regarding incoming smoke shops and kava bars. There was a recently approved

another look at allowing smoke shops next to churches in the future. In response,

IV. Awards and Presentations:
V. Delegations:
Wynell Bradley-Craig, 5670 Friendly St., Cocoa, spoke about broadband internet
and handed out flyers to the City Council. She explained that she is trying to spread
the word to get people to run a speed test from home. The results of this test will
be sent to the Broadband office of Florida and the government will be looking at it
to see what the needs are in each County.
Rev. J.B. Dennis, 3710 Catalina Dr., Cocoa, spoke about police patrolling. Law
Enforcement should be consistent in patrolling the local hotspots. Several calls
have been received regarding communities that were taken over by drugs and
prostitution. He wished to thank the Police Depart ment for their hard work,
specifically the Police Chief, Evander Collier , who agreed to meet with him and
then cracked down on the crime and made several arrests.
Bob James, 1222 Dixon Blvd., C ocoa, spoke about his new art gallery on Dixon
Blvd. He is trying to give back to the community and he believes art is therapeutic.
Admittedly, he does not believe this is the best location for an art gallery so h e is
going to give it one year and will be offering classes. He asked for help because
he can’t do it alone. He is holding an event in the beginning of November and there
will be food trucks, music and other artists. He would love to include the Police
Department and the Fire Department if they are willing to come out.

The City's agenda for this meeting is on file (CC_Reg_Packet_10_24_2023), but its item list has not been read reliably by machine yet, so no outline is shown.
Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube, in a new tab.
369 suspect passage(s) marked in place; inspection incomplete: language review.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 24 voices separated from the audio.
36 short machine repair(s) (47 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 90.5% of 13,918 content words.
Dotted words (323 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
369 passages (25% 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.

really answered the call, um, from the community about one of our parks at Gilmore Park. Um, I believe that was a great step to kind of, uh, clean it up.
despite, you know, some people may be upset about certain things, but at the same time, we have to do, uh, what we have to do to make sure our parks are, are clean. So, I think, I really appreciate you listening to

yeah. The, I just want to thank everyone for the town hall. We had over 80 people in attendance. I was a little uncomfortable because, um, we didn't, we actually, it's hard to know how many people are going to come. But I think that that greater turnout, um, shows the interest at the, for having grassroots venues where we can speak informally,
where people can ask questions and meet staff. And I look forward to having more of those. The other advantage, uh, nice thing about the town hall was that people got to see the museum. And so many of the folks that were there had never been in the museum or had never really had a chance to look at the collection. So I think they'll be, they'll be returning. And of course, the museum is being

going to be more so outside of district two more citywide. Uh, I wanted to bring something to the council's attention. Uh, as we know, I think it's been long established. This council is pro business, especially small business. And we welcome businesses of all kinds here. Um, but also I think, uh, there has to be a level of decency maintained. Uh, we have to make sure, uh, our new businesses make sense where they, they go. And, uh,
coming. And I think that's a way that's going to be here for a while. Uh, but I think we need to be proactive as a council to make sure that level of decency is maintained throughout the city. Uh, there's a recent proposed or approved, uh, smoke shop, um, that was established across the street from a church. Um, and I will also want to apologize to staff because I acted out of impulse and I made a post on Facebook that may have indicated that there was some wrongdoing by staff. And that's not the case. Uh, the establishment is within

any of this money. So I'm trying to put out the word for everybody for us to do a speed test on broadband. And that will put us in the system. You need to do this test from your home. I have flyers. You just need to scan the QR code. It takes you through doing that test. It sends your results to the state of Florida server in Miami. And you also get the results. If you'll turn that flyer on the other side, you can also see if you qualify to get $30 towards paying for your internet. The main thing you need to know about broadband. We are in a digital age. The government is trying to come in and build the infrastructure so everybody will have access to broadband.

I'm going to speak briefly about persistent police patrolling. When it comes to known hotspots where crime lives, law enforcement must remain persistent by regularly traveling through the hot crime areas. The homeowners and renters in the city of Coco has zero tolerance for the drug, trade, prostitution, and the homeless taking over communities and parks. We, the National Action Network, got several calls from communities that

conducting proactive policing. I would like to leave by saying the city needs to post some rules in these parks. And I'm going to give you a little example of rules that should be posted.
These are not parks that you'd be having in the woods. So some rules need to be such as no drugs or dealing drugs, no backpacks, no sleeping or sex in the park, no luggage, no use of drugs, no profanity around kids. These parks were designed for people to take their kids off the streets and the homeless and drug dealers and prostitutes have taken over. But

Okay, then. First time I've ever been in a council meeting, City Hall. Thank you for having me, everybody. It's amazing. Just so you know, as the mayor mentioned, I'm an engineering grad from University of Florida, barely. The last 18 years of my life, I've been in the art business. I used to have a house on Azalean Fisk. Terrible. I had to get out as soon as I could.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church. I am asking you to vote no and deny this proposed zoning change. Reason one, parking pressures. If my understanding of the site plans are correct, 230 units, 460 cars, you're only supporting 1.4 of those parking spaces. That's 150 cars that have nowhere, no home now, and you already know we don't have enough. Number two, traffic patterns.

This would introduce significant safety pressures for our school families as well as our church families during their times. Number three, we want to see Delanoi and church both remain shady, leafy, walking, pleasant walking areas. And what we see from the site plan is pushing out ‸ street to street minimum setbacks. We have no guarantee. So if you go ahead with this zoning change, you're enabling this kind of thing to move forward. Number four, repeated flooding, stormwater and wastewater runoff. We know that construction in

Just this vibe. This zoning change is a proposal to squander an irreplaceable ‸ asset. Your job is to say no and direct staff to identify and woo developers who can enhance and grow Coco's assets within current zoning. St. Mark's would be delighted to see a five story structure go in and a good development project. We have people within our parish who have

I guess not a lot of need to pontificate given the fact that this has come before us four times. But for the purpose of the minutes, and I would like to make sure that these points are in the minutes. One, and I've made all of these points before, but ‸ 100 feet does not make a historic village. We spent 30 years building the brand of historic village. And I think it's important that we understand what we're doing here. It looks like we're going to do it. We certainly have voted in that direction. But at least let's be intentional. I think my second point is, well, reinforcing that is that I have researched historic towns in Florida, the top eight historic towns in Florida. All of them have height restrictions of five stories or less. We currently have a height restriction of five stories. And I guess the, you know, to follow up with that, the,
Flag: words only one machine reading has (possibly not said) · 00:36:07–00:36:12 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
we're making that turn, though, away from being a historic village. And I would also like included in the minutes, because this agenda item talks about all the ways that this agrees with our comprehensive plan. Five stories agrees with our comprehensive plan as well. But the one point in our comprehensive plan that I think is, is most at risk here that, that, um, where we're really making a mistake. It's under future land use policy 1.1.4.3. The city shall redevelop the central business district as a viable business district, while preserving the historic character of Cocoa Village,

a tree ordinance. And, um, specifically, uh, one of the paragraphs, it says that the city council finds the trees benefit the city by ‸ decreasing urban noise, urban heat,
and flooding by providing habitat for urban wildlife, and by contributing to property values and the character of the city. And I would like to add another attribute of trees is that trees and wildlife shrubs help people's nervous system calm down.

Yes, live oak trees. And he is right. So, so to take down a live oak and replace it with a little palm is just, or whatever they're replaced with just doesn't get it. So an example of this is on page two where you're decreasing. ‸ So a tree, the diameter, it used to be four inches, had to be replaced. Now it's being changed to six inches. How large do you think the

Yeah, I, I am torn because this is more protective in that this is a policy I think is going to be implemented. Staff are really going to put this implemented. And that wasn't happening with the last one I saw. As far as flaws go ‸ and things that we can look at. Amending or improving. Whether it be now or in the future. Yeah, we talked a lot about the diameter. But in fact, the real value of trees comes from the canopy. So I guess we're assuming that those diameters represent a certain amount of canopy. The other point, well the other piece of this that I thought was, could be better. Let's put it that way. Is that we are allowing a so if a developer chooses to, um, to donate a conservation lands to a conservation

the population, has about the same amount of it developed. I just think that we would have been better off or we would be better off going with the full acre in terms of our liabilities and taking care of it later on. And in terms of the ecosystem benefits that it provides us. And, you know, that's everything from the stormwater absorption to the opportunity for wildlife to have someplace. Nonetheless, I think it, I'm, I'm going to vote for this, um, because I'm trusting that it will be implemented that, um, and that we will watch how that works out in terms of, uh, the acreage.

have decades of experience, as Tammy can attest to, in administering scholarships for our students who are in the Take Stock and Children program, as well as scholarships for graduating seniors. So we are hoping that the city of Cocoa will be the pace setter, and that once you approve this scholarship, that we might ask the other cities to follow suit.

Yeah, I think this is a great program, ‸ but like I've said before, I do not feel like it should be just geared towards Cocoa High School alone, because we do have residents who live in the city limits of Cocoa,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:50:15–00:50:19 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
for example, Rockledge based on being in the Cambridge program, or they go to, say, for example, Space Coast because they have the air conditioning or plumbing program that Cocoa High has the construction. So a lot of people a lot of children or parents decide to go to certain schools not because they like one school or the other one. It's just they may have certain programs that gear toward their liking. So I think it needs to be limited towards city of Cocoa residence, not necessarily for a particular high school. Just make that be the ‸ line, which is city of Cocoa residence, just in my humble opinion.

And first of all, it's regretful that the people of District 3 aren't making this decision. Um, but we're left in this position. The process that I thought was most diplomatic, because we have, we have very qualified, all of our candidates are very qualified. And I don't know about you, but you know,
Um, I'm glad that we'll hear from all the candidates, but I would propose that we use the same process that we used when we appointed the city ‸ manager. And that's where we did a ranking. And we did a closed ranking. So each of us would submit that, of course, those totals would be available to the public. But it takes the politics out of it a little bit.

Um, yes, it is. It's a nip and tuck race. And, and I'm quite familiar with all of the individuals here, all five candidates. And that's a tough decision. We're going to have to make, but we need to make this decision so that district three do receive proper and equitable representation for their area. I think it's imperative that we do so. So, um, I would like to hear from them. And then, um, I personally ‸ just, you know, if you would like to nominate someone, you can or whatever the case may be. That's just my assessment because that's almost parallel like what we do, uh, for when we

of things that I hope you consider in your decision. The first is the contingency that we face ourselves right now as a city. There is an open seat. There is a lot going on in the city equal to staff's efforts. And my hope would be able to not just not make wrong decisions, but to enhance the decisions that are going to be made. Because ‸ I bring a perspective of experience with myself. I previously served as the vice mayor for the city of Titusville.
influence on me over the years with the idea of telling me how great the city of Cocoa was. Uh, and so I wound up putting my life savings and life investment, bought a home here, and I've been glad and have been happy to call the city of a Cocoa home. Uh, I say that because I believe where you put your time and treasure means something. So just know that that is the case. Equally, I understand from a staff's perspective what it means to have a council member who can advance policy while balancing that need of community concern, while also making sure to meet the needs of the staff who are going to deliver the services that the community needs. I understand what it means to have to save over years in order to put dual pushing for our fire department with a new engine.
to hit the pedal in his car, the thing moves down the road and a citizen that 30 extra seconds can be life or death for them. I understand that from city staff and city planning what it means to understand the nuances of zoning and can differentiate between a PUD zoning and other zoning. So when we talk about the flexibility and development, I understand those things.
equally need representation as well. While many of you have had the fortune to be born here or spend a long time here, some of us just had the privilege to be able to move here to call that home. As you can tell with our residents, there's a diverse population. If you're wondering what kind of service or heart that I serve

The point is, there is an alignment of resources and building capacity where we as city council members have that opportunity to do so. It's not us coming up with a solution. It's us gaining and garnering the support to align shared visions to build capacity. That's often represented by the escape space coast league of cities mayor. That was the opportunity that I had to do to do some work with you.

on people that we lift everybody up. I can share with you my time for with NVHS doing stand downs at the Cocoa Armory trying to help our communities. That's something that I believe in for our ladies who are being abused on the street because they feel self value or lack of worth and know that there is somebody who is doing

I recently retired in April and I set myself up to where I have the time to do this job. My wife often asks me how much time it takes to, you know, put into this job. And I'm not exactly always truthful about that because I know there's more time than just two meetings.
there's, there's many events. And, and you really got to have, you all know, you got to have more time. And being retired gives me that time. I'm able to do it.

Good evening. How are you all doing tonight? Thank you so much for considering me, uh, to fill the vacant seat on city council. Um, I have, uh, lived in Coco six and a half years now. We moved to Brevard County in 1980. My husband was in the coast guard.
we were here from 80 to 83, came back in 96 and the category five hurricane is not blowing me out of Brevard County. I love the area. I love the city of Coco. Uh, we have so much potential. I printed out a copy of what district three looks like. It's the largest landmass of all the districts.

And I've seen the beauty of, um, all these kids coming together and, and the connection that they share. It takes a lot of stripes and a lot of courage to make a tiger. And I know there's a lot of tiger pride right here.
I love, um, our, our, the youth of our community. Um, I also, uh, support the, the, uh, the elders here in this community. I have seen, um, unfortunately, um, the, the loss of some of our public spaces that were safe places for everyone to go.

And, um, I would like to be here in a position where I can support that with you.

We need to, uh, preserve what we have. And I know you're on that mission and I would like to support you on that mission.
but you know what? There is a university in diversity and we are all going to work together. And I would like to be a part of that. Um, tonight you have an important choice. Who is going to represent district three? Okay. I, I urge you to count. I know you're going to carefully consider this. I've been a resident here for 20 years and a business owner here.
I have had a chance to meet, um, some of the officers who put their lives on the line every day. And I would like to continue that support in every way that I can. Um,
because I believe that asking questions about the health of our community and asking ‸ questions about the future of our committee, our community are vital. And, um, I want to work with every single one of you. I know all of you. I've had a chance to talk with, with you and I'd like to work with you. I'd like to be a team player.

that had the most attendance there for the exercise, with a spread of attendance. So, we had two people from our police department, one of our commanders, Commander Markeka,
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 01:33:20–01:33:22 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So, Rob helped facilitate somewhat of the exercise and build it out, but he wasn't able to attend, because they didn't want him giving us the answers. But, we had a great opportunity to really look at our vulnerabilities for our community in both Central Florida, but also, it was a true life event that could have happened to us. I'll just give you a quick brief on what it was. Basically, it was a cyber security incident. I promise, Rebecca, I'll talk faster.
The polling booths, you know, what goes along with that, along ‸ with civil unrest, which caused us to bring in PD. So, really great exercise. CFIX actually put together a video, so it's a very short video, a little over a minute, and then we'll be done. I'll show you the video.

to go through their emergency disaster recovery plans, their business continuity plans, and ensure that their documentation, their steps, and their procedures in events of emergency, cyber attacks, that their plans actually do work.
It's important because it teaches everyone regional collaboration and communication. We're hoping they walk away with networking, right? They need to know the people that they need to talk to.
A lot of people don't really know how to react to that in an emergency management setting. We want them to start getting in contact with the right people so that if and when this does happen, they know who to call and what steps they have to take.
So this is a wonderful opportunity as IT professionals to observe how the government operates, but also lend our knowledge as well and help service the community.
Anyone that has anything to deal with information that needs to be turned into verified data, CFIX is the central point. They can do a lot. They're kind of the unsung heroes between a lot of the major disasters that happen in Central Florida.

on that, this was the first cybersecurity exercise that was done on a tabletop exercise regional wise of this magnitude. So Central Florida actually set the bar for that exercise and what went on there. A ton of good feedback, ‸ but to see our small city a part of that ground breaking process. This video will be used for other regional planning councils across the state

we can just real quickly I think your legislative priorities are not going to change from from last year. There's gonna ‸ be one addition it's gonna be the to ‸ support state funding for J and K so that would be the add to it. But but if you recall from last year, the the priorities were, and we ‸ divided these up into categories. The priorities were the funding of all phases of State Road 524 and 501
Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:38:09–01:38:11 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
actually done quite well in terms of getting a State Road 524 into the five-year work plan, the tentative five-year work plan. It's supporting additional funding for the conversion of the

Winter Park under affordable housing it's the we always need additional dollars for ship programs for affordable housing. Recall that we we pale in comparison to other similar cities with regards to that funding.
Again, in talking to our state lobbyists, he still believes that they're gonna ‸ be dollars for those types of projects Robert could you go up not that far up continued support for first responder bonus pay I don't know where the state is on that being a recurring expense revenue source there again obviously various bills

see the sovereign immunity bill again there and so continue to to oppose that. We think we'll see a reiteration of the municipal utilities bill, ‸ which which was a seeking to prohibit the transfer to general fund dollars there. And so if a bill identical or similar to that comes out, obviously opposing that, always on top of the home rule

there is a new staff member that city staff doesn't know. Just know that, or please pass along my appreciation for the service that they do on a daily basis and for many have done for decades. And that when we talk about how we should support city staff, that I take it with that view that there are people who have been here for decades doing the work that they have been doing. So anything that would change their good work would be a substantial consideration only for the benefit of improvement.
