Mr. Benson suggested he will bring an estimate to the next meeting. • Mr. Lambert wants to know if there are going to be any testing requirements if the water going in is going to be used as an outflow from the treatment plant. ➢ It will not have to be tested because the CID will have the ability to take the water back to the treatment plant, which will go into the dyna-sand filter for disinfection. ➢ There will be a small wet well with a submersible pump. • Mr. Custer wants to know if the pond will be certified as free of lead before it is dug up. ➢ Mrs. Dillon believes the lead will be removed when they are digging for the pond. ➢ The soil should be sifted for lead. • Mr. Ziko is concerned about contamination. ➢ Mr. Benson suggested lining the pond with a synthetic liner, which involves an additional cost. Wednesday, 12/2/09 @ 10:41 a.m. October 30, 2009 Port of the Islands C.I.D. • Mr. Lambert wants to know if the CID will have any problems in obtaining clear title on the Holecek property and the property the CID may accept from the Gun Club for a pond because the agreement with Holecek states the CID will get a Quit Claim Deed; and the Gun Club agreement states the CID will get a Fee Simple Title. He asked Mr. Cox to advise him. ➢ Mr. Cox is not certain of the status of the title. ➢ He went to the foreclosure and had the chain of title. ➢ He will have to update it, which should not be a major issue. ➢ Mr. Cox is comfortable with Mr. Lambert executing the agreement with Mr. Holecek today. ➢ He is also comfortable with the Gun Club agreement. • Mr. Teague asked Mr. Cox's advice with regards to environmental exposure in the event there is some lead in this area when it is dug up. ➢ The work will be done subject to possible conditions from DEP, according to Mr. Benson. • The agreement can be executed today as stated in the original motion. ➢ The language can also be slightly modified to address any concerns. ➢ The property owner must also be in agreement with any modifications. ➢ If the Board agrees to this in concept, Mr. Benson can draw up a legal description of the property in order to commence the rezoning process.
