Propsed Green Building Code Draft Revisions were discussed. ii. Mayor Streitfeld mentioned that recent State legislation reduces the ability for municipalities to impose any additional new burdensome requirements on landowners. Existing municipal restrictions, such as our current approved Green Building Code, will apparently be exempt from the new State legislation. iii. As a result, it was decided that the current approved Green Building Code is good enough, and at some point it may be good to make some minor changes to it, but nothing that would create any additional new burdensome requirements on land owners. 4. New Business 3

a. Update on Stormwater Master Plan. i. Roger Hogg, CIP Manager did not have a formal presentation, but gave an overview of the status of the Stormwater project on each Island. ii. Board member N. Krasner asked Roger about the inlet filter project status, who responded that Phase 1 was completed and Phase 2 is underway. iii. Mr. Hogg mentioned that Emilio is making modifications to the filters to accommodate the new boom-equipped vehicle ordered for the Public Works Department, which will help with easier removal and emptying of filters. iv. Board member Krasner emphasized the need for detailed service cost numbers to present to the budget committee, as the Village has difficulty keeping up with the daily work needed to keep the system clean. v. Mr. Hogg agreed to follow up with Emilio on this, and Village Manager Rollanson confirmed that the analysis (of materials taken from the filters) for Phase 2 will continue as required, though some Phase 1 results may need to be rerun due to sampling issues. vi. Regarding the status of the Stormwater Master Plan and engineering services. Village Manager Rollanson explained that Black and Veatch had been dismissed and they were now seeking an in-house engineer with a sustainability background to better control and monitor projects, and that the Village is advertising for a Chief Sustainability Officer position and have an interview scheduled for Monday. vii. Citizen attendee Jack Ratner raised concerns about the lack of updates on the North Bay Island Stormwater Master Plan on the city's website, particularly regarding Phase 1 of the pump station project, which Roger confirmed was located in the southeast quadrant of the island. b. Staff / Commission Liaison Updates i. Village Manager Rollanson discussed his weekly report on ongoing projects and suggested making it available online for public transparency. The Mayor and Roger agreed this was a good idea, with Roger Hogg mentioning plans for a comprehensive public portal to track all village projects. ii. Jack Ratner raised concerns about recycling services in North Bay Village, noting that single-family homes only receive bi-weekly pickups, which leads to rapid filling of bins and increased garbage. iii. Jack Ratner raised concerns about the quality of information about the Stormwater Master Plan on the North Bay Village website. The Mayor agreed that this information should be updated on the NBV website. iv. Roger Hogg replied that his department is looking into doing some major improvements to providing website based updates to all the Capital 4

Improvement Projects, and has an item submitted for approval in the budget to handle this information. 6. Public Comments: None in addition to those by Jack Ratner above. 7.
