Update on Drainage System Dispute: Bob Toth advised The Southwest Water Management District has confirmed in writing the following: "The operational and maintenance entity was approved as Seminole Lakes Inc. and they remain the current and valid operation and maintenance entity. This is considered an acceptable operational and maintenance entity and satisfies the District requirements because ownership and control of the surface water management system has been retained."

The Board considers this matter closed.
