Mr. Ron Miller: Spe for myself, 7a✓e no lute- `ion of ever approving this Resolution until such time

Having sa that, I wcU ice to comment on the legal and moral aspects of this. The Board has no legal
obligation :o approve tf h_,. Is there any disagreement?
Mr. Andrew Miller: This is a good question. We should ask and know the answer to prior to making a
decision because not c- ,y did the Board decide to accept the property into the CDD — I'm definitely
interested in understar .ing what the implications are to the CDD with the potential for negative

outcomes Ire if we :'c `'follow t, : c,h with the rest of what may be an obligation. If we don't
understan: that, I do 7'` ::nk we are ,c t ing a decision with all knowledge.
Mr. Ron A 7.rer: I wi' r the sc.,, pent as tefore. I don't think the Board has a legal obligation
to apprcv•
Mr. Greg 'oods: I _e_ .a take thi. ,`r advisen-,ent. i would he happy to give the Board my opinion
after I take a good h .c, •ak at it.
Mr. Ron N. 'ler: The aspect c,� the moral aspect. I th k we should reflect back on the entire
history of.=splanade iromen . J:en Taylor %'orrison startcd this development, they put together
a CDD anc the CDD -or and an existing number of units and a plan. As a part of that
plan the CJ D was ti f ..:er of in:- J, ture and has done so. The CDD concept is well known in the
State of F. rida. At 'a r point i;7 ': T ylor Morison came in and added the Dillillo property. At the
time, they still had c 'i member!rc of control, and they expanded the CDD boundaries and passed
the fundi- 7 so the c id take cd :"tage o; t, -:t. The residents have had a nonresident Board
throughoc . Taylor son took ac' cage of t-± opportunity a-nd i would say they had the legal right
to take ad '-ntage o h )pportunity don't think.i Bey had the moral right, but they had the legal right.
Now we c •me up tc lc catcher pro: • : which is similar, but a different situation, because we have a
non-Taylo. Board r , . sntation, z:. -c.ylor Morrison has once again added more property to the
developrr ;t. I belie property as been approved by-Collier County, so those houses are going to
be built, he ques n canes in w . respect to `he CDD and the CDD has previously expanded its
boundarie to induce t property :,,.- so forth +A ith funding. don't think the CDD Board Members
have any coral dut c any moral sc;:se of obligo•.on to cooperate with Taylor Morrison whatsoever.
This is all bout Ta; ':i -orrison. it is not about ,:he residents or about our community. It's actually
adding mc.-e people 7 resident's ''nenities. What it amounts to - think about the big picture - is
that Taylc Morrison this is just `usiness, Taylor Morrison is going to charge the market price they
can get fc those he • with or witi-c ut this funding. They will charge every dollar that they can, so if
this funding comes r this is situp 1, going to gc to Taylor Morrison's bottom line. It's as simple as
that. Tay". Morrisc:- i canting us tc c:-ce again be their bottom line play toy in giving them$1 million
dollars a: bringing tr into our community and at the same time they simultaneously they are
disgracefc y dishonorin their permits and the funding of the preserves. The final aspect from a moral
perspectiv:, stand in 'h, -hoes of the :'4 people who are eventually going to buy those homes. Are they
harmed? don't thi They've been helped because they are going to pay the market price with or
without t s funding a they are Going to step :nto a situation where they do not have the CDD
payment. They are got ; to be in a r:_tter position than all of us, the rest of the residents, so we would
actually be doing them c , avor and not harming them whatsoever. I just wanted to share those thoughts
with the ard.
Mr. Drew hiller: Greg, -ould you please give us the context to what we would be able to vote as a CDD
Board Mennber? Obvio -'y, there are personal agendas here as well and I just want to understand, not
only do we have a leg4 cligation, b, as a sitting Board Member, what is the decision that we have to
make as a Board Merit; not necessarily as a resident?
Chairpersc 1 Stamp: , you mentioned at the last meeting that there was an agreement between
Taylor Mc -ison and )D on this property. Jim, do we have a copy of that agreement?

again., Taylor l 7 7, you wit' to char the -'OA is listed c.s a defendant. The HOA is a nominal
defenc ant. The a just in there because they currently own some of the internal preserves and
lakes id s'nce ei : hts can be ,angentially affected, they have to be listed. The CDD is not suing
the HC-A. If an( w litigation .-arnmences, `s important that you watch your communications

Chairp_rson Sto c. r'e have a :' some discussion back and forth about whether we ought to
contir e this(A _nt with NI:. HOA or s_rminate it. Is there any discussion?
Mr. Ri 7 Miller: No ve seen en-.ils going around about some requirements Taylor Morrison were

genes izing her is going o in the bockg.,. und. From a layman's perspective, when I play golf

water i am ass. ..lese are :apes' litt ral. (Mr. Ward confirmed these were called littorals.)
And w h what's jc: on with a :.he sour es permission as remedy, what is really happening?
Are w. trying to those IL. Are we . ',ling to add some where it is deficient?
Mr. N rtinn Winter. Generally, Taylor Morrison is required to plant the banks with materials that
surviv- in high v,ai- :And in low water so that the banks do not erode, and because so many of the
banks re makes -en't have c v plcntin.gs o r. all, Taylor Morrison is required to go back and plant
in ord;: to get t _ . sections dose to get their performance bonds released. By and large the plan
is to c back ai hem of: .: ively tc ha .s something -at will hold the banks from eroding.
Now I hove a and with latcher prc _- ty that the have to take care of, so we are some
mont!. away I from the 6 cf signin_: with Taylor 'Morrison as the littorals are properly
planter'.
Discof ensu: aiding Tayi. Morrison's ;;!antings of the littorals.
Mr. C N Mille 1.. :ted littorc _ 'iUd mcre t:) do with water quality than bank erosion. It's not

Mr. R. Miller: Coi tiering who`; going c; I a ve reread the HOA contract and it specifically says
the H 1 is to p :v = all service.: It seems to me that the HOA contract includes mitigation and
maint ?once of '.e eserves. Ti .:`has never"appened. The mitigation and maintenance that has
occur -a'prior tc smitting this -Ito the CDC, Taylor Morrison paid some of those expenses in the
past, I:it the lio, K. of it has b,--en paid for by the CDD. I find it odd that the CDD has been paying
for thr;e expens • ereas the c. -tract requires the HOA to pay for these expenses. This may seem
circulc. but it seem 'a me the CLT would have some cause of action with the HOA and say we want
our n; ney back. ' -it's a bit cir.. ,0r because it's the same residents whether it's the CDD or the
HOA. _`ut then i wo d raise the ciestion, is it really the same? The way the budget comes together
throu , the HO bsidized or;ended by Taylor Morrison as it should be. You can't go back and
redo five year !c fidget, so if 'e CDD were to ask for it's money back where would that money
come -am? It cot.`r:n't come oc : of the current year's budget, so that then falls back on Taylor
Morn. n to reimbu e the HOA v '-o then can reimburse the COD for all those past expenses. I think
that's .-omething w= nave got to ;et on the table. I think Taylor Morrison can very well be held
accou table for tho.,' expenses th- ugh that medium.

Mr. D „✓ Miller T ,: internal pr. -erves and c tot of the preserves that have the initial mitigation

was it ide of th<< it budget. 1 t ..,k the differences between the CDD budget and the HOA budget,
at leo: in conte. ;hat you are >ny:hg, are very similar, bee ause the HOA budget is deficit funded,
but if .au put i .Jlar value i te. the budget it raises fees, similar to the CDD. If the cost is
$200,. 0 dollar.: `c maintain the ;reserves, and it's in the h')A, it is spread across the number of
units c id Taylor.'4c v:son deficits %ds it. S,imilc'ly, in the CDC., it is spread across all the landowners
and Ter `ar More a- finds its proccrtionate share as well. l can't know about back history or what
that:, ,ld mea wither ent vi s mount_-ring it,for e_ :h resident it is very similar.
Chairs .-son Sta a. "ou said mi.'. tion was c>mpleted. Is -hat your opinion, that mitigation has
been c ,-np!eted i . e external
Mr. D :ti Miller. Y. it went in Tointenon . You may be trying to catch me on whether it's a
permit or it has t= maintained. There was an initial mitigation that was done. Remove all of the
nuisa exotics fete. Pr/0 the CCD acnepting it, rn, "ors of dollars were spent to mitigate.
Simile 1 speaki, _ the wood s Liks and those kinds of this:_s, yes, there was a lot of money spent
to cre, the ar , .tigate the area, and then there is an ongoing perpetual maintenance scenario
that h s to be c So, the tin frame, and ✓✓hether you are talking did we get signoff for that
main:- -once dt, oat time p_ ed — I don't want to split hairs — it was being maintained or is
being airtaine now in a r ntenance st.rte.
Chairf: 'rson Star':a: y recollect en is Tim Hali stating we are still mitigating some of this property.
We at not oka :c „ ? to the ne. step. There could be some overlap, but there is mitigation and
there maintennnc
Mr. L v Miller. 't know if l':st matters ti t much or if!.n misspeaking a little bit. But it's in a
mats, _ :ance co xi what I wo :`:i consider th 'nftial mitigation orders to be.
Mr. R :1 Miller: or what you are saying. I understand what you are saying, but factually
speak g, the CL : . spent a cc! s derable amount of mane .very year on whatever you want to
call it, ;iitigatio iaintenanc_ cr both. Factually speaking there has been a budget spent every
year the CD, a ne extern -.•eserves. There has been money spent and the HOA contract
specif :ally says "te HOA has pay for that. The HOA did not pay for it, the CDD did. So, why
shout.-,'t the CC % ;ore the op: ::n of going to the HOA and saying we want our money back. You
didn't =vlfill your s act.
Mr. IA raters: At the .rst meeting v-e asked for the accounting firm to go backwards and look at all
those Tenses and ~.:cumulate uc through this year of what those expenses are, so maybe Jim, you
can te us what yot :.pink the tir.-::frame is for naving those expenses on the table, so we will know
the m. gnitude of de ors we are ;king about that we would need to roll into the claim or bill back

Mr. . oods: J arify, unc me CDD st: -ates, the deve oiler is allowed to have it's appointed
Board Membe the Board. That's not a conflict of interest. It is a matter of degree and a
mat :r of leve :eing to the- -property wu_ potentially problematic. The approving of budgets
anc rings fa 2 to Tayir Morrison cord be. There is an argument that yes, that could
potL --jelly be 'ch. It's a 'er line, and t's up to the hard, but as your litigation counsel i
wen" r'like to '✓ard with -c't believe be the stro gest arguments. That's how we have
tare :ed this That'_, . t my opin _. If you wan: me to look at the potentiality of the
oth 3oard N -s, I can lc,: :.rt it. I just tr'ek it detracts from some of our stronger stuff.
W. on Mille would alsoriot out, ar, this was me: tioned in a Board Meeting to Taylor

whi. ; specific , ys that tar are to abstc7 from voting any time any benefit would inure to
the employe they vote 51 _ch and eve-, time on those motions against the CDD. I don't see
any rason to them fie)
Cha .Jerson S As someoc who used '< play being a lawyer, it's my opinion that it might be
gooc' to do ti , ° a lot of reasons, but any damages recovered for say Drew voting for the

eve membe; voted. If tie dcmages -e $14 million plus whatever past they should have

ogre ing with 21 that it's r w rth the ::rndle for the v.'ax. As far as the ethics violation, that
v✓oc not be . :d in the suit anyway. i don't think that would be actionable. You would

Mr. :"inters: .would be in rived with f'. ; an ethics complaint?

can ctually fi = :Wine and e `the proce_ rolling. Any member of the public is free to do this.
Wit the conf •nterest, yo re going to ::ave to show—they are going to want specifics. You
have to look a ' necific vote and the specific action.
Mr. 'on Miller - unless actt—i were brought more forcefully, let's just theorize. Let's say that
