Engineer
Ms. Leaptrott stated Phase 3 is starting and I owe you a supplemental report for Phase 3. We have a warranty closeout. We have been doing our inspections as far as the outlet control ponds then I saw contracts for pond maintenance and I want to make sure they pick that up for O&M. There is some outside staff now at the water management district to enforce the rules on O&M, we have to be sure it is included in an inspection.
Mr. Laughlin asked for the pond company to do the inspection?
Ms. Leaptrott stated that is the question. For now I just sent our guys out there to make a checklist and make sure we are doing everything in compliance. It can either stay with us or do you want the pond company doing that? One of the things we ran into was the structure covers you have to inspect are a little heavy and I requested a potential alternative to see if we want to change those out.
Mr. Laughlin stated we can look into that. We have proposals that are ready to go for pond maintenance. I can ask them if that is a serve they provide.

Ms. Acevedo asked is there a certain timing when things are transferred into the CDD ownership?
Mr. Laughlin stated in this district, Corner Lot has done the development then transferring it to the district and getting reimbursed by bond funds. In those cases it would be the conveyance deeds for land, as to the ponds, there is a permit with the water management district that will eventually go from development to maintenance and the CDD will take it over at that point.
