Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Planning and Zoning Administrator Claudia Hasbun reported that this is the update Water Supply Plan done by our Consultants. She noted that Alex David of Bell David Planning Group will be presenting. Alex David reported that every City in Florida is required to do a Water Supply Plan. The City did the first one about five (5) to six (6) years ago and so we are required by State Statute to do an update. Basically what that entailed was working with the South Florida Water Management District, Miami-Dade County WASAD, North Miami Beach, which is where we purchase our water from, and of course reviewing the Comprehensive Plan and previous documents. Again, this is a State-mandated process and we do have to transmit these documents but they are required to respond in 30 days. Basically it is just an update looking at North Miami Beach,what Capital Improvements they are doing,what the County is doing with the water supply. We did also put in some policies about sea level rise,climate change, and he is very glad that Commissioner Goldman and Commissioner Levin brought this up because the worry is not just sea level rises but what it is doing to our water supply. Our rock where our water comes from, is like Swiss cheese, and so any increase in the level of the sea affects our drinking water and that is very much a concern of every agency. Public Speakers: Alex David Commissioner Aelion moved and Vice Mayor Gatto seconded a motion to approve the Ordinance on first reading by a roll call vote of 5-0 in favor. Ordinance No. 2016-475 was adopted on first reading and will be transmitted to DEO for review, and will then be scheduled for a second reading. 10
