Resident urges more transparency on stormwater projects and raises recycling concerns
Summary
Resident Jack Ratner asked why the stormwater master plan page has not been updated since 2022 and urged weekly project updates; he also raised recycling pickup frequency and overflowing bins as an environmental concern.
During public comment, Jack Ratner (speaker 11) asked why the stormwater master plan page on the village website had not been updated in three years and urged the commission to publish progress updates.
"Why isn't this information been updated in 3 years as it is critical and important here at the North Bay Village, why isn't this transparent and up on our website on the stormwater master plan section?" Jack asked. Frank (speaker 8) said he circulates weekly project reports to elected officials and will coordinate with communications to publish CIP updates for the public; Roger (speaker 10) said the department is evaluating a public portal included in the budget package that would provide near‑real‑time project status.
Jack also raised recycling pickup frequency for single‑family homes and said bins often fill within days; commissioners acknowledged the concern and agreed to add waste and recycling operations to a future agenda.
