Barbara Nestle Letter Page 16 Barbara Nestle Highland Beach, FL February 12, 2023 To: Lanelda Gaskins, Town Clerk Douglas Hillman, Mayor Natasha Moore, Vice Mayor Town of Highland Beach, FL, 33487 Re: Leaf blowers Dear Mrs Gaskins: I am aware that leaf blowers are currently being discussed in the Commission but have only been put as a “planned” item (7) on your strategic priority list. Please put this letter on the agenda for the Commission meeting on February 21, 2023. I would appreciate to see more urgency in an ordinance heavily regulating leaf blowers. Many landscapers and private individuals in Highland Beach use polluting and noisy gas- powered leaf blowers which have been banned in many villages and towns of our caliber. These leaf blowers generate toxic, carcinogenic air pollution and noise that far exceeds health and safety standards. Using gas powered leaf blowers are very bad for our health, fragile dunes/barrier island environment, and limit the benefits of living in our five miles of paradise. People come to Highland Beach to enjoy our beautiful nature and beaches and not to be drowned in noise and toxic fumes. There is a lot of science behind this, lowlights include: Toxic pollution – Using a gas-powered leaf blower for 30 minutes produces pollutants equal to those generated by driving a Ford F-150 truck 3,900 miles, or as far as from Texas to Alaska. Harmful health impacts - Ozone and PM2.5s are well known causes of, or contributors to, early death, cardiovascular disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, premature births, and other serious health conditions. Even short-term exposure can be harmful. Damaging noise - Noise from leaf blowers ranges from 102−115 decibels (“dBs”) Source: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e80a57414fb52bddd431f1/t/5866b8252994ca4cb330a4de/1483126855570/margin-corrected-Leaf-Blower-Fact-Sheet-%2812_12_2016%29+%281%29.pdf Page 17 For these reasons, Miami Beach is phasing out gas powered leaf blowers, Naples, Palm Beach, and other towns have implemented leaf blower regulations/bans. Our paradise of Highland Beach cannot afford to wait longer. We should as soon as possible discuss a regulation stipulating that no leaf blower may be operated except one (1) 65 dB(A) electric or battery powered leaf blower per lot during the permitted hours (TBD), with further specifications about allowed types and some exemptions for larger lots. After a storm or emergency, the mayor could temporarily suspend the law. Violations should end in suspensions for 60 days or longer and shall be subject to penalty. I appreciate your attention and look forward to hearing an update during the Commission meeting. Best regards, Barbara Nestle Page 18 File Attachments for Item: C.

Design #1 Date:Saturday, January 14, 2023 4:35:03 PM 1/14/23 To whom it may concern, The below design can be stretched horizontally (or vertically) and the “WELCOME TO HIGHLAND BEACH “ wordage can be moved further away from the silhouettes depending upon the final dimensions. I believe the size of our present signs are appropriate but that they are displayed too low and that the new signs should be raised one-two feet higher. I believe the sign can be made of weatherproof composites for $6,000.00-$15,000.00. You can also reverse colors and make the background black and the silhouette and lettering done in glow in the dark white paint.

The dimensions should be similar to the present signs but displayed 2-3 feet higher. The signs can be made of composite weatherproof materials for reasonable costs.

Highland Beach stands for beautiful nature, stunning endless private beaches and a critical reef/rocks protecting us from erosion. The town sign should reflect our nature values and be a modest representation of our paradise. This is why our family came up with the idea of including driftwood as a symbol of all the beautiful tropical wood that gets washed ashore here. We also like to emphasize the beauty and importance of our Yamato rock, and the reefs that protect us. Hence we could see a design similar to the below picture of Riverstone, vertical driftwood on a rock with metal or wooden letters for the city name in a wavy design. We envision the design to be a lot less modern than the sample, much more in flow with nature and made of durable drift wood based on the kind of rocks that we have here on our shore. We do not have a design drawing, but driftwood, the rocks and some waves in the letters for the town name is what we would suggest. If you like the idea, we can try to draw and visualize it :) Best wishes, Barbara Nestle and family 4605 S Ocean Blv Page 40 Sent from my iPhone Page 41 From:Ben and Mayra Stern To:Town Sign Subject:Highland Beach Town Sign Date:Thursday, January 19, 2023 1:15:52 PM Hello, I have attached my rough draft idea for the new Highland Beach Entrance Signs. Since I am not an artist, I pasted pictures of the items that I want to see on the design. The sea life and shells, which are all indigenous to our beach, should be raised out from the main panel to give a 3-D effect (sizes and colors can be adjusted). The background of the sign should either look like sand or could even be real sand from our beach which would be glued and sealed on. The 2 side poles should look like the wood poles that pelicans are usually seen sitting on near docks, and the pelicans should be crafted to look as real as possible. Please contact me should you have any questions. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing my enchanting and uplifting design on South Ocean Boulevard as I enter our beautiful beach town!

He graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor’s in Architec- ture and currently works as a Research Associate in the Circular Construction Lab at Cornell University, where his primary area of research focuses on utilizing emerging digital tools to assess material content, embodied carbon and circularity within the built environment, ranging from the scale of construction assemblies to that of entire cities. Text Description: “Between Waters“ is a sign for the town of Highland Beach. The graphic design references the town’s elevated position above two bodies of water. This unique topography is depicted by the raised trapezoid geometry which the name of the town rests on, as well by the adjoin- ing illustrations of the intercoastal and the Atlantic Ocean -- the two bodies of water that shape and bring people to our “Three Miles of Paradise.“ The palette is representative of colors that can be found when viewing the ocean, intercoastal and sunrises from Highland Beach, and also matches the aesthetics of the town seal. The proposed material of the sign is teak wood, CNC routed with raised lettering and with painted color blocks.

Page 117 File Attachments for Item: B. Consideration to approve and authorize the Mayor to execute a five-year agreement with Flock Group, Inc. for the license Plate Recognition Cameras. Page 118 TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH AGENDA MEMORANDUM MEETING TYPE: Commission Meeting MEETING DATE February 21, 2023 SUBMITTED BY: Chief Craig Hartmann SUBJECT: License Plate Recognition Cameras SUMMARY: The current License Plate Recognition camera system for the Town, which is several years old, is now failing and is in immediate need of replacement. The police department has researched a new LPR system and ha s identified Flock Group Inc. to replace the existing system. The Flock data system is currently utilized by the department for the in-car LPR camera system and a signed agreement is in place for data sharing through the LPR data base of over 2,000 law enforcement agencies throughout the country that utilize the Flock LPR system. Flock is deployed in several municipalities in the area and currently provides LPR camera systems for the Delray Beach Police Department, which are monitored for alerts through their dispatch center. This is important because Delray Beach Police provides 24/7 communications/dispatch services for the town, and this gives our police department around the clock monitoring that can immediately receive alerts from the national database for felony vehicles. Because Flock integrates with our AXON in-car camera systems and, is monitored 24/7 by our communications/dispatch center, it is determined that Flock LPR systems is established as a Town standard for expanding the LPR cameras and replacing the current fixed LPR cameras. The Town has determined that this particular product is the only type that meets the characteristic requirements for performance, consistency, and compatibility of the LPR cameras and as such, makes direct acquisition via Section V. Sub-Section D. of the Town Purchasing Policy. Along with replacing the four fixed LPR cameras at the AIA entrances, four additional LPR cameras will be installed at the entrance to the Town side streets at Highland Beach Dr., Bel Lido Dr., Bel Air Dr., and Russell Dr. Providing LPR coverage to secondary streets will enhance the level of safety and security by detouring and/or solving crime.
