North Bay Village

Meeting

March 17, 2026

What happened

Statura summary

The biggest move on the table was the ordinance package around signs and the waterfront. North Bay Village is rewriting Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 to consolidate sign rules and bring them into current legal compliance, which is the kind of cleanup that usually tightens what businesses can display and where, even when it is sold as housekeeping. Right behind it, the Village is moving to create overnight anchoring restrictions in Chapter 150, a direct regulatory squeeze on vessels and houseboats that shifts the burden onto anyone using the water as overnight storage or shelter. The other substantive actions are more project specific but still consequential. The Village is amending its deal with Project Football LLC for the community center, sports courts, and related facilities, which signals the project is still being managed through contract changes rather than a clean finish. It also authorized Amendment No. 1 to Ribbeck Engineering for modified design, permitting, and bidding on Phase 1 of the Harbor Island stormwater improvements, a tell that the drainage work is still being reshaped before dirt moves. The rest of the agenda was mostly reports, recognitions, and discussion items, including sanitation billing, construction fence design, property tax policy, a parking lease, noise enforcement, and ULDC tweaks for public buildings and construction staging, all of which set up the next round instead of closing anything out.

Statura-generated summary of the official agenda and minutes. Verbatim per-item votes and dollar figures are in the Agenda & votes tab.

Key decisions

  1. Amending Chapter 11, Signs, and Chapter 15, Form Based Code
    Pending

    Updates the sign code to meet current legal requirements and consolidates all sign provisions, which likely tightens and centralizes what can be installed and advertised in the Village.

  2. Creating Overnight Anchoring Restrictions
    Pending

    Adds Section 150.22 to regulate certain overnight anchoring of vessels, shifting the compliance burden onto boaters and houseboats using Village waters overnight.

  3. First Amendment to the Development and Construction Management Agreement with Project Football LLC
    Pending

    Amends the agreement for the community center, sports courts, and related facilities, showing the project is still being managed through contract revisions rather than a final handoff.

  4. Amendment No. 1 to Work Order RIB2401 to Ribbeck Engineering, Inc.
    Pending

    Authorizes modified design, permitting, and bidding services for Phase 1 of the Harbor Island stormwater improvements project, which pushes the drainage work further into the planning and procurement stage.

  5. Village Clerk Report for February 2026
    Pending

    Provides the clerk's monthly report and public records log, which is informational and does not change policy or spending.

  6. Discussion and Direction on the Village's Solid Waste Services Sanitation Accounts for Multifamily and Commercial
    Pending

    Reviews sanitation billing for multifamily and commercial accounts, a direct cost issue for property owners and tenants if the billing structure changes.

  7. Discussion on the State's Proposed Elimination or Reduction of Property Taxes
    Pending

    Signals the Village is reacting to a state tax policy proposal that would affect local revenue and the future budget picture.

  8. Discussion on the Parking Lease Agreement for Treasure Island Care Center
    Pending

    Examines a parking lease tied to the care center, which is a site access and land use issue rather than a general policy item.

  9. Discussion and Direction on Enforcement of Illegal Vehicle Noise and Potential Future Use of Noise Cameras on the Causeway
    Pending

    Explores stronger noise enforcement and possible camera use on the Causeway, which would increase compliance pressure on drivers and enforcement staff.
