If you remember, we moved our general checking account as a result of the issuance of the bonds. Your authorization back then allowed us to do it, but I want to cleanup the record and do a Resolution. All this does is names Whitney Bank as your qualified public depository pursuant to Chapter 28 of the Statutes. He asked if there were any questions; hearing none, he called for a motion. On MOTION made by Mr. Joe Newcomb, seconded by Ms. Joanne Lekas, and with all in favor, Resolution 2022-5 was adopted, and the Chair was authorized to sign. FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2022-6 Consideration of Resolution 2022-6, a Resolution of the Board Of Supervisors Of Wentworth Estates Community Development District accepting certain conveyances from the Developer, Lennar Homes, LLC, and Treviso Bay Owners Master Association, Inc., relating to the clean-up of property ownership within the District; authorizing the Chairman or the Vice Chairman (in the Chairman's absence) to execute such conveyance documents to the extent necessary to evidence the District's acceptance Mr. Ward: Many moons ago, Greg and I were advised that there were a number of parcels of land within the community that were either common areas to be transferred to the HOA or part of the District's drainage system, all of which were still in Lennar's name. Over the last year, we have been working to get the legal descriptions ready to go to transfer that property from Lennar to either the homeowner's association directly or to the CDD. Resolution 2022-6 does this for you with respect to the property owned by the Community Development District, the land that is to go to the homeowner's association. Mr. Urbancic has been working with the attorney's counsel. I have also talked to Scott, but it was a long time ago, about ensuring the HOA would be comfortable with us accepting the transfer of that land. The ball is in their court to do that at this point. These conveyances transfer either by deed or be easement some of the property over to the CDD. Basically, lake maintenance easements and lake maintenance areas that should be part of the drainage system. Mr. Gasworth: So, we've already been maintaining them because Lennar obviously hasn't been. Mr. Ward: Either the HOA or us. It's really a cleanup item. Mr. Greg Urbancic: Essentially, we figured out what parcels were still owned by Lennar, or they had an interest in, and went through the team process to figure out which entity was the right one based upon 2IPage 16 1 1 Wentworth Estates Community Development District June 9, 2022 who was doing what at the current time or what the CDD paid for. Some of the attachments you see are a little bit over inclusive in terms of what we're concerned about, but we put it all on there anyway. You see there are essentially two quit claim deeds of parcels going to the CDD, along with assignment of dedications which are sort of ancillary easement rights. Also, shown in the exhibit, is a deed to the Master Association, and then one to one of the condominium associations. Those associations have approved those forms. We are essentially just waiting for a final "final"from Lennar's counsel on the transfer. When we kind of combed through it their initial reaction was, hey, I though we did all of this at turnover, but interestingly enough there are some more parcels, and the property appraiser is also designating them. We think this is in really good shape at this point in time. If there is anything that comes back which would change this in any material fashion, we will let you know. On MOTION made by Mr. Andrew Gasworth, seconded by Ms.Joanne Lekas, and with all in favor, Resolution 2022-6 was adopted, and the Chair was authorized to sign. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Staff Reports I. District Attorney No report. II. District Engineer a) Stormwater Reporting Updates No report. III. Asset Manager a) Operations Report May 1, 2022 b) Operations Report June 1,2022 Mr. Bruce Bernard: There is one portion on the bridge that needs to be repaired. There is some cracking on the northeast wall cap. That is the only recommendation that we had to do, but we have three other smaller items to do. We are going to get a structural contractor to get all that repaired. The lighting and landscaping project at the entrance will begin at the end of the month. We were able to find the fixtures that were holding it up, so we will be starting that at the end of the month. That should take a 30 day process. Lake bank restoration will be completed this week on Lake 8 and that will complete the project for this Fiscal Year. I'm still working on the fountain pump stations, trying to get additional quotes. It's hard to get contractors out there, so I'm also trying to get some quotes on rehabbing what we have there now. IV. District Manager b) Financial Statements for period ending April 30,2022(unaudited) c) Financial Statements for period ending May 31,2022(unaudited) Mr. Ward: The Stormwater Analysis has now been completed and filed with the County. They have been uploading it to the State system. It's finally finished and in five years we will go through the process again. 3IPage 6 1'' Wentworth Estates Community Development District June 9, 2022 SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Supervisor's Requests and Audience Comments Mr.Ward asked if there were any Supervisor's requests or questions from the Board; there were none.

We've invited guest speakers to the Board Meetings since this Board took over 14 months ago. Would you guys ever want a slot just to come in and do CDD does this, CDD does that,just as informational. Mr. Ward: We will do that if you want us to. Mr.Sandel: Maybe in the fall or January when we think we might have a bigger crowd.
