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.
364 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.
21 short machine repair(s) (25 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 92.7% of 14,117 content words.
Dotted words (347 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
364 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.
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.

annual item that's brought before Council to inform Council of what the investments update is for the fiscal year ended September 30th. 2024. Mr. John Grady with public trust advisors, we'll give you a presentation first on the economic update and then he'll provide you an update with the status of the city's investments for
Thank you. A few economic topics and then I will finish my presentation with a brief review of the investment program. Of course, during any part of this, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask those during the presentation or as a follow up. So thank you. So let's jump right in. ‸ It's hard to believe we're already at close to the end of the first month of 2025.
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:06:01–00:06:03 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
makes up certainly better than three fourths of the economy, it's been much stronger than many market participants have felt for the better part of 24 months. So that's the good news is that the economy continues to grow. The other side of that might be the amount of debt that we're taking on as consumers as well as the federal government. So that is certainly a challenge and what many folks are looking at and concerned potentially into 2025. But

So not too bad considering we were started the year at 1.6% and the thought was it may be closer to one, maybe less than 1% for 2024. So good news there from the overall economic picture. Jumping over to CPI. So really, as we remember, the Fed's two primary mandates are stable monetary policy, i.e. lower inflation and full employment. So as we see the economic indicator of inflation, CPI, we can see as we go to that right hand side of the chart, we've seen an actual uptick in inflation over the last couple of months towards the end of 2024.
So good news is inflation or price increases have come down dramatically. But now they're sort of in that that sticky phase is what many market participants are calling that. A lot of that's tied to food and shelter and transportation costs, which are major expenditures for us as consumers. So that will likely be a challenge for us as consumers, although we've somewhat weathered that storm for the better part of two years.
start to lose the data points that are much higher inflation. So that brings that 12 month average down. So if prices can stay level, potentially come down, that should help bring inflation down. And that would certainly help the Fed. Remember, the Fed is going to generally increase that overnight borrowing rate, that Fed funds rate, to slow down the economy. And they're going to bring that rate down to hopefully to help stimulate the economy.
part of 2024. So we've got inflation that certainly has come down, but still a bit challenging. The other part is full employment. So the Fed also wants to help the economy by having stable employment, low unemployment, good job creation on a monthly basis. The chart that we see on the top right is are those nonfarm payrolls or job growth on ‸ a monthly basis. It's somewhat skewed because if you look at the far left hand side of that chart, we're going back to 2021. Those are still months where job creation was being made up by more than 20 million jobs lost in 2020, as you remember, in a few months.

They revised that, I believe, 34,000 jobs created. The reason for that, though, we had three significant hurricanes roll through the southeast that were very devastating. And we also had that dock worker strike, which it major ports around the country. So that was a big reason for that October number. So if we set that aside, arguably job growth was pretty decent at the end of 2024.

long periods of time, we're still in a really good spot when it comes to the labor market. So inflation a bit sticky. Labor markets seem to be still fairly decent. We didn't have as much job growth in 24 as we did in 23, but still

recall, last year when I was talking about this. Most dramatic monetary policy in decades, if not more than 100 years. So now we've ‸ hit that number last year in July of well, pardon me, in July of 23. It held steady for about a year. And then in the summer, the Fed started talking about potentially lowering the overnight rate. Really, at that time, the thought was that the market was starting to cool, meaning labor ‸ market was starting to cool, economy potentially starting to slow down.
of 2024 and into ‸ December, cut ‸ the overnight rate at three separate meetings from 5.5% to 4.5%. That's actually still a healthy overnight rate if we look at the overnight rate for the last more than 20 years. And in fact, if we go back from 2008 to now, so call it 17 years, that overnight rate was zero for about nine of those years. So still in a pretty healthy area from the overnight rate. And the Fed has actually revised their expectations upward of that overnight rate, suggesting that they feel even more strongly now than they did in September about the future of the economy, at least in the near term.
we do not market time your investments. Your goals are safety of principle, making sure you have enough liquidity, and then seeking to earn a market rate of return.
So just looking at this chart, a lot of data on here. Really what we're seeing is the overnight rate back in September, the market was projecting that overnight rate to go
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:13:14–00:13:15 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So almost half of that rate potentially cut. And we see this chart going from the left to right. You see that ‸ higher circle that's suggesting fewer rate cuts. That's great news. That means that right now the market's projecting that overnight rate, short term rates and rates interest rates in general to stay elevated versus what expectations were a few months ago. And again, that's good news for your investment program. And so to wrap up this part, and then we'll jump right into your investment program. This is the U.S.
yield curve looking at it year over year. So if we look at this chart, it doesn't seem like much has changed. And in fact, if we look at the left hand side, you'll see the decrease
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:13:59–00:14:01 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
And if we go from left to right, we can see actually that blue line just a slight bit higher, meaning longer term rates have actually trended up a little bit higher. That's also great news because as you're reinvesting your maturities within your investment portfolio, you're now earning a higher rate of return by taking on that additional maturity structure within the investment program. And then going back to the left hand side, overnight rates staying higher than what was expected. Those help your liquidity investments as well.
duration. And we'll talk about that in a moment. So on this slide, doesn't look like much change when we look at year to year. When we look at this slide, we can see this is 24 months. But if
Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:15:10–00:15:14 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
half percent more recently. So great news. So that's a summary of an economic update. Certainly don't want to rush those comments, but hopefully that provided you a bit of background on that. Let me just pause for a moment. Any thoughts from the mayor of the council?
Well, let me be first to say thank you, big John, for your continued collaboration with our finance director. Thank you. Hand in hand. Clearly, we see the improvements, the wise investment.
So I thank you for that. So we try to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and invest wisely. Yes, sir. The market has been fair to us and equitable to us. And I look forward to that. It continued to do so.
going to finish with a couple of slides on the program itself and just highlight that again, safety, liquidity and yield are your primary objectives. The investment program is actually built around your cash flow needs. And again, this is important for our collaboration with Miss Bowman and her team. Her information provides us the understanding to make what we believe are educated, ‸ knowledgeable investment recommendations to Miss Bowman and the team. It's based on the sources and uses of funds. Where are these funds coming in ad valorem, other revenue sources?
So, again, liquidity and then three separate investment portfolios to allow you to take advantage of U.S. treasuries and fixed income investments generally between one and five years.

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:17:18–00:17:22 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
So, again, part of that balanced investment approach. A couple of highlights I want to point out here inside that blue box, you'll see the book yield that book yield from 23 to 24.

Flag: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ between the machine readings · 00:17:35–00:17:38 · unresolved: the words are not shown (unclear audio); listen to the recording
Even as market yields came down, you'll see that market yield. So while market yields came down over the year through September, your investments continue to increase in yield due to that longer term strategy you have in place.
that actually resulted in the income on this portfolio year over year to increase more than two and a half times. And you'll see that same sentiment here through these various investments as well as through the ‸ overall investment program on the last slide. We reinvested around a third of this portfolio over that 12 month period. And we captured rates anywhere from 3.5 percent to as much as 5 percent.

It also has an average maturity of two and a half years. You'll see this is very similar to the operating portfolio structure, although it's slightly different because these are funds that are designated ‸ based on your bond

a third of this portfolio during that same time frame. Again, keeping that similar strategy in mind. And much like the operating ‸ reserve portfolio increased almost a full percent during the same time frame where market yields drops a similar strategy. Also saw a significant increase in

needed, we simply reinvest those back out on the curve. So this portfolio has a duration or an average maturity of around two years. So slightly lower, but similar. Of course, all three portfolios are fixed income, as I mentioned. They need to fit within the parameters that are governed by your investment policy as well as Florida state statutes. And you are compliant not only from an individual portfolio, but also from an overall investment program.
This is your asset allocation chart as of your fiscal year end. And you can see on the far right hand side the compliance check. And all of those are yeses, which is where we want to be.
approach. Miss Bowman over the last couple of years has developed a very streamlined process from a fund accounting approach. And what that does again is allows her to maintain the amount that she needs within these funds, but then allows us to provide a more efficient approach to investments and not leave more than needed in any particular investment vehicle because it's unknown. It's known.
And that's increased your interest earnings from well over 2 million to well over 5 million. Now the market's been generous from that perspective, but there's two parts of this. One is the market offering interest rates that you can invest in.
If rates go down, of course, we would likely see interest earnings go down. But because of the approach that you have, you'll be protected for some period of time because of these investments that you've made in the past. So again, well balanced, compliant. We're very appreciative of our partnership with the Miss Bowman, of course, with you all and with the city. And with that, I'll pause for any questions about the investment program itself.

So with that background, what I would suggest is that it's been wonderful to see that ad valorem's property values, other tax revenue sources have increased as we've had a pretty strong economy here in Florida for several years. So what I've seen from entities that I work with have been an increase in balances. The increase in interest earnings can also help offset costs for project, because as we know, the other side of that are project costs, capital projects in particular, have skyrocketed since 2019, 2020.

No, that's citywide assets. Yes. For all funds. And obviously a large portion of it belongs to the utility fund. Right. Not only from excess cash that the fund may have on at a given time, but also the reserves that the multiple bond issues have. So we have to set that money aside and hold it.

causeway. We built a pipe on the other, split the costs of the contractor for the equal layman of the pipe, and then kind of cut up all the other costs as appropriate for each of us. And so, this is kind of the final, kind of a continuation of that. So, that landed us, you know, on the, by the yacht club or the yacht area there by the, you know, by the backside of the Space Center or the,
But we don't go any further. And so, the idea was we wanted to have full connection, which would take us all the way to the U.S. or to A1A, and then all the way
We would make a secondary connection on the very south end for water quality, but we would connect to the front so that the water could go in any direction. It could go north, could come from the south, and so on. So,
It took a number of years, obviously, to get this point, but we secured some funding via the Military Resiliency Grant Program, and then through the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, and through the state program, where if we get those grants, and if it all goes through and everything's okay, it's really, it's no cost to the current ratepayers. It's state money and federal money combined to do a design to get us to that next level. And then, obviously, we'd be seeking additional grant money because the costs would be tremendous to build that water pipe, and we would be seeking something similar. But the best way to do it is get the design on the shelf and then see what we can do, you know, at that point. So, barring any ‸ permanent, you know, a ceasing of the grant, we'll have to monitor that. I did ask our project manager to ‸ reach out to our grant contacts to, of course, they don't know anything yet either, but we're keeping that channel open. We haven't incurred any expenses at this point. The only thing we've done is we've put out an RFQ for the design, and I believe that design is under review, and I believe there's a presentation coming up for the shortlisted firm. And at that point, before we would actually engage them with a task order, and that would have to come back, obviously, we would ‸ want to know what the grants, what was going on. So, I think that's all I have, unless you have some questions.

and so I wanted to get an update on that. The next thing was, um I know we talked about multiple times about HB 1365. And the way things are going right now these last few weeks, I'm a little bit nervous about um us being in compliance with that. I know a lot of cities are not wanting to talk about it, um but I kind of want to stay ahead of the game if we can. um And so just going to get an update on where we are with it, how are we going to respond to it when they start cracking? um

of Florida can sue any municipality. But the problem does not lie on the municipality. The responsibility is the county. city Cities have the option to opt out of it. So that is the reason why I'm saying it's like you got to just hurry up and wait. There's nothing you can do about it. I mean, life needs to go forward. Because i I'm not going to sit up ‸ and worry about somebody's sooners Hey, we get sued daily. Everybody knows that. It's nothing new. any and all municipalities are sued quite frequently, daily. So that's why it's nothing new under the sun. The only problem comes
So where are you going to accumulate and acquire funds? And they limit the the amount of fundraising or acquisition for us as a municipality to go through either fees or taxes to pay for something that they don't want to fund. That's just the bottom line. So my my heart is not troubled by it. Lawsuit, okay. We have over

legislative session thatthat really says that cities and counties cannot allow, um um the sleeping, uh or camping overnight in public spaces there. and so it's a prohibition against allowing that and cities and counties, uh can be sued for allowing individuals to sleep or to camp in public places there. You know, the, ‸ problem with 1365 is, is that,

The, ‸ legislation also says that, you know, to, to ‸ prevent them from unhoused from, or anybody from sleeping or camping, camping in public places there,
state agency. And that encampment has to have certain, certain provision of services, certain amenities there. No city can do anything without the approval of the county in which they reside. And so even if I came to you and had the best of plans, you would still have to present that to the, uh to the, uh Brevard County Commission and have them approve that. Nobody has a plan. um um you know, last meeting,
about the buses. That whole issue was in response to 1365. And, and again, that, you know, whether you can do that under, under our current zoning regulations is, is debatable. But, but again, no city has stepped up and said, here is our solution to 1365. The county hasn't stepped up. And if any city does step up, you still have to run your plan, have your plan approved through the, um through the, uh Brevard County Commission. We've sat together as a city representatives, as not not-for-profit uh representatives, uh with the, with the homeless coalition to talk about solutions,

be a solution unless everybody gets together and come up with a solution. None of us know what that is at this particular point in time. And so, and so that, that literally is the progress. The progress that has been made is we sat together as a, as a committee. We talked about uh how do we address it? uh The mobile shelters was one idea. uh We talked about um ‸ communities. And I think there are some communities that build the small pallet homes. uh And so we've had all sorts of ideas, but again, uh until someone steps up and says, oh that's a, that's an acceptable uh facility provision of service in my city. Then we're going to continue to talk about it. And I've, I've been around here for 31 years
And so, so I don't know that, that there's any progress report that we can give you. We just, we, we're going to have to come back together in that committee and, and, and talk about how we do it. I'm assuming that the homeless coalition is going forward with Matthews Hope to provide those services through some sort of contract with them.

talking to Stockton, sometimes we may forget that. And so um we we should, and I believe some good information ‸ came out tonight um that I was unaware of and possibly some residents was unaware of things that our city are taking a part of, like working with housing for the homeless or uh the homeless coalition. uh
to open up Pandora's box. is is to is to have thoughtful conversations and or get information. um ‸ And so uh Commander Martiga also, can can you please add a Provost Park to that? Because um we have some of the same issues um that a crew has pretty much been there for a ‸ while. um And so, you know, hanging clothes on the fence line is really on the fence is really not uh appropriate, I think, for anybody to see. And so, um yeah, just add that to that to that list, please. Thank you.

Again, sometimes it seems like it's a small thing to to us, but for some of those seniors who need visibility, um it was very hard for them to see traffic. And so appreciate Public Works for getting out uh ‸ taking care of that.

there a model living room. I think it was a two bedroom The center photo is some of the ‸ amenities, outdoor amenities, really nice pool area, really nice uh play area.
there I couldn't get all my photos in here, but there's some great things there. As well as they have um a viewing area so that they can watch launches. But that top, the top right, that is their gymnasium. So really top-notch place. And, you know, this is a great development because, as you mentioned, it's redevelopment. You know, it's infill. It's uh it's taking our blight and making it into something that we're proud of.

Now, this was a project that we actually approved in 2019 that went, I guess, quiet for a while. And now is coming back.

But it's basically in that area that is behind, uh Aldi's.

Flag: words were replaced by a machine repair · 01:17:43–01:17:43 · machine repair: words replaced where two further machine readings agreed (not checked by a person)
really wanted. i And I know we have a lot of things that we're going to be addressing this year. So it's slow to get things in a public forum at one of our meetings to discuss, but one of the ones that I've been asking for um for several months is the the report that we submitted in August. And
first time I put this up here, I didn't really explain it well, what these maps are. So you have, you all have this report, I believe, and you have the opportunity to go back and look at it more, and hopefully we will have some sort of presentation. But what you have in
sewer connections. And um so you see all the neighborhoods uh there that are within the North uh Basin Management Action Plan for the Indian River Lagoon. And this is the area that, of course, is under the um the special Indian River Lagoon Plan that we're talking about in 2030, at least whether or not they have um any way to um police this or not, they're sending us signals that this area um is a focal point. um And so that's why this particular report was requested for August 1st. But on the left side, so the red is where the sewer line connections are. The purple is an inventory of the septic, our septics. So as you can see, the, the, um not a lot in District

submitted to the state. And this is our estimated, where we look to have septic growth. And one of the reasons I'm so anxious to talk about this is that
the purple, this is where the bright line station is going in. So as policy makers these are things that we need to have on our radar screen that we need to really be considering when we think about the city's growth. And, I hope that we can all take a better look at that.

meeting. We have 15 million, only 2 million of the 15 million that were allotted for ‸ their sewer quick connects have been used. Those are plenty of money there. And I talked with the program manager who said that not one resident has had to pay anything in addition to that. So in other words, the money allotted was enough to cover a sewer line

while they have this opportunity. And as you know, the current half cent, when I talk about the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Plan, I'm referring to the half cent sales tax. That is in effect for the next two years. um Of course, the dollars will continue to be spent afterwards. But you know, we don't know if it'll be renewed or whatever.
