Shortly after this the Florida Legislature passed a water act which preempted the authority of local municipalities or citizens to challenge the status of water pollution. g. Description of a State Constitutional amendment that had been on the books in Pennsylvania since the 1970’s, (regarding Nature Rights), which later was upheld and useful in getting a reign on fracking in the state. h. Our access to clean water must be stable and putting it in the FL Constitution can create a fundamental right to clean waters and enables citizens to sue when water quality is compromised. 1. For example, Biscayne Bay, Miami WaterKeepers can bring forth a lawsuit holding polluters accountable, if we had the right to clean water in our constitution. . i. The US Supreme Court is looking at “what is a wetland?” This amendment could protect our wetlands. j. Water quality standards will be updated soon. k.

!NORTH BAY VILLAGE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE TASK FORCE MEETING ON ZOOM Tuesday, March 28th, 2023 - 6:30P.M. ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Meeting was called to order by Denise O’Brien at 6:32pm. Board Members Present Denise O’Brien, Chair Alisha Graham, Vice Chair Neil Krasner Julia Stutts Board Member Absent Brenda Krebs Village Staff Present Commissioner Rachel Streitfeld Marlon Lobban, Public Works Director Silvia Vargas, NBV City Planner Guests and Members of Public Harold Somarriba, Architect with Wannemacher Jensen Scarlett Lanzas - Accountable Impact Natalia Livian - Project Manager, Wannemacher Jensen Didier Munoz Nicole Barnett 2. Quick review of tonight’s agenda. Intro to participants. a. Commissioner Streitfeld announces that the “mermaid” swimmer will be making her way around our village again in April, to bring attention to clean water. 3. Approval of Minutes: a. Feb. 28, 2023, meeting, Neil moved for approval, Alisha seconded & all in favor. 4. Green Code discussion: a. Silvia Vargas leads comment that our point system was a good baby step, but questions: What we are looking to prioritize in our green code? Energy, emissions, ! 1 5

Stormwater, Health, Sea level rise? The system we have in place focuses a lot on green building techniques. Do we want to look more towards achieving other goals? 1. Certification challenges, like net zero building. 2. Example -Perez Museum is designed with holistic ideas. b. Denise explains, we want to do it all. Where does green building fit in? Main objective is to find incentives for new developers. What design elements can be included in a building to make that structure more environmentally friendly. Hoping to make our green code richer. c. (Silvia) Experience over the last few years has shown with larger projects, our green code elements are already a given. Can there be some level of certification for builders to strive for? Maybe separate out developments from single family homes in our code tables. d. Harold Somarriba, Architect with Wannemacher Jensen, chosen by the city to design the new town hall and fire station. They will look at sustainable principles and this is where Scarlett Lanza fits in. e. Scarlett Lanza speaks of looking at the NBV 100 strategy. How does a new green building fit in with the strategy. What standards or framework are we looking at? Referring to UN130 agenda and SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals). Ms. Lanza says her job is to help organizations (or municipalities) to set a plan. Deni brings this around to say that SDGs are a global standard and for our task force we are looking at the big issues through a micro level. Resiliency and sustainability is our focus in our task force. Maybe we can go through the principles and find a few areas to focus. The environmental footprint study would help, but we don’t have that much we can collect data on at our small city level. Could start with Harbor Island study, but it may not support our goals. Deni and Scarlett both may study for SDGs together and discuss our goals as a village. f. Harold Somarriba brings discussion around to say that silver certification for a green building may be suitable. 1. Alisha asks about costs of certification. 2. Harold replies that $6,000 is an administration cost, for commercial build. Fees are less for single family homes. City may want to add that into our city codes, to help, streaming it into our zoning process. g. (Deni) Two separate tables for green codes for multifamily vs. single family recommended? 1. (Silvia) Possible that NBV could require any new building to be certified a green building in order to get build here. This could be the future? The city would have to give guidance to the individual homeowners. Keeping it easy and simple is important. 2. Alisha mentions plans for homeowners (rainwater harvesting). 3. (Deni), can we have some guidance for those who want to bring improvements to existing homes/buildings? 4. Silvia - the sections of 8.18 to 8.31 deal with sustainability features, like green walls, green roofs, wind turbines and clothes lines. Last section is fairly

2 6

weak but deals with this issue for existing buildings and fast tracking renovation permitting. 5. Alisha - met with architect who designs Net Zero energy - would like to meet with him for our brainstorming. 6. Deni - Beef up the incentives for retro-fitting - like for example, e-charging stations in existing condos. 7. Harold - Incentives for homeowners - additional ideas? The workforce housing incentives fall within this scope, and this is only on the 79th street corridor (transit zone), Silvia explains. Actually the site for town hall is in this zone. This project now does not include housing, however. 8. 15 minute city - we have that… 5 minute city, movie toward that. (Deni) Been 20 years that residents have asked for bay walk, and Silvia says this is the closest we have ever gotten to making this a reality. Our city manager has accomplished a lot. Fertilizer ban in summer, sea wall revision all here before greater Dade County. 9. Harold - as Florida becomes more desirable, an opportunity for growth. Deni - Newcomers can leave as water rises, they don’t know what the challenges are here. h. Bringing discussion around that we need a separate table system for green code for single family vs larger buildings. 1. Silvia- Green space? minimum requirements raised in NBI. Treasure island has lots of plans coming in where the lots are planned with no permeable areas. She believes they need to be heightened. 2. Driveways on treasure - Neil concerned about all the driveways that have large areas of poured concrete grids. Silvia explains, these are better than asphalt driveways. Permeable concrete is getting better. North Bay Island, there is a limitation on footprint. using permeable driveways are important. Hopes zoning can be similar on Treasure Island. 3. Need a robust set of requirements for builders and single Fam homes. 4. Value of points increased. include certifications. 5. Look toward having a liaison for certification system. 6. design elements. 7. Green space and permeability. 8. Implementation of incentives. 5. New City Hall Project: Harold Somarriba - met with city manager and staff regarding ideas. Looking to build aiming at silver certification. Looking to see what we can build that provides a vision of future of NBV. Ralph may be looking at another session to meet regarding plans around April 25th. By then we can have a more developed plan. a. White roofs mentioned earlier, Deni says cant we do a green roof? we want to be a leader on this. b. Water recovery systems? not looked into yet. c. Discussion here today does identify what we can do. At end of day, balance budget and build a key structure for village. Deni reminds him that

3 7

our Task force is not for balancing the budget. We need to push to have a wonderful example of sustainability. d. Alisha asks, shall we do some research? send ideas? 1. provide a list and goals for what we’d like to see. 2. 100% native plants and source locally. 3. Vertical garden. 4. Solar panels and use for back metering. Need to see what we can do with power we collect… Deni reminds us that FPL does not allow us to sell back to the grid. We need guidance on how to use solar. 4. Scarlett has a list of vendors for solar. 5. Solar, not on roof please, because we want a green roof. Other options are out there for solar. Harold will look at this and hurricane codes. e. The support team here in NBV is there for the builder. We also have UM and FIU and access to teams there that work with us. 1. Grants definitely can to be accessed for some of this work. 2. Dream big and we will try to get the grants to make this happen. 3. (Scarlett) Department of energy may have some grants available. f. (Deni ) City hall to be built on busiest part of NBV, Harbor Island. We will have Freebie available for people to come to city hall or meetings, but this is a congested corner. Ralph mentioned to Harold we are looking at roundabout, Deni is discouraging this idea. Area is set by FDOT, and light that is there. Neil clarifies, a traffic study will be done, engineering will figure this out. (Harold) Have to look at needs of fire department. 6. New business: Neil- Evaluation Committee - consists of New Krasner, Marlon Lobban and Steve Williamson (city manager of Key Biscayne). After a large packet to review, there are now a short list of 3 vendors and Ralph will review and take to commission. This is for the hiring of a firm to handle the Stormwater master plan and implement construction. This committee has completed their task. 7. New Business cont.: Baynanza Clean up on April 15th, on Pelican Harbor. Island cleanup. 8. Alisha will have to chair next meeting set for April 25, 2023. Our Chair, Denise will not be in attendance. 9. Welcome to our new City Liaison, Genesis Guevara. Look forward to working with you. 11. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by: Neil Krasner and seconded by Alisha Graham. Meeting adjourned at: 8:18pm Prepared by Secretary: Julia Stutts This 11th day of April, 2023.

SOP Technologies | soptechint.com | info@soptechint.com | 305-792-8778 Nutrient Pollution While the sources of nutrients to urban stormwater are many, a primary contributor is often decaying organic materials like leaves. […] The leaves continue to decay, releasing excess phosphorus and nitrogen into local streams and lakes. […] Loads of total and dissolved phosphorus were reduced by 84 and 83% (p < 0.05), and total and dissolved nitrogen by 74 and 71% (p < 0.05) with an active leaf removal program. 1This graph shows a significant reduction in total phosphorus in a residential neighborhood in Madison, Wis., after the implementation of a timely leaf collection and street cleaning program (Selbig, 2016).

SOP Technologies | soptechint.com | info@soptechint.com | 305-792-8778 “Decomposition of leaf litter has been reported to be one of the main contributors to [Dissolved Organic N] DON in urban runoff suggesting that in order to reduce DON input in stormwater runoff, a control measure (e.g., street cleaning) prior to storm events could be used to eliminate the potential of PON decomposition to DON.” 2 “Today, a major concern is that leaf litter (i.e., organic debris) spikes stormwater systems and watersheds with nutrients during and after rainfall, especially when it gathers along street curbs. Excess phosphorus and nitrogen often lead to major water quality problems for municipalities, a process called eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms (HABs).” 3 2.
