RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation of approval and to transmit the proposed update of the 10 -Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and related proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments to the Department of Economic Opportunity. REASONS: The City of Sunny Isles Beach is subject to the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) in regard to State requirements for local water supply planning. The SFWMD has concluded that traditional water supply sources will not be sufficient to meet the water needs of the growing South Florida population. As a result, the Florida Legislature enacted seven (7) bills in Sessions between 2002 and 2016 in order to address the State's water supply needs, as potential limitations on the continued use of traditional water supplies became increasingly apparent. Chapter 163, F.S. requires all local municipalities to update their Water Supply Facilities Work Plan and adopt that plan into the comprehensive plan within 18 months of the SFWMD's approval of the Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan. The work plan and the comprehensive plan amendments must address the development of traditional and alternative water supplies and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new development for at least a 10 -year planning period. The Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan was approved on November 8, 2018. Therefore, the deadline for local governments within the Lower East Coast jurisdiction to amend their comprehensive plans to adopt a Work Plan Update was May 2020. This deadline could not be achieved because North Miami Beach Utility and the City of North Miami Beach as a whole did not adopt their water supply plan until December 15, 2020 and, the City relies upon North Miami Beach data that is used in the City of Sunny Isles Beach report. For informational purposes, the per capita consumption is 121 gallons per person per day due to conservation and the City being proactive in monitoring its water distribution system for leaks.
