155	application of reflectors to regulatory signs leaving residue behind, paint on streets, and	
156	unauthorized modifications of District landscaping. The Board discussed setting clear	
157	response parameters to violations of District policies. Mr. Brown suggested letting the	
158	District Manager exercise discretion in line with instances of policy violations. He believes	
159	it would be a good idea to communicate orally and in writing for documental purposes. The	
160	Sheriff’s office will be contacted for more severe issues and potentially issue an official	
161	trespassing warning as the first step. For repeat offenders, the Board may pursue small	
162	claims action. The Board discussed an owner known to have instances of reoccurring	
163	violations of District policy.	
164		
165

166		
167		
168	Mr. Egizii asked for clarification on recourse for people connecting drainage to the sewage	
169	system. Mr. Brown advised that the sewage system has been turned over to the County,	
170	and they would be contacted regarding any illicit connection.	
171		
	On a Motion by Mr. Egizii, seconded by Mr. Grubbs, with Ms. Coram opposed, the Board	
	directed Staff to send a written notice of policy violation to landowners known to have	
	violated District policies, for NatureWalk Community Development District.	
172		
173

175	Parking in Phase 3

178	adding additional parking in Phase 3. She would like to begin pursuing the project since the	
179	project was budgeted in the new fiscal year. General discussion ensued. The Board

181	paver parking pads.

183		
184	NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Continued	Discussion	and	
185	Consideration of Action Item List

198	repair. It appears that there’s been general settling causing the sidewalk to become	
199	unlevel with the owner’s driveway pavers. General discussion ensued regarding the	
200	Sidewalk Repair Easement in the NatureWalk Homeowners’ Association, Declaration	
201	of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions and the owners’ responsibility to repair the	
202	sidewalk and/or bring the driveway level to the sidewalk. General discussion ensued.	
203	The Board directed Staff to send a notice regarding the necessary repair to the owner	
204	of the property adjacent to the sidewalk.
