Authorization No. 88 Contract Administration and Construction Observation
Services

Agreements No. 334 and 335 with WCI Communities, Inc.
Ms. Early stated the contract is for the last leg of Heron Bay Boulevard
and the District's portion of this contract is for the water and sewer
portion. The paving and drainage
portion is WCI. This will require a
funding agreement with WCI and we recommend awarding the contract to Florida
Sewer & Water. They have done
Pods 1, 2, 3, and 4 and they are doing the Cove and the Greens that we discussed
at the March meeting. Work
Authorization No. 88 is for engineering services during construction and Funding
Agreements 334 and 335 covers the District's portion of the
contract.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS
Consideration of Work Authorization No. 89 to Prepare Construction
Drawings for Excavation of Approximately 138 Acres of Lakes and Drainageways
within Parkland Country Club and Engineering Design Agreement No.
333
Ms. Early stated Parkland Country Club is the remaining area in
Supplement No. 3A and this work authorization is to do the lake design.
Ms. Archer stated we are talking about and working on a future bond issue
to pay for that water management system.
An integral part of the sizing of that bond issue is getting an idea of
what the design is going to be.
Mr. Grossjung asked who will ultimately pay for the construction
drawings?
Ms. Early stated WCI is funding it and they will be reimbursed from the
bond issue. There is a little bit
of money left in Supplement 3 and a portion will be out of each of the
supplements.
Ms. Archer stated we have already issued a piece of the Supplement 3
Bonds but we validated a lot more because we knew we had to do the water
management system in Supplement 3A.
Mr. Grossjung asked what is the timing of that bond
issue?
Ms. Archer responded I believe we will close on that this calendar
year.
On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by
Mr. Mendolia with all in favor Work authorization no. 89 and engineering Design
Agreement No. 333 were approved.
FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS
Consideration of Surface Water Management Permit Request for Southwind at
Sawgrass Center
Ms. Early stated they are not connected to the North Springs system yet
because there is no drainage areas to drain into. They have a private system and we have
to incorporate what they are proposing with their existing overall private
system to make sure it works. I ask
that you approve this subject to our final review and approval of the
calculations. When Heron Bay
Commercial comes on line there will be an easement for them if they choose to
connect through that easement. We
have made that available if they want to do that. They have designed the system where they
do not have to connect if they don't want to spend the money to put in a pipe to
outfall into a District canal but they will have that option in the
future.
Ms. Archer stated the trade-off is probably the land where the lake
currently exists. If some day they
want to fill it in and put in a parking lot, they will come back to us to
connect.
On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by
Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the surface water management permit was approved
for Southwind at Sawgrass Center subject to final review and approval of Gee
& Jenson of the drainage calculations,

There not being any, the next item followed.
C.
Superintendent
Ms. Archer stated last month we asked you to approve an Interlocal
Agreement between the North Springs Improvement District and the City of
Parkland to provide water and sewer service outside of our boundaries. I am distributing an Amendment to our
Large User Agreement with Broward County that allows us to send all of our
wastewater to Broward County for treatment and disposal. Every time we amend the boundaries of
our service area, we have to amend the Large User Agreement to include those new
boundaries. The map attached to the
Amendment shows the small piece of land where we are asking to amend our
boundaries to provide service outside our current service area which is known as
Parkland Magic. We have entered
into this exact agreement to amend our boundaries in the past when we have
brought in additional land that we annexed into the District.
On MOTION by Mr. Grossjung seconded by
Mr. Mendolia with all in favor the Fourth Amendment to the Large User Agreement
was approved.
