population in :1018 2020 is 22,999 22,698. By :20:29 2025 the utility projects the population to increase to 25,800 24,293 and to 29,609 25,887 by 2030. It should be noted that the MDWASD NMB Utility's Water's population projections differ from the projections from b9th AAi^m* ^RI'^ ''^� ^*�� ^�' of the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBRJ. This is due to a difference in methodology used to determine the population projections, with the Utility faet Rg the density p .-;hl^ Since this Water Plan Update utilizes the water supply calculations made in accordance with the Ut NMB Water's population projections, the Water Plan Update utilizes the NMB Water projections. However, since the City is built out and the only new population will result from infill and redevelopment efforts, the City does not believe the higher NMB Water projections will be attained. Despite this difference in population projections, the report finds that there will be sufficient water supply to meet the current and future needs of its residents. As shown in Figure 3, the water distribution service area for the City is managed and operated by the City of North Miami Beach and includes portions of the Cities of Aventura, Miami Gardens, and unincorporated Miami -Dade County as well as the Cities of North Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, and Town of Golden Beach. The Sunny Isles Beach City Charter provides for a City Commission that is vested with all legislative powers of the City. The Mayor and four commissioners are elected at -large to serve four-year terms. Each year the members of the Commission elect one of the Commissioners to serve as Vice -Mayor for a period of one year. Each of the four commissioners is elected to represent four designated residential areas. 2.2 Relevant Regional Issues Regional issues that affect the City of Sunny Isles Beach include minimizing pressure on the Everglades and Biscayne Bay ecosystems and, Biscayne and Florida Aquifers. To that end, the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) is providing the foundation for one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in the world. The SFWMD and the US Army Corps of Engineers have partnered in order to restore, protect and preserve the water resources of central and southern Florida, including the Everglades. Various projects under CERP help ensure the proper quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of waters to the Everglades and all of South Florida. The goal of CERP is to capture fresh water that now flows unused to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico redirect it to areas that need it most. The SFWMD's priorities have focused on creating Water reservation rules to facilitate construction of CERP prosect components. The City is in support of CERP and other restoration proiects listed in the 2018 Lower East Coast (LEC) Water Supply Plan Update that further the Northern/Southern Everglades 20 -year commitment to Everglades restoration, including the C- 111 South Dade, C-111 Spreader, Biscayne Bay Coastal Wetland BBCW L-31 East Floway, BBCW Deering Estate and BBCW Cutler Wetlands proiects. 8
