Engineer's Report

The District Engineer distributed his written report (copy attached).
He noted that the State Road 7 extension is active again. He described the new plans for working out the drainage and permit issues.

He discussed the status of the District’s water use for the past year. Two factors affecting the future water usage are the conversion of one section of FPL’s land to a solar farm and the conversion of crops to sugar cane from vegetables.

Treasurer Portnoy expressed concern that the District has no mechanism for assuring that the District’s permit review and processing costs are collected. The District explains the current deposit requirement. Supervisor Elsner recommended that the deposit be increased to $1500.
The District Engineer reported on ITID’s response to our proposed revisions to the Memorandum of Agreement. He discussed the cost estimate for improving the berm along the Moss Property. Mr. Poyner described the areas where work is needed. The Engineer ruled out the possibility of getting a grant to improve the levee. Mr. Poyner described how he could improve the berm at a relatively modest cost. The Board directed Mr. Wertepny to inform ITID that we will not sign the MOA. The District Attorney explained that it is the landowners, not the CDD, who are potentially being impacted by any overflow from the Moss Pilot Project. G L Homes, as the primary landowner, should review the situation with its legal counsel. Supervisor Portnoy stated that in his opinion, the MOA is a useless agreement.

The attorney agreed with him. The Engineer pointed out that the water in the Moss Property is going to flow first toward the FPL transmission line easement before it moves toward the CDD property.
Operations Manager's Report

The Operations Manager discussed his written report, a copy of which is attached.

He discussed where the areas along the Corbett Property that need to be repaired. The Board authorized him to do one week’s worth of work on the berm repairs.
Mr. Poyner said the Santa Rosa requested consent to install a 48 inch pipe for drainage. He said it looks like there will not be an agreement with the owners and ITID. Mr. Wertepny said that there should be a control elevation of 18.5 feet. The Board directed Mr. Poyner to tell Santa Rosa that they are not allowed to install the pipe and instead to use the existing connection and make internal improvements to their drainage system.

Treasurer's Report

The Treasurer reported that as of the end of December the bank account had $166,000.

Cypress Grove Community Development District District Engineer's Report
January 19, 2021

Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual

On November 12, 2020, the Palm Beach Post published an article on concerns by water utilities, farmers and Seminole Tribe of Florida that the proposed Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) reservoir in western Palm Beach County and South Florida Water Management (SFWMD) proposed reservation rule for the reservoir does not take into account existing legal users that rely on Lake Okeechobee for water supply. The amount of water potentially reserved for EAA reservoir from Lake Okeechobee could harm other users. Tentatively SFWMD reserved some time at its December 10, 2020 Board meeting for a hearing. At the December 10, 2020 SFWMD Board meeting the staff presented amended changes to the EAA Reservation Rule that incorporated existing legal water users concerns and allowed the EAA Reservation Rule to move forward which will expedite construction of the EAA Reservoir (240,000 acre-feet of storage). The SFWMD unanimously approved the amended rule. All stakeholders participating in the public meeting were supportive of the SFWMD staff and Board.

Current Lake Okeechobee Water Levels
On January 14, 2021, the Lake level was at 15.67 Feet NGVD. The one- year graph of the Lake Okeechobee water level and the low management zone.
