Mr. Weyer presented the proof of publication in the local paper. He also mailed the audit
proposal to five firms that are mostly on the east coast. He received 2 proposals. One from
Berger Tombs, et.al. and the other from Grau & Associates. 31
He asked Mr. Davenport about procedure protocol and Mr. Davenport said that the Board
could score the two proposals by category individually or the Board could come to a
consensus on a category score for each proposal. Ms. Kaiser said her preference would be
to deliberate amongst the Board Members and come to a consensus. 36
Mr. Weyer the put the Excel score sheets up on the screen.  He pointed out that there are
five categories including price and noted that the Board would need to score on all five
categories.
40
Ms. Kaiser led off with a discussion on the Grau proposal. Grau is the current auditor.
They have two CPAs on staff. They primarily do CDD work. 329 of their 360 clients are
CDDs around Florida. An important consideration is their availability. They are charging
$4,500 for the first year, $4,600 for 2024 and $4,700 for 2025. Ms. Altaee pointed out that
they are very familiar with the District as they have been auditing the District for the past
8 years.

2	fee from Berger is $3,975 for each of the three years for a total of $11,925. Grau totaled	
3	$13,800. The difference is $1,875 over the three years. Ms. Altaee said that the difference	
4	is not that great, especially with the potential time and cost to educate a new auditing firm	
5	about the District. They represent about 120 Districts. Ms. Kaiser said both proposals were	
6	very close in terms of content.				
7						
8	The Board then scored both proposals.	Ability of Personnel both get 20.	Proposer’s	
9	experience Grau gets a 20, Berger gets an 18. Both firms were given a 20 on understanding	
10	the scope of work.	Both firms were given a 20 on their ability to provide the required	
11	services category.					
12						
13	Although Grau was a little higher, they were a fixed price without any increases and Berger	
14	had a caveat that if there were further work requirements then they would bill for that work	
15	at their standard rates. The Board determined that Grau would be given an 18 and Berger	
16	would be given a 17.

Consideration of the November 30, 2023, Financial Statements.
16
Mr. Weyer presented the November 2023 Financial Statements to the Board. From a cash
flow perspective, the District cash position at fiscal year-end is $42,000 in the account.
The caveat is that some of the carry-over was used to cover expenses for October and
November. The new assessments are now coming in and will bring the bank balance back
up to $42,000 plus all of the operations & maintenance assessments hit the bank account. 22
Mr. Weyer then presented a new budget format that better compares the budget to actual
on a monthly basis. The prior budget to actual format compared the actual cash payments
to the annual budget which distorted the results. Mr. Weyer went through the expense
items to better contemplate what the expenses will be on a monthly basis so that we can
track the true cash flow. He pointed out that with the new format, the District estimated
expenses would be $15,000 and the District expenses actually came in at $12,500. 29
30	Mr. Barton asked when will the first payment from Grau be due. Mr. Weyer said that they
31	invoice for about $2,000 in March, another $1,000 in April and the final payment when
32	they deliver the final audit. 33

On MOTION by Mr. Barton and seconded by Ms. Altaee with all in favor, the Board of Supervisors of the Fronterra Community Development District accepted the November 2023 financial statements.

3	A.	Manager’s Report –
4
5	Mr. Weyer reported that he had a couple of items to go over: 6
1. Mr. Weyer presented a recent encroachment agreement. He pointed out that it
was initially incomplete as it does not include the formal letter from the HOA
architectural committee. Most easements are on the sides of the house, so they
are not a problem. Mr. Barton pointed out that the language where if the District
has to perform working the easement, that any encroachments moved during
the process is at the expense of the owner. 13
2. Mr. Weyer then presented pictures of the tour he took earlier on this day. He
covered the lake area (it is in very good shape, water is clear, the algae has
disappeared and the aerators are working.) He showed a couple of small erosion
spots around the lake, but they are not significant. Mr. Weyer will obtain a
quote from a general contractor that performs lake bank maintenance on his
other CDDs. The signs are still bent, turned around or not facing correctly. 20
3. There was an extensive conversation about the irrigation line locations. Mr.
Weyer will set up a tour with Ms. Kaiser to walk the irrigation lines and look at
the landscape encroachments, the preserve areas and the exterior signs in the
Community.
25
4. Ms. Kaiser suggested that we have an educational program during our next
meeting that we educate the residents about the District easements and how the
District functions.
29
30	5. Ms. Kaiser had a homeowner ask if the meetings could be put on Zoom. There
31	was a discussion by the Board and it was determined that we would allow
32	residents to attend by Zoom but their interaction with the Board would be
33	limited to the public speaking section of the meeting. 34

Muhlenbergia capillaris1
Edward F. Gilman2

Introduction
Muhly Grass has a clumping form growing 3- to 4-feet-tall and about as wide. A stiff, upright growth habit makes this markedly different from many other grasses. Delicate purple flowers emerge in the fall well above the foliage and can literally cover the foliage. It is native to pine flatwoods, coastal upland and beach dunes, and sandhill communities. This is very similar to Muhlenbergia filipes.

Use and Management
Muhly Grass is a tough native grass useful in many different landscape sites. It has extreme tolerance to drought and flooding making it suited for wetland sites as well as beach front landscapes. It would be hard to find a more adaptable grass. Muhly Grass makes a nice, fine-textured mass planting for sites ranging from roadside to residential landscape. Plant them in large sweeping drifts on a large landscape for a dramatic effect. It is virtually maintenance free except in those instances where you might want to remove the brown foliage in the spring by cutting the clump back to the ground before new growth emerges. Growth is best in sandy or rocky soil.

Pests and Diseases

There are no known pests or problems.

Spartina bakeri1
Edward F. Gilman2

Introduction
Sand Cordgrass is a robust ornamental grass that can form clumps that are 18 to 20 feet in diameter (Fig. 1). This grass may grow from 3 to 4 feet tall, and its fine textured, wiry leaves form a fountain spray pattern. The upper surfaces of the leaves are dark green, but the lower surfaces are light green in color. The obscure flowers of this plant may occur in the early spring but are relatively scarce. The seed-heads of this grass are generally 2 to 8 inches long, but the plant reproduces mainly by rhizomes.

Outstanding plant: plant has outstanding ornamental features and could be planted more
Invasive potential: aggressive, spreading plant
Pest resistance: no serious pests are normally seen on the plant

Use and Management
Sand Cordgrass can be used as an accent or border and is striking when planted in mass. Space plants about 3 to 4 feet apart to form a mass of foliage several years after planting. It is a good native grass for use on the shorelines of ponds and streams and is exquisite when back-lit by the sun. It also is suited for planting in and around water retention and detention areas because of their tolerance to wet soil.

Grow Sand Cordgrass in full sun or light shade on medium dry to wet soils. This plant can tolerate periodic flooding during the growing season and will grow well on the margins of sand ponds and fresh water marshes. Spartina patens and Spartina alterniflora are tolerant of saline water and often grow in coastal saltwater mashes.

Re:	Johnson Engineering, Inc. - New Rate Schedule Dear Mr. Weyer and Board of Supervisors:
Like many firms, we try to absorb increased expenses on a yearly basis. However, rising labor, health care, home and fuel costs have exceeded everyone’s expectations, especially here in Southwest Florida. Revising our rates has also become necessary for us to retain and attract employees with the level of professional expertise that you have come to expect from us.

Attached is our new rate schedule that went into effect on September 6, 2023. Our master contract allows us to take a fee modification before the Board once a year. We believe our new rates continue to remain competitive with that of other top-tier consulting firms. We would appreciate it if this could be addressed at the Board Meeting on February 21, 2024, for implementation upon Board approval.

After 77 years, our firm’s focus remains the same and that is your satisfaction. The community is important to us and if there is anything we can do better to help you, please let us know.

Very truly yours,
JOHNSON ENGINEERING, INC.
