FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Ratification of Conveyance of Improvements to District Mr. Haber stated the District will be acquiring improvements that will stay with the CDD such as stormwater, roadways, those types of improvements for phases 1A, 1B, 1C and a collector road in a total amount of $7,931,422. Presently, only a portion of that has been paid to the contractor so $778,000 approximately still needs to be paid. It is possible that some of those payments have been paid but at minimum we are in a position to process about $7,100,000 for the acquisition of those improvements soon. He noted there are off-site improvements and water and sewer improvements for those same phases. Ultimately, those improvements will go to St. Johns County and the total amount for those is about $6,100,000 and $5,900,000 has been paid to the contractor so we will be able to process a requisition for $5,900,000 and there is about $270 that has not yet been paid but it is possible that by the time we finalize some of that $270 will be paid. On the off-site improvements, it is about $5,900,000 that we are ready process and on the on-site it is $7,100,000 so just over $12,000,000 in improvements.
