Well, it was presented to me that we just table this or amend the agenda, just wait till the next week. So ‸ I did not read it. I did not make any decisions on it. So that's the reason why I'm asking that we just bring it back in the first meeting in February. I think it's February the 7th. So I'm asking...

[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:12:09–00:12:13 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
on the status of the city's investments. The city invests excess funds, um, for different purposes. There are several different accounts, um, in which there is money invested. Some of them are restricted, uh, for different purposes. Some of them are required reserves, um, that we need to hold due to bond covenants and other, um, restrictive measures. And then there's some excess cash. And so, um, it's the city's policy to take that money and to invest it. However, investing the city's money is unlike, uh, like an individual investor because the most important thing is safety and then liquidity and then yield. So, um, in order to present our, um, annual investment report, I have Mr. John Grady here with our investment advisors, public trust associates. Thank
you, sir.
Thank you, Rebecca. Mayor Blake, members of the council. Good evening. City manager Whitten. Great to see you, sir. Thank you very much for the time tonight to present the annual investment review. ‸ I'm joined by my colleague, Rod Bettini, as well.

Bowman and her team and that allows us to efficiently manage these assets and, as she mentioned, a safety first as the primary investment objective, but certainly, uh, with an effort to increase your earnings on these assets while you hold them. GDP gross domestic product, of course, uh, measures the growth of our economy. And the third quarter reading was 2.3%. And just a couple of highlights. And I know many of you have read a lot of these indicators in the news. GDP slowed down in that third quarter and likely did in the fourth quarter as well as supply chain issues and labor shortages continue to, uh, have a big impact,
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:14:11–00:14:15 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
There continues to be significant consumer demand.
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:14:17–00:14:22 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
to purchase. And that's reflected in one stat. I'll read to you from this is that GDP contribution from consumer expenditures, which we met, we make up around three quarters

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:14:31–00:14:36 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And so as long as we continue to have some supply chain issues and labor shortages, it's going to, it will hamper our economic growth. Although that said, there still continues to be strong demand, uh, across the board.

population are actually working or looking for work. That number is starting to tick up. So that is a good silver lining, uh, to the labor market as well. And we'd be remiss if we didn't mention something we're likely reading a lot about, and that's this great resignation of the millions of us that are quitting our jobs for various reasons. And in fact, that number was
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:15:34–00:15:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And that follows a recent trend of approximately 13 million individuals that quit their job, uh,
[unclear audio — 0:02 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:15:44–00:15:46 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Now, many of these are actually going back to work. They're finding better job opportunities or switching careers, but there are a number of individuals have that have chosen so far not to go back to the workforce. And that may be a change of lifestyle,
a
parental or childcare, certainly the COVID-19 impact on, on folks decisions. So we're in somewhat of a unique scenario with our labor market. Uh, ‸ but we do need us to, we do need individuals to get back to work because we are the primary drivers, of course, of our economy. As we should switch over and talk about inflation, of course, arguably the most, the hottest topic right now, inflation hit 7% as of December. It was the highest year over year growth since January of 1982. Uh, so 40 years ago. Uh, and that inflation, as we know, is being felt across the board, whether it's cars, home prices, gas prices are up 58% year over year, food prices.
[unclear audio — 0:04 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:16:40–00:16:44 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
as well. The federal open market committee is actually meeting today, today and tomorrow. They've started to really acknowledge the amount of inflation that has been in place now.
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:16:52–00:16:55 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
will likely take in a few months, uh, to try to address this and, and bring down some of this inflation. But certainly, uh, we're seeing, uh, some ‸ inflation figures we have not seen in a very long time. Uh, but again, a lot of that is due to the fact that there continues to be demand from the consumer. So just turning over to a couple of slides is when this will tie right into your investment program, this dot plot measures the federal open market committee's, uh, expectations of the overnight investment rate. And what this really ties into is your liquidity funds. And as we know,
[unclear audio — 0:02 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:17:27–00:17:30 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
hard to believe almost two years ago in March of 2020, they brought that rate down to zero where it's been. It's now likely that they'll start to raise that rate here in 2022, hopefully as soon as the March meeting. And I say, hopefully as your investment advisor, because
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:17:45–00:17:48 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And that is a beneficial impact on your investment earnings. So as we stand here today, and you see this by this dark blue line on this chart, the expectation
[unclear audio — 0:04 ▶]
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:17:58–00:18:02 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So what that means is we could potentially see overnight rates go from where they are close to zero right now to up to potentially three quarters or 1%. And again, that would have a nice benefit to your investment earnings. This really just measures the impact of the overnight rates. As we look at this next slide, we can see the yield curve. These are US Treasury rates. Remember the city's primary objective being safety. So most of your portfolio is invested in US Treasuries and other fixed income securities. But as we can see from this chart, we've seen a very significant upward move in interest rates, especially in the last six months.
[unclear audio — 0:04 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:18:36–00:18:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
reinvesting your assets out on the curve. Your maturity structure is five years and in and again, to maintain that safety of principle factor. And generally speaking, most of your assets are invested in that two to three year area for these managed assets.
[unclear audio — 0:04 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:18:55–00:18:59 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
basis points just in the last few months. So we're seeing that steepening of the yield curve. Just one point to note, if we look back to the summer where we started really having inflation start to hit the news and really acknowledging that, we still had very low interest rates.
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:19:13–00:19:18 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
natural and that should be what's occurring as we see inflation numbers pick up. We would expect to see interest rates move. This is a lot of information on this chart. ‸ I wanted to include it in the presentation this evening.
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:19:28–00:19:33 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
such as the ones that the city invests in, what that does is like anything else, it drives up the price and drives down the yield. So whenever we're looking at investments outside of US treasuries in particular agencies or high grade corporate debt, not stocks, just debt. Because of the demand for that is pushing those yields lower and closer to treasuries. And so what we prefer to do is buy those treasuries unless we see a spread in the other yields where you're being paid what we call a relative value.
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:20:00–00:20:04 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
It's just because those yields are very narrow. So I'll pause there if there are any questions or thoughts from the council and then I'll just spend a few moments to review your investment program.
What are the wishes of council?
‸ I'll continue. Thank you, Mayor Blake. The first slide here is just really a highlight of how we approach the investment program. And again, it's through a collaborative effort working closely with Ms. Bowman and her team. But during 2021, we did that transition. We talked about this last year where we shifted to a more actively managed and efficient investment program where you have liquidity assets to meet your very short term needs. And then you have three investment portfolios that are managed primarily between two and five years to provide additional income over time. And these are assets that are identified for longer term capital projects, core reserves, and that sort of thing. So it's a nice balance for you.
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:20:57–00:21:02 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of expenditures. And again, it's really maintaining that efficient approach. This is also focused on the safety of principle. And this multiple duration, again, also helps you in both a rising and a declining interest rate environment.
[unclear audio — 0:03 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 00:21:16–00:21:18 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
‸ this is final bullet point on this slide, that your program is compliant with your investment policy statement as well as with Florida state statute. So it's important to know that you are compliant from an investment program with your policy in the state code. So just quickly on the three portfolios. The first one we'll talk about is your operating portfolio. It represents about 45% of the managed assets. The target duration for this portfolio is just around 2.6 years. And again, by design, and as we can see from the chart here on the bottom right hand side, primarily invested between one and five years, about 58% between one and three years and a little
part
of the assets invested between

years again to find that balance and hopefully increase the yield over time. Well diversified, but primarily invested 59% in US treasuries in this portfolio and the balance in federal agencies. Those are Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, home loan securities. So very highly rated, highly liquid investments. The second portfolio we'll talk about is your reserve portfolio.

This also has around a two and a half year, 2.6 year duration. So similar to your operating funds. Again, each of these portfolios is managed independently and based on the timing and expectation of the needs of the assets in these individual portfolios. In this particular portfolio, right around 57% in treasuries and then around 42% or so in agencies.
So
again, similar makeup and fixed income assets be primarily between treasuries and agencies.

And then the last individual portfolio, of course, is your restricted portfolio. Smaller of the three, about 20% of your managed assets in this portfolio. In addition, this one's slightly different. It's a short, a little bit less of a duration strategy, around 2.1 years. And this is, of course, by design. This portfolio maintains some assets that are designated for capital improvement projects over the next few years. So we keep that duration a little bit shorter since these assets are designated, again, for a little bit more near term.

I just have one question. I know the market has been very volatile the last couple of months. So this was $134 million was our portfolio at the end of September. Has that pretty much followed, what is it, a 20% decline that I've heard about?
Okay, so that's a great question.

Since that time, you've actually received a majority of your ad valorem revenues. The good news is, and this is by design for your investment program, other than your cash investments, all of your other investments are fixed income. So regardless of the volatility of the market, the good news is if you wanted to hold any of your securities to maturity,

Okay, because, I mean, the one on the 28th was not sent to the commission by Ms. Riggs. It was sent by the city manager to the commission. So just to clarify, because I think it's important, when volunteer leaders contribute their time, and their intellect to an endeavor, and, I mean, of course,

my appointee, I think it's really important that allegations, any allegations, would be cleared up clearly. And I thank you for getting up and making the statement.
Absolutely. I reviewed those emails. One of those emails did come from Vice Chair of the commission, and that was sent to the other commissioners. However, there was no discussion that transpired as a result of it, and so that's why it wasn't a Sunshine Law violation. Had discussion transpired and had we responded, a Sunshine Law violation could have occurred, but it didn't.

Yes, toothpaste. In the hope that it will give everyone in this room a better understanding of the negative consequences of our fluoridation program. Both of these toothpastes are labeled children's toothpastes. Both are strawberry flavored and both are made by a company called Tom's of Maine.

First, this one has fluoride and this one is fluoride free. Second, the tube with fluoride has a warning label. The tube without fluoride has no warning label. Allow me to read the warning label. Keep out of the reach of children under six years of age. If more than used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or dial the poison control center. Then it goes on to say, on the warning label, right on the product, do not give this fluoride toothpaste to children under the age of two because it has fluoride. So my question is, do we issue the same warning

juices so it tastes sweet. And at the same time, they're saying, don't give this to children under two, but you can give it to children two years and older. ‸ It's a little bit on the verge of insanity. We have a toothpaste that has a poison in it, and we sweeten it with strawberry flavor, and we tell children not to eat it or not to ingest it. And the idea that you have a two-year-old who can control ‸ their ingestion is a little absurd. But thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Thank you very much. Councilwoman Koss.
Yes. Mr. Nyland, thank you for coming here and offering us this perspective. But I wanted to respond to you because, of course, you know I worked in the water sector for many years, and I'm familiar with the research on both sides of the fluoride issue. I'm also familiar with the ‸ Swedish studies, and I'm particularly sensitive because, of course, it shows that fluoride has a particularly negative effect on women of my age range in terms of bone density ‸ and that sort of thing. My issue is I would rather drink water without fluoride, but sitting on this console, our utility actually, we represent, and

And I just wanted you to know that I'm sympathetic, but I just don't feel, as a COCO councilwoman, that I would have the right to bring a motion forward to, you know, take or put fluoride into our water supply, given that we serve an entire region.

Rule number one, citizens come first. Rule number two, refer to rule number one. Correct. District meetings facilitate Mayor Blake's number one rule. District 3 residents have expressed concerns and ideas for our future on social media, both in the COCO CARES Facebook group and the Nextdoor app. After more than 25 years at my current residence, I have seen a lot of change, and I understand the hopes being expressed. ‸ We plan to follow the example set by District 4 and use the SWOT, Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats format, to compile a list of priorities, which we will share with our council representative and post on social media. This format is different from the town hall meetings and provides another opportunity for citizen engagement and a great way to kick off 2022.

president. As
senior class officers, we are in charge of making sure that senior class has a memorable and impactful last year of high school. Part of this responsibility includes raising funds for senior class events, such as graduation, prom, and grad bash. We have been working hard to raise funds within our school and community for these events. For example, we have volunteered to sell concessions at sporting events and have received portion of the proceeds. We have sold candy grams to middle and high school students.

to host a senior-only brunch as an additional fundraiser. Additionally, we are working with administration to be able to sell concessions before and after school hours in our courtyards. Many of our students and their families do not have extra funds to support our school-based fundraisers because of the pandemic. We also have reached out to local businesses but have not had much success, as many ‸ businesses have also felt the financial impacts of the pandemic.
We have not had a normal school experience since ninth grade in 2019. Midway through our sophomore year, we transitioned to online learning

sorry. Sorry, my bad. Fundraising opportunities were also not exist as many students were still learning from their homes. As a result, the senior class has been robbed of traditional high school experience. ‸ As senior year officers, we wanted to be able to provide the experience for our class. Excluding the cost of prom, the cost of the graduation ceremony alone is $5,000. This includes the cost of stage, chair, rentals, sound system, and diploma, diploma commas, and tassels.

of not being able to host these events at a low cost for students. Even with our planned fundraisers, we do not feel that we are able to reach the goal alone.
We are here today to seek a donation of $4,000 from the great city of Cocoa to help Cocoa High School 2022 graduates. If we have funds left,
though, we
can use that to lower the cost of other events, such as prom and grad bash.

sir. Yes. I first met these students at the economic brunch we had back a week or so ago, and I was very impressed. We did a mock, I guess we allowed the students to come forward if they were to counsel, how would they run the city. And some of the ideas that they had, it was impressive. It was very impressive. And these girls and guys are the future of Cocoa, future of the U.S. And I'm very impressed with you all. I'm impressed that you had the courage to come up here and ‸ present your case.

None was received. The document

If anyone in the city disagrees with any of my statements, I welcome an individual reach out to correct them. My phone number is on the card. You all have my email address. The second item I'd like to talk about is the strategic plan. The city's strategic plan was referenced in the last meeting when Mr. Whitten made a suggestion to pursue year-to-year goals rather than a five-year plan, as we currently have. Since the meeting, I have taken it upon myself to familiarize myself with the plan. There's a lot to appreciate. Here's a plan so that we can see a reference.

I would welcome a forum to review the 2016 to 2021 plan to get us all on the same page and to hear the staff comments about the same.

All
right. I was not at the last city council meeting, but I was at home listening to it as I worked in my office. So when I thought I heard the city manager suggest that perhaps Coco doesn't need a five-year strategic plan, I thought I must have heard it wrong. While multitasking, perhaps I'd tuned out just long enough to totally misconstrue what was actually said. But no, I listened to that section of the meeting again today, and

plan. And the justification appears to be that there are other cities that don't have one. I'm dumbfounded by this. As individuals from the time we're kids, we're taught, with good reason, to plan ahead, To form rudimentary strategic plans for how to use our allowance money to get things ‸ we want, then how to get our first car, how to pay for college, buy a house, save money for the kids' education, plan for retirement. The idea that an entire city might consider operating on the basis of simply setting goals for the year and trying to meet those goals and objectives for the year strikes me as incredibly irresponsible.

Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:01:47–01:01:47 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the meeting of the police community relations. Advisory committee requiring the meetings occur every other month. Mr. City manager your name is beside this sir. And I would like to hear from the chief of police.
Yes sir. Mr. Mayor, ‸ you all directed us to come back to amend the meeting section of the resolution. And currently the meeting section of the resolution just simply states that ‸ the committee shall meet at least quarterly per city fiscal year. And so that is the strike through and underline is that that would be changed per the request. That will be changed to read the committee shall meet every other month during a calendar year.

In our meetings we've had several meetings that took way longer than they should have taken due to the fact that when these complaints build up quarterly there have been times when we've had 10 to 15 different matters that needed to be discussed and it took a much longer amount of time than needed to take and so having our meetings more often would give us the opportunity to be more efficient in our timing.

more ripe for discussion and so when certain issues may happen delaying it quarterly gives us less opportunity to discuss it when the matter is closer to its resolution and more ripe for discussion. ‸ Thank you for the opportunity.

so I I'm asking for the wishes of the council to allow the clerk to send an email to every single member requesting or asking ‸ if they have the time to be on this board moving forward because some people may have
missed
‸ things happen in different people's lives so if we can do that and maybe for all the boards that have multiple absences or quorum issues we send out emails to all members on all boards just to see if they're still interested in the board so then if not then we can make new appointments for those boards ‸ so I'd like to thank Alton for bringing that forward to us as the committee chair and also I know we talked about also ‸ moving the committee around some as well the location being in city hall we did it with diamond square as well

Alton to
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:08:29–01:08:30 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the at large person on the committee and I would actually like to make a motion now to make Mr. Alton the at large member if you look at the structure of the committee his position and where he served his capacity that he serves now ‸ would make sense to make him that person so
help help me understand something at large what do you mean by at large
so

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:09:03–01:09:04 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
it just made sense to me ‸ each member of the committee serve at the pleasure of the council member or ‸ mayor that has nominated them and they serve along with their term the at large member serves for a term that does not mirror or parallel a particular council member or mayor so that person would remain on the council or the committee until they are voted off or until their term expires
and just looking at his attendance record and with him being a chair it just makes sense to me that we move him to the at large member

give me a point of clarification on this please sir
certainly under the resolution that's in the agenda resolution 2018-097 it says that each council member shall have one appointment and ‸ the benevolent association shall have one appointment so that makes six appointments in addition there's a provision in the resolution I'm trying to find the language that allows the city council to appoint one at large member and in the context in which at large is used in the resolution means that any council member can nominate somebody to fill this at large seat that's not connected to a council seat and they can be appointed at large only if the city council by majority vote votes to approve that person to serve in the at large position so ‸ is there a
vacant
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:11:34–01:11:34 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
I don't know if there's a vacancy right now in the at large who appointed Alton
I
don't know who's serving in the at large
because
my interpretation and my assessment traditional when we say at large means the mayor appoints someone at large but we're just saying the person generally speak I just need the point of clarification at large
council
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:12:04–01:12:05 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
council by majority vote in this ‸ context makes the one at large appointment
okay and then my only other question that I would ask has anyone talked to

email proper communication to some of the members on the advisory board so we fixed that we got updated information where I have my commander who oversees this process making sure that he's sending ‸ correspondences to all board members so with that being said we did have another meeting and we did not have a quorum so we've had in the three that since I've been here we did not have a quorum so having more meetings I mean it's a toss up I don't mind trying anything once I don't mind that at all and we'll see how it works but I can tell you as we move forward we're going to ‸ have fewer complaints that we will have to review
because
we've gotten better since I've been here

so whatever the council wishes are we're moving forward full head of steam okay

of the code which is the city's uniform board ordinance which gives the city to the city council the ability to remove board members with or without cause. so that's why I asked the question whether or not there was a vacancy in the at-large position. Apparently, there is not. so the council would have to create the vacancy by removing the person that's currently serving in the at-large position, which

Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 01:16:19–01:16:21 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And then the council can move Mr. Edmonds to the at-large position by appointment by majority vote at which point that would create another vacancy because he would lose his he would he would lose his seat position And then the council member seat that he's serving under that council member would have the ability to nominate somebody to serve in the the council member seat position okay
Thank you for the point of clarification okay um Let me say it this way. in all fairness I mean I don't have a problem but I'd rather ‸ for the current or potentially maybe former at-large person at
least
be made aware
of
this just out of as we say and out of you know being decent and in order I'm coming I got you decent and in order just to do that so then he'll know. um I think in all fairness I do want to prove if the wishes of council going from four to six definitely address that but the at-large person just out of respect um

And the the discretion pursuant to the charter that the council has um is is more limited than you know the discretion that you usually have. um the you know the The way the charter reads um is that the council needs to approve um the ordinance unless there's some sort of um you know legal issue um or defect with respect to the recommendation that that's been made by the

Where
the councilman literally, well, it was our impression and I was there first time at a town hall meeting along with, uh, four of my other neighbors. And that councilman bullied, I would say, um, a woman who was speaking up at that meeting. That left a very bad impression. And,
[unclear audio — 0:05 ▶]
Flag: a language review questioned the wording · 01:54:52–01:54:57 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the people, they still talk about it. So it leaves a long lasting impression. And so, you know, any kind of, um, dismissive or disparagement from this dais or from us as council people really discourage public participation. Um,
and
I don't think we want to do that. I think that Coco is a better place, um, with as much participation as possible. Um, and then another example was later on, uh, neighbors that came forward to
