Sustainability Committee Motions
Dear Honorable Mayor and City Commission,
The Sustainability Committee met on February 23, 2023 and passed the motions below:
• The Sustainability Committee recommends that the City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commission
opt for a commercial exclusive structure with a price cap for waste hauler operations for multi-
family residences of 9 or more units and commercial properties, in order to increase the
sustainability and efficiency of waste hauler operations, including:
• reduction of total trucks and truck hours driven on the roads thereby reducing
traffic congestion, tailpipe emissions and noise from trucks, and
■more consistent bins and messaging for waste and recycling to improve proper
separation of the waste stream.
• The Sustainability Committee recommends that the City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commission
prioritize the selection of a waste hauler vendor that facilitates the City's sustainability goals,
including:
■strategy to improve recycling and divert waste sent to landfill,
■uniformity of waste and recycling messaging, and
■the electrification of truck fleet.
• The Sustainability Committee recommends that the City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commission
support Miami-Dade County's continued planning for the Baylink project and encourage further
studies that include mitigating the impacts on the Biscayne Bay marine ecosystem, especially
corals, and the feasibility of constructing the Baylink in between the MacArthur Causeway
Eastbound and Westbound lanes.
Sincerely,
