Discussion on Recent Survey Responses Regarding Community Events • Chief of Staff Cosio informs the Board that staff received 64 responses to the survey with overwhelming interest in seeing live performances in the Village. • Respondents preferred to hold these performances on a monthly basis in addition to already scheduled Village events. They also want to see other areas activated besides just parks and would prefer to see this programming on weekend afternoons and evenings. • 57 percent of respondents said they would like to see family-friendly and children’s performances. • Responses to Question 6 asking what kinds of performances residents would like to see included: live music/bands (33 mentions), solo musicians/performers (11 mentions), comedy (10 mentions). o Other categories/themes that received less than 10 mentions include: dance class, magicians, green markets, arts & crafts, “Ted Talk” events, chef competitions, and car shows. • Interim Village Manager Rollason brings up the idea to have a harpist perform and also to invite some kids from New World School of the Arts. • Responses to Question 7 asking what kinds of community programs would help enhance our NBV community included: o Health & wellness (9 mentions): tai Chi/yoga, walking/running/biking groups, gym facilities, meditation; o Educational programs (7 mentions): informational talks, environmental education including cleaning the Bay and water quality, habitat/wildlife education, cooking classes, workshops; o Social & community building (7 mentions): happy hours, singles meet-ups, block parties, book clubs; o Arts & Culture (6 mentions): art exhibits, local artist programs, cultural events, craft fairs; o Sports & Recreation (5 mentions): kids’ sports programs, pickleball; o Community infrastructure & services (5 mentions): community center, traffic/safety programs, neighborhood watch, street cleaning, community garden; o Entertainment & markets (4 mentions): food trucks, farmers markets, open air movies, live music. • Chief of Staff Cosio brings up the idea to create a resident civics bootcamp to educate the average resident on how our Village works and who are the people that help manage our city. • Board Member Petrini is interested in learning how our current programs are advertised because it seems like some respondents are not aware that some of the things they are asking for are already going on. • Vice Chair Farrugia would like to see a timeline for development so we can plan out what programs we should implement now versus long-term.

• Vice Chair Farrugia asks if there is room for collaboration with SRTF on some of these items related to sustainability. o Chief of Staff Cosio offers to find synchronicities between the two advisory boards as well as inviting Mayor Streitfeld to a future CEB meeting to explore ways the Boards can collaborate. • Board Member Petrini would like to see a choir group sponsored by the Village to perform at Village businesses during the holiday season. • Chief of Staff Cosio says we will start with solo artists and he will send the Board different options he finds for the first round of performances. • Interim Village Manager Rollason says his neighborhood does an annual dog show and it turns out a lot of neighbors. B. Discussion on Urban Land Institute Recommendations for Pirates Alley • Chief of Staff Cosio presents the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) Pirates Alley Recommendations: o Most of the recommended upgrades to Pirates Alley are being considered for implementation in a future fiscal year. o Some of the upgrades include: adding canopies, repaving to create one lane dedicated to pedestrian traffic, burying FPL lines. o Vice Chair Farrugia asks if the current Village Hall building is expected to be developed. Chief of Staff Cosio says no plans have been submitted to the Village at this time. o Interim Village Manager Rollason says we had previously approached the owners of the Sushi Siam to develop the plot behind the restaurant into a pocket park or dog park but they were not interested. However, we can revisit that and reapproach them. o Board Member Petrini asks about the status of development for Presidente Supermarket. Chair Quay says it is part of Sunbeam’s plans for redevelopment and the building will come down in the next few years. o Board Member Petrini says we should keep in mind what the plans are for these areas and adjust our implementation strategy to reflect those plans. o Chief of Staff Cosio shows the notes from the various meetings the ULI team had with property and business owners in the area along Pirates Alley. o Chief of Staff Cosio says Village staff looked for quotes for string lights throughout the Alley and the quote came back at just over $100,000. o Interim Village Manager Rollason says Commissioner Cuk seems to be a champion for placemaking and programming Pirates Alley. o Interim Village Manager Rollason says there are plans to repave all of Treasure Island and Pirates Alley is part of that project scope. o Chair Quay and Board Member Petrini both agree that particular attention should be given to East Treasure Drive in front of TIES. o Board Member Petrini says he has seen development in other areas in South Florida where developers don’t consider ride share pickup/drop-off areas when they build. He doesn’t want that to happen in NBV with the new Publix and other projects.

o Interim Village Manager Rollason says a traffic study will be required to assess these kinds of things. o Board agrees that repaving would be a good first step to beautifying Pirates Alley. o Interim Village Manager Rollason mentions that Harbor Island recently underwent a sealcoating job. o Commissioner Daro says sealcoating for Pirates Alley would be nice as well as one-off events to reintroduce the space to residents. o Commissioner Daro says he is willing to help sponsor a live music event or a cross between that and another item that has already been discussed just to show residents that we are trying to program the space. 5. Staff/Commission Liaison Updates Chief of Staff Cosio says advisory board members will be officially reappointed at the December Commission meeting. He advises Board members to make sure they are set to be reappointed by contacting the Village Clerk’s office. Chief of Staff Cosio says he will meet with the Interim Village Manager to assess immediate next steps regarding Pirates Alley. 6. Public Comments None. 7. Discussion of Agenda Items for Next Meeting: January 22, 2024 Board members request that the next meeting be held in person at Village Hall so that the group can walk through Pirates Alley behind the building. 8.

Mr. Rollason commits to the Board that he will help support their ideas and initiatives at the Village Commission level. iv. Mr. Petrini asks about Pirates Alley.

2 lights due to the tall delivery trucks that drive through. v. Vice Chair Farrugia requests that staff add an item to the next meeting to discuss the ULI recommendations for Pirates Alley. vi. Commissioner Daro adds that the ULI Report did have several categories of what they recommended we do in the short-terms. mid-term vs. long-term. vii.

Vice Chair Farrugia and Mr. Petrini ask about Sunbeam's recent purchase of the apartments behind Village Hall on North Treasure Drive and generally ask about the zoning in the Village. ix. Mr. Cosio says he will send the Board a zoning map of the Village. 4B. Mr. Cosio informs the Board about the new NBV Chamber of Commerce. Previously the Village was a member of the Miami Beach Chamber but recently got interest from local developers and businesses to start our own. The part-time executive director Kristen Minihan is a Moda resident and is working diligently to get the program off the ground with our business and development community. Mr. Cosio says we have not done any recent collaborations with neighboring municipalities with regard to recreation and community events. We typically limit those to NBV staff and community since our funds are supposed to benefit only our residents. Mr. Rollason says that we will have new spaces for performances and events once new buildings are built. 4C Mr. Petrini would like staff to look into musical programming one-off events separate from our usual events calendar. Mr. Cosio says he will prepare a survey that staff will promote for community feedback. Mr. Cosio says FIU and UM have student bands and individual music performers that would probably enjoy coming to the Village for a pop-up show. Mr. Rollason says that New World School of the Arts is also a great resource for this. Separately, Mr. Petrini asks about transportation services in the area. Mr. Cosio says the Village recently met with CityBike to look at potentially bringing a station to NBV and connect to the existing Miami Beach CityBike infrastructure. Mr. Cosio says the station would take up two parking spaces and so staff will look at potential sites, and it would come at no cost to our residents. 5. Staff / Commission Liaison Updates 6.
