Susan Simpson said for residents with their City I.D. cards, access for walking the Pier is free, and the fee to fish on the Pier is$2.00. For non-residents the fee to walk out on the Pier is$2.00 per person, and $5.00 per person to fish. Dr. Comfeld donated money to this project and therefore we allow guests at the Newport to get in free with their room key. Chair Camaraza said the reason we asked for this report was about the fees, to not charge anyone to go on the Pier. Ari Steiger noted that the fees are minimal and they help cover maintenance of the Pier. After discussion it was decided to defer this for now. Shari Blank moved and Maynard Mast seconded a motion to defer discussion on not charging fees to the Pier. The motion was approved by a voice vote of 5-0-2 [Loretta de Vries and Natalie Minervina absent] in favor. 4. A Status Report on the Photograph/Plaque to be Placed at the Sunny Isles Beach Fishing Pier. Action: City Liaison Claudia Hasbun reported noting they received three (3) quotes for the plaque itself. She passed around the quotes which proposals included type of printing for actual finish,the installation,etc. She showed the photograph"Fishing at Sunny Isles Pier"circa 1965, that was approved at the last Board meeting. The Board liked the proposal from AST Exhibits which is a simple elegant plaque. Graphics production, pedestals and mounts graphics is 1/8" high pressure laminate print in an exterior matte finish with a ten (10) year warranty. The pedestals and mounts are double cantilevered pedestal mounts, and are aluminum construction with a durable powder coat finish. The graphic is mounted at a 45-degree angle from the vertical support post and is 36" wide x 24" tall. Chair Camaraza asked the Board if we want to be involved in the location where it will be installed. City Liaison Hasbun said she thinks it needs to go before the Commission if there are any zoning issues. After discussion the Board supported it as presented,and recommended the City should spend funds on this plaque. Deputy City Attorney Amuchastegui said he will prepare a Resolution for the July 16 Commission meeting for the installation on placement of the plaque at the Pier as recommended by the Board to the City Commission. [Note: Item removed from 7/16/15 agenda for further review.] Maynard Mast moved and Shari Blank seconded a motion to recommend to the City Commission to spend funds for the plaque and to bring it back to the Board for their input on the location of the plaque. The motion was approved by a voice vote of 5-0-2 [Loretta de Vries and Natalie Minervina absent] in favor. 5. A Discussion on Newly Adopted Ordinance No. 2015-445 Amending Chapter 171 (Historic Landmarks) of the Code to Provide a Definition of"Objects". Action: Consultant Ellen J. Uguccioni reported that the new Ordinance provides a definition of"objects". The term "object" is used to distinguish from buildings and structures those constructions that are primarily artistic in nature or are relatively small in scale and simply constructed. Although it may be, by nature or design,movable, an object is associated with a specific setting or environment. It also replaces "archaeological site" with "historic landmark or historic landmark district". She noted that the language is taken from the Federal Government. It is the desire of the Board to make sure the camels are not destroyed, and so now we have this mechanism. Summary Minutes: 2015-0624 HPB Mtg Page 2 of 4
