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.
400 suspect passage(s) marked in place; 1 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 25 voices separated from the audio.
36 short machine repair(s) (40 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, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 93.6% of 17,609 content words.
Dotted words (410 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
400 passages (21% 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.
Voice detected, no words recognized (1 stretch). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
02:05:33 (2 s) — neither reading has words
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.
Thank you. Invocation, eternal God, we thank you for another day. We thank you for allowing us another opportunity to be here today. And we ask that you lead us and guide us along our way here tonight. And may all things done here be done decently ‸ in order and according to your will and pleasure. We ask for a special blessing of the United States of America and all of its leadership. We ask

Okay. Okay. Thanks. I came into this chambers, and we had a little exchange, but we got together a month later in the community, and we brought 72 people together. Since then, we've actually formed the Broadmoor Acres Community Restoration and Preservation Inc., which is a 501c3 nonprofit.

what it used to be, and to hear people talking about kids playing with each other, neighbors talking to each other. That's definitely what we need this community to become again. The idea is to focus primarily on this community and then reach out to surrounding communities as we move forward. ‸ We live in an area that has resources that I don't see people taking full advantage of, such as partnerships with NASA and robotics. We've got SpaceX now. I mean, these are things, these companies look for young people to train and to get interested in what they're doing because they can mold them. We definitely have enough kids just in that neighborhood, not

It does have a house on it that is occupied. 1057 Mitchell, 408 North Kentucky, 300 North Bar, 1102 Broadmoor, and 1115 Broadmoor. We currently have agreements with the owner of 1049 Broadmoor Drive, and

The following properties were taken off of the city demo list under our direct involvement or indirect involvement. 507 North Georgia, 513 North Carolina. You're going to see what they looked like before and what they look like now. 311 North Kentucky was a property that sat vacant for a couple of years that was in foreclosure that I kind of snooped around and
used to be Mr. John Taylor's property. Again, we found private funding to purchase that property. You'll see pictures of it today. That property currently is being owned and occupied by its new owner with a privately funded mortgage. This is what 507 North Georgia looked like from the front and the Pineda side in early 2015.
in. Well, it was. It was a pain in the city's butt. The realtor, the bank, Regents Bank, just was not cooperating with the city. Through an agreement with the city to remove it from the demo list, we purchased it. I didn't have the money to do what I wanted to do with it, but I did see to it that it was purchased. And there's the back. You see what it looks like. This is what it looks like today. This property has been brought up to current building code, 100% of the property. Plumbing, electrical, heating and air, doors, everything. It's now a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home that the property appraisers office might want to up its valuation a little bit ‸ for tax purposes.
another property that was purchased by local investors in tax deed sales and left to sit. The city, again, had failed to get any cooperation. And you see the note on the door. It was scheduled to go for demo in April of 2016. This is what the property looks like today, and it's currently owned by Eric and Juana Morales, and it's paid for in full. 1059 Belafonte was being used as a rental property by the owners of Extreme Motors. That property was being used and rented to people who did nothing but sell prescription pills. There was a woodshed in the back that actually housed a couple and two dogs with no plumbing. This is what it looked like. Through private funding with Colonel Harvey, who was our board chairman, and this was prior

we purchased the property. The property is under a private mortgage. The picture on the right to my right is current. In fact, it was taken this morning.
before they broke up the lawn to plant the new palms. It has a brand-new roof on it. It's completely up to code. The kitchen was redone by me, and I restored and preserved all of the original 1950 wood cabinets that were in the kitchen. This is 1112 Broadmoor today. It's still a pain in the butt
had been coming to me for almost nine months complaining about rats. I thought she was exaggerating until this came into our possession. This is what it looked like in the back. The interior of the house was a lot worse. This is a picture taken this morning of the front.
can assure you the backyard is completely cleared. All of those unpermitted sheds have been removed, including the gazebo that was up against the house roof. 1103 Broadmoor is currently owned and occupied by a family of four through a private-funded mortgage. This is what 1115 Broadmoor Drive looked like when we acquired it.
I think a lot of you, Don, Mayor, John, this is a lot that butts up against School Street that was being used for illegal dumping and scrapping and parking of cars. That's what it looked like then.
Myself and Brandon Jones worked together and cleaned that entire lot. This is a picture of today. This is 1057 Mitchell Street, right down the street from my house. This is what it looked like.
pepper trees that were going across the back and on both sides that was being used for people to burglarize the houses on the left and the houses behind. I'm a firm believer we're not going to give anybody the cover to break into somebody's house in this neighborhood.

Our indirect involvement in this property, and believe me, this is nice compared to what it was, was the fact that I pissed off the previous owner after her sister died. So, because I pissed her off so much, she chose not to accept our offer and sold it for $10,000 less. ‸ But the people who bought it were friends. It's been completely renovated. Brand new roof. It just makes the community a better looking place.
current tenants in it. With the help of Bob Harvey, we purchased this property out from under them, and rather than renting it to the single father of four, the single father of four owns that property now.
got from Mr. Breezy, accusing the Cocoa Police Department of allowing people to destroy his house. The picture on my left is shortly after we took possession and I put up the LED lights that we put up in the neighborhood, because I wanted it lit up. Picture on the right, the house has been completely repainted, the interior has been completely redone. I am currently working on finding private funding to actually put an owner-occupied tenant in it. Until that time, the person who put up the money wants something coming in, so it's currently a rental. Part of our light up the night, this was something that we did more than two years ago. These are pictures of houses in the neighborhood ‸ that we've put the LED lights up on people's homes free of charge. You'll remember, I think it was back in 2015, or early 2016, when we held the collectible and art sales at the Civic Center to raise money.
These are the lights. This is what Broadmoor Acres looks like at night in most parts. We still have sections that people are not turning their lights on or won't install them. But I'm working on that. But it does make a difference. The plan for us is to move forward and

larger front porches on them, moving people from the backyard to the front yard. If your neighbors are out front, they see you, you talk to each other, you know what's going on, you are able to keep things from going south real quick. Currently, we have two fundraising projects that are beginning. On the 1st of March, we will be

to making sure it is mechanically sound and safe. I will be hiring contractors to finish my house as early as ‸ this coming Monday. Once my house is finished and the permit is closed, my house will be raffled off to raise money to build the first home in Broadmoor Acres in 63 years. I'm not leaving, so everybody that heard me say

The more we improve this neighborhood, the higher the valuation rates honestly will go based on actual value and will increase the tax base in a neighborhood that the city hasn't collected a whole lot of tax revenue from for years. All right. Community service is currently costing the city and other agencies money. Look, if we build a home and we hold the mortgage on that home and we make that mortgage payment something that you know you're not going to have to choose between feeding your kid or making your house payment, but rather than that mortgage payment going to some investor or a bank, it goes directly into funding.
It goes directly into funding community services right there in the neighborhood. Daycare that can be just behind your house for single parents who need to work, want to work, but don't have someplace safe to leave their kid while they're working. It's kind of nice to know you could have that right behind your backyard. You don't have to drive 10 miles to get to it.

have been reduced. I believe the chief will support me on that one. I can tell you the city has not paid a penny in lawn abatements or cleanup fees on any of these lots.
That's what I just covered, so we're good there. The idea, guys, is that we build a community that actually has the ability to continue to support itself for decades to come. And this way it can. If you contribute to BackRap, you help BackRap, you're not giving a dollar today for us to come and ask you for $10 next week. The good thing about building and holding the mortgages is every penny that goes into this neighborhood stays into this neighborhood. And as we build, every new house built, we'll start doing the improvements as far as sidewalks and whatever we need to do to make this community whole. Any questions? Yes.

from what you're doing. And I know you're ‸ expanding out to other streets and lots. And let me tell you something. If you want to say a couple words on your latest cleanup, that was
same owner. And these are properties that have a history of having problems with the city. I'm a believer that if I'm going to take control of something, then I'm going to do what needs to be done. Peachtree and Prospect, hopefully by the end of this week, will be completely cleared of all trees except for, and I want to make this clear so that people don't come back and try to nail me later. All oak trees on this property have been saved. They have been trimmed and the umbrellas raised. However, not a single one of them has ‸ been removed from this property. That being said, all the pepper trees,
the dead palm trees, the ridiculous bunches of palm trees that tend to make a huge glob of garbage are gone and will be gone. The triplex on the property will be tented, hopefully as early as next week. Once that is completed, the entire electrical on that complex will ‸ be permitted and redone with new meter cans up to current code. I am in the process of getting with noble engineering to move forward with actually having the property connected to city sewer. So the property hasn't been paying the city, you know, even sewer fees, which. That's
But it will be because there's just no, there's no reason for that property to be on septic. There's no reason for that property to be left to, to the,

the Sister City Program. Uh, for those of you who don't know, Coco does have a sister city in Israel. And the goal, the mission of our program, of course, is to foster positive relations between the two cities and between the two nations. And we do that through a variety of educational, cultural, and artistic events.
very excited about and to invite you and everybody else in the room, of course. And, um, uh, what we're trying to do with Sister City is to position ourselves as an alternative or additional art, um, or theatrical art provider in our community. Uh, we do have some great

theater or venue-specific theater. Venue-specific theater is when you do theater without a theater. And, uh, that's kind of a new thing in the theater world. And that's what we're going into. It's also called immersive theater because there's no stage. That means the audience, uh, is right with all the actors. So, um, think of it, for instance, where would be a good place to do a space show? Maybe at a space museum. So, keeping in mind our mission, though, we're doing an original play about Passover, okay, in light of our Sister City in Israel. And we're doing it in a space that many of you probably don't even know exists here in the city of

the corner of Peachtree and Forest is a Jewish learning center. That's where we're going to have our original play. We have hired professional actors and musical artists to perform in this play. So it'll be a complete and immersive experience about the story of Passover, particularly from the eyes of the people who experienced it. Uh, if you know the story, think about the guy, when all the plagues are happening, think about the guy who has to clean up all the dead frogs and the dead fish after the plagues. He's going to tell us what that was like. So, uh, it's going to be from a unique experience. But once again, like I said,

to partner with us. Brevard County gave us $303,000, I'm sorry, $303,919, and Palm Bay gave us $49,900. The total project costs were over $625,000. So, with Brevard County and Palm Bay's assistance, they funded over 56% of the project. So, I would be remiss without thanking Brevard County and Palm Bay for their support on the homes. The fourth home sold in September of 2017, and the final eighth home should be selling this month. I wanted to note that in 2015, when the first four homes sold, they appraised at $72,000. These four now have appraised at $127,000. So, within the Diamond Square redevelopment area, we've seen a $55,000 increase in the same homes. These homes are actually 200 square feet smaller than the first four. So, we're definitely seeing an increase ‸ in the redevelopment ‸ of our redevelopment area. Lastly, totally,
Community Development Block Grant, Home Investment Partnership, and our State Housing Initiative Partnership Program. Also, within our Housing Division, we oversee the Hardest Hit Program, which is a state-funded program. We were able to assist 19 persons with the Hardest Hit Funds, and three people with our Principal Reduction Program. One of our clients that was in the Hardest Hit Program, she was laid off in February 2017. Her husband was diagnosed with cancer in March, and he passed away in May.

So, yeah, this is my second full week as the CEO of Aging Matters. I am incredibly excited for the opportunity. I have spent the last 20 years working in senior care. And, I just felt a calling to come to work for Aging Matters just because of the vision that the organization has for seniors in this community. Great. And, I will be spending a lot of time going all over the county and spending time meeting with you and with the other constituencies.

So, many of our seniors live alone, don't see anybody, but they know somebody's going to come and give them some food. Just check on them, put eyes on them, make sure they're doing okay. Okay.

Currently, the sign code restricts the LED wall sign to 32 total square feet in area.

that at large system. And they claimed that their voting rights were diluted under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. So they brought this lawsuit against the city.

And
the federal district court could approve that uh settlement agreement. um We had some other residents of the city opposed based on a voting conflict uh argument that that that argument failed. In addition, we had a city council that, um a new city council decide uh that they wanted to withdraw its consent for the consent decree um before the federal district court could approve it. um However, the court determined that the council at that time could not um rescind itsits agreement.

That study has been, I would say, finalized. There were just a few minor corrections that needed to be made, but it's substantively complete and ready to be closed out. So, we had bought this item last year, and as a reminder, this item looked at existing demand for parking in the downtown area as well as current supply. And this was an update of a previous parking study that had been done several years prior. This came out of a previous
to look at parking to see what the demand was and whether or not a structure would needed to be created. And so, ‸ the results of the study indicated that indeed there was a parking deficit and that thinking about areas within a quarter mile within downtown, that the former City Hall site would be the best location for a parking garage. And so, since then, we have reissued RFP for the former 603 Brevard Avenue,

So, there was about 400 surface, 400 spaces, plus, ‸ minus, minus, that was identified over the five and ten year period. And with 150 spaces, you know, the conversation was, you know, when you look at the cost, do you try to partner with private provider? That

that the Bank of America probably is the, is the biggest, you know, piece of property that has the greatest potential for, you know, a sizable parking structure, you're looking probably much more, a smaller one at the, the potential former City Hall site.

Keep in mind, every piece of development that happens in the city, and in downtown, ‸ generally has to provide for their own parking. And one of the reasons why the city in the area that has a deficit has experienced a larger deficit is because smaller, less intense uses, offices were converted to higher intense uses, like high turnover restaurant, which, you know, I mean, the old childcare center, the administrative headquarters are now

during the day there's not, but there's actually a number of vehicles that are in there that are city-owned property, and then stored. So, I mean, the city is complying with the ordinance that it require or provide for its own parking, so it's not adding to the deficit.
So I just want to clear that up. So I know it was a suggestion, like, well, let's open that up and just let everybody park there, but there is other issues at play there.

I mean, ‸ the parking garage was a product of the CRA. So the question is, you know, if there was a structure built, is it a joint partnership between the city, the CRA? What's the CRA's financial capacity, whether it be through pay as you go, which we already know, we can tell you with certainty that there's no way that you could do that. They don't have the revenues. ‸ Just look at last year where they had to put off Harrison Street, which was probably, I

Okay, I just don't want any more delays.

I've got a problem with that. If there's a problem with going forward with the proposed date or month that we're supposed to get started on that street, then individual board members should be informed as well as liaison, which is me. And I had no knowledge. But we got the
bids in and we're trying to come up with, have all the information to provide to you and the board members, such as the potential alternates, before we could do that, rather than just say, no, the contractor has informed us that they will hold those prices.

So we've really worked to push that down. We also looked at the crime index. And, again, crime rate and crime index are two separate things. The
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:33:05–01:33:08 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And basically, the crime index is a difference in the number of crimes reported between two years. This one being 2016 and 2017. And in 2017, we reported 404
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:33:27–01:33:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
reported violent crimes. This includes no homicides in 2017. Now, just so everybody understands that, in 2016, we had an incident where ‸ a gentleman was shot. He did pass away in 2017. Based on the way we're required to submit and report UCR, that will show up in 2017 as a homicide. But that homicide actually occurred in 2016. ‸ So for the year 2017, there were no homicides. The data shows a reduction in nearly all our reported crimes. 40.9% fewer assaults. 32.9% fewer robberies. 32.4% fewer burglaries. 14.8% fewer larcenies, which are thefts. And domestic violence-related crimes were also down 18.5%. Our data also showed a 21.2%
index crimes reported. Again, the clearance rate is the number of cases solved by arrest or other resolution. And our actual clearance rate for 2017 is 28.9%. When we sat back and looked at this and said, you know, what are some of the reasons that ‸ helped us with this, some of the reasons we came up with were community involvement, outreach and community education, the dedication and hard work from the members of your police department, and also
on Saturday. We had a good turnout. And we appreciate everybody coming out. We're looking at the fire station 2 and 3 being substantially complete in mid-April. So we'll probably

I just want to provide some information. ‸ Last night's waterfront meeting, some residents were concerned with regard to the funding for that concept plan that was presented. ‸ Just so ‸ it's known or out there, we did a complete estimate on the damage that occurred to those waterfront amenities. We

so considering what we had, we could go and build that back and look at, you know, 100% reimbursement if FEMA comes through on their end for those waterfront amenities. Now, as we had discussed with the
we don't believe it to be prudent to build it back exactly the way it was and possibly be in the same situation a year from now or a few years from now. And so part of that concept plan last night does contemplate some resiliency efforts to ensure that those structures and the continued use of the waterfront is available for the public after the next hurricane. So ‸ just kind of want to state that because I know the consultant was pretty busy with all the comments last night as well. All right.
Matt, there's sorry to say this. There's no reason to believe that we won't have another hurricane this year. I mean, that's just kind of the way it feels two years in a row. And I like the comments last night about a lot of the boardwalk being fixed on the bulkhead. I mean, chances are we're going to get hit again at some point. I don't know. Okay.

to proceed. That's great on that ground. That's a lot of money. Oh, anything else? Nothing else. I got a question. Have you heard anything about the boat removal of those two boats?
We actually reached out to FWC regarding those two vessels that are, you know, still ashore along private land just south of Riverfront Park. And, you know, those had current cases or cases pending at the time of the hurricane. And
them in their current state. And so I did notice one of the private residences there did build their dock back over the top of the boat. And so the I believe they anticipate it being there for some time yet.

Thank you. And

‸ Yes. DOT will be moving to the next phase. They did a corridor study. And the next step is ‸ PD&E study. It seems like there's 25 studies for every project. DOT will be interviewing consultants to take it to the next step. In fact, there was a consultant that was interested in putting in for the project that came and talked to us. Good. So that's going to be coming out. She said it should be advertised for other consultants to compete. You know, it should be coming out soon.
I mean, there is other businesses looking, you know, to go in that corridor in that area. I know this is just the beginning, but I hope they move on it.

With the Army Corps of Engineers shoring up the structure, given the cost, and the cost already incurred in response to the hurricane, Jack and I have discussed it, and we don't think this time it's prudent to bury it. I mean, we do have, I think, you know, we're

So, ‸ but, so, with them shoring that up and there would be, at this point in time, it would not be prudent, you know, with the other projects that are out there that need to be done to do that project. Okay.
the trucks are out there, my gosh, you guys have done a great job, you know, in the size of the station. And I was asking the older, you know, the older guys, you know, and I think they got used to it pretty quick. You know, it's a beautiful place. Great place to work. That's what we want. With the best people, the best stations, you know, the best city. So, and another thing is the waterfront meeting, Karen, the only thing I'll add, moderator, you know, he does a lot of talking. And John and I sit over there and there's a lot of cost to what he was saying, ‸ the things I didn't think about, you know, I hope the citizens realize what we have out here. This is something special. And a lot of communities could only dream to have the basin in their downtown connected to the water, you know.
immediately, like the day docking, the boardwalk, you know, maybe a mooring field in two, three years, two years, you know, those things are critical, I think, to moving this stuff along down the road. You know,

Civic Center, moving it out to Lee Winter. ‸ I don't have a feeling either way. I just know that we're down the last few years with the usefulness of the building, because we're going to have to dump a lot of cash in it for a roof and ACs and a lot of other things. And it's so dysfunctional, we're just used to walking in and seeing it.

I was just going to say probably the, you know, a lot of the projects that were identified last night, I think one of the things that the consultant did kind of remind us and something that the idea consultant had said at the CRA meeting, you know, start your five year plan now because it's going to take you two years of permitting. Probably the one project that doesn't
And, and so it just, it was kind of, and I know he said he was like, well that's a longer term project, but that's like, that's a project that you could get together and start as the catalyst while you're applying, getting the permits, getting, ‸ trying to get grant funding for the other projects.

You know, the crime, the crime situation. Uh, and we inherited this for many decades of poor management. We had a lot of great people through the decades, but they never had enough of them in here to, to, to make any sense to be able to, to help the situation. So, you know, put it to you quickly is our philosophy five years ago, at least five and

Um, and you know, and then John and you and all of us talked about soft policing and all the things we've got to do to achieve that. Um, I, I can't
