To: Board of Directors From: Shari Haldeman, General Manager/COO Re: Weekly Report Date: August 21, 2020 Security (Tim Cook) Fire On Friday, August 14, Landings Security and Chatham Emergency Services (CES) responded to a residence on Mercer Road for a fire. The residents advised that they were running a woodchipper, and the carburetor clogged which caused gas to leak out onto the driveway. The gas ignited, sending flames across the driveway. CES extinguished the fire, and no injuries were reported. Theft Landings Security and Chatham County Police Department (CCPD) responded to a residence on Tidewater Way for a report of theft on Saturday, August 15. The resident advised that approximately 8-10 juveniles entered her home and stole $150 from her son’s bedroom. The juveniles left on golf carts prior to the arrival of officers. The resident further stated that some of the individuals were acquaintances of her son. CCPD is handling the case. On Monday, August 17, Landings Security and CCPD were notified of a theft from a boat at Landings Harbor Marina. The theft occurred between late Saturday night (8/15) and early Sunday morning (8/16). The resident boat owner advised that two rods-and-reels valued at approximately $700 were missing from his boat. Security and Marina personnel reviewed video footage via the Avigilon camera system and witnessed two suspects taking the items from the boat and leaving the dock. A Swift911 alert with a link to the video of the suspects was sent out to the community in an effort to identify the two individuals. The video footage was shared with CCPD, and they are actively investigating this incident. Security and Marina staff are actively engaged with residents about possible tighter controls at the Marinas to decrease perceived risks of guests using these facilities without their sponsoring resident. Vandalism While performing routine patrols on Sunday, August 16, a Landings Security officer noticed that the speed limit sign at the intersection of Westcross Road and Franklin Creek Road South had been spray painted. Public Works was notified to resolve the issue. No suspects have been identified. Landings Security responded to the cart path adjacent to Landings Way North for a report of vandalism on Wednesday, August 19. Upon arrival, the officer found that someone had spray painted male genitalia on the cart path. Public Works was notified to resolve the issue. No suspects have been identified.

Main Gate Road Resurfacing Bennett Paving completed the mill and replacement of the entry and exit lanes at the Main Gate late Friday afternoon. Absolute Concrete also completed the necessary concrete work associated with the project. Main Gate Access Control Facility Maintenance Staff took advantage of the Main Gate closure this week to complete preventative maintenance items in and around the Main Gate Access Control Facility. The main gate is in operation 24 hours a day/7 day a week which makes it difficult to complete the necessary preventative maintenance to the interior and exterior of the building. The preventative maintenance items included pressure washing the building and walkways, repainting the doors and handrails, and touching up paint to the interior and exterior of the building. All work was completed before the reopening of the roadway which occurred on Friday, August 21at 11:30am. Moon River Access Control Facility Gate Equipment Replacements On Wednesday, Carolina Time and Parking Group began the removal and replacement of the gate system equipment located at the Moon River Access Control Facility. Barring any weather delays, the Moon River gate system should be fully operational by Tuesday, August 25. Thereafter, Carolina Time will begin the removal and replacement of the Deer Creek Village Access Control Facility gate equipment. Please proceed with caution in and around the facility and be cognizant of the contractors working in this area. Contracted Community Path Maintenance Absolute Concrete replaced 100 linear feet of concrete panels along the path near Ward Lane this week. Staff is unsure as to the cause of the damage; however, it appears the damage was directly related to heavy machinery/trucks traveling on the path. Community Development (Erin Schumacher)
1 & 2 Includes permits issued from Wednesday of last week through Tuesday of current week.
Private Property Maintenance Standards Staff continued inspections in the Phase II area during the routine property inspections. Follow-up inspections were also conducted throughout the island. Two new properties were identified in violation.

There are no planned events scheduled, however, spectators are welcome to enjoy the race from the shoreline. If you attend, remember to have a face covering available in case social distancing cannot be maintained. Occupancy Occupancy adjustments have been made to the dry storage numbers due to some discrepancies resulting from changes to the rack configuration. This report is now correct for occupancy reporting. Staff filled sixteen open dry racks and two wet slips in August. As the Non-residents depart, the openings will continue to be filled from the waiting list. Several trailers and boats have been tagged by security and will be removed from the property by the contracted towing company. If you own a trailer that is in the parking lot at Landings Harbor, I encourage you to act immediately and remove your trailers to avoid towing cost and storage fees. Delegal Creek Marina Delegal Creek Marina remains at full occupancy. Seven new lease agreements were executed for wet slips in August. As the non-residents continue to depart, staff will continue to fill the vacancies from the resident waiting list.

To: Shari Haldeman and Karl Stephens From: Jessica L. Henderson Subject: July Monthly Financial Report Date: August 14, 2020
The purpose of this report is to explain the financial activity of The Landings Association through July 2020.
Balance Sheet At the end of July 2020, Members’ Equity was $12,679,000, an increase of $1,470,000 since December 2019. The members’ equity balance reflects the new FASB revenue recognition standard for reserves that was required in 2019. Prior to 2019, the members’ equity line would reflect the total equity in operating and reserves funds. By complying with the new standard, the balance of members’ equity for reserve funds must be presented in the liability section of the balance sheet until the expenses are recognized/recorded. This presentation change resulted in a total amount of $7,344,036 that was once presented in members’ equity for capital reserves funds now being recorded in deferred revenue.
Change in Equity from December 31, 2019:
As of July 31, 2020, $3,704,000 of our short-term investments are currently invested in individual Certificates of Deposit as well as the CDARS program. Our current cash balance at Ameris Bank is $8,543,000, which is inclusive of two Money Market Accounts. All accounts with a balance are swept daily to maximize interest and to be fully FDIC insured.
The 2020 Assessment statements were mailed January 24, 2020. Assessments were due on March 1, 2020, with late fees occurring April 10, 2020 and suspension of privileges on May 4, 2020. As of August 14, 2020, we have received 99% of the expected Assessment revenues, including 569 owners on the quarterly payment plan.
At the end of July 2020, the Other Assessments & Services accounts receivable balance totaled $315,889, of which $164,395 is current month charges, $62,279 is 31-60 days, $12,383 is 61-90 days, and $76,831 (24%) is between 91-120 days past due. We currently show 28 accounts with a balance over 90 days. We anticipate receiving some of the payments prior to the Board Meeting.
We will continue to monitor the delinquent receivables and have adjusted the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance to reflect the total 90+ past due.

Statement of Operating Revenues & Expenses The attached reports show that through July 2020, the combined Operating Fund generated $681,727 net revenues before depreciation.
TLA Operating Fund Year-to-date gross margin for the Association Operating Fund is $4,779,724, which is $186,468 better than budget. This is due mainly to the Comcast payment and annexation revenue recorded in other revenue. In previous months, we reported vehicle registration revenue performing less than budget, and that is the case year to date. However, in the last three months, we have seen better than budget revenue for vehicle registration. Chipping revenue also performed better than budget in July, which is recorded in member services.
Year-to-date operating expenses are favorable to budget by $364,673. Most expense accounts are under budget, led by staffing, gain or loss on asset disposal, and lagoon related expenses, which is offsetting the increase in Bad Debt expense included in Other Expense and Contingency expense, related to COVID-19.
Net Revenues over Expenses year-to-date are $91,068, which is $557,970 better than the budget, due to most of the expense accounts being under budget.
TLA Marina Operating Year-to-date gross margin for the Marinas is $899,953, which is $22,727 favorable to budget, due mainly to being at or near full capacity for the majority of the year and cost of goods sold.
Year-to-date operating expenses are favorable to budget by $86,276. This is due mainly to the Dredging being performed in a later period and only the deposit being paid to date.
Net Revenues over Expenses year-to-date are $126,813, which is $76,881 favorable to budget.

To: Shari Haldeman, General Manager From: Sean Burgess, Public Works Director Subject: Utility Vehicle Purchase (2) Date: August 3, 2020 Purpose This report recommends the purchase of two (2) 2020 Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles from Kawasaki of Savannah for a total cost of $26,971.06. Background The Public Works Department utilizes UTV’s to conduct a multitude of operational functions including treating and maintaining 151 lagoons, the blowing of community paths and all other operational procedures which cannot be performed by a standard sized vehicle. The department also utilizes the UTVs during the annual road and community path projects. The two current 2015 Polaris Rangers are scheduled for replacement this year as they have been in operation for 5 years with over 25,000 miles on each unit. This mileage well exceeds industry expectations for vehicle longevity. Additionally, both units have exhibited continued issues with suspension and drive belts which is costly to replace. Discussion Public Works staff reviewed all available UTV manufacturers for the scheduled purchase. Upon review, staff concluded the Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 is the best UTV for TLA’s operational use. The Kawasaki Mule is competitively priced, has a high resale value and a lower annual maintenance cost. Bid proposals were sent to Kawasaki of Savannah, Planet Cycle and Kawasaki of Statesboro. Of the three vendors Planet Cycle and Kawasaki of Savannah provided bids within $100 of each other. Kawasaki of Savannah is our local Kawasaki dealer whose location is optimal for any service or warranty needs Planet Cycle is in Claxton, GA and would require additional staff time to drop off the units for any future service. Therefore, staff is recommending that the units be purchased from Kawasaki of Savannah. The two current 2015 Polaris Rangers will be sold on an online auction platform with a minimum bid of $2,000 per unit. Staff believes that selling these units on this platform will allow for competitive bidding resulting in a higher sales price. Fiscal Impact This purchase is captured within the 2020 Capital Asset Management Plan (2020 Budget Book Page 184 and Capital Asset Mgt. Page #284) and will be funded through the Capital Reserves Fund. The purchase price of $26,971.06 is $3,028.94 below the total project budget of $30,000. Implementation Steps
• The purchase recommendation will be presented to the Public Works Committee, Finance Committee and Board of Directors at their respective August meetings.
31
• After Board approval, staff will purchase two (2) Kawasaki Mule utility vehicles by the end of September.
Recommendation Approve the purchase of two (2) 2020 Kawasaki Mule 4010 utility vehicles from Kawasaki of Savannah in the amount of $26,971.06.

Project Name: Public Works Utility Vehicle Purchase (2) Description: Staff is recommending the purchase of two (2) 4010 4x4 Kawasaki Mules from Kawasaki of Savannah. These mules are primarily utilized in the Environmental and Construction Departments. The Environmental Lagoon Crews use the vehicles to address the sections of lagoons within their weekly zones to treat, maintain, and service the 151 lagoons located throughout the community. The spray rigs reside in the back of the rangers and allow for thorough and expeditious transport during the weekly lagoon maintenance cycles. The Construction Department also utilizes the mules during the department’s annual road and community path projects. Is this project budgeted? Yes No Project Budget: $30,000 ($15,000 per unit) (2020 Budget Book Page 184 and Capital Asset Mgt. Page #284). How many vendors were invited to bid? 3 If the project was sole sourced, why? Bid Tabulation:
Kawasaki of Savannah Planet Cycle Kawasaki of
Statesboro
(2) 2020 Kawasaki Mule 4010 4x4 (includes taxes and fees) $26,971.06 $26,875.68 Declined to
Bid
Vendor Notes: Kawasaki of Savannah is our local Kawasaki dealership and has continually provided excellent customer service to The Landings Association. Lowest bid recommended? Yes No If not, why? Kawasaki of Savannah is our local Kawasaki dealership whose location is optimal for any part orders or service/warranty needs. Planet Cycle is in Claxton, GA and would require additional staff time to service and drop off the units. Since the quotes are within $95.38 of each other, staff believes that it is in the best interest of the department to utilize the services of a local dealership. Project Recommended Cost: $26,971.06 If over budget, how will overage be recouped? N/A

4. Delegal Marina Fuel Pump and Fuel Line Replacement (Burgess) • Meco completed all work associated with the project and is in the process of performing the required
testing of the lines, sensors, etc. • The new sumps are much larger than before; therefore, staff will add pinestraw to help blend them

• 2020 Project Overview: o 908 units painted (posts, street signs, yard plaques, mailbox numbers) o 100 posts replaced o 186 mailboxes were replaced o 317 in-house hours o Total Cost of the Program (without staff time): $11,888.18 o Total Cost of the Program (including staff time): $17,982.43 o Program Budget: $15,000
• As an aside, in previous years, in-house staff time was never calculated in the total cost of the program. Due to COVID-19, in-house staff had time to devote to this year’s program as a result of the Sunset Room being closed, limited use of the Administration Building and other TLA amenities.
8. Main Gate Entry/Exit Lane Mill and Replacement (Campbell) • Staff recommended a contract addendum with Bennett Paving for the removal and replacement of
4,610 square yards of asphalt at the Main Gate exit and entry lanes from the 4-way stop to Main Gate Access Control Facility (approximately 300 lineal feet) for a total project cost of $186,350, which includes the replacement of curbing, road striping, and a 10,000 contingency for unexpected expenses associated with the project.
• This section of roadway, in front of the Main Gate, for the entry and exit lanes was last resurfaced in 2006. In 2016, this area received a Top Guard sealcoat application to prolong the full replacement of the lanes. This section of roadway was originally scheduled for replacement in 2024; however, due to the accelerated deterioration of the asphalt and subbase, these lanes need to be addressed immediately, especially the entry lanes.
• The asphalt is failing due to a combination of age, heavy vehicular usage and a deteriorating base caused by water intrusion from saturation along the roadway edges and through the deteriorating asphalt wear layer. This area also receives heavy daily traffic (approximately 10,000 vehicles enter/exit the gate on a daily basis) from vehicles of all sizes and weights, including large dump trucks, delivery vehicles, and commercial contractors.
• Corley MOVED to approve the Mill and Replacement Contract Addendum for Main Gate Entrance & Exit Lanes in the amount of $186,350. The motion was seconded by Thompson and subsequently APPROVED by a unanimous vote.

The Landings Association Marinas Committee Meeting Minutes , July 9, 2020 Committee meeting done remotely with Microsoft Team
In Dave Angell's absence, Mark Piven called the meeting to order at 4:32 pm Staff Present: Larry Sincoskie,, Director Marinas, Shari Haldeman, TLA General Manager, Karl Stephens, TLA, Mark Winters, TLA Liaison Members Present: Mark Piven, Bill Stallings, Mike Welsh, Tara Packer, David Denhard, George La Penta Members Absent: Dave Angell ● A motion was proposed and seconded to excuse Dave Angell's absence and passed unanimously. Previous Minutes: Current agenda and June minutes approved as written. . Old Business: ● Larry reported that 9 boats have been able to be added to the rack system with roof removal. The Contractor will be returning to complete the job in the near future. ● The 4.0 version of Boat Cloud will be up and running in a few weeks. It will give the office better control of scheduling launches, etc. ● Karl Stephens explained the CAMP fund allotment of $1.2 m available for rack replacement at LH if the assessment passes. ● The current rack system designed 40+ years ago is not sufficient to accommodate some new boats that are built wider and taller. At present we do not have the space to house these boats and have to turn residents away. ● The sail boater that has been refusing to pay his slip rent has finally settled his account and will not refuse to pay in the future. New Business: ● Shari reviewed the upcoming assessment vote and explained how it is being promoted by the TLA. She requested the Committee reach out to boat owners and other members to encourage them to vote since at the last vote only 40% of boaters voted. ● TLA will be meeting with Legal to have the NPOMM contract reviewed and determine if after a 30 day notice they can be asked to vacate the marinas. This will open many spaces to accommodate the substantial numbers of residents on waiting lists at both marinas. ● A new LH office manager, Samantha, has been hired and is functioning well. ● Larry will make sure the dockhands at the marinas have functioning VHF radios to be able to communicate with hailing boats. ● Signs need to be posted to help prevent golf carts from parking in limited space for cars and trucks at the marinas, especially Delegal. ● At present there is not a dedicated Transient slip at Delegal. Members need to be advised to post a float plan if they expect to vacate their slip so it can be used for transients while they are away. ● Larry will discus with Public Works to determine if a leaning post to rest dock carts against can be added to the holding space at Delegal. This will help them from filling with water from rain or irrigation.
There being no further business, meeting adjourned at 5:54 pm
Respectfully submitted for the committee, Mark Piven

PROVIDING WILDLIFE SERVICES Landings Property Seven deer were safely removed from the island this month in response of eleven resident complaints. Damage to landscaping historically has increased during the months of July and August as temperatures near triple digits. Deer receive much of their required water intake through forage that they ingest. Landscaping that is watered daily remains green and lush during these dry hot days and is sought after by deer!! Security was notified that a deer may have been shot by a resident after it was seen running onto the golf course and collapsing. A small hole was found in the deer and a Conservation officer with the Department of Natural Resources was notified and the incident is under investigation. Five raccoons were removed from common property this month. Technical assistance was given to one resident concerned with raccoons in her backyard. Several bird feeders and bird baths were found in the backyard which were attracting the raccoons!! Four armadillos were removed this month and technical assistance was given to one resident. Five complaints were received from the Deer creek area concerning coyotes after a resident, Mrs. Sheets two golden retrievers were attacked for a second time this year by a pair of coyotes on the 16th fairway. WS has made numerous attempts to call the coyotes with a predator call, they have been seen but no safe shot has been presented. Traps were also reset in the area and will be monitored daily!! Two vulture complaints were received from the rookery area. An effigy was hung in the area to help disperse the vultures.
