Council, but it is being run by the Environmental Learning Center. It is a great new
program that meets quarterly. Ms. Haigler just found out about it, and an invitation by

A. Earth Day & Arbor Day Celebration planning for April 24, 2021
i. Item -by -item discussion
ii. Board Member Updates and Assignments
Ms. Haigler referred to the 2021 Sebastian NRB Earth Day Celebration Plans. These
were discussed item by item as follows:
Retail and Food Vendors (Ron Paul, Dr. Mosblech) -- Ms. Haigler stated online
applications are available, which works out very well. The vendors can fill them out online,
and as soon as they submit them, emails are sent to Ms. Haigler and Mr. Paul. A table
has been implemented for each type of vendor, and it is a great format. She thanked the
MIS Department for setting this up. So far there are 18 retail vendors and 8 food vendors
signed up. She expects to have many more.
Environmental Orqanizations (Ms. Haigler) -- She stated she spoke to Sebastian Inlet
State Park today. She called them in person. They said that all the state agencies are
under an order from the state to not participate in any outreach activities or events until
further notice. The person to whom Ms. Haigler spoke said that could be lifted next week
or six months from now; they have no idea. That, unfortunately, involves a lot of people
who participate in this event such as state parks, FWS, FWC, and St. John's. There are
a lot of participants who bring the animals and are not state related. So far there is MRC
NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD PAGE 3
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 2, 2021
and Indian River Solid Waste. All the county groups can participate, so she anticipates
more participation from them. More non -governmental agencies or groups are needed.
She will reach out to all the county groups, but she asked the members to think of other
groups who might participate and send her their contacts, and she will send an email form
to them. Ms. Ware suggested contacting the Zoo. Ms. Haigler stated she will do that.
Waste Manaqement (Ms. Haigler) -- Ms. Haigler displayed an example of their new
flyers. She stated the shredding will be at Riverview Parking, and household waste will
be collected at Barber Street Park
Art Club (Ms. Ware) -- The annual Lagoon Art Show and Sale will be held, and we will
be hosting the art poster contest. Ms. Haigler put the poster art contest winner
announcement on the stage schedule for 2:00 p.m.
K.I.R.B. (Ms. Haigler) -- Ms. Haigler stated she and Ms. Morris will be meeting tomorrow
afternoon. Ms. Morris is also going to have an activity. That is still being discussed. Ms.
Haigler has been collecting buckets to use that can be saved and used again. Those
buckets can be emptied into one large garbage bag instead of several bags which are
most of the time not completely filled. She stated that K.I.R.B. may be partnering with
Mash Monkeys in a fundraiser for the beer that Mash Monkeys is going to donate.
I. R. C. Fire Rescue Permit (Ms. Haigler) -- She will handle that.
State Food Vendor Permit (Ms. Haigler) -- She will handle that. She will set up a
spreadsheet so as each application comes in it gets logged, and all the information that
is needed for both those permits is entered there. All we have to do is print that out and
attach it to the permit.
Entertainment (Brian O'Neill) -- The entertainment is all set. She will have the checks
available at the event to pay them.
NRB Website (Ms. Haigler) -- Ms. Haigler stated she keeps updating it, and she will
eventually add a list of vendors and a list of the activities.
Raffle (Mr. Stadelman ?) -- There are 10 vendor applicants so far who said they are
going to donate raffle prizes. Most of the vendors participate in that. She needs someone
to volunteer for the raffle. At the beginning of the event they need to come early and
collect those items for the raffle and register them. There will be a spreadsheet listing the
winners, who donated the prize, and what the prize was. So we need someone to keep
track of what is on the table and enter the data on the spreadsheet. Dr. Mosblech
volunteered for this job.
M.O.C. (Mr. Stadelman) -- Ms. Haigler said Mr. Stadelman is the Master of Ceremonies.
NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD PAGE 4
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 2, 2021
Be a Gopher Tortoise -- Ms. Haigler looked through her notes, and she did not see
where anyone had volunteered to take over that event. She added that whoever
volunteers needs to come to City Hall the week before to collect the pieces that are
needed. Dr. Carrier said he will do that and take the pieces to the park and will be in
charge of that event. Ms. Haigler stated there will be plenty of help from others to set it
up.
Scavenger Hunt -- (Ms. Haigler and Ms. Callaghan) -- Ms. Haigler stated Ms. Callaghan
has sent her some revised scavenger hunt questions that involve some great locations
around the park. That is for the traditional scavenger hunt. They also discussed doing a
virtual scavenger hunt that would involve the Munzee app. Ms. Haigler called the Space
Coast Geo Store and discussed with them about what we are looking at. They suggested
an app called Eventzee. She then showed a short YouTube video that describes what
the app can do (SEE ATTACHED). She stated that the CEO of the company contacted
her to arrange a Zoom meeting. Ms. Haigler and Mr. Loring sat in on a presentation of
the app. One of the positive aspects is that it can be opened up for 30 days. That makes
it very COVID friendly. It is something to encourage the public. If they can't make the
event, they can still learn about some of these things. Ms. Haigler stated she was
impressed. Mr. Loring added that it is a one -stop shop and covers a lot of bases. It is
really interactive, and he thinks it would be a great asset to the festivities. Ms. Haigler
said the price is $300.00, and that includes the company setting everything up for us. Ms.
Haigler added that staff can place QR codes all around the City, and they can stay there
permanently, which means that people can use the regular Munzee app to find all the
items connected to the QR codes. She stated the Space Coast Geo Store will print out
the QR codes on a waterproof, UV -resistant sticker that will be good permanently. She
suggested the Board consider if this is something that they would like to do. She stated
it will be important to advertise this on Facebook, etc. and to give teasers to promote
interest. She suggested this idea makes the event more COVID friendly to have
something that people can interact with beyond the day of the event, and she explained
the Eventzee app in depth.
There was discussion among the Board members regarding the scavenger hunt. Ms.
Callaghan suggested that, instead of having one big prize for the winner of the hunt,
several smaller prizes be given out. Ms. Haigler agreed. She has signed and provided
a letter on City letterhead to Ms. Ware soliciting prizes for the Earth Day event. She made
copies for everyone in case anyone on the Board knows of someone they would like to
solicit for a prize. She said she would contact the Brevard Zoo to see if they will donate
tickets. She also suggested some other groups that might be willing to donate tickets,
etc.
Mr. Stadelman suggested that the Board decide if they want to get the Munzee app, and
then it can be decided if there will be virtual prizes provided. After lengthy discussion, Mr.
Stadelman called for a motion to approve a one-time expenditure of $300.00 for the
NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD PAGE 5
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 2, 2021
Eventzee app for the Earth Day event. A motion to approve the $300.00 expenditure for
the Eventzee app was made by Ms. Callaghan, seconded by Mr. Stadelman, and was
approved via voice vote of five in favor and two opposed.
Roll Call
Mr. Carrano -- No
Mr. Stadelman -- Yes
Ms. Ware -- Yes
Dr. Carrier -- No
Vote was 5 to two in favor. Motion passes.
Ms. Callaghan -- Yes
Ms. Lovell -- Yes
Dr. Mosblech -- Yes
Chalk Art Contest (IRCSWI -- Cancelled due to a scheduling conflict.
Other Activities -- Ms. Haigler reviewed that in the past staff purchased the items and
ran the activities with volunteers. She suggested that the vendors host an interactivity for
families and children. She has already received three vendors who want to participate.
She anticipates there will be more. Ms. Ware volunteered to help if Ms. Haigler needs
help following up with the vendors.
Livinq Docks (Mr. Bradley and Dr. Carrier) -- Ms. Haigler stated that Mr. Bradley asked
for a flyer discussing the event, which she did provide, and Mr. Bradley posted it on the
Boy Scout site for this region. Ms. Haigler also talked to the Charter Middle School, and
IRC Coastal Engineering. She explained how the event is set up.
Volunteers (Ms. Callaghan, Mr. Bradley) -- Ms. Haigler stated she has contacts for the
Sebastian Charter Middle School. Mr. Bradley has contacted the Boy Scout groups in
the area. Ms. Haigler said there will be a sign-up sheet at the NRB booth, and she will
gladly submit individual volunteer hours to their respective organizations.
NRB Booth (All) -- Ms. Haigler said everything has been ordered/bought. From the
discussion at the last meeting, it was decided the main messages would be Sustainable
Sebastian, Reducing Single -Use Plastics/Litter Quitter, and Plant More Natives. She
also described what the banners would say. Ms. Haigler said there are brochures that
need to be folded. These brochures are informational on matters related to the City, such
as the code relating to removal of trees, fertilizer restrictions, etc. She said she would
prefer to do the seed packets soon to get them out of the way. She will email the Board
members to see who is available on which dates. Ms. Haigler also said a room in the Art
Center would be a good place for this project. There is plenty of space for social
distancing.
NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD PAGE 6
MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING MARCH 2, 2021
Advertisinq (Ms. Ware, Ms. Haigler) -- Ms. Ware described how she usually distributes
the flyers to the businesses in the area. Ms. Haigler stated she put a disclaimer on the
flyer that she sent to the school board that says they approve of this event.
IX. Member Matters
Ms. Callaghan complimented Mr. Stadelman for his work on getting the word out on
Sustainable Sebastian.
Mr. Stadelman asked if there could be added to the NRB website a live surf report. A live
surf report would invite people to visit the website on a daily basis, as well as a live fishing
report. Ms. Haigler said neither of those is in line with the NRB's goals or mission
statement. Mr. Stadelman said the reason he suggested this is that the Sustainable
Sebastian Initiative encourages environmental -friendly tourism, and he thinks surfing and
fishing fall into that category.
X. Staff Matters
Ms. Haigler congratulated Dr. Carrier on the publication of another of his articles in the
"Florida Sportsman" magazine on the bird rookeries along the Indian River Lagoon. She
scanned the article, and she will send the Board members a copy in PDF form.
Ms. Haigler thanked everyone on the Board for working on their tasks for Earth Day. It
has been fantastic to see how everyone has been following through. She said the next
meeting is on April 6th, so that is only 2-1/2 weeks before the event. She will be emailing
everyone before that meeting to confirm all the details.

There being no further business, Mr. Stadelman called for a motion to adjourn. A motion
to adjourn the meeting was made by Mr. Carrano, seconded by Ms. Ware, and approved
