Supervisor Requests

Supervisor Mocuta had no comments.

Supervisor Graci suggested allowing the commercial association and/or Presidents' Council to meet in the District's Board Room every other month in order to keep the community updated. Chairman D'Amico agreed with his suggestion, saying it would be worth a try.

Vice Chairman Ney gave a brief overview of the Presidents' Council, which became a very valuable group to the community. He also noted that the commercial association manager would bring in speakers, but the lady who ran it, Tiffany, became too busy to continue to organize the meetings and speakers. Vice Chairman Ney suggested that the District guide it temporarily until someone else takes the reins.

Secretary Doughney and Supervisor Graci noted they could co-host the meetings. Mr. Harrell reminded the Board to avoid getting involved in the discussions and recommended only one Board Member attend the meetings at one time in order to avoid Sunshine Law issues.

That concluded Supervisor Requests.

M.	Adjournment
