II. DELEGATIONS:
1. Aleck Greenwood spoke highly of the finished work done at the park on the end
of Harrison street; he does however want a plan for more landscaping as he
believes that the area lacks greenery. He wants the agency to look 2-3 years
ahead due to all the money being invested into the downtown area. Director
Neuterman said that she will reach out to the Public Works Director to see what
types of landscaping would work in the area, and she will bring that information
back to the board.
III. PRESENTATIONS:
V. ACTION ITEMS:
1. Request Agency approval of Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Priorities based on the
anticipated budget for the fiscal year.
Director Neuterman gave an overview of the agenda item. She went over
various details regarding the financials of the CRA as well the projects that we
are currently working on and ones that will be carried forward into the next fiscal
year. The Oleander Pa rk design is supposed to include up to 85 new parking
spots, and it is going to be presented at the Planning & Zoning meeting later
this week. After going to Planning & Zoning it will be brought back to a future
Cocoa CRA meeting. It was also stated that w e will be applying for the FIND

Grant during the next fiscal year. Director Neuterman then mentioned that we
are expecting $2 million in revenue, which is comparable to what we brought in
last year. She also stated that we are expecting to know what the TIF revenue
is sometime in June and there is $3.8 million in fund balance which is meant
for specific capital projects. Director Neuterman then went over the various
requests that came from the Historic Cocoa Village Mainstreet which included
replacing park benches, landscaping and excavat ion enhancements, a
decorative pole banner program, a wayfinding signage program, etc. All of
which are included in our tentative budget so it will be up to the agency
members’ direction. Director Neuterman believes that the estimates for next
year’s fiscal budget are accurate and if not then they can be brought back to
the agency.
Chairperson Blake supports and endorses future projects that will take place
this year, but he wanted clarification on the lights in Oleander Park. Director
Neuterman explained that there will be security lights that are pedestrian
friendly in Oleander Park. Once the plan is approved at Planning and Zoning,
she will bring it back to the CRA . We will have electric vehicle chargers,
handicapped parking, and proper lighting which we will have to work with FDOT
on.
Agency Member Koss supports this as well and wanted to verify the location of
the Oleander West Parking area. She then inquired about the number of new
parking spaces that will become available at Oleander Park and wondered if
Public Works would do the proposed sidewalk and hardscape repairs. Director
Neuterman responded that the parking lot will be located west of Hughlett
Avenue and there will be an estimated 82-85 new parking spaces. She further
stated that though Public Works does have a budget for projects in certain areas
of the city, we would help out by incorporating the CRA into it.
Agency Member Weeks showed support for this item but wondered what could
be done about improving the restrooms. Director Neuterman responded that
we will talk to Public Works as this is an ongoing issue and it would fall under
the General Fund.
Agency Member Hearn showed support for the plan and expressed interest in
having a conversation in the future about doing something with the old Cocoa
Fishing Pier.
Vice Chairperson Goins is in favor of enhancing playground equipment as well
as some of the spaces and landscaping in the Cocoa CRA. In addition to this,
he would also like to look at replacing some of the special needs playground
equipment that has been damaged . The Vice Chairperson then discussed an
idea that he had for having a big Cocoa sign that could bring families in, he also
showed support for discussing what to do with the Cocoa Pier. It was noted by
Director Neuterman that the County currently own s the Pier, but the Vice

Chairperson does not believe this will be much of an issue. The City Manager
then pointed out that if the agency is interested in this then he will need direction
to approach the county. This direction would need to be in the form of a motion
made at a city council meeting. Vice Chairperson Goins is glad to see that the
parking lot is moving forward.
Agency Member Etz expressed her excitement with the projects taking place
in 2027. She is also in support of the pier, in fact two projects that she would
really like to see completed are the hotel and restoration of the fishing pier.
The Chairperson then gave former agency member Candace Rogers the
opportunity to give her opinion on the budgetary priorities for fiscal year 2027.
She discussed various ideas that she had, such as reaching out to sister cities
to see if they could help with the Cocoa pier to make it a special recreational
district. She also discussed her idea of having a pump out which can be funded
through the clean vessel act. A community dashboard was also suggested
which would allow citizens to know what is happening in the community. Mrs.
Rogers then suggested another idea for a trolley system which she believes
would benefit the city, especially if we started it in the summer as there are
people in the community who do not want to walk around the village in the heat.
Chairperson Blake then asked about the air conditioning at the Civic Center.
The City Manager responded that the first priority in terms of facilities was the
City Hall building. He was not sure if the unit on top of the Civic Center had
been replaced but it had not been raised as a priority in prior meetings with
Public Works. The Chairperson responded that it was one of his concerns for
everyone to be cool, calm and collective. For the trolley systems he would like
something that is environmentally friendly and friendly to all individuals.
Vice Chairperson Goins asked about the trolley and what exactly we would be
looking for. The Chairperson responded that it would be something like a
golfcart that is environmentally friendly with the least amount of impact in the
downtown area. He further stated that it would be nice to eventually have it go
to certain parts of the downtown area to give a description of historic sites for
historical preservation purposes. The Vice Chairperson then wondered about
what to do if there were items that we wanted to add to the budget . Director
Neuterman responded that the agency can direct staff to come back with
pricing as well as information on whether proposed items can be added to this
year’s budget or for a future year’s budget.
Aleck Greenwood believes it is important to remember where we go with
signage since we are at the center of the county. He then briefly discussed his
Model T car and how many people in the village like it. He knows someone who
sells them at a good price.

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.
183 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 12 voices separated from the audio.
17 short machine repair(s) (23 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 91.1% of 7,544 content words.
Dotted words (182 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
183 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.
I don't know what they did. All I know is when they brought it out, ‸ it started sparkling. So now I'm taking off the big diamond at night. And normally I wear it

Florida. Thank you, Chairman and the board, for allowing me to speak. I'm going to be to the point real quick. The recently finished work done at the park at the
Flag: the recognized words and the detected speech do not line up · 00:06:04–00:06:19 · gap filled by a machine re-reading (not checked by a person)
end of Harrison Street. It looks great. The paving's done, ‸ the striping, the lighting, they're not the same size as what we historically had through the village but it's similar. But really what I'm more interested in is there hopefully a plan for more landscaping than what I see there. I know you've got some limitations because of the paving that's involved with the area there but when I drive over the bridge it looks fantastic but it is lacking green. I just I'm hoping that there's a way we could continue what the looks are in the village all the way into the park and the reason why that's important to me and I've talked to also other people that agree that are in the commercial property group.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:07:30–00:07:39 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
in the downtown area. And because of that, we need to start looking at this area with different eyes to support what these two projects are going to bring.
and I don't want us to to try to backtrack and try to catch up after the projects are finished. Because when the projects are finished, those two projects are going to try to guide us to a higher level than even where we're at now. And so I'm hoping that this something that you all might want to look into and work together as a team because the team is great and I already said that but anyway.
I'm glad it's done it was a beautiful idea I'm glad we were able to succeed in getting it done but we need to dress it up a little bit to help invite more and support more what these two new projects are coming rather than I'd rather be proactive. If you all have any other questions that's about all that I needed.
So I think Mr. Chairman what what we can do is I'll reach out to the public works director to see what other types of landscaping we can place within the park that will not affect the security the lighting or anything else. We do have limitations because of the f dot right away or the the dry retention areas that
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:09:49–00:09:54 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Um, what projects we've been working on currently and what what we anticipate working on in the future. Um, so obviously our personnel is around 95,000. Our operating is 157. And those are the basic costs that we have just to keep the CRA operational. Our capital and our interfund transfers were part of what we do for the, um, we have the day slips project right now. So the day slips project is funded partially through find, but also partially through the CRA. Additionally, we have the design that we are doing that we're going to be doing for the t docs.
which I can, uh, say that we'll be taking the Oleander park design to the planning and zoning board on Wednesday night for approval of the full design of that parking area, which is the Oleander West parking. And,
uh, project costs for doing the construction out there for that, which will add close to 85 new spaces here in the village, which will be an awesome addition to that, especially the Western area where there's a lot more activity going on in that area. So moving into 27, uh, obviously our personnel and operating costs are staying about the same. What

West parking. Um, once we get more design and construction costs, we'll obviously be bringing that back to the agency with some ‸ firm numbers, but we're going to budget accordingly with those estimates. Knowing that we're going to be doing these projects in 27. And,
now for, uh, the commercial facade grants, the improvements within the CRA, which helps the businesses improve their facades and, and, and make the village and make the CRA much better. So we'll be intending to use some of the fund balance costs where we're anticipating approximately $2 million in revenue, um, for the CRA, uh,
which is specific for capital projects. So, and we have those already basically assigned to the three capital projects that we have, which are the three waterfront projects and the, the two waterfront projects with the Oleander West ‸ parking. And then any additional parking additions that we intend to do here in the CRA. So, um, additionally, uh, we received a request from the historic Cocoa village main street to, uh, add some additional budget items to the CRA. And, and I provided those to you in your agenda packet. And I'll go over those rather briefly because I think a lot of these are more functional for us in order ‸ to replace some of the aging equipment that we have,
add some new things to, to beef up what, like what Mr. Greenwood said, the look and the feel of the village and making it, um, a better enhanced, um, experience for everybody. Uh, the first thing would be the replacement of park benches. Uh, we haven't had new bark park benches in quite some time. So a lot of those benches are aging.
especially we, we tend to have some rot and some, uh, degrading of those, of those seats. So we're, they're asking to replace a lot of those benches for the safety of our guests in the village, uh, landscaping and excavation enhancements. A lot of that, you know, getting rid of the ‸ vegetation. That's bad adding some new colorful vegetation, uh, putting
things that are not going to get trampled, things that are not going to, um, have a lot of wear and tear things that are resilient to the excessive traffic in the area. So, you know, a lot of that doing some irrigation repairs,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:15:40–00:15:41 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
a lot of the areas may have some irrigation that is in need of repairs and then mulching and doing all of that to beautify the area. Yeah, which I think we're all in that same agreement on that.
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:15:56–00:15:56 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:16:01–00:16:01 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:16:04–00:16:04 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the park and some of the other events. And it really does. If you go ‸ to other local downtown districts, they have those similar pole banners that, uh, identify different activities that are in the village. That they are in their area. And so it's something that we want to replicate here in cocoa village and, and on top of that, doing some decorative street lighting enhancements, you know, increasing the led fixtures where appropriate,
Uh, that's a big one is to know where the businesses are in the village, to know where to go, what to do and where to park. And so this way finding sign signage program will help guide the pedestrians and guide the vehicles to the right areas, to where to park, where to go, where to eat, where to celebrate, where to see the shows. And, and then
trash receptacles and street scape furnishings. Um, we are in need of some of those trash receptacles to be replaced, um, increased some of those, the decorative ones and adding some bike racks for all of those electric bikes that are coming through the village.
doing some sidewalk and hardscape repairs, those are important to maintain the safety of the pedestrians within the village. And making sure that we don't have any of ‸ the oak trees that are tearing up some of the sidewalks that we do some remediation to prevent some of that from happening.
but when they presented this to, to me at the historic coca village main street meeting, I was, I thought that these were all reasonable asks, um, in order to help grow the village, uh, to meet some of the needs of what we're going to be needing over the next couple of years.
here, we want to be able to provide a safer environment for everybody by having more lighting, having better hardscape and street scaping. So, um, so I have added these to our tentative budget for this fiscal year already at your direction. If you are okay with us moving forward with that, um, I believe these numbers are pretty good estimates of what. What we have and, and we'll, if obviously if those numbers change over the course of the fiscal year, we'll bring it back to you and tell you, you know, we need a little bit more, a little bit less to, to move forward. But, but I felt that these were pretty decent numbers to, to get us started, to do some changes, to make some upgrades and, and to make some of those improvements within the CRA.

Okay. Thank you. Um, yeah, I support this very much too, but my question is about the bathrooms. Now I know, you know, putting extra signage, but if you use the bathrooms, they are the, the inside of the public bathrooms have seen better days. Yes. Um, is there any way we can do something about those as well while we're doing some sprucing up? Because you know, with all the people who are down there for, I mean that, that go down there and, um,

and I don't expect to have any, uh, finances budgeted for it this year, but I would like to put on our radar again, a big opportunity that we have. Um,

So maybe going back and looking into that possibly again, it may, it may now need to be swings.

projects that we have for fiscal 2027 spot on. I'm, I'm excited about it. I think by the end of these, we're going to feel like we really did something this year. And that's exciting.

sometimes we have to kind of float along and push it and whatever. But this, I think this year, we're going to finish up with some, some stuff. And as I'm reading through this and I, I didn't really, as I was just reading and the ‸ main street project thing,
until I got to the end. And I'm like, Oh, this is good. This is great. All the merchants will love this. So the fact that you've added that in ‸ already is I that's going to be very exciting to everybody who has businesses here in the village and put me on the team. Peer as well, because there are two projects. I've been here a long time.

because now I didn't grow up here and I don't have the same outlook, but I can just imagine how cool that would be for some of the, you know, neighborhood families in the community to be able to use that again. So whatever council has to do, if I have to come and, you know, like delegations and scream at you guys for council, I'll do that too. But, but put me down for ‸ team

Just put it down. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. I'm glad you brought up the pier. Um, because I've thought about that a lot. And it is socially, I think it would be a wonderful thing if we could reacquire it. However, it's more in my mind, something that would benefit not only Cocoa, but Merritt Island, Rockledge. So, in my mind, I was thinking if we could get the other sister cities to join together and make that pier a special recreational district so that we could pour money in from the cities that will be utilizing it. And perhaps we could get it off the ground. Um, I don't know any other way to address it other than maybe that way, because we do have liabilities and there are other things, but it would be very, very good for our community if we had that back again. Socially, it would be wonderful. Um, so that's my contribution to that. Yes, it would take a lot of work, but I think anything that's worth having is worth working for.
and the waterfront update in 2018 with a three to five year completion time. Well, I think it would be a good time maybe when we go in there to finish up and redo the waterfront is to put that back in there because
we had that meeting or it wasn't a meeting, but the merchants had come and they were upset about the, having crime or the perception of safety in the neighborhood. Um, or in the village and to me that actually is not just a, a policing issue. It's really a redevelopment issue because if you know what's happening within the community, then you know where the lights are going to be out. If you have a dashboard, which a lot of communities do have that. So what you're doing is you're taking information either from the neighbors or from, uh, Collins. Um, maybe they're not, uh, emergencies, but they're alerting you as to where ‸ things are happening or where you need more lighting, like in the parking lots and so on and so forth. So that when you gather that information
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:36:14–00:36:14 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the, um, public can see what's happening, you can then say, well, we have some issues and this is where we need to reinvest. Maybe it's a code enforcement issue. You would have that information also.
But if we know that things are happening around that, it is an issue. It's a, it's not going to encourage anybody if we leave it sit there, but we know that is an area we need to address. So we could bundle our money more intelligently by knowing where we need to put it. And if somebody has a facade, well, we can look and see if that actually generated any more tax dollars for us. So it's just a gauge. And I think it does give people a sense of safety because they know, well, we had the hate to say it, the RV guy, but he was all over the village. And he was pirating water and electricity. Well, everybody saw it, but nobody reported it.
We haven't seen him since, but he did cause a lot of damage. The vegan restaurant, they lost hundreds of dollars, spoiled food. It was just unnecessary.

know, I just go back to it because we could do a pilot. ‸ Actually, the dashboard could also be a pilot program so we could get it off and then execute it maybe six or 12 months later when we have a better feel for it. But the trolley also summertime would be a good time to institute that, especially when it's 96 and it feels like it's 112. I don't care if it takes you five minutes to walk from here to there, you're not going to do it if you feel like you're just going to melt. And if

Okay. ‸ They want to be taken around. And also, if you take them around the village, they'll stay longer. They'll go down to the south end that they probably never visit. And
as a festival street, those people that have businesses there, it just dies. But if you have a trolley that will actually bring people and drop them off because they're not going to walk out of Lee Winter Park and hobble over and, you know,
