Mr. Schumacher will inform ABB of the golf course's seasonal closures to assist the firm in scheduling work without interference from golf play activity. 2. Lake #9 Wall Repair Three engineering companies were interviewed to provide an evaluation of the wooden retaining wall re -construction project on Lake 9. Mr. Schumacher has been working with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. who will provide a "Scope of Service" for the following tasks: A. Evaluation of the failure of the existing wall. B. Design of a replacement wall with an "Opinion of Cost" for two construction methods ➢ A wooden vertical wall similar to the original. ➢ Continuation of rip rap around the impacted segment. C. Evaluation and life expectancy prediction of three (3) additional lakes with wooden retainer walls. A proposal for task A is anticipated week ending July 11, 2021.

Installation of an annunciator on top of the control enclosure to flash red if pump fails Manual start-up of pump resulted in a thirty-six (36) hour run cycle, after which the sub -contractor adjusted the float levels to actuate at a higher water level. The pump is functioning, and stormwater flows down the swale as planned. VII. NEW BUSINESS A. Sidewalk on Forest Lakes Drive -- Proposed 1. Patrick Bernal Survey Data Mr. Bernal presented consolidated results of his Walkway Survey emailed to 250 of the 352 FLCA owners between November 30 and December 2, 2020. A breakdown of the 178 resident responses: 0 Safety: 75% of respondents voted "likely or very likely" a sidewalk will make the community safer.

However, five (5) of the nine (9) board members voted in support of the walkway feasibility study. Opposition concerns included: • Cost - Study cost is estimated in the $20,000.00 range and may have led to the negative votes. Landscape damage (one (1) Pygmy Palm would be removed on the proposed route). Privacy issue for Phase IV residents.
