product(s). CUSTOMER agrees to follow the restrictions in its entirety and shall hold DeAngelo 
Contracting Services harmless related to any damages as a result of irrigating prior to expiration of 
irrigation restrictions. 

d. A sudden appearance of dead fish in a lake or pond causes considerable concern and alarm for most 
people. Most fish kill results from natural events, although people can influence their frequency and 
severity. Fish kills usually result from too little oxygen in the water. While some result from spills or 
illegal discharges of toxic substances, most kills occur when oxygen dissolved in the water drops to levels 
insufficient for fish survival. For a dissolved oxygen or DO-related fish kill to occur, a combination of 
environmental conditions transpires simultaneously. Weather patterns, water temperature, depth and 
quality, amount and type of plant growth, fish community structure, along with the presence of viruses 
and bacteria are all factors that are necessary to trigger a fish kill. Lakes, ponds, and canals located in 
residential areas are particularly vulnerable to DO related fish kills. Developed areas create runoff that 
contain high amounts of nutrients. In addition, street and yard drainage that enters waterbodies can 
cause water quality problems. High levels of nutrients from fertilizers applied to lawns, golf courses and 
farms cause aquatic plants to thrive. Ponds with high nutrient levels produce dense growths of 
microscopic plants called algae. When sunlight is available, algae use nutrients and produce oxygen 
through the process of photosynthesis. Most oxygen available to fish comes from algae. During 
nighttime and cloudy weather, low sunlight causes algae to switch from photosynthesis to respiration, 
consuming oxygen needed by fish. During severe events, fish can suffocate from low DO. Most 
frequently, however, fish become stressed during a low DO period and become susceptible to viral or 
bacterial infections. Most times, fish can tolerate temporary lags in DO levels. Fish kills occur when 
several contributory factors occur simultaneously such as prolonged cloudy weather, drought 
conditions, overcrowded fish populations, excessive algae or other plant growths and high-water 
temperatures. Rarely is there a direct fish kill as a result of products used for treatment when applied at 
the specified label rates and use. The CUSTOMER agrees to hold DeAngelo Contracting Services harmless 
for any issues with fish or other aquatic life which occur as described above, unless there is willful 
negligence on the part of DeAngelo Contracting Services. 

 

13. Contract Documents: 

This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement of DeAngelo Contracting Services and the CUSTOMER. If any 
portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall be 
binding upon both parties. No oral or written modification of the terms contained herein shall be valid unless made 
in writing and accepted by an authorized agent of both DCS and CUSTOMER.

payment to DCS through the effective "Date of Termination" as determined by the procedure outlined above in 
Paragraphs 11. 

12. OTHER ITEMS: - 


a. Water testing necessary for gathering specific and additional information for the purposes of 
determining any additional Aquatic Algae and Vegetation Control Treatment programs for a water body 
or bodies of the CUSTOMERS will require a signed Special Service Agreement (SSA) detailing the details 
of the testing and associated cost before testing begins and will be invoiced separately, 

b. Work or other expenses related to request(s) by CUSTOMER for services that are not specified in this 
contract will require a signed Special Service Agreement (SSA) detailing the requested additional 
services and associated costs before work may begin. This SSA will be invoiced separately upon 
completion of the work detailed in the SSA. 

c. The CUSTOMER is responsible for notifying DCS in advance of the signing of this contract if they utilize 
any of the water in their bodies of water for irrigation purposes. DCS may, when necessary, use products 
that have irrigation restrictions that is appropriate or necessary for aquatic vegetation control and 
management. DCS, will notify CUSTOMER in writing of any irrigation restrictions related to the use of the 
product(s). CUSTOMER agrees to follow the restrictions in its entirety and shall hold DeAngelo 
Contracting Services harmless related to any damages as a result of irrigating prior to expiration of 
irrigation restrictions. 

d. A sudden appearance of dead fish in a lake or pond causes considerable concern and alarm for most 
people. Most fish kill results from natural events, although people can influence their frequency and 
severity. Fish kills usually result from too little oxygen in the water. While some result from spills or 
illegal discharges of toxic substances, most kills occur when oxygen dissolved in the water drops to levels 
insufficient for fish survival. For a dissolved oxygen or DO-related fish kill to occur, a combination of 
environmental conditions transpires simultaneously. Weather patterns, water temperature, depth and 
quality, amount and type of plant growth, fish community structure, along with the presence of viruses 
and bacteria are all factors that are necessary to trigger a fish kill. Lakes, ponds, and canals located in 
residential areas are particularly vulnerable to DO related fish kills. Developed areas create runoff that 
contain high amounts of nutrients. In addition, street and yard drainage that enters waterbodies can 
cause water quality problems. High levels of nutrients from fertilizers applied to lawns, golf courses and 
farms cause aquatic plants to thrive. Ponds with high nutrient levels produce dense growths of 
microscopic plants called algae. When sunlight is available, algae use nutrients and produce oxygen 
through the process of photosynthesis. Most oxygen available to fish comes from algae. During 
nighttime and cloudy weather, low sunlight causes algae to switch from photosynthesis to respiration, 
consuming oxygen needed by fish. During severe events, fish can suffocate from low DO. Most 
frequently, however, fish become stressed during a low DO period and become susceptible to viral or 
bacterial infections. Most times, fish can tolerate temporary lags in DO levels. Fish kills occur when 
several contributory factors occur simultaneously such as prolonged cloudy weather, drought 
conditions, overcrowded fish populations, excessive algae or other plant growths and high-water 
temperatures. Rarely is there a direct fish kill as a result of products used for treatment when applied at 
the specified label rates and use. The CUSTOMER agrees to hold DeAngelo Contracting Services harmless 
for any issues with fish or other aquatic life which occur as described above, unless there is willful 
negligence on the part of DeAngelo Contracting Services. 

 

13. Contract Documents: 

This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement of DeAngelo Contracting Services and the CUSTOMER. If any 
portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall be 
binding upon both parties. No oral or written modification of the terms contained herein shall be valid unless made 
in writing and accepted by an authorized agent of both DCS and CUSTOMER.

Date of request: 9/20/23 Submitted by: Kevin McKendree 

Repair: 

 

We are experiencing issues with drainage in a common bed area located at 438 Shinnecock Dr. located in Highpoint. 
Due to the area’s inability to properly drain the plant material in the common area has declined. Included below is a 
proposal to install 3 drain boxes that will alleviate the water from this area. Also included is landscaping that will 
bring the area back to standard. All for your consideration in the total amount of $7,479.

RECDD’s BOS Monthly Operations Report 

 

Date of report: 9/20/2023 Submitted by: Jason Davidson & Kevin McKendree 

 

RECDD I 

 

RiverHouse Light Pole: 

The timeline to get the parts to fix this light has taken longer than expected. At this point the company 
we originally hired has become unresponsive and we have contracted a different electrician who should 
be able to source the parts as he has experience with Sternberg lighting. 

 

Dog Parks: 

It was requested in last month’s CDD meeting to gather cost information for adding a more efficient 
locking system. We have contracted Sterling Fence to install the same locks that the new dog park will 
have but due the price is high. We can order the parts and do the repair in house saving the community 
roughly $700. 

 

RiverHouse Pool Speakers: 

The Riverhouse pool speakers’ replacement job is complete and all is functioning correctly. 

 

Surge Protection on Panels: 

It was requested in the July BOS meeting to investigate surge protection on breaker panels. We explored 
options at the RiverClub with our recent lightning issues and opted to go with a Ditek 100kA surge 
protector. We inquired into protection through FPL, they do provide protection at the meter at $35 a 
month but use of this would be on a case by case basis. 

 

Encroachment Audit: 

In the July BOS meeting it was requested that our team audit all fence encroachments and for legal to 
draft a formal letter to issue to violators. This will be an offseason task (winter sometime Nov. through 
Feb). 

Tennis Court Maintenance: 

We have been fielding concerns regarding the temporary pickleball courts, specifically trouble 
delineating between the tennis and pickleball lines during play. We were able to paint over the pickleball 
lines with a blue color to assist with this and so far, community feedback has been positive. 


 

Splash Pad: 

The splash pad is back up and running after having the motor replaced. We are still awaiting quotes for 
comparison on the chemical controller to be replaced. 

 

Patio Lights: 

Our in-house maintenance team replaced the worn-out patio lights at the RiverHouse. They 
cosmetically look much better and are on a photocell that is tied into other lighting in the building. 

 

Rambling Water Run Inlet Repair: 

It was found that there was a sink hole forming behind a storm water drain located on Rambling Water 
Run. This inlet failed previously from curbside, this time it is failing from the sidewalk side of the inlet. 
Staff has acquired a proposal for repair and is working with the District Engineer in an effort to execute 
the repair through HEB Services, Inc. This repair is now complete and we are awaiting sod replacement. 

 

100 Rambling Water Run Inlet Repair. 

We received reports of a sinkhole forming around a sewer inlet in the alley behind 100 Rambling Water 
Run. We verified the scope of work with the district engineer before signing the agreement. This repair 
is now complete. 

 

Alley Way Parking: 

We have received numerous complaints about residents parking on the paver areas in the Allys around 
the original Mainstreet district. We are sending out an E blast to not park here after which we will begin 
installing no parking signs in these areas. 

 

Riverfront Park Lights: 

The timer that controls the lighting at the Riverfront Park became non operational and would not shut 
off. We had this replaced and all is operational. 

 

Gardens Curbing Issue: 

Mr. Baron stated at last month’s CDD meeting that he spoke with a resident in the Gardens Phase I and 
the alley that is going to the garage access points does not have curbing. The phase 2 in the Gardens 
does have curbing. They were informed that when they were the last units going in that the curbing 
would be installed, and it had not been installed. They are requesting that curbing be installed. We are 
awaiting word from the engineer on whether or not it is within the specifications that were designed or 
is it deficient in the curbing. 

 

Hurricane Idalia Update: Lap Pool 


During our post storm inspection, we found that we were unable to get the motor on the Lap pool to 
start because there is no power going to the controller. We had an electrician come out to 
troubleshoot on 9/1 and he was able to get the pool back online. The VFD is shot and we have plans to 
install a in-line motor starter in lieu of it similar to what we did on the family pool earlier this year. We 
are also having the seals replaced between the motor and pump as a leak developed during the motors 
down time. 

 

Riverfront Park Vandalism: 

Over the holiday weekend the pier was vandalized. Paint from a job site was splattered all over the pier. 
We received word from St. Johns River Water Management District that there are no stipulations on 
how we need to clean this up as it lies right on the river. We had the deck pressure washed to remove 
the paint and it is now up to standard. 

 

Sternwheel Park Toys: 

The community was notified in August that they had until Labor Day to remove the toys located in 
Sternwheel Park. Our maintenance staff removed what was left over and will continue to monitor and 
remove if any more show up. 

 

RECDD II 

 

Manor monument lighting: 

We installed sets of solar lights on the entrance monuments. 

 

Riverclub Pool Motor: 

We installed a surge suppression device by Ditek for the panel that controls the pools equipment in 
hopes of avoiding lightning strikes and power surges in the future. We are also in the process of ordering 
a suitable backup motor and gaskets to have on hand. These motors are not readily available locally so 
having a backup would significantly reduce the repair time and allow this pool to always stay up and 
running. 

 

RiverClub Boardwalk Trees: 

Some of the tree limbs along the boardwalk had started to encroach and needed to be lifted. We had 
Yellowstones tree division do a extensive cutback on these so that they should not encroach again for a 
few years. 

 

Adirondack Chairs: 

Multiple chairs around the firepits have begun to split in areas making them unrepairable. We were able 
to scab pieces together to repair 3 of them. We are beginning the process of acquiring quotes to replace 
one of the pits’ complete set of chairs and relocate all the older ones to one pit to remain uniform. 

 

 

 


 

 

RECDD III 

 

Haven Playground: 

Some of the rock-climbing wall holds had come loose and broken. We had some extras on hand and 
were able to replace them. Also the paver steps going to the slide had a few become loose again, we 
secured these and did a thorough evaluation of the staircase to find others that may be loose. All are 
secure for the time being. 

 

 

 

 

All Districts 

 

Outfall structures: 

With hurricane season here our team has been proactive for a while now checking pond outfall 
structures for blockages and removing them when necessary. This aids in keeping the stormwater 
management system flowing to prevent flooding. I feel confident that when a storm comes, we will be 
ready! 

 

Ponds: 

We were able to contract out 2 companies to provide temporary service to our ponds as Charles 
Aquatics exits the property. They are Aquagenix and J and J Aquatics. Both companies will be submitting 
bids for the RFP. Aquagenix will be servicing CDD 1, J and J in CDDs 2 and 3. Both companies will be 
treating their territories twice during the month of September in hopes of regaining control of the 
conditions.
