Improvements at the North Indian River Drive and Dixon Boulevard Intersection.
(2026-471). (City Manager/Public Works Director)
Mayor Blake introduced the item, adding this was at the request of Councilmember
Koss at a previous meeting.
Ms. Morgan presented the item via a presentation 2. She provided a detailed
explanation as to the analysis performed of the problems at Dixon and Indian River
Drive. The flooding issues are due to several sources, namely three; ground water
rising, rainfall excess and the river itself. Each influences the flooding separately.
Ms. Morgan shared possible options and the pros and cons of each. Staff
recommended the city engage a specialized engineering firm to perform an
independent study, evaluate alternatives, identify effective solutions and then present

those to council. She added the importance of a long -term solution as this has been
a problem for a long time.
Councilmember Hearn added he agrees and is in favor of an evaluation. He would like
staff to consider creating a public use area there for the public.
Councilmember Koss thanked Ms. Morgan for such a good, informative presentation.
She asked about an area near there where there was work that was done on the
shore. Director Morgan explained it was due to Hurricane damage on the road, and
staff applied for an Emergency Permit through the Army Corps of Engineers.
Councilmember Koss elaborated and shared her thoughts on the areas affected. She
asked about baffle boxes and agreed comprehensive solutions would be needed.
Councilmember Weeks thanked staff and asked if there had ever been a study done
on the area and Ms. Morgan replied no.
Todd Riggs, Indian River Drive , Cocoa, spoke about the flooding, and thanked and
complimented Ms. Morgan on the presentation. He asked council to keep the
homeowners in mind and not favor the developer.
Bill Chatterton, Indian River Drive , Cocoa thanked staff and added additional
information.
Pam Cormer, Indian River Circle, Cocoa, shared that this has been there since 1970
and as a younger person they did not have these flooding problems. She stated it
began after the widening of US 1.
Councilmember Koss asked her to share the story about her backyard.
Ms. Cormer stated that the water was so high that the landscapers would not mow
and her dogs could not go outside.
Mayor Blake asked Ms. Morgan if staff had a firm in mind. Ms. Morgan replied
affirmatively and shared their experience.
Mayor Blake further asked Ms. Morgan about a couple of pictures in her presentation
that showed a standard neoprene duckbill as compared to the newer stainless steel

inline valve. The first was eaten up, clogged with debris and vulnerable to marine
growth.
Deputy Mayor Goins agreed to the need for a long-term solution and asked if the road
would be raised or grading to yards. In response, Ms. Morgan explained that when
the study comes back that will be discussed.
Mayor Blake asked about the length of the project. Ms. Morgan replied from the Dixon/
Indian River Drive intersection, it would go North about 500 feet and South about 1800
feet.
Councilmember Weeks mentioned expanding the road out and Ms. Morgan replied
that would require a submerged land easement and would take many years.
Councilmember Hearn asked about funding for this project. City Manager Whitten
mentioned 4.7 million for baffle boxes at this area and the application could possibly
be refined to address this. He asked Ms. Morgan and Ms. Bowman about a possible
piggyback or would it need a bid process. Ms. Morgan responded there was a
piggyback. At that point it would be a budgetary item to address.

VIII. City Business:
1. Approval of Alternative Language for the Interlocal Agreement with Brevard County
Public Schools to donate to Cocoa High School for Sports Improvements. (2026-492).
(City Manager)
City Manager Whitten introduced the item and reminded Council at the May 19, 2026,
budget meeting staff wanted to bring back language to go to the School Board. The
School Board then came back with a counteroffer. Council was concerned with their
offer stating that it could create liability for the City.
Deputy Mayor Goins stated he spoke with the principal and presented another draft.
He outlined a process for the school and explained that this contract language would
not change the way the school was currently processing these types of events with
non-profits. He stated she seemed content with that, but it would have to go back to
the school board for final approval. Discussion continued among council members
about their concern for liability for the city. However, it was agreed that the proposed
language by Deputy Mayor Goins would go to the school with a sentence added at
the end of section 4.3 of the original draft presented them, that states the school will
provide the city on a quarterly basis the 501 C3’s that used the facility at no charge.
All agreed, however, discussion continued regarding process, and the benefits to the
city. Deputy Mayor Goins stated it puts skin in the game for the school.
The Motion being requested is to allow the City Manager to go back to the table with
the new language.
Additionally, Section 4.3 of the original draft states: School Board Contribution. The
School Board acknowledges that the intent of this Interlocal Agreement is to
cooperatively invest in the Athletic Improvements to the Benefit of Cocoa residents,
businesses and students. As such the School Board intends to share in the cost of
the Athletic Improvements. The School Board will pay the difference between the
City’s Contribution of $150,000 and the tot al cost of the Athletic Improvements. The
School Board will plan, design and manage the project. In addition, the School Board
Agrees to waive its facility rental fees for the use of the Cocoa High School stadium
and track at least four times per calenda r year for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
to utilize such facilities. The facility rental fee waiver shall be offered on a first -come,
first-served basis to non -profit organizations. The School Board may continue to
enforce other requirements as are applicable to all renters pursuant to School Board
policies, such as insurance obligations and security -related requirements, security
deposits, or clean up fees.

The new language being proposed is to add t hat Cocoa High School will send 2
quarterly reports to the City advising them of which 501(c)(3) organizations utilized
their facility.

Ms. Neuterman presented the item, explaining the need for the resolution. She shared
the proposed changes per the HB 803 mandate (attached to Agenda). She added
there should not be a large impact.
Councilmember Weeks asked, for example, if a homeowner built a fence, there would
no longer be a permit? In response, Ms. Neuterman explained in a sense, but there
would be a review by planning.

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, as the City's file, in a new tab.
610 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 28 voices separated from the audio.
53 short machine repair(s) (60 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 93.5% of 24,638 content words.
Dotted words (701 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
610 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.

Florida, my platform is Blood Donation Awareness, which is a cause that is very close to my heart. My goal is to help educate our community about ongoing need for blood donors and the life-saving difference a single donation can make. I am proud to represent the city of Cocoa, and will have the privilege of competing in Mrs. Brevard County next month. I look forward to continuing to promote volunteerism, community involvement, and blood donation awareness throughout Brevard County. Thank you all for your service to our community and for allowing me the opportunity to introduce myself this evening. Would the mayor and council be willing to take a quick photo with me? I would be honored to share it for my Mrs.

And this person doesn't want to pay the property tax anymore. But I went into how important it is that we do continue. So it just so happened this weekend, I was going through some papers

But I just want to be educated and informed. So when I'm out and about and I could give good answer to folks about the property tax and how important it is, because I haven't met a pie that I don't love. So I don't want to not have that piece of pie.

Because I tell you what, from what I just heard prior, we got folks coming into the village and I know some of that property tax money goes towards the village to help provide whatever it is. And ‸ I just love living here. So if anyone wants to share with me a little bit of information that I could have. So when I go talk with folks.

We are ever so thankful to provide this opportunity and the service to those in our community. We are celebrating our 48th year and I have had the pleasure of being with the organization for 23. And so I look at the the growth in our services, but especially the growth in requested services. We are seeing more and more people. We average over 200 clients who have never been to our ‸ facility a month. ‸ new means never been to the sharing center. So these funds are much needed. There is a big issue in regards to hunger. It's based on economical standards. uh Wages not keeping up with the cost of living. People struggling. And so we're there to help. I will tell you, I'm happy to say that

And the underlying uh core commercial zoning permits professional services, medical and dental clinics currently, and retail, but it currently excludes optical services. So, the North American Industry Classification System optical book defines optical goods stores as establishments primarily engaged in the retail sale and fitting of prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses or optician services. Freedom Optical Incorporated is a hybrid of such retail and technical professional services. And the majority of the subject parcels that have a mixed use future land use designation. Core Commercial is an applicable zoning category to this mixed use future land use.

that many of the services and the categories that I provide for are already approved specifically excluding the optical services so I would ask that I'd be reviewed to be accepted with that exclusion and approved within the zone that I'm at

Thank you Mr Mayor. um Mrs Morgan is going to lead us through her presentation again. And these are the staff comments and this is her professional analysis of the issues at hand.
evening. The following presentation will cover a flooding assessment and mitigation strategies for a stretch of Indian River Drive including an evaluation of tidal backflow prevention and flood reduction alternatives.
have experienced flooding along Indian River Drive and access to their homes can become more difficult during severe storm events. There is a desire to reduce those impacts as soon as possible. The challenge is that flooding along Indian River Drive is influenced by several factors occurring at the same time. Before we invest public funds in a specific improvement, we need to understand which actions will provide measurable benefit, which locations should be prioritized, and whether a proposed solution could create unintended consequences elsewhere in the system. The key takeaway is ‸ that water does not recognize property lines, roadway segments, or individual outfalls. It follows the path of least resistance, which is why we need to evaluate the system as a whole. One of the most important observations is that flooding along Indian River Drive is not being driven by a single source. There are three separate forces acting on this area,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:04:33–01:04:34 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Flag: a language review questioned the wording; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:04:35–01:04:40 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
conditions, water levels outside the drainage system increase and can affect how efficiently storm water leaves the system. Each of these factors influence flooding differently. If we focus only on one source,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:05:23–01:05:26 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of the flooding is being driven by river backflow compared to rainfall and groundwater, and which improvements will have the greatest effect on reducing flood impacts.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; the recognizer flagged its own output; a language review questioned the wording · 01:05:50–01:05:52 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
with installing valves at only a portion of the outfalls is that the roadway and the drainage system are interconnected. River water can enter through multiple low elevation outfalls, and if only some are protected, water will continue to seek the lowest available path through the remaining unprotected locations. As a result, a partial valve installation may provide little measurable reduction in roadway flooding. This is why evaluating the entire system is important before determining where valves should be installed and whether they will provide a meaningful benefit. There are also structural improvements that can reduce flood impacts along the river's edge. One example is a concrete gravity wall. A gravity wall raises the elevation of the shoreline edge and creates a physical barrier that helps reduce direct overtopping from the river during elevated water events. Another option is targeted riprap stabilization at identified low points. While riprap is often thought of as an erosion control measure, it can also help protect the road by reducing shoreline scour and preventing undermining of the road bed during storm events. The objective is not to identify a single solution, but to evaluate a toolbox of potential improvements and identify which combination of measures will provide the greatest benefit, where they should be implemented, and what level of flood reduction can reasonably be expected. There are also improvements that can address both stormwater backflow and water quality. One example is a way pro backflow perfect preventer, which is typically installed at a headwall and help helps prevent rising river levels from entering the stormwater system. Another option is an offline baffle box with bioactive media filtration. These systems are designed to remove nutrients and improve water quality before stormwater is discharged to the river. The purpose of highlighting these alternatives is to demonstrate that there are multiple tools available, each with different costs, benefits, and applications. A key component of the study will be determining which combination of improvements is best suited for this corridor. Valves come with different operational and maintenance considerations.

shoreline conditions, and maintenance requirements all influence which technology may be most appropriate. Evaluating those factors is one of the primary objectives of our next step. this slide compares two different approaches to flood mitigation. The first is a localized approach such as installing duckbill valves or making improvements at selected locations. The advantage is lower upfront costs and faster implementation.
may provide limited benefit if the flooding continues through other pathways. The second is a system-wide approach that ‸ evaluates the entire basin and identifies improvements based on the based on how the drainage system functions. While this approach requires more time and investment, it is intended to address flooding from multiple sources and reduce the risk of unintended consequences. The shoreline

and eliminating the ‸ standalone shoreline hardening option. This so this better aligns with addressing flooding as a system-wide issue requiring a holistic evaluation. staffs recommend staff recommends direction from Council to engage

the citizens on that within that location there I'm certainly in favor of doing a large-scale evaluation to see what we can do in that area one of the biggest things I would like to hone in as well as we look at this
yes they say I thank you for the presentation it's a good presentation and I don't think anyone's ever argued with looking at the whole comprehensive picture in fact that's really what everybody's wanted all along we have watched different areas of Indian River Drive be addressed without conferring with council or doing a study so you know just as the property the Cocoa Village Bay Estates property was hardened Quite a bit of work was done there and that you know it wasn't part of a comprehensive study.

it has been pretty successful in stopping the erosion there which was getting pretty severe well there's also now on the hill where we did a half ‸ million dollars worth of work I think that was another road issue at the top of the hill where we had to secure or stabilize or whatever that the term is that was that
private property and that was when your predecessor here mr. Smith I think started that but I thought you were here too and I know that we also have that on the stormwater plan coming up some more work over there so that must be a road issue as well

second slide I just wanted to point out the and again it's a good presentation one more this one when I look at this and I think about the area the first thing I think is is it's kind of turned around because the house would be in the lower area and the river would be higher because that's the way it is for several of the homes there that the homes are actually lower than the road and I think that one of the reasons that we wouldn't entertain raising the road at least in the conversation you had with me was that it
and flood those homes that are lower so that was one of the risks but I just wanted to point that out and then to say also the baffle box and I think it was a couple slides up where you talked about the the baffle box and this that was a great that one you just did I that was ‸ a great layman's explanation understanding thank you for for taking time to do this but the baffle boxes I thought we determined that we couldn't do a baffle box at

to that just that it feels like you know particularly with the development that's going to be happening there now that there is more urgency to this and also what I had mentioned in written communications in January this council passed the vulnerability analysis which identified three areas in in

and then up by High Point well Dixon and Indian River Drive of those three even got mentioned more than any other so um to just to, you know, take our infrastructure seriously and, you know, prepare for the future, this would be a good step.

appreciate your presentation because it lays it out really well for me to understand all of this have there ever been any past studies at all done on this never never had one
I just was curious if in the past anybody had ever looked at this but I agree the comprehensive study is is a way to go so that we do it correctly so and the ‸ best for the area so anyway thank you

good evening thank you for that presentation that's that's some of the best work I've seen on this topic and I think the results of this study will move this from I don't know who's got the better qualifications to data and facts you know best as we see them that that can inform council to make a good decision a little premature to say this but I've said it before I just want to repeat it we need to make sure we weigh the different interests of different groups of homeowners in ‸ this process you know we've got the existing homeowners we've got potential new homeowners the developer let's not favor the developer continue to favor the developer in this process thank you
to be really close to the location that Abigail is commenting about. And I do really appreciate what she's already outlined here. And what I'm going to be talking about will probably be
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 01:21:26–01:21:38 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
will dovetail right into her presentation in itself because I have some thoughts that could add to it and build up on what she's already outlined here in her presentation. So, um, I'd like to highlight the key points that I believe that, uh, important to the future process and maybe even the budget. Uh, flooding experience today is, is occurring more frequently, like she outlined. And the city ultimately
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 01:21:39–01:22:08 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
and repairing all this. So, key challenges in the river flooding isn't driven by a single source, as she's highlighted. You got your underground, you got your underground water, uh, ground table water, you got your street, uh, storm water, and then you got the
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 01:22:09–01:22:26 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
In short, the system is already stressed before the first drop of rain falls. Um, so a different approach to inland drainage system is it, uh, what we have to do approach this is not the same that we would use the template for an inland type of drainage system. This is a coastal type of drainage system. All right. So, um, one of the things that we're looking at is a lot of the physical constraints that we have. Um, obviously
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 01:22:40–01:23:13 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
about the Dixon intersection, uh, where the curb and some riprap exists and it's about three to four feet away from the water's edge. That's very close. And it doesn't take much for the water to overtop the curb. So there's no really true. And I,
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 01:23:13–01:23:32 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
riprap and structural. In my mind, I'm thinking seawall. So I'm going to refer to more of it as a seawall. And the difference may be on a seawall on a riprap is that, um, if you're down in South Florida, we use the same materials, except they cement the wall together. They fill it in, they fill the voids in and then they, they drop in, uh, cement on the outside. So near the Dixon Boulevard

So it's already lost capacity in its sense. So whatever the the high water level is at the lagoon, the river, it's feeding all the way back into that pipe system. So when we look at duckbill valves, there's
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:25:18–01:25:18 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the duckbill one because that's one that we refer to most commonly. It stops the water from coming into the system. What you're more concerned about is the capacity of that system. And if you take away from that system, then all the rains and the groundwater and all that are fighting for the the pipe, the system. So that that's what duckbill does. It stops that backflow into the system. Okay. And the other thing is the groundwater is fighting. Any
is taking away from the capacity of that storm system, storm water system. So anyway, not on top of that, we also have all this development that's going on around us. That's adding to the flavor of our flooding down that street, whether it be the uh the new the new development, uh

bless that. But it's just a hair scheme ideal that I think might be worthy to explore. It might be good pre-positioning for your emergency pump system. If you ever, if you come up with your sea walls a little bit, maybe you have a staging area for materials or you could use it for emergency pumps. So on top of that, I always talk about improving local drainage systems.

works director for St. Pete Beach he has direct experience with the type of backflow prevention technologies and coastal flooding challenges that we've spoke about tonight. Okay,
so this this firm can address the concerns immediately, expeditiously, and my concern would be if this firm is readily available ma'am I think we would need to find out what the pricing would be because what I would like to do is make a recommendation based on the outline you stated here to see if we can acquire or obtain or ascertain a firm that will deliver this quality service so that then we can see what it's going to cost so we can have it as a budget item and move forward to address their concerns and I need a second and then a real discussion a second.

Can you elaborate on that? And then, not all of that, there was a picture where you had where all the shells barnacles were in that pipe versus I guess was it a stainless ‸ steel pipe? um That previous one, it may be prior to that, but could you talk a little bit ‸ yes that one and
fouling. It is very difficult to access them. Sometimes they tend to get some sedimentation in on theon the flap and so it doesn't end up working. And so he says and you can't maintain them some during some wet season periods because you have to get an underwater team and to go down there and kind of clean. them out. The stainless steel inline valves, they have, they require minimal flow resistance. So they they they open up with much less, you know, head pressure. And so, and they also have mechanisms that resist marine fouling so

about the long-term solution the question that I have is part of this evaluation will raising of the road and also maybe potentially doing grading in yards, existing yards as well. Would that be a part of that conversation or part of that process? ‸ So
what would what's what staff is is foreseen is once that study comes back is taking those recommendations and taking the Indian River Drive and Dixon Boulevard roadway elevation project that's been designed and kind of going back to thethe consultant and asking them to revise the design and kind of, you know, include those measures and those along the roadway as recommended by from the study.

Rebecca, and this may be also city attorney there, and so uh ‸ I'm assuming your your uh motion and uh vote was on the staff recommendations. Is there anything, Abby or Rebecca, that you guys need in terms of engaging the engineering firm? um Is that going to be a piggyback? It's professional services, and so do we have to go out to RFP for that, or how do we get there as as a quick as possible?
Abby would need to research if there is a contract that we could piggyback off of to facilitate the procurement side of it, and then uh dependent upon the cost of it. uh There would be budgetary measure need to be taken because this is not budgeted.
So there'll be there'll be at least two steps there. We'd come back with the purchasing and budgetary action, then engage, and then they would be able to go on and do the study and and that. Abby, did you say there is a there is a contract? Okay. Okay. okay So I think we have what we need.
Okay, thank you Thank you very much. uh Councilman, harran once again, you deliver for district number two, sir. Kudos to you. uh Going to item number seven dash three.

uh the council directed that staff um bring some redrafted language back to the school board for further considerations and that language had to pertain to actually uh
‸ additional options our counter offer, I would say. And so the first uh A is to just simply leave the uh the language in section 4.3 as originally drafted uh by the school board and and presented to the Council. The uh second option is uh is a outline and b and I can read that,
request was to waive the fees and um and uh allow the the uh the use of the facility for up to the four events. um their twist on that is, ‸ is that the events would be sponsored by and hosted by the city annually through the calendar year. And so um we would be
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:48:19–01:48:29 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
host and and b and then we would make the selection in uh c I don't know how that differs from hosting, but but again, the the responsibility for the events would be on the city um with regards to B and C. Obviously, there's some liability if you are actually the sponsor and the presenter of the event. And so again, as we've outlined in the staff presentation that that is. um an additional administrative burden that current staff is unable to accommodate with our existing workload and resources. So, uh Mr. Mayor and council we have before you the three. uh uh options that were provided by the school board.

a way that you can still communicate with us and let us know uh if you have inside of that, it could be quarterly, it could be every two months, you let the city council and city manager ‸ whoever know, hey, um we we've had in the last four months, we've had two non-profits um that wants to use the facility. We approve, we didn't approve, they let us know, and keep us informed of that process. um And so if you you you, so the first one was CHS ‸ controls non-profit booking, as they already do. um Number two was, uh we'll accept application in order by date. That way, first come, first serve is already in place. You know, hey, I got it in December 1st. The second one came in at December 15th, and so on and so forth.
and let us know um who they approve. We don't even really care about who they didn't approve. um And then we'll know uh we've hit the four, and we're done for the year, or we hit the two, and we start again next year. um And they already have a current process and protocol already in place for insurance.
um The only thing that that will be waived is just the facility fee, not the additional things, janitors and police and things of that nature. I sent it to her,

thought was. She said she's cool with that, um with the process that we have in place, because this is very similar to what they already do. yeah It's through Facilitron. So they go to Facilitron. They book it through Facilitron. It gets sent to admin. Admin can say yes. Admin can say no. They make a bring the non-profit in to say, hey, look, what are you doing? Are you doing a um something something for homeless children? And okay what what is your process? Are you charging? Blah, blah, blah. um But they already have the process in place.

Sometimes I do say no because it just doesn't fit what we do. She said, but if you this is what we're doing, this is what they're cool with.

to negotiate with the sheriff's office there. But I think, you know, as a, as your representatives, we we've done what we can to make sure that, that uh this is this life-changing event is, uh is as a, as a easy as possible and as fair as possible.
