The Board meeting involved several critical vendor and operational decisions following the resignation of JCS. The Board accepted the resignation of JCS effective midnight and subsequently approved a 90-day interim proposal from YKV Living for facility, lifestyle, and field services, amounting to $194,101.30. Amenity staffing was addressed by accepting a 90-day proposal from 813 Services for gate and rover services at $20.00 per hour. Resolution 2026-02, a Budget Amendment, was adopted. The Board approved an invoice payment of $92,195.92 to Elite Pavers for the Cross Creek replacement. Discussions regarding District Engineer reports and an ongoing legal matter at 17923 Cachet Isle occurred. Vendor updates covered landscaping, waterway inspections (noting recurring algae in Pond 10), and security access issues with Envera's pool readers. Financial review raised serious concerns regarding reported figures, leading the Board to approve initiating a Request for Proposal (RFP) for District Management Services, appointing a liaison for the process. Public comments focused heavily on safety, including continuous speeding issues requiring potential police intervention, and complaints regarding the cashing of security deposits for clubhouse rentals; the Board voted to partially refund deposits in two separate incidents. A request for a resident to conduct yoga classes was approved pending final details with facility staff.
