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.
390 suspect passage(s) marked in place; 2 stretch(es) where a voice was detected and no words were recognized.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 22 voices separated from the audio.
27 short machine repair(s) (36 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 87.3% of 15,113 content words.
Dotted words (406 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
390 passages (28% 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.
Voice detected, no words recognized (2 stretches). Something may have been said here that the transcript does not have:
00:44:19 (7 s) — neither reading has words
01:28:16 (6 s) — neither reading has words
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.

It's similar to an item that came before the last meeting of the fiscal year, the last meeting of the last fiscal year. And this is just to clarify and ensure that we are providing for this year's service as well as being able to provide expenditures for what was already done.

It's a few bad apples, he states. A citizen police review board can eliminate the bad apples. Also, many times we have people overlook the bad apples. That's why we need a citizen police review board.

Yes, Mr. Mayor. I just want to fill the council in. If you recall, the council employed and engaged the services of the Center for Public Safety Management to conduct a, essentially,

One of the recommendations, I can tell you, preliminarily, is the establishment of a board. But along those lines, and I understand what Reverend Dennis is saying, one of the things, you know, I've ‸ subsequently asked the chief about is reviewing the number of citizen complaints that ‸ our city has experienced. The police department,
And there was a total of 60 complaints. I could do a breakdown of, you know, whether it was 27 being unfounded, seven sustained, 15 exonerated, 11 not sustained. In 2016, 49 complaints based on, out of over 32,000 calls for service.

to the meeting, that we have completed our review of ‸ the study that's being completed by the Center for Public Safety Management. And once the chief completes his, we will have a final conference call with the researchers and the authors of the report. And then we'll be scheduling a meeting for council for its presentation. So, it's, again, it's, obviously we've been somewhat busy with recovery operations on many fronts.

of Florida. And as my mama would say, it's a junk pile. We're still waiting for the things to be picked up from Hurricane Irma. Not only is it an eyesore, but it is such ‸ nice street. Every day, especially on weekends, we have joggers, walkers, bicyclists. And all this trash is out in the street. So what happens, people have cars and people are both veering out of their lanes and someone's going to get hurt. And then what happens, because we're aware of it, we get sued. And as a taxpayer, I don't want to have to pay for that. So let's just pick up the trash. We need to set some priorities.

requested ‸ from the county solid waste division an update or an updated map of the areas where the contractors are working today as well as where they have completed their work.
now. I haven't received it yet. But the last one that I'd sent out on Friday, you can see there was a portion of Indian River Drive that had yet to be completed. The city does have a debris collection truck that was also working in that area to assist the Brevard County contractors to kind of speed it up because we do recognize that the roadway is more narrow in that area, which he describes. And it does present challenges as you have many pedestrians on the roadway as well as vehicles. And so

the west section of Pine Ridge and the contractor was out there today and this morning. And I had to wait for him to get out of the way so I could get around him on Willow Street this morning. And this afternoon when I was back on Willow Street, we had water flooding the entire street because he left such a mess that there was no drainage going on. Because they're using like a little bobcat and loading the truck and they're leaving debris all over the road.
The entire neighborhood is a mess and then it rained and then all that stuff is washing into our storm drains. I saw it twice today. I don't know. I mean, in hindsight, we can't depend on whoever the county hires from now on.

to gain control ourselves over the debris collection for future storms. And so there may be some items for your consideration that come out of that in the future. But right now there are three county contractors working within the city.

And I think we stated in as part of our after action review debris management is ‸ significant. We just can't wait for that. ‸ But ‸ we are we do have the city truck out there augmenting the services of the county contractors. And I know Matt is diligently in ‸ contact with them almost harassing them. But I will we will double down on our efforts and we will work to see ‸ what we can do.

The length of the complex because they have taken the action of trimming back all of the trees that have been damaged. And I would say a good four feet of debris. And that's a lot of debris. Yeah. They
did the same thing over at Lost Lake. We had to hire our private people to do our lawn care to go back and clean because it was worse than if they would have just left the debris there. So I mean it's clean now because we had our people take care of it but they're ‸ really they don't have a conscience doing it. They're just doing it to say they're doing it and leaving the disaster in the rear. Just making it look bad on the city of Cocoa when it's actually not our fault.

There was a county inspector in front of my house yesterday taking pictures and getting a hold of the contractors that had been hired. They had even told Bo West that their contracts expired on the 15th of October. So there are things that we as residents can do and that's one thing.
So. And you are right. I know for a fact the city's claw truck was out there last week because they picked up a crap load off of Broadmoor. So real quick update on
We are going to do our Thanksgiving dinner again this year. Thursday we have a gathering which all of you have been made aware of. It's your choice if you want to. If you feel you know you want to swing by please do. The police department will be there. I do know codes going to be there.
be there. I was working on a presentation for Council to give you a more in depth idea of where we're at and where we're going. Including drone aerial and street level footage and plans on future building. That's going to have to come at a later date. There's not enough hours in the day so to speak. But right now the idea is is we're still pushing forward on building housing on the vacant lots. And it is my intent to figure out

to do. And that is not from the city. Please let me make that clear. It's not from the city. I have come to appreciate the fact that I see the struggles that the city has right now. Because it seems like everybody's competing with each other on certain projects, certain areas, certain neighborhoods. And I really do hope that we can figure out a way to come together and everybody work together. Because whether it's one neighborhood at a time or three neighborhoods at a time. Unless we start working together. You know we're just going to be killing herself and we're going to still have the same problems. But
Like I said last council meeting. I do have a board of directors to answer to. Sometimes I get told I can't say certain things. But oh well. So I hope to see you Thursday. And like I said Thanksgiving. Anybody that's hungry.

I'm wearing my utilities advisory board hat tonight. And I think it's about three years now that I applied to be on that advisory board. So of course the last couple of days I've been following ‸ the newspaper closely. And I just want to say that I joined the committee after you know a career working ‸ in water. And so I understand the importance of that service. And that we are the first line of defense in public health and the environment. We have a critical role to play in
And I think we've got a really competent leadership doing that. But I'm ‸ afraid that ‸ I feel like what's been going on with the media that it is so distracting. From really focusing on that mission. And that I'm hoping we can find some peace in that regard. Because I think we need the media. We need to be as transparent as possible. When it comes to the public health of
And we have so many good things going for us now. I think we have the confidence of the region to a large degree. The ability to expand. Strong operation with asset management.
I just think that from a citizen standpoint. We just want to see as much transparency as possible. And so as much as we can work with the media as possible. And defensiveness. I'm afraid that that's just perceived as not being transparent. So as much as we can avoid being defensive. And just being focused on being the first line of defense. In public health and the environment. I think we're going to be most well served.

my property. Mr. Ed and Dean I've been working with, FEMA has come out to the property, said that basically I can't submit my property that part of the culvert because I don't own it. I said okay. He says where's your property line? Showed him my property line and they said you have to get the city to submit that for you. That's their responsibility.

And I know Dean and Ed has submitted numbers. Supposedly that was in a larger package that was submitted to FEMA. I asked Dean the other day to get me those papers so I can see that it had been submitted to FEMA ‸ already. He said basically that he could not show me the numbers or the paperwork because it was part of a larger total. I said well how am I going to know that this is really legitimately submitted. So when I spoke to Ed yesterday he said that he should be able to get you that. He should be able to get you those numbers. And I said well I ‸ would really appreciate that so we can get the ball rolling. And then Ed stated it could take anywhere from three to four months to hear back from FEMA. I said well I understand that you know Washington don't move fast all the time. But in the water is still at this current moment flowing underneath the pipe. But I don't know with the weather how much longer that's going to be that way. This is not a baby culvert.

with the water flow. So my concern is the culvert that I'm using right now. I have no access to my property. I'm using a neighbor's little drive crossing in front of his property to exit the other culvert. I'm very concerned about if this was to crumble on a weekend and y'all weren't open. Who would I call to then say the pipe is fully collapsed. The water is backed up and flooding subdivisions.

I've never asked the city to put a 40 foot wide culvert back in. I just want to be able to get home without having to cross another person's property. That's all I've asked for is to fix the culvert. I thank you all for your time and your patience in hearing me out today.

So I'll ask Matt to follow up with that. But we're aware of the situation. I think there's, you know, an issue is, is it the city's or is it the property owners? It's a drainage easement and the property owner, ‸ before she bought the property, built the culvert over the drainage easement to access their property.
replaced it on their own because it was their responsibility. So that's the issue that's kind of really, and I think maybe Ed and Anthony can quickly articulate, but we can meet, I'll have Matt meet with ‸ the lady, but I just, I don't have, other than the information that I know that has been expressed to me and my understanding of, you know, your
here, but there's a drainage easement and you need to get across. So you built the culvert or whoever built the house originally built the, you know, to put the pipe and put the driveway over it. And that's part of their development project.

that you were referring to that had the improvements made to it? Just so you know, that is part of a CDBG strategy area. It's called West Cocoa strategy area. So those were county funds that were allocated from federal government to make those improvements.

They have other better problems, I mean more problems than us. My house gets surrounded by water. The whole house gets surrounded by water. Sinkholes are coming in. The sinkhole is still there. They still haven't fixed it. We have to keep calling in every time there's a sinkhole because they don't come inspect. There's a big sinkhole that right now is full of water the way we took the car out. It's still there. I'm not going to say nothing else anymore.

Of course, tonight, there is somebody tracking all that, right? And we need to look at that on an individual basis, you know, like at Coventry, you know, all the districts.
essentially from Hurricane Irma, well, even those two storms we had about mid-summer where we had some flooding issues downtown and then also throughout the community during Hurricane Irma and then that nor'eastern that came through a week later, we had the damage assessment crews go out in those neighborhoods and they have documented the addresses, whether it was street flooding, whether
Yeah, yeah, we need to have an action plan to address all of it because this is going to get worse and worse, you know, especially if we're in a storm, you know.
One of the things, I know on October 10th, the St. John's River Water Management District, you know, they had their meeting and ‸ the city attorney alerted ‸ me to this. There was, there was,

at their maps, we're clearly in that 12 to 14 inches area of the amount of rain that we, that we experienced. The district as a whole, 2.2 trillion gallons was dropped during those storms. I think if, if, if you take our square mileage, I want to say
think Matt has some pre and during and post pictures as it relates to the Walmart site. So, uh, but yeah, it's certainly an issue that we will monitor. We, we have, Wilma was one of the most significant issues, events that we had from a flooding standpoint, and we have the map that identified back then, you know, so, uh, so we,

there is in fact water coming out of the hills along Indian River Drive. Uh, we are in the process of doing a geotechnical assessment of the soils in the High Point area, because there's a substantial amount of water coming out of one of the highest elevations in Brevard County. So it's very strange. Um, and, uh, they're, they're gonna get, do some analysis, as well as, uh, some citizens in that area have some intrusion into their homes, because their homes are actually built into the hill. And so, uh, they're doing their part. Uh, we're going to, uh, complete this, uh, assessment to help, you know, not only the city with our, our road conditions, but also those residents so they have an idea of what they can do. So there's, there's flooding issues on the surface and there's flooding issues below the surface. Wow. Wow. You can,

And they never were capped, and so it's probably because of the saturation of the ground, the water continues just to flow out of it. Yeah. And it's causing issues. And we surmise that that may be the issue or

on the road there because of the water. But my first thought was, I mean, two weeks after any rain and there's still water running out of those apartments through their parking lot and down Dixon Boulevard to the river, and it is, there's those underground springs on that property there, and the water's just going everywhere. I've never seen anything, I've lived here since the 70s and I've never seen that happen.

Yeah, there, there's still one, uh, with the mast that's up against the, uh, boardwalk that they're removing. They're going to continue that work, I think, uh, to access that boat.

And, uh, we're getting back to that point where we can look at what we have.

between me and Florida today. It has nothing to do with the city of Cocoa, the city of Cocoa water system at all, other than it's mentioned. It's really between us and them. And let me make something clear. I worked on a lot of things over the years for, on behalf of the city, way before I was elected. And ‸ I didn't see eye to eye with ‸ Florida today, which is fine. That's fine. But when I was elected, I found out pretty quick, pretty darn quick, that Florida today was publishing a lot of their, like, mug shots and crime news.
mentioned Cocoa, Cocoa, Cocoa, Cocoa. And it looks like, you know, you can go back really a couple of decades. This went on and on and on. You know, always blaming crime on Cocoa. So we did probably gave our PR person gray hair. We ‸ went to Florida today, and they were resistant, ‸ and I'll just be honest with you, they were lazy, you know, but we badgered the crap out of them. And we finally convinced ‸ them to quit publishing the crime statistics with everybody's from Cocoa. It's like the lady said over here, who was here earlier. She lives in the county. I mean, it would be people

But Bob Stover did the right thing, the former editor, you know. And so, you know, I've been hard on the paper. I don't agree with a

what really happened, kind of set this off, this is what happened. I get up at 7 o'clock a.m. The storm's just dissipating. The hurricane, Irma. I walk in my bathroom like
normally would. I go in there and I'm thinking, okay, I wash my face and brush my teeth and turn the water on. And there was no water pressure. I went, whoa! I kind of freaked out a little bit. And I'm 54 years old and never lost, never seen Cocoa lose water pressure. ‸ But we just got hit by a medium hurricane. So I go downstairs. I put some clothes on. Grab my phone. Go downstairs. I call the EOC. And my phone wasn't hooking up with the EOC. That's here. EOC's upstairs.
outside. Things are still blowing around a little bit. And my phone rings. And it's a friend of mine who says there's a reporter that wants to interview inside City Hall in the EOC.
