Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
458 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 33 voices separated from the audio.
37 short machine repair(s) (46 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs and whether a voice was detected where the words are. Not completed: language review.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.1% of 19,967 content words.
Dotted words (411 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
458 passages (22% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Inspection is incomplete: language review.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

Latham. Council, as you're all aware, as we've been going through these trying times with COVID-19, those individuals that I just called out have, for more than five weeks, been using their time, their efforts, and their technology to reach out to those in need who needed the vaccination. ‸ They have been getting up at 530 in the morning, logging in to whatever means necessary that they had and mechanisms that they had, and getting our citizens signed up ‸ to get the vaccination, whether it was at Publix or any other site.

You can't have anything else unless you have academics. And we have an excellent leader and ‸ educator like Mrs. Heber that speaks volumes. Because it's the number of lives that she has touched and will continue to touch.
They're here to support her. And that's a wonderful thing. So this key is dedicated to this charming young lady. In honor of her constant love, encouragement, and dedication to treating professionals and the students of faculty of Cocoa High School.

That is our children, our kids. Because wherever they go, we go with them. And wherever we go as educators, we take them along with us. So that's the reason why I'm here acknowledging one of our very own, homegrown very own. And that's why I stand with pride. Tiger pride. And we're proud of this charming young lady. So without further ado, we would like to surrender the microphone to hear from this elegant voice.
Surprise! ‸ Thank you so much, Mayor Blake and Council. I really appreciate this opportunity to serve my community. Although it is an award that's been given to me, I feel like it is certainly something that I can take humbly. Simply because it's just very overwhelming.
I'm not going to let off the hook yet. But tears of joy. You get what I'm saying? Now, these are the important days in our lives that we can share that are priceless. And we will cherish this moment,
And she's always on the phone with them. ‸ You know, you call her on the weekend. What are you doing? Grading papers. Yeah. What are you doing? All this stuff. So we're very, very proud of her. I couldn't have done her a better job, I think.

I'm going to let him think for a minute. I have one little story that's my very most favorite about Carrie. I was assisting with a very special project she and Mrs. York were doing called Senior Project. It was research papers and all kinds of things, concluding with small six to eight minute speeches. And I had gone up there to critique the kids on their practice round to help them out a little bit and clean them up for the next week. So she was sitting at her desk and we were having a break. And this one child came in, scuffling in with his head hanging down, walked up to her desk. And she said, ‸ what do you need? And he said, I don't have such and such. Whatever it was he was supposed to have, I couldn't really hear. She looked at him. He said, you're going to be mad at me. She looked at him and said, I'm not mad at you. I'm disappointed. And you're going to get an F, but I'm not mad at you. So he turned around and walked out. And two hours later, he showed up with the missing item. I know that the word disappointed worked a whole lot better than being mad at him. And she wasn't. Thank

Now, the next person that we're going to surrender the microphone gave Carrie her first pair of roller skates. And she still has a charming smile. So she has balance and coordination. So without further ado, Deputy Mayor Brenda Warner will tell us something about Carrie.

When she came to work with me at a business here in Cocoa Village, she was going to school, working part-time, trying to do her studies, and planning her future. Even as a teenager and a high school student, Carrie had an amazing work ethic. She worked a lot harder than a lot of the adult women we worked with. She was also a lot more mature than some of them.
I really appreciated that because without her encouragement, getting me involved in senior projects and homecoming and project graduation, I would have never, ever got to meet some of the kids at Cocoa High that I got to meet.
I'm so proud to say that I knew her before she ever, ever set foot on Cocoa High as a school teacher. And I've got to watch her entire career. And it's been amazing.

Kiwanis Island Park and Constitution Bicentennial Park, which is where all the windsurfers are in Cocoa Beach. It is also going to be coupled with a food drive.
would be willing to donate some food. We'd love for everybody to show up. We have the support of the County Commission. Brian Lover was kind enough to donate some supplies. We have gloves, water. We will have hand washing stations, masks. Keep Brevard Beautiful is also working with us. They will be providing buckets, grabbers, trash bags. And so we're really looking forward to a really nice event. Volunteers all the way across 520. This is really about bringing some awareness to the issues that we have with litter, with our homeless issues in this county. And just getting the individual communities to work together with a real true spirit of unity and ‸ doing something, not just griping. So we'd love to have you there. You can find the event link on Facebook if you go to I pick up litter.
Because Mr. City Manager, sir, with your blessings and the blessings of council, can we advertise her? Because we've all worked with Mrs. Baker, with the various council members here.

Dykstra with Stantec, I have the opportunity to present the results of the study. This will be a little bit of a refresher for those of you at the February 1 workshop. And so, with that, I'll dive in.

The first two in the gray shading include the revenue sufficiency analysis and a comparison of utilities rates and bills to other local communities. These two items, numbers one and two here, are really focused on utilities short and long-term financial sustainability. And they're updated as part of the annual budget process with the city in roughly the March through September timeframe.
utility and answering the question, how much revenue is needed? When it comes to a comprehensive rate study, this is done less frequently, but it also comprises of that first part, the revenue sufficiency study, but also a specific review of the rates charges, fees and services for fees and for services that the utility charges. So, you know, if you think of it in three buckets, you have your monthly user rates that customers pay for services used or utility services used. Number two would be a number four there on the screen would be the impact fees for new development. And then the utility also charges miscellaneous services, service charges for, you know, things like account processing, service initiation, meter testing, et cetera. But all of these focus on, okay, how we understand what the, how much revenue is needed and how are we going to collect it in an equitable manner? And so that's really the focus of tonight's presentation is, is the items there three, four and five.
here that I've highlighted is, is important for the conversation relative to the rate structure. Um, as you can see on the screen, we, this is just a snapshot of the 10 year financial plan for the utility. Um, ‸ as you can see, no rate increase was implemented October 1st of last year. And so that'll be, as I said, that's an important thing to remember as we continue this conversation tonight. But what this plan offers is really a look ahead at what, what the utility can be from a financial strength and stability standpoint.
and we're looking at some future borrowing timing and amounts will depend on level of capital execution, but really just a snapshot of a financially healthy and strong, uh, sustainable utility. Relative to, uh, the rate study and what we're discussing this evening, the first component is there, the monthly user rates that, um, customers pay for water and sewer services. It's the best practice to review these, um, periodically. We would kind of look at the, every three to five year period.
the last time the utility looked at this in depth was back in 2010. And so our findings of the rate structure review monthly charges review, if you will, is that it generally conforms to industry best practices. Um, however, we are recommending a few minor modifications specifically. Number one, to the base charges to make sure that those are locally comparable, um, but still recovering a good amount of revenue. Um, from those types of charges
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:32:30–00:32:30 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
are fixed in nature. So they provide the utilities and revenue stability. Um, and then secondly, related to the tiers, making sure that understanding we haven't updated the tiers since 2010. Customer usage patterns have changed over the years.
current usage profiles or patterns that, that your customers are, are, um, observing. So we'll get into the, what those details mean in a moment. But a key takeaway here is these recommended rates are intended to be revenue neutral. And that goes back to the previous slide where we said, okay, no rate increase this year. So that what that means is that for the overall system, we weren't increasing rates across the board so that the utility generates more revenue.
that we're recovering the same amount of revenue as you do under your current rate structure. And with that being said though, it's important to consider
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:33:46–00:33:50 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:33:57–00:33:58 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
That's based on meter size. So in other words, no matter how much usage there is, this is the monthly fixed charge. Um, so we are recommending a few, uh, an update to the base charges to reflect industry standards from a pricing standpoint, the price between meters.
the volumetric rate for reclaimed water for the water system. Again, a two part, two part rate, you know, two rate components, if you will, a fixed monthly base charge based by based upon meter size and a volumetric component based on the monthly usage for the base charges.
is we are recommending a slight reduction in the overall revenue and ‸ rate for a three quarter inch meter, which is your typical residential, um, even ‸ commercial.
to local communities, but still maintaining a good amount of revenue stability. Um, so we're not, we don't want that to go to zero or be significantly reduced because we want the utility to be able to count on, you know, ongoing revenue from fixed charges.
slide, but, um, also updating the pricing between meter sizes based on industry standards as well. For the volumetric charges, looking at two main adjustments. One is to the tier sizing. You'll see there in that table, some slight modifications in the tiers. And basically what that means is for tier one, for example, currently it's zero to 6,000 gallons per month. We're recommending zero to 5,000 gallons. And then you'll see some minor shifts down the line for tiers two, three, and four as well.
we're seeing reductions in per capita use, um, just with more efficient fixtures, um, understanding of water conservation. And so that these updated tiers reflect those, um, those concepts from a pricing perspective, we're recommending, um, keeping tier one, the same price at 342 for an inside city customer per thousand gallons. And then you can see a,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:36:33–00:36:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
providers. This puts us more in the middle, um, more, more, more competitive and more comparable from a fixed charge standpoint. For the sewer system, again, two part component base charges and volumetric charges. Um, whereas on the water, we're recommending a reduction to the base charge for sewer. We're looking at an increase, slight increase, um, that almost offsets the decrease, um, on base charges for water for a customer that has both services. But, um, looking at updating the pricing by, by meter sizes as well to match industry standards. And what that means if base charges are going up, we, to be revenue neutral, keeping that concept going, um, we'd have to reduce the volumetric rate.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:37:41–00:37:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
us up towards the middle. Um, ‸ and generally a trend we're seeing within the industry is to recover more of revenue on sewer from, from those fixed charges.
When you combine the two together, looking at a total bill now with these proposed rates, this is a bill comparison for a residential customer using 4,000 gallons a month. Actually we'd see a reduction in their bill of $1.14 on a monthly basis. Just again, comparing to

Flag: the recognizer flagged its own output; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:38:29–00:38:37 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
most important parts of any study like this is understanding the customer impacts. So next few slides we'll go through some of the major customer groups, if you will, and understand how they're going to be impacted. This is a residential customer bill impact. This is for water and sewer service inside city customers. It's about 6% of your overall bills, but 97% of them would see either reductions or increases of no more than $1.50, and that's for those using 10,000 gallons or less. Just to reiterate that, about 97% of these customers use 10,000 gallons or less, and so they're going to see pretty either reductions or increases to their bill. For the 3% that use more than 10,000 gallons, they're going to see generally increases, and that's reflected because of the tier two, three, and four rates are being increased here. So it just encourages water conservation. This is the same information just depicted in a table format. A lot of times we ‸ may say, yeah, a typical customer uses four or
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:39:50–00:39:53 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
also understand that over the course of a year, a customer one month maybe uses three, maybe uses five or 6,000 gallons a month. So this just shows you the relative impacts if, you know, if you were, you know, if your usage shifted from month to month. For the biggest group of your customers is outside city water only. It won't come as a surprise to you that that's the case. About 85% of your overall bills go to this customer group. 78% of those use between zero and 6,000 gallons. They'd see a reduction of $1.80 a month with the proposed rates. 19% would see about a $2 increase, and the three highest users using more than 10,000 gallons, they would see
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:40:47–00:40:50 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
how much water they're using. Again, same information just depicted ‸ in a table format. As you can see, just month to month how you ‸ might shift. Between those two customer groups, that accounts for over 90% of your customers for the utility. There are, and that's residential, just those two groups. Thank
There are obviously non-residential or commercial customers that use water services or water sewer services. So we tried to highlight impacts to some of them as well. This is another substantial group, outside city water only, and you can kind of see the range of impacts. It's just really going to depend on how much water is used. Those using water
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:41:40–00:41:40 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
larger increases. Another key consideration or customer group is those large users that provide, you know, you provide a lot of water to, and they're going to see generally minor impacts given the relative size of their overall monthly bills on average. The second component in the rate study or review was the miscellaneous service charges and fees. As I touched on earlier, these are things like service initiation, meter testing, meter installs,
Flag: the recognizer flagged its own output; the machine readings disagree here; a language review questioned the wording · 00:42:30–00:42:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And so ‸ the process and goal, if you will, here is to identify the cost that the city incurs to perform each one of these and use that to inform a decision ‸ on a fee to be implemented. These fees are already in place, so this process is really just updating the cost to help determine what should the fees actually be. So
one of these 60 or so fees takes to accomplish, identifying the time in terms of labor, equipment vehicles, able to determine what is the cost to perform each one of these activities.
of, I mentioned roughly 60 fees or so, 90% of them are lower than the costs ‸ that were calculated. And so what we're recommending is a three-year phase-in for those fees that are substantially different than their costs. That way
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:43:46–00:43:46 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
currently, we're recommending lowering it to that cost level so we're not quote-unquote over recovering. Done some, recommending some consolidation of fees as well, a couple fees that are captured in other fees that weren't being charged, and so we've ‸ sorted that out. And we do recommend updating these ‸ more frequently than has been done. I know the city looked at this a little bit last year in 2020, but just touched on a few, you know, several of these.
‸ And then finally, the last component was the impact fees. These called a lot of different things within the industry, system development charges, capital charges, impact fees. But generally speaking, they mean the same thing.
that's necessitated by growth. And in this way, new development pays for itself and you don't have existing ratepayers, you know, paying for the growth of the system. And not to get into too technical of a discussion here, but from a high level, the process or the formula for determining these fees is to identify the value in terms of the utility system and divide that by the system's capacity.
utility ‸ assets. We adjust for, we don't include distribution and collection mains that are oftentimes developer contributed. So we're not double recovering those costs. We also make an adjustment for outstanding debt for the utility. So that once these customers come on as customers, they're going to be paying user rates on a monthly basis.
And so by making this reduction in the impact fees, we avoid that, that double recovery of costs. And the results for the water, you currently have three impact fees. One is a water, one is water with reclaimed and a third one is sewer.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:46:10–00:46:11 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
both water impact fees. The sewer currently at $1,250 per equivalent unit. You can see the calculated number at 3,600 there. What we're recommending is to not quite, or
is water, water impact fee only. You can see we're recommending maintaining the current fee at 1300 or 1300, or I'm sorry, $1,700, $1,750. Maintaining that, that keeps you right around the average. And then also maintaining the water
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:47:02–00:47:03 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
$1,300. On the sewer side, currently you have the lowest sewer impact fee in the area, all the way off to the left there. The calculated fee would put you all the way to the right almost, at 3,600. And so our recommendation looking at this, this graphic is let's, understanding that we need to recover more costs with the sewer impact fee. And let's try to get that more closer to the average around,
And cost, you know, a new development or new, ‸ new development or, if you will, would pay, that would pay both water and sewer. This is what that combined fee would ‸ look like.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:47:55–00:47:58 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
right in the middle. And so in summary, we touched on the revenue sufficiency analysis. Again, this is a process that each year is updated, informs your annual rate adjustments if needed. Like
said, last year we didn't have one. An increase that is. But this ‸ is a process that's done as part of the annual budget and done in conjunction with that. And you know, that, that process will begin within a few weeks, I would expect.
The modifications to the ‸ reclaimed water, water and sewer rates, monthly rates and charges would be effective April 1. And that's covered in the, in the public hearing tonight, as well as the miscellaneous service charges.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:49:03–00:49:06 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:49:08–00:49:10 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
cost levels. Relative to the impact fees, no change to water and water with reclaimed. So no action necessary there. We are recommending on the sewer side, increasing that from 1250 per ERC up to 2500 per ‸ ERC.
we introduced the proposals, proposed rates and fees here on, on the workshop back in February. Utility bill notices have been sent out this past month. And here we are tonight at the public hearing, uh, going forward, as I mentioned, the proposed rates, um, for the monthly user rates and the miscellaneous first step miscellaneous fees would be going to affect April 1st. And then the, um, sewer impact fee October 1st of this year. So without take happy to entertain any questions you may have, um, I'll stay through the public hearing too, in case any questions or comments come up from that.

Yeah, I requested this agenda item for the purpose of increasing civic engagement. This is to create term limits for advisory boards. At one time, we had a really difficult time filling all the seats on our boards. That has since changed and some of that is based on the success of our citizen academy, where we have people that volunteer leaders that are investing several months and learning more about the city and really come to the table prepared and eager to be involved. And they find that there are limited seats available. This would propose a term limit. Well, it's six years here and that's because it would be a multiple three years since we already have in the ordinance that each service is for three years. So, I actually looking at this, the term limit for council members is eight years. It has not been uncommon. This certainly happened in the past where a council member completed that term, sat out for a year and was called to further service.
volunteer leaders on the advisory boards that, of course, we really appreciate because they add a lot to the robustness of our democracy here and understanding, getting feedback, as well as guidance on which way to go for this council. ‸ So, I would like to propose a motion that we consider, well, that we would be asking, I guess we would be asking for an ordinance for term limits and rather than six years, I would like that to be nine years. And I

Volunteers, you don't scream, holler, belittle. You never fire them. They're coming late. You say, thank you. I'm glad you're here because they're volunteering.
our community that's been here ‸ and volunteering every year for 15, 20 years. I just can't see terminating people that has given their life, some of them 20%, 40 and a quarter of their life, doing the volunteer work on the board. Thank you,

So is there any way to add that in? If there's no one to replace them at that nine-year mark, could you possibly add in, you know, they get reappointed if no one is there?
To reflect that if there was no available volunteer, that they could certainly be reappointed. I'd like to respond to the firing because that's certainly not the intent here to fire.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:56:58–00:56:58 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
So this would only affect them if they were at the nine-year mark. And I would certainly encourage them. There's nothing wrong with moving to another committee and kind of cross-pollinating our committees with people that have served and come to it with that background. Um, ‸ but so, you know, the idea that, uh, this is somehow ‸ that's not the case. And these are not positions.
Well, certainly under our charter, council members, uh, have term limits. Um, the whole purpose of this is not to, uh, put anyone down that we have, they're very valued. The purpose of it is to increase our civic engagement government and recognize that we have people coming through the ranks now that are, they're really spending a lot of time in these citizen academies and they're looking for opportunities. They're eager to be involved and they are, they represent a much wider scope demographic that we may have serving in some of our committees. It's just an opportunity for us to increase civic engagement.

rate study. Um, the city has a utility handbook that incorporates some of the results of this study. Therefore, this hearing is necessary to incorporate those changes into the utility handbook, specifically addressing the change in the rates. Um, that was just discussed with the presentation and then also the miscellaneous rates fees and charges as was presented. Um, and then also this resolution includes an automatic 4% increase to the utility rates, which is based on the projection that the consultant, uh, presented to you. However, each year the sustainability analysis will be performed as part of our budget process. So, um, staff will be bringing back to you the results of that as we get through the budgetary process to determine if that rate increase is still needed or not. Um, and

Our community kitchen program is the only consistent feeding site. We offer a meal every day. Very proud to say we have never closed the Sharing Center down over this last year, considering I just heard that today marked the one-year anniversary of the official COVID response. So, this particular fund, again, is 100% for purchasing food for our community kitchen program. Just to give you some statistics, this was funded in 1920. And that goes from October 1 to September 30th. We registered 1,767 unduplicated persons, of which 1,297 were residents of the city of Cocoa. That represented 73% of all the ‸ people we served. Again,
253, or 14% of those persons, claimed to be homeless. And we served ‸ 40,563 meals that year. And take into consideration that the registered clients of that year, we did not register for three straight months. When COVID hit, we didn't ask questions. We just fed people when they came. So, currently this year, it was funded as well.

That's 77% right there. And 122 homeless, which represents 19% of all the folks that we've registered. ‸ And to date, the first quarter, almost 10,000 meals we've served. Again, 100% goes to purchasing food.

So it's wonderful to be in their presence tonight. It takes a village, really, ‸ truly. We serve families with children who have fallen into homelessness because they have lost housing. These are families who are living in hotels, motels, who are doubled up with others, who may be living in their vehicles or in shelters if there's room available. But we also serve families who are at risk of losing their housing because they've fallen behind in their rent, mortgage, or utilities. Prior to

we could do emergently to help families stabilize. In addition to our efforts this past year to work with the city to relocate our base of operations into 32922, our service focus shifted almost entirely on prevention, to keep families with children in their current housing by pairing short-term case management with financial assistance. It costs roughly $250 per child to keep a family in housing versus the cost of $5,000 to help a family once housing is lost. So

We do. So through our shelter network, if that's what you're referencing, we have, I believe it's three ‸ or four in the city of Cocoa who will host families. Meaning if the families become homeless, they will host them for a week at a time in their place of worship. The remaining congregations are scattered from Palm Bay up to Church of Our Savior Cocoa Beach. So it's definitely a shared response around the community. One really exciting initiative right now is with First Baptist Cocoa, who not only hosted families in their location, but during the pandemic have been offering space to help us have post-secondary education certification classes. They're donating all of the space so that we can hold CNA classes, that we can hold ESOL classes, and other CPT certification to help elevate residents out of poverty. Exciting network of congregations, especially in Cocoa.

Seniors are not gathering together in enclosed spaces. Yes. So, you know, and that was a real social outlet for a lot of our people. We have two

but they are getting meals. The people at Westminster Asbury Arms are getting hot meals delivered just like the Meals on Wheels folks are. But COVID has also, you know, required us to, you know, juggle things a little bit different. ‸ How are we going to do things?

So we just want to make sure. The other thing that our office staff was doing today was we're calling all of our recipients, Meals on Wheels recipients. That's over 800 people in the county to ask if they've gotten vaccinated. And if they haven't, we're, you know, directing them where they can go. A lot of people have gotten vaccinated already. Some of them have appointments. And then we say, well, do you need transportation? So we'll arrange that as well. So we're really kind of expanding out from what we normally do. But I'm really proud to say that we really, we have not missed one single day of delivering meals to our homebound seniors.

And hopefully we didn't miss anybody, but very proud of the effort that they put forward to, to provide an enhanced level of service to the citizens and the, and the business owners and contractors of the city.

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:37:18–01:37:21 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
which would be, which will probably be a monumental undertaking, but I'm, I'm sure we will get there. And so again, um, you know, focus on enhancing services for the citizens and making it, uh, easier for them to do business with, uh, the city of Cocoa. the first company to actually receive a completed online permit.
Uh, they were the actual first company to receive the permit. And I think they did that. Um, they probably were applying within hours of us going live. So if I missed anything, somebody please jump in.

I think you've covered it really well. Uh, we've been live since March 1st. Uh, uh, permit started coming in right away. Um, I just want to reiterate. It was a real cross departmental team effort. Uh, you know, Rebecca kept us all in line financially. Uh, you know,

part of the consent package. You all approved, uh, two applications for the fine grant for the dredging and boat ramps. What wasn't included in that? We also would like approval to submit a fine application and resolution for the fishing

So they would have to be the applicant for that project. So we're just seeking approval to start that process with them as well as a resolution that we'll need with that. Second. You got it, sir. Motion to approve.

water. Um, and that was announced as the 10th, which was tomorrow to start. But since there was a couple of days where the, uh, the folks who were creating the flyers were delayed and getting it into the cycle. So we'll actually start on the 13th. So it'll be a few days later to make sure anybody who actually hasn't physically received that notification gets them over the next three days. Uh, so that'll start on Saturday. Um, and then also just a reminder, it's been on our website for a week or two, uh, but there is a shutdown of the
northbound lane, uh, and that's between needle road and Richland Avenue. Um, there, we have a water main and a valve that we have to replace out there. It's pretty big undertaking. We're taking the whole lane. So it's going to create some traffic issues. The, uh, the map is on our website, the alternate location and the way to go around it is also shown and it's been up. So I just want to let everybody know and remind anybody who might be watching. That's all, sir.
sure. Um, so, um, as we communicated before we had, uh, many qualified applicants. Um, thanks to, um, a committee that was put together. Um, seven committees members that are evaluating all of the applicants and are, um, collaboratively narrowing that list down. actually tonight at this moment, they're doing zoom interviews, um, tonight and last evening as well. last night, I think they went until about 9 PM tonight. Um, probably close to that. They're probably still up there. Um, so they did five interviews last night and they're doing five tonight. And by the end of this week, um, we should have our finalist candidates. So, um, and at that point we'll be, begin scheduling, um, a community meeting, um, once we coordinate travel and, um, all of those details. So we'll be putting some information out shortly. Um, probably by the end of the week or early next week. it's very exciting.

31,764 deaths in the state of Florida. Brevard County has had 34,833 cases and 764 deaths. City of Cocoa has had 3,183 cases. Currently to date, there are 37 active cases within the city limits that meet that 10 day window timeframe of being COVID positive. As far as vaccinations go, I really wish I had some better news.
what's going on with vaccinations, uh, there's a different set of requirements for federal sites and people being able to get vaccinated at a federal site, there's different requirements for people who are able to get vaccinated at state sites. The only upside of it is Brevard County is actually actually following the state requirements on who can get vaccinated at the county and the, um, state vaccination sites. So all in all, it just makes it more confusing for both our residents and people
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:44:49–01:44:50 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
trying to figure out where they can go to get vaccinated. Because if you don't know what a federal site is or who's being supported by the federal government, you don't know whether you can go there or not. So we've been trying to post a lot of that information on what sites are federal sites, what sites are federally supported, what sites are state supported, and then what sites are actually being County run. Um, federal sites are pretty easy until they start adding some more to the list, but our, our
I'm sorry, supported by the state. Um, that's our publics here in Brevard County and across the state of Florida. And then the only state run supported test site that we have is in Palm Bay. That is a state run, um, that's a vaccination site. Our, um, local vaccination site is in Vieira.
now. That's issuing vaccinations. Unfortunately, we're still not seeing the numbers of vaccinations coming in that we need to be able to get to our essential personnel, especially those essential workers
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:46:17–01:46:19 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
We're certainly on the front lines of that with Brevard County Emergency Management. They know that we're ready, we're capable, and we're able once those vaccinations come in so we can start doing the vaccinations here in house for our essential employees and for the city employees and then branch out even further. So we're continuing to keep that process moving forward with that open communication with emergency management. We're hoping that with the new Johnson and Johnson being approved, that maybe that'll start pushing out some more vaccinations and we'll start seeing those quicker. So today in Brevard County, there's been
So ‸ still have a long ways to go. I understand that it's very frustrating. It's certainly frustrating to us as emergency managers, but we're not giving up hope. We're not going to keep stop knocking on those doors and making those phone calls to whoever we need to, to try and get more vaccinations here in our community, especially to our population that certainly need that.
try to get off the soapbox, But if it wasn't for the volunteers like we had tonight that we recognize that have been helping us, there's no way that we've been able to reach out to as many people we have in our community to help get them vaccinated that truly needed it. So my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to those volunteers and what they mean to our community. And then last but not least, first and foremost, Mr. Mayor, I'd like to apologize for getting this information to you late. As you know, Texas has really been under a strain with all that's been going on and I've been working very diligently with a fire chief that I've known for many years in Harris County, Texas, which is Houston, the Houston area.
time. He finally got back to me. Harris County is in dire need of that water and they certainly, certainly want the water. So I'll be working with Heath and the finance department, uh, to get the information for the shipping for that water to go over there and we'll get that shipped as soon as possible. But we have certainly found a home for that, that will do a lot of good to a community that is certainly in need of it. So thank you for your patience on that. And again, we'll continue to, to move forward with everything we can through COVID and vaccinations and, uh, helping our people may remain safe.

um, um, which began this morning. And basically what that is, is a team of assessors, um, who go through all of our files. And they try to do the very hardest job on us that they can to prepare us for the onsite. So that when the onsite comes, um, anything that really stood out has already been corrected.
review stuff, things like that. So we're moving forward. And, uh, hopefully by the end of the three days, uh, we'll have good news and we'll be able to move forward for next month.

are for July 4th this year. So I wanted to, um, show you some examples. Um, as you probably all well know, you've been to the event before. This is our July 4th event. Um, it is one of our largest, probably the largest event that we do in our ‸ riverfront park area. Um, so obviously, as you can tell from these pictures, this is probably not the safest idea, um, to move forward with this year, um, with, uh, the slow rollout of the vaccine as, as chief lamb just mentioned. Um,
started after the COVID pandemic, they started these, um, family pods. Um, and so we want to do a similar idea in riverfront park using barricades. Um, and we would create family style pods in the park, um, which would severely limit the amount of people that come for this event. Um,
It still would be a free event. Um, but they would register for their family pod. Um, and we would allow about 10 people, eight to 10 people in each of the pods. Um, um, you would have to have obviously again, register ahead of time.
wearing face masks coming in, um, and that people are socially distanced, um, at the event. It's going to take a lot more planning, um, um, on our leisure services staff ahead of time,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:53:05–01:53:05 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
available to answer any questions that you might have about it. Um, I do want to say thank you. Um, the main street program historic Cocoa village main street has actually, they helped us put this diagram together, measured out the park for us. Um, and they also volunteered to help us with, with registering people for these pods. So I just wanted to say thank you to our main street program for doing that.

I like the concept. Um, we just had what four organizations, five organizations come up in here. If we can get each family member, that's whomever we decide, if we move in that direction, can we charge them one member? Each member gives one non perishable can of food as a way to help assist and aid. Our fellow servers there at, um, from sharing center all the way down.

But I'll be honest with you. It's science. And that's really what it boils down to. Uh, we're already, uh, this far along in March. We're in the second week of March. And we were supposed to have started getting more adequate supply of vaccinations, but yet
So it's really tough to say that. I mean, it really is. There's a lot of hope with the Johnson and Johnson vaccination going out. The, the one thing that I'll caution on that is just remember it's a single dose vaccination and it's only 60% effective. ‸ 60%. So, you know, there it's really hard to predict. I mean, it really is.
And, and just to add to that too, because I think I understand where you're coming from is that our plan is to push off reserving and, and making final plans for these pods until the very last minute possible. So we're going to try to push off till about, you know,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:56:17–01:56:17 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
May or June before we start reserving the pods, just in case we do get to a point where we feel comfortable enough to, to lift that. But this is our safety plan. And so it's something that we can lift if needed, but I agree. I don't, I just, I don't think that we're going to get to that point.
we won't see that until probably closer to the end of the week. Cause you got to give the incubation time period and all. So you've got to give it at least 10 days before you'll see that. And, and quite honestly in the medical field, we call that a super spreader event.

and they're, they're holding events, but they're doing a lot of what Samantha's showing here. They're still using social distancing. They're still limiting access. They're doing a lot more control over it. So I think, you know, really with a plan done in this aspect, there's certainly the potential to lower the risk to the community, to the citizens and also to the city. And that's where we want to be at. We're trying to do the best that we can to minimize that risk, but put us back in business to try to get back to some normalcy.

I want you to, you, the council to consider carefully, um, your approval of this, you know, um, when, when you look on the screen there, I, I like those because those are sort of self-contained units there, but what Samantha is referring to when she says pods are going to be barricades that we're going to, we're going to configure into squares.

would be great to have it tonight because we ‸ can begin planning. Um, it's going to take some time. This is a very large event that requires time to plan.

And he gave a, a note of congratulations or a complimentary, um, note to staff, just, um, talking about, uh, how well he's worked with them in regards to actually, this is a fire inspection or fire review. And so, um, you know, it's kind of ironic that, um, you know, we do, and I say this all the time, uh, we're in the customer service business. And as a city government, we have thousands of transactions each day and probably 99% of those go perfectly. And you say, well, how can we have thousands of transactions? Well, every time you flush the toilet, that's a ‸ transaction. Every time you, uh, encounter, um,
a little taken aback when, um, citizens personalize the transactions because, um, um, they're simply doing their jobs and they're trying to enforce what you have on the books and what the state has on the books. And so again, this just simply highlights that at least this individual in this particular transaction had a good transaction. And so I wanted to highlight that for the, for the council. And I think that's it for me, Mr. Mayor.

I'd just like to start off by saying, I was going to start at, good job on the permitting new rollout. A lot of people in my neighborhood ‸ doing upgrades or planning upgrades to their homes, and they're real excited about that. So ‸ great job on that. Also, we had one of the mayor challenges walks this past week at Bracco Pond, and that was really nice to interact with the citizens out there. One thing that everyone was talking about how difficult it was to actually find a pond, because
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 02:12:11–02:12:14 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
address. So I don't know if somehow we can look into, I don't know, dedicating an address for that, or I don't know if you have to go through Google or something like that. It was just really difficult, they said, to find it. And it's people that live in my neighborhood, which is literally a walk to the pond. They don't even know it exists.
and I just want to highlight that area as much as we can. Secondly, I want to thank Brian and Public Works for trying to address some of the traffic issues we're having in my district. I saw the striking that was put down, and I know that issue is very complex, and trying to control some of the speeders and people running stop signs. And I thank you guys for your steady work in the
