Currents Community Development District February 10, 2021 Mr. Ward asked if the Board wished to appoint an individual to fill Seat 5 at today's Meeting or if this Item should be deferred to the next Meeting. The Board decided to defer this Item. THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021- Consideration of Resolution 2021-, Re-Designation of the Officers of the District This Item was a companion Item to the Second Order of Business;therefore,this Item was deferred until the next Meeting as well. FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-2 Consideration of Resolution 2021-2 a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the Currents Community Development District Extending the terms of office of all current Supervisors to coincide with the General Election pursuant to section 190.006 of the Florida Statutes. Mr. Ward: Resolution 2021-2 extends the terms of office for all current supervisors. The way in which the Statute works for Districts that were established in odd years, those Districts can adopt a resolution to extend or reduce their term to an even numbered year. The thought process is, then by the time you get to a qualified elector-based election they then coincide with general elections that we have here in the State. This resolution merely extends your terms of office until the next general election which would be the 2022 timeframe and your seats would be extended accordingly. So, they either go from 2021 to 2022, or 2023 to 2024 depending upon which seat you are on. He asked if there were any questions; hearing none, he called for a motion. On MOTION made by Mr. Brian Keller, seconded by Mr. Robert Summers, and with all in favor, Resolution 2021-2 was adopted, and the Chair was authorized to sign. FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-3 Consideration of Resolution 2021-3, a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Currents Community Development District;Authorizing the execution and delivery of an Amended Engagement Letter with Grau&Associates to provide Financial Audit Services Mr. Ward: Resolution 2021-3 amends the engagement letter with Grau & Associates for our financial audit services. With the recent financing that we did for the 2020A and B bonds, we have additional compliance requirements and additional what we call funds which are basically balance sheets and income statements in the governmental world. As such, the auditor is requesting an additional fee for handling those additional services. The amount that they have recommended to increase are $1,000 dollars due to the additional funds that we have, so it raises the fee schedule for 2021-2024 to $4,100 dollars (in 2021), and that increases by$100 dollars each year to$4,200(in 2022), $4,300(in 2023), and $4,400 dollars(in 2024). He asked if there were any questions; hearing none, he called for a motion.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-4 Consideration of Resolution 2021-4, a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the Currents Community Development District ratifying the time of the Regular Meetings of the Board of Supervisors of the District Mr. Ward: This Resolution ratifies the time of the Regular Meeting of the Board of Supervisors. Essentially, we had to change the time slightly in order to accommodate schedules by removing it to 2:30 p.m. instead of 2:00 p.m., but in order to do that I am asking you to adopt a Resolution which ratifies that new schedule for you. It leaves the dates and the location at the same place. He asked if there were any questions; hearing none, he called for a motion. On MOTION made by Mr. Brian Keller, seconded by Mr. Robert Summers, and with all in favor, Resolution 2021-4 was adopted, and the Chair was authorized to sign. SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-5 Consideration of Resolution 2021-5, a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Currents Community Development District ratifying the acquisition of certain potable Water and Wastewater Utility Facilities from the Developer, Taylor Morrison Of Florida, Inc., and ratifying the conveyance of such potable Water and Wastewater Utility Facilities to Collier County; ratifying the Chairman's execution of such conveyance documents evidencing the District's acceptance and conveyance Mr. Urbancic: This is a bit of a routine process when we have utilities, potable water, and sanitary sewer, that are acquired by the District and thereafter sent on to the County. There are some time sensitive aspects, as you know, to getting utilities turned on. What this is, is a ratification of our acceptance of these utility facilities and authorizing the Chair to take any further actions necessary to convey them to Collier County. This is the next phase of utilities. It also memorializes the cost to the extent that we can capture this cost in future bond issues. Mr. Futch: This is the phase that's already turned over? Mr. Urbancic: That one is phase 1E. They've already submitted those to the County, so we are just ratifying this action. 31Page 1611 Currents Community Development District February 10, 2021 On MOTION made by Mr. Brian Keller, seconded by Mr. Robert Summers, and with all in favor, Resolution 2021-5 was adopted, and the Chair was authorized to sign. EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-6 Consideration of Resolution 2021-6, a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Currents Community Development District ratifying the Chairman's execution and delivery of an application to South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to amend the existing environmental resource permit relating to surface water management within the District;Authorizing the Chairman or(Vice Chairman in the Chairman's absence) to sign or execute such additional application documents as are necessary or required in connection with obtaining SFWMD's approval of the modification to the environmental resource permit Mr. Ward: As I understand this, our existing South Florida Water Management permit for this District is tied to a permit that the neighboring development of Fiddler's Creek has, and we are co-applicants on that existing permit. So, this Resolution would authorize the Chairman and applicable staff to amend that existing permit to essentially bifurcate that into a brand spanking new permit that is only for the Currents Community Development District and the existing permit that currently oversees the property will only be for Fiddler's Creek development. He asked if there were any questions; hearing none, he called for a motion. Mr.Summers: Would we need the other party to let us off the existing permit? Mr. Ward: Yes, we do, and as I understand it, the Fiddler's Creek development has agreed to that, but I only make the representations to you that I have been told. We would need to confirm that with Waldrop Engineering. Mr. Keller: I don't think they've done that yet. Can we push this until we have the Chairman at the next meeting, or do we need it this month? Mr. Ward: I understand this is urgent to get done. So, if you would like to approve it subject to mine and Greg's confirmation that the Fiddler's Creek will be bifurcated from ours, we can do it that way also, and I will be able to get something from Waldrop that memorializes that concept. Discussion ensued regarding the permit and wishing to be on a separate permit. On MOTION made by Mr. Brian Keller, seconded by Mr. Ryan Futch, and with all in favor, Resolution 2021-6 was adopted pending Greg Urbancic's and Jim Ward's confirmation of the requested information, and the Chair was authorized to sign. NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Consideration of Resolution 2021-7 4IPage 611.. Currents Community Development District February 10, 2021 Consideration of Resolution 2021-7, a Resolution of the Board of Supervisors of Currents Community Development District ratifying the Chairman's execution and delivery of an application to South Florida Water Management District as a co-applicant for a Water Use Permit for irrigation purposes; authorizing the Chairman or (Vice Chairman in the Chairman's absence) to sign or Execute such additional Water Use Permit application documents as are necessary or required in connection with obtaining SFWMD's approval of the Water Use Permit Mr. Ward: This does the same thing as the prior Item, but this was with respect to the Water Use Permit for irrigation services for the community. Again, as I understand it, this is also of a somewhat urgent nature. If you would like to approve this also subject to Greg, and my confirmation that we can bifurcate that permit, that would be appropriate. Mr. Urbancic: My understanding from reading the backup was that this was something where because of our ownership of the lake property, we actually physically own it, that the Water Management District was making the CDD be a co-applicant on this permit. On MOTION made by Mr. Brian Keller, seconded by Mr. Robert Summers, and with all in favor, Resolution 2021-7 was adopted pending Greg Urbancic's and Jim Ward's confirmation of the requested information,and the Chair was authorized to sign.
