Sustainability Committee Motion
Dear Mayor and Honorable City Commiss ion ,
The Sustainability Committee met on October 28 , 2021 and pa ssed the motion below:
'
Th e Sustainability Committee recommends that the $25 ,000 allocated for th e enhancement and
conservation of Flagler Monument Island be allocated to projects that will stop motorize d vessels from
beaching on the island while enhancing the island's ecological features . Projects in order of priority and as
budget allows , should include:
• Swim-only buffer zones marked by swimming buoys
• Mooring buoys that would allow a limited number of motorized vehicles for short time
mooring, while reducing impacts to seagrass
• Enhance ha bitat for native flora and fauna including osprey nesting
Additionally, w e recommend the City of Miami Beach work with Miami-Dade County Department of
Environmental Resources Management to leverage additional funding from the Biscayne Bay Trust Fund
and to reduce the cost and complex ity of permitting and approvals where needed.
Sincerely,
IJJDo c uS igned by:
