February 12, 2026	Coral Bay CDD

Discussion of:
Cost Sharing for Removal of Trees Damaging CDD Property
Mr. Hall (Tape Time: 0:01:31) moved to item No. 4A, discussion of cost sharing for removal of trees damaging CDD property stating pictures were included in the agenda of a tree at a resident’s home who wished to remove it from their yard. Mr. Hall also stated approximately 3 to 5 years earlier this tree had caused damage to the CDD’s sidewalk and as a result the District ended up digging up the sidewalk, replacing 4 sections, and root pruning that tree. Mr. Hall then stated at that time there was a different homeowner living at that address who wanted to keep the tree, however, the current homeowner does not want to keep the tree and was asking the CDD to participate in a 50/50 split of the removal price of
$2,010, provided by Just Call James, to remove the tree since it was damaging CDD property. Mr. Hall stated he was in favor of doing so and suggested the Board should probably do this with any tree that was damaging CDD property because it would be money saved in the long run. Mr. Hall then asked the Board for their input on this matter.
(At this point (Tape Time: 0:05:05) a discussion was held among the Board members and Mr. Gill relating to this item)(Mr. Gallucci (Tape Time: 0:05:34) suggested obtaining a price from the District’s landscaper, Shinto Landscaping to see if they could get a lower price)

Mr. Gill (Tape Time: 0:06:10) stated he discussed this issue with Ms. Smoker and Mr.
Geiger relating to the rules surrounding CDD payments for private property, and both indicated the District was generally not allowed to expend public funds for private property issues.
(At this point (Tape Time: 0:06:30) further discussion was held among the Board members, Mr. Gill, Ms. Smoker and Mr. Geiger relating to this item) (The Board agreed to deny the homeowner’s request to split the price for the removal of the tree and requested the District Manager to send a rejection letter to the homeowner informing him of the Board’s decision)

Loan and Reserves
Mr. Hall (Tape Time: 0:30:40) moved to item No. 4B, loan and reserves and asked Ms. Hagen for her input on this item.
Ms. Hagen (Tape Time: 0:31:05) stated that the purpose of this information was (1) to determine the funding assistance needed for the “approved” items on the Major Project list to enable completion of these projects sooner and enable the community to benefit from them sooner, as opposed to waiting to save up the needed funds and (2) to determine what

February 12, 2026	Coral Bay CDD

specifically-designated reserves might be needed for the future. To assist with this determination, she put together a packet for the Board with potential loan options. She then walked the Board through the packet and reviewed the data contained therein. She noted that the needed funding could be accomplished through either a loan or a bond, but that a bond would have a much higher acquisition cost. She further noted that (1) given the maximum annual repayment that the Board wants to make, (2) given that management had determined that any repayment more than 5 years would require a bond, and (3) assuming the current average interest rate, the maximum loan (not bond) amount possible would be
$400,000. Lastly, she stated that these were really reference documents to aid in the Board’s decision regarding the Major Project and Reserves funding, but that the Board probably would not make any decision before finalizing the Major Project list.
(At this point (Tape Time: 0:48:18) a discussion was held among the Board members, Ms. Hagen and Mr. Gill relating to this item) (The Board then discussed and made comments on Mr. Mizusawa’s revised major projects list spreadsheet)

MOTION:

Authorizing District staff to obtain more information on a
$400,000 loan at the best interest rate possible, with a 5-year term, with essentially the same repayment terms as the previous loan/bond in order to move forward with the
community projects.

	Engineer – Update on Landshore Enterprises, LLC Construction Proposals for Indian Key Dead End Outfall Erosion Repair
Mr. Hall (Tape Time: 1:41:51) moved on to item No. 5B, engineer, and asked Mr.
Geiger for any updates.
Mr. Geiger (Tape Time: 1:41:54) gave a brief update on the docks and stated the contractor had started on the project and are now in construction. They also have an inspection scheduled with the City of Margate and they just got started on the clubhouse. Mr. Geiger also stated the contractor does not do hand railings, which was not included in any of

February 12, 2026	Coral Bay CDD

the pricing, and that was originally discussed a couple years ago so the District does need to look at finding a contractor to do the hand railings.
Mr. Mizusawa (Tape Time: 1:42:55) also made a comment relating to the hand rails stating he had spoken to Mr. Padilla about identifying specific contractors who would be able to take on the hand rail project and this was something he was actively working on obtaining quotes for. Mr. Mizusawa also made a few additional comments relating to the quotes and changes orders received from the contractor, South Florida Deck and Seawall, stating none of them identify the docks, they were just called dock 1 and dock 2, not identifying if it was the clubhouse or Peninsula Park and no reference to Coral Bay CDD as the customer.
(At this point (Tape Time: 1:44:34) a discussion was held among the Board members, and Mr. Geiger relating to this item)

Mr. Geiger (Tape Time: 1:46:24) also gave a brief update on the precast wall panel repair stating it was completed and painted, and the columns were done and replaced, so all repairs that were needed were done. He also stated the curb replacement the Board approved at the last meeting would commence the first week of March to replace the Islamorada Circle with low profile curb. The contract has been executed with a maximum of 2 weeks to complete the project. Mr. Geiger (Tape Time: 1:47:12) then gave a brief update on the Indian Key dead end outfall erosion repair and stated that Landshore Enterprises completed their engineering and survey work which was done because the City of Margate would not permit the original scope of work because the method of construction did not comply with city code. He also stated based on Landshore’s engineering analysis and their survey, they put together a new quote for a different method which would be a more of a permanent solution, and the original estimate was just under $20,000 and the new estimate would be $28,110.
(At this point (Tape Time: 1:48:46) a discussion was held among the Board members, Mr. Geiger, Mr. Gill and Mr. Padilla relating this item)

To approve the new estimate from Landshore Enterprises, LLC for the Indian Key dead end outfall erosion repair in the
