PUBLIC INPUT - None 8. OLD BUSINESS o Oyster Mats Project update Ms. Graves said she contacted the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for information on grants. Mr. Brady spoke to Florida Tech professors; he would be interested in the placing of the mats. He noted high /low tide and water salinity are important to the placement. Mr. Gordian said he would speak to Indian River School District Superintendent, Dr. Adams, to see if the High School Green Club could participate in assembling and storing the mats. Ms. Lucier reported she has volunteer assemblers. Chairman Northcott said he was researching other methods to produce the mats. He was told that bags with coconut fiber are more appropriate for shoreline restoration. He said the process would have to be determined to apply for the grant(s). The Environmental Specialist said they did miss this grant cycle but it is on her calendar for next year. She offered to find out the grant benefactor for the board. Chairman Northcott said the Army Corp of Engineers, DEP, and SJRWMD permits would be needed. He said Grant Shaw from DEP is coming Friday at 10 a.m. to locate possible placement areas. He invited other members to join them. Chairman Northcott also said a pilot project might be approved with 10 or 12 mats to see which location takes. Mr. Progulske offered to contact the Army Corp of Engineer to get the pilot permit. Ms. Harris said her friends made 200 mats a couple of weeks ago at the Vero Power Squadron and she had a drill press to make the shell holes. Chairman Northcott said he calculated 2000 mats would take six seconds a shell to drill during four working weeks. Mr. Clifton said he is standing by to go to work. 9. NEW BUSINESS o Island Cleanup Ms. Graves reported the clean -up was busy, their island did not have too much debris, and she logged in 350 lbs. of trash. Mr. Gordian said he placed the sign on their island. Chairman Northcott reported there is trash in a derelict boat and wooden container on island four. Ms. Harris reported that kayakers gathered that trash and it was carried to shore by Sea Tow. Natural Resources Board Meeting August 5, 2014 Page Three It was the consensus of the Board to have the next island clean up on October 4"' The Environmental Specialist said there will be money for the Board in the next fiscal year. 10. MEMBER MATTERS o Additions to Board Website Ms. Graves reported that she understood new information would be posted within 48 hours and Mr. Northcott sent an e-mail that hasn't been posted. Chairman Northcott said that information to be posted should be vetted through the Environmental Specialist and then posted, The Environmental Specialist added that information to be posted should be voted on and agreed to by the Board as a whole at each month's meeting. Ms. Graves said pictures of their previous events haven't been posted. The Environmental Specialist said pictures should be seen and agreed to before posting. A member may not want a particular picture posted. By a unanimous voice vote, the Board agreed to post pictures of their previous events A consensus was reached to post Chairman Northcott's fertilizer statement previously sent. (See attached) Mr. Northcott requested that the oyster mat presentation be added to their website under videos. Updating the website will be a standing agenda item. 11. STAFF MATTERS o PowerPoint Presentation Updates by Frank Watanabe, Community Development Director /Engineer /Airport Manager Overflow Parking at Riverview Park The City Engineer, using the overhead projector, displayed the conceptual layout of the overflow parking at Riverview Park. He explained commercial parking is short on the riverfront and the developer wants to participate in the "parking in lieu of program," in addition to constructing the spaces. He said that having developers pay into the program allows them to share the parking including the ADA spaces. With regard to the overflow parking location questions, he said, the location is between two buildings and would not be considered part of the park. It would be maintained by the City. Quiet Zone Crossings The City Engineer said, at the request of Council, he had been asked to share the quiet zone information to all of the City's Boards. (See attached PowerPoint). He explained that a quiet zone (which must be initiated by the agency) is when the train operator does not have to toot his horn; has a' /s mile between the tracks and includes four gates per crossing with an 18 inch high median. In addition a risk factor study had to be completed. He went on to say that because all of the crossings are so close together within the City, if designated, they would all have to be quiet zones. Natural Resources Board Meeting August 5, 2014 Page Four Field Diagnostic Review He said the diagnostic review determined that a second set of tracks would be added to the west side of Barber Street and Schumann Street; and the Main Street crossing would be moved two feet over. The City will have the opportunity to review the conceptual plan and the environmental impact statement. MEMBER MATTERS CONTINUED Stormwater In response to Mr. Gordian, the Environmental Specialist said the Public Works Department maintains the conveyance of Stormwater, The City Engineer explained that this year the City has experienced a higher rate of rainfall and there are above average complaints. The rule of thumb for stormwater drainage is 72 hours." If water hasn't moved after that time frame, homeowners should contact Linda Kinchen in the Public Works Department. The City Engineer went on to say, the quarter rounds run into lateral ditches, then the canal system and then into a basin for treatment. The lateral ditches are addressed (cleaned, mowed) once a year by the City but it is a slow process because of staff shortages and the sediments must be hauled away. Ms. Graves said weedwacking seems to be working better than heavy equipment on the lateral ditches in her neighborhood. 12.
