Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
Mr. Gordian addressed the subject of open positions on the Board. Ms. Hernandez
stated there are three open positions: one regular Board position and two alternates.
6. Public Input:
Missy Weiss, Sebastian, FL. She stated she is the owner and educator for SEA A
Difference Environmental Services based out of Indian River County. She is a resident
of Sebastian. In December 2017 their organization conducted a 12-day litter removal
challenge, which encouraged residents to visit 12 different beaches in Sebastian and
Vero Beach to collect litter. For the 12-day period, they collected almost 100 straws, 32
shoes, 85 pieces of plastic cutlery, 399 plastic bottle caps, 2,700 pieces of Styrofoam,
68 pounds of plastic and much more. What was most noticeable was the amount of
plastic collected. She stated that plastics do not degrade. They are broken down into
micro plastics over time and enter our waterways and into the bodies of animals. One
of the locations that was most worrisome with the amount of litter collected was along
the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian just adjacent to Mulligan's Restaurant. The debris
collected included plastic straws, plastic cutlery, plastic bottle caps, and a 5-gallon
bucket full of plastic bags in an area less than 200 square feet in 45 minutes and just
two volunteers. She then put photographs on the screen showing all the debris that
was collected over 12 days.
SEA A Difference would like to initiate the recruitment of local students and concerned
citizens to form a Sebastian Sustainability Taskforce. The taskforce would help local
businesses and restaurants transition to a more eco-friendly approach and develop a
plan to integrate sustainable and environmentally friendly processes into their
businesses. These processes could include replacing plastic cutlery with reusable
silverware or biodegradable options, composting, basic recycling, going straw free or
offering straws instead of providing them, limiting waste by purchasing conscientiously
and with environmental ethics. Satellite Beach is currently moving in this direction and
is hosting a summit tomorrow night. Sebastian would be the first in Indian River County.
She believes that, in order for this effort to be successful in Sebastian, it will take the
support of the Natural Resources Board and the City of Sebastian. Ms. Glaser
requested information on the summit. Ms. Weiss stated she would email Ms. Glaser
with the information.
Mr. Gordian stated that the City has supported the Lagoon Preserve group to do island
cleanup three to four times a year.

Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
Mr. O'Neill inquired whether the SEA A Difference organization is set up to do this type
of thing. Ms. Weiss answered yes. SEA stands for Stewardship, Education and Action,
so it's an environmental organization. It is a new business that is looking to become a
non-profit. Mr. O'Neill stated the lack of recycling that is being done was talked about at
the Board's last meeting.
Ms. Mosblech stated she understood that if the city is less than 100,000 people, the city
can enact a local city ban on plastic bags. She has looked into the subject since the
last Board meeting, and there are communities that are moving toward a kind of rating
system where they encourage businesses to opt into this program and there would be a
certification, and they could reach different levels depending on what processes they do
such as eliminating straws, etc. She stated this may be something that can be
collaborated along with private citizens to create a taskforce where we can make
Sebastian sustainable.
Ms. Hernandez suggested getting board members that are necessary to complete the
Board. Then, if it's something that the Board would be interested in, with enough
collaboration it is something that is ultimately going to benefit the City and the County.
Mr. O'Neill inquired if the Board decides to pursue a plastic straw ban, is this something
that the Board presents to City Council as a recommendation. Ms. Hernandez stated
yes, it would be something that would need approval by City Council.
Mr. Gordian suggested that going forward some of Ms. Weiss's images could be
downloaded to the Board's website. Mr. O'Neill suggested that dates for cleanups be
posted, and Ms. Glaser stated that the Board already has Ms. Weiss's email on the
Earth Day vendor list.
Mr. Graham Cox, 1213 George Street, Sebastian FL. He attended a meeting of the
Indian River Neighborhood Association Lagoon Committee, and a large part of the
afternoon was spent in discussing the subject of plastic. On Thursday and Friday of this
week there is a meeting at Harbor Branch about the research that people are doing at
the Lagoon.
One item he wants to discuss is regarding a conference that Audubon had on native
plants and transforming landscapes with a sustainable future. Laura Moss of Vero
Beach has come to the Pelican Island Audubon Society and stated that they are willing
Natural Resources Board Page 4
Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
to discuss updating their ordinances dealing with landscaping, and he doesn't want
Sebastian to get left behind in this endeavor, to convert turf into landscapes that are
made up of native plant species. They have also heard from a law school that has
looked at landscaping codes and come up with a model ordinance. Mr. Cox would like
their group to be able to work with Vero Beach and Sebastian to look at the
development landscape ordinances to find out how lawns can be replaced with
something that is sustainable and provide a more natural landscape that doesn't require
the amount of water, doesn't generate the amount of phosphorous and nitrogen, etc.
He would like to bring these ideas to Council in due course.
He then raised the issue of spraying herbicides along the canals. His group has studied
this subject, and there are at least 60 approved methods in the State for controlling
invasive plants along our waterways. The one used in Sebastian is monthly spraying of
a mixture of chemicals. He would like to have this matter considered for investigating
the cost/benefit analysis of the alternatives. His group has made up signs that say "Do
Not Spray," and they have gone door-to-door in some areas of the canal system. They
are asking people to post the signs in their backyards along the canal to tell Applied
Aquatics who do the spraying not to spray, and they will follow the instructions on the
signs. Mr. Gordian asked if this subject had been presented to City Council. Mr. Cox
said not yet, but that they plan to present it in the future.
Mr. O'Neill inquired about the Roundup that is used ---how much is dispersed. Mr. Cox
stated they don't know the exact amount that is dispersed, but it is dispersed once a
month, and he has been told that it is a minimal amount. Ms. Mosblech asked if City
Council has ever made a counterproposal. Mr. Cox stated that Applied Aquatics has a
contract with the Water Management Districts, and the City has a piggyback contract for
the spraying. He has not been able to find out who has the authority to enforce the
terms of the contract. Mr. Gordian stated he understood that Applied Aquatics was
going to look at herbicides that are environmentally more friendly. Mr. Cox stated that
Applied Aquatics has switched to a product that is not as lethal, but it still has chemicals
in it. Ms. Mosblech inquired whether they are trying to kill invasives that are growing
over the wall or aquatic invasives. Mr. Cox stated it is aquatic invasives.
7. New Business:
Item A: Pelican Wildlife Festival
Natural Resources Board Page 5
Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
Ms. Glaser stated she has one topic that she asked to be put under New Business, and
it is not on this Agenda. She stated it is the Pelican Wildlife Festival coming up in
March. She inquired whether the Board wants to have a booth there again. The
contact person is Eileen Fretz, who is in charge of the volunteers. They need
volunteers at the festival, they need vendors, they need wildlife. They are starting all
over. Mr. O'Neill inquired whether there are links on our website as to this type of
activity, and Mr. Gordian stated no. Mr. O'Neill asked if the Board could post a link on
their own website to the Wildlife Festival page. Ms. Hernandez stated she feels it is up
to the Board, but it would be the Natural Resources Board requesting volunteers for the
Pelican Wildlife Festival. Mr. Gordian asked for volunteers to contact Ms. Fretz. Ms.
Glaser said she would follow through on it. Ms. Glaser also said if the Board wants to
have a booth at the Wildlife Festival, she will go to the website and do the registration.
Mr. Gordian asked for a vote on whether the Board wants to participate in the Pelican
Island Festival. The vote was unanimous in favor of participating.
Item B: Selection of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson
Mr. Gordian inquired whether a full board is needed for the vote. Ms. Hernandez stated
that, since there is a quorum present, they will be able to vote. Ms. Glaser was
nominated by Mr. Gordian as Chairperson. Ms. Glaser declined. Motion was made by
Ms. Glaser to nominate Ms. Mosblech as Chairperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, and
passed unanimously by voice vote. Motion was made by Ms. Glaser to nominate Mr.
Gordian as Vice Chairperson, seconded by Mr. O'Neill, and passed unanimously by
voice vote.
8. Old Business:
Item A: Earth Day/Arbor Day Celebration 2018
Ms. Glaser stated Earth Day is less than three months away, and they have 27 vendors
signed up so far and just a couple food vendors. All the bands are in place. What she
needs help with is the advertising and activities. She asked for suggestions. Mr. O'Neill
inquired about the Board's Facebook page, and Ms. Glaser stated she has the
registration form on there. Mr. Gordian suggested putting flyers out, and he will handle
that aspect. Ms. Glaser stated they are going to do the rock painting again, and she
needs a vote on purchasing rocks and supplies. She estimates a $55.00 expense for
Natural Resources Board Page 6
Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
rocks and rock -painting supplies. Ms. Mosblech asked for a vote to approve the
expenditure of $55.00. The vote passed unanimously by voice vote. Ms. Glaser also
suggested a scavenger hunt this year. They will also have the chalk art and the gopher
tortoise tunnel. Ms. Glaser asked for any additional ideas from the Board before the
next meeting. Ms. Mosblech asked if there is a way we can discourage the use of
single -use plastics with the vendors. Mr. O'Neill suggested the Board might provide the
vendors with enough biodegradable or compostable flatware, etc. Ms. Glaser
suggested encouraging people to bring their own bottles, etc. Mr. O'Neill suggested the
Board might present the attendees with kits of biodegradable utensils, and that would
provide a good example, depending on the budget.
Item B: Role of Natural Resources Board
I. Oyster Bag Project at Working Waterfront
Kimberly Jones made a Power Point presentation regarding the oyster promulgation
project. For this project there is a cost -share grant. Per the Indian River Lagoon
Council there is a project planned and timeline already established. The project site has
been assessed and surveyed. The project plan has been approved by the Lagoon
Council. All permitting through the St. John's River Authority and Army Corps is
complete. They have permission to cure the shells at a site on the Airport Property.
In order to comply with the May 315t completion date, they need to collect 16,000 shells
by the end of next week, as they have to cure a minimum of three months before
installation. They need volunteers and materials to sew 80 biodegradable oyster bags.
Unfortunately, their site is no longer suitable as the site is dominated by a sandbar now,
and its proximity to the shoreline protection project is going to cause further installation
delays. Failure to meet that project deadline will result in the loss of the $25,000.00
cost -share grant money. The City of Sebastian has already paid the cost of permitting
and engineering service, and noncompliance could hurt the chances of being awarded
similar grants in the future. The City will still have the cost -share amount that is set
aside for a similar project, but it will be difficult to find a feasible project in that price
range.
One alternative proposal that has been researched and supported by the staff is to alter
a project to incorporate Taylor floats. She described the Taylor floats in detail and their
costs. She also described the pros and cons of these floats. A Fish and Wildlife
Natural Resources Board Page 7
Meeting Minutes of February 6, 2018
Commission special activities license is required, which costs $25.00 and is good for a
year. She described other projects using Taylor floats that are successful. Should they
decide to utilize the Taylor floats, they would have to apply for modifications to the
permitting and grant agreements. They need to decide on the most suitable area and
purchase native live juvenile oysters from a local aqua culturist, purchase floats and tie
them to the pier at Fisherman's Landing with pulleys, and they will incorporate
educational signage and prepare a schedule for monthly data collections. So they need
to decide which avenue they want to pursue.
Mr. O'Neill inquired about the FIT program where they hung the bags off the pier. Ms.
Jones stated they could do the bags, but there is a problem with wave action, as that is
a busy dock. Ms. Glaser asked about pulling the floats out of the water every two
weeks and cleaning them. Ms. Jones stated it would be a great educational opportunity
for volunteers. Mr. Gordian asked how long modification would take in order to get re -
permitted. Ms. Jones indicated that she has already inquired to see if it is possible and
has consulted with the Brevard Zoo and gotten advice from them. If they decide to go
with the floats, they are not concerned with the three-month threshold for curing shells.
Mr. O'Neill asked if this would be her recommendation to the Board. Ms. Jones stated
yes. Ms. Mosblech asked how many Taylor floats would be involved. Ms. Jones said
that is something that has yet to be determined. Mr. O'Neill stated he agrees with going
with Ms. Jones' recommendation on the Taylor floats. Ms. Jones stated this project has
to be started by May, as that is the season the oysters are spawning.
A motion to proceed with the Taylor floats was made by Ms. Mosblech, seconded by Mr.
O'Neill, and passed unanimously by voice vote.
II. Guest Speaker Schedule
Ms. Hernandez inquired if the Board has invited any guest speakers. Mr. O'Neill
mentioned someone from Indian River Recycling. Ms. Mosblech will contact that
person and have her contact Ms. Jones for the March meeting.
Ms. Mosblech stated she has been in touch with a representative of the Surf Rider
organization. They have something set up that is called Ocean Friendly Restaurants,
and that it might be something that could serve as a model for Sebastian. Ms.
Mosblech will see if that organization might be able to send a representative in April.

9. Member Matters:
Page 8
Ms. Glaser stated she went to the seminar that Mr. Cox went to, "Transferring
Landscapes for a Sustainable Future," and what a great seminar it was. She gave
some examples of what was presented at the seminar.
Ms. Mosblech asked Mr. Cox about the native landscaping and can the Board meet with
counterparts from Vero Beach about this. Mr. Cox said the Pelican Island Audubon
Society has a model ordinance that was devised by a law school, and what they would
like to do is go through existing landscaping rules and compare them with the model
ordinance and see if language from the model ordinance can be incorporated into the
Vero Beach ordinances. They would like to do the same with Sebastian, and maybe his
group could work with one person on the Natural Resources Board on this. Ms.
Hernandez stated that staff would add that item to the agenda for the next meeting. Mr.
Cox stated that the ordinance can be written in such a way as to encourage Florida
native species and discourage so much turf.
10. Items for Next Agenda:
A. Discussion of proposed Native Landscaping Ordinance.
B. Earth Day updates.
11. Adiourn:
There being no further business, Ms. Mosblech adjourned the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

What is at
Stake?
Failure to meet the project deadline-Aw-ir,7
will result in a loss of the $25,000
cost share grant money Y 14
The City of Sebastian has already
paid the costs of permitting and
engineering services
Potentially hurt our chances of being
awarded similar grants in the future
The City will still have its cost share
amount set aside for similar project,
'- t will be difficult to find a
ble project in that price range

Living Docks Program at FIT:
• Participants hang mesh bags filled with used oyster
shells from the sides of a dock or seawall and
'submerged into the water.
A single dock with 37 pilings —with an average of 32
oysters per piling -can filter about 21 million gallons
of water per year.
