(Village Seal) MAYOR ATTEST: VILLAGE CLERK EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE (Fair Market Value Purchase Option) Golf_SchFMV_Muni ver 01.22.25 Page 1 of 2 The “Lease”: Equipment Schedule Number 20000035248 Dated July 14, 2025 to Master Lease Number 843032L Dated June 4, 2021 “Lessee” The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida, 951 US Highway 1, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, FL, 33408-3813 Contact: Phone: “Lessor” The Huntington National Bank, 11100 Wayzata Blvd Ste 700, Minnetonka, Hennepin, MN, 55305-5517 This Equipment Schedule (this “Schedule”) is entered into pursuant to and incorporates the terms of the Master Lease (except as expressly modified by this Schedule) identified above between Lessor and Lessee (the “Master Lease” and, together with this Schedule, this “Lease”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule have the meanings assigned in the Master Lease. Upon execution and delivery of this Schedule by Lessor and Lessee, and Lessee’s acceptance of the Equipment described below, Lessor leases to Lessee and Lessee leases from Lessor the Equipment on the terms and conditions of this Lease. SUMMARY OF TERM AND RENTAL PAYMENTS: Commencement Date ______________ Initial Term 36 Months Rent Payment Period MONTHLY Each Rent Payment $15,040.00 plus applicable taxes1 Advance Rent Payment(s) $0.00 For Installment(s): $0.00 Interim Rent Daily Factor N/A Security Deposit N/A 1 The Rent Payment does not include “up-front” sales or use taxes that may be imposed and due at the inception of the Lease. See Section 6 below. EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL PROPERTY, SERVICES AND/OR SOFTWARE (The “Equipment”): Description (including features) Location See Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. See Exhibit A Each Rent Payment shall be payable in arrears commencing on the date that is one Rent Payment Period after the Commencement Date and on the same day of each subsequent Rent Payment Period for the Initial Term and any renewal term. The following additional provisions apply to the Equipment and this Lease only: 1.So long as this Lease has not been canceled or terminated early and no Event of Default exists, upon expiration of the Initial Term (“Lease End”), Lessee may purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment for the Fair Market Value of the Equipment, plus all sales and use taxes arising on the sale of the Equipment. For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment at any time means the estimated amount that a willing buyer and a willing seller would pay for the Equipment on an installed basis, as mutually determined by Lessor and Lessee. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually determine the Fair Market Value, at Lessee's request and expense, Lessor shall select and hire a third-party certified appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value, and such appraiser's determination shall be binding on the Lessor and Lessee. To exercise the foregoing purchase option, Lessee must give written notice thereof to Lessor at least 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to Lease End. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or if the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Value of the Equipment by 45 days before Lease End, then the purchase option shall lapse. If the purchase option lapses, then at least 30 days before Lease End or the end of any renewal term, Lessee must give Lessor notice of its intent to return the Equipment and request return location instructions. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or gives notice but fails to return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, this Lease will automatically renew, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one-month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 2.If Lessee gives timely notice of election to purchase the Equipment as provided in paragraph 1 and fails to timely pay the purchase price, then Lessor may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Lessee (a) treat the Equipment as purchased and enforce payment of the purchase price, (b) declare a failure to meet the purchase conditions whereupon Lessee’s interest in the Lease and Equipment shall automatically be canceled and Lessee shall return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, or (c) treat the Lease as automatically renewed, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one- month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 3.Upon Lessee’s exercise of the purchase option and Lessor’s receipt of the purchase price plus applicable sales and use tax and any rent or other amount owing under this Lease, the Equipment will be deemed transferred to Lessee at its then location and, on Lessee’s request at such time, Lessor will deliver to Lessee a bill of sale for the Equipment, “WHERE IS, AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO TITLE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. 4.If Lessor suffers a Tax Loss because, for federal or state income tax purposes, for any reason, this Lease is not a true lease or Lessor otherwise is not entitled to depreciate the Equipment in the manner Lessor anticipated when entering into this Lease, then Lessee shall pay Lessor, as additional rent hereunder, a lump-sum amount which, after payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes on the receipt of such amount, and using the same assumptions as to tax benefits and other matters Lessor used in originally evaluating and pricing this Lease, will in Lessor’s reasonable opinion maintain Lessor's net after-tax rate of return with respect to this Lease at the same level it would have been had such Tax Loss not occurred. Lessor will notify Lessee of any claim that may give rise to indemnity hereunder and will make a reasonable effort to contest any such claim at the administrative level of the applicable taxing authority. Lessor shall control all aspects of any settlement and contest, and Lessee agrees to pay the legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses thereof even if Lessor's defense is successful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be obligated to indemnify Lessor for any Tax Loss caused solely by (a)a casualty Loss to the Equipment if Lessee pays the amount required under Section 8 of the Master Lease, (b) Lessor's sale of the Equipment other than on account of an Event of Default, (c) failure of Lessor to have sufficient income to utilize its anticipated tax benefits or to timely claim such tax benefits, and (d) tax law changes, including rates, effective after the Lease begins. Lessee's indemnity obligations hereunder shall survive cancelation and termination of this Lease. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Tax Loss”, means Lessor's loss of, or loss of the right to claim, or recapture of, all or any part of the federal or state income tax benefits Lessor anticipated as a result of entering into this Lease and owning the Equipment; and the term "Lessor" shall include any member of an affiliated group of which Lessor is (or may become) a member if consolidated tax returns are filed for such affiliated group for federal income tax purposes. 5.This Schedule may, in Lessor’s sole discretion, be delivered and/or reproduced by facsimile, optical scanning or other electronic means (“e-copy”) and such e-copy or a printed version thereof shall be enforceable as an original and admissible as such in any court or other proceeding, provided that there shall be only one original of this Schedule and it shall bear the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor and be marked “Original.” Each party’s electronic signature on this Schedule shall be unconditionally valid and legally enforceable, and each party agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any electronic signature (or the authority of the electronic signer to sign). To the extent that this Schedule constitutes chattel paper (as that term is defined by the Uniform Commercial Code), a security or ownership interest intended to be created through the transfer and possession of this Schedule can be done only by the transfer of the “Original” bearing the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor; provided that, if the “Paper Out” process shall have occurred, or if there shall simultaneously exist both the “Paper Out” printed version and an electronic version of this lease, then the “Paper Out” printed version of such document bearing the legend “Original” applied by Lessor shall constitute the sole chattel paper original and authoritative version. 6.Lessee acknowledges that the Rent Payment does not include any “up-front” sales or use taxes (due at Lease inception) that Lessee elects to finance in conjunction with other financing under this Lease (“Financed Taxes”). If applicable, Lessor will adjust the Rent Payment amount to include the Financed Taxes (inclusive of any applicable fees), and such adjustment will be calculated by amortizing the Financed Taxes over the term of the Lease using the same yield used for calculation of Rent Payments (or as reasonably determined by Lessor).

Based upon the examinatio n of these and such other documents as I deem relevant, it is my opinion that: 1.

The full, true and correct legal name of Lessee is ___________________________________________________. 2.

The Lease and the other documents described above have been duly authorized, approved, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Lessee, and the Lease is a valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by State and Federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights. 5. The authorization, approval and execution of the Lease and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all open meeting laws, public bidding laws and all other applicab le State and Federal laws. 6. The execution of the Lease and the appropriation of moneys to pay the payments coming due under the Lease do not result in the violation of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation relating to the manner, form or amount of indebtedness which m ay be incurred by Lessee. 7. There is no litigation, action, suit, or proceeding pending or before any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body, that challenges the organization or existence of Lessee; the authority of the organization or existence of Lessee; the authority of its officers; the proper authorization, approval and execution of the Lease and the other documents described above; the appropriation of monies to make Rental Payments under the Lease for the current fiscal year, or the ability of Lessee otherwi se to perform its obligations under the Lease and the transactions contemplated thereby.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Schedule have the meanings assigned in the Master Lease.

See Section 6 below. EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL PROPERTY, SERVICES AND/OR SOFTWARE (The “Equipment”): Description (including features) Location (80) PACE 10EX GPS Units, together with all attachments and accessories thereto 951 US Highway 1, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, FL, 33408- 3813 Each Rent Payment shall be payable in arrears commencing on the date that is one Rent Payment Period after the Commencement Date and on the same day of each subsequent Rent Payment Period for the Initial Term and any renewal term. The following additional provisions apply to the Equipment and this Lease only: 1.So long as this Lease has not been canceled or terminated early and no Event of Default exists, upon expiration of the Initial Term (“Lease End”), Lessee may purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment for the Fair Market Value of the Equipment, plus all sales and use taxes arising on the sale of the Equipment. For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment at any time means the estimated amount that a willing buyer and a willing seller would pay for the Equipment on an installed basis, as mutually determined by Lessor and Lessee. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually determine the Fair Market Value, at Lessee's request and expense, Lessor shall select and hire a third-party certified appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value, and such appraiser's determination shall be binding on the Lessor and Lessee. To exercise the foregoing purchase option, Lessee must give written notice thereof to Lessor at least 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to Lease End. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or if the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Value of the Equipment by 45 days before Lease End, then the purchase option shall lapse. If the purchase option lapses, then at least 30 days before Lease End or the end of any renewal term, Lessee must give Lessor notice of its intent to return the Equipment and request return location instructions. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or gives notice but fails to return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, this Lease will automatically renew, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one-month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 2.If Lessee gives timely notice of election to purchase the Equipment as provided in paragraph 1 and fails to timely pay the purchase price, then Lessor may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Lessee (a) treat the Equipment as purchased and enforce payment of the purchase price, (b) declare a failure to meet the purchase conditions whereupon Lessee’s interest in the Lease and Equipment shall automatically be canceled and Lessee shall return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, or (c) treat the Lease as automatically renewed, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one- month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 3.Upon Lessee’s exercise of the purchase option and Lessor’s receipt of the purchase price plus applicable sales and use tax and any rent or other amount owing under this Lease, the Equipment will be deemed transferred to Lessee at its then location and, on Lessee’s request at such time, Lessor will deliver to Lessee a bill of sale for the Equipment, “WHERE IS, AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO TITLE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. 4.If Lessor suffers a Tax Loss because, for federal or state income tax purposes, for any reason, this Lease is not a true lease or Lessor otherwise is not entitled to depreciate the Equipment in the manner Lessor anticipated when entering into this Lease, then Lessee shall pay Lessor, as additional rent hereunder, a lump-sum amount which, after payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes on the receipt of such amount, and using the same assumptions as to tax benefits and other matters Lessor used in originally evaluating and pricing this Lease, will in Lessor’s reasonable opinion maintain Lessor's net after-tax rate of return with respect to this Lease at the same level it would have been had such Tax Loss not occurred. Lessor will notify Lessee of any claim that may give rise to indemnity hereunder and will make a reasonable effort to contest any such claim at the administrative level of the applicable taxing authority. Lessor shall control all aspects of any settlement and contest, and Lessee agrees to pay the legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses thereof even if Lessor's defense is successful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be obligated to indemnify Lessor for any Tax Loss caused solely by (a)a casualty Loss to the Equipment if Lessee pays the amount required under Section 8 of the Master Lease, (b) Lessor's sale of the Equipment other than on account of an Event of Default, (c) failure of Lessor to have sufficient income to utilize its anticipated tax benefits or to timely claim such tax benefits, and (d) tax law changes, including rates, effective after the Lease begins. Lessee's indemnity obligations hereunder shall survive cancelation and termination of this Lease. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Tax Loss”, means Lessor's loss of, or loss of the right to claim, or recapture of, all or any part of the federal or state income tax benefits Lessor anticipated as a result of entering into this Lease and owning the Equipment; and the term "Lessor" shall include any member of an affiliated group of which Lessor is (or may become) a member if consolidated tax returns are filed for such affiliated group for federal income tax purposes. 5.This Schedule may, in Lessor’s sole discretion, be delivered and/or reproduced by facsimile, optical scanning or other electronic means (“e-copy”) and such e-copy or a printed version thereof shall be enforceable as an original and admissible as such in any court or other proceeding, provided that there shall be only one original of this Schedule and it shall bear the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor and be marked “Original.” Each party’s electronic signature on this Schedule shall be unconditionally valid and legally enforceable, and each party agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any electronic signature (or the authority of the electronic signer to sign). To the extent that this Schedule constitutes chattel paper (as that term is defined by the Uniform Commercial Code), a security or ownership interest intended to be created through the transfer and possession of this Schedule can be done only by the transfer of the “Original” bearing the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor; provided that, if the “Paper Out” process shall have occurred, or if there shall simultaneously exist both the “Paper Out” printed version and an electronic version of this lease, then the “Paper Out” printed version of such document bearing the legend “Original” applied by Lessor shall constitute the sole chattel paper original and authoritative version. 6.Lessee acknowledges that the Rent Payment does not include any “up-front” sales or use taxes (due at Lease inception) that Lessee elects to finance in conjunction with other financing under this Lease (“Financed Taxes”). If applicable, Lessor will adjust the Rent Payment amount to include the Financed Taxes (inclusive of any applicable fees), and such adjustment will be calculated by amortizing the Financed Taxes over the term of the Lease using the same yield used for calculation of Rent Payments (or as reasonably determined by Lessor).

See Section 6 below. EQUIPMENT, PERSONAL PROPERTY, SERVICES AND/OR SOFTWARE (The “Equipment”): Description (including features) Location See Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. See Exhibit A Each Rent Payment shall be payable in arrears commencing on the date that is one Rent Payment Period after the Commencement Date and on the same day of each subsequent Rent Payment Period for the Initial Term and any renewal term. The following additional provisions apply to the Equipment and this Lease only: 1.So long as this Lease has not been canceled or terminated early and no Event of Default exists, upon expiration of the Initial Term (“Lease End”), Lessee may purchase all, but not less than all, of the Equipment for the Fair Market Value of the Equipment, plus all sales and use taxes arising on the sale of the Equipment. For purposes of this Lease, “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment at any time means the estimated amount that a willing buyer and a willing seller would pay for the Equipment on an installed basis, as mutually determined by Lessor and Lessee. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to mutually determine the Fair Market Value, at Lessee's request and expense, Lessor shall select and hire a third-party certified appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value, and such appraiser's determination shall be binding on the Lessor and Lessee. To exercise the foregoing purchase option, Lessee must give written notice thereof to Lessor at least 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to Lease End. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or if the parties cannot agree on the Fair Market Value of the Equipment by 45 days before Lease End, then the purchase option shall lapse. If the purchase option lapses, then at least 30 days before Lease End or the end of any renewal term, Lessee must give Lessor notice of its intent to return the Equipment and request return location instructions. If Lessee fails to give such notice, or gives notice but fails to return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, this Lease will automatically renew, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one-month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 2.If Lessee gives timely notice of election to purchase the Equipment as provided in paragraph 1 and fails to timely pay the purchase price, then Lessor may, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Lessee (a) treat the Equipment as purchased and enforce payment of the purchase price, (b) declare a failure to meet the purchase conditions whereupon Lessee’s interest in the Lease and Equipment shall automatically be canceled and Lessee shall return the Equipment in accordance with Section 5 of the Master Lease, or (c) treat the Lease as automatically renewed, at the same rental and other terms set forth in this Lease, for additional successive noncancelable one- month terms after the Initial Term until timely written notice of return and proper return of the Equipment is made. 3.Upon Lessee’s exercise of the purchase option and Lessor’s receipt of the purchase price plus applicable sales and use tax and any rent or other amount owing under this Lease, the Equipment will be deemed transferred to Lessee at its then location and, on Lessee’s request at such time, Lessor will deliver to Lessee a bill of sale for the Equipment, “WHERE IS, AS IS” WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO TITLE OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EQUIPMENT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. 4.If Lessor suffers a Tax Loss because, for federal or state income tax purposes, for any reason, this Lease is not a true lease or Lessor otherwise is not entitled to depreciate the Equipment in the manner Lessor anticipated when entering into this Lease, then Lessee shall pay Lessor, as additional rent hereunder, a lump-sum amount which, after payment of all federal, state, and local income taxes on the receipt of such amount, and using the same assumptions as to tax benefits and other matters Lessor used in originally evaluating and pricing this Lease, will in Lessor’s reasonable opinion maintain Lessor's net after-tax rate of return with respect to this Lease at the same level it would have been had such Tax Loss not occurred. Lessor will notify Lessee of any claim that may give rise to indemnity hereunder and will make a reasonable effort to contest any such claim at the administrative level of the applicable taxing authority. Lessor shall control all aspects of any settlement and contest, and Lessee agrees to pay the legal fees and other out-of-pocket expenses thereof even if Lessor's defense is successful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be obligated to indemnify Lessor for any Tax Loss caused solely by (a)a casualty Loss to the Equipment if Lessee pays the amount required under Section 8 of the Master Lease, (b) Lessor's sale of the Equipment other than on account of an Event of Default, (c) failure of Lessor to have sufficient income to utilize its anticipated tax benefits or to timely claim such tax benefits, and (d) tax law changes, including rates, effective after the Lease begins. Lessee's indemnity obligations hereunder shall survive cancelation and termination of this Lease. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Tax Loss”, means Lessor's loss of, or loss of the right to claim, or recapture of, all or any part of the federal or state income tax benefits Lessor anticipated as a result of entering into this Lease and owning the Equipment; and the term "Lessor" shall include any member of an affiliated group of which Lessor is (or may become) a member if consolidated tax returns are filed for such affiliated group for federal income tax purposes. 5.This Schedule may, in Lessor’s sole discretion, be delivered and/or reproduced by facsimile, optical scanning or other electronic means (“e-copy”) and such e-copy or a printed version thereof shall be enforceable as an original and admissible as such in any court or other proceeding, provided that there shall be only one original of this Schedule and it shall bear the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor and be marked “Original.” Each party’s electronic signature on this Schedule shall be unconditionally valid and legally enforceable, and each party agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any electronic signature (or the authority of the electronic signer to sign). To the extent that this Schedule constitutes chattel paper (as that term is defined by the Uniform Commercial Code), a security or ownership interest intended to be created through the transfer and possession of this Schedule can be done only by the transfer of the “Original” bearing the original ink or electronic signature of Lessor; provided that, if the “Paper Out” process shall have occurred, or if there shall simultaneously exist both the “Paper Out” printed version and an electronic version of this lease, then the “Paper Out” printed version of such document bearing the legend “Original” applied by Lessor shall constitute the sole chattel paper original and authoritative version. 6.Lessee acknowledges that the Rent Payment does not include any “up-front” sales or use taxes (due at Lease inception) that Lessee elects to finance in conjunction with other financing under this Lease (“Financed Taxes”). If applicable, Lessor will adjust the Rent Payment amount to include the Financed Taxes (inclusive of any applicable fees), and such adjustment will be calculated by amortizing the Financed Taxes over the term of the Lease using the same yield used for calculation of Rent Payments (or as reasonably determined by Lessor).

Page 1 of 1 OPINION OF COUNSEL (To be on Attorney's Letterhead) Date: July 14, 2025 Lessee: The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida 951 US Highway 1 North Palm Beach, FL 33408-3813 Lessor: The Huntington National Bank 11100 Wayzata Blvd Ste 700 Minnetonka, MN 55305-5517 Re: Contract 20000035274, dated as of July 14, 2025, by and between The Village of North Palm Beach, Florida and Lessor Ladies and Gentlemen: I have acted as counsel to Lessee with respect to the contract described above (the “Lease”) and various related matters, and in this capacity have reviewed a duplicate original or certified copy of the Lease and exhibit thereto. Based upon the examinatio n of these and such other documents as I deem relevant, it is my opinion that: 1. Lessee is a public corporation and political subdivision of the State of FL (the "State") duly organized, existing and operating under the Constitution and laws of the State. The full, true and correct legal name of Lessee is ___________________________________________________. 2. The Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State (the “UCC”), and no other statute of the State, governs the creation , perfection, priority or enforcement of a security interest created by Lessee. 3. Lessee is authorized and has power under State law to enter into the Lease, and to carry out its obligations thereunder a nd the transactions contemplated thereby. 4. The Lease and the other documents described above have been duly authorized, approved, executed and delivered by and on behalf of Lessee, and the Lease is a valid and binding contract of Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent limited by State and Federal laws affecting remedies and by bankruptcy, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights. 5. The authorization, approval and execution of the Lease and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all open meeting laws, public bidding laws and all other applicab le State and Federal laws. 6. The execution of the Lease and the appropriation of moneys to pay the payments coming due under the Lease do not result in the violation of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation relating to the manner, form or amount of indebtedness which m ay be incurred by Lessee. 7.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney DATE: July 24, 2025 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 1ST READING – Ordinance Adopting Tree Preservation Requirements and Tree Removal Permits. The Village Council requested that this office prepare a draft Tree Preservation Ordinance, including a tree removal permit process, for the Council’s consideration and input. The preliminary draft provided by Vice Mayor Interlandi has been revised and placed in Ordinance form. The proposed Ordinance amends the Village’s Zoning Code and seeks to protect identified native trees and swale trees throughout the Village as follows:  Requires a tree removal permit for protected trees. Protected trees are defined as native trees (of the type and size identified in Section 45-103) and swale trees.  Provides for exemptions to permit requirements for: (1) trees on single-family lots posing an unacceptable risk to persons or property as set forth in Section 163.045, Florida Statutes; (2) removal of trees by the Village’s Public Works Department; (3) removal of trees that have been effectively destroyed by an Act of God or external forces; (4) routine pruning and maintenance that does not result in irreversible damage; (5) removal of invasive species; (6) removal of fruit trees; and (7) removal of a dead tree.  Provides for review (and approval, approval with conditions, or denial) of tree removal permit applications by the Building and Zoning Director or designee.  Requires that all development proposals (land development applications and building permits) provide for tree preservation and the evaluation of all alternative strategies.  Provides mitigation requirements for tree removal in the form of relocation or replacement. If no viable relocation or replacement options exist, a contribution can be made to the Village’s tree trust fund.  Provides for the retention of a registered landscape architect and/or a certified arborist to assist with administration of the tree preservation requirements.  Provides for enforcement through code enforcement proceedings or any lawful means. The proposed Ordinance also provides for additional penalties such as triple the permit fee, enhanced mitigation, and the issuance of a stop work order.  Establishes a tree trust fund and restricts the use of such funds to: purchasing and planting trees on real property within the Village; funding public educational outreach programs; funding tree giveaways to residents; and supporting urban forestry programs and tree maintenance and/or preservation throughout the Village. The cost of the tree removal permit and the required payments into the tree trust fund will be established through a separate resolution or added to the Village’s adopted fee schedule for upcoming Fiscal Year. At its July 10, 2025, meeting, the Council held a workshop on the proposed Ordinance and, by consensus, directed that it proceed to first reading. The Village Council further voted to enact a Zoning in Progress until final adoption. Consequently, Building and Zoning Staff will be reviewing all building permit and development order applications and advising applicants of the preservation and mitigation requirements. Furthermore, in response to concerns raised by members of the Council, this office has revised the Ordinance as follows (additional language highlighted): 1. The term “fruit tree” was defined as “a tree that provides fruit for human consumption.” 2. A new Section 45-113, “Appeals,” was added to provide that any person who has been adversely affected by any decision rendered or requirement imposed by the Village in the enforcement and administration of this article shall utilize the administrative appeal provisions of Section 45-52.” Section 45-52 already establishes the process and procedure by which the Planning, Zoning and Adjustment Board hears appeals of administrative decisions. There is no immediate fiscal impact.

The Administration is recommending a tentative millage rate of 7.4000 mils, which is the Village’s current millage rate. Because the Village has no outstanding general obligation bond debt, the combined millage rate remains 7.4000 mils. This tentative millage rate is 5.34% above the rolled-back rate (RBR) of 7.0247 mils. The tentative millage rate that is being considered for approval at tonight’s meeting establishes the maximum millage rate the Village may consider and approve at its September public hearings (without additional notice being provided to each taxpayer). The rate may always be reduced. Additionally, adoption of the tentative millage rate of 7.4000 in September as the final ad valorem millage rate for the Village would require a two-thirds vote of the Village Council: Description Millage Rate % increase over RBR Rolled-back Rate $7.0247 mils 0.00% Majority Vote Maximum $7.3415 mils 4.51% Two-Thirds Vote Maximum $8.0757 mils 14.96% The attached Resolution has been prepared/reviewed by your Village Attorney for legal sufficiency. Recommendation: Village staff recommends Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution establishing a “tentative” operating millage rate of 7.4000 and a debt service millage rate of 0.0000 respectively (for a total millage rate of 7.4000) and setting the first Public Hearing on the tentative budget and proposed millage rate for Thursday, September 11, 2025 at 6:00 P.M.

(Village Seal) MAYOR ATTEST: VILLAGE CLERK VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO: Honorable Mayor and Council THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager FROM: Valentino Perez, Building Director DATE: July 24, 2025 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment (EAR) Updates – Presentation to Council In January 2024, the Village notified the Florida Department of Commerce of its intent to prepare an Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR)-based amendment to its Comprehensive Plan, as required by Section 163.3177, Florida Statutes. The amendment would update the existing Goals, Objectives, and Policies (GOPs) as well as the Data and Analysis (D&A) and was structured around four (4) thematic sections:  People and Places (Future Land Use, Annexation, Housing)  Well-Maintained and Efficient Infrastructure (Transportation, Capital Improvement, Infrastructure)  Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Community (Conservation, Coastal Management, Recreation and Open Space)  Responsible and Accessible Government (Intergovernmental Coordination, Property Rights, Evaluation and Monitoring) The Village contracted Chen Moore and Associates (CMA) to prepare a new Introduction Element as well as the People and Places, and Well-Maintained and Efficient Infrastructure, which include the following elements:  Future Land Use  Annexation  Housing  Transportation  Capital Improvement  Infrastructure Meanwhile, JMorton Planning and Landscape Architecture was contracted to prepare the Attractive and Environmentally Friendly Community section, which includes the following elements:  Conservation  Coastal Management  Recreation and Open Space The final three elements, Intergovernmental Coordination, Property Rights, and Evaluation and Monitoring, were prepared by former Community Development staff. The format for the GOPs is underline and strike-through. The underline represents language to be added and strike-through represents language to be removed. The Data and Analysis sections for each Element are located in the second document that is also part of the EAR based Comprehensive Plan amendment initiative. Throughout the process, there was extensive public participation and engagement with stakeholders regarding the proposed updates. The Village hosted two public workshops with the Planning, Zoning, and Adjustment Board (PZAB) on June 4 and July 2, 2024. The goal of these workshops was to provide information on each element and receive feedback from the Board. On August 6, 2024, the PZAB, sitting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA), recommended app roval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. Following the LPA’s recommendation, the project team conducted individual meetings with each member of the Village Council. These meetings were held during the weeks of August 26 and September 9, 2024. On November 7, 2024, the Village Council unanimously approved the transmittal of the Comprehensive Plan through the adoption of the Ordinance on f irst reading. The project team submitted the subject documents to the State Land Planning Agency (Florida Department of Commerce) and other reviewing agencies on November 15, 2024. On January 17, 2025, the Department of Commerce issued the Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report to the Village. Pursuant to Section 163.3184(4)(e)(1), Florida Statutes, the second public hearing was required to be held within 180 days of receipt of the ORC report (or by July 16, 2025). In addition to the Department of Commerce, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) also submitted comments and recommendations (see ORC report). On January 30, 2025, the Village’s consultants met with Stephanie Heidt of TCRPC to address their comments and recommendations. Based on those discussions, Village staff and the consultants revised the amendment to incorporate applicable feedback. Village staff also met with Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) on February 5, 2025. On March 7, 2025, the Village submitted updated documents to the Department of Commerce for a courtesy review (see courtesy review). On May 15, 2025, a final coordination meeting was held with James Stansbury, Donna Harris, Jon Coulter, and Keith Davie from the Department of Commerce. The subject documents considered at the adoption hearing (Second Reading) incorporated revisions in response to the ORC report. On June 12, 2025, the Village Council adopted the EAR-based Comprehensive Plan amendments but requested a presentation to discuss the changes made since the transmittal hearing. Following the adoption, the Comprehensive Plan was uploaded to the Department of Commerce website and sent to other reviewing agencies on June 16, 2025. On June 17, 2025, the Department of Commerce issued a letter of acknowledgment confirming receipt of the Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation: Village Staff seeks Council discussion concerning the EAR-based Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

The proposed Amendment 24-01ER update to the Comprehensive Plan is not based upon relevant and appropriate data and analysis of sanitary sewer facilities addressing the following for the required updated planning periods: (1) current and projected demand upon sanitary sewer facilities based upon relevant and appropriate population estimates and projections, (2) current and projected designed capacity of sanitary sewer facilities, (3) current and projected operating levels of service of sanitary sewer facilities, (4) identification of any improvements that are needed to sanitary sewer facilities, including the timing and scope of such improvements, in order to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards of sanitary sewer facilities, and (5) coordination of any needed improvements within the Capital improvements Element. Background Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) serves as the Village’s primary provider for potable water and wastewater treatment. SUA’s five jurisdictions includes the Village of North Palm Beach, the City of Palm Beach Gardens, the Towns of Lake Park and Juno Beach and unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County. The service area for the PGA Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGA WWTP) is approximately 78 square miles and includes Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Lake Park, a portion of Juno Beach, and unincorporated portions of Palm Beach County east of the C-18 Canal. See below Figure 1 presenting the service area. It is not anticipated that the service area will significantly change within the next 10 years. 5 The following responses are based on coordination with Mr. Brandon Selle, Chief Operating Officer (COO) from SUA, and documents provided such as the Seacoast Utility Authority PGA Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan. (1) current and projected demand upon sanitary sewer facilities based upon relevant and appropriate population estimates and projections Response: According to the Palm Beach County population allocation model, the County estimates that for Seacoast’s Utilities’ service area for 2035 and 2045 there will be 103,569 customers in 2035 and 106,537 customers in 2045. Service Area Population Projections 2020 2021 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 Seacoast 96,113 96,473 97,911 102,856 103,569 105,683 106,537 2023-2024 Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan The table below indicates that the Seacoast service area for North Palm Beach includes the following population for 2035 and 2045; 13,503 and 14,069 respectively. This reflects an increase of 1,016 residents in North Palm Beach from 2025 to 2045. Service Area Population Projections 2022 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050 North Palm Beach 12,862 13,053 13,297 13,503 13,838 14,069 14,337 2023 Palm Beach County Population Allocation Model – Population by Jurisdiction Based on this allocation model and SUA’s plant capacity, the Authority can accommodate the 1,016 residents and more within the 10- and 20-year planning horizons. In addition, the following Objective (Objective 1.5) has been updated to include a 10-and-20-year planning horizon for the North Palm Beach sanitary sewer. OBJECTIVE 1.5: Seacoast Utilities Utility Authority shall continue to own, operate and maintain sanitary sewer, and potable water, and reclaimed water facilities to meet existing demands and coordinate and administer the extension of, or increase in, the capacity of facilities to meet future needs within the Village of North Palm Beach for the next 10- and 20-years planning period. (2) Current and projected designed capacity of sanitary sewer facilities Response: According to the Seacoast Utility Authority PGA Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan the plant that provides service to the North Palm Beach area has a FDEP permit that currently limits the influent flows to 12.0 mgd on a three-month average daily flow (3madf) basis. Through discussions with Mr. Rim Bishop, Executive Director, and Mr. Brandon Selle, Chief Operating Officer (COO) from SUA, it is confirmed that the plant capacity should be adequate until approximately the year 2262 based on the straight-line projection of the historical maximum three-month average daily influent flows from 2000 to 2021. 6 Seacoast Utility Authority Projected Average Daily Sewer Flow Municipality Year 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 Total North Palm Beach Sewer Flow (MGD) 0.87 1.15 1.17 1.19 1.21 Figure 2 from the SUA PGA Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan demonstrates the Historical and Wastewater Flow to the SUA PGA WWTP. Figure 2. SUA Historical & Projected Wastewater Flow to the SUA PGA WWTP (3) Current and projected operating levels of service of sanitary sewer facilities Response: The current level of service of sanitary sewer for the Seacoast Utility is 107 gallons per person per day of wastewater and also factors in non-residential. The subject level of service has been included in the Village’s Infrastructure and Capital Improvement Element. As indicated in the previous section, SUA has the capacity to provide services for the current and projected level of service for the next 10- and 20- year planning period. 7 (4) identification of any improvements that are needed to sanitary sewer facilities, including the timing and scope of such improvements, in order to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards of sanitary sewer facilities Response: The wastewater collection system consists of both gravity sewer and low-pressure sewer systems. There is approximately 328 miles of wastewater collection system pipes ranging in diameter from 1½ inches through 24 inches. According to SUA 30-year Wastewater Treatment Plan, there are no projections for service area expansion for the next 20 years. Per to SUA’s statement, “Seacoast currently owns, operates, and maintains sufficient permitted wastewater treatment, reuse, and disposal capacity to serve its projected 2045 population. Thus, no expansion will be required. Through the planning horizon, however, Seacoast proposes to renew and/or replace approximately 6 lift stations, 1 mile of sanitary sewer force main, and 4 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and appurtenances within the Village of North Palm Beach. During the same period, Seacoast will update, renew, restore, and replace such treatment, reuse and disposal infrastructure as may be required to sustain its level of service.” Based on the analysis conducted in the 30 Year Wastewater Treatment Plan, majority of gravity main pipes are in good condition. Approximately 444,900 feet or 84.3 miles of gravity sewer pipes have been lined with cured in place pipe (CIPP) liner. The study takes into account that the age of the pipe was assumed to be the age that the CIPP was installed. Thus, meaning that the pipes would a remaining useful life of at least 15 years, being the closest to exhaust their useful life located in the southeast and central area of the SUA east service area. Based on the useful life of the infrastructure, Seacoast will need to renew/replace some wastewater related infrastructure within the 20-year planning horizon. (5) coordination of any needed improvements within the Capital improvements Element. Since SUA is the Village’s provider for sanitary sewer, the Village regularly coordinates with this agency on any capital improvements modifications. At this moment, as indicated previously there is not projected expansions for the next 10- and 20- year period. 2. Comment # 1 (Septic System Conversion to Central Sanitary Sewer System Service) “The proposed Amendment 24-0lER is not consistent with the requirements of Section 163.3177(6)(c)3., F.S. Chapter No. 2023-169 amended Section 163.3177(6)(c)3., Florida Statutes (F.S.), to require the Infrastructure Element to consider the feasibility of providing sanitary sewer services to any development of more than 50 residential lots, whether built or unbuilt, with more than one onsite sewage treatment and disposal system (OSTDS) per one acre within a 10-year planning horizon, and to identify the wastewater facility (capacity, projected flows for the next 20 years, and time line for construction of the sanitary sewer system) that could receive the sanitary sewer flows after connection. Section 163.3177{6)(c)3., F.S., requires that each comprehensive plan must be updated to include the required element by July 1, 2024, and as needed thereafter to account for future applicable developments. The proposed Amendment 24-0lER does not include the information required by Section 163.3177{6)(c)3., F.S., in the adopted portion of the Infrastructure Element. In addition, please see the enclosed comments (letter dated December 13, 2024) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The Village should coordinate with FDEP and revise the amendment to include the information required by Section 163.3177(6)(c)3., F.S., in the adopted portion of the Infrastructure Element.” 8 The Village of North Palm Beach is currently connected to SUA’s central sanitary sewer system. However, over the years, the Village has annexed approximately 100 properties that are still using septic tanks. The proposed EAR update includes a policy (Policy 1.5.5) stating that these unsewered areas will be connected to the central sewer system once their septic tank systems fail, see below current proposed policy: Proposed Policy (no changes) POLICY 1.5.5: When central sanitary sewer service becomes available to currently unsewered areas, and existing septic tank systems fail to meet state water quality standards and/or endanger the public health, connection to the central system shall be required within 365 days per F.S. 381.00655. 3. Comment (Future Land Use Intensity Standards): The proposed Amendment 24-01ER is not consistent with the requirements of sections 163.3177(1) and 163.3177(6)(a) l., F.S., which provide that a future land use category must include meaningful and predictable standards for the intensity of use for non-residential land uses. The proposed Amendment 24- 01ER to the Future Land Use Element (Policy 1.1.3 and Table FLU-1) does not establish meaningful and predictable standards for the maximum intensity of non-residential uses allowed within the following future land use categories: Public Buildings & Grounds and Other Public Facilities. The Village should revise the future land use categories to establish meaningful and predictable standards for the maximum non- residential intensities of land use. Response: The Village of North Palm Beach acknowledges the comment provided by the State regard the meaningful and predictable standards for the maximum non-residential intensities of land use. Historically, the Public Buildings & Grounds and Other Public Facilities future land use categories do Not contemplate intensity. The Village will further review and examine this Comprehensive Plan policy (Policy 1.1.3 and Table FLU-1) at a future time after the adoption of the subject EAR update. In addition to the ORC report provided by Florida Department of Commerce on January 17, 2025. The Village of North Palm Beach received comments from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC). The below comments were offered to the Village for consideration prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan amendments. 1. Policy 1.2.1 in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element reference the Transportation Planning “Authority,” this should be the Transportation Planning “Agency.” 2. In the Property Rights Element, the language has been changed from indicating that the Village will ensure the property rights are considered in “local decision making,” to “planning and development decisions.” Consistent with other reviews by Florida Commerce, the intent of the legislation mandating inclusion of a property rights element was to ensure that all decision making considers property rights. The Village should replace the language in Goal 1 to reflect all decisions, and not just planning and development decisions, will protect individual property rights. 3. Vehicular and pedestrian interconnections between adjacent parcels provides a good way to improve transportation efficiency, reduce vehicle trips on the roadway network, and enhance resident convenience. The Village should consider adding a policy to Objective 1.8 or expanding Policy 1.8.2 in the Transportation Element calling for the provision of vehicle and pedestrian cross access connections with new development and redevelopment. 9 4. So that residents of the Village can have greater proximity to more commuter options, the Village should consider revising Objective 1.4, Policy 1.4.5 or Objective 1.9, Policy 1.9.2 in the Transportation Element to call for the extension of Tri-Rail service northwards to Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, and Lake Park. In addition, Objective 1.10, Policy 1.10.6 could be clarified by adding a mention of Tri-Rail. 5. The Village is to be commended for the clear and firm commitment to coordinating school planning expressed in Objective 1.3, Policy 1.3.7 in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element. Proposed Policies: POLICY 1.4.14: The Village shall encourage vehicular and pedestrian interconnections between adjacent parcels by incorporating cross-access connections in new development and redevelopment. Proposed Policy: POLICY 1.9.2: The Village supports the development of the Tri-County Rail System (Tri-Rail) and additional transit systems on a self-supporting basis. POLICY 1.10.6: The Village shall support efforts of FDOT, to the extent possible, in securing Federal, State and County funds for continued expansion of the South Florida Rail Corridor such as Tri-Rail. 10 See next page EXHIBIT A – Updated Data and Analysis Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 1 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE DATA AND ANALYSIS Updated Language since ORC Report in Blue Font INTRODUCTION This Infrastructure Element of the Comprehensive Plan examines the various resources within the jurisdiction of the Village of North Palm Beach. It includes sub-elements such as Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Stormwater Management, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge. Each sub-section is addressed separately below. Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, all land development regulations, and development permitting actions are required to be consistent with the Infrastructure Element as with the other elements of the Comprehensive Plan. This document reflects the planning horizon for the Village’s infrastructure for the next 10 and 20 years. EXISTING CONDITIONS SANITARY SEWER The purpose of the sanitary sewer sub-element is to guide the preparation of plans and policies necessary to assure the availability of capacity, treatment, and disposal of wastewater for projected growth and future needs of the Village of North Palm Beach. This sub-element analyzes the Village’s existing sanitary sewer collection system and facilities, and also discusses future generation levels. Sanitary sewer service within the North Palm Beach municipal boundaries is not directly provided by the Village. With the exception of a few remaining septic tanks, sanitary sewer service, including collection, transmission, and disposal is provided by Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA). To ensure that all existing and proposed developments have adequate sanitary facilities, the Village continues to include SUA in the site plan review and permitting process. Also, to ensure concurrency, the Village requests SUA’s approval (or approval with conditions) of proposed projects and developments prior to the issuance of building permits. During development order review, SUA requires developers to upgrade the capacity of existing systems or build new systems to meet sanitary sewer needs in order to ensure that adequate capacity is available. For North Palm Beach, the wastewater treatment is based out of the SUA’s PGA Wastewater Treatment Plant. The service area for the PGA Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGA WWTP) is approximately 78 square miles and includes Palm Beach Gardens, North Palm Beach, Lake Park, a portion of Juno Beach, and unincorporated portions of Palm Beach County east of the C-18 Canal. Figure 1 presents the service area. According to SUA, it is not anticipated that the service area will significantly change within the next 10 years. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 2 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE As noted in the Future Land Use Element, based on 2020 Census data, the population of North Palm Beach is 13,162 persons. Utilizing the estimated population, current wastewater use by the Village is estimated at 1,408,334 gallons per day (i.e., population of 13,162 residents x 107 gallons per capita per day). Using the population projections from the Palm Beach County Population Allocation Model (14,069 residents) and the LOS set by SUA, it is projected that the Village's wastewater needs will reach 1,505,383 gallons per day by 2045. Table 1.0 – Service Area Population Projections Service Area Population Projections 2022 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 2050 North Palm Beach 12,862 13,053 13,297 13,503 13,838 14,069 14,337 2023 Palm Beach County Population Allocation Model – Population by Jurisdiction The site plan review and building processes established by the Village and the requirements established in the Policies of its Comprehensive Plan, ensure effective coordination with developers during the planning and phasing stages of development to meet wastewater collection and treatment needs. The Village is available for and encourages developers to take advantage of preliminary/pre - application meetings to ensure that developers are aware of the Village’s code requirements. Developers are also encouraged to meet with SUA representatives during the preliminary stages of development to clarify wastewater requirements and standards. These opportunities Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 3 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE are on-going practices of both the Village and the SUA, and they continue to be available to developers. Seacoast currently owns, operates, and maintains sufficient permitted wastewater treatment, reuse, and disposal capacity to serve its projected 2045 population. SUA owns and maintain approximately 285 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and more than 150 pump ing stations. The gravity sewer pipelines are used to transfer the sanitary sewage discharged from residential and commercial properties to one of SUA’s multiple lift stations and then to the wastewater treatment plant. According to SUA 30-year Wastewater Treatment Plan, there are no projections for service area expansion for the next 10 -20 years. The Village of North Palm Beach is currently connected to SUA’s central sanitary sewer system. However, over the years, the Village has annexed approximately 100 properties that are still using septic tanks. With regard to wastewater as a whole, the Palm Beach County Health Department (a State agency) enforces Federal, State, and SUA standards regulating the central sanitary sewer and septic tank systems serving North Palm Beach. However, through the planning horizon, Seacoast proposes to renew and/or replace approximately 6 lift stations, 1 mile of sanitary sewer force main, and 4 miles of gravity sewer pipelines and appurtenances within the Village of North Palm Beach. During the same period, Seacoast will update, renew, restore, and replace such treatment, reuse and disposal infrastructure as may be required to sustain its level of service. Seacoast Utility Authority also provides “reclaimed” water which is wa stewater (sewage) that has been treated and disinfected to meet Florida’s stringent irrigation water quality standards. The water is treated and stored at Seacoast’s PGA Regional Water Reclamation Facility and pumped through 24 miles of pipeline to nearly 40 high-volume irrigation customers. The PGA Regional Water Reclamation facility provides service to participating governments. It has a current permitted capacity of 12 mgd. SUA has anticipates that the plant capacity should be adequate until approximately the year 2262 based on the straight-line projection of the historical maximum three-month average daily influent flows from 2000 to 2021. Additionally, SUA has projected that the average daily sewer flow for North Palm Beach would Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 4 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE range from 0.87 MGD in 2025 to 1.21 in 2045. The below table indicates the projected averages for daily sewer flow.

Figure 2. SUA Historical & Projected Wastewater Flow to the SUA PGA WWTP Level of Service The Level of Service (LOS) for average daily sewage generation rate for capital sanitary sewer facilities in North Palm Beach is a maximum of 107 gallons/capita/day for residential uses. There is no fixed level of service requirement for nonresidential uses such as commercial, Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 5 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE public, educational, and other public buildings; the estimated sewage generation is based on the Florida Administrative Code. As indicated in the previous section, SUA has the capacity to provide services for the current and projected level of service for the next 10 - and 20- year planning period. Because the wastewater collection, transmission, treatment, and disposal facilities are owned, operated, and maintained by Seacoast, the Village has neither the responsibility nor the authority to provide for system improvements. SOLID WASTE Along with sanitary sewer systems, solid waste management is important to keeping the Village clean. This solid waste sub-section evaluates resources available for the Village’s projected population growth and assesses the solid waste needs for future and current residents of North Palm Beach. In addition, this sub -section examines the Village’s existing solid waste and hazardous waste management services and facilities, projects future waste generation levels, and suggests alternatives for lowering per capita waste ge neration rates. Because the Village of North Palm Beach is primarily a residential community, residential uses generate the majority of the Village’s solid waste. Commercial and other uses generate less solid waste. Within the North Palm Beach Public Works Department, the Solid Waste division is responsible for the collection and disposal of residential and commercial garbage, trash, bulk items, vegetation, and recycling within the Village. Contractors and hired individuals for lawn and tree services are required to haul away any vegetation, branches, etc. that they trim. Vegetation debris can be left for pickup only if it was created by the homeowner or tenant. Also, any construction debris from renovations, demolitions, or construction must be removed by building contractors and/or handymen. Accordingly, the following Levels of Service for residential and non-residential collection of solid waste have been established by the Village: • Monday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. • Tuesday: Glass and plastic recycling pickup (blue bin), plus bulk items by appointment ONLY. • Wednesday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. • Thursday: Paper and cardboard recycling pickup (yellow bin), plus bulk items by appointment ONLY. • Friday: Garbage & vegetation Village-wide. Village of North Palm Beach Comprehensive Plan INF – 6 Ordinance # Page: 16 EFFICIENT & WELL-MAINTAINED INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE TRENDS AND CHALLENGES Future Growth (Solid Waste) Although the Village is essentially “built out,” it is also experiencing a phase of redevelopment. With a projected population growth of 724 residents by 2045, the Village must prepare for the additional waste from the future residents. Fortunately, the So lid Waste Authority (SWA) has continued to improve its dumping and solid waste collection practices. SWA implemented sophisticated liner systems to keep trash and leachate (“garbage juice”) from seeping into the ground. SWA has also extended the life of the landfill through recycling and other projects through 2054. Future Growth (Sewer) As mentioned, the Village is experiencing redevelopment. As the population grows, the amount of sanitary sewer waste generated is expected to increase. Significant change s in growth, annexation, or development will require re-evaluation of existing sanitary sewer capacity. The Village shall continue to coordinate with Seacoast Utility Authority to ensure that adequate infrastructure is available for the projected populatio n. Sea Level Rise Due to its flat topography, porous limestone geology, and dense coastal development, Southeast Florida is one of the areas most susceptible to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. Climate change and sea level rise are expec ted to present significant challenges to water resource planning, management, and infrastructure in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami - Dade, and Monroe counties. Saltwater intrusion into the primary sources of drinking water in the tri-county area (SAS and Biscayne aquifers) is of primary concern. Local governments and water utilities in the Southeast Florida region have formalized the integration of water supply and climate change considerations as part of coordinated planning efforts, including updates to local government regulations and water utility 10-year Water Supply Facility Work Plans and enhancements to local government’s Comprehensive Plans. Key considerations for communities within the four County Compact planning area include: 1) sea level rise, 2) saltwater intrusion, 3) extreme weather, and 4) infrastructure investments to support diversification and sustainability of water supply sources, and adaptive storm water and wastewater systems. Aging Infrastructure The Village’s existing infrastructure is close to the end of its useful life span. Although some infrastructure has been updated over the years, some require improvements or replacement. It is imperative that the Village continue to assess its existing facilities and upgrade them in a timely manner. Table 1-4 indicates the length and year sewer force mains were built. As indicated, the Village infrastructure began in 1957. Table 1-5 indicates that North Palm Beach has approximately 9,076 linear feet of sewer force main with a useful-life span of less than 0 years. Approximately 196 linear feet of sewer force main have a useful-life Span of 0-5 years, and approximately 1,639 linear feet of sewer force main have a useful -life span of 6-10 years. The Village in conjunction with SUA should evaluate the need for upgrading that infrastructure which has reached, or is near the end of, its useful life span.

Approximately 444,900 feet or 84.3 miles of gravity sewer pipes have been lined with cured in place pipe (CIPP) liner. The study takes into account that the age of the pipe was assumed to be the age that the CIPP was installed.

As a coastal community, the Village is challenged by high groundwater levels, rising sea levels, increasingly frequent intense storms, as well as saltwater intrusion and water quality concerns. The Village strives to improve its stormwater management by supporting both physical assets as well as policies, procedures, and operations in preparation for flooding events, and p rotecting the Village’s groundwater, surface waters, and natural resources.
