Mr. Gilbert stated that his staff repaired this water main and the Board agreed that a bill needs to be sent to the property owner as they are responsible for this damage.

The Board discussed getting an estimate for more frequent maintenance from EarthGuard as well as obtaining estimates from other companies.

ii. Other Follow Up Items

The Board requested that Mr. Gilbert or Mr. Pepin grab the business sign that someone placed between the old and new location for the Collier Model Aeronautic Club on Parcel 13. Mr. Gilbert stated that he would take care of this for the Board.

E. Engineer’s Report

Mr. Benson commented on the storm water retention areas and stated that he believed these were created under County permits not Water Management District permits. He stated he will look at the plans for the water retention ponds and see where a pipe might be clogged and notify Mr. Gilbert to help eliminate the standing water concern.

Mr. Benson discussed the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) water use permit. He stated that a ten year water use compliance report needs to be submitted for the permit. Mr. Benson discussed a proposal he received from the hydrogeologist for $8,450 to prepare the ten year report for SWFWMD.
