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.
428 suspect passage(s) marked in place.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 21 voices separated from the audio.
36 short machine repair(s) (42 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 95.0% of 18,857 content words.
Dotted words (396 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
428 passages (20% 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.
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.

that we have so much um intentional outreach happening amongst our agencies, but there wasn't a lot of cross collaboration and communication. And we came up with this concept of kind of creating a group and we look for the cities, just the blessing to move forward and
really with the intent to get together every month and talk about what's working, what's not working, and how we could better work together with the resources that we have. So fast forward now, we had a full year in 2024. We had, um as I mentioned, 33 organizations. They're at the bottom of the sheet that I shared with you. And they come and go. So we've been meeting every single month. We average about 15 to 20 organizations each meeting. And what's beautiful about the meeting is that we rotate location. um Actually, our one of our last meetings was um at ROMS at Orchid Lake to ‸ see the new housing there. And the
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:07:44–00:07:48 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that we locate uh rotate those locations, those organizations are able to really speak to what they do there. They're able to physically show us what they do there so that when we bring that information back to the people that we serve through our organizations, we can say, go
make sure you ask for Patricia. You know, we're able to be really specific um and able to um not only serve our constituents better, but that we're also better able to build trust amongst our agencies because we're making really uh solid referrals to one another because we know what they have and we know what they don't have. We're not making bad referrals to each other. So we've, um as we've met, we've had some key outcomes. ‸ The first is that the county is taking notice of what we're doing. They um love the 922 crew. And um

Flag: a language review questioned the wording; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:08:55–00:08:57 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
that's a terrible name. And he said, we're the 922 crew. And so that's why we're named that. um So the the group named itself and the group is owned by itself. I may help do the administration of it. But the members that you see and the people that you hear from, they all equally own it. um It's not one person's organization or group. um So for us, um our Brevard Homeless Coalition, uh through our work, they've actually asked, hey, Tara, can you help us set geographic work groups ‸ up in the north, like you've done in the
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:09:31–00:09:31 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
They already had the North Brevard Coalition of Human Services up there, but they've also started working in work groups in this way. So I've met with some leaders in Melbourne and I've met with some leaders in Palm Bay. It can't be that Tara does it or that our group does it, but there are agencies
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:09:56–00:09:59 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
benefit from getting together on a regular basis to work across sectors and just do a better job of of maximizing resources. So I am working on that with the Brevard Homeless Coalition to try to create geographic work groups. The second part is something that I had
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:10:16–00:10:20 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
of doing ‸ something called asset mapping. In the simplest term, asset mapping is taking note of what your assets are and then geographically mapping them in a way that you can actually see them, interact with them, and lean into those resources as providers when you need each other, it exists. So I started working in asset
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:10:44–00:10:47 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Flag: the machine readings disagree here; numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:10:51–00:10:52 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
right now. And it helped to create a map of our providers where we can actually in real time update information. So unlike two on one which has a wonderful database,
with those partners that are part of this group. And we actually pin them in there with real-time information. So if in any meeting, let's say Early Learning Coalition comes to me and says, hey, we're not doing that thing anymore, we can immediately take it off this asset map.
from provider to provider. The asset map was really popular as I presented it last spring and it actually expanded from our initial map. parish Healthcare loved what they saw. They thought it would help in discharge planning and so they actually took what we started with the asset map. But I want to say that we,

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:12:05–00:12:09 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
they can actually also set up a map. And all of those maps would be interconnected with each other so that we have what we call a super asset map. And so I just wanted to make sure you were aware of uh where we stood with asset mapping. And this group helped to fill out that information for the map. But even more important than all of that is like the real organic conversations that happen in the meetings where um
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:12:41–00:12:41 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And then somebody else in the group, you know, maybe Rob saying, Hey, and we have housing for that family. And so it's this ability for this group every month to come together and say, this is a need that we're seeing. And then organically in real time, them, uh the group coming together
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:13:09–00:13:16 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And it's just a beautiful thing to observe. And I just wanted you to be aware of just how strong we work together to meet the needs of residents. um The other thing is that and using like Lori with Brevard Adult Community Education, like they're oh ‸ they always have resources there. They always have programs. They always have opportunities. But so many of our agencies we're just so busy serving. We don't stop to pay attention to necessarily what's happening. And so her organization, the library, they're con they're bringing flyers about information of of things that would be of value to all of the residents. And we bring it that information back to our constituents and make sure they're aware of education opportunities, of certification opportunities, of just ways to upskill and um have some economic mobility. um So not just basic needs being met, but also opportunities for growth. um So so for 2024, we just saw just an incredible uh turnout and
participation, and it was ‸ real honor to be part of it. But I'm here tonight to ask for some help as well. So the first is one of the needs came up during the year. This is an organic thing that came up. um uh Girls and Boys Club, the Boys and Girls Club said, we really would love to see more attendance in our after school program. Tell me if I get this wrong. Chris.
can't get them there. And Boys and Girls Club are saying, well, maybe we need a van. And Chris is saying, like, if they could just walk across a crosswalk at Dixon and

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:15:46–00:15:50 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
out. um So our parents are begging us for help. And I was able to connect with Garrison Moreno at the Boys and Girls Club. And they're actually walking them now. They walk down to Endeavor every day with their team and escort the kids back to the club. And we're sponsoring those kids. But with that crosswalk, we can grow that program exponentially. Mr. Garrison is not here tonight because he is over there with my kids and enrolling a few more. And we can grow that program from they were looking at having to relieve staff to now they're hiring more staff because we've made that connection. These are kids that are going home alone in our city. Our aftercare program only accommodates for 91 students from kinder to fifth grade. Our sixth graders, who are our most opportunity youth, most likely to go get in trouble, are being sent home alone. The Boys and Girls Club is closing that gap. We need your help to close it some more. That crosswalk would allow those kids to walk that way on their own as well as our families day to day.

attached to this group that we could lean into around um needs that arise like this. That could be an advocate within the city for things that arise. I don't know that you would need to attend every meeting. I know that time is of an essence for you and I just wanted to be mindful of that. But there are times that things come up where there's gaps, there's questions, there's concerns. would love to have a person be the designated person to this group from the city that could help us potentially solve or bring it back to council when needed.
say, uh I think this collaboration among the organizations is a great idea. um One of the biggest things I had amongst my constituents, they would call seeking resources. Sometimes they would get bad information to the wrong resources or uh they just felt they were getting a run around So I think you guys having that conversation and making sure you know where the correct uh resources are for these people seeking help. I think that's a great idea. And in regards to the crossing,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:18:56–00:18:57 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the crosswalk has been in design um for quite some time. The city is actually sharing in the cost of that. Unfortunately or fortunately, Dixon Boulevard is a county road. And so we have to participate with the county in terms of the design of that. um So I'll double check on where we are with that. That that uh ‸ crosswalk, I think, has been designed. And and so it's a funding issue now. um costs a little bit more than we would expect uh to do that,
Tara probably in the morning there. We also, we sit on a working group with the uh transportation planning organization and it's called the Dixon Boulevard Working Group.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings; a language review questioned the wording · 00:20:11–00:20:17 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we've been sitting now we've been talking about um Dixon and there'll be some sort of uh total street design that comes back eventually, but most immediately um I'll get you ‸ the information on the crosswalk.
are helping and uh assisting, if you could, whatever is best for you guys, report back to the city. uh As you know, we travel throughout the state and we have neighboring cities that have these same issues that we are struggling with and ‸ you know trying to provide uh answers for, uh
Yeah, I, it's, it's, i I wanted to sit down with, um Stockton and kind of go through that and kind of show it to him and kind of work through that. He and I had ‸ conversation a couple ‸ years ago about the start of it, just to show how it could be used and really talk about how the city wants to unroll that for us.
but like parish actually publishes the map in their hospital settings so that patients, uh people visiting can actually see the map, um or scan a QR code to access the map. So again, not trying to take the place of a database, but just wanted to have real-time

it so that you can see for right now. Ii don't have it as a public map. Okay. I can invite you as a stakeholder so you can take a look at it. So maybe that's the best next step is to invite council to take a look at it as stakeholders and then you can kind of play around with it.

uh Our church and my wife has been involved with hosting families overnight. And so uh she's down where the rubber meets the road. And let me tell you, they get good traction. uh uh So actually, you're getting a two for me from for tonight. I will make it as quick as possible. uh Since I did have the
I have some ‸ my usual out brief. uh But instead of tying you up twice, I'll give it to you one time. So what I'd like to do first off is just ‸ talk about our museums. And uh uh if you're not aware, I have laid out a brochure for you.
the city has joined that group. uh Basically what it is, it's uh 20 different museums throughout the county. And it includes both of our museums. And recently I've participated in two outreach events where we go and put this out into the community. uh So uh that's that's a good thing for us. uh Also, uh for uh the Brevard Museum, where I spend a lot of my time, I figured I'd give you some numbers. uh For 2024, we had over 9 000 visitors uh with 6 000 adults and over 3 000 kids come through. uh That includes the trains event that Florida East Coast Railway

with uh 488 kids. And those kids get things like a safety bag. And we have crayons and safety information and uh all kinds of goodies for them. They get a little junior engineer card when they get to run the train around the layout. So they always enjoy that. And of course, down in Malabar ‸ tonight, don't you know, we had another gate runner that got caught. So I understand he had to be extracted from the vehicle. So uh that wraps up my little museum thing. uh Now let's move on to TPO. So uh also, I've passed out the annual report for you from Space Coast TPO. uh It includes a couple of good things that I'll get to. uh ‸ But first of all, uh uh okay, here we go. uh LRTP, Long Range Transportation Planning, Cost Feasible. uh

sc tpo working with the city to make uh safety improvements to that road. uh uh Third, uh rail crossing elimination, otherwise known as a safety grant. uh coco will have three crossings uh involved with that. uh
West Highlands Avenue will go to a four quadrant gate protection. Michigan will go to three gates and a median which, uh to tell you the truth, I'm not real thrilled about not having four gates, but having three gates and a median there. As a person who would drive that, while it may work for bright line it certainly doesn't work for when
at five miles an hour and you watch everybody make the U-turns and head to Dixon or the b line And I did try and pass that on to the TPO. I don't know how they decided what they were doing where. Leave that to the professionals. uh Also,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:29:44–00:29:47 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
I wasn't aware of this one. uh Under the FDOT, the Transit Work Program, uh you know, Clear Lake Road from 520 all the way up to Michigan, they have a work order now for landscaping. So this is above and beyond the safety project and so they're going to be
nice to have some shade trees by those bus stops. We all know what our summers are like here. uh Real quick, doesn't directly apply to us, but the Turnpike, you know, they do own
They're doing some final thermoplastic striping. And also the 501 Clear Lake project, they're doing the last bit of cleanup there spring of 2025. So those projects should be wrapping up here. And then uh last but not least, upcoming events. uh SCTPO in conjunction with Brevard County Schools on February 17th is conducting a student travel survey. So when you talk about kids going from Endeavor over to the Boys and Girls Clubs, uh you know, hey, we can give you some input there. And with that, I conclude my reports.

Whereas celebrating Black History Month is an integral part of acknowledging the invaluable contributions and achievements of African-Americans throughout history, and whereas recognizing Black History Month fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of the struggles, triumphs, and cultural richness of the Black community, and whereas history inspires and informs the future,
Black History Month serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination exhibited by individuals who have fought for ‸ justice, equality, and civil rights. And whereas it is essential to honor the legacies of African-American leaders, activists, artists, scholars, and innovators whose impact has shaped our society in profound and lasting ways.

Canaveral Groves area were being served by individual water wells ‸ and septic tank systems. This condition raised serious condition and concerns about water contamination. The report documented high levels of arsenic and lead contamination within the area exceeding safe drinking water standards. This was done by DP Development. To solve this problem, DP Develop installed 20,000 feet of a 12-inch water line. The objective of constructing the water line along Satellite Boulevard was take the first major step to create an integrated public water supply system to the West Canaveral Groves area. As part of this project, we also installed 30 fire hydrants and 40 12-inch gate valves in 100 calendar days. The scope of the work, you know, was accomplished with one utility crew digging 1,000 feet to 1,200 feet a day and another one backfilling.
got it done in 100. And ‸ DP Development takes great pride in the fact that we have provided safe, high-quality drinking water to the residents living in West Canaveral Groves. I don't have no safe drinking water.
said the City of Cocoa water system is a regional system that is permitted to provide water to all. And I put in there Webster's Dictionary. Don't take my word for it. They've been in business since 1800. And it explains all.

So, as y'all, I wasn't here for the first meeting. But I had heard the customer come in for, you know, the inquiry. So, over the last whatever month or so, I was kind of doing some research, trying to figure out, you know, steps, costs, other things associated with ‸ proceeding with this kind of a station. I've got to tell you, I didn't find a whole lot. And he was right. Very limited use. In fact, there's hardly anybody in Florida who provides the service. But I think as you get out west, where things are more rural and ‸ more spread out, the bulk stations are used.
then fill trucks to haul water to communities is really the model that I saw. But that being said, I still went ahead and did the research. So, the first map here I put together just, hey, you know, the area that we're talking about, this gentleman's property is kind of highlighted.

So, pretty far down that road. Just so you understand, the lot was purchased in 2018, undeveloped. The lot, the house was constructed in 2022. This is all according to the Brevard County property appraiser. About 4 miles away.

can be removed from water systems. It costs some money, but I would imagine that ‸ a lot of folks who are out there right now are using that system. And it depends quite a bit on the chemistry. You're not going to know exactly what that cost is until you pull water samples and test the water and see what kind of arsenic comes in many forms. And there are different treatment systems that treat different kinds of arsenic. So, you have to kind of figure all that out. But that certainly is an option. For the homeowner, it has nothing to do necessarily with this council.

entered into a memorandum of understanding for West Canaveral Groves. That project built a 12-inch water main in 2018 using a HUD grant for the purposes of adding fire protection and services for lots along Satellite Boulevard. And it specifically called out in the agreement. That was the only thing that it was to be provided for. This issue with Satellite Boulevard, by the way, predated me when I got here. I got here in 2009. This issue had been if you all remember Mr. Len Beckett and others used to come regularly. He had been to Carl Araby and others for years and Mr. Weaver ‸ before I ever got here. And so the development of the right-of-way and all the necessary steps were outlined in letters that were given to Mr. Beckett as well as other people in the Satellite community about,
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:51:40–00:51:41 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
even gotten the 12-inch water mains. So the nice part of that ‸ is that the county got the grant. They installed ‸ that water line. It provided a number of hydrants along there for protection that were never there. So all the homes that were along there now have fire protection. But it was never contemplated that it would extend all the way to the side streets, at least not for free. I mean, there's just there's a cost associated with everything that we do. And who pays for those costs are decisions that this board, this council has to make, okay? And, of course, you know, anything that has to be done has to be done per our requirements. And, by the way, ‸ the although it was a county project, we had an inspector that went out there and inspected it to ensure that it met all the
and so on when it was constructed. So the idea that came to council was to use there's an abandoned booster station pump along 520, that's the area highlighted in red, if you can see it there, as maybe a possible place for a booster station. So that's kind of an area to kind of show you what's there. There's an existing abandoned building there, which most likely we would want to take down at some point.

to do what we're talking about. That's no question. I did do some research. I talked to a company. I forget where they're out of. They sent me some ‸ brochure and some information.

even include in that cost. But the site development, we're going to have to do stormwater. We're going to have to do pipes. We're going to have to do security on the site. We're going to have to connect to the Internet. We're going to have to do all of the things I generally listed there.

The kind of bulk reader that I did look at has the ability to swipe a credit card if we connect it to the Internet and set up accounts and things potentially. But unfortunately, right now, the other system, which would be like to try to connect them like a customer, because of our ‸ NaviLine system, it really won't communicate. There's really no possibility that we can do that. But there would be potentially a system to set up. It would just have to be ‸ paid for and built into that station. So that's possible. Again, and I didn't include the demo of the building that if we were to do that, that would be the
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 00:55:07–00:55:07 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
So I tried to highlight some of the things that would have to be at least be discussed by this by this council. We don't have a rate for bulk water distribution. We'd have to discuss that. We'd have to get our rate consultant in involved and figure out what the true cost of bulk water is relative to the cost of what customers pay.
There is a legal liability of water contamination. What happens if somebody fills up from that site? They get sick and they turn around and look at the city and say, well, I filled up at your station. I can't control from that point of ‸ exit inside that person's containment what happens. And so, not ‸ unachievable. ‸ It just creates another wrinkle ‸ which we would have to deal with ‸ before we could maybe move forward

the city's interests are protected, as well as the other people who pay for the water system. The utility policy of restricting one meter serves one customer is kind of clearly outlined in our handbook. We would have to make some adjustments there. It's just one of those things we have to do. And then the current policy of the owner-developer pays for infrastructure. That's where we've been well before I got here.

the current policy. I clipped a couple excerpts from our handbook. But, you know, basically, growth pays for growth. We don't put growth on existing customers for water or sewer. And so, in doing this kind of a bulk station, if the city were to pay for it, it would certainly be our ratepayers paying for that ‸ service to provide for these customers that don't have water. So, if this board is in favor of going forward with that bulk station, we would have to address that very carefully because not only would it affect this bulk station, but it would affect really all development throughout Cocoa. And not through the city of Cocoa,
Give me a quick analysis of a legal opinion in reference of the station. And I know Mr. Walsh did address contamination. If they pull off from that facility and they get sick,

Well, I think Jack covered a lot of ‸ highlights and additional issues that would have to be evaluated from a, you know, from a risk standpoint. I mean, the city is in the business of providing potable water. So, the city, if they, and has a fairly good control of its water system through traditional methods of piping water into the households,
in today. So, I would imagine, given the duty that the city has to provide safe drinking water, a water station would have to have certain rigorous standards and protocols to ensure that the water is safe to drink. Because the intent would be for drinking and for obviously other purposes. But, you know,

No, no, no, we're not building a line. If we were to choose the bulk water station, ‸ the water line is out on 520. We would have to tap that line, create a safe place for the water to be distributed from, and a place to account for it. And that's what that site showed. We could do it at that site. But I think from a ‸ board standpoint, the policy decisions are the things that you all need to sort of wrestle with, which we've wrestled with before, which is about how do we pay for growth? How do we pay for this case for ‸ a service? Not only for this gentleman, but for other people who would be interested in doing or maybe participating,

would go down that dirt road until it landed in front of his property. And then we would tap that main after he paid for that expense, and then we would set the meter for him. But all of those costs would be associated with, in this case, an individual. But it's the exact same policy

go for ‸ that final village. Those costs are paid for by the Vieira Company up front, and then are reimbursed through impact fees that we collect on ‸ the meter ‸ when we actually make the connection. So they get a reimbursement. And we also had an agreement that paid for five major infrastructure projects ‸ to extend those things.
‸ Well, that was the question. So are there other residents that if he were to, are there other residents along that line that could share the expense to have water brought out there?
way, the, I did a little bit of research on the right-of-way, private right-of-way, whatever it's described. It's not, it's not a traditional right-of-way. I think it's, it's really hard to find. I've looked it up in Brevard. But what I didn't see was, was a utility easement within it. And without that, I think that would make it even more difficult.

And quite honestly, we would have to do a procurement. I mean, I didn't even put any of that down, but finance and other, you know, we have requirements. It's not just one company.
And I'd have to open, put it out onto the demand star so that could be openly bid. But I did that just so we had an idea that, hey, the station is around 40 or 50,000, depending on what you build. If it's a really small line, only for residential use, it might be a little smaller. But relative to the cost of developing the site,
kind of doesn't matter at that point, because the site's going to be very expensive to develop, because it's not going to be just where you can just pull off to the side of the road, fill up your can and leave. We're not going to be able to do that.

I mean, not bonds, but, well, impact fees, number of places that you could go to to apply for grants. That's the word I'm thinking of, grants for, for doing this, not only for a water station or now that I hear about the easement,
I have another, I have a solution to that. ‸ They're permitted to sell water to private individuals. I'm private. Once it leaves the water tap off of Okowski, it's all my responsibility. The city wouldn't have anything in it, nor the county. I've contested everybody.
Mr. Four owns the entire 2,000 feet road. The county said they don't know, they don't want it. The people lives there don't want it. So it belongs to me and otherwise, so you can go intimate domain down the street or I could go intimate domain. And the city water facility has put in five water taps that I can prove without a shadow of a doubt. No houses there, nobody. And that line just keeps on trucking. So explain that one. And go back. Yeah, I actually did some
research from the last meeting because he claimed that there was ‸ some meters. And so we went through the customer service database and checked and we don't have a single registered meter that's not on Satellite Boulevard. So if there are meters there, they're not ours.
Does the city allow someone else to tap the water main without their knowledge? No, it doesn't. No. It's illegal. Well, they were city employees there, so I'll save that one for Christmas present.

have meters for development, and the water is metered when it comes to the site during the construction until the final infrastructure is built. There are a couple of businesses that have meters that can hook up some of the mobile businesses, And we've kind of worked out some policies with these, ‸ limited businesses that move around a little bit, and so that's what they're supposed to do. Now, I've gotten, I think, Councilman Goins sent me a picture of somebody, or I'm sorry, Councilman Hearns just a month or so ago said, hey, I think this guy was connecting without a meter on it, but we checked it out. And so when people tell us, you know, we do enforcement. If we find them, if we find they're taking water without a meter, then we find them.

And that is within a couple of years. So we now are having to recognize the extra services that that influx of people are going to be looking for and is going to need.

And it's it'll give them a little breathing room by having additional representation like that.

Um, really looking at expanding that youth program with the expansion of the building. They're currently serving 238 youth, but, um, hoping to expand that and actually be able to go out into the schools as well as have more ‸ programming in the facility. Um,
There are like a half a dozen artists out there. Um, and evidently this is a club that meets there regularly. Um, this is, uh, Ella Sue Schneider and she's, she's over, she has some works over at Carolyn Seiler's studio. Um,
um, just one of the special things, you know, about Cocoa Village and, and having an arts center as we do. And lastly, I wanted to talk about smart growth, which is a term I hear a lot of people use, particularly in the election. And, of course, you want growth that is smart. But I wanted to point out that smart growth is actually,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:39:30–01:39:35 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
conferences to develop these principles. So when we talk about smart growth, and this is also a good way to kind of evaluate how we're doing. And we're doing well in several accounts, but includes more than density. So it includes the mixed land uses, which we're incorporating. Um, the compact building design, of course, is going, going up,
density, um, creating different, a range of housing opportunities. Uh, not just affordable, not just high end, but a whole, uh, range. Of course, walkable neighborhoods are really important. And I think number five, the fostering distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place. I know that was important for me when, when I went looking for a place to live. And that's
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:40:24–01:40:26 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
the emerald necklace. And, you know, having green areas that connect with each other throughout the city to create, uh, walkable spaces for humans, as well as for wildlife. ‸ And, um, strengthen and direct development toward existing communities. So, the density attracting more density rather than sprawl. Um, and of course, we're going to be a transportation hub. So, we're doing really well on number eight to provide a variety of transportation choices. Nine, we want to make development decisions predictable, fair, cost effective. I think that that's a lot of the changes that we've been making.

uh, have sidewalks on the, uh, opposite side of the road. Something we didn't have before, uh, making that area a lot safer for the kids that, uh, the numerous of kids that we're seeing now at Anderson Park since we, uh,
Um, ‸ it continues to come along. Um, and also I had the opportunity to attend the, uh, League of Cities event with the mayor, as he stated. And it's just, uh, really something to be

been seeking help and, and they answered the call. And, and so, um, I think it also shows that, uh, with collaboration and relationships, um, because I knew someone else that they knew and it all kind of connected to each other. So

I think we still got a long way to go with the process, but the fact that the process has begun is a beautiful thing. So thank you, Dave. When he said the name of the company, I was kind of, okay. I've never heard that one. Um, but, but again, thank you, dead bug Dave for, um, stepping up. Um, this is a black history program that's at Eastern Florida State College. It would be Thursday, February 27th. Um, every year, uh, they
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:44:40–01:44:41 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
the students there do an awesome job and they have food, some really good food. And so, uh, you know, I love food. So I'm going to be there probably early and make sure I get it. Uh,
uh, any museum. Um, and it, it brought a lot of reflection to me. I'm only 45 years old. So things, um, uh, my mother or my grandmother have been through, uh, I didn't, um, feel that. Right. And so when you see and go through certain museums, it really touched me personally.
And so that kind of brought me back to our, um, museum that we have here, which was, um, a former, uh, all black elementary school. And I believe maybe one of the first in Brevard County and it, it brought me to the thought process. Uh, we have not done enough, uh, with that museum. We, we have came a long way from 2017 when it was nothing in there. Uh, thanks to staff, uh, and leadership, um,
um, because I don't feel I personally have done enough to push it. Um, I think I took the step back, um, just hoping that the system can take care of itself. Uh, asking volunteers to, to, it was a great idea for that.
or so with volunteers, but I think some of the volunteers, once they realize how much commitment it takes to, uh, volunteer in a, in a museum, which is a lot of time, three or four days a week, four or five hours a day. Um, and I, I don't believe that was, you know, it was a great gesture, but that's not where we should go. And so I believe we need to have a conversation as a council, um, and have, and between us, maybe at a budget meeting, um, because we know everything takes dollars.
again, I have not pushed the envelope. Um, we have not made motions to, to put dollars towards whatever we want this to be. Um, and, and I really, with consensus, I really want us to be able to have this conversation, maybe at a, uh, our next budget meeting to put it on the agenda for discussion. Uh, we really need to have a real robust discussion about what we want, um, this African American history museum to be.
it may not ever come to fruition. And so we have to make a, a effort to, to get it out. The other museum that we have on Michigan, we see it flourishing. It is, it is coming up from the ashes from where it was,
because of so many good volunteers stepping up. And so we just fortunately, unfortunately, we don't have that, uh, volunteer crew to step up right now for this museum. Um, and so it's going to fall on our shoulders. And so I just wanted to show, um, this is the grand opening that was done in 2017. Um, I believe we owe it, uh, to, to those members that was on a council at that time as well. Um, for us to step up and, and make this dream come to ‸ fruition, just in my opinion. And I, I'll open that up. I don't know how you guys feel about what I'm saying. If I'm, if I'm way off, please correct me.
the CRA in Tampa, um, and they took us to both the historical African American community, the Spanish community, uh, the Catholic community. And it's a culmination of everyone participating. Yep. And, um, those CRA dollars were also invested to rejuvenate that area and renovate that area. And I think that's going to, uh, need to take place because we have a sunset for Diamond Square. Yep. Um, it would be nice. Yes. Cause it's, it's amazing how all

I, I share your frustration as well because, and I don't think the expectation that volunteers are going to come in and, you know, I don't think we're there yet. But our goal should really be to have a ‸ plan to make this a living museum, you know, and then build our interpretation as we go. And, um, so like last year, I just, we really need a, a speaker's program.

divine nine groups to come in and do, uh, it doesn't have to be in black history month, but in those, in those months, maybe every other month we have something that we present inside of the building.

have, and that's something, again, we could do that at the next, the budget hearing, but we may have to look at a nonprofit who is, uh, maybe currently have the expertise to do this and allow them, um, to, to run it for us because we don't have the staff to do it.

Indian River Drive Road. I mean, just, if you're going to tell it, tell the entire story. Yeah. You know, the importance of it all. Yes, sir. And that's the pivotal thing. While we have some of those individuals that are still alive that we put under the camera, um, so that we can protect and preserve our history.
All of our history. Um, it's imperative that we do be, uh, protected. Because everybody's family that migrated to Cocoa, or either born here at Cocoa, should have some type of historical recognition.

weeks. And, and again, maybe at one of our budget meetings, we can do a 30, 45 minute conversation, um, where we discuss some of those things, security conversations. Um, and I didn't really hear council really objecting to that.

he walked in the door right by me. So, um, and then I went over to, I was at a conference for Florida realtors. Um, and I served on a panel, um, and, uh, about, you know, places you would go through women's council of realtors, but anyway, um, but I

And she's from Florida. She was a former president of Florida realtors. Um, so we were well represented there and they were doing a panel. Um, and you know, Tim Weisire, he is the, uh, Florida realtors, uh, new president. And, um, you met him at the, uh, at the luncheon.
somehow cut it off, but it has to do with rental prices and how much they've gone up, adjusted for inflation. And if you look here, you'll see Melbourne, but that was kind of Brevard County. And, um, 1.4% is what, uh, adjusted for

Yeah. In the last five years, isn't that amazing? Um, but I will tell you the prices because of all the lovely apartments that we've had built all around, they've stabilized and they're starting to go down. So on rentals, not home prices for sale.

So, uh, he was there because of the Orlando Melbourne. So he only wears a few hats and he has three companies. So he's not a busy man at all. Um, it scared me to death because I didn't know he was there. He came up behind, grabbed my shoulders. I jumped. Um, so anyway, that's all the, the pictures. I'm sorry that I've missed some of the things I signed up to do with the council the last few days, but I'm
