WHEREAS, environmental and health concerns have been raised relative to the use of the insecticide Naled to combat Zika-carrying mosquitoes (Aedes aegyti) in the City of Miami Beach, and in other locales, where the Zika virus is present; and WHEREAS, Miami-Dade County engaged in the aerial spraying of Naled in a limited 1.5 square mile area of the City on September 9, 2016 and September 11, 2016, and additional aerial sprayings are scheduled for September 18, 2016 and September 24, 2016 at 6:00 a.m.; and WHEREAS, the County has also sprayed the environmentally friendly larvicide Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis isrealensis) in the City through the use of ground-based spraying efforts in the affected City neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach deem it in the best interest of the City, its residents, and the public health, safety, and welfare, for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Agricultural Environmental Services, and for the County to explore all non-toxic and safe alternatives to Naled to control Zika-carrying mosquitoes in the City; and WHEREAS, bats can consume up to 1000 mosquitoes per hour and cities around the country, such as North Hempstead, New York, have installed bat houses to promote an environmentally friendly solution to mosquito control and the County should explore this option for use in the City; and WHEREAS, in addition, the State should expand and open its request for proposal process so that alternatives to Naled may be used to combat Zika-carrying mosquitoes; and WHEREAS, the County is further urged to take proactive measures in the other areas of the City that are outside of the current treatment zone, by using the environmentally friendly Bti spray, both through ground-based and aerial spraying, to control mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus and, further, the County should allocate additional financial resources for this purpose; and WHEREAS, the County tracks the presence of Zika-carrying mosquitoes in the City's target zone and there may not be a need for the future spraying of Naled if such mosquito populations have been significantly reduced or eliminated; therefore, the County is urged to review and evaluate all available data prior to any future use of Naled in the City to determine whether the spraying of Naled is necessary; and WHEREAS, other alternatives to Naled include the use of Bti through aerial spraying, the use of the genetically modified mosquitoes whose progeny do not mature into adult mosquitoes, and the use of the Wolbachia bacteria to immunize mosquitoes from the Zika virus, among other options, and the State and the County are urged to engage independent members of the scientific community, as well as City stakeholders, to explore all options and alternatives to Naled; and WHEREAS, the use of genetically modified mosquitoes to reduce Zika-carrying mosquitoes has been used in Brazil, Grand Cayman Island, Panama, Columbia, and Malaysia and has resulted in reported reduction rates of 90% or higher, which is more effective than the traditional methods of spraying Naled and Bti; and WHEREAS, on August 5, 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration published a final environmental assessment and a finding of no significant impact relative to the use of genetically engineered mosquitoes to control the Zika-carrying mosquitoes in a proposed field trial in Monroe County to be conducted in conjunction with the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby urge the State of Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and Miami-Dade County to aggressively pursue and explore all non-toxic and safe alternatives to Naled to control mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus in the City of Miami Beach, and to engage independent members of the scientific community, as well as City stakeholders, to explore all non-toxic and safe options and alternatives to the use of Naled; urge Miami-Dade County to explore the use of bat houses as an environmentally friendly mosquito control option; urge the State to open its request for proposal process to allow for the procurement of alternatives to Naled; and, urge the County to allocate additional financial resources for the aerial spraying of the environmentally friendly larvicide Bti throughout the City and to review all available data to evaluate whether the spraying of Naled is necessary prior to any and all future spraying of Naled in the City.
