MINUTES OF JULY 5, 2022
Ms. Haigler reviewed that this is an event that the NRB hosts every year, as we have the
location for it. She emphasized that everyone needs to sign up online and register online.
The team's name is "NRB Board." The location is the Main Street boat ramp. There are
other locations if anyone at home is interested in joining. The website is
www.tcwaterwavcleanup.com. It is not necessary to have a boat, but anyone with a
boat can register it and will be given a flag for their boat. Everyone who registers gets a
tee shirt. As was done last year, she will have a tablet on hand so that people can be
registered as they pull up to launch their boats for a day on the water. Also this year there
are mesh bags available to give everyone with a boat. It is a mesh bag which they can
keep so they can use it every time they go out on the water. The event will be from 8:00
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 23rd, and you do not need to be present the entire
time. The garbage will be weighed before it is put into the dumpster. Last year there was
a tremendous amount of garbage. If anyone needs more copies of the flyers, Ms. Haigler
will get them to you.
Mr. Stadelman added that there are many sponsors of this event, and people can clean
up throughout the week from Saturday, July 16th through Sunday, July 241h. He added
that if you want to join the Natural Resources Board team, their location is the Main Street
boat ramp.
B. City Awarded IRLC Grant for Tulip Pond LID Project
Ms. Haigler said she did post a notice that Sebastian has been awarded that grant. This
is a restoration project at the Tulip Pond that includes installing a fountain, which is per
the IPM plan. A fountain reduces invasive plants, algae, and the muck by oxygenating
the soil to break down the muck. Vegetation will be added along the shoreline as well as
trees. The NRB is working with the City Engineer on this. Felicia Gordian is a recent
graduate of UCF in Environmental Science. She is interning right now and will be helping
to lead on this project and some other projects. Right now the green infrastructure plan
is being worked on, and she has been an immense help with that. At the next meeting
Felicia will be doing a presentation on the grant with more details. Ms. Haigler added that
the grant project will serve as a demonstration project for developers and also for the
stormwater fee credit program where commercial property owners can get credit for
maintaining so many of these projects. A large element of this project is also education.
There will be a website established where literature will be available regarding a grand
opening, which is a volunteer -driven event, and planting events in the future.
Ms. Callaghan asked if this counts towards adding trees for Sebastian's Tree City
designation as well connecting it back to the Audubon Society's program. Ms. Haigler
said yes. Regarding a date for implementation of the project, she said the power lines
Page 3 of 17
NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD PAGE 3
MINUTES OF JULY 5, 2022
have to be installed before any other work can be done, and FP&L is working presently
on work such as the LIDs that were put into installing power to that area. She added that
everything is beginning to come together as per the comp plan: all of the
recommendations from the IPM plan, and all the green infrastructure that was discussed
at the workshop as well as the stormwater fee credits, and the stormwater master plan is
being worked on presently. All these elements are coming together for sustainability.
VI. Public Input -- None
DII�►[�1:31f�liL��
A. Litter Quitter Program Re -Launch
1. Program re -cap
2. Outline tasks required to move forward
Ms. Haigler presented some slides (SEE ATTACHED) from the Litter Quitter Program, as
it has been a while, and she wants to refresh the information so that everyone
understands the program, and we can begin to think about where we want to re -launch
now. She reviewed the slides, which were created by Keep Brevard Beautiful. The
Brevard Zoo was a partner in that also. It is aimed at reducing single -use plastics and
other debris by approaching local businesses, educating them, and giving them the
resources they need. It is a certification program with levels involved which she
described. She listed the companies that market the sustainable products used by
businesses such as restaurants, etc. Also reviewed were samples of the products
themselves. She has also obtained samples of the sustainability products that can be
used. An updated price list will also be obtained. There is a link to that site. There was
general discussion among the Board members and Ms. Haigler regarding having
information and products ready to go when everything has come together.
Ms. Haigler then called for input regarding having another training session, and she
suggested it be held immediately prior to the NRB regular meeting. Everyone agreed.

MINUTES OF JULY 5, 2022
Ms. Callaghan called attention to the bicycle lane at the southwest corner of Sebastian
Boulevard and US 1. There is construction going on there, so the sidewalk is closed. As
one is cycling eastbound on Sebastian Boulevard there is a nice bike lane. The sidewalk
is gone because of the construction. The bike lane ends, and then a bike lane is present
as the cycler is crossing over the railroad tracks. Drivers are flying by, and there is now
a designated bike lane between the right turn lane and the center lane. Somehow, the
cycler is supposed to safely continue across that ridge while traffic is coming over the
ridge, not seeing the cycler in the bike lane. She is hoping that, as the construction is
finished, there will be a better transition for bikers who are on the shoulder of the road
and now suddenly they switch over a whole lane. Ms. Haigler stated that the railroad
raised that area a lot, and that made a significant impact on that location. Ms. Haigler
said she will bring that issue to the City Engineer's attention. She also emphasized that
the walking audits are very important. There are lots of issues that are not realized while
driving around the area.
Ms. Callaghan also suggested that at the next meeting the Board looks at where the NRB
is in the Sustainable Sebastian plan and knows what the next likely project might be. Ms.
Haigler stated there is information online now on Sustainable Sebastian, and this was just
updated.
Ms. Haigler added that she and Ms. Lovell are working on the folders to hand to the
businesses when a member of the NRB visits those businesses.
Mr. Stadelman reminded everyone that the Board must stay on the agenda. Ms. Haigler
stated that there are some revisions being proposed to all the board agendas, and a
charter officer will attend a meeting, do a presentation, and call for a discussion regarding
this matter.
X. Staff Matters
XI. Items for Next Agenda
Ms. Haigler stated there will be discussion of the Tulip Pond grant, there will be a Litter
Quitter update, and a review of the Sustainable Sebastian priorities.

TULIP POND HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT
Scope of Work
June zozz
I. NAME OF PROJECT
Tulip Pond Habit Restoration Project
11. INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND
Sebastian's Tulip Stormwater Pond is an over half acre pond, surrounded primarily by maintained sodded
groundcover. Located in the center of a large area of single family residential housing, the pond serves as a
critical link within the stormwater system. Its two inlets and one outlet connect Tulip Pond to local
stormwater conveyance systems and provide vital storage during major storm events. The proposed Tulip
Pond Habitat Restoration Project will include key Green Infrastructure Best Management practices (BMPs)
such as the planting of native littoral and shoreline vegetation, the addition of upland shrubs and trees, the
installation of an aerating fountain, as well as incorporating educational signage.
III. VALUE PROPOSITION
We are completing the Tulip Pond project for habitat restoration, water quality improvements, and
education/outreach. Littoral, shoreline, and upland vegetation provide a myriad of ecosystem services,
including: aiding in the filtration of sediments from entering the pond, providing valuable nutrient uptake/
storage, and serving as crucial habitat for aquatic and terrestrial species. Installing a fountain in the pond will
provide constant aeration of the water column and sediments, which is critical to the pond's ability to adsorb
and break down nutrients. As nutrients and organic material is more easily broken down, muck is reduced,
which in turn, effectively increases the pond's stormwater storage capacity. The proposed habitat
enhancements will improve the overall quality of the stormwater, which ultimately outfalls into the St.
Sebastian River, before entering the Indian River Lagoon Ecosystem.
The outreach component will include educational signage on site, printed outreach materials, project
website, social media posts, and local media press releases. The goal of outreach is to educate the residents
on the importance of adding native trees and vegetation, while reducing the area of sodded lawn. With
1,000 people moving to Florida each day, it has become increasingly crucial for residents to understand that
the future health of the Lagoon begins in their own backyards. In addition, the project site will serve as a
Green Infrastructure BMP demonstration site for developers, HOAs, and commercial property owners
seeking stormwater fee credit.
IV. LOCATION OF PROJECT (Narrative and Project Location Map)
The Tulip Pond Habitat Restoration Project will take place at the 1.15 acre City of Sebastian property where
the Tulip Pond is located. The public park is located on the South side of Tulip Drive between Fairfield Ln and
Howe Ln. Please see the attached maps on the next two pages for more information regarding the location
within the City of Sebastian.
